Chapter 1071: Wang Yingzhi Goes to the Ji Family

"Oh, Xuanxuan, stop teasing me. Those were all just me bragging. If others don't know, surely you do? I am all alone and helpless; how am I supposed to live if I don't find myself a backer?"

"Although Hanyu isn't my biological son, he has called me 'Mom' for so many years. It's not like the grace of raising isn't greater than the grace of giving birth; it's not excessive for me to say Hanyu is my son." Fearing she had spoken too definitively and would find it hard to continue taking advantage of the Sheng Family later, Wang Yingzhi hurriedly tried to pull her words back.

Shi Youxuan wore a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes: "So, are you a widow or not? If you aren't a widow, you can't go."

Wang Yingzhi became even more certain that what she would be guarding at the Ji Family was the Treasure.

She had heard about the Ji Family having a Treasure back when she was in Prison; it was said the Ji Family had countless diamonds, gold bars, and priceless calligraphy, paintings, and antiques.

At the time, she had listened to it as a pastime story, never imagining that one day she would be this close to the Treasure!

She had to seize this opportunity.

Wang Yingzhi was resolute, saying as if taking an oath: "I am a widow, I am a widow. Hanyu and I have absolutely no relationship; he is Wang Yinghao's son, and I am Wang Yinghao's older sister."

"You are too fickle. Just saying it verbally, I don't believe you. How about... write a statement."

"Fine."

For the sake of the Treasure, she was going all out.

The statement was finished quickly. Wang Yingzhi signed her name and hurriedly asked: "When can I go to guard the trea... warehouse?"

Shi Youxuan said unhurriedly: "What's the rush? You've only met the first condition; the remaining conditions haven't been met yet."

Wang Yingzhi:...

"How are there still conditions? Why didn't you say them all at once just now?"

She looked innocent: "I wanted to finish saying them just now, but wasn't I interrupted by you? You are someone who does wrong yourself, so why do you always blame it on others? This habit is not good. My aunt doesn't like people who complain and shirk responsibility when doing things. If you don't even want to take responsibility for this little matter, if things go missing or are lost in the warehouse you guard later, will you also not take responsibility or admit it?"

Wang Yingzhi was speechless once again.

Forget it, swallow this bitter pill; if one does not endure small things, one will spoil great plans.

"Are there any more? Say them all at once."

Shi Youxuan: "There are. The person my aunt wants must have good character. After arriving at the Ji Family, you must follow the Ji Family's rules and listen to my aunt."

Wang Yingzhi had learned to be smart; she asked weakly: "Are there many rules in the Ji Family?"

"A lot. The Ji Family honors women above all. Women can have three husbands and four concubines, while men must be loyal to one person for life."

"Whatever the women of the Ji Family do is right, whatever they say is right. Men are the slaves of women, and women's words must be obeyed..."

The more she said, the brighter the light in Wang Yingzhi's eyes became; she wished she could fly to the Ji Family immediately.

She hadn't expected there to be such a wonderful place in the world?

These weren't rules; these were privileges.

"I'll go, I'll go! Xuanxuan, you must talk to your aunt properly and get her to agree to let me guard the warehouse."

She knew how wealthy Ji Yingjie was.

She still had a vivid memory of how generous Ji Yingjie was with her spending!

If she could go to the Ji Family, it would be like falling into a nest of fortune.

"Let me ask my aunt if she agrees."

Shi Youxuan dialed her aunt's number in front of Wang Yingzhi: "Hello, Aunt, I've found a candidate for you. Wang Yingzhi is willing to go; do you think she'll do?"

Wang Yingzhi pricked up her ears to listen to what was being said on the other end, but she couldn't hear it very clearly. Anyway, looking at Shi Youxuan's expression, the other party seemed to be hesitating and not very willing.

Shi Youxuan was quite good; without needing a reminder, she took the initiative to put in a good word for her: "Aunt, I feel she is suitable. The people she is closest to are us, so she can be trusted."

"Yes, yes, yes, I can be trusted..."

Shi Youxuan placed her index finger on her lips, making a shushing gesture to tell her not to make a sound.

She hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, not daring to interrupt again.

Finally, Ji Yingjie agreed.

"It's settled. Get ready; there will be a car coming to pick you up tonight."

Wang Yingzhi was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! Thank you, Xuanxuan, thank you."

Wang Yingzhi was leaving, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

The parting scene was still quite warm. Lady Qi had the servants prepare a very sumptuous meal, and everyone gathered together for a farewell banquet to see Wang Yingzhi off.

The Qi Family presented very generous gifts to thank her for her outstanding performance this time.

This was probably the first time in her life Wang Yingzhi had been praised. She felt a bit unaccustomed to it, but it was also the first time she felt that being a good person—was actually quite nice.

Good rewards also have an expiration date; if you don't use them now, they'll be wasted once they expire.

"Lady Qi, if I have nowhere else to turn in the future, considering that I saved your son's life, you will definitely take me in, right?"

"Of course..."

Lady Qi was just about to agree when Shi Youxuan tugged on her lapel, so the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.

Shi Youxuan swapped places with Lady Qi and said to Wang Yingzhi with a smile: "Look at you, how could you even forget the customs of Jiangzhou? You shouldn't say unlucky things before leaving. Drink."

"Don't stop me, this matter is very important."

"Do you not trust my aunt? You haven't even gone yet and you're already looking for a way out for yourself. Since you don't trust her, then don't go. I'll have my aunt find someone else." She then closed her mouth dejectedly and did not pursue it further.

After the meal, the car sent by the Ji Family to pick up Wang Yingzhi arrived. She carried her two large suitcases and got into the car to leave.

With Wang Yingzhi gone, Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan also said their goodbyes, preparing to return to Jiangzhou.

Lady Qi disagreed: "It's too late. Why are you in such a rush to go back? Stay and keep me company for a few days before leaving."

Shi Youxuan smiled: "If it weren't for that person, we should have gone back days ago. We haven't been home for over a month; I don't know if the boys at home have turned the place upside down yet."

Lady Qi: "I know you have many things to do, but one day won't make a difference, right? Tomorrow the two of us can go out shopping, come back and have a good talk, and you can go back the day after tomorrow morning."

"Forget about shopping. We can talk anytime; even when I go back, we can talk over video chat. We must leave now."

Shi Youxuan's heart was set on returning home, so Lady Qi couldn't keep her.

Early morning.

Jiangzhou Airport.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and a touch of fish-belly white tinged with red rose in the east.

Shi Youxuan walked out of the cabin door and took a blissful breath of fresh air.

"It's so good; the feeling of being home is still the best."

Having not returned for over a month, now that she saw the land of Jiangzhou, she felt a sense of intimacy everywhere.

Sheng Hanyu said in a muffled voice, "If only Ranran could think the same way as you."

The child Sheng Hanyu loved most was Shi Ran; his daughter was thoughtful and sensible, and she was also the child most like him.

It was a pity that a daughter grown up cannot be kept; once her wings were strong, she flew away.

Because they arrived early, they did not notify the family and went straight home.

"The Sir and Madam are back?"

The servant opened the door and shouted in surprise, "Old Madam, Master, the Sir and Madam are back."

Wang Yinghao ran out from the kitchen, too excited to know what to say.

She hugged Shi Youxuan and looked her over: "Good child, why didn't you say a word when you came back? I could have gone to Jiangzhou Airport to pick you up..."
