After Breaking Off the Engagement, a Cold Military Officer Spoils Me Endlessly

C186 - C188

Hearing the footsteps, Mr. Zhu and Zhu Yunchang turned their heads at the same time and saw Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei slowly walking into the reception room.
　　
　　When Mr. Zhu's eyes fell on Ling Xuemei's beautiful face, he was slightly startled, and a sense of intimacy surged in his heart.
　　
　　He stared at Ling Xuemei's eyes. Like, really like, these eyes made him feel as if he saw his beloved wife who had passed away many years ago.
　　
　　Zhu Yunchang was also stunned when he saw Ling Xuemei, but he quickly denied his fleeting guess. The woman in front of him just happened to look a bit like his mother. There are many similar people in this world, and it is impossible that she looks like his younger sister.
　　
　　"Dad! Are you looking for me?" Ling Yao smiled and looked at Ji Yanting.
　　
　　Ji Yanting nodded slightly and pointed at Mr. Zhu and Zhu Yunchang, "They are here to apologize to you." Having decided to break up with the Zhu family, he naturally would not give them any good face. Who made them bully his daughter? As a father, he must help his daughter.
　　
　　"Oh?" Ling Yao raised her eyebrows with interest, her beautiful eyes turned with a hint of teasing, and turned her eyes to Mr. Zhu and Zhu Yunchang.
　　
　　Zhu Yunchang forced a smile on his face, looking a little embarrassed and unnatural. If it were in the past, he would not take a little girl like Ling Yao seriously.
　　
　　But now the three major families, Ji family, Lu family, and Chu family, are dealing with their Zhu family together, forcing them to put down their status and come to apologize in person.
　　
　　"I have already checked what happened today. It is indeed our Zhu family that did something wrong, so my father and I came to visit you specially to apologize to you."
　　
　　As he said, he stood up, picked up an exquisite box on the table, walked to Ling Yao, and handed it to her, "It contains a set of jade jewelry, I hope you will like it."
　　
　　He opened the jewelry box and let Ling Yao see the jewelry inside.
　　
　　This set of jade jewelry is their Zhu family's heirloom, which is usually regarded as a treasure and is not easily shown to others. Now that he had given it away, he felt really bad. But the Ji family, like their Zhu family, was a big family in Beijing, and they didn't care about ordinary gifts.
　　
　　Moreover, if they didn't show a little sincerity this time to get Ling Yao's forgiveness, it wouldn't be long before their Zhu family would be removed from the big families in Beijing. So they could only reluctantly give it up.
　　
　　After this crisis is over, they will get back the debt sooner or later.
　　
　　Ling Yao glanced at the jewelry box lightly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Since you two are so sincere, then I won't refuse." Over the years, the Zhu family has wanted to kill them more than once, and now it is only natural for them to accept these things.
　　
　　Zhu Yunchang looked at the jewelry box with a distressed face, "What about what happened today..."
　　
　　"I didn't take it to heart." Ling Yao replied with a smile. The people who wanted to deal with the Zhu family were the Ji family, the Lu family, and the Chu family. What does it have to do with her?
　　
　　Hearing this, Zhu Yunchang and Mr. Zhu both breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you Miss Ji for your magnanimity."
　　
　　Then, they chatted with Mr. Ji Yanting for a few words, then got up and said goodbye and left the Ji family.
　　
　　"Yaoyao, why did you forgive the Zhu family so easily?" Ji Yanting looked at Ling Yao with disapproval. Although this set of jewelry is indeed good, the Ji family is not without it.
　　
　　
Ling Yao blinked, a sly smile flashed across her face, "Dad, I never said I would forgive them, they misunderstood. Moreover, with the narrow-minded and revengeful personality of the Zhu family, if they are given a chance to turn things around, it will definitely bring endless troubles to the Ji family in the future. Since they have already started this time, let's just go all out and let them never turn things around."
　　
　　Ji Yanting couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I thought you really forgave the Zhu family, you little bad guy." If it was just their Ji family, they would definitely not be able to deal with the Zhu family, but now it's different. In addition to the Ji family, there are also the Lu family and the Chu family.
　　
　　"I'm just charging a little interest." Ling Yao showed a sly smile and gently shook the jewelry box in her hand.
　　
　　"You!" Ji Yanting shook his head helplessly, his eyes full of pampering. He reached out and gently rubbed Ling Yao's hair.
　　
　　Old Master Ji, who was standing by, also showed a look of relief and joy in his eyes. When Ling Yao accepted the Zhu family's jewelry before, he thought she was a shallow-minded person. Now he realized that he had misunderstood. His granddaughter was not only not shallow-minded, but also smart and scheming. As expected of the descendant of their Ji family, she was really extraordinary.
　　
　　Ling Xuemei was a little uneasy. Just after meeting Old Master Zhu and Zhu Yunchang, an indescribable strange feeling lingered in her heart and could not be shaken off. This feeling was indescribable.
　　
　　"Xuemei." Ji Yanting called several times in succession.
　　
　　Ling Xuemei came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, "Did you call me?"
　　
　　"What's wrong with you? Why are you absent-minded? Are you feeling unwell?" Ji Yanting looked at Ling Xuemei with concern.
　　
　　Ling Xuemei shook her head gently, "I'm fine. The food is ready, let's go eat first." Perhaps it was her disgust for the Zhu family that made her feel that strange.
　　
　　As soon as Mr. Zhu and Zhu Yunchang returned home, the phone on the table rang.
　　
　　Zhu Yunchang went forward to pick up the phone. After listening to what was said on the other end, he smiled and nodded, and put down the phone.
　　
　　"Dad! I found my little sister."
　　
　　"Really? Where is she?" Mr. Zhu was very excited. Sure enough, that Ling Xuemei was not his daughter.
　　
　　"She will be in Beijing tomorrow." Zhu Yunchang said happily. They have been looking for their sister for more than 40 years, and finally she is coming home.
　　
　　"Good, good." Mr. Zhu was extremely happy. His daughter was found, and his wife could rest assured in the underground.
　　
　　At this moment, a train was speeding on the rails, and the scenery outside the window kept changing like a movie.
　　
　　A middle-aged woman sitting by the window was excited, and her eyes were full of expectation and excitement. When she got off the train, she would be a city dweller. From then on, she would be able to enjoy a life of worry-free food and clothing, prosperity and wealth.
　　
　　And all these changes originated from an incident that happened three days ago.
　　
　　At that time, several strangers suddenly came to their village, saying they were looking for something, and showed a photo as a clue. Anyone who could provide the clue would get a generous reward.
　　
　　Of course, she was also tempted, so she went to see the photo. When she saw the photo, memories instantly flooded her mind. Wasn't what they were looking for the treasure that her parents left her?
