Chapter 44 - Missing You for One Day Feels like Three Autumns

“Shhh, do you want your dad to hear you?” Su Sumei admonished her daughter as she moved them to the yard. After making sure there was no one around, she tapped a finger at her daughter’s forehead, “Haven’t I told you to think more? When there’s a problem, use your brain. If your IQ is this low, you’d be no match for that little bitch.”

“Mom, stop it, don’t compare me to Ji Weitian. I’m a real socialite.” Ji Kaisui was still bitter over the party.

Everyone has heard of the broken Ji-Chen engagement by now.

Everyone who knew Ji Kaisui, after realizing she wasn’t being set-up with Chen Xu, asked her when did the Ji family get another daughter, and who this woman was.

It took a while for Ji Kaisui to control the news. Now that Su Sumei is throwing Ji Weitian a party, it’d be a slap on her face.

Su Sumei chuckled coldly, “You really aren’t smart. Did you really think no one would know Ji Weitian was invited back home without this party?”

“…”

“To be honest, even if you and I can keep it a secret, what about your dad? After all, Ji Weitian is his biological daughter. Since she’s acknowledged as family, your dad would plan for her, and your dad doing the work himself would only mean more attention for Ji Weitian, don’t you get it?”

Su Sumei glanced at the shocked Ji Kaisui, wishing she could crack open her brain to see the thoughts inside.

“Mom, you mean that if we did it, at least we could control her?” Ji Kaisui seemed to have understood, then she stomped her feet. “But Mom, you can’t really introduce her to those rich bachelors, if Ji Weitian was there, who’d pay attention to me?”

“Then it’s up to you. With Ji Weitian’s past, and her daughter around, what are you afraid of?” Su Sumei wasn’t worried at all.

A renowned family was most afraid of a bad reputation.

Even if things were a mess underneath, nothing could be brought out to the open.

It just so happens that Ji Weitian was such a mess. She grew up in an ordinary family, with no resume to speak of, and she had a baby outside of marriage, with an unknown father…

None of which was good for her future.

If a playboy like Chen Xu could be picky about Ji Weitian, then other eligible men would be even pickier.

“Go shop for some pretty gowns. Don’t nag your dad about the party anymore, alright?”

“Alright.” Ji Kaisui stood where she was, a shadow flicking across her gaze.

It was a big deal that the Ji family was throwing a party for their newly-discovered oldest daughter.

The news got a lot of attention from everyone in upper-class society.

Su Sumei didn’t reveal Ji Weitian’s age, looks, occupation, etc. She only revealed a smugness, managing to pique everyone’s interest.

Before the party had even begun, the name “Ji Weitian” had become the topic on everyone’s lips.

Even Leng Jian called Ji Weitian asking about it.

“It’s odd that Su Sumei is acting nice for no reason. Be careful.”

For the last few days, Ji Weitian worked happily on her experiments in the lab while Qin Nanyu wasn’t around. She pursed her lips, “Relax, she won’t create any drama. Hey, can you find out where Qin Nanyu went?”
