Chapter 653 Forgot to lock the door

The front door to the Ji Mansion opens, but unlike usual times, it wasn't Housekeeper Hu. The person who had opened the door was a young maid. When she saw the person at the door, her eyes tremble but her expression quickly change into a frown.

"Second Young Miss, why are you here?"

Ji Chu Hua's blood shot up to her head when she heard how the maid addressed her. Before, she was always addressed as the Young Miss, but ever since Yue Ling's identity was revealed, she now the second. If anything, she should be the First Young Miss since she is older.

However, staring at the young maid, she came to realize that she has never seen this girl before.

With this in mind, she can conclude that this maid is new and smiles politely.

"You must be new here. I came to visit my grandfather. Is he home?"

The young maid was flabbergasted at Ji Chu Hua's sudden change of attitude. One second ago, she was on the verge going ballistic, yet, now, she was like a pure and innocent woman with such a big heart.

She quickly brush the thoughts aside and lower her head in polite bow.

"General Ji is not home at the moment. If you like, when he returns, I will inform him of your visit."

Hearing this, Ji Chu Hua clench her fist on her handbag. Her nails dug into her skin, but she force out a delicate smile. However, her eyes were ominous like she wanted to stab the maid to death.

"I only stopped by to give my grandfather a gift."

She raise her hand and takes out a small wrapped box. Her smile widens, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"Let me put this in his study room. I'll be quick."

The young maid was hesitant, but seeing the gift, she could only nod her head slowly and open the door more.

She is new and has heard the other employees say to never let Ji Chu Hua inside the house when General Ji or Ji Jingxu isn't home. However, wouldn't she get in trouble if she doesn't let the woman drop off a gift that is specifically for the old man?

After all, its only a gift. What harm will it do.

Closing the red umbrella in her hand, Ji Chu Hua shoves into the maid's hand and strides toward the stairs. She didn't even care to change out of her wet heels and makes her way up the stairs to the second floor.

Watching her from behind, the young maid was at a loss for all words. She closes the front door and quickly takes her phone out from inside her pocket.

She thought Ji Chu Hua was a woman with well behave manners, but seeing the woman now, she knows that those rumors are all lies.

Looking down at her phone, she instantly sends a message to inform Housekeeper Hu. The old man had gone out to buy some grocery, so its best to alert him in advance.

Ji Chu Hua made her way to the second floor and doesn't stop. She strides in the direction of Grandfather Ji's study room, but her eyes did not forget to look around the entire interior of the huge house.

A malicious sneer curls on her lip as she thought to herself.

Once she becomes the Chairman at Ji Corps, she's going to drive away Grandfather Ji for always looking down on her and her father. Next, she will get rid of Ji Jingxu and remove him from the Ji family registry, then the useless soldiers freeloading behind the house and the servants.

She would keep them as they have some use, but they are loyal to Grandfather Ji. With such loyalty like that, she has no need for them.

Coming to a stop in front the door leading into the old man's study room, she doesn't hesitate and reach for the door handle.

Her brows arch up and she scoffs a sinister chuckle.

"The old man must be getting old. He even forgot to lock the door."

She turns the doorknob and opens the door. Taking a step forward, she enters the room. However, seeing how simple and boring the room was, she frowns in displeasure.

"Seems like I'll need to make some arrangements in here when I become the new owner."

Without closing the door, she walks over to the desk and set her handbag down. She doesn't do what she had told the maid and walks around the desk to sit down on the chair that belongs to Grandfather Ji.

She made it seem like she was the soul owner for the entire place.

The sneer on her face curls up more, but when she saw the neat rows of photos on the desk, her sneer turned into one of disgust.

She place her forearms on the desk and leans forward to take a closer look.

There was not a single photo of her or her father. Nor was a single person in any of the photos from her side of the Ji family.

Her eyes soon land on the photo of Yue Ling and she scoff in annoyance. She is known for her beauty in Imperial, but whenever she sees Yue Ling, she can't help but feel jealous and want to disfigure the woman's face.

"Slut."

She curse as a thought quickly came to her and she raise her right hand. Stretching it out to the photo of Yue Ling, she gestures her hand into a gun.

"On second thoughts, I won't start with the old man, but with you."

She sounds a faint bang like she had shot Yue Ling.

"Then I will take everything that is yours, including your man."

Lowering her hand, she leans back on the chair with a small push to cross her legs on top of the desk.

Her eyes scans around the room carefully as this was her only chance.

Grandfather Ji, Ji Jingxu, Zhong Yang and Housekeeper Hu were not here to stop her, so she needed to use this time to find something that will help her attain the position at Ji Corps.

Her eyes swept across the walls of shelves then down at the desk in front of her.

Seeing nothing, she lowers her feet and decides to go through the drawers connected to the desk. She didn't even have to search for long when her eyes landed on a piece of paper.

Quickly picking it up, her eyes lit up as she reads over each word carefully.

'Imperial Military Hospital Diagnose Report'

'Patient Name: Ji Huan'

'Positive Diagnose: Cardiovascular Disease'

The more she read each line, the higher the corners of her lip curls up with a dangerous glint of light in her eyes.

"My, oh my. What do we have here?"

She leans back on the chair with the diagnose paper in her hand. She licks one corner of her lip and sounds a chuckle as she bit her lower lip.

"Grandfather Ji is indeed getting too old."
