Chapter 41

It was a provocation, pure and simple.

Ji Weitian looked up slightly at Ji Kaisui’s cold smile, and Ji Mofeng, whose face became grim at the comment.

Her wonderful younger sister was still trying to play off the comment as if it was an innocent mistake and comforting their dad. “Dad, don’t blame Sister for this. Jiangcheng University is such a famous school, with so many successful graduates. Chairman Qin of the Qin Technology Group is one of the best examples. With Sister’s skills, getting a random job at the school is already pretty incredible.”

She complimented Ji Weitian while suggesting she was really too ordinary, even her job at a famous university is a pathetic position.

She was saying Ji Weitian would never be presentable.

When Ji Mofeng’s face grew even more stern, Ji Kaisui continued phonily, “Dad, maybe you should give Sister a job at the family firm. Make her life easier. Don’t have people laugh at her. Maybe this way, the Chen family wouldn’t want to break the engagement.”

This was the last straw.

Ji Mofeng called everyone home today because of the engagement. It was the worst thing to say. His nerves were frayed.

Ji Mofeng stared at Ji Weitian and lowered his voice. “The Ji family lost its face because of you. How dare you come back today?”

Ji Weitian could almost laugh at the father/daughter show in front of her. Following the lead, she said, “If Dad doesn’t want to see me today, I’ll go.”

She turned to leave.

As soon she started to go, Jo Mofeng’s angry voice came. “I told you to come back, so you could apologize to the Chen family. How could you go without seeing them?”

Ji Weitian turned around, acting all innocent. “It’s little sis who’s engaged to the Chen family. If she could act cute with you, why can’t I come back home? You raised her and made her into a classy lady. If she were to fulfill the engagement, the Chen family would be overjoyed, right little sister?”

She could act too.

She has never been afraid of anyone. She wasn’t even afraid of Qin Nanyu, and she was certainly not afraid of bullies of the Ji family.

They shouldn’t assume she was easy to pick on since she was nice. They shouldn’t take it too far.

“You… Dad, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’d rather die than be with that jerk, Chen Xu!” Ji Kaisui didn’t realize Ji Weitian could turn the conversation around so easily. Worried that her dad would take her older sister’s advice, her face changed. She was about to curse out Ji Weitian.

A soft voice stopped Ji Kaisui.

“I was wondering when the house became so festive. So Weitian is back.” Su Sumei came downstairs with a fake smile on her face.

Walking next to Ji Mofeng, she grabbed his arm. “C’mon, you’re too old to fight with the kids. If Weitian doesn’t behave, just take your time. Don’t get sick over it!”

“Mom, stop helping her. Dad was so angry with Sister just now.” When Ji Kaisui saw Su Sumei, she looked more confident and spoke more forcefully.
