Chapter 825: The Honey Badger

Physical attraction between men and women is just hormones; it has nothing to do with love and doesn't require heart.

She suddenly felt her aunt's life was so pathetic; she had probably never encountered love, and having many men without love is just as sad as having many women without love.

"What do you want with me? Speak."

She didn't want to criticize her aunt's private life either; even if she did, her aunt wouldn't listen.

Let it be; everyone has their own way of living.

"Sit, I'll brew you some tea myself." Ji Yingjie was in a good mood; it looked like she was prepared for a long talk.

Shi Youxuan: "I won't sit. I find this place dirty, and I won't drink the tea; pregnant women don't drink tea."

"Don't worry, just sit. I only let that Xiao Qing stay in the bedroom; he hasn't been here, so it's clean. If you won't drink tea, I can pour you plain water, that's fine, right?"

Ji Yingjie had great patience for her niece: "It's only because it's you; I wouldn't have such a good temper with anyone else..."

She brought over a soft cushion to help her niece lean back, making her sit more comfortably, and moved the sofa ottoman in front of her so she could rest her legs on it, which would be more comfortable.

The temperature of the plain water was also warm and slightly hot, just right.

Ji Yingjie had never served anyone in her life; she was used to being served, so she wasn't used to serving others suddenly, and she was clumsy with everything.

Shi Youxuan was equally unaccustomed to it; she was even more uncomfortable and said repeatedly: "Please sit, you don't need to busy yourself for me, I can do it myself..."

"No, you're pregnant, don't move."

No matter how clumsy she was, this little bit of work didn't take long, and it was finished in a moment.

The two sat down facing each other, and Ji Yingjie said mysteriously: "Guess what I came here for?"

Shi Youxuan: "I don't know, I can't guess."

She had originally thought her aunt had come all the way to Jiangzhou to cause trouble at Shi Yuke's wedding, but upon further thought, that shouldn't be it.

Although Shi Yuke had once "usurped the throne," she had actually been part of her aunt's plan from the very beginning and had never escaped her control.

To put it bluntly, Shi Yuke was nothing more than a chess piece.

Ji Yingjie wouldn't come all the way to Jiangzhou specifically for her; Shi Yuke didn't carry enough weight for Ji Yingjie to go to such trouble!

"Those two brats of Zhu Yiwen didn't escape on their own; they had an inside accomplice." A flash of ruthlessness crossed Ji Yingjie's eyes.

"It was my carelessness. I didn't even discover that Zhu Qingrui's own mother had been lurking in the Ji Family for over a decade. How hateful."

"Once I catch them, I will definitely mince them into meat paste; not one can be left behind."

Shi Youxuan was shocked and speechless.

What was shocking was that Zhu Qingrui's own mother had actually run off to the Ji Family; life, truly, is full of unexpected encounters.

"That woman who kept a diary?"

"What?"

This wasn't exactly a secret, so Shi Youxuan told her about preparing to build the Club and discovering the diary and letters in the wall cavity.

Ji Yingjie's eyes lit up: "Where are the things? Let me see."

Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to set a condition: "It's no problem to let you see them, but you must guarantee that you won't kill them when you catch them."

Ji Yingjie:...

She didn't say she agreed, nor did she say she didn't.

She just said vaguely: "You don't even admit you're a member of the Ji Family, so don't interfere with the Ji Family's internal affairs."

"By the way, when are you going to change your surname?"

Shi Youxuan:...

Bringing up the name change again?

Ji Yingjie didn't just bring it up again; she was harping on it.

She stopped talking about the woman and aimed her target at her niece: "I'm telling you, Xuanxuan, show me your ID card next time we meet. If you don't change your surname, I won't let this go. I, Ji Yingjie, hate people who don't keep their word the most. You'd better believe I'm capable of doing anything."

Shi Youxuan believed it; she believed it all too well.

The conversation ended on a sour note.

Back home, she locked herself in the Study to think of a solution, and she actually came up with one.

Make a fake one.

She entrusted this matter to Jian Yining, and it was done in a minute.

The next time Shi Youxuan went to see Ji Yingjie, she brought the fake ID card openly.

"Ji Youxuan, not bad, this name sounds good, it really sounds so good, hahahahaha."

She was very pleased and wanted to take a photo.

"What are you doing?" Shi Youxuan felt guilty and snatched the ID card back.

Ji Yingjie was displeased and ordered: "Bring it here. I'm going to post it on Twitter to let that old lady see that I won this round."

The old lady referred to Jin Laofuren.

For the convenience of arguing and PK-ing at any time, the two even added each other's contact information because they felt meeting in person was too short.

Shi Youxuan:...

"No, you can't send it to my grandmother. Think about it, if you send it over, what if grandmother demands that the child in my belly take the Jin Family name? The Ji Family would still be at a loss."

Ji Yingjie thought about it, felt it made sense, and gave up.

"Alright, you go back; I'm a bit tired and need to rest."

Issuing an eviction order?

She must have new findings about that woman.

"Do you have news about the whereabouts of the Zhu Qingxiang brothers?"

Ji Yingjie covered it up: "No. Jiangzhou is your territory; if you haven't found them, where would I look? Don't worry, if I have news, I'll tell you. This kind of thing can't be hidden even if I wanted to."

Shi Youxuan wanted to say more, but Ji Yingjie had already lost patience.

"Go home, you should go home. You're pregnant now and shouldn't be overexerting yourself. Hurry home and get some rest."

She had been "kicked" out.

Her aunt definitely hadn't told her the truth.

Shi Youxuan had originally planned to come back in the afternoon, but as soon as she arrived home, she received a WeChat message from her aunt—it was a photo of her at the airport with a line of text below: I'm heading back, bye-bye.

It was just that straightforward.

The third day of Yuke's marriage.

Ordinarily, today should have been the day for the bride to return to her parents' home, but since they were already living together, whether she returned or not was essentially the same!

Shi Yucheng called his other two daughters and asked them to come back for a reunion dinner.

If their husbands were busy, they didn't have to come, but it would be best if the daughters could make it.

The two of them brought their children over.

Jian Yixin arrived a bit earlier, and she had dressed Moli up to look very handsome.

Everyone had an unspoken agreement: whenever Moli was present, they would almost always avoid topics related to Yuke.

After all, the relationship between them was complicated, so it was best to mention it as little as possible.

Yet Jian Yixin would intentionally or unintentionally bring the child close to Yuke, letting the two of them have more contact.

Yuke was Moli's biological mother, but Moli knew nothing of this; he called her "Mom" and called his biological mother "Aunt."

Although others didn't feel there was anything improper about it, she always felt she owed Yuke.

"Hello Aunt, hello Xi Fu," Moli said very politely.

"Moli is here! That's great, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you all morning, why did you only just arrive?" Yuke was happy at first, then became a little sad.

She liked Moli.

She wanted to have more contact with that child, but her father wouldn't allow it.

Every time she brought it up, her father would get angry and shout at her loudly: "Why are you playing with someone else's child? They are a child and you are an adult; you aren't the same age and can't play together."

Yuke: "That's not true, I feel Moli is very endearing..."

"I said no, and that's final. Also, from now on, you are not allowed to praise Moli in front of others, especially in front of Yixin. If I find out you haven't listened, I'll kick you out and you can sleep on the street."
