Chapter 130 President Ji is in a pretty deep situation.
At the door of Ji Yubai's room, Madam Ji heard footsteps coming from inside and immediately turned around and hurried downstairs.
She walked quickly, afraid that if she slowed down even a second, Fu Shengyang would catch her red-handed, which would affect her image as an elder among the younger generation.
Mrs. Ji returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, her back straight, her long neck held high, like a beautiful swan.
Footsteps came from the stairs. Madam Ji turned her head, her friendly smile masking her panic. "Sheng Yang, come and sit down."
Fu Shengyang hadn't visited the Ji family in a long time. Aunt Ji treated him very well. He was in a hurry to go back, and thinking that Xiaoyue probably hadn't woken up yet, he obediently sat down next to her.
"Is your mother alright?" Fu Shengyang asked with concern.
Mrs. Ji was a ballet dancer before she retired early due to a back injury. She then got married and had Ji Yubai.
However, dancing for many years inevitably leads to injuries. On rainy days, my lower back would feel uncomfortable, so I don't go out much and stay at home to take care of my health.
When Madam Ji heard Fu Shengyang's words, she was surprised, but even more so, she was moved. The usually cold and aloof Shengyang was now showing concern for people. It seemed that his wife was a very gentle and warm person.
"Thank you for thinking of your aunt, Sheng Yang. Your aunt is in good health, but it's just that Bai that's always arguing with the old man. I feel like the filling in a sandwich, it's really difficult for me."
Fu Shengyang knew about the Ji family's situation. The two elders had a son late in life, and they both wanted their only son, Ji Yubai, to settle down, start a family, and take over the family business as soon as possible.
That's why Ji Yubai was forced to go on blind dates with daughters of powerful and famous people of similar social standing.
The circle is too small. Even if you don't hang out together often, everyone knows what kind of person the other person is, so there aren't many people who can really click.
He didn't know if Ji Yubai would get what he wanted, but he had already said it. If Ji Yubai really liked Attorney Zhong, he should change his mind.
Fu Shengyang comforted Madam Ji, "Uncle and Yu Bai have always been like this. Don't worry too much. Things will gradually take a turn for the better."
They were all sensible people. Fu Shengyang had made himself so clear, how could Madam Ji not understand? "With Shengyang's words, your aunt feels at ease. If we give him a few more years, and he's still like this at thirty, your uncle and I will have no choice but to force him to accept it."
Madam Ji poured him some tea, saying, "Have something to eat. Bringing Yu Bai back is hard work."
Madam Ji then inquired about Old Master Fu's health and subtly brought up Sheng Yang's new wife.
When Madam Ji saw the tenderness in his eyes when he talked about his wife, she knew that Sheng Yang had married the right person, and as an elder, she was happy for him.
Fu Shengyang didn't stay long before leaving the Ji family with the beautifully packaged pastries.
On his way there and back, he made a stop at Songtao Garden to deliver the flower cakes given to him by Madam Ji to his grandfather.
When we returned to the Waterside Residence, Xiaoyue was already up and reading downstairs.
Having had a good sleep, An Xiaoyue's cheeks were rosy as she leaned back on the beanbag chair. The reading lamp beside her made her already fair skin seem to glow, giving her an exceptionally hazy beauty.
Warmth flows freely in a certain part of my heart.
Perhaps he had been staring at her for too long, because An Xiaoyue noticed his gaze and looked up at him. "You're back. What's wrong, Mr. Ji?"
He put the bag he was carrying aside, walked to the floor mat and sat down. "He was drunk, so I took him home and came back."
"Is it really because Lingxi is ignoring her?" She could hear it clearly from the back seat on the way back.
But it's unrealistic for a man to act like he'd die for a woman.
She subconsciously assumed that Ji Yubai had talked to Fu Shengyang about something he didn't want her to know, which was why he made up an excuse.
Now, hearing Fu Shengyang say that Ji Yubai was drunk, although I think it's a bit pretentious for a man to act like that, if the other person is Ji Yubai, I can understand it.
Ji Yubai already looks like a pretty boy; if he wore a long wig and put on makeup, he could really look like a woman.
So even though he has a sensitive personality, An Xiaoyue didn't think it was a big deal.
Fu Shengyang: "Yes, he's quite deeply involved."
An Xiaoyue was powerless to do anything.
After seeing the adults off at the airport, the four of them had dinner together, and Ji Yubai took Lingxi home.
Some time ago, she and Lingxi arranged to meet. Lingxi only said that she had made things clear with Ji Yubai and asked him not to bother her.
An Xiaoyue didn't ask for details about what exactly was said, only that she rejected Ji Yubai.
Fu Shengyang saw that she was spacing out again. She was so concerned about other people's affairs, but why didn't she think about him?
"Aunt Ji made some flower cakes, would you like some?" Fu Shengyang interrupted her, not wanting her to always put in effort for others.
An Xiaoyue still remembers making flower cakes by hand when she went on a trip with her mother before. They were fragrant, crispy, sweet, fresh, and soft.
"I want to eat."
Fu Shengyang got up and cut the flower cake into small pieces, bringing them to her.
As An Xiaoyue tasted the fresh, fragrant, and crispy flower cake, she suddenly thought of Ji Yubai's pitiful face.
She felt obligated to help him, and besides, based on her understanding of Lingxi, Ji Yubai's personality was compatible with Lingxi's.
Lingxi has a carefree personality and likes to try exciting and new things. She also loves to take a spontaneous trip in her spare time.
But now, her time is occupied by staying at Changfeng Group and renovations.
So it's normal that she doesn't want to be in a relationship at this stage.
It can only be said that Ji Yubai appeared at the wrong time in Zhong Lingxi's life.
Or, she could ask Lingxi what she really thought.
If Lingxi really doesn't have time, then we can talk about it later.
If you truly dislike Ji Yubai, then let him give up on you sooner rather than later.
An Xiaoyue tentatively asked Fu Shengyang, "How about I invite Lingxi to dinner tomorrow and give her the soap I made?"
I gave all the gifts I brought back to Lingxi during our last meeting.
"Wasn't that soap made for me?" Fu Shengyang was unhappy. There were only two bars of soap, and he still wanted to give one away.
An Xiaoyue blinked and said in a sweet voice, "Aren't there two bars? You won't be able to use them all at once. I'll make you some flower-scented soap later. Didn't you pick a lot of flowers to put in during the spring? Those flowers will be perfect."
Her voice was so soft and gentle that Fu Shengyang couldn't help but think of the sweet moments they shared in bed, and how could he not respond?
Judging from Ji Yubai's deadpan expression, he has no choice but to marry Zhong Lingxi.
"Let's make a date, Xiaoyue."
Fu Shengyang would naturally support bringing together a couple who know each other well.
After hearing Fu Shengyang's words, An Xiaoyue took out her phone and sent a message to Zhong Lingxi.
[Lingxi, are you overseeing the renovations at the new house tomorrow? The soap I made while I was out has arrived; I'll bring it to you tomorrow.]
