Ji Mufeng smiled apologetically at the crowd as he explained, "My mother only slowly recovered a while ago. If there's anything wrong with her, please forgive her."
The people present all turned to look at Jiang Ningzhi. She was still smiling, as if she did not understand what they were saying. The woman beside her looked unfamiliar, as if she understood what was going on.
Logically speaking, even if he said something because he was sick, he should have explained it in private. Not like this, in public, he directly rejected Jiang Ning's words.
Looking at Ji Ruxue, who was standing beside Ji Mufeng, wearing a long dress, the eyeliner on the back of her eyes slightly raised, revealing a different charm than usual. She thought that Miss Ji's methods were amazing, to be able to make Young Master Ji protect her in public.
The people at the party were usually separated by man and woman. The ladies chatted about some trivial matters while the men talked about official matters. Ji Ruxue, Ji Mufeng's female companion, was naturally with him. However, Jiang Ningxia could only chat with other women.
Seeing that Ji Ru Xue was moved, Jiang Ning learned to bite her lips in hatred and came up with a new countermeasure. She turned her head and chatted with the others.
Although everyone knew a little about what happened back then with Jiang Ning, she was Ji Mufeng's mother after all, so there was still a hint of flattery in her words.
"Which family is this lady from? Why are you so unfamiliar with her?" The person who asked this question was a well-dressed middle-aged woman, but her face revealed a bit of concern.
Jiang Ning Xuezhi and the rest had been waiting for this question for a long time. She pulled Qin Xue over, treated her like her own daughter, and introduced her with a smile, "Look at all of you, it's just a quarrel between her and Mu Feng, how could you not recognize her? She's my daughter-in-law, Qin Xue."
As she said this, she pulled Qin Xue closer to the crowd. "Call them." Qin Xue looked a little embarrassed, but she still shouted with great difficulty, "Mom …" Then he shouted at the crowd, "Hello Auntie."
Jiang Ning could learn to mess around, but no one dared to talk back. If they wanted to use this momentum to climb up to the top, they probably wouldn't be so delusional. Now that Qin Xue suddenly appeared, they couldn't underestimate her.
There was one Miss Li who wore a pink bubble dress and hated Ji Ru Xue very much. She obviously didn't like Qin Xue either, but she purposely raised her voice and used an exaggerated and sharp voice to pierce through the crowd. "Yo! But we can't call her Miss Qin, that would mean we have to call her Madam Ji! "
Ji Ru Xue naturally heard the news as well. Ji Mu Feng frowned and didn't want to interfere in the affairs of women. The host of the banquet happened to be the Li family. He laughed and wanted to go over this matter.
However, Ji Ruxue did not intend to overturn this matter. She smiled faintly and said, "I wonder what kind of major Miss Li is studying in? Is it the traditional theatrical clown? "Just a while ago when I was hanging up my throat, it sounded like my basic skills were pretty good."
These words of ridicule had caused Director Li to lose all face. A man who had experienced all sorts of great scenes was actually holding back his face.
The person on the other side continued to speak loudly, "It looks like Madam Ji is a refined and reserved woman!" It doesn't seem like some people... " Before he could finish his triumphant words, he was slapped by Director Li to the ground.
Lying on the ground, Miss Li struggled to get up. She covered her face, wondering why her father, who had always doted on her, had beaten her up in such an occasion.
A pair of thin high-heeled shoes appeared in front of her eyes. Looking up, it was a pair of sparkling white ankles and a pair of long legs wrapped in a long skirt made of hot blood. Ji Ruxue walked over with Ji Mufeng on her arm and looked down at her emotionlessly, as if she, Li Wan Wan Wan, was not worthy to be her opponent.
Ji Ru Xue shook the red wine cup in her hand and said, "Miss Li's singing skills are pretty good, but I don't know where it is that you don't have the ability to provoke."
Although everyone in the circle knew that Ji Ruxue was only a mistress, they had no choice but to give her some face. After indicating that his wife should bring Li Wan Wan down, they smiled apologetically.
Ji Ruxue nodded and said to Ji Mufeng, "I'm going to the washroom."
When he came out, he saw a person standing in the empty corridor. It was Qin Xue. Even though she was wearing a formal dress, she still looked like a child who was wearing adults' clothes.
Ji Ru Xue never really took Qin Xue's words seriously. She only planned to pass by her and return to the main hall. Qin Xue carefully tugged at Ji Ru Xue's skirt. "Miss Ji, I didn't do it on purpose. I just …" However, Young Master Ji told me … "I have to cooperate with the madame …"
Seeing her skirt being ripped by Qin Xue, she pulled it back from Qin Xue's hand, "It's fine. Just do your own thing."
Qin Xue staggered from the pulling. She lowered her head and let out a few soft sobs that echoed throughout the empty corridor, "Miss Ji, I didn't do it on purpose …" "Don't blame me …"
Ji Ruxue had seen this kind of trick many times. Seeing that she was crying, Ji Mufeng came out, but he did not expect this scene. He signaled Qin Xue to enter and stood in front of Ji Ruxue.
Ji Ru Xue lowered her head and tidied up her skirt. Without raising her head, she asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to vent your mother's anger on her daughter-in-law?"
These words infuriated Ji Mufeng even more. He clearly knew that she was just putting on an act and taking it out now, wasn't it all on purpose?
"I know you didn't do anything specific to her, but at least you have a chance to be arrogant, right?" He thought of the scene from earlier, "What's more, even if this has nothing to do with you, what you did with me was real, right?"
Hearing this, Ji Ruxue pushed Ji Mufeng against the sink and grabbed his collar, forcing him to look at her in the mirror.
The two in the mirror were intimate as if they were a sweet couple. Ji Ruxue stared fixedly at Ji Mufeng's eyes in the mirror, her red lips moving as she whispered into his ear, "I can be your lover, you can tell everyone that I'm your lover, but you can't let any woman surpass you, and you don't want your son to be treated as an illegitimate child, right?"
After saying that, she let go of Ji Mufeng's collar and walked back into the hall, leaving Ji Mufeng alone to look at himself in the mirror. His earlobes were smeared with Ji Ruxue's lipstick and a peculiar feeling flashed across his heart.
When the two returned to the main hall, they didn't feel unfamiliar with each other. On the contrary, they felt even more excited. However, there was a hint of provocation in their tone, as if they were testing each other out.
That night, the two of them drank until they were slightly drunk. Ji Mufeng brought Ji Ruxue to the mirror in the bathroom and did the same thing that Ji Ruxue did to him that night.
The woman's lipstick was messy and her hair was hanging down from her neck. Her face was stained with lust, as if he had pulled her out of a shrine.
At this moment, Ji Mufeng felt a sense of realism, as if this person was completely his and not the dazzling beauty who could draw people's attention with a single move.
Due to the hot air in the bathroom, there was a layer of misty fog. Ji Ruxue could no longer see her own face, so naturally, she could not see Ji Mufeng's expression. However, she could feel it from his movements.
He panicked. Yes, he had always been someone with such possessive desires, but he just didn't know it. If he panicked, it would mean that he lost tonight.
Thus, he twisted his neck and bit into Ji Mufeng's adam's apple, sucking out a bright red mark, as if it was his own seal.
In contrast to the fervent atmosphere, the Ji Residence was brightly lit. Jiang Ning looked at Qin Xue's expression and asked, "You saw it all?"
While Qin Xue was tidying up and cleaning up, she inadvertently heard Jiang Ningzhi talking to someone else on the phone. Her tone was normal, without the slightest hint of craziness from before.
Qin Xue couldn't care less at this moment. She knelt down at Jiang Ning's feet, shivering, "Madame Jiang, I was wrong. I beg you, I won't tell anyone."
Jiang Ning learned how to use her well-kept hands and lifted Qin Xue's chin, "You only need to tell me what you think about Ji Mufeng and Young Master Ji?"
An unnatural blush appeared on Qin Xue's face. "Young Master Ji is a very good person …" Jiang Ning naturally understood what she meant. She snorted coldly, "I remember that you're studying finance as a supporting major in your university, right?"
He then used his long nails to scratch her face, "Do your best, I will give you a chance, give you a chance to stand by Ji Mufeng's side."
Qin Xue put on a flattering expression and repeatedly agreed. However, when she returned to her room, she revealed a cold smile. She had received the news from the NC department. "Agree to Jiang Ning."
She only heard Qin Xue mutter to herself, "This time, it's not my fault. The heavens gave me this chance. In the remaining time, Ji Ru Xue, don't blame me for being ruthless. Let me be the man you can't catch."
"Father, little sister, she …" The one who spoke was Leng Xing, who looked a little anxious. Leng Ye looked at him with a warning gaze, "What, are you questioning my order?"
"I don't dare." Even though Leng Xing was unwilling for Leng Xue to do such a thing, she did not dare to refute Leng Ye. All she could hear was a grunt from Leng Ye, "This Jiang Ning is really interesting. Let them all leave their families behind first, before they meet up in the underworld."
