The voice from the document broke the awkward atmosphere. Ji Mufeng opened the file and understood what was going on. He then turned the screen towards Ji Ruxue's direction and said, "Look for yourself."
Ji Ru Xue couldn't be bothered about that anymore. She focused on reading the words on the screen. "It's made from the first cigarette …" Ji Mufeng nodded, "This time, Chuyan is preparing to fight with us for a long duration." Then he said, "Now you know who did it, and you define others by your own wishful thinking. You can really do it now."
After hearing such sarcastic remarks, even if Ji Ru Xue knew she did wrong, she wasn't willing to be lectured by Ji Mufeng like that. She then raised her head and said, "Junior Yan is using me and my child to challenge you, right? If it wasn't for you, how could anything have happened to the little grape? "In the end, it's just you implicating us."
Ji Mufeng wanted to say something, but the two of them had no choice but to put aside everything and coax him.
The little grape was holding a flower in its hand and was holding it out towards Ji Ruxue. Ji Ruxue squatted down to cooperate with it and stuck the flower into Ji Ruxue's ponytail. Then, with a serious expression, she said, "Mom, Little Grapes really loves you. Little Grapes has grown up and wants to marry mom to be his bride."
Such child's words made Ji Ruxue ruthlessly kiss him on the cheek. "That little grape has to eat obediently before it can grow up."
Knocking sounds came from the door. Qin Xue came over. She lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Young Master Ji, Miss Ji, lunch is ready. Please come down to eat."
When everyone had arrived, Qin Xue prepared to return to her room and leave them a private dining room. But Jiang Ning learned to pull her and said, "Qin Xue, did you have a quarrel with Mu Feng? Quickly sit down and eat with mother."
Although everyone had gotten used to Jiang Ning learning to treat Qin Xue as her daughter-in-law in the past few days and knew that she was just mumbling about a patient, this was also the first time they heard it.
Qin Xue's face instantly turned red, but she couldn't care less as she coaxed Jiang Ning, "Madam, I'm someone who took care of you, it has nothing to do with young master."
Seeing that Jiang Ning was about to start making a ruckus again, Ji Mufeng said to Qin Xue, "You should also sit down and eat together, there's no need to be so concerned about all this." Ji Ruxue's face turned slightly blue. What did this count as? Did he agree to it? What would an ignorant person think? What would she think of her little grapes? An illegitimate child?
He ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then carried the small grape back to his bedroom.
After forcing Ji Ru Xue to leave, Jiang Ning Xue lost her appetite and directly said that she had to rest since she was tired. After sending Jiang Ning back to her room, Ji Mufeng said to Qin Xue, "In the future, no matter what the old lady says or does, just cooperate with her. Be careful not to make her too emotional."
Qin Xue looked at the man in front of her. He didn't look at her directly, but focused on his own matters. His eyes were deep, as if there were countless stars and moonlight hidden within, making one want to explore him.
After Ji Mufeng finished instructing, he went upstairs to rest. Qin Xue stayed in the living room to clean up, but her thoughts drifted a little further away: Ji Ru Xue, oh Ji Ru Xue, you can't even catch such an outstanding man, why don't you let me do it? It had only been a short lunch time, but many people's thoughts were slowly changing.
Ji Mufeng shut the door behind him. Ji Ruxue made a gesture of 'hush' to him and pointed in the direction of the small bedroom, indicating that little grape had already fallen asleep.
The two of them sat on the bed with their backs to each other, not saying a word.
"Young Master Ji, the Leng Clan's investigation is progressing." First Smoke's Challenge Letter caused NC to be on guard. They didn't even let go of the people and stuff related to the First Smoke.
"Yes." Ji Mufeng nodded, signalling them to continue, "The Leng Clan went through a major blood transformation a while ago, and almost changed all of the people that stood by Leng Ning's side. Others thought that it was because they could not accept Leng Ning's departure that they changed them, but one of them said that they heard a quarrel before, and the Leng Clan's Patriarch said, 'I might as well not have a daughter like you!'."
This news came so suddenly that Ji Mufeng started to ponder, "The Leng Clan has always been famous for their strict rules. Even the members of the Leng Clan that disgrace their clan will be removed from the list immediately."
"At that time, Leng Ye was an illegitimate child and it was only because he had the ability to serve the Leng Clan that he was barely able to save his life. As for Leng Ning, it was also because Lady Leng used her own life to force her to give birth to a child."
As he spoke to here, Ji Mufeng disdainfully pointed to the photo of the Leng Clan's Patriarch, "Now that Lady Leng is no longer here and the child that Leng Ning gave birth to is already so old, it's possible for her to make a move in a moment of desperation."
The subordinate continued, "Then should we continue investigating?"
Ji Mufeng laughed, "Investigate, of course we have to investigate. If the truth is as I guessed, wouldn't the initial smoke blame us? I am sure that my Ji Clan cannot afford to wear such a hat. "
Ji Mufeng said it in a relaxed manner, but it caused the people under him to break out in cold sweat. Investigating this matter was urgent, they couldn't be careless.
"Teacher Leng's death was a secret?" When Ji Ruxue heard the words that Gu Tianyang passed to her, she was slightly shocked. She held onto the microphone and whispered, "I was just thinking about how you were in contact with Leng Ning earlier. You should know more about this matter. Don't say anymore, I'm hanging up."
Ji Ruxue curled up her legs and rested her head on her knees, lost in thought. She still remembered the first time she saw Leng Ning. Her every move revealed the temperament of a young miss, making the ignorant her want to get close to her.
He still remembered how Leng Ning had been gentle and gentle. Back then, her emotions had been unstable, but Leng Ning had patiently taught her. Back then, she had been extremely worried, and it was only because of Leng Ning that she slowly built up her trust in other people.
If … If Teacher Leng's death was a secret, Ji Ruxue had to find out. It wasn't just because Leng Ning was so good to her, but also because she was Ji Siyuan's mother. Ji Ruxue would never forgive anyone who tried to hurt them.
Everyone knew about the strict house manners of the Leng Clan. No matter how outsiders viewed it, the Leng Clan was proud of this. Ji Ruxue put on a little bit of makeup to make her face look even paler.
Ji Ruxue paced around outside the door for a long time until the security guards at the door were about to chase her away. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she walked over.
The head of the Leng Clan walked out as if he was driving away flies, "What are you doing here? This is not a place you should be!"
Ji Ruxue stammered, "I … I am Miss Leng's student. Miss Leng has taught me far too many things, causing me to treat the Leng Clan with great respect. I am here to visit Miss Leng's residence. "
Only after hearing her flattery did Leng An look at Ji Ruxue. She was just a weak little girl, but he did not let his guard down. He asked, "Why do I not have an impression of you?"
Ji Ruxue felt a little inferior and disappointed. "Teacher Leng has taught many students. It's normal for you to have no impression of me. I've only been helped by Teacher Leng."
This coaxing caused Leng An to relax his eyebrows and attract a person, "Bring the Eldest Miss's student to her room to have a look. Our Leng Clan will naturally agree to these requests."
A layer of dust had already covered Leng Ning's room. Ji Ruxue squeezed out a few tears and asked the servant behind her, "Can I stay here alone for a while?"
The servant in this room didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood at the door and said, "Then call for me if there's anything."
After she closed the door, Ji Ruxue's originally frightened expression turned serious. After she inspected the room, she found a diary under the dressing table.
This was all given to her by Leng Ning at the time. "If a lady has any worries, she can write them down in her diary." Perhaps Ji Ruxue had not shown any kindness back then, or perhaps she had tolerated it for so long before she said, "If you don't want others to know, you can hide it. Teacher's diary is under the dressing table."
The corner of the diary had turned yellow. Clearly, it had been used for a long time. Who knew how many secrets were hidden under the normal black leather.
After they left, Ji Ruxue slightly bowed towards Leng An. "I came here specifically on behalf of Miss Leng's students to take a look. Thank you, Mr. Leng, for allowing us to view the scene for the last time."
These words made Leng Ning feel very proud and at ease. She put on a refined expression, "For my daughter to be able to bring up such a good student like you is her achievement."
Ji Ru Xue sniggered in her heart. She was indeed a decent man, but he didn't show it on the surface. He then bid her farewell with a sorrowful expression.
After returning home, Ji Ru Xue didn't even have the time to look through her diary before Ji Mufeng came over. Ji Mufeng directly tossed a bag to her and said, "Change into it, accompany me to a party later."
Ji Ru Xue could only hide Leng Ning's diary first. She didn't understand why she didn't tell Ji Mufeng the information she obtained. She mocked herself, as expected, she was unaccustomed to the idea of hiding it from him.
Ji Ruxue held Ji Mufeng's arm as they slowly walked into the venue. Once they entered, their eyes constantly swept over Ji Ruxue.
At that time, everyone thought that Ji Ruxue would definitely become Madam Ji. But now, they just treated her as Ji Mufeng's lover.
Ji Ruxue didn't care about their gazes, she only smiled at Ji Mufeng.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the field. It was Jiang Ning who had received the invitation, but she held onto a young girl and said to Ji Mufeng, "Why are you still standing there? Why aren't you coming over to help your wife?"
