Chapter 118: Chapter 118

Jiang Moxi suddenly stiffened.

Feng Xi...

It had been four years.

For a full four years, she hadn’t heard anyone address her by that nickname.

But the person calling her that could only be from Emperor City.

Jiang Moxi turned around in astonishment and saw Jhiang Heting.

Time had treated this privileged man kindly.

Over four years, he remained as handsome and as refined as ever, his every movement exuded grace and poise, not at all looking like a man nearing fifty.

"It really is you, Feng Xi! I had just thought I recognized the wrong person."

Jhiang Heting was somewhat excited, his eyes even reddened a bit.

This kind of loss of control was somewhat uncharacteristic of the nobility he usually presented.

However, compared to Jhiang Heting’s excitement, Jiang Moxi showed nothing but the initial shock and then no other emotion.

She quickly concealed her feelings and said, "Sir, you’ve mistaken me for someone else!"

After dropping this line, Jiang Moxi turned to leave.

But Jhiang Heting stopped her, "No, I couldn’t possibly mistake you for someone else! You are Feng Xi, my most respected senior sister, your eyes can’t lie to me."

Four years had passed, and the once young girl had blossomed into a stunningly beautiful woman.

The only constant was the tenacity and clarity in those beautiful eyes.

Jhiang Heting was completely immersed in the excitement and joy of the reunion, barely holding back tears.

But the next second, he received a knock on the back of his head.

"Old man, since you recognize me, how dare you directly call me by my name?"

Jiang Moxi hit him with the usual lack of mercy.

The sentimental atmosphere was instantly shattered.

Seeing that Jiang Moxi was about to hit him again, Jhiang Heting quickly corrected himself, "Senior sister!"

With that, Jiang Moxi finally stopped her hand.

"Sister, where have you been in these four years? Old Master Feng and Feng Yu have been looking for you."

Jhiang Heting sized up Jiang Moxi; Yan City wasn’t as cold as Emperor City, so even at the start of winter, Jiang Moxi was only wearing a black hoodie and jeans with no additional adornment.

But even in attire that was simplicity at its finest, she remained a radiant beauty, like a beam of light.

Yet, such a girl had disappeared with the Feng Family’s eldest grandson, Feng Ming, for a total of four years.

Many speculated that the two of them might have encountered misfortune.

But since Feng Xi had appeared, it meant Feng Ming must also still be in this world.

Upon hearing Jhiang Heting mention these two names, Jiang Moxi’s eyes hesitated slightly.

Quickly after, she said: "Old man, if something is not your concern, don’t pry into it. You’re asking for trouble."

Jhiang Heting immediately associated this with something and did not press further.

"Let’s pretend you didn’t see me here, and even if we meet in Yan City in the future, act as if you don’t recognize me." After saying this, Jiang Moxi intended to leave.

"Will you return to Emperor City?" Jhiang Heting watched her retreating figure, asking.

"It’s possible that I’ll return, and it’s possible I won’t." Jiang Moxi’s answer was ambiguous, elusive.

Because even she did not know the real answer.

But Jhiang Heting was still not willing to lose touch with Jiang Moxi just like that.

Finally, he caught up with her, got her current contact information, and only after that, he promised not to tell anyone about seeing her in Yan City.

After exchanging contact information, Jiang Moxi headed towards Yu Dingding’s private room.

Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Yuqing had stepped outside the private room to answer a phone call, just in time to catch a glimpse of Jhiang Heting.

Jiang Yuqing recognized Jhiang Heting, as he was quite famous in the music scene, and his various encyclopedia pictures were all over the internet.

Jiang Yuqing put on a sweet, girl-next-door smile, intending to greet Jhiang Heting and establish a good rapport with him early, hoping to outshine Jiang Weiwei.

But before she could approach him, she saw Jhiang Heting talking and laughing with a girl by the restroom entrance, his demeanor unusually humble in front of the girl.

Jiang Yuqing was very curious about what kind of girl could make Jhiang Heting act like this, so she took a closer look at the girl.

However, due to the angle, Jiang Yuqing could only see the girl’s silhouette.

Yet just that silhouette was so stunning that it left Jiang Yuqing, a veteran of the entertainment industry, speechless.

Truly beautiful...

Bright with a spirited elegance, topped off with a distinct aura, she was like a fairy descending to earth.

If such a beauty were to enter the entertainment industry, all other actresses would have to step aside.

Just as Jiang Yuqing was so astounded by that breathtaking appearance that she forgot everything around her, her mother Zhao Guangmei’s voice came from behind, "Yuqing, aren’t you coming in? Master Jhiang has arrived."

Jiang Yuqing snapped back to reality, only to realize that Jhiang Heting had already disappeared; she hurried back into the private room.

And later, under Zhao Guangmei’s introduction, Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Weiwei engaged in a pleasant conversation with Jhiang Heting...

*

Two days later, Jiang Moxi received a phone call from Old Master Jiang, Jiang Tairan, informing her that the Jiang Family was having an ancestral ritual and that she must come back for it.

"Grandpa, I have classes today."

Jiang Moxi really detested going back to the old mansion.

But considering that Jiang Tairan hadn’t confronted her head-on like Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man had, she could only gently refuse.

However, Jiang Tairan said, "Moxi, I know your parents favor Weiwei and that makes you uncomfortable, but you can’t just block the phone numbers of everyone; family is still family after all. And one shouldn’t forget their roots; without ancestors, where would you be..."

Old Master Jiang rambled on for quite a while, and in the end, Jiang Moxi had no choice but to compromise and agree to attend the ancestral ceremony.

Jiang Moxi had originally planned to tutor Ling Hua in the afternoon, but now it seemed impossible, so she had to make a last-minute call.

"I won’t be able to come over and tutor you this afternoon. But you need to finish the two sets of papers I left with you; I’ll check them when I visit tomorrow."

On the other end of the phone, Ling Hua, hearing that Jiang Moxi wouldn’t be coming today, suddenly felt quite lax.

"Then I can just do them tomorrow, right?"

Jiang Moxi told her decisively, "If you don’t finish those two sets of papers today, I’ll give you a beating when I come over tomorrow."

"No way, that’s physical punishment, it’s illegal!" Ling Hua was dumbfounded, having never imagined that not doing papers could lead to a beating.

"I’ll just deny it after I hit you, then it won’t be considered physical punishment," Jiang Moxi said.

"Jiang Moxi, how can you be so unreasonable..." Ling Hua grumbled, but ultimately promised, "I’ll finish the papers, just don’t hit me!"

With the tutoring issue perfectly resolved, Jiang Moxi set off for Jiang’s Old Mansion.

However, when she arrived at the entrance of Jiang’s Old Mansion, Aunt Yao asked her in astonishment, "Who are you looking for?"

Only then did Jiang Moxi remember that people here hadn’t seen her without makeup.

She hesitated whether to apply a plain makeup before showing up when Li Tinglu arrived on her skateboard.

"Sister Moxi?" Li Tinglu had seen Jiang Moxi’s bare face the other day and had since been longing to see it again, as such pure natural beauties were really rare these days.

Unexpectedly, heavens had heard her prayers, allowing Jiang Moxi to show up at the doorstep of Jiang’s Old Mansion without any disguise.

But with Li Tinglu’s gasp of amazement, Aunt Yao, looking at the vivacious appearance of Jiang Moxi, was also left utterly perplexed.

So the Jiang Moxi who was both ugly and graceless, was actually this beautiful without makeup?

Li Tinglu had already noticed Aunt Yao’s terrible attitude towards Jiang Moxi last time, so this time she didn’t even bother to greet Aunt Yao, simply barging past her and taking Jiang Moxi by the arm into the mansion.

Jiang Yuqing had arrived early and was taking selfies in the front yard; hearing Li Tinglu and Jiang Moxi’s laughter, she glanced over.

But with that one look, Jiang Yuqing’s mouth hung open in shock.

"This, isn’t this the girl who got along well with Jhiang Heting?"
