Ji Ran sat in the passenger seat. He watched the dark metal door slowly open but he didn't move.

The door was painted a deep, solemn black. It was clear to see it had been properly taken care of.

This was the Ji family; even a door must be attended to.

"Young Master Ji." The steward he'd seen at the villa was standing near the door. Watching the unmoving door, he went forward to greet him. "Young Master Ji? Let me take you to the garage."

Ji Ran retracted his gaze and hummed a reply. Indeed, without the steward to lead the way, he wouldn't be able to find the garage.

This villa was very big but the only one who could live here was Ji Guo Zheng. According to what he knew, Ji Wei had moved out once he became an adult and the lady of the household also left after separating from her husband.

After parking his car, Ji Ran followed the steward in.

The first time he came, he had been a child who didn't know how to speak. He couldn't remember much of his childhood, only that his mother had been anxious. The hand holding him had been very tight which caused him to cry uncontrollably.

After that incident, he never returned to this place.

"Mr. Ji," On the way, the steward asked, "Would you like a cup of coffee or something else? I will let someone bring it in a while."

"No need."

He would be leaving soon.

"I think it's better to have a cup of coffee. Are half sugar and half milk alright?" The steward smiled as if they were old friends.

"... Whatever."

The steward sent him to the door and knocked twice before Ji Guo Zheng's voice came from within. "Come in."

Ji Ran's feelings for his father were very complicated.

They weren't close. Aside from the number of times they'd spoken, even the number of times they'd met each other could be counted on the fingers of one hand. His impression of Ji Guo Zheng's appearance had begun to fade since their last meeting at the wedding.

But it also wasn't as if they had no relationship. At the very least, he had the same blood as Ji Guo Zheng. His appearance bore some resemblance to him and even his name was given to him by Ji Guo Zheng.

Although Ji Guo Zheng never went to visit him, he'd arranged his schools and gave him a monthly allowance. Over the years, this amount could be considered quite a sum. He knew that the old madam Ji had a part in this but Ji Guo Zheng was also very responsible.

Ji Ran naturally resisted this family but he was not an ungrateful person. He was clear that he was unable to repay everything he owed to Ji Guo Zheng as of now.

So he came.

The middle-aged man sat in front of the desk in a full suit. With a pair of glasses, he appeared rather elegant.

"You're here." Ji Guo Zheng didn't even look up. "Take a seat."

Ji Ran sat at the guest sofa by the side.

Ji Guo Zheng pointed to the chair opposite him. "Sit in front of me."

10 minutes later, Ji Guo Zheng finally looked up after he had finished reading the report.

When he saw Ji Ran, he couldn't help but frown.

"Why did you mess your hair up like this? What do you think it looks like?"
