"You said the poison you were given was by the Feng family, right?" Seeing him like this, Ji Xingmi didn't want to dwell on it any longer and directly stated what she knew: "My grandfather, maternal grandfather, even Brother Ye Yu, they were all poisoned with the same medicine as you. So, can I reasonably suspect that it was the Feng family who poisoned them?"
Feng Changze seemed to process this and said, "That's them, it has nothing to do with me! I've already cut ties with them."
"Then what if, one day, I poison them too?"
"You think I'll avenge them? I won't, really," Feng Changze quickly explained.
With things at this point, Ji Xingmi didn't know what else to say. "Feng Changze, I..."
"You don't need to say anything, I know. Xing'er, I won't. You believe me! You should go back first, I'm a bit tired." Without waiting for Ji Xingmi's reply, he stumbled towards his room.
Ji Xingmi originally wanted to call him back, but he ran too fast, and she couldn't reach him. On the way back, Ji Xingmi was lost in thought, making her unusually silent. Little Chicken and Mushroom didn't know what had happened and didn't know how to ask her. When the three of them arrived home, they saw Uncle Han playing with Aunt Ji in the yard.
Seeing the two of them getting along well, Ji Xingmi didn't disturb them and went upstairs. The two of them didn't notice Ji Xingmi at all; to be precise, Ji Mingyi didn't notice her niece. Han Dong saw her, and since she didn't come over, he naturally didn't say anything to disrupt the atmosphere. Kuaishuge.
Back in her room, Ji Xingmi did nothing but lie on her bed in a daze. Her mind kept replaying the scene just now, Feng Changze's pale face and his forlorn expression. She couldn't forget it.
Before she could figure anything out, there was a knock on her door. Ji Xingmi snapped back to reality and realized the sky had already darkened.
When Ji Xingmi came downstairs, Han Dong teased her, "Were you sleeping?"
Ji Xingmi shook her head. Han Dong probably sensed she was troubled and asked, "Did you argue with that Gu family boy?"
Ji Xingmi answered quickly, "No!"
"Then what's wrong? Tell your Uncle Han, and he'll give you some advice!"
Hearing this, Ji Xingmi rolled her eyes at Han Dong. "Not yet!"
"You will be sooner or later. Come on, what happened? If you don't say it now, you won't have the chance later!"
"If Auntie didn't like you and rejected you, would you still be friends with her?"
"Yes, being friends is good too! Wasn't that what she did before? This question doesn't apply to me!"
"Why?"
"I love her. Even if she rejected me, I can't help but love her. So as long as she wants, I can stand by her as a friend and watch her be happy!"
Ji Xingmi didn't quite understand this kind of love and asked doubtfully, "Isn't that... cruel? To be friends with someone when you don't like them?"
"How to put it? In simpler terms, a thousand gold can't buy my willingness! Even if your aunt rejects me, no one can stop me from doing what I'm willing to do, right? It's a personal choice!" Ji Xingmi listened, half understanding, and kept thinking about what the right thing to do was.
"Did you fall for someone else, or did another man fall for you?" Han Dong asked, smiling at her.
"It's none of your business. Also, what you just said, Auntie heard it. Now Auntie's left, aren't you going to chase after her?" Ji Xingmi gave him a glare and then calmly poured herself a glass of water.
Hearing her words, Han Dong looked back and indeed saw Ji Mingyi hurrying away. He quickly got up and chased after her. Ji Mingxue came in from outside and saw the two of them, one running and one chasing, unable to be called back. He wondered what they were up to. Seeing Ji Xingmi watching, he asked her, "Why is your aunt running?"
"I don't know! Maybe I'll have an uncle soon!?"
"Ah?" Ji Mingxue looked back again; the two had already disappeared. It had only been a short while, and she was already taken. "Where's your mother?"
"Don't know, seems like she hasn't returned yet. Big brother hasn't returned either!"
"Hmm? This kid has been coming home late these days, I wonder what he's busy with?"
"Hmm? Brother's spring has arrived, good things are probably happening soon!"
Ji Mingxue was even more confused. Spring? It's autumn now, almost winter? Good things are happening soon? Good things are happening soon!!!
"Your brother is dating someone?" Ji Mingxue exclaimed.
"Who's dating someone?" Just then, Ji's mother, who had just entered the house, overheard it. Ji Haocheng was right behind Ji's mother; they had returned together, and he had also heard it.
Hearing the voice, Ji Mingxue turned around and saw the gossip himself. He directly asked, "Haocheng, have you found a partner?"
Now Ji's mother also heard clearly and looked back at her eldest son curiously. When did this happen? The young lady from the hospital?
"No, Dad, don't listen to Sister talking nonsense!"
