Chapter 582

"Ahem, hello Brother Su Ming," she said hurriedly.

Su Ming could tell what the girl was thinking through some subtle expressions.

He hadn't expected her to be a tsundere brother-con.

He chuckled inwardly.

"Mm, hello Xiao Miao," he replied with a smile, not pointing it out.

Yan Ze's expression returned to seriousness as he said: "Ji Yao and her family are inside, and Yunqing is here too."

The three walked into the house and saw several people sitting in front of a square table.

Ji Yao and Jiang Yunqing looked toward Su Ming immediately.

"Su Ming, the situation is not optimistic," Ji Yao said, standing up immediately.

There was some worry in her dark red eyes.

"The Zhang family's search methods are too powerful; I really don't know how to protect my parents and grandmother…"

"Rest assured, I will solve it," Su Ming said, his eyes firm.

His words were like a stabilizing needle; once spoken, everyone felt much more at ease.

Su Ming's expression was solemn as he looked at Ji Yao's parents.

"Uncle, Auntie, Ji Yao should have told you about the situation, right?"

Ji Yao's father sat at the table, his hands crossed, his eyes solemn.

"Yes."

"I have a general understanding; you… have offended the long-standing and massive Zhang family."

As he spoke, his eyes turned toward Jiang Yunqing.

"And this beautiful young lady is the former second young lady of the famous Jiang'an Consortium."

"I didn't expect you to be able to know such big figures as friends; you certainly have ability…" Ji Chenlin sighed, seemingly lamenting the impermanence of the world.

He and his wife were just two ordinary blacksmiths, and their talent was also poor; to this day, they only had the cultivation of the Third Turn.

How could his daughter have the ability to offend the massive Zhang family!

Jiang Yunqing gave a bitter smile upon hearing this.

"Uncle, I am not a big figure at all; my family has been wiped out, and now I am all alone."

"Only Ji Yao, Yan Ze, and Su Ming are my friends; apart from them, I have nothing left." Afterward, a hint of self-reproach flashed in her eyes.

"Actually, in the end, this is my fault; if it weren't for protecting me, how would they have been targeted by the Zhang family…" she said, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.

She endured and suppressed all her emotions in her heart.

She knew she would soon face the reproaches of Ji Yao's parents.

After all, it was because of her that their daughter was in danger.

And she could not show any sadness; this was something she should have borne, and besides, she was much stronger than she had been before.

There were no parents in the world who would want their daughter to be in danger.

However, unexpectedly, Ji Chenlin just gave a bitter smile.

"Hehe… little girl. You are not wrong; the one who is wrong is the Zhang family."

"In this world, there are many dark things; I have long since become accustomed to them."

"When the blacksmith shop that my wife and I operated for ten years was forcibly seized by people from a big family, I already knew that life in this world is difficult."

"It's just that I really didn't expect you to be able to cause so much trouble."

Hearing these words, Jiang Yunqing's face was shocked; she hadn't expected Uncle Ji to be so open-minded!

Subsequently, Ji Chenlin looked at Ji Yao, his eyes becoming earnest.

"Xiao Yao, you have done very well."

"In a moment of crisis, you still did not abandon your friends; this is the daughter of Ji Chenlin."

As he spoke, he stood up.

Everyone present was somewhat moved.

Only Su Ming's mouth curled slightly.

Ji Yao's personality was so perfect; this naturally had an inseparable connection to her upbringing.

Therefore, he had long guessed that Ji Yao's parents must be very… very good people.

"This world is full of evil people; my daughter, Ji Yao, is one of the few who has the courage to be a righteous person."

"This matter is enough for me to be proud of for a lifetime!"

His temples were gray, and he had toiled for decades; being able to raise this daughter was his proudest achievement.

At this time, Ji Yao's mother, Liu Rong, also stood up and supported Ji Chenlin, saying:

"Xiao Yao, actually, your father, grandmother, and I are all very gratified that you could make such a decision."

"Don't worry; we only hope you can live without regrets and do the things you like." ===== CHAPTER 584 =====
