Translator: 549690339

The Ji Family’s backyard.

Song Zhizhi and Xin Zaozao were strolling in the garden.

Xin Zaozao couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Ji Family’s house is really big. I thought mine was quite large, but it’s nothing compared to this.”

Song Zhizhi nodded, “I felt the same way when I first saw it.”

“Mr. Ji… ahem.” Xin Zaozao paused, seeming a bit embarrassed. “Your husband should be okay now, right? Seeing him always in his wheelchair and struggling to go upstairs…” “He’s fine, he won’t die,” Song Zhizhi laughed, “Mischievous as ever.”

“Who talks about their husband like that?”

“You obviously don’t know Ji Baijian, that old man…” Song Zhizhi paused for a moment.

Xin Zaozao looked at her.

“It’s an affectionate nickname between spouses,” Song Zhizhi explained.

Xin Zaozao laughed, a bashful smile on her face.

“Funny enough, we’ve suddenly become sisters-in-law,” Song Zhizhi laughed, finding life unpredictable indeed.

In her last life, she just watched Xin Zaozao from afar.

The Xin Zaozao from her previous life probably didn’t remember her at all.

In this life, they had suddenly become so involved with each other.

Xin Zaozao nodded, “Yeah, I didn’t expect this.”

All her life, she hadn’t even imagined she would end up here.

“You and Ji Baili seem to have a pretty good relationship. He’s really nice to you,” Song Zhizhi changed the subject.

“He really is great,” Xin Zaozao gave a very affirmative answer. “Do you like him now?” Song Zhizhi asked curiously.

Xin Zaozao was taken aback.

As to liking him, she had not given it much thought.

She fell silent.

Song Zhizhi led her to sit in the Ji Family’s garden.

When thinking of this place, the exciting times she had with Ji Baijian made her blush.

Xin Zaozao and Song Zhizhi sat on loungers side by side. Xin Zaozao murmured, not wanting to hide anything from Song Zhizhi, “Actually, for me, whether I like him or not isn’t that important anymore.”

“Mmm,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

She felt the same when she was framed and had to start her life over again.

After being hurt, she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

Xin Zaozao said, “I may not like Ji Baili yet, or maybe I like him a little, I’m not sure. I don’t want to force it. I want to let things happen naturally. I’m not against him now, and I know I’ll be as good to him as he is to me, but emotions, they’re hard to define.”

“Do you still like Mu Cidian?” Song Zhizhi asked, being very straightforward. “No, I don’t.” Xin Zaozao’s tone was firm, “All that’s left is resentment.”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

The Xin Zaozao from her last life didn’t have much to do with Mu Cidian in the end.

And towards the end, Mu Cidian…

Her memories were a bit blurry now. She just remembered that at some point, Mu Cidian’s name was nowhere to be seen in their circle.

She then changed the topic, “Actually, the Ji Family is quite decent.”

Xin Zaozao looked at her, a bit surprised.

Song Zhizhi laughed and explained, “I entered the Ji Family before you did, so as your elder sister-in-law, I can share some things with you.” Elder sister-in-law…

Xin Zaozao was still a bit uncomfortable with that.

Song Zhizhi was half a year younger than her.

Her birthday was very close to Ji Baili’s, with Ji Baili being only 23 days older.

“I used to think that in such a high -society family like the Ji’s, given that it’s a remarried family with issues of eldest and younger sons, the family must be full of schemes and struggles. However, surprisingly, the Ji’s are unusually united. Ji Yunlei, needless to say, certainly hopes for the family to help each other and naturally doesn’t want to see any scheming. As for Zhang Qingmei, after what my stepmother did to me, I was convinced that she would be manipulative and annoying. However, she’S not. I admit she has her little tricks, probably because she felt looked down upon ever since she entered this family, so she desperately wanted to possess something to make up for her lack. But she’s not bad-hearted or petty, just a typical mother wanting her son to excel and be better than others.”

Xin Zaozao listened quietly.

During her encounter with Zhang Qingmei today, she did indeed seem friendlier than she had imagined.

“Let’s talk about the relationship between Ji Baijian and Ji Baili.” Song Zhizhi spoke to Xin Zaozao, “Put it this way, in Ji Baili’s eyes, Ji Baijian is like a god. It’s not that Baili worships Baijian, it’s just that he knows clearly that he can’t reach Baijian’s heights. Therefore, he doesn’t bother to compare himself with Baijian, and as a result, has surrendered to a certain level of self-abandonment and doesn’t wish to pursue overly.”

“I noticed that too. Baili’s drive for ambition isn’t too high.” “But rest assured, the Ji family will be Baili’s sooner or later.” “Huh?” Xin Zaozao was surprised.

“My husband won’t fight with him for the estate.” Song Zhizhi said. Xin Zaozao felt somewhat awkward. “I, I don’t mind, I am already very rich…”

Alright then.

Song Zhizhi could see she felt a bit offended.

She continued, “Ji Baixing will be more difficult to deal with. But don’t worry, this younger sister-in-law doesn’t cause trouble. In fact, she doesn’t have any ill thoughts; she just scoffs at everything about the Ji family. When I say she is difficult to handle, it’s merely because her emotions might cause some emotional imbalances in the Ji family in the future. By then, when you marry in, according to the current situation, you should be living in the Ji family villa. If the issues with Baixing make the family unhappy, you can choose to simply watch from the side lines. After all, Baixing has her own thoughts that no one can change!”

Xin Zaozao let out a laugh.

Song Zhizhi hasn’t been married for long, but she seems to understand everyone very well. Her depiction of each individual was quite accurate.

“Baixing and Yin Qin don’t have a good relationship do they?” Xin Zaozao occasionally enjoyed gossips.

“It’s not just bad, it’s very bad.” Song Zhizhi said, “Baixing has always hated Yin Qin. However, I don’t think she is wrong; if you don’t like someone, you shouldn’t give them any hope. Although it seems Baixing hates Yin Qin, I actually appreciate her attitude towards Yin Qin, only her eyes are not so pleasant.”

“Do you think Yin Qin is good?” Xin Zaozao asked. “Anyway, not bad. Moreover, his love for Baixing is deep-seated.” “But love can’t be forced; it’s not one-sided.”

“That’s why we didn’t persuade them much.” Song Zhizhi stated.

Xin Zaozao nodded in agreement. At that moment, she sincerely thanked Song Zhizhi for sharing all this information with her.

Song Zhizhi was probably worried that someone like her who has grown up alone might not be able to adapt to such a large family in a short time.

But she is not the same as before.

Before, she would reject and hide herself, but now she doesn’t. She will try to fit in.

People only improve when they are under pressure.

“I’ve always thought you’d end up alone for the rest of your life.” Song Zhizhi suddenly opened her mouth.

Xin Zaozao stared at her.

Does she look so miserable to others?

Song Zhizhi suddenly laughed, feeling that what she said was a bit comical. The former Xin Zaozao was so strong that she always felt any man who was with Zaozao would be eclipsed. So, when Xin Zaozao suddenly got engaged with Ji Baili, she felt it was so unexpected.

She said, “Now it seems having someone by your side is pretty good. Ji Baili is great, and his family circumstances are also good. And by circumstances, I don’t mean the wealth of his family, but it’s rare that in such a large family, there is no deceit or cunning!” ‘Yes.” Xin Zaozao nodded, “I suddenly feel very lucky.”

Song Zhizhi laughed.

Probably in Xin Zaozao’s mind at the moment, having someone sincerely by her side is the greatest luck.

The two continued to chat.

And who knows when, although the intersections in the lives of the two women were not deep, and they didn’t spend much time together, unconsciously , in the subconscious minds of both, it seemed they truly considered each other as friends, the most genuine and best kind of friends.

Meanwhile…

On the balcony upstairs…

Yin Qin was standing by the railing, smoking.

Ji Baijian was sitting on a couch on the side, reading a book. Yin Qin said, “Your wife seems to get along well with Xin Zaozao.”

“Hmm.” Ji Baijian replied.

“Speaking of Ji Baili, he is really capable. He found such a good girl and even suddenly got engaged. Things are proceeding faster than me!” Yin Qin said, finding it a bit displeasing.

Ji Baijian didn’t lift his head and responded, “Your IQis not high and your EQis low too, while Baili has good EQ.”

“Ji Baijian, am I really your best friend, the kind that sticks together through thick and thin?” Yin Qin snapped.

Ever since the time when he and Ji Baijian had gone to Beixia Country to rescue Song Zhizhi…

He had always positioned himself in the most important place in Ji Baijian’s heart.

Well then…

Perhaps only a little less important than Song Zhizhi.

Who asked Ji Baijian to be a man who favored love over friendship!

“Alright. You’re responsible for your own feelings, but the thing I told you about, taking over the management of Milky Way Media, you can’t ignore it. ” Ji Baijian reminded.

“I know!” Yin Qin was a bit impatient, “I just spent the whole day running around the world for you, I also need to rest, okay! I will assiduously go to work next Monday, okay?!”

“Mm,” Ji Baijian nodded.

“Ji Fox, are you planning something?” Yin Qin asked.

Ji Baijian did not respond, which was considered an admission.

“Are you going against Ye Taiting?” Yin Qin asked with some lingering fear.

Before he didn’t know the significance of commercial management.

But now, there is often someone else who wants to take them down. Their position in commercial management is simply unbearable.

“Is it still because of Song Zhizhi?! ” Yin Qin concluded. “Partially. But either way, Ye Taiting must die!” Ji Baijian said.

His tone was full of bloodlust.

Everytime Ye Taiting was mentioned, Ji Baijian’s face would suddenly shift.

Yin Qin was unsure of how Ji Baijian managed to hold such deep-seated resentment against Ye Taiting at such a young age.

He didn’t ask.

After all, he would just follow whatever Ji Baijian wanted to do.

In this life, Ji Baijian was the only person he respected, to the point of revere.

After finishing his smoke, Yin Qin took out his phone, disconnected from the world, and started playing a game.

As he turned on a mobile game, he asked, “Didn’t Song Zhizhi’s little wolf come today?”

“She didn’t come.” Ji Baijian replied.

There’s no need for her to, she can rest at home.

“I was planning on asking her to play a couple rounds of the game with me.” Yin Qin manipulated the interface on his phone, “That little wolf, not only does she possess incredible combat power, her gaming skills are also shockingly strong. I don’t know what kind of body she has, but I feel like Uncle Yan shouldn’t use you as the test subject, he should use Luo Xiaolang as the experiment…”

Yin Qin mumbled to himself as he played the game.

Ji Baijian couldn’t stand it and left the large balcony leaning on his cane.

Seeing Ji Baijian leave, Yin Qin sat on the Leisure Chair, casually playing his game.

When Song Zhizhi came back from the back garden, she saw Ji Baijian sitting at the bedside reading a book with a furrowed brow, while sounds of Yin Qin playing his game excitedly could be heard from the outside balcony.

When did Yin Qin come, by the way?!

This man never missed an opportunity to compete with her for her husband.

She approached Ji Baijian, “Why is Yin Qin here?”

“Nevermind him.”

“Are you tired?”

“Is my wife planning to sleep with me?”

“Mm.” Song Zhizhi climbed onto the bed.

She had been chatting with Zaozao for a while, and only came back after running into Ji Baili.

She leaned on Ji Baijian’s shoulder, looked at the classical text he was reading, and frowned, “Can you understand all these elegant expressions?” “Mm,” Ji Baijian nodded.

“Don’t they make your brain hurt?”

“My lady, when I was born, I was taught this type of arcana.” Ji Baijian explained.

“I’d forgotten.” Song Zhizhi was a bit annoyed, at that moment she smiled wickedly, “I’d forgotten, you could be my grandfather.”

“…” Someone’s face darkened, he retorted righteously, “It’s father!”

“Right, father!” Song Zhizhi laughed delightfully, wriggling her entire body onto Ji Baijian, shouting at him playfully, “Father Ji, should our future son call you Grandfather Ji…”

“Can you not be so blatant, I’m still here!” Yin Qin stood by the window on the outdoor balcony, looking expressionless.

Song Zhizhi hastily climbed off Ji Baijian.

Damn it.

She’d completely forgotten about Yin Qin!

This wretched Ji Baijian was too much of a distraction!

Yin Qin’S face was full of dissatisfaction, “Just now, I got my head blown off in a game, then I stood up to see Ji Baili and Xin Zaozao wandering through the back garden arm in arm, and then turned around to see you two calling each other dad…” Couldn’t he live his life in peace?

‘Yin Qin, are you jealous?” Song Zhizhi asked.

I wish!

“If no one wants you, I’ll let Ji Baijian take you in, and you can be his concubine. Is that okay?” Song Zhizhi teased.

“Leave!” Yin Qin was angry.

He walked fast towards the entrance, slammed their room door shut, and walked away looking annoyed.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi stared in the direction of the entrance.

Song Zhizhi laughed, and turned to Ji Baijian: “Does he want the position of the legal wife?”

“Yin Qin’s sexual orientation is very normal.”

She obviously knew it.

But.

She looked at him, “Ji Baijian, I suddenly feel like you’re really something.”

“Hm?” Ji Baijian raised his brows slightly.

“Were you dating Yin Qin for the sake of the Yin family’s business?

“I was then.” Ji Baijian answered honestly.

See, she knew it.

“Having Ji Baili and Xin Zaozao get engaged, is it also for the Xin family’s business?”

Ji Baijian nodded.

“Did you marry me because of my father’s position?” “…” Ji Baijian looked at Song Zhizhi.

Since he didn’t respond, it was considered an admission.

Song Zhizhi laughed, “According to your intelligence, sooner or later the entire Yanshang Country would be yours, right?”

He was too calculating.

‘What belongs to me, also belongs to my wife.” Ji Baijian emphasized word by word.

Before Song Zhizhi could reply,

Ji Baijian’s tone seemed to change, becoming so meaningful, “Or perhaps, it will belong to our… son.”

“When did I ever say I was going to have a son with you?” Song Zhizhi questioned. “Just now,” Ji Baijian reminded her, “You said you would call me grandpa…” “That was just casual talk. Who would want to be a mom at this young age… ah.”

Ji Baijian was always so unexpected.

Finally having a chance to breathe, Song Zhizhi spoke loudly, “Ji Baijian, don’t even think about having kids…”

“I’m not young anymore.” Ji Baijian responded seriously.

Song Zhizhi forgot, Ji Baijian was quite old!

Yin Qin left the room in frustration, and from a distance, he saw Ji Baixin changing his clothes to prepare to leave.

Yin Qin slouched down the stairs and walked out.

Ji Baixin also left.

Yin Qin got into his car.

Ji Baixin also got in his car.

Since Ji Baixing’s car was in the front, he left first.

Yin Qin followed him out.

He followed for quite a while.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yin Qin hit the accelerator and bombed past him, running a red light in the process.

Ji Baixin saw Yin Qin’s dangerous driving and furrowed his brows.

Yin Qin, through his rearview mirror, watched the car that was getting further and further away from him.

He was heading in this direction anyway, so if he followed for too long, Ji Baixin would probably find it repulsive.

In that case, he might as well leave by himself!
