Chapter 99: My conscience began to ache



Shi Miao condemned Ji Jingyao's unkind behavior in his heart, but at the same time, he felt that this rogue behavior was strangely familiar. The person who led him astray was really despicable!

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Miao. They wanted to pin Shi Miao down and make him eat it quickly, or else they could just do it! Is Ji Jingyao's relationship with the Wen family so good? No, I've never seen Ji Jingyao give such an unprecedented gift to the Wen family before.

If the person giving the gift today was someone other than Ji Jingyao, they would have imagined a passionate and domineering love story. But when it came to Ji Jingyao, they subconsciously deleted that answer. Surely it was because Shi Miao was a master of metaphysics?

Wen Ying couldn't help but reveal an anxious look and pushed her daughter's hand, "Miao Miao, stop being dazed and take the medicine quickly."

Every time, the daughter refused to listen to advice and insisted on shortening her life to read fortunes for others, which frightened her relatives.

Given Ji Jingyao's status and position, he certainly wouldn't use fake things to deceive others. Even if it meant owing a favor to an important person, Wen Ying wasn't willing to let this opportunity slip away. What was there to wait for?

"If you don't eat it, I'll just stuff it in your mouth." She was getting anxious watching from the side. Her daughter usually looked smart, so why did she fail at the critical moment?

Seeing that her mother was about to roll up her sleeves and do it herself without caring about her image, Shi Miao's eyelids twitched. Under the gaze of everyone, she really couldn't say that her goal was to vomit blood and put herself on the verge of death.

She could only accept the gift and swallow the snow lotus heart whole. It looked the size of a fist, but it melted in her mouth, transforming into abundant spiritual energy and vitality that flowed through her limbs. In this world of spiritual energy scarcity, the conditions for cultivating such a snow lotus heart were extremely stringent, requiring countless coincidences. It might take even two hundred years for a single flower to grow. Ji Jingyao had actually given it to her as a birthday present, even forcing her to consume it in public.

Shi Miao couldn't quite understand Ji Jingyao's thoughts. Was he just trying to prove to her that he could snatch someone from the clutches of Hades out of spite?

After taking the snow lotus heart, she found a piece of paper in the box with a line of words written on it.

[It's a birthday gift, but also an apology.]

Shi Miao was stunned for a moment, then reacted after a while. The last time she met Ji Jingyao, in order to stop him from being obsessed with her because of the dream, she preemptively said that he was treating her as a substitute.

He...seemed to have believed it, and even prepared such a generous gift.

He is clearly a master strategist feared by many in the business world, but when it comes to love... he is unexpectedly naive and gullible.

At this moment, Shi Miao felt that her conscience, which was so thin that it was almost negligible, began to ache slightly, making her feel guilty for the first time when facing Ji Jingyao.

Since she had already taken the medicine and the other party had good intentions, Shi Miao naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye. Her expression turned serious, "I owe you a favor."

Ji Jingyao, who had given the gift, looked unusually relaxed, as if he had let go of something. "I've been lucky lately and happened to find this thing. Don't worry about it."

He didn't mention the deal he made to get the Snow Lotus Heart. He did it because he didn't want to see Shi Miao die early, not to gain her gratitude.

He said it lightly, but Shi Miao knew that getting this thing was not something that could be achieved by luck alone. This guy really was arrogant.

She was thinking about custom-making a spiritual weapon for Ji Jingyao. His soul… that was because other masters of metaphysics couldn't see the essence of souls like she could, otherwise they would be filled with envy. Even though the Ji family's power was terrifying, there were still those who couldn't break through and took the risk.

She had almost finished refining the materials she had obtained through her recent fishing expedition, and she needed to find another opportunity to fish for law enforcement. It was just that so many masters of metaphysics had been tricked by her that they now knew she was not to be trifled with, and fewer people were falling for her tricks. For example, Shi Miao hadn't had any uninvited guests at home in the past three months...

Or why not look further ahead and try to cheat people abroad?

The Wen family looked at Ji Jingyao with an unprecedented friendliness. Good man, I didn't expect him to be such a good man!

The gifts prepared by other guests were actually quite good, but they were instantly overshadowed by Ji Jingyao.

The gift Ji Rongzhen gave Shi Miao was jewelry she designed herself. Although it was not as good as those of big designers and was still very immature, it looked quite creative.

Wen Yanshan liked it very much after seeing it, and said directly, "Next time on my birthday, please give me a piece of jewelry that I designed myself."

Ji Rongzhen was flattered, "You like my jewelry?"

Wen Yanshan nodded.

Wen Yuening and Wen Yuehan came back from out of town for Shi Miao's birthday, and they both said, "I really want it too."

After receiving so many cookie-cutter gifts, this kind of uniquely designed jewelry is quite nice. Ji Rongzhen is talented in this area, but she hasn't received professional training. Her color combination is quite bold, and the combination is eye-catching and bright.

After presenting the gift, Ji Jingyao walked to the French window, his glass in hand, and appeared lost in thought. Seeing his solemn expression, others, trying to get closer, thought he was contemplating some company decision and stopped. Ji Jingyao simply didn't want to chat with strangers and was just clearing his mind.

News in this circle has always been circulating very fast.

That night, the news that Ji Jingyao showed up at the Wen family and presented Shi Miao with a gift, the Snow Lotus Heart, spread quickly in the wealthy circle at lightning speed.

The Zhou family's mansion was decorated in an exceptionally sparkling way at this time, like a palace.
