“Rou’er, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?” Feng Qi’s face was full of concern. She walked over to Lin Rou’s side and patted her shoulder.

When Lin Rou saw Feng Qi, she felt like she was looking at someone from her own family. She wiped her tears and said, “Sister-in-law, you’re finally back.”

“Rou’er, why are you crying? What happened? Did Fang Xiaonuan bully you? Don’t worry, I won’t let her bully you.” Feng Qi looked around and saw that there were two teacups. She was certain that Lin Rou had been bullied, which was why she was crying so fiercely.

Lin Rou shook her head. She could not tell Feng Qi what Ji Lingchen had said, so she stood up and stopped her. “Sister-in-law, no one bullied me. Don’t go.”

“Yes, yes. The two of them shouldn’t be at home.” It made sense. Today was the day that Fang Xiaonuan and Lingchen were returning home. She could not tell whether they had even arrived yet. Feng Qi felt that she had been too impulsive. She had pushed the blame onto Fang Xiaonuan.

Before Feng Qi could finish her introspection, Lin Rou deliberately said, “She’s already back. Sister-in-law, please don’t stand up for me. She’s not someone to be trifled with. She still plans to...” Lin Rou stuttered, then looked at Feng Qi with evasive eyes.

Feng Qi had a one-track mind. Lin Rou’s words made her angry and she continued to ask, “What does she plan to do?”

“Fang Xiaonuan plans to be the female head of the Ji family. Just now, she tried to curry favor with Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji said that you’re too narrow-minded and that you aren’t suitable to be the female head of the Ji family.” Lin Rou continued to stutter.

Feng Qi’s anger was completely ignited. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she asked Lin Rou, “Is that really the case?”

“Sister-in-law, you mustn’t tell her that I told you this. I’m afraid that she will fan the flames with Mr. Ji. In the future, I won’t be able to enter the Ji family’s residence. Such a powerful and scheming woman like her isn’t suitable to stay by Lingchen’s side.” Lin Rou stopped crying, but she continued to sow discord.

Lin Rou knew Feng Qi’s weakness. Seeing that Feng Qi’s anger had not reached its peak, she continued, “Sister-in-law, she’s going to take the power of the Ji family away from you. It’s obvious that she won’t allow your son to have any shares of the Ji Corporation in the future. Sister-in-law, the Ji Corporation belongs to the Ji family. Although I love Lingchen, I’m not a greedy person. Lingchen has a share of the Ji Corporation, big brother has a share, and Ji Wen is the eldest grandson of the Ji family. He should have a share too. But there’s nothing I can do. Now that Fang Xiaonuan is here, I’m no longer allowed here without a prior invitation. You must be careful in everything you do.”

Lin Rou had been friends with Feng Qi for many years, so she naturally understood her worries. Feng Qi’s greatest fear was that the Ji Corporation would one day be completely under Ji Lingchen’s control, and that her son, Ji Wen, would no longer have a place in it.

Lin Rou deliberately said these words to Feng Qi, just to sow discord between her and Fang Xiaonuan. She knew that Ji Lingchen did not love her, but she just could not swallow this anger.

......

After saying these words, Lin Rou left the house, feeling wronged. Once Feng Qi could no longer see her, her face instantly changed. Her eyes, which had been red from crying, were now filled with viciousness. She definitely wanted to get Fang Xiaonuan kicked out of the Ji family.

She wanted to use Feng Qi to make sure that the Ji family would never have peace. She wanted to chase away Fang Xiaonuan. She wanted to make Old Master Ji and Ji Lingchen regret it! As she thought this over, Lin Rou started the car and left.

At dinner, Fang Xiaonuan had already completely adapted to the Ji family’s lifestyle. She washed her hands before eating.

Feng Qi sat opposite her. No matter how she looked at Fang Xiaonuan, she still did not like her. She said, “There are things in this world that I don’t understand. Tell me, why did an ugly duckling sneak into the group of white swans and humiliate herself? Today, when I went out, I encountered an interesting incident. An ugly duckling snuck into the group of white swans in the park. It was really very funny.”

When Feng Qi said this, her gaze never left Fang Xiaonuan. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was mocking Fang Xiaonuan’s family background and insinuating something.

After Fang Xiaonuan washed her hands, she sat quietly beside Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen glanced at the silent girl beside him, then at his sister-in-law across from him. He realized that the two of them were looking at each other.

“There’s more! Mrs. Wang went out with me today. She brought her poodle along, and a dirty mutt approached us. It wanted to play with Mrs. Wang’s poodle, but it really didn’t have a discerning eye. It didn’t even have the least bit of self-awareness. What a coincidence! That mutt’s name seemed to be Xiao Fang. I almost bought that dog just so I could give it to Nuannuan!” Feng Qi saw that Fang Xiaonuan showed no reaction at all, so she continued.
