Ji Xiaohan was dressed in a black suit and was sitting in front of a desk. His long fingers picked up a photo.
This was what he had asked his a.s.sistant, Lu Qing, to wash. It was the scene of Ji Lin meeting with w.a.n.g Cheng that day.
He did some minor processing and blurred some of the details of the image, only revealing Ji Lin"s face and back.
He decided to give Ji Lin a warning. He couldn"t let him do whatever he wanted anymore. He had endured too many times, and it was unbearable.
Now that the old man"s health was better, Ji Xiaohan knew that this would be a long wait. He still had to make Ji Lin fear the warning that was about to be released.
He checked the photos, took a bag, sealed his mouth, and called Lu Qing in.
"Send it to Ji Lin anonymously. Let him see and admire his own back!" Ji Xiaohan handed the bag over to Lu Qing.
"Okay, young master, he will definitely panic!" Lu Qing also hated Ji Lin. In the past, his father was an important and capable subordinate beside Ji Nan, but because of Ji Lin"s pressure, he had to leave his favorite job. He was unhappy and drunk.
Lu Qing"s greatest wish was to see Ji Lin"s end.
"We should make him panic. Otherwise, he really thinks that he"s holding on and is getting more and more out of hand!" Ji Xiaohan sneered.
Lu Qing directly went to send the photos.
In the afternoon, Ji Lin received the information kit that was sent to him anonymously.
Ji Lin looked at the bag vigilantly. He thought there was something scary inside. In the end, he touched the bag with his hand and felt that there was a photo inside. His heart froze and he quickly opened it.
After pouring out a few photos, Ji Lin started to panic as soon as he saw the photos.
"What"s going on?" He couldn"t believe that someone had secretly captured the scene of his meeting with w.a.n.g Cheng.
"Who did it?" Ji Lin was sure that Ji Xiaohan couldn"t have found him that quickly.
"Could it be w.a.n.g Cheng? This d.a.m.nable woman, how dare you put on airs? " The first thing that came to Ji Lin"s mind was the warning w.a.n.g Cheng gave to him. w.a.n.g Cheng was suspecting that he had found someone to teach her and her brother a lesson and ask for medical fees from him. Since he didn"t pay, w.a.n.g Cheng wanted to use these photos to warn him.
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes. If it was really w.a.n.g Cheng, then it would be easy to settle it. He could send her off with money.
But what if it wasn"t her?
It was Ji Xiaohan who got someone to record the meeting between him and w.a.n.g Cheng in private. The consequences would be severe.
No matter who sent him these photos, Ji Lin"s heart was in a mess at the moment.
His face was dark as he tore the photos into pieces, as if he was not resigned to it. He took the lighter and burned them all.
Lan Yue"s mental state wasn"t too good either. Fortunately, the two children were sent to school, otherwise, she would have been afraid that her emotions would affect the two little fellows.
"Lan Yue, what do you think about the matter between Xiao Ze and Bai Yiyan?" After all, she was one of the victims. She had the power to hate Bai Zhenzhen, and also the power to stop Bai Yiyan from marrying into Ji Family.
"I don"t know." Lan Yue shook her head gloomily.
She had already hated Bai Zhenzhen to the core, and now this deep-rooted hatred had been aroused once again.
"I"ll talk to Bai Yiyan. If it"s not convenient for you to partic.i.p.ate in this matter, don"t get involved!" The old lady knew that Lan Yue treasured her two sons" recognition very much. She might choose to endure all the sadness for the sake of this motherly relations.h.i.+p.
"Alright, sorry for troubling you!" Lan Yue was still very grateful towards the old lady. This matter didn"t give her any choice but to take a stand.
"No need for thanks. In this family, there will always be people who can make decisions!" The old lady gritted her teeth in anger.
Bai Yiyan received a call from the old lady on the third day after she moved to the beach.
She didn"t know how the old lady got her number, but since she had received her call, Bai Yiyan couldn"t possibly pretend to be stupid and muddle through. She agreed to meet up with him.
The place the old lady chose, a place with a golden wall, the entire environment gave off a heavy feeling.
The old lady"s face was calm as she wore an embroidered dragon and phoenix gown. Her bearing was elegant and honorable.
The old lady normally wouldn"t dress like this, but today, she dressed more formally, making people feel oppressed.
Bai Yiyan came over and saw her sitting there drinking tea with a sullen face. She still called out in a low voice, "Old lady!"
"Sit down!"
The old lady"s tone was calm, she did not have any intention of making things difficult for her.
However, Bai Yiyan"s heart skipped a beat and sank to the bottom.
She sat down opposite the old lady in a proper ma
er. A waiter came over to serve her a cup of tea. She didn"t dare to pick it up and drink it. She simply lowered her eyes and waited for the old lady to speak.
"I heard that you were raised by Bai Zhenzhen"s sister, right?" Before coming here, the Old Gra
y had already investigated Bai Yiyan"s upbringing. After knowing Bai Yiyan"s background, the Old Gra
y"s previous anger towards her had also lessened by half.
Indeed, Bai Yiyan was an i
ocent person.
There was no way for her to vent her anger on someone who didn"t even know her own background.
However, there was one thing that couldn"t be changed, and that was the blood relations.h.i.+p between her and Bai Zhenzhen.
"Yes, I only found out recently that my mother was Bai Zhenzhen!" Bai Yiyan replied softly.
"Bai Zhenzhen killed my eldest son, Ji Yueze"s father. You know about this, right?" the old lady asked, looking up from her cup of tea.
"I know!" Bai Yiyan"s entire body shuddered as unspeakable sorrow filled her heart.
"Very good, to be honest, I actually like you. You"re sensible, clever, and pleasing to the eyes. If your mother hadn"t been Bai Zhenzhen, I might have been able to forgive you even if you were her sister. But the truth is, you"re the daughter of my enemy." The old lady mocked herself, feeling pained in her heart.
Bai Yiyan"s face paled as she subconsciously gripped the corner of her robe tightly.
"Old gra
y, I know what you want to say. I can only say I"m sorry, I ??" My mother has committed a great sin, and I don"t know how to help her atone for it. " Although Bai Yiyan felt that her mother was also wronged, she couldn"t argue with the old lady about this at the moment. She could only accept her mistake with the most sincere att.i.tude.
"Don"t say anything else, everyone knows that you are a smart girl and as a stranger, I won"t make things difficult for you. But, if you still covet the wealth of our Ji Family, then we might be in a difficult situation." The old lady didn"t want to be too harsh with her words because she wanted to leave some leeway for negotiations.
