Chapter 153: Chapter 141: The ZhiFa CP Can’t Possibly Implode! (Double-Length)

The three of them entered the banquet together.

On Weibo, fans and bystanders saw these pictures and immediately exploded with excitement.

[Wow, Ji Xizhi attending the Feng Family’s banquet is quite impressive! My senior was from Qing University and said this invitation is particularly hard to get; only the top elite can enter!]

[Didn’t Ji Xizhi just get admitted? How can she already compare with other school elites? Although I admit she’s amazing, isn’t this too big of a backdoor?]

[Not necessarily, maybe Ji Xizhi has a wide network? Perhaps she didn’t get it through the academy?]

[If not from the academy, then it’s either through Qi Zheng or from high society itself? If it’s Qi Zheng, then Ji Xizhi should be entering with Qi Zheng, right?]

It’s no secret that the Feng Family was hosting a banquet, with some rumors already online.

At first, no one thought Ji Xizhi would attend the banquet. After all, there’s quite a gap between high society and the entertainment industry. Those connected to the Feng Family are generally well-off.

No one seems to have spilled any details on Ji Xizhi’s background.

The more netizens discussed, the more heated the topic became, and the trending tag climbed higher and higher.

Quite a few fans discovered some odd points from the photos.

[Regardless of anything else, just looking at these photos, isn’t it traditional for elite banquets to include a lady companion? What’s the deal with Ji Xizhi bringing two male companions? Why can’t I understand this?]

[Speaking of which, don’t you find it strange? Doesn’t Ji Xizhi look like she’s attending in long sleeves and trousers? And who are the two men beside her? Isn’t anyone curious? They seem quite attached to Ji Xizhi~]

[I raise my hand; I know why no one is curious. Maybe it’s because nobody is interested in bodyguards (not me, I’m guilty; I’ll punish myself with three glasses of orange juice), but given Sister Ji’s aura, those two really look like her bodyguards or followers!]

[Enlightenment!]

The fans burst into laughter.

Any other female celebrity joining a banquet shoulder to shoulder with two men would undeniably spark rumors.

But with Ji Xizhi, it’s different.

Fans: Even if the sky falls, the Zhi Fa couple will never break up!!!

It’s no surprise that Ji Xizhi’s popularity exploded; many netizens, after seeing the pictures taken at the banquet entrance, rolled over and begged for more revelations on Weibo.

Zhong Yulu, recovering quietly at home, saw this trending surge and almost smashed her phone out of anger.

The banquet tonight was supposed to be attended by her, but now, with her leg unexpectedly injured, she couldn’t make it.

But now, Ji Xizhi actually attended!

Isn’t Ji Tingzhou aiming to elevate Ji Xizhi, possibly even bringing her into the Ji Family!

Too bad, Ji Xizhi backed the wrong person.

After tonight, the Ji Family won’t have Ji Tingzhou anymore!

Zhong Yulu looked at her plastered calf, gradually calming down.

–

The reporters at the banquet received company messages midway, asking them to take more shots of Ji Xizhi.

The reporters were willing, but they simply couldn’t find her.

Reporters: Numb.jpg

Clearly, she went in with Xue Fan from the Xue Family, but now, though they found Xue Fan, the person beside him wasn’t Ji Xizhi!

The reporters searched the entire first-floor banquet hall, and Ji Xizhi seemed to have vanished into thin air.

It’s impossible that the banquet hadn’t officially started, and she already went up to rest on the second floor, right? That’s not plausible!

The reporters dismissed this impolite thought and decided to search again, thinking they might have missed her.

Hopeful, the reporters spun like tops all evening.

From the start of the banquet to the entry of the Feng Family’s eldest young master, speeches, toasting, and mingling.

The reporters captured everything possible at the scene, from Ji Fengyuan, Qi Zheng, Ji Tingzhou, Sheng Yaoyao and her husband, and other celebrities connected to high society.

Except for Ji Xizhi,

who never appeared once!

Reporters: Just ridiculous!

On the Weibo accounts updating in sync online, quite a few fans had already received stunning photos of their idols.

[Ahhh Ji Fengyuan! Absolutely stunning, it’s been ages since he appeared!]

[Is that Ji Tingzhou beside him? I’ve heard of him before, apparently he’s the brother of the older one. His looks are ridiculously outstanding, the Ji Family’s genes are amazing, eek~]

[Yaoyao, my Yaoyao looks so beautiful and happy~]

[Excuse me, where’s my Zhi? I’ve been waiting for ages, humbly begging for a picture of Zhi Zhi!]

[Exactly, wasn’t Ji Xizhi just entering with two bodyguards, I mean, male companions? Why aren’t there any pictures now? Are the reporters doing this on purpose?]

Because of those photos from the banquet gate, Ji Xizhi’s fans specifically followed this account, yet after waiting through dozens of posts, not one featured Ji Xizhi. As the banquet edged towards its conclusion, there still wasn’t a single beautiful picture of Ji Xizhi.

Everyone was getting a bit anxious.

The reporters on site were even more anxious.

The only calm person seemed to be Ji Xizhi, sitting upstairs calmly drafting her new paper.

The downstairs banquet did not disturb her studies one bit. Since those networking downstairs, the resting room was mostly empty, and when someone did come up, no one seemed interested in making contact with Ji Xizhi, given her outfit.

Ji Xizhi enjoyed the peace of a high-end internet cafe, studying efficiently. It wasn’t long before she completed her study tasks for the day.

Once she finished her study task, she picked up a pen and paper to write out the answers to the set of test papers she had promised her fans.

She had actually completed the answers beforehand but wanted to expand on some ideas, which she had been doing over the past few days.

After supplementing several questions, Ji Xizhi was just relaxing her eyes when she suddenly sensed the banquet downstairs seemed to quiet down.

She glanced at the time, it was roughly close to the end of the banquet.

Ji Xizhi returned Xue Fan’s loaned computer and other belongings intact and then prepared to leave the banquet with a few pages of handwritten notes.

Just as she reached the stairway, before she could go down,

she saw a middle-aged man in a servant’s uniform suddenly snap and rush forward, gripping a young man’s neck by the stair railing.

Everything happened too suddenly; the guests downstairs hadn’t even processed what had happened.

The young man’s body was halfway pushed over the railing.

Standing at the top of the stairs, Ji Xizhi was closest, and the moment the young man’s glasses fell off, she could almost see the blood vessels bursting in his eyes.

Reacting quickly, she leaped several steps down, her hand firmly clasping the middle-aged man’s shoulder.
