The thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, New Year's Eve.
The Jiang family.
The villa, built against the mountain, has six floors. Upon entering the gate, one can immediately see the expensive carpets and jade walls.
As she walked through the spacious corridor, Ji Fuying's attention was drawn to the paintings by famous people on the two walls.
This is a style that women like, and it feels very familiar to her, as if she has seen it often before.
The only woman who can live in the Jiang family is Jiang Lan. Could it be that she and I really have some connection?
Upon entering the living room, a family of four was sitting on the sofa, chatting happily, unaware of the arrival of the two.
The older woman had her back to Ji Fuying and was talking to Jiang Yunxi.
Looking at that figure from behind, Ji Fuying was certain that it was Jiang Lan.
I just don't know if she even recognizes me.
"I'm back. This is my girlfriend, Lu Qing."
"Lu Qing?" Jiang Lan's body stiffened, but she quickly returned to normal.
She slowly turned around and met Ji Fuying's gaze.
However, her pupils only contracted slightly, and then she showed no other expression.
This made Ji Fuying even more suspicious: did she really not recognize her, or was she hiding it too well?
She prefers to believe the latter.
How could someone who can make even a business tycoon like Jiang Yunshen troublesome be a simple person?
"Jiang Yunshen, what nonsense are you spouting?" Jiang Longtian's expression was clearly not good.
It's one thing to play around with it, but he actually dared to bring it home.
What kind of family status does the Jiang family have? How could they possibly allow a woman with no background to marry into the family?
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Jiang Yunshen said dismissively, pulling Ji Fuying to sit opposite them.
“Our Jiang family will absolutely not allow a woman without a family background to enter the family. Forget about it.”
"Oh, then who is she, and what is her status in marrying you?" Jiang Yunshen glanced at Jiang Lan and asked bluntly.
"You..." Jiang Long was so angry he almost flipped the table. "You've really grown up. Now you even dare to talk back to your old man?"
"Didn't you teach me? If you're right, you should stand up for yourself. Why can't I do what you can do?"
This was something Jiang Lan had taught him before he even joined the family.
But he changed, ever since Jiang Lan entered the door.
He was no longer the father who would patiently teach him.
"Brother Tian, let him be. Life is only a short ten years or so. Being with the one you love is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Jiang Lan held down Jiang Longtian's trembling hand and gently comforted him.
Since Jiang Yunshen wants to hasten his death, why not grant his wish?
I wonder if he still has any chance of winning against Ji Yan?
From beginning to end, Ji Fuying did not say a word, but instead kept an eye on Jiang Lan's every move.
She was smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
She seemed quite pleased that Jiang Yunshen was with her.
Could it be because of that Ji Yan?
She wanted to use the head of the Ji family, the leading family in Country Z, to deal with Jiang Yunshen.
Using someone else to do the dirty work—what a clever scheme!
Hopefully, that Ji Yan isn't a reckless person, otherwise she'll cause Jiang Yun Shen a lot of trouble.
On the other side.
As soon as he got off the plane, Ji Yan started asking about Ji Fuying's location.
Han Xiao hesitated, unsure how to begin.
"Han Xiao, if you want to be mute, I can grant your wish."
"Mr. Ji, Miss Ji is at the Jiang family's residence, as... Jiang Yun Shen's fiancée."
After saying that, he immediately took two steps back. You forced me to say that yourself.
"Fiancée?" Ji Yan chuckled, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
What trick is she playing now?
He would never believe that she had fallen in love with someone else.
If I could fall in love, I would have done so during those three years; why would I wait until now?
"Let's go visit the Jiang family."
The Jiang family.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was unusually awkward.
Finally, Jiang Yunhai couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his chopsticks hard on the table.
"I can't eat this meal anymore, what a disappointment." With that, he grabbed his car keys and left.
"This good-for-nothing, how old is he? All he does all day is play." Jiang Longtian had reached the point of utter despair for his son.
It's not that we don't give him a chance to change, it's just that he repeatedly refuses to learn from his mistakes.
Over time, he had no choice but to give up and focus all his attention on his youngest daughter.
"Don't be angry, Dad. Here, this is your favorite fish." Jiang Yunxi picked up a piece of sashimi and put it on his plate.
Actually, she was quite grateful to her useless brother; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand out.
Gradually, the New Year's Eve banquet came to an end.
Just as the group was about to stand up, the butler, Jiang He, entered.
"Master, Madam, Ji Yan from Country Z has come to visit and is at the door now."
"Ji Yan? Why would he come to the Jiang family, especially at this time?" Jiang Longtian asked, puzzled.
Jiang Lan stared at Ji Fuying for a moment. What else could it be but a woman?
However, she had to leave; now was not the time to meet with Ji Yan.
"Brother Tian, I'm not feeling well, I'd like to go upstairs and rest first." She rubbed her forehead, as if she really was feeling unwell.
"Okay, then you go upstairs first." Jiang Longtian had the maid help Jiang Lan upstairs.
Only after she was out of sight did he and Jiang He walk toward the door.
Ji Fuying followed curiously.
She even had a child with her former brother.
This is not something she would do.
Just how charming must that man be to have bewitched her to this extent?
At the entrance.
Ji Yan stood under the lights, his figure tall and upright, his perfect jawline exuding an air of nobility.
Jiang Longtian came up to him, just about to greet him.
He walked straight past her and slowly approached Ji Fuying behind him.
"Yingying." He called out emotionally, his eyes looking at her like a mesmerizing whirlpool that could make anyone fall into it without realizing it.
Since she disappeared, he has never smiled again.
Heaven rewards those who persevere; now, he has finally found her.
All suffering and hardship will pass.
The family of three was finally reunited, and Bu Yi would no longer cry for her mother.
"Yingying, give me a hug." He thought he would have a lot to say to her after they met.
But once they actually met, all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and feel her body temperature.
I'm afraid it's just another dream, and when I wake up, it's all for nothing.
Ji Fuying squinted and looked him up and down.
He is indeed an exceptionally outstanding man; no wonder she was bewitched by him back then.
However, she is no longer the same person she used to be, and there is no way for her to go back to the past with him.
How should she explain this?
Or should we pretend we don't know him?
No, she doesn't seem to know him at all, so why would she need to pretend?
So she asked directly, "Excuse me... who are you?"
