Chapter 292 - 287: For a cannon fodder with a mouth like hers, nothing is more unbearable than this.

Chapter 292: Chapter 287: For a cannon fodder with a mouth like hers, nothing is more unbearable than this.

Ji Weinan was completely stunned, "How... how is it you?"

Even Qiao Luhua was surprised; this was the female celebrity who had been on the variety show with her daughter, right?

She wasn’t much of a star-chaser, and the only fan club she belonged to was the one she had organized for her daughter—after all, she had given birth to her, so it was only right to show some support.

Ji Tian raised her eyebrows slightly, greeting her with a faint smile. Wen Jiangxue returned the smile, everything about her being beyond reproach. Ji Tian wouldn’t have been on guard against her if Qin Jiangsheng hadn’t reminded her; she wouldn’t have wanted to pay that much attention.

The main thing was that as long as the Ji Family hadn’t extracted themselves from the drama, she couldn’t relax.

Qiao Luhua had no objections to Wen Jiangxue’s visit, and instead inquired about their wedding date. Since she’d already spoken, she wouldn’t interfere too much with her children’s marriages; it was all up to their own preferences.

Of course, she hoped it would be sooner rather than later, after all, her son was also getting older. Wouldn’t it be nice for him to have a child for her to play with?

Ji Lingyun originally wanted to say they would get married in the spring of this year, but after glancing at Wen Jiangxue, he saw unwillingness hidden behind her smile. She often teased him for not wanting to give her a title or marry her.

But he knew, even if he said it out loud, she would be reluctant as well.

Even so, he hoped she would stay by his side for a lifetime.

Ji Lingyun smiled and said directly, "We’d like to get engaged first, and have the wedding after I’ve taken care of business at the company."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jiangxue visibly relaxed, while Qiao Luhua was a bit disappointed—looks like she’d have to wait a few more years for a grandchild.

She waved her hand dismissively, "Well, as long as you’re happy."

Aunt Wang, thrilled, had prepared over a dozen dishes to welcome the new visitors to the home.

After lunch, Ji Lingyun was summoned to the study again.

Ji Tian was outside making a small snowman.

Wen Jiangxue walked over and, seeing her squat playfully in the snow, couldn’t help but smile, "Ji Tian, do you need some help building it?"

Ji Tian turned her head, looked at her, and cheerfully agreed, "Sure."

She touched the cold snow and couldn’t help but ask, "You don’t seem surprised at all. Did you know from the start that my brother was my secret patron?"

Ji Tian shook her head, "I’m not clairvoyant. I also just recently found out. It was a bit unexpected, but also makes sense."

Wen Jiangxue laughed softly, "It wasn’t intentional to keep it from you. The main issue was your brother wouldn’t let me tell. Back then, considering my status, I didn’t dare to cling to him."

Ji Tian placed the finished snowman’s head onto its body, turned her head, and with clear eyes, looked at her, "Sister Jiangxue, do you like my brother?"

Wen Jiangxue paused for a second before responding, "I do."

Ji Tian curved her lips slightly, patted off her hands, and smiled at her, "That’s good then. My brother may not be eloquent, but he’s a good person. He’s responsible and family-oriented. A woman he brings home is definitely someone he’s considering for life. I’ll let you in on a secret—my brother never even dated before."

Wen Jiangxue swallowed hard and managed a smile, "Really? I wasn’t aware of his past life."

Ji Tian still had a sweet smile, "Of course. He has always been scandal-free, oh, except for Eldest Miss Fu. He blacklisted her because he didn’t want trouble, then went away on a business trip, as if avoiding some ferocious beast, haha. If you hadn’t come along, my mom would have wondered if he had some kind of hidden illness or something wrong with his sexual orientation."

Speaking of Fu Wanxue, the person who had repeatedly provoked her only to be mercilessly driven away by Ji Lingyun, Ji Tian found it somewhat amusing, but also a bit sad.

When she came back to her senses, Ji Lingyun was at her side, asking in a detached tone, "Why are you outside?"

Wen Jiangxue rubbed her somewhat numb legs from squatting and pointed to the snowman, "I was just watching Ji Tian make a snowman."

"Let’s go, I’ll take you home."

His way of speaking was always distant, cold, and very matter-of-fact.

It seemed as if it was just task completion.

Wen Jiangxue felt somewhat perplexed.

Did Ji Lingyun really like her?

He clearly said... that it was only because his family was pressuring him, that he sought her out to provide a temporary shield.

She kept all her little thoughts and feelings tightly hidden in her heart, known only to herself.

Ji Tian stood by the second-floor floor-to-ceiling window, watching their figures one after the other, sighing deeply with sorrow.

Although she couldn’t understand what kind of relationship this was... it really annoyed her. Do they not have mouths? Are they all mute?!

Don’t they know to be honest with each other?

Ji Tian felt frustrated.

For someone like her who was never at a loss for words, she couldn’t stand seeing such behavior.

So, the next day, which was Sunday, she personally visited her big brother’s company, under the noble guise of inspecting her future workplace.

She had been entitled to five percent of Ji Family’s stocks since birth, but the dividends were deposited into an account she couldn’t access until she turned 22.

It was frustrating, but Ji Tian had no intention of withdrawing the money.

For her visit, Ji Lingyun was puzzled but also indifferent.

He didn’t have time to entertain his sister.

Secretary Tian came in with files: "Mr. Ji, the conference room is ready. We’re just waiting for you to come over."

Ji Lingyun looked at his sister, still in his office, and asked, "Are you going to stay here?"

Ji Tian nodded, "Of course. It’s freezing outside; I certainly don’t want to go out."

And she had other things to do.

Ji Lingyun said no more.

After he left, Ji Tian stood up and looked around. No one dared to enter his office besides him, so there was no surveillance inside, but there was outside, capturing everyone who entered and even the duration of their stay.

Ji Tian began to meticulously search the office and couldn’t help but laugh when she discovered a pinhole camera hidden in a potted plant.

Who else would go bankrupt if not the Ji Family?

She continued searching and found a total of three pinhole cameras. When she reached his desk, she even found a bug inside the wall.

She lounged back lazily in the leather chair, comfortably crossing her legs and playing with the bug in her hand.

After waiting for almost two hours, Ji Lingyun finally returned.

"Little sister, let’s go have lunch," he said upon entering and seeing Ji Tian in his chair, his brow slightly furrowed. "What are you doing sitting there?"

Ji Tian looked at him with a half-smile, "Nothing much, I was just bored and decided to do a bit of cleaning for you. Look what treasure I found."

She pushed the pinhole cameras and the bug into his line of sight, smiling at him, "I had no idea that big brother was under surveillance every day at work."

Ji Lingyun’s expression turned stone-cold. He approached, looked down at the devices, took a deep breath, and threw them all into the trash can. Calmly, he said, "I’ll handle this matter. Let’s go eat."

Ji Tian snorted, "I fear that big brother has known about these things for a long time. Were you testing to see if she would go soft on you? That’s why you left them be, because you felt you had everything under control, knowingly turning a blind eye."
