Chapter 155 - 142: There Must Be Something Between These Two! (Double-Length)


Chapter 155: Chapter 142: There Must Be Something Between These Two! (Double-Length)

The middle-aged man’s words were not finished yet.

Ji Tingzhou interrupted him, his face dark and terrifying.

“You dare to mention my mom?!”

The middle-aged man was frightened by Ji Tingzhou’s sudden outburst, his pupils shrinking: “You wouldn’t dare…”

Ji Tingzhou tugged at his tie, his voice as cold as ice: “And what do you think I wouldn’t dare!”

Intimidated by Ji Tingzhou’s gaze, the middle-aged man suddenly shrank back, but quickly glanced downstairs and breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued, “Ji Tingzhou, I am your biological uncle…”

Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, Ji Tingzhou pulled out a phone and dialed three digits to call the police.

The middle-aged man was full of vigilance: “Ji Tingzhou, what are you doing?!”

Ji Tingzhou’s expression was calm: “Nothing much, let’s talk at the police station!”

Upon hearing the words ’police station,’ the middle-aged man instantly changed his expression, wanting to speak, but before he could open his mouth, the security guard beside him gagged him again.

The evening party ended after a thrilling accident, with Ji Tingzhou ultimately apologizing.

He had just been held hostage, yet still retained his composure and apologized to everyone present, improving his image significantly among the guests on the first floor.

However, Ji Tingzhou did not deny what the middle-aged man said earlier, implying that Ji Tingzhou might really not be a child of the Ji Family.

That was big news!

Everyone downstairs had different expressions.

Ji Tingzhou bid farewell to Feng Qin and left the party first.

Ji Xizhi stood aside, retracting her gaze upon seeing Ji Tingzhou choose to call the police.

She neatly arranged her slightly wrinkled manuscript and followed downstairs.

Xue Fan and Chu Ang, who were downstairs, had also seen the moment Ji Xizhi saved someone, and their blood nearly froze.

Seeing Ji Xizhi come downstairs, they rushed over immediately.

Alongside them, Qi Zheng and Sheng Yaoyao, who were familiar with Ji Xizhi, also gathered around.

But none were as quick as Feng Qin, who, after instructing the security, immediately followed Ji Xizhi to express gratitude.

After all, today’s incident occurred at the Feng Family’s party. Although Ji Xizhi saved Ji Tingzhou, she also indirectly helped the Feng Family. Otherwise, if anything had happened to Ji Tingzhou at the Feng Family’s party, it would have been even more troublesome!

Feng Qin had just returned to the country and did not know Ji Xizhi’s celebrity status. He verbally thanked her and promised a generous gift.

“I don’t know what you may be interested in; feel free to choose within the Feng Family’s assets, or if there is something else you want, that’s possible too~”

Upon hearing Feng Qin’s words, everyone below took a deep breath.

The Feng Family’s assets were substantial, including many luxury products, granting free choice meant granting significant privilege.

If someone were truly greedy, they might even use this opportunity to secure a collaboration with the Feng Family.

During the party, many participants were scheming, looking towards Ji Xizhi.

Listening to Feng Qin’s words, Ji Xizhi indeed raised her head in surprise.

But her reaction was entirely different from what others imagined.

Ji Xizhi looked sincerely at Feng Qin, raised the manuscript in her right hand slowly, and asked: “Anything can be chosen? Then I don’t need anything else, just these sheets of paper. May I take them?”

Originally, she planned to ask Xue Fan since she got them from the party and needed permission to take them away.

But now that Feng Qin, the host of the party, was here, it was more convenient to ask him.

Feng Qin: “?”

He hadn’t expected that with such a generous offer from the Feng Family, someone would refuse?

Feng Qin paused for a moment, astonished, as he eyed the papers in Ji Xizhi’s hand and asked: “What paper? Why are there these papers at the party?”

Ji Xizhi was about to explain.

Beside them, Xue Fan already came forward with an embarrassed expression. He had initially been happy for Ji Xizhi upon hearing that Feng Qin would give her a gift, but when she requested merely two sheets of paper, his expression fell.

What was going on?!!

Xue Fan squeezed between them, explaining to Feng Qin, “She’s my friend, and before the party, she asked a staff member to get some papers, just normal white papers!”

Ji Xizhi then spread the white sheets she held, revealing clear analysis paths written on them.

With Feng Qin standing close, he quickly saw the big words on the first line: “Mock Test 2, Question 18 Answer:”

Feng Qin: “???”

At his family’s grand party, she was solving exam questions?

The crowd watching: “?!!”

The grand promise from the Feng Family’s eldest son, exchanged for a few sheets of paper?

Amidst the bewilderment, Feng Qin looked at Ji Xizhi’s earnest expression and ultimately agreed.

“Of course… you may, but besides these sheets, my previous offer still stands.”

Feng Qin forced a smile, maintaining his previous promise.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xizhi was about to refuse, but Xue Fan already grabbed her sleeve, tugging her away from the party.

At the party, Sheng Yaoyao and several other artists and journalists familiar with Ji Xizhi hadn’t had a chance to greet her; they were left staring dumbfounded as Ji Xizhi left.

However, among them, Qi Zheng set down his wine glass and whispered a few words to the person beside him before following Ji Xizhi’s lead.

The farce concluded, and the party was nearly over, ending about as planned, though due to the Ji Family’s drama, everyone left feeling somewhat complicated.

Only the attending journalists were thrilled beyond measure.

Initially, everyone thought they’d just capture beautiful images at the party to gain a bit of publicity, but they unexpectedly uncovered such a massive scandal, the kind rarely seen even once a year!

While the journalists were pondering whether to inform the Ji Family before releasing their photos, the incident had already gone viral online.

The journalists decided to go ahead and published their photos.

In just a brief moment, the news of Ji Xizhi rescuing Ji Tingzhou spread like wildfire.

Centering around Ji Tingzhou’s situation.

Since the party began, many celebrity photos had already circulated on Weibo, and numerous netizens were aware of the Feng Family party, attracting significant attention.

Ji Tingzhou’s revelation as an adopted child of the Ji Family broke out shortly thereafter, with an unknown account publicizing this news online.

Some even stirred up a trend on Weibo.

The hashtag #ImposterHeirInterloperStepAside!# was established, as the drama of real and faux heirs was most capable of arousing public outrage despite the general lack of understanding about internal dynamics of wealthy families.

Previously, Ji Tingzhou avoided media engagements, leaving an impression of a diamond bachelor. Nobody had ever thought to dig into Ji Tingzhou’s background.

But things changed; once Ji Tingzhou’s identity was exposed, countless hidden details emerged as if answering public demand, satisfying the masses’ curiosity.

[That Ji Tingzhou, isn’t he a bit shameless? Living off his brother’s family, you stole your brother’s life for years. Don’t you feel guilty?]

[He’s still the CEO of the Ji Family and essentially doesn’t intend to return the Ji Family to his brother, huh! I used to think he was a kind person, forget it! Get out of the Ji Family!]

[Huh? Is that Ji Xizhi in the photos? Ji Xizhi rescuing Ji Tingzhou? No wonder! I won’t comment more, it’s best to avoid conflict with Ji Xizhi’s fans!]

[Those in the know are fully aware! Ji Tingzhou invested in “Life Experience,” and Ji Xizhi became famous~]

Based on several photos, the netizens quickly shifted their focus from Ji Tingzhou to Ji Xizhi.

Why was Ji Xizhi so determined to save Ji Tingzhou? Surely, there’s something extraordinary between them, otherwise, why would Ji Xizhi be at the Feng Family party? Why was she upstairs while everyone else was downstairs?!

Netizens fervently debated, overshadowing Ji Xizhi’s previous trending post.
