Chapter 21

Ji Hui glanced disapprovingly at Ji Yao but didn’t say anything more. In his opinion, Yao Yao was still too kind-hearted, only thinking about doing good for others and not considering what kind of dark thoughts others might have behind their backs.

Seeing her daughter’s kindness, Yun Yue was pleased and asked, “Why don’t Jing Jing try the exam first? Yao Yao will also help you, don’t worry.”

Ji Ming also nodded.

Ji Jing didn’t mind, “Okay, let’s give it a try.”

Lunch was finished with everyone’s thoughts in different places. After the meal, Ji Hui prepared to inspect the affairs of the entertainment club and left first. Ji Yi also needed to go back to the study to organize research materials.

Ji Yao was left with Yun Yue, discussing which dress to wear in the afternoon.

Ji Ming and Yun Yue were already in a semi-retired state, and they had booked tickets for a musical in the afternoon with Ji Yao in advance.

Seeing that Ji Jing seemed a bit lonely, Ji Ming asked, “Jing Jing, do you want to come with us to see the musical?”

Yun Yue and Ji Yao also looked over.

Could a girl who grew up in a Taoist temple understand such an artistic form as a musical? Yun Yue and Ji Yao both thought of this question at the same time.

“No, I have some other things to do in the afternoon. I wish you all a good time,” Ji Jing declined Ji Ming’s invitation gracefully.

She had just received a message from the Taoist Association and had to deal with a new commission.

Ji Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t have to worry about Ji Jing, which was a good thing for her.

Yun Yue, on the other hand, frowned slightly.

Yun Yue’s feelings towards Ji Jing were complicated. As a mother, she loved Ji Jing and hoped to be closer to her and make up for their relationship. But when she looked at Ji Jing, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes. Why didn’t she come back earlier? Why did she come back now?

How should she treat a daughter who had a personality and life so different from theirs? How should she face Ji Yao, who had loved her so much for so many years?

Yun Yue couldn’t sort out these feelings.

Ji Ming didn’t think so much. He didn’t plan to force Ji Jing to change; he just wanted to make up for the missing family relationship. “Okay, come back for dinner tonight, Jing Jing?”

Ji Jing thought for a moment, “Um…not necessarily, you don’t have to wait for me.”

Thinking of the access control at her former desk mate’s house, Ji Jing added, “But I will be home before 9 pm, Dad.”

Ji Ming was good to her, and she was willing to be good to him. Ji Jing was willing to call him “Dad,” which made Ji Ming particularly happy. So he swallowed the words of opposition and said, “Okay, then I’ll have Li the driver take you.”

Ji Jing agreed.

When Ji Jing went back to her room to pack her things and came downstairs, the driver was already waiting for her at the door. To Li the driver’s surprise, this Miss Taoist, who looked very rural, was actually going to a famous internet bar street in C city.

Could a Taoist priest also drink? Li the driver felt very strange.

When Ji Jing returned to her room to pack up and go downstairs, the driver was already waiting at the door, dedicated and professional.

To the surprise of driver Li, the seemingly naive Daoist Miss Zhen was actually headed to the famous internet celebrity bar street in city C.

Can Taoist priests even drink alcohol? Li was feeling very curious.

Ji Jing’s actual destination was the Starry Sky KTV near the center of the bar street.

Li had previously driven the young master of the Ji family to play here, but Ji Jing didn’t seem to be here for fun this time. She asked the driver to take a different route and go around to the back of the KTV.

The Starry Sky KTV had a large venue and a back door that led to a rarely-used one-way street, typically used for employee access and material unloading.

And now, the back door of the Starry Sky KTV had been busy for three consecutive days.

During these three days, the KTV staff had seen all kinds of mysterious people they wouldn’t normally encounter.

Buddhist monks, Christian pastors, Japanese yin-yang masters, all of them were invited by the boss to perform various exorcism and salvation rituals in the KTV.

It wasn’t really superstition, but the boss of the Starry Sky KTV, Song Chao, was really in a bind!

He and his staff had been having nightmares for several days now!

The whole thing started on the weekend evening last week.

The story begins from last weekend.

It was a weekend and the customer flow was particularly high. The boss, Song Chao, personally came to the store to handle any emergencies that may arise.

At first, everything was normal at the Starry Sky KTV, and as usual, the peak hours of customer traffic came around 6 pm in the evening, with a continuous stream of customers in the lobby.

In the employee corridor, however, a middle-aged man suddenly came in limping. He seemed to have taken the wrong turn while looking for the bathroom and ended up walking towards the back door of the KTV.

At this time, there were several employees gathered at the exit of the back door, taking a break, smoking, and getting some fresh air.

They were all shocked to see a stranger suddenly push open the door and come out of the store.

“Sir, are you lost?” One of the waiters, who was a few meters away, smelled the alcohol on the man and figured out that he was probably a customer of the store.

Although it was rare for a drunk person to stumble into the employee corridor, it did occasionally happen at the KTV.

Before he could answer, the middle-aged man suddenly clutched his chest and fell to the ground!
