Chapter 191: Chapter 191: An Unprecedented Surprise

Ji Yemo’s voice was cold and indifferent, devoid of any trace of emotion, "The Ning Family has been declining over the years. They recently took on a major international project, a chance to turn their fortunes around, but they need a great deal of capital."

Ji Yebai’s voice was somewhat hoarse, "The Ji Family can provide that too!"

How could he make such arbitrary decisions about Xixi’s life?

If it hadn’t been for Ji Yemo’s phone call, he might have always thought that the engagement was called off at Xixi’s initiative!

"The Ji Family can indeed provide, but that doesn’t necessarily require a marriage between you two." Ji Yemo seemed to sneer, "Even if the two of you call off the engagement, father would still help the Ning Family with the support of the Yan Family..."

Ji Yemo stopped there without going into further detail. Yet, Ji Yebai’s expression turned even more sullen.

What exactly did Ning Jingshen think of Ning Xixi? Was she a daughter? Or just a tool?

Killing two birds with one stone, he was really using his wits to the fullest extent!

Taking advantage of both the Ji and Yan Families, such grand ambitions!

"Brother, thank you for this."

"I don’t want others wagging their fingers and meddling in your affairs." Ji Yemo’s voice was fierce, "You, Ji Yebai, are my brother Ji Yemo, and no one else has the right to do that!"

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yebai rubbed his temples, feeling quite a headache.

For the first time, he called Xiao Xichen, "How do you woo a woman?"

Xiao Xichen laughed, "Brother Ji, you’ve finally come to your senses! Not an easy feat!"

"Cut the crap."

"Cough cough..." Xiao Xichen covered his mouth with a fist and coughed twice, "Let me tell you, girls like..."

BLABLA, he and Ji Yebai talked for over half an hour. Ji Yebai nodded in understanding, "I’ve got it."

He was going to prepare an unprecedented surprise for Ning Xixi!

...

Feeling her secret being poked at, Ning Xixi let out a wail and climbed onto Cheng Youran’s bed, covering herself with the blanket, "I’m going to sleep!"

"You just like Ji Yebai, why won’t you admit it!" Cheng Youran couldn’t understand.

"I’m not listening, I can’t hear anything!"

Looking at her childishly tantrum-like behavior, Cheng Youran was exasperated.

Qiao Nancheng stood up, "I, I’m going now..."

After all, it was a girl’s boudoir, and it wasn’t proper for him, a man, to stay long.

Cheng Youran said carelessly, "Okay, be safe!"

Qiao Nancheng stepped out of the Cheng house, gazing into the vast night, his Adam’s apple slid up and down as he clenched his fists.

...

The following day, at school.

Ning Xixi thought of many ways to avoid Ji Yebai, but upon arriving at school, his figure was nowhere to be seen.

For several days in a row, Ji Yebai did not show up at school.

Could he still be mad at her? Ning Xixi panicked at the thought.

"Hey, did you hear? Young Master Ji was caught buying flowers for a girl!" A gossipy voice came from the back seat. Ning Xixi turned around, "What flowers?"

"Here, take a look."

The class deputy, Xun Nainai, generously showed Ning Xixi the photo on her phone. In the photo, a girl with an impressive figure and radiant face stood charmingly in front of the flower shop. Beside her stood the tall and erect Ji Yebai; at first glance, they looked quite the match...

"I heard this girl is also the school beauty of Qinghai High School! With that kind of beauty, she could rival stars in the entertainment industry!"

"I think she might be Young Master Ji’s new interest!" Xun Nainai said and glanced at Ning Xixi with a smirk, mockingly saying, "Ning classmate, as his former flame, don’t take it to heart, okay?"
