The Ji Clan's employees didn't dare to breathe too loudly during this period of time. They didn't even dare to make the slightest mistake. The reason was that Ji Mufeng had been temperamental lately, unlike the gentle Director Ji of the past.
Gu Youyang had recently seen Ji Mufeng run towards the outskirts of the city after work. He didn't even bother to return home as he asked, "Mufeng, it's fine if you don't return home recently, but why aren't you even paying attention to us?" He said as if he was joking, "You are running all the way to the outskirts of the city, could it be that you are hiding a girl in the gold house?"
Ji Mufeng's slender fingers that were holding the document tightened, but then he relaxed, "It's nothing, I was just unable to sleep in the house from before."
With that, he rolled his eyes at Gu Tianyang, "What are you standing there for? Have you finished the work assigned to you? "
Gu Tianyang thought that Ji Mufeng wasn't willing to bring up this matter again, so he awkwardly smiled and left. He didn't know if that little girl, Ruxue, was doing well abroad, with not a single trace left. He could only hope that they would quickly let go of the knot in their hearts, so that he wouldn't get scolded by Ji Mufeng for no reason.
However, the atmosphere in the mansion wasn't as tense as it was in the company, and the music started again slowly. Ji Ruxue sipped her coffee, feeling rather satisfied with her good manners.
Young Master Ji was clearly such an outstanding man, but this woman was so indifferent to him. She truly didn't know what was good for her. It was her fortune to be called the Young Madam by a single woman.
Ji Ru Xue seemed to have thought of something as she asked, "It's obvious that Old Master Ji isn't here anymore, but why do you still call him Young Master Ji?"
When Sister Li saw that Ji Ruxue was finally willing to take Ji Mufeng's matter seriously, she was slightly happy. After being stuck on each other for so long, it really made people nervous.
Thus, he sat down next to Ji Ruxue and said, "Actually, I shouldn't have said these things to you, but I still wanted to let you know how much Young Master Ji has suffered."
Ji Ru Xue raised her brows as she calmly listened to what she had to say.
Although we called him Young Master Ji, we didn't call that woman Jiang Ning the madame, we simply called her Madame Jiang. I can't say much about the things that happened too long ago, but you need to know, at that time, Master Ji was brought up by himself, and even after he died, Young Master Ji did not allow us to change our names, as if Master Ji was still alive.
Ji Ruxue gently stirred the coffee cup and spoon in her hand. Ji Ruxue's unfathomable gaze was reflected on the dark water surface. Ji Ruxue only said, "I understand now, Sister Li. I'll think about it carefully."
Sister Li understood her meaning as well. She said that she still had matters to attend to and retreated to the side, leaving Ji Ruxue alone, sitting there without moving. It was unknown what she was thinking about.
In the past two days, Ji Mu Feng and Ji Ru Xue's relationship had indeed improved quite a bit. Perhaps it was because he knew about Ji Mu Feng's past that he understood what he wanted to say that day.
However, Ji Mufeng didn't believe her. He didn't believe that Ji Ru Xue would obediently stay by his side. Ji Mufeng wasn't afraid that Ji Ru Xue would run out with the bracelet.
That night, Ji Mufeng, who rarely didn't come back, wanted to go abroad to discuss business. Ji Ruxue was leaning against the pillow by herself with the bedside lamp on, listening to the sounds of the patrolling staff changing shifts as she rotated her bracelet in a daze.
Suddenly, Ji Ruxue heard other sounds, as if someone was riding a locomotive past a villa. Her spirits were immediately roused.
Ji Mufeng, who was surrounding the villa, did not allow anyone to get close. It was already so late, why would anyone come over? Ji Ruxue did not care whether they were friends or foes, and slipped out barefooted.
Ji Ruxue's hearing was extremely good. This was the effect of the injection she had received. Back then, she hated the remnants of these products, but now, she was extremely grateful to Ji Ru Xue. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hear the sounds of cars coming from outside.
Ji Ru Xue climbed on top of the wall and looked into the distance, hoping to find that person. She had been researching for a long time and knew that this was the only blind spot in the mansion.
The sound of the heavy locomotive came again. Ji Ruxue threw a stone in hopes of attracting his attention. Fortunately, the locomotive stopped right in front of her.
When the person took off the helmet, the two of them were shocked. Ji Ru Xue unconsciously called out his name, "Si Yuan …" She never expected that the lively boy would appear in this place late at night.
Ji Siyuan was also very shocked. "Like Snow..." He looked at her with a complicated expression, "Ruoxue, did you know? The message Ji Mufeng sent to others was that you disappeared after you went overseas. "
Ji Ruxue also felt it was inconceivable. What was Ji Mufeng trying to do? Was he trying to erase the traces she had left behind in this world? And then she would be imprisoned here for the rest of her life?
The two of them looked at each other for a long time, each having their own thoughts. Ji Ruxue was the one who spoke first, "Shiyuan, help me."
Ji Ruxue avoided the patrolling people and returned to her room. She wrapped herself in a blanket and was so excited that she almost couldn't control herself. Yes, very soon, she would be able to escape from this place.
"Knock knock knock —" There was a knock on the door and Sister Li stood outside. "Young Madam, would you like to use some bird's nest?" Ji Ruxue calmed down and pretended to be tired. "No need. I want to rest first."
On the second day, Ji Ruxue planned to stroll around the yard after breakfast, observing the terrain. She practiced the plans she discussed last night over and over in her mind, thinking about the various situations that might occur.
Fighting sounds could be heard from outside. Ji Ru Xue clenched her fists as she felt her spine tighten. They're coming. They're coming!
When the bodyguards heard the voice, the first thing they did was to surround Ji Ru Xue and firmly place her in the middle. Ji Ru Xue looked nervous as she said, "Send someone to check what's going on."
On the roadside, the two groups of people were in a stalemate. According to their shouts, the 'black fight' had happened, which was why the two groups were fighting here.
After knowing the truth, Ji Ruxue frowned and said, "Send a few more people to stop them. I don't want to disturb my peace and quiet here."
Ji Ruxue revealed a rare look of annoyance. The servants were afraid that she would get angry and complain to Ji Mufeng when he returned. The bodyguard hesitated for a moment before sending two people to protect Ji Ruxue.
The people around them were extremely nervous. It wasn't because they were afraid that the two groups of people would implicate them, but because they had heard of Ji Ru Xue's past and were worried that she was playing a trick.
