Shen Yixian and Lin Ci were sowhat restrained, hesitating to sit down.
Su Sui’s beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if recalling sothing, and spoke again, "I seem to have forgotten, this is your second ti visiting the Ji Family Villa, isn’t it? How about this, I’ll have the butler give you a tour of the villa."
Shen Yixian and Lin Ci glanced at Ji Weitian. Ji Weitian nodded to them, and only then did they agree to follow the butler and leave.
Ji Weitian placed Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling on the couch, turned around coldly, "Speak whatever you want to say."
Since the end of the last banquet, Ji Weitian had not had any further contact with the Ji Family.
Ji Mofeng and Su Sui were suddenly so attentive, visiting her and inviting their whole family to dine at the Ji Family Villa. Ji Weitian had already prepared herself ntally.
Now, with her adoptive parents not present, she didn’t have to beat around the bush with the Ji Family mbers.
"Weitian, what’s with that tone?" Su Sui interjected, "Your father and I invited you to the Ji Family because we truly care. If you suspect us of harboring ulterior motives, it really hurts your father’s feelings..."
"I’m speaking to my dad, why are you butting in?" Ji Weitian cast a cold glance at Su Sui, cutting her off mid-sentence.
In her eyes, the only person related to her in the Ji Family was Ji Mofeng.
And that relation was limited to a blood connection.
"You... I am, after all, your elder..." Su Sui, feeling insulted, turned pitifully to Ji Mofeng, "They say it’s tough to be a stepmother, I think it’s better if I just don’t talk."
Ji Mofeng’s eyes darkened, his face turned stern as he regarded Ji Weitian.
Seeing her defiant expression brought another figure to mind; once, during an argunt, "she" had looked at him the sa way, as if mocking his ignorance of "her" world...
The sa expression on two different people seed to pull Ji Mofeng back more than twenty years.
If back then he had managed to control his temper, might everything have turned out differently...
Ji Mofeng shook his head to clear it, frowning deeply when he realized his thoughts.
He turned his head to glance at Su Sui, "Stop crying all the ti, you’re annoying even if you’re not annoying yourself."
"Good thing at least soone in the Ji Family understands ... I..." Su Sui heard what Ji Mofeng had said, suddenly choked up, blinking in disbelief.
In the past, whenever she purposely provoked Ji Weitian and made her insult her, Ji Mofeng always took her side.
She thought it would be the sa this ti, but Ji Mofeng’s sudden words caught her completely off guard.
Su Sui, having been reprimanded by Ji Mofeng, truly had tears filling her eyes.
She sat by herself, silent, shooting a resentful glare at Ji Weitian.
Seeing her discomfort brought Ji Weitian pleasure.
Subsequently, her attitude toward Ji Mofeng softened, as she leisurely took a seat on the sofa.
She reached for the cup of water, took a sip, then offered one to Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling.
At this mont, she heard Ji Mofeng ask, "The person who took you away from the family banquet that day, was it Qin Nanyu?"
Ji Weitian was slightly startled, raising her eyebrows at Ji Mofeng.
Hearing his words, as if suddenly understanding, she realized why the Ji Family had sought her out.
"Ding ding!" Ji Weitian’s phone rang at just that mont.
She looked down at her phone, saw a ssage from Leng Jian, and her lips curled into a mocking smile.
