Ji Chensi turned his head and said to his secretary, "I'll leave the things here to you. From now on, don't let me see this annoying woman again."
"yes."
At this moment, Xiao Ru shrank his body, his face completely pale. After thinking for a while, he squeezed out two tears, "Master Ji, you have to believe me, I really didn't lie to you. This matter was... your mother, Mrs. Ji, who asked me to do it..."
Ji Chensi didn't even look at her. He hugged Xiao Xiao, leaving only his imposing back.

Yiyuan Garden.
Xiao Xiao was sleeping on the bed. She didn't know how long she slept before she moaned and slowly woke up.
It was already completely light.
Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and looked blankly at Ji Chensi who was sitting at the head of the bed. He had one hand on his head and his eyes closed, as if he was resting.
When she saw him, Xiao Xiao felt at peace all of a sudden.
She stared at him for a moment and then gradually fell asleep again.
It was already afternoon when I woke up again.
Ji Chensi was gone, only Ji Ling was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her with his eyes wide open.
Seeing Xiao Xiao wake up, Ji Ling called out crisply, "Mommy, you're awake!"
"Yeah." Xiao Xiao held her head and sat up. She was no longer dizzy, but a little heavy. She raised her hand to hold Ji Ling and asked softly, "Ji Ling, why didn't you go to kindergarten today?"
"I don't want to go." Ji Ling looked a little sad.
"What's wrong?"
"Grandma actually treated you like that. I won't call her grandma anymore." Ji Ling made this decision with a pout.
Xiao Xiao was stunned and reached out to touch his head. "Actually, this was done by your aunt."
"She is not my aunt! That woman has harmed Mommy like this. And those grandpa and grandma, I don't even know if they are human. Mommy, you are their daughter, how could they treat you like this? When Ji Ling sees Grandpa Zeng, she must tell him that they are bullying Ji Ling, and I will ask Grandpa Zeng to deal with them."
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, "You little brat, you look small, but why do you have so many thoughts?"
"I'm not being too thoughtful. I'm doing this to protect Mommy."
Xiao Xiao was touched by his words. She kissed his forehead and smiled, saying, "Well, Mommy finally understands now. Only you are my real relative."
"Mommy, you are wrong. So is Dad."
Xiao Xiao nodded, hugged him and asked, "Well, your dad is the same, but where is your dad? Is he at home?"
"He went to Tanyuan."
Xiao Xiao was stunned, "What are you going to Tanyuan for?"
"It seems that she said she was going to look for grandma, but I don't know what the specific matter was. Also, Mommy, do you know? The bad woman who hurt you has been arrested by the police, and the two old people are kneeling at the gate of Yiyuan."
"Kneeling?"
"Yes, Dad even bought the house they live in, and now he won't let them live there. Humph, this is reaping the fruits of one's own actions. Who told them to do that? They always want to take revenge on you."
Xiao Xiao said nothing for a moment before asking, "Are your grandparents kneeling at the door?"
"They are not my grandparents!" Ji Ling emphasized, his childish eyes showing a maturity that was different from his age. "I don't have such vicious and shameful grandparents. Mommy, they hurt you so much, you should ignore them in the future and don't contact them. Let them fend for themselves."
Xiao Xiao sighed, "Well, it's not nice to kneel outside. If the paparazzi take pictures of us, it will cause trouble. How about this? Go and ask the housekeeper to ask the guards to drive them away and not let them kneel at the door."
"Okay." Ji Ling slid down from the bed, "Mom, you take a rest first. I'll be back after I finish my work."
"Go." Xiao Xiao said, and moved her gaze to the crystal chandelier in the house. Although they were her biological parents, after what happened last night, she had let go of everything. She would no longer be stupid or soft-hearted. So be it. Although there was a slight bitterness in her heart at this moment, it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Getting away from them was the real beginning of gaining happiness.

the other side.
Ji Chensi returned to Tanyuan. Mrs. Ji was chatting with a group of wives of officials. A servant walked over and whispered in Mrs. Ji's ear: "Madam, the young master is here."
Mrs. Ji looked up and saw Ji Chensi at the door. She had expected him to come, so she smiled and said to the group of ladies, "Excuse me."
She walked to the door, looked at Ji Chensi, whose face was calm, gathered her shawl, and asked, "Chensi, how come you have time to come back today? Are you busy recently?"
"You asked Xiao Ru to do what happened to Xiao Xiao, right?"
Mrs. Ji smiled slightly and said gracefully, "I didn't expect that she would betray me so quickly. As expected, she is a useless person."
Ji Chensi's face was cold. "I have already said that the problem is Xiao Xiao's family, not her. I asked you not to touch her, why don't you stop?"
"I've never been the one who refused to give up." Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Chensi, her eyes darkening, "Do you think her family are good people? I just gave them a small favor, and they can immediately turn around and harm their own people. Chensi, you are a big businessman, and you have such a pair of father-in-law and mother-in-law. Aren't you afraid that one day you can't satisfy them and they will stab you in the back?"
Ji Chensi said nothing.
Mrs. Ji sighed, "Si Chen, you are my son, how could I possibly harm you? Xiao Xiao's family is definitely not something you can get rid of easily. Even if I let you get married now, you two will still continue to have grudges because of her family. Take this incident for example. When Xiao Ru heard that she could make a fortune by preventing Xiao Xiao from marrying you, she immediately went to find someone to frame her sister. Even sisters are like this, and you will only be her brother-in-law in the future. It will take only a few minutes for them to harm you."
"I won't let them get near us."
"What about the elders of our Ji family? Marrying into a family like that, where do you think the reputation of our entire Ji family is? Your father and I only have you as our only son. Chen Si, I can't bear to see you ruined by her hands."
"Whether to destroy it or not is up to me, but if you continue like this, I'm afraid your grandchildren won't call you grandma anymore."
Mrs. Ji was startled and narrowed her eyes. "What did you say? Are you threatening me?"
"What can I threaten you with? These words were spoken by your precious grandson himself. You know, he was raised by Xiao Xiao since he was a child, and he has a special relationship with her. So naturally, in his eyes, his mother is the most important." Mrs. Ji is still his mother, and Ji Chensi doesn't want to say anything too harsh. So at this time, Ji Ling is more useful, after all, they all love Ji Ling sincerely, and they will definitely be afraid of losing their beloved grandson.
Mrs. Ji's expression turned ugly, and she snorted coldly, "I've said long ago that Ji Ling can't be allowed to follow her. Also, how did Ji Ling know all this? Was it that actor who instigated him?"
"Ji Ling is naturally smart. In fact, it's inherited from you, mom. So if you don't mind severing ties with your precious grandson, you can go ahead. But I must say something in advance. I have to marry this woman. So in the end, you may lose not only a grandson, but also a son."
Mrs. Ji pursed her lips and frowned, as if she was very unhappy to hear these words.
"I've already said it here. We will prepare for the wedding from now on. If mom is willing, she can attend as my mother. If you don't want to and don't come to the wedding, I won't blame you." Ji Chensi said this calmly as usual, and without paying attention to Mrs. Ji's reaction, he turned around and walked out of the main house.
Mrs. Ji was holding the door handle from behind, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She pointed her finger at his back and said, "If you dare to marry her, I will treat you as my son and I will never attend your wedding banquet."
Ji Chensi didn't look back.
Mrs. Ji was furious and shouted loudly, "Unfilial son!"
She was so angry that she felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Someone walked over and Mrs. Ji thought it was a servant, so she stretched out her hand.
The man supported her and then sighed, "Ruolan, why are you doing this?"
Mrs. Ji turned her head and saw that the person holding her hand was her elder sister-in-law Lin Wanyi.
