Chapter 79: Who Are You?
As soon as Ji Yuanruo caught Ji Tianxin’s gaze, she feared something might happen to Ji Yucheng, so she immediately pulled Ji Yucheng back a little.
Ji Yucheng was somewhat unwilling, but her strength was no match for Ji Yuanruo’s and she was dragged back nonetheless.
Ji Huailei spoke in a low voice, “Yucheng, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll have someone send you home.”
This girl—what if she provoked this little demon and a fight broke out here?
This little demon never cared where she was, nor did she ever hold back.
Though Ji Huailei was reprimanding Ji Yucheng, it was clear he was also protecting her.
The group halted, and nearly everyone’s gaze fell upon Ji Tianxin.
Though they all carried the Ji surname, it was obvious there were two sides.
Madam Zhao took a step aside, smiled gently at Ji Tianxin, indicating she wasn’t on Ji Yucheng’s side.
Madam Zhao was clever, and she never liked Chen’s two children, so naturally she chose Ji Tianxin.
The simple-minded Ji Yuanqing had no idea what was happening; she only reached out, wanting Tianxin to hug her, but was firmly restrained by the nurse behind her.
“Who are you? Are you insulting me?” Ji Tianxin asked with a hint of confusion, blinking her doe-like eyes, which somehow appeared...innocent?
If someone had met her recently, Ji Tianxin would recognize them.
But just now, she hadn’t even glanced at Ji Yucheng’s face, so she had no memory of what she looked like.
Ji Huailei: “...”
Ji Yuanruo: “...” Is this face blindness?
Ji Yucheng was dumbfounded, unsure how to respond.
Ji Tianxin’s gaze, cold and indifferent, swept over Ji Huailei and Ji Yuanruo, finally settling once more on Ji Yucheng.
In a tone that sounded utterly devoid of threat, she said slowly, “If you insult me, don’t let me hear it. Otherwise, I will hit you.”
Ji Yucheng’s heart skipped a beat for no reason, gripping Ji Yuanruo’s hand tightly and staring fearfully at Ji Tianxin’s eyes.
The memory of Ji Tianxin’s whip sending her flying at the gates of the General’s Mansion was still vivid.
Indeed, Ji Tianxin had almost acted just now, but her face blindness made her pause when she glanced at Ji Huailei and Ji Yuanruo, remembering who Ji Yucheng was.
So she was Ji Huailei’s daughter.
Ji Huailei she remembered, since she needed to find him, so she had memorized his face. The three of them stood together, resembling each other, so she recognized them all.
For the sake of Ji Yucheng being Ji Sanlei’s child, she could be magnanimous.
Ji Huailei breathed a sigh of relief; he truly feared that if Ji Tianxin became angry, she would do something here.
Father wasn’t here, so he couldn’t stop her!
Even though he hadn’t had much contact with Ji Tianxin, he knew her temperament—fierce and unpredictable. She struck without warning, and no one could say whether you’d survive.
That was why Ji Huailei had deliberately scolded Ji Yucheng moments ago.
Ji Tianxin glanced ahead, “You said I was walking too slowly, didn’t you?”
Ji Huailei wanted to retort, ‘Of course! Everyone’s already gone, and our family’s the only ones waiting for you—how could you not be slow?’ But he softened his tone, speaking gravely, “It’s true, though you’re young and your steps are short, so it’s understandable. If you truly can’t walk quickly, we’ll wait for you together.”
Ji Tianxin nodded, “If you wanted me to walk faster, you could have just said so.”
Ji Huailei: “...”
“I’ll walk faster, then.” With that, Ji Tianxin moved her feet, her small figure becoming a blur and vanishing before their eyes in the blink of an eye.
The Ji family: “...”
Where did she go?
