Inside the Ji family's study, Ji Zhonghai was also in a daze.
He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the girl named Chen Ruxue would be the daughter of that child from that year.
He never expected that the child was already dead.
Over the years, because of his wife, he never investigated what happened to the Bai family.
You can say he is cruel or cold-hearted.
He only remembered that if it weren't for Mr. Bai, he and his wife would never have been separated.
Even though his wife eventually married him, he still couldn't forgive Mr. Bai.
Ji Zhonghai thought about his wife's birthday party in half a month and secretly made the next decision.
If Chen Ruxue is a sensible girl, he can protect her a little, but if she is not, then don't blame him for being rude.
With his current status, it is easy for him to protect anyone he wants, and it is not difficult for him to drive people out of Beijing.
Anyway, no matter who it is, don't even think about influencing his life.
The abnormality of the old couple Ji Zhonghai was soon known to their three sons.
The first person to get the news was Ji Sheng, the second son of the Ji family. Ji Sheng now works under Ji Zhonghai.
As soon as I heard that something happened at home, I quickly put down what I was doing and hurried back to my parents' home by car.
Unfortunately, after coming back for a long time, he didn't get any news. Instead, Ji Zhonghai sent him back to continue working.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of them, Ji Sheng secretly called his eldest brother and third brother.
The eldest son of the Ji family is named Ji Li, who is currently serving in the military. Ji Li's only son followed in his father's footsteps and also joined the army.
Because of this reason, the father and son are often not at home and have basically no way to deal with family matters. They can only repeatedly urge their second and third brothers to pay more attention.
Old man Ji Heng neither joined the army nor went into politics. He liked doing business since he was a child. Therefore, right after graduating from high school, he started to mess around outside on his own.
Slowly, he actually managed to come up with something.
Today, he owns many businesses and has made a lot of money.
Ji Heng knew that given the position he held in his parents' hearts, even if he went, it would be in vain, so it would be better for him to ask his son to inquire about the situation.
Unfortunately, Ji Mingyuan was also scolded by Ji Zhonghai and kicked out.
Helplessly, the three brothers could only ask the helpers at home to keep an eye on the house at all times and call them immediately if any situation occurred.
It was a very lively day on Mrs. Ji's birthday, with many important people coming to congratulate her.
Most of these people came for Ji Zhonghai.
Some come to make friends, while others come out of necessity to do favors.
When Chen Ruxue arrived, she happened to see Han Yangyang inside and hurried over to greet him.
"Yangyang, you're here too?"
Han Yangyang also saw Chen Ruxue at this moment, and hurried over, "Sister Xue, you are here too."
"Yes, I originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with me, but I didn't expect that Madam Ji would actually ask Ji Mingyuan to invite me to participate.
In order not to spoil the old man's fun, I came here after all."
"So that's how it is. I thought you and that guy Ji Mingyuan...
I'm sorry, it seems I overthought it."
Chen Ruxue understood Han Yangyang's concerns and didn't take them to heart, "It doesn't matter, your cousin won't get any good reputation in my eyes anyway.
There’s no way I’d have anything to do with him.”
After hearing what Chen Ruxue said, Han Yangyang's smile became even brighter.
To be honest, she really didn't want to see anything between her cousin and Sister Xue.
After all, her cousin is a family member. Even if he is very mean or unpleasant, she still hopes that he can live a good life.
As for Sister Xue, she is the sister she has always admired. She is beautiful and capable. Who can not like her?
The birthday party didn't end until two in the afternoon.
Chen Ruxue sat there quietly, waiting for the Ji family to send all the guests away before she slowly stood up.
Old Madam Ji walked up to Chen Ruxue with a smile on her face, flanked by Ji Mingyuan and Nie Yuanyuan on her left and right.
"Child, you must be Xiaoxue, are you full? If not, I'll ask someone to make you a bowl of noodles."
"Mrs. Ji, no need, I'm very full."
Chen Ruxue was very generous and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
There was no trace of nervousness, restraint or fear of suddenly facing someone in a high position.
Old Madam Ji was very satisfied with Chen Ruxue's performance and nodded repeatedly in her heart.
Yes, it seems that this child has taken good care of himself.
Even though he lost his biological father at a young age and even though he had such a cruel mother, he still did not grow up astray.
"Mrs. Ji, I wonder why you specially called me to attend your birthday party?
There seems to be no intersection between us!"
This is the truest thought in Chen Ruxue's heart at this moment.
So I asked it very directly.
"Haha, you're quite straightforward."
Old Madam Ji stared at the girl in front of her, as if she was looking for something from her face.
After a long time, so long that the people around her were a little confused, Mrs. Ji finally made a move.
"Child, stop standing and sit down and talk.
Mingyuan, go get Xiaoxue a cup of hot water. Lao Er, go get some fruit and candy."
"Old lady, there's no need to be so busy. You're too polite!"
Chen Ruxue refused again and again. Until now, she still couldn't understand what the old lady was going to do.
"Don't move, kid. This is the first time I've met someone I like so much. Let's have a good chat."
"Well, alright then!"
Madam Ji also sat down, took a sip of water, and continued to ask, "I heard that you have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. You are really blessed."
"No, no, it's all luck, just luck!"
"Is your husband good to you?"
"Good, very good. No one has ever been more considerate to me."
"Are your parents-in-law good to you?"
"Well, not much worse than a biological daughter."
Although Chen Ruxue thought the old lady was very strange and seemed to want to investigate her household registration, she still answered her questions honestly one by one.
The old man and the young boy sat face to face and started chatting.
The people from the Ji family who were sent aside felt confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Ji Heng quietly approached his second brother Ji Sheng and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with our mother? I've never seen her like this before."
Ji Sheng stared at his mother and Chen Ruxue suspiciously for a long time, not understanding what was going on.
"Xiaoyuan, you are closest to your grandma, do you know what's going on?
Tell us about it?"
"Uncle, I don't really understand either. It was just over half a month ago when Grandma suddenly called me over and told me to invite Chen Ruxue to her birthday party.
At that time, I asked my grandmother why, but she didn’t answer me at all.”
For some reason, Ji Mingyuan felt panicky at the moment.
