He had also arranged for Aunt Fang to be on guard, obviously not wanting him to know, that if he were to ask for her directly, it would naturally not work out in the end, and even his grandfather might not know about this! Also, according to the Aunt Fang's defensive posture, it should be difficult for him to search secretly, right?
As Ji Zijie had not spoken a word since he got on the car, the driver very naturally drove him to the company. When he came out of his deep thought, he quickly told the driver to turn around and give him an address.
Around eleven-thirty, he returned to the Ji Clan and went straight to the ancestral home, carrying Mu Wanrong's favorite food, the roasted goose and the osmanthus cake.
Aunt Fang saw him first and immediately asked in shock, "Young Master Zi Jie, why are you here? Aren't you at the company at this time of day? "
Ji Zijie laughed brilliantly as usual, waving the things in his hands and replied, "Grandmother likes to eat the first-class stewed geese and osmanthus cake, I was there to meet guests this morning and brought them over for her to eat."
Aunt Fang suddenly realized something, and immediately became ecstatic, impatiently running back to her hut to report the good news to Mu Wanrong.
Mu Wanrong was also pleasantly surprised, but when she saw Ji Zijie holding his favorite food, she couldn't help but grin.
"I knew Grandmother would like it. I'll buy more for Grandmother to eat in the future, making Grandmother smile even more daintily than flowers."
"Hehe, little fellow, your mouth is as if it has been smeared with honey. You only know how to coax grandma."
"This means that Big Grandma did not love Young Master Zi Jie for nothing." Aunt Fang flattered her and turned to Ji Zijie and asked, "Oh right, Young Master Zi Jie, have you had lunch yet?"
"No, I bought a goose to eat with grandma. Where's grandpa? Why are you not seeing him? "
"A young friend of mine has returned. She has been running to that direction the past few days. She went out early today." With the Aunt Fang's support, Mu Wanrong began to walk towards the dining hall.
So that's how it was!
Isn't that a good time to act?
Ji Zijie was even more certain that Gu Rou should have been locked in the Ancestral House.
However, the Ancestral House was so large and there were so many rooms. Where would they be locked in? What could he do to keep his grandmother from being suspicious?
Mu Wanrong who had stepped into the dining room, although sshe had followed Ji Zijie, he was in a trance and had an absent-minded look. She could not help but scold: "What are you waiting for? You think you lost interest when your grandpa wasn't around? Let me tell you, your grandpa mentioned to me yesterday that he found a good girl for you, and she's the granddaughter of his friend. He's going to pick a time to arrange for you to meet.
The news that there was no warning suddenly exploded like a bomb in the deep sea. Ji Zijie quickly stopped his daydreaming and looked at Mu Wanrong in shock, shouting in disbelief, "Grandmother, what did you say? Don't scare me! "
"Scared you? How did this scare you? Look at you, you're 30 years old and still undecided. Your grandfather and I can only look on with dry eyes and crave each time we are 27 years old. This is a rare opportunity for your grandfather to find a suitable partner, so you must not avoid me. "
"Yeah, I'm 30, not 40. I'm still young." Ji Zijie continued to droop his handsome face as he tried to explain in a disapproving manner, "I say, Grandma, you will just be envious that the children of the Liang Family will get married and have children, why don't you say that I'm more capable than their grandson? I'm working on my career, getting married and having children. We can talk about it later, at least after I turn 35. "
"35 years old? Are you telling me to go to another world before I see my great-grandson? "
"Pah pah pah! Grandmother, you're going to live for two hundred years!"
"Two hundred years old? Become a monster? Only you can say that! "
The grandfather and grandson duo had already sat down, and the Aunt Fang had already filled up the soup and rice for them.
Mu Wanrong drank two mouthfuls before returning her attention back to Ji Zijie. "Zi Jie, Grandma told you that it's fine if you want to play with the women outside, but don't take it seriously. Grandma said that you must have a look at your marriage. From what your grandfather said, you like that Gu Rou? "
Errr —
Ji Zijie's heart immediately skipped a beat, he stopped drinking the soup.
"But you should know, she is Ji Chenxi's woman." Mu Wanrong continued to speak with a calm tone, but her eyes were sharp like a sword.
Ji Zijie slowly raised his head, welcomed her gaze, and answered, "Grandma, to be honest, I found out that Gu Rou is one of Ji Chenxi's people, that's why I got close to her."
"Hmm?" Mu Wanrong was surprised.
"I want to use Gu Rou to see if I can get her to work for me. You don't know, but Ji Chenxi has been paying attention to this Gu Rou, and for the past two days, he seemed to have disappeared. Ji Chenxi is so anxious, like a headless fly! "
"She … disappeared?"
"Hmm, I'm curious, why would she disappear for no reason? That's why I'm even more certain that Gu Rou is not an ordinary girl, if I cooperate with her and have her stay by her side, Ji Chenxi would definitely not be able to compete with me." Ji Zijie's words were clear, making it hard for people to differentiate between the truth and the falsehood, "Grandmother, tell me, is this plan of mine that's good enough? It is a pity that I do not know where Gu Rou is. If I can find her, this might be a good opportunity to make her agree to cooperate with me. "
After that, Mu Wanrong did not say anymore, but Ji Zijie occasionally said a few words, they were all about how he dealt with Ji Chenxi, and would involve Gu Rou from time to time, secretly hoping that Mu Wanrong would take the opportunity to tell him about Gu Rou. Unfortunately, even after the meal, Mu Wanrong still kept his mouth shut.
He had considered for a long time and finally decided that this method was the best one. However, he didn't succeed!
His own grandmother was even more cautious and calm than he had imagined!
"Grandma, you need some exercise after eating your fill. Let me help you walk around." Once the plan didn't work, Ji Zijie decided to carry out plan two without being discouraged, and prepared to take the opportunity to observe the terrain. Without waiting for Mu Wanrong to react, she immediately supported him and walked out of the house.
Fortunately, he had played around here since she was young, and had stepped into these places before. As they talked about the interesting things that happened when she was young, Mu Wanrong did not suspect anything, but when they passed by the side hall, Ji Zijie suddenly walked in.
"Grandmother, are you still using these rooms to store ancient items? I really have to wait a hundred years for you... Can you open it for us later? Why don't you let me enjoy myself now and see what treasures you have hidden? " Ji Zijie nonchalantly asked as he sharply examined the tightly shut doors.
Mu Wanrong's eyes flashed with a strange light, and after that, a sentence stopped Ji Zijie from probing, "Now look? Do you really want Grandmother to leave right now? "
The result could be imagined, Ji Zijie anxiously embraced her and apologized, "How can that be, didn't I just say that I want Grandmother's life to be two hundred years long!?
"Just like that! "Alright, now that you're done eating with your granny, I'll take my leave as well. Your filial piety grandmother has experienced it, so hurry and get busy with your work and let your mother see. Don't blame me for taking up your time."
"Uh, how could that be? Grandma, it's not like you don't know your status. My mom won't blame you. "
Mu Wanrong did not continue, but she let out a cold laugh from the bottom of her heart.
