Neither of them mentioned what had just happened, but the atmosphere in the car wasn’t dull, but rather a strange, unspoken tension hung in the air..

Occasionally, Ji Xu’an glanced at Jiang Jiang out of the corner of her eye, and all she saw was the other’s serene and soft profile. Jiang Jiang sat very properly in the car, with her legs together and her hands on her lap, even her back was straight.

Was she nervous because I am here?

Ji Xu’an was lost in thought.

In fact, Jiang Jiang was just used to sitting like this. Although she was a little sleepy at the moment, Ji Xu’an was still driving, so she couldn’t just fall asleep.

After enduring it until they reached the entrance of the nursing home, Jiang Jiang still couldn’t help but cover her mouth and secretly yawned.

Ji Xu’an straightened the steering wheel and looked back, and just happened to see two crystal tears still hanging on Jiang Jiang’s eyelashes. She paused slightly, wanting to ask something, but in the end she didn’t ask.

When getting out of the car, Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an had a small argument about whether to use crutches or a wheelchair.

Ji Xu’an believed that there was a considerable distance from the parking lot to the room where Old Madam Ji lived, and it would be too tiring for Jiang Jiang to walk there with crutches.

But Jiang Jiang felt that if the old lady saw her coming in a wheelchair, she might worry, and besides, her ankle didn’t hurt that much anymore.

In fact, this was a very small matter, but the two of them just wouldn’t give in. Jiang Jiang usually listened to Ji Xu’an very much, but at this time she stubbornly refused to back down.

In the end, Ji Xu’an compromised.

Although Jiang Jiang was disobedient this time, Ji Xu’an didn’t feel any displeasure in her heart, only helplessness and softheartedness.

She was only making her sit in a wheelchair because she felt sorry for Jiang Jiang, but Jiang Jiang refused to listen to her because she was worried about Old Madam Ji.

What else could Ji Xu’an say?

At this time, the shrewd President Ji had forgotten that she could completely push Jiang Jiang to the door of the room in a wheelchair, and then let her walk in.

But Ji Xu’an didn’t remember this at all at the time, because Jiang Jiang was pulling on her sleeve, and said pitifully, “Sister can support me like yesterday, so I won’t be afraid of falling.”

Ji Xu’an agreed without hesitation. It wasn’t until the two had walked a distance that Ji Xu’an remembered that there was a better solution.

She looked at Jiang Jiang’s small face, which was tense because of concentration, and was speechless for a while.

Is it because I’m too tired recently?

Why am I doing things I don’t even understand lately?

Ji Xu’an suddenly realized that she seemed to have become a little strange since Jiang Jiang was injured.

She seemed to be a little too impulsive, and always lost her mind in front of Jiang Jiang. It was like this in the morning, and it was like this now.

Ji Xu’an reflected on her actions, and turned her gaze away from Jiang Jiang’s face.

After she stopped looking at herself, Jiang Jiang glanced at Ji Xu’an out of the corner of her eye.

After the test just now, Jiang Jiang confirmed that Ji Xu’an’s attitude towards her was really different.

When she showed a pitiful look, Ji Xu’an would be even more unable to refuse her request.

This should be considered a sign that Ji Xu’an was gradually softening.

If it were someone Ji Xu’an didn’t care about, their misery wouldn’t concern her in the slightest.

Jiang Jiang didn’t know if this was the influence of what happened in the morning, but it must be related to that matter.

Ji Xu’an was too proud, and she had an instinctive trust in herself, so when she found out that she had actually done something wrong, the disbelief and guilt in her heart would prompt her to make up for the person she had hurt many times over.

What Jiang Jiang had to do was to prolong this process.

She didn’t deliberately pretend to be strong in front of Ji Xu’an, and stopped to rest when she was tired from walking. Because she was using all her strength, Jiang Jiang’s nose even broke out in fine beads of sweat.

Ji Xu’an put her arm around Jiang Jiang’s body, and sensed that the shoulders under her hand were trembling slightly. After thinking about it, she simply said softly to Jiang Jiang, “Why don’t I carry you over there?”

Jiang Jiang was stunned, and a gorgeous blush suddenly burned on her cheeks, “No, no need, Sister.”

Her face turned red, and even the tips of her ears were red, “I’m sorry, I’m walking too slowly, and I’ve made Sister stop and wait for me.”

“It’s not a burden.” Ji Xu’an found a reason for her words just now, “Grandma may already be waiting anxiously, let’s go up earlier.”

Jiang Jiang still refused, “I’m too heavy, it will tire Sister.”

Now she didn’t even dare to meet Ji Xu’an’s eyes, and that face was like a ripe peach on a branch, with a tender blush.

After Jiang Jiang finished speaking, she was about to continue walking forward with her crutches. She was too anxious, and her injured left foot accidentally bumped on the ground. Jiang Jiang screamed, and almost fell to her knees.

Fortunately Ji Xu’an reacted quickly enough, and held her waist to steady her, so that Jiang Jiang didn’t fall to the ground.

Jiang Jiang’s tears came out from the pain. Almost instantly, two pools of hot tears gathered in her almond eyes, swirling heavily in her eyes.

Ji Xu’an was also startled, “Did you bump your foot?”

She didn’t even thought about Old Madam Ji, and was about to take Jiang Jiang out while holding her.

Jiang Jiang quickly grabbed her, “It’s okay, Sister, I just didn’t stand firm, it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

“Shouldn’t?” Ji Xu’an felt like she was facing a disobedient child, “Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup.”

“It’s really not necessary, I can feel that there’s no problem, it doesn’t hurt anymore now.” Jiang Jiang tried to hold back her tears.

She lowered her head guiltily and said softly, “Grandma is still waiting upstairs, we can’t let her wait anxiously.”

Ji Xu’an almost chuckled, “Now you remember Grandma’s waiting?”

Using my words against me,… Xie Jiang Jiang was really something.

But Ji Xu’an found herself at a loss with her.

“Can you let me carry you up now?” She asked Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang didn’t dare to refuse anymore, “Thank you for your hard work, Sister.”

She lay on Ji Xu’an’s back, feeling the other person’s hand hooking her thighs. Jiang Jiang’s body tensed for a moment, and then slowly relaxed. She put her arms around Ji Xu’an’s neck and leaned softly on Ji Xu’an’s body.

Ji Xu’an felt that Jiang Jiang was silly, and a thought couldn’t help but float into her mind: If it weren’t for my care, Jiang Jiang would probably ruin herself.

It seemed that she still had to spend more effort on Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang was like a frail, clinging vine, so weak a gust of wind could break her. She could only rely on Ji Xu’an, letting Ji Xu’an shield her from the storm.

And Ji Xu’an didn’t dislike this feeling of taking care of her.

Jiang Jiang then enjoyed Ji Xu’an’s gentleness with peace of mind. Of course, she wasn’t idle either. While lying on Ji Xu’an’s back, Jiang Jiang kept caring about her.

“Sister, am I very heavy?”

Her arms and legs were so thin, and they didn’t weigh much in total. Ji Xu’an had been working out for many years, and it was easy for her to carry Jiang Jiang, and she didn’t even pant.

“You’re not heavy.”

Ji Xu’an answered her question first, and then said, “You’re still too thin. You should eat more, exercise more, and strengthen your resistance.”

Jiang Jiang “oh-ed”, and she tilted her head to look at Ji Xu’an’s profile, her voice soft, “Does Sister often work out?”

Even if she couldn’t see Jiang Jiang’s expression, Ji Xu’an could hear the yearning and admiration in her tone.

“Yeah.” Ji Xu’an’s reaction was very flat, and there wasn’t much pride in her words. “I’ll prepare some fitness equipment in the apartment. You can use it when you have nothing to do.”

Jiang Jiang agreed readily, “Okay, I’ll listen to Sister.”

“I think Sister is amazing.” Jiang Jiang praised one sentence after another, “Sister is already working so hard, but she still sets strict standards for herself. If I were as busy as Sister, I definitely wouldn’t be able to spend my time on these little things.”

“No matter how busy you are, there’s always time to stop. As long as you want to do something, you have to try your best to complete it, no matter how difficult it is,” Ji Xu’an said.

“I’m just an ordinary person, and there will be times when I’m powerless. It’s just that I’m a few years older than you, and I’ve experienced more things than you.”

Hearing her refute herself, Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but hum softly, and the hands hugging Ji Xu’an’s neck also tightened a little. Her voice was muffled, “But in my heart, Sister is the most amazing.”

“Things that are very difficult for me, Sister can always solve easily.”

Jiang Jiang counted Ji Xu’an’s advantages, “And Sister is also very good to me.”

She paused, and leaned her cheek on Ji Xu’an’s shoulder with a longing posture, saying very softly, “It’s been a long time since someone carried me like this.”

Ji Xu’an was suddenly a little dazed.

She didn’t answer for a long time, and Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but reach out and wave in front of her eyes, “Sister, why aren’t you talking?”

Ji Xu’an came back to her senses, “It’s nothing.”

Her tone wasn’t right, but Jiang Jiang didn’t ask any more questions. She seemed not to have noticed Ji Xu’an’s abnormality, and asked Ji Xu’an curiously, “Sister, have you ever carried Xiao Yuan like this?”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Jiang laughed, “Xiao Yuan must have had the same thoughts as me at the time.”

Ji Xu’an’s mood was complicated, “What thoughts?”

Jiang Jiang shook her calf, “It’s just… it’s so good to have a sister!”

A few ordinary words, but like a gentle spring breeze, slowly brushed over Ji Xu’an’s heart.

It was a subtle feeling, hard to put into words.

Ji Xu’an only knew that her mood wasn’t bad at the moment.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, “Is that so?”

Jiang Jiang deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was whispering, “If Sister doesn’t believe it, I’ll secretly ask Xiao Yuan next time.”

Ji Xu’an didn’t think she was childish, but instead followed her words and said, “Okay.”

Until they reached the door of the room, Ji Xu’an still had a faint smile on her face. She put Jiang Jiang down and then helped the other person walk in.

Old Madam Ji had been eagerly awaiting their arrival, her mind sharp even in her old age. She’d suspected something was amiss even when Ji Xu’an had been making excuses to appease her.

It’s just that Ji Xu’an hid it too well, and the other people around her were unwilling to reveal any information. The old lady was just guessing, and she still didn’t know about Jiang Jiang falling down the building.

Seeing Jiang Jiang being helped in by Ji Xu’an, the old lady immediately became anxious, “What’s going on? You’re just thinking that I’m old, and you’re all hiding it from me, right!”

She wanted to come over to help Jiang Jiang, but how could Jiang Jiang trouble her to take care of herself? She quickly waved her hand, “Grandma, don’t worry, I’m fine. Sister didn’t mean to hide it from you, this is all my idea, I’ll explain it to you later.”

Ji Xu’an was silent on the side, and the old lady glared at her. After Jiang Jiang sat down, Old Madam Ji immediately grabbed Jiang Jiang’s hand, her gaze constantly scanning Jiang Jiang’s body.

Ji Xu’an stood there like an outsider, and the old lady didn’t even glance at her.

She wasn’t annoyed, and signaled Xiao Chen to go out first, and then silently poured two cups of warm water for the two of them.

Before they could say two sentences, Ji Xu’an’s phone suddenly rang. She nodded to the old lady and Jiang Jiang, and then walked out with her phone.

At first, Jiang Jiang could still vaguely hear her talking, it seemed that Secretary Zhao had called.

As Ji Xu’an walked farther away, Jiang Jiang could no longer hear clearly.

Old Madam Ji squeezed Jiang Jiang’s hand tightly. She hadn’t missed the signs between Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an, but those could wait. Right now, she only wanted to know what had happened to Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang carefully considered her words.

“It’s like this…”

…

Ji Xu’an’s phone call didn’t last long. There were some things that she had to go back to the company to deal with, so Secretary Zhao only mentioned a few words simply. The main purpose of his call was to remind his boss that it was time to go back to work!

Your dear secretary is working overtime every day and is exhausted. As the boss, how can you only care about being in love?

“A few days ago, you asked me to find someone to follow Miss Zheng. Our people have indeed made new discoveries in the past two days, President Ji. I have put the detailed information on your desk.”

So please come back to the company quickly!

Across the screen, Ji Xu’an could feel Secretary Zhao’s urgency.

She didn’t move, “Okay, I know.”

“By the way, the hospital also called, saying that Liang Junsheng’s mental state is very bad, and he seems to have faint signs of self-harm.”

Secretary Zhao’s tone held a hint of disdain. He’d assumed Liang Junsheng, capable of such reckless actions, would have incredible resilience. He hadn’t expected him to crack after just a few days.

“Is he still alive?” Ji Xu’an asked in a faint tone.

“Uh, still alive.” Zhao Zitang immediately understood what she meant.

As long as the person wasn’t dead, don’t bother her with these trivial matters, right?

Ji Xu’an didn’t say much, and finally replied, “At the latest tomorrow, I will go to the company.”

Zhao Zitang was angry but dared not speak, “Okay, President Ji.”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xu’an guessed that Jiang Jiang and the old lady probably hadn’t finished talking yet. She didn’t rush back, and then made a few more calls. After estimating that it was about time, she turned around and walked back.

…

At this time, Jiang Jiang had basically explained everything that had happened recently.

Old Madam Ji listened in fear and trepidation. She wanted to blame Jiang Jiang for hiding such a big thing from her, but the little girl’s eyes were also red, and she had suffered a great grievance, so the old lady couldn’t say harsh words to her.

Just as Ji Xu’an came back, she became Old Madam Ji’s punching bag, and was pointed at and scolded by the old lady as soon as she entered the door.

“I’m just old, I’m not dead yet. You don’t tell me about such a big thing, do you still treat me as your grandma?”

Ji Xu’an frowned slightly, “Grandma, don’t say such unlucky things.”

“You still know it’s unlucky, why don’t you be the grandma, I think you’re quite capable.” Old Madam Ji was really good at being sarcastic.

She had a natural authority over Ji Xu’an. President Ji, so imposing elsewhere, could only lower her head and meekly accept her grandmother’s scolding.

Jiang Jiang thought it was quite funny. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the past. She heard that Princess Huaining also listened to the Empress Dowager very much, and even the Crown Prince was as well-behaved as a quail in front of the Empress Dowager.

So at that time, although Jiang Jiang’s father didn’t love her and her mother didn’t care for her, she was very confident. As long as her identity was valuable enough, and she had the Empress Dowager as her backer, even the Crown Prince wouldn’t dare to easily mistreat her.

Even in the story that Xie Xiao dreamed of, the Crown Prince only dared to openly favor his concubine and destroy his wife after the Empress Dowager passed away and he ascended the throne as Emperor.

With Grandma’s support, even Ji Xu’an couldn’t easily dictate Jiang Jiang’s departure or stay.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang hugged Old Madam Ji’s arm and acted coquettishly, “Grandma, don’t scold Sister, just scold me instead.”

Listening to Jiang Jiang’s protection of her, Ji Xu’an thought in her heart that it wouldn’t hurt her to be scolded by Grandma, but if Jiang Jiang was scolded by Grandma, she would probably be sad for a while.

“Jiang Jiang, don’t protect her.”Old Madam Ji deliberately snorted coldly, “You’re so kind to her, but some people don’t appreciate it.”

Jiang Jiang pursed her lips, “It’s not like that, Sister also cares about me very much. Just now… just now after getting out of the car, Sister carried me over here!”

It was clearly not a big deal, but from Jiang Jiang’s mouth, it was as if Ji Xu’an had done something amazing.

Ji Xu’an thought that besides fear, Jiang Jiang seemed to have a blind worship of her.

She remained silent, letting Old Madam Ji scold her, but her gaze kept drifting to Jiang Jiang, a subtle, unreadable light flickering in her dark eyes.

…

Jiang Jiang accompanied Old Madam Ji for more than an hour, and Ji Xu’an received another call. This time she had to leave as she had to sign a document.

“You stay here with Grandma, I’ll come back to pick you up later, okay?” Ji Xu’an’s tone wasn’t strong, but more like she was discussing.

Of course Jiang Jiang wouldn’t refuse.

It’s just that although she agreed, her gaze had been following Ji Xu’an’s figure, and the reluctance that flashed in her eyes was seen by Old Madam Ji.

Old Madam Ji rolled her eyes, “What’s so good about accompanying me? Besides, I’m a little tired, and I want to take a nap later. Take Jiang Jiang with you.”

Ji Xu’an’s tone was hesitant, “I’m going to the company, it might be boring.”

“What’s wrong with that, let Jiang Jiang adapt to it first.” Old Madam Ji waved her hand indifferently.

Listening to her meaning, it seemed that she was planning to let Jiang Jiang go to Linghai Group to work later.

Jiang Jiang didn’t speak. She sat obediently on the sofa, as if she would accept whatever Ji Xu’an said.

Ji Xu’an gave in, and she asked Jiang Jiang, “Are you willing to go to the company with me?”

Jiang Jiang blinked, “I’ll listen to Sister.”

Ji Xu’an had no choice but to take her along.

Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to let Jiang Jiang go with her. Ji Xu’an was just worried that Jiang Jiang would feel bored. After all, Ji Xu’an was very clear about her personality. Once she got busy with work, she wouldn’t be able to take care of Jiang Jiang.

Ji Xu’an didn’t call Secretary Zhao in advance, so when everyone saw the boss pushing a girl in a wheelchair out of the elevator, their expressions were shocked and incredulous for a moment.

Ji Xu’an went directly from the underground parking lot to the floor where the office was located, and didn’t meet many people in the middle, but this news still spread throughout the company’s internal group chat in a very short time.

At first, it was still very normal, but later it turned into “President Ji came to the company in a wheelchair,” and some people even thoughtfully added details.

“It is said that President Ji used a self-inflicted injury to pursue his wife, pretending that she had a car accident, so she came in a wheelchair!”

“As expected of President Ji!”

Among all the employees, probably only Secretary Zhao knew Jiang Jiang’s identity.

“Miss Xie.” Secretary Zhao smiled at her, “What would you like to eat?”

Before Jiang Jiang could speak, Ji Xu’an interjected, “Buy her a cup of milk tea with less sugar, and buy some fruit, grapes and oranges are fine.”

Secretary Zhao saw that Jiang Jiang didn’t refute, so he nodded, “Okay, please wait a moment.”

Tsk tsk, the boss’s desire for control is too strong, even what people eat has to be controlled, but Miss Xie is also really obedient, they are really a perfect match.

As soon as Secretary Zhao walked out of the office, he was surrounded by a group of people.

“Secretary Zhao, who is that girl? Is she the boss’s sister?”

“That’s not right, I’ve seen the boss’s sister, she doesn’t look like that.”

“Is she the boss’s girlfriend?”

“But I just seemed to hear that girl call President Ji sister.”

“It may also be some kind of game, hehe.”

Secretary Zhao hadn’t said a word yet, and the others had already made up their minds. He smiled and patted the head of the person in front of him, “Alright, stop gossiping, have you finished your work?”

“Working without slacking off is soulless!” Someone shouted.

“Just tell us, is she the boss’s girlfriend?”

Secretary Zhao thought, Ji Xu’an didn’t ask me to keep it a secret, so that means I can say it, right?

“Yes,” he confirmed everyone’s guess.

But this didn’t quiet down the people who got the gossip, but made everyone even more restless.

“Holy crap, really? When did President Ji start dating?”

“That girl looks so young, how did they meet?”

“Secretary Zhao, you definitely know, don’t pretend!”

Secretary Zhao spread his hands, “I can only say that it was arranged by President Ji’s family.”

“Oh~” Everyone understood.

An arranged marriage.

Some of the people who got the gossip were satisfied, but of course not everyone could accept the fact that Ji Xu’an was dating.

Ji Xu’an’s status and capabilities ensured a constant stream of suitors. Even if Ji Xu’an refused very decisively every time, she couldn’t completely avoid contact with outsiders. There would always be someone trying a slow, insidious approach, approaching her without leaving a trace.

Wen Xueyun was like this, and so was Fu Xiaoyin.

She was the youngest daughter of the Fu family, and there were two older sisters above her.

The Fu family and the Ji family were both old-fashioned wealthy businessmen with a lot of background in S City, the kind that had been rich for five generations. Fu Xiaoyin herself returned to S City after graduating from a foreign university.

Logically speaking, she should go to her own company to help, but in order to pursue Ji Xu’an, Fu Xiaoyin still chose to work at Linghai Group. She had been at Linghai for almost five years, and had now risen to the position of product manager.

Ji Xu’an admired Fu Xiaoyin’s skills, but held no deeper feelings and rarely contacted her privately.

Perhaps Ji Xu’an’s distant, rejecting demeanor had given Fu Xiaoyin a false sense of hope. While she hadn’t succeeded, neither had anyone else.

Fu Xiaoyin believed that one day Ji Xu’an would be able to see her.

Moreover, even if Ji Xu’an wanted to choose a marriage partner, I should be the most suitable candidate, right?

With this thought in mind, Fu Xiaoyin had never given up. Until today, she suddenly learned from others that Ji Xu’an seemed to have a girlfriend.

Fu Xiaoyin felt as if she had been struck by a blow to the head, and it took her a long time to recover.

She wouldn’t hate Jiang Jiang or Ji Xu’an because of this. After all, Ji Xu’an had never given her a chance. Fu Xiaoyin just suddenly felt very lost.

Years of persistence had all become empty, and this feeling of unwillingness forced her to want to see Ji Xu’an’s girlfriend.

But Jiang Jiang had been staying in Ji Xu’an’s office, and Fu Xiaoyin hadn’t found a chance to approach her.

She only learned from others that Ji Xu’an’s girlfriend was not old, and her appearance was very well-behaved and bright, and it seemed that it was also arranged by her family.

Arranged marriage?

Tch.

Fu Xiaoyin felt disdainful. Would Ji Xu’an compromise because of the pressure from her family?

I don’t believe it.

The identity of Ji Xu’an’s girlfriend was probably very important.

Fu Xiaoyin’s desire to see Jiang Jiang became more urgent.

What was Jiang Jiang doing?

She was still drinking milk tea and playing games in Ji Xu’an’s office at this time.

Ji Xu’an was at a meeting and wouldn’t be back for at least an hour. With only Jiang Jiang in the office, she relaxed completely on the sofa like a salted fish, so happy that she almost forgot where she was.

The milk tea with less sugar was also so delicious. Jiang Jiang accidentally drank a little too much, and felt her tummy was swollen.

She put down the tablet and planned to find the restroom.

Ji Xu’an said that she could go out, and if there was any problem, she could call her.

Jiang Jiang asked her at the time, “Will it bring trouble to Sister? It seems that everyone doesn’t know me.”

“They’ll know eventually,” Ji Xu’an said with certainty.

Jiang Jiang asked again, “Then if others ask me, what is my relationship with Sister, how should I answer?”

Ji Xu’an glanced at her, “Whatever you want.”

Then Jiang Jiang would of course tell the truth.

Actually, after discovering Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an’s unusual relationship, no one dared to pry into the gossip except Fu Xiaoyin.

Jiang Jiang went out in a wheelchair. It was really comfortable not having to walk. She didn’t fail to notice that someone was following her, but that person didn’t seem to have any malice, so Jiang Jiang didn’t care about her.

It wasn’t until she finished going to the bathroom and was washing her hands in front of the sink that Fu Xiaoyin pretended to meet her by chance and came forward to talk to her.

“Which department are you a colleague of? I don’t seem to have seen you in the company.”

While speaking, Fu Xiaoyin stared straight at Jiang Jiang, with a fleeting amazement in her eyes.

So everyone wasn’t lying, Ji Xu’an’s girlfriend really looked so well-behaved!

Jiang Jiang shook her head, “I’m not an employee here.”

Her voice was also so nice, soft, and Fu Xiaoyin felt like she was a pervert.

She cleared her throat, reminding herself not to be confused by the love rival, “Oh, then are you someone’s family member?”

Jiang Jiang turned her head and smiled at her, almost making Fu Xiaoyin blush.

“I’m Ji Xu’an’s sister.”

Fu Xiaoyin thought that Ji Xu’an was really something, her girlfriend didn’t even admit her identity outside, could it be that she hadn’t gotten her yet?

“I’ve seen President Ji’s sister, Ji Heyuan, you shouldn’t be her, right?”

From the woman’s tone, Jiang Jiang sensed a familiarity with Ji Xu’an, similar to the feeling she got from Wen Xueyun. Was she another of Ji Xu’an’s pursuers?

“Oh, I’m not President Ji’s biological sister,” Jiang Jiang said to the point.

Fu Xiaoyin: “I see.”

Fu Xiaoyin decided to get straight to the point, “Just now I also saw in the company group that someone said that President Ji brought a little girl today, and they all said that you are President Ji’s girlfriend.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t admit it, but the abnormal blush on her face was enough to explain everything. That kind of hesitant look was almost writing “We really have something going on” on her face.

Fu Xiaoyin touched her nose unnaturally. There was a moment when she actually thought that the person in front of her looked really good when she blushed, giving her a feeling of excitement.

That shouldn’t be. I should like mature and strong women like Ji Xu’an!

This must be a scheme by the love rival!

“I knew it. President Ji looks like she’s going to be a lonely old woman for the rest of her life. How could she suddenly fall in love? So you’re her sister.” In order to defeat her love rival, Fu Xiaoyin even “cursed” the person she liked.

As a result, Jiang Jiang not only didn’t get angry, but actually nodded, “My grandma also said that sister is likely to be single for the rest of her life.”

So ruthless!

Fu Xiaoyin was shocked.

If your grandma said that, wouldn’t she be blacklisted by the Ji family?

Fu Xiaoyin couldn’t help but make a joke, “So your grandma sent you to save Ji Xu’an, right?”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiang really nodded along with her words.

Fu Xiaoyin: …

Okay, okay, I’m starting to believe arranged marriages are a real thing now.

However, the victim wasn’t Ji Xu’an, but the girl in front of her.

“That’s not possible….” Fu Xiaoyin said euphemistically, “Your grandma is lying to you?”

Jiang Jiang: “Grandma won’t lie.”

Before Fu Xiaoyin could promote the view that feudal ideology was untrustworthy to Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang asked, “How should I address this sister?”

Fu Xiaoyin immediately understood Ji Xu’an.

I didn’t want to say it, but she called me sister.

She coughed with her hand covering her lips, and said very reservedly, “My name is Fu Xiaoyin.”

Jiang Jiang blinked, “Then can I call you Sister Fu?”

Fu Xiaoyin finally couldn’t help it, and a blush climbed up her cheeks, “Whatev, whatever you want.”

Could I still argue with a girl who looked younger than me?

Moreover, if Ji Xu’an knew that her girlfriend also called me sister, wouldn’t she be driven crazy?

Fu Xiaoyin was actually looking forward to it.

At this time, Fu Xiaoyin never expected that Jiang Jiang had more than just her and Ji Xu’an as good sisters.

The two started chatting, and Fu Xiaoyin simply took Jiang Jiang to the lounge. She was defenseless against Jiang Jiang, and quickly “sold out” Ji Xu’an.

“Ji Xu’an, she’s unsmiling to everyone. I don’t seem to have seen her treat anyone special.”

Jiang Jiang asked curiously, “Didn’t Sister have someone she liked before?”

Fu Xiaoyin thought for a while, “Probably not. Actually, I’m not too sure, after all, Ji Xu’an has many pursuers, and it’s hard to guarantee that one or two of them didn’t impress her.”

Jiang Jiang ” oh-ed “meaningfully.

Fu Xiaoyin didn’t seem to realize that her words were a bit like sowing discord, “Don’t worry, after all, you’re the only one by her side now.”

Wen Xueyun had also said similar words. Jiang Jiang could clearly feel Wen Xueyun’s hostility towards her, but Fu Xiaoyin was different. Jiang Jiang even felt that she was targeting Ji Xu’an.

“I know that I’m not worthy of Sister. Sister is so excellent, and her pursuers must also be very powerful, but I can’t do anything, and I even have to be supported by Sister.” As she spoke, Jiang Jiang lowered her head self-deprecatingly.

Fu Xiaoyin clicked her tongue, “Don’t talk about worthiness or unworthiness. We’re thinking beings, not instinct-driven animals.”

We’re not breeding like animals, so what’s the point of talking about worthiness?

The words in her mind were too vulgar, and Fu Xiaoyin was afraid of scaring Jiang Jiang, so she silently swallowed them back.

“However, it is indeed the first time a girl like you appeared around Ji Xu’an .”

It wasn’t that Fu Xiaoyin thought she was useless, but that Jiang Jiang really looked very well-behaved and pure, completely different from the deep-minded Ji Xu’an.

Fu Xiaoyin slyly hinted to Jiang Jiang “The last woman who often appeared next to President Ji was Zhou Zi’an.”

Jiang Jiang secretly perked up her ears.

Fu Xiaoyin said, “Do you know Zhou Zi’an? She’s the well-known female star.”

Jiang Jiang asked a question, “But Sister doesn’t seem to like celebrities very much.”

“Who knows, it may also be love turned to hate.” Fu Xiaoyin casually replied, and then remembered that she shouldn’t have said that in front of Jiang Jiang.

As expected, Jiang Jiang showed a disappointed expression, and Fu Xiaoyin quickly comforted her, “It doesn’t matter, no matter what happened between them, at least they must have broken up now.”

It turned out that Zhou Zi’an was once the spokesperson for a product of a subsidiary of Linghai Group, and she had been the spokesperson for three consecutive years, but later the two sides canceled the cooperation without any warning.

The outside world speculated, and Zhou Zi’an had slightly revealed some of the truth in an interview, it seemed that a senior executive of Linghai Group didn’t like her.

The reason why Fu Xiaoyin knew that this senior executive was Ji Xu’an, because she had personally seen Zhou Zi’an and Ji Xu’an quarreling with each other.

Jiang Jiang listened very carefully. There weren’t many descriptions of Ji Xu’an’s experience in the story, only that she was cold to people. She didn’t expect that there were so many hidden secrets behind this.

“Ji Xu’an definitely didn’t dislike female stars before. Ji Heyuan chased stars in junior high school and high school, and Ji Xu’an never stopped her.”

“But since terminating the contract with Zhou Zi’an, Ji Xu’an has held a repulsive attitude towards celebrities.” Fu Xiaoyin gave her a knowing look.

Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. This Miss Fu’s methods were much better than Wen Xueyun’s. If I really liked Ji Xu’an, I would definitely be disgusted after hearing Fu Xiaoyin’s words.

Regardless of Fu Xiaoyin’s purpose, Jiang Jiang remembered Zhou Ziyue’s name. She must also be a very powerful person to be considered Ji Xu’an’s ex-girlfriend by Fu Xiaoyin.

Seeing her fall into deep thought, Fu Xiaoyin couldn’t help but shift her gaze guiltily.

Although it was very unethical to do this, but, Ji Xu’an, that big iceberg, didn’t look like someone who would fall in love, and this cute girl obviously deserves better.

She was eager to make a move, “Can we add a contact method?”

“I feel like I have a great connection with you.”
