Chapter 112 Four years have passed, how come you...
Chapter 112
They lived far from the Lu family's ancestral home, and often had to drive back and forth.
But in the past few days, Ji Zhi Qiu has been seeing familiar faces in the vicinity, fleeting glimpses, as if they are avoiding him and not giving him a chance to say hello.
Ji Zhi Qiu originally didn't want to greet him, nor did he take the matter to heart, but the frequency of his appearances was a bit too high.
Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."
He was speechless. The security measures around the area were too good, and paparazzi couldn't get in. He never expected that his own relatives would perfectly replace the paparazzi. Ji Zhi Qiu was almost driven crazy by them. He always felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him silently from behind.
Ji Zhi Qiu, unable to bear it any longer, secretly hid. The two middle-aged men who had been following him lost their target and hurriedly walked forward, blaming each other.
One of them was heavily pregnant and panting heavily, his breathing clearly audible in the dark night. The other was severely bald, with not a single hair follicle left, his scalp reflecting light in the night. His smooth, delicate skin was the envy of many celebrities, but unfortunately, it appeared in the wrong place.
Looking at the two sneaky people, Ji Zhi Qiu suddenly felt like laughing.
They actually arranged for two people like that to follow him. How could they underestimate him? Did they really think he wouldn't notice?!
Ji Zhi crossed his arms and turned to observe the two men, trying to see what they were up to behind the scenes.
"Where is he? Hurry up and find him!"
"I'm looking for it right now."
"Are you out of your mind? What are you digging into the grass for? Does he know how to burrow underground?"
"I just saw him throw something away. Maybe it's a love letter someone wrote to him. That way we can get something on him!"
"That's right, you can tell from the way he looks that he's received a lot of love letters."
The two of them spun around in circles like headless flies, finally collapsing against a tree trunk, panting heavily.
Do you think this is a good idea?
"It will definitely work, even my great-aunt has taken action."
"The old lady is almost ninety years old this year, can she still speak a complete sentence?"
"Of course, I'm quick-witted and speak more fluently than you. You should go lose some weight. I feel like I'm working a bellows next to you, I can't even breathe properly."
This bunch of monsters and demons specifically asked my great-aunt to come out of seclusion and fight against him.
Ji Zhi Qiu gasped, thinking how truly ruthless these people were.
If the old lady gets angry with him, then the offense will be very serious.
Is this their ultimate goal? To hire an old man to stage an accident to extort money from him?
Logically, this makes sense, but Ji Zhi Qiu has a vague sense of foreboding, feeling that things are not so simple.
He continued to observe for a while, and after the two chatted about this and that and said a lot of nonsense, they finally gave some information.
"Observing him like this is useless."
"How can we know his movements if we don't observe? What if we come up empty-handed? We can't ask our great-aunt to come a second time."
"So that's how it is. I thought they were trying to find something to use against him."
"Of course, it's also to find something to use against him. What's so good about him? He's not from a prestigious family, he's rude in his speech and actions, and he has three little burdens to carry on. His three children are also oddballs. One of them always has a long face, and it's creepy to look at!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhi Qiu's temple throbbed with anger. He snorted coldly and walked over silently, standing behind the two like a king of hell.
The two men were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the danger behind them. One of them suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if a cold wind was blowing, and he couldn't help but touch his neck.
Before he could turn around, Ji Zhi Qiu made a sudden move and kicked him hard in the butt.
The man lost his balance, cried out in alarm, and fell flat on his face.
The other lunatic tensed up, instinctively clenching his buttocks, covering his backside, and glaring warily at Ji Zhi Qiu, afraid that he would launch a sneak attack.
With that weight, Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't kick him down with one kick. She just raised an eyebrow and, before the fat man could react, slapped his bulging belly, the fat rippling like water.
Both of them sat on the ground in agony, looking utterly pathetic.
Ji Zhi Qiu crossed his arms and looked down at them, "What exactly are you planning? I'll see what you're up to. Stop with the nonsense!"
Ji Zhi Qiu was alone, and she still had a chance of winning against two men. However, the two men exchanged a glance, dared not utter a sound, and shrank back in fear.
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't want to waste any more time and went straight to the point, "You just mentioned your great-aunt, who is she?"
The two people, who were still breathing heavily, seemed to be paused when they heard these three words. They stared at him in disbelief, their expressions panicked, like greasy and exaggerated actors, almost wearing their thoughts on their faces.
Ji Zhi Qiu remained silent for a few seconds.
Someone with this level of skill dares to follow him; isn't that just asking for trouble?
He deliberately tried to provoke them, saying, "I think I know what you're up to. You think I'm an outsider and not qualified to manage the family fund, so you want to get rid of me, right?"
The two men's expressions changed several times, becoming quite unpleasant, which indirectly confirmed Ji Zhi Qiu's words.
Ji Zhi Qiu nodded slightly, looking unfathomable, as if nothing could affect him. "Don't dream about it. No matter what happens, I won't leave!"
The two stared wide-eyed at Ji Zhi Qiu in disbelief.
They wandered around for a few days and saw Ji Zhi Qiu and Lu Yu Nian together several times. Although it made them very uneasy, they had to admit that the two were truly in love.
But since they are truly in love, how could they not care about each other's previous romantic history? Moreover, the previous one was Lu Yu Nian's first love. He fell in love at first sight and was so deeply in love that he directly announced his marriage. No matter how you look at it, Ji Zhi Qiu is no match for him.
Is Ji Zhi Qiu genuinely indifferent, or is he just pretending to be magnanimous?
Their minds raced, and their gazes toward Ji Zhi Qiu changed, leaving Ji Zhi Qiu momentarily stunned.
He thought it was the same old trick, trying to use his seniority to pressure him, since he had no weaknesses and this was the only method he could use. But now the two of them reacted very differently.
“You…” He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively began to speak.
He had concealed it well before, but this sentence exposed his true thoughts. One of them, who was somewhat intelligent, immediately realized what was going on.
He struggled to pull the other person up, glared fiercely at Ji Zhi Qiu, and looked as if to say, "You little devil, I've already invited the Supreme Lord Laozi in heaven, just wait to be taken away!"
Ji Zhi Qiu: "..."
It seems that his image as a male Daji has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.
He couldn't quite process what was going on, and knew he wouldn't get any answers, so he simply crossed his arms and watched the two men limp away.
...
"what's on your mind?"
Ji Zhi Qiu stared blankly at Lu Yu Nian sitting to the side, her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
“You’ve been lost in thought for a long time. Is something on your mind?” Lu Yunian scooped up a spoonful of sweet soup and fed it to Ji Zhi Qiu.
Ji Zhi Qiu subconsciously took it in his mouth, and the sweet taste spread on his tongue, which improved his mood a lot.
He took another sip, and Lu Yunian chuckled as he looked at Ji Zhi Qiu, who was acting like a little glutton, and wiped his mouth for him.
"I knew you liked it, but I acted like I didn't notice it until you did."
Two hours had passed since he discovered the two middle-aged men who were following him, but Ji Zhiqi still couldn't sort out his thoughts. It was as if there was an invisible vortex that kept pulling him in.
He pursed his lips, not wanting to shoulder the burden alone. "Do you have a great-aunt?"
Lu Yu Nian paused, then said with considerable surprise, "This is my eldest elder, how did you know?"
Ji Zhi Qiu didn't answer, but continued to press, "What's your relationship with her?"
“I spent some time with her when I was a child. She was a rather old-fashioned and strict old woman, but she was quite fair and treated all the younger generation equally.”
For Lu Yu Nian, this was already a good evaluation. Ji Zhi Qiu could sense from the lines that his great-aunt carried a part of Lu Yu Nian's expectations for family affection, but that was all that remained.
Ji Zhi Qiu thought for a moment and said, "She actually cares about you quite a bit?"
"Maybe a little when we were little." Lu Yunian recalled for a while, but only a few fragments. "We didn't spend much time together when we were little, and after we grew up, she lived in the ancestral home and was recuperating, so I haven't seen her for a long time."
Ji Zhi Qiu understood; this was the only intelligent person among that group of monsters and demons, and he was worthy of the title of an elder of the Lu family.
A person like that wouldn't do anything shady, right?
Ji Zhi Qiu suddenly didn't want to tell the truth anymore. After all, this great-aunt had a special meaning to Lu Yu Nian. Although he wanted to be Lu Yu Nian's family, he couldn't give him the special affection that elders have, and he didn't want to destroy Lu Yu Nian's only hope in this.
"It's nothing." Ji Zhi Qiu smiled, and to distract himself, he pounced on Lu Yu Nian and hugged his neck. "I want to have another bowl."
...
After three days of peace, Ji Zhi Qiu sent the three children to school and then saw Lu Yu Nian off. Just as she was about to go back to sleep, she suddenly saw a car parked in front of the villa.
The butler went to greet them and respectfully opened the car door. Ji Zhi Qiu had never seen anyone receive such a grand treatment before, and looked over curiously.
The first thing that came into view was an old-fashioned cane, followed by silver hair, each strand distinct and neatly styled.
At first glance, Ji Zhi Qiu gave me a strong premonition that this was Lu Yu Nian's great-aunt.
The assessment was quite fair; time had not softened her serious expression, and although her eyes had become cloudy, her gaze remained sharp.
Ji Zhi Qiu knew he couldn't avoid this hurdle, but he didn't back down. Instead, he walked up with a smile. He thought that since the other person was an elder, he wanted to greet her respectfully. However, he didn't expect that when his great-aunt's gaze fell on him, the relaxed muscles on his face would twitch uncontrollably. Although he tried to suppress it and didn't show any exaggerated reaction, it was still quite a shock to his great-aunt.
"It's you again?!"
The aged voice echoed in his ears, and Ji Zhi Qiu was stunned.
again?
Could there be another as handsome as him...? This thought popped into Ji Zhi Qiu's mind, and she realized that she was being too narcissistic. She quickly gathered her thoughts and looked at her great-aunt with a serious expression.
But in his great-aunt's eyes, no matter what he looked like, he seemed to be a monster beyond the realm of humanity. He was still in that shocked and breathless state. Ji Zhi Qiu was worried that her heart couldn't take it and was about to go to help her when she saw his great-aunt pointing at him tremblingly.
"Four years have passed, why are you showing up again!"
