Chapter 680: Chapter 681: The Past of the Ji Family
“Ji Tiantian, what’s wrong?”
The person who had ridden the elevator up with her asked Ji Tiantian, who was standing there looking at sothing.
Ji Tiantian flashed a sweet smile and said, “It’s nothing, just looking around.”
“Okay, everyone go inside. Let’s squeeze in and rest a bit. The preliminary selection is tomorrow.”
A leader opened the door and led the people behind him inside, but there were only three double beds in the room. It was evident how crowded their accommodation was going to be.
It was unknown why, but this year there were exceptionally many participants, and due to relying on the Ji Family’s influence, they were only able to secure one room when booking the hotel.
Even though the Ji Family was a cha Family, they had no special privileges and could only participate in the preliminary selection, competing step by step.
However, in ten competitions, at least eight tis, soone from the Ji Family would win the championship. This was their glory and confidence.
All mbers of the Ji Family entered the room, all of whom were usually pampered. Yet tonight, they had to make do with sleeping on the floor or sharing beds, which left everyone sowhat discontent, but they all endured it.
Never assu that a large family is united. The larger the family, the more mbers, and the fiercer the competition beco.
Otherwise, individuals like Lin Mu and Ji Sisi wouldn’t have run away from their roots, from their ho.
On the other hand, Ji Tiantian still harbored so doubts. She was too focused on Ji Sisi, or perhaps, she was the only person in the Ji Family who knew about Ji Sisi’s talent.
She and Ji Sisi were cousins and had grown up together. When everyone thought Ji Sisi was a cha waste, she was the only one who still interacted with her.
Back then, the Ji Family often said how the most talented individual and the worst waste were friends.
The little care Ji Tiantian showed Ji Sisi was imnsely magnified, elevating Ji Tiantian’s charismatic persona to a status valued by the family.
No authority wants to see their most talented child be unkind and uncharitable, hence Ji Sisi’s existence fulfilled all of Ji Tiantian’s needs.
But she accidentally discovered that Ji Sisi was far from a waste; her talent was terrifyingly high, which frightened her.
She feared Ji Sisi would beco the most valued person in the family and, even more so, that Ji Sisi might replace everything she possessed. Thus, she did sothing to get Ji Sisi pregnant.
After becoming pregnant, Ji Sisi indeed faced more contempt, but she persevered for the sake of the child within her.
Back then, thinking herself a waste, she feared that leaving the Ji Family would doom her child.
But when she saw Dou Dou being bullied and isolated, she resolutely decided to leave with Dou Dou, and she did not leave empty-handed.
Ji Sisi took the boldest action of her life, taking her mother’s dowry.
Her mother had passed away young, but her dowry had been substantial. Ji Sisi didn’t leave behind a single penny; she took it all.
Fortunately, not long after leaving the Ji Family, she took a wrong turn and encountered Nian Shutong, then went to Blue Star.
Ji Tiantian wasn’t sure if the person she saw was Ji Sisi. She would confirm it tomorrow.
anwhile, the concerned Ji Sisi was sleeping soundly by herself, utterly stress-free.
In Ji Sisi’s view, her reason for entering the cha Design competition was simple: she wanted to win the prize money, march her own path in cha, and earn face for Mr. Nian.
As for the Ji Family, to Ji Sisi, once she left, they had nothing to do with her.
Ji Sisi was a person untroubled by doubts, and now, her ho was on Blue Star.
That night, Lian Qing practiced in his room, not wasting a single second.
Nian Shutong shared a room with Dou Dou, but while Dou Dou slept on the bed, Nian Shutong sat ditating on the floor, holding a horse sculpture.
She still wasn’t accustod to having soone sleep next to her.
The next morning, Nian Shutong opened her eyes very early. After a night of ditation, she wasn’t tired at all, feeling only refreshed and clearheaded.
She first stepped out of the room, and outside, Lian Qing had already co out and respectfully greeted Nian Shutong with a morning salutation.
“Um, good morning.”
Nian Shutong checked the ti, and imdiately got an explanation from Lian Qing.
“The preliminaries start at ten in the morning, and the competition venue is in the building across from us, there’s plenty of ti.”
“Alright, thank you for arranging everything along the way.”
Nian Shutong sincerely thanked him, acknowledging that taking Lian Qing with her was truly worry-free, regardless of whether he could beco her apprentice.
He always had a way to arrange everything for you, always managed to clarify things just right, and all in all, it was very comfortable being with him.
“This is what I should do.” After saying that, Lian Qing didn’t say more, remaining quietly beside her and continuing to ditate.
Regardless, this temperant and the ability to ditate at any mont made Nian Shutong’s desire to accept him as a disciple even stronger.
This was a prospect that she found satisfactory in every aspect.
The two didn’t talk, quietly adjusting their breaths, and before long, Ji Sisi ca out, stretching her limbs.
“Morning, Mr. Nian, morning, Lian Qing.”
“Good morning, how did you sleep?”
Nian Shutong’s question made Ji Sisi scratch her head and say, “Very well, I didn’t dream at all.”
Nian Shutong watched the carefree Ji Sisi and didn’t say much more.
After Ji Sisi had washed up, she went in to wake up Dou Dou and the four of them got ready and had breakfast made by Master Fan.
After eating, they prepared to head out.
“Lian Qing, don’t call Boss anymore.”
Nian Shutong didn’t want to expose herself again because of a title.
The last ti, she and Lian Qing had worn masks, so this ti, having removed their masks, they shouldn’t be recognized.
They were just two people with good looks.
“Understood, Mr. Nian.”
Lian Qing simply followed Ji Sisi and called Mr. Nian, and Nian Shutong found nothing inappropriate about it, she nodded her head and walked out the door first.
The four of them took the elevator down to the lobby, where many people were heading towards the building across the street, bustling with little commotion.
Nian Shutong simply picked up Dou Dou and told him, “Hold onto Little Pink Pig tightly.”
“Got it, auntie.”
Dou Dou was sowhat happy in Nian Shutong’s arms, obediently being held, and the group followed the crowd out of the building.
Ji Tiantian, who ca down two minutes later, couldn’t find Ji Sisi, or rather, she wasn’t sure whether the person was Ji Sisi.
Regardless, she still headed to the competition first, and if it really was them, they would certainly et.
At that mont, Nian Shutong, holding Dou Dou with Lian Qing following behind, went to the spectator seats, while Ji Sisi went to the competition area with her contest cha.
“Mom, good luck!”
“Best of luck.”
“Ji Sisi, don’t forget to win the prize money for !”
