Chapter 218: Chapter 214: Is His Family in the Locksmith Business?

Qin Jiangsheng: “…”

He didn’t quite believe this fact.

“Is there evidence? Don’t falsely accuse the Ji Family.”

Tang Yu was speechless and just ca clean, “Let give you the lowdown. I am a descendant of the Tang Clan from the Central Continent. Ever heard of the Tang Clan? They are experts in chanisms and hidden weapons. Most of the ancient tomb chanisms were created by the Tang Clan. And my Aunt Qiao Luhua, my dad’s sister, hasn’t been back to the Central Continent much since she got married, but I am related to the Ji Family. Look, here’s a family photo my dad gave .”

The photo had a sense of age to it, with many people in it. Qiao Luhua’s family stood prominently at the front.

Ji Lingyun looked about ten years old, with a stern face. Seven or eight-year-old Ji Qilin had a warm smile, reaching out to grab his brother’s hand. Qiao Luhua was smiling at the cara, with Ji Tian, wearing a pink princess dress, in her arms, looking about seven or eight months old, with bewildered eyes and a toothless smile of joy. And Ji Weinan with pursed lips was reaching out to be held by Qiao Luhua.

He pointed to the little boy beside Qiao Luhua and said to Qin Jiangsheng, “See that? That’s . Handso, huh?”

He was holding sothing like a candied haw skewer, it was all over his face, and syrup dribbling down onto his hands, beaming intelligently at the cara.

Qin Jiangsheng looked away and replied indifferently, “Can’t tell, but you’ve changed a lot.”

Tang Yu grinned, his eyebrows raised, “I’ll take that as a complint that I’m handso. What should I bring when visiting relatives?”

“I don’t know.”

“That cold?”

After a mont of silence, Qin Jiangsheng, considering that he might be Ji Tian’s cousin, pursed his lips slightly and replied more helpfully, “Bring so money.”

Tang Yu: “?”

“She likes money.”

“…”

What a strange preference. Wouldn’t a little girl prefer a beautiful princess dress or a cute doll figurine?

He refused to believe that his pretty and lovely cousin could have such a vulgar taste!

“Forget it, I’ll think of sothing myself. There’s no way a girl would love money like that. Don’t try to fra .”

Qin Jiangsheng: “…”

Such a stubborn one. He rarely offered good advice, telling him about Ji Tian’s preference. Well, if he didn’t believe it, so be it.

The next day.

Ji Tian woke up for class and turned on her phone, the ding-ding-ding nearly caused it to crash. Checking, she saw her Weibo inbox was overloaded with private ssages, many of them threatening her for invading their privacy.

Those who had been blustering online received a court summons that very day. They couldn’t believe the Ji Family wasn’t pulling strings behind the scenes, given the swift response!

Ji Tian posted the investigation warrant given by the Ji Family lawyer on Weibo with a caption: “Keep shouting, you’re next.”

As soon as the ssage was out, comnts that usually flooded in by the thousands within minutes dared not appear today, though the post was widely shared.

Ji Tian stopped paying attention and closed her private ssages, keeping the annoying notifications at bay. Her world was peaceful again, and she decided never to turn that feature on again.

She casually forwarded the information about Bai Tingyu hiring internet trolls to her big brother. Whether they would reduce cooperation with the Bai Family or take other actions, Ji Tian didn’t want to bother with it for the mont.

This would fundantally stop the Bai Family’s economic inflow. The Ji Family had been cooperating with the Bai Family for over a decade, and the ties couldn’t be severed abruptly as the intertwined interests were substantial, and one wrong move could be detrintal to both.

The car soon arrived at the academy. Ji Tian walked into the academic building, too lazy to climb the stairs, and took the elevator instead. Jian Chuyi was already there, covering her ears and reciting chemistry formulas. Ji Tian didn’t want to disturb her and took out her chemistry book to join in.

“Tiantian, you’re here just in ti. Help with this problem.”

Jian Chuyi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at her, seeing Ji Tian as her lifeline in academia.

Recently, Tiantian had beco her “secret manual” for boosting her school ranking.

Who understood that a best friend could be a study machine? She could ask anything and nobody would find her annoying. How blissful is that?

She was on the verge of tears.

Thanks to Tiantian, she felt that many previously incomprehensible things suddenly beca clear, and she looked forward to the next mock exam to see if her current ranking had improved.

Other schools only ranked students at midterms and finals, but Imperial City Academy was ruthless. Whether it was a major or minor test, even if only two days apart, they would produce a ranking list.

Perhaps it was because of Tiantian’s flag-raising speech last ti that the class had stopped being competitive, adopting a more relaxed attitude since their rankings didn’t change despite all the exams.

Just like Tiantian said, you just have to be true to yourself and leave the rest to karma.

In class, Jian Chuyi would study, and after class, she would gossip with Tiantian. Suddenly rembering sothing, she said excitedly, “Tiantian, Bai Tingyu’s adult ceremony is in ten days, right? Uncle Bai will surely make a big deal out of it. Are you going?”

Tiantian yawned lazily, “No, it’s his birthday, I’ll have to accompany him anyway.”

Jian Chuyi twitched the corner of her mouth, cautiously looking around. Luckily, the classmates had all gone to the corridor to play, “Keep your voice down, don’t let Bai Tingyu hear you. I’ve realized he’s quite petty, and not at all cool!”

Tiantian was surprised. Jian Chuyi, this girl, had no other hobby than loving good looks. She followed her simple principles of beauty, but… she only admired from a distance. If asked to chase soone, she would be terrified, too scared to death. Despite being rich, she was the obedient girl famous in the socialite circle, never playing computer gas or going to bars, just adoring the handso guys in ani and in real life.

For so many years, her passion had been unwavering, a model of consistency in the world of fans. When a new handso character appeared, she would support him, like when she first saw the “campus F4,” she was totally smitten.

She snorted with laughter, “Your eyes are finally working, considering how you were chasing after Bai Tingyu and my older brother before. I should recomnd an optotrist for you.”

Jian Chuyi: “…”

“You look at the face first, then the character, isn’t that what they say?” she defended boldly.

Tiantian was puzzled, “Who’s spouting that crooked theory?”

She puffed her cheeks, a bit sheepish, “I said it, but your older brother really isn’t bad. You’re so beautiful, how could he be any worse? He’s the dream guy of many girls in school.”

Changing the subject, she returned to the original topic, “Even if you don’t want to go, you probably can’t avoid it. The Bai and Ji families being prestigious families, they’ll send you an invitation based on the elders’ relationship.”

Tiantian pulled a face, murmuring, “We’ll see when the ti cos, it’s still early.”

“It’s soon, and aren’t you going to ‘The Strongest Brain’ show this Saturday?”

Tiantian nodded, grateful it was just one episode. She was there to cause a stir. The previous participants had battled through the rounds and were at the semifinals now, and Tiantian’s last-minute addition was just to shake things up.

In the afternoon, after school, Ji Weinan ca to her class to wait for her. He looked a bit strange and seed hesitant to talk to Tiantian.

Annoyed by his hemming and hawing, Tiantian rolled her eyes and asked without much patience, “So, what’s up?”

Ji Weinan scratched his head, “My second brother just called and said he’s hosting guests at ho.”

“Guests?”

The guests who could make Ji Qilin leave work so early and return ho were few.

Ji Weinan was also puzzled, “Yeah, it’s from my mother’s family, the E Tang Family from the Central Continent. They’ve sent soone.”

It had been over ten years since they last interacted, and if there were any etings, it was Qiao Luhua who visited the Central Continent. The four major families affiliated with the Central Continent rarely set foot in this territory.

Tiantian had never t these so-called “relatives.”

“My eldest brother also returned ho from the company. Let’s go see who it is. Second brother ntioned that they’re in the locksmith business.”

Tiantian: “…”

Locksmiths?
