It was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiaoqi and Jiang Beibei came to Ji Yi.

"Boss, it's over."

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Xiao Qi nodded to Ji Yi.

"I know." Ji Yi hummed, not surprised.

But soon, he laughed again and said softly: "It seems that those old guys still have some feelings."

Although these days, the competition between the major forces is controlled to a certain degree.

But their competition has not ended, they are still competing overtly and covertly.

As a result, all walks of life in Ming City are still being impacted and affected.

But now, just when my mother-in-law is about to die, those old guys come forward.

Ji Yi didn't believe it at all if there was no mother-in-law in it.

Xiao Qi naturally understood Ji Yi's words. He smiled and said softly: "Those old men sent another document, but I didn't accept it."

"You can go back and take a look." Ji Yi still leaned on the wicker chair and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, that document was probably not sent to me, but to you."

"Mine?" Xiao Qi was a little confused.

If those old guys have something to tell them, they will directly call them on their phone numbers to contact them, which is impossible in this way.

"Yes." Ji Yi crossed his hands together. Although he did not see the contents of the document, he probably guessed what was written on it. He said calmly: "As expected, you will replace those who The old man has temporarily dealt with the major forces in Ming City and arranged things for them."

When Xiao Qi heard this, he suddenly realized.

At the same time, his expression also became more complicated.

"Go." Ji Yi waved her hand to Xiao Qi and said in a soft voice: "After you have done this, it's time for you to go back. When you and Beibei are getting married, remember to tell Sister Kong the news. Sister Kong should be able to find a way. Contact me.”

"I understand." Xiao Qi took a deep breath, pursed her lips, took Jiang Beibei's hand and walked out of the yard.

When he was about to walk out of the yard, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiaoba.

"Bago, the boss will rely on you from now on."

"It's a small matter." Xiao Ba responded casually, and reminded Xiao Qi: "Don't make the scene too big when you get married, otherwise your brother and I will be a bit unable to get rid of the gift money."

"Don't worry...it won't be a big scene." Xiao Qi said quietly, then raised her head and looked at the balcony.

After slightly nodding to Chu Qian and Mu Yu, his eyes finally landed on Du Chan'er and said softly: "Sister Chan'er, I'll leave my boss to you."

"It's a good thing if I don't cause him any trouble." Du Chan'er joked with a smile.

Xiao Qi also laughed.

He didn't say anything more and quickly left here with Jiang Beibei.

After Xiao Qi left, Xiao Ba said to Ji Yi: "Boss, aren't there still about ten days?"

"Yes." Ji Yi nodded and explained to Xiaoba at the same time: "Although we are leaving in ten days, Xiaoqi now needs to replace those old men and the forces in Mingshi, as well as those who came to Mingshi He is dealing with all the major forces, so he will be very busy next time.”

At this point, Ji Yi sighed and said: "And it's good to say goodbye in advance. When we leave, we can't say goodbye to him!"

"That's right." Xiaoba thought for a while and felt relieved.

When they left, they had to go quietly.

So when you leave, don't say that someone has come to see you off, or no one may even know.

Therefore, it is also good to say goodbye in advance.

At least we said goodbye!
At this time, the mobile phone in Meng Zhi's pocket rang.

She supported Xiaoba with one hand, and took out her mobile phone from her pocket with the other hand to answer the call.

More than two minutes later, Meng Zhi hung up the phone.

She looked at Ji Yi and said, "Boss Ji, I have to leave for a while."

"Go and do your thing." Ji Yi stood up from the wicker chair with a smile and supported Xiaoba instead of Meng Zhi.

Although I don’t know what was said in the phone call Meng Zhi received.

But he could make a guess.

It's just that now that the matter in Mingshi is over, she needs to deal with some of her Meng family's affairs in Mingshi.

Meng Zhi smiled and then walked outside.

Just as Meng Zhi left, Chu Qian and Mu Yu upstairs also received a call.

After a while, the two women also came down from upstairs. They said hello and left.

Xiaoba, who was helped by Ji Yi to sit down on the wicker chair, saw this scene and instantly became speechless.

"It doesn't matter if Miss Chu gets the call and goes out, who does she, Miss Mu, count?"

It's not that Xiaoba has any objections to Muyu.

On the contrary, he felt that Miss Mu was very appealing to him.

But there were some things...he really couldn't understand.

For example, right now, when Chu Qian and the others went out, they were probably going to discuss matters in Mingshi.

No, to be precise, I went to discuss future plans.

As Chu Qian is one of the core members of the Chu family, it is natural for her to discuss it.

But what about Muyu?

This girl is a big lady.

Although her status in the Mu family was not ordinary, he didn't believe that she was qualified to handle this kind of thing.

Du Chan'er, who led Yuyu's little hand downstairs to the yard, looked at Xiao Ba who was speechless and confused, and suddenly chuckled.

She looked at Xiaoba with interest and asked, "Do you think the person who can become best friends with Chu Qian is really just a young lady?"

"Why not?" Xiaoba raised his eyelids and chuckled: "Isn't it normal for a smart person to have a stupid person as a foil next to him?"

"You!" Looking at Xiaoba who didn't care, Du Chaner covered her mouth and chuckled twice: "Xiaoyu is not as simple as you see."

Perhaps, Muyu now is indeed a bit naive and simple.

But it is impossible to say that Mu Yu is really just a simple young lady.

If she was really just a young lady, how could she become best friends with Chu Qian.

Well, even if they have known each other since childhood and are best friends who grew up together, she and Chu Qian will still influence each other.

Being with someone like Chu Qian, even if she is an extremely ordinary person, after so many years... she should not be as simple as a young lady.

"I agree with what Sister Chan'er said." Ji Yi nodded slightly and said with emotion: "Chu Qian has lived here for so long. Apart from Mu Yu, who else in her circle of friends have you seen coming here? "

Xiaoba opened his mouth and fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, apart from Mu Yu, they have really never met Chu Qian's other friends since Chu Qian lived here with Ji Yi.

Let alone meeting her, I have never seen Chu Qian call her other friends through video.

Even when some people of Chu Qian's level came to Mingshi before, their attitude towards Chu Qian seemed very intriguing.

They have respect and fear when facing Chu Qian, and they also feel restrained.

There is no relaxation at all like seeing friends.

It can be seen that Chu Qian has very few friends.

Even if it's as small as... I'm afraid there may be only Mu Yu.

And Mu Yu can become friends with such Chu Qian, whether they have known each other since they were children, or they have gradually come into contact with each other after they grow up, it all means that Mu Yu is extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Xiaoba secretly smacked his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Is it possible that Miss Mu is a real person and doesn't show her face?"

"I can't say for sure in the future, but it is indeed a bit stupid now." Ji Yi burst out laughing.

But soon, the smile on Ji Yi's face disappeared.

He took out his cell phone that vibrated twice in his trouser pocket and looked at a text message he received on it. He was silent for a few seconds.

Seeing that the smile on Ji Yi's face disappeared after looking at her phone, Du Chan'er had some guesses and asked softly: "Is your mother-in-law gone?"

Ji Yi nodded, thought for a while and said to Du Chan'er: "Go to the Shen family to accompany Sister Ping, and also help the Shen family these days."

"Okay." Du Chan'er did not refuse, but soon hesitated: "What about you? Don't plan to go?"

"I won't go." Ji Yi subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the sky, feeling a little melancholy: "My mother-in-law didn't let me go, and I don't know in what capacity I should go."

Du Chan'er was immediately relieved when she heard that it was her mother-in-law's arrangement.

As for what Ji Yi said later, Du Chaner could understand it.

Really speaking, Ji Yi has no relationship with her mother-in-law or even the Shen family.But my mother-in-law has always given Ji Yi a lot of help.

Not only that, Ji Yi regarded her mother-in-law as an elder in her heart, and her mother-in-law regarded Ji Yi as her own child.

Therefore, if Ji Yi went to the Shen family, it would not be an exaggeration to wear sackcloth and show mourning.

But because there is no blood relationship, etc., if he wears hemp and mourns, some people will point fingers.

Ji Yi didn't care about this, but when the time came, the Shen family would feel a little embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Du Chan'er could understand the entanglement and embarrassment in Ji Yi's heart.

She raised her hand and touched Ji Yi's head, and said with some regret: "You should have guessed this kind of thing a long time ago. Why didn't you let your mother-in-law adopt you as your godson or grandson two days ago? In this way, you won't There are these tangles.”

"I can pull off this face, but my mother-in-law doesn't want to!" Ji Yi sighed with some regret.

Being a godson or grandson to her mother-in-law is not a shameful thing at all for Ji Yi.

After all, he regarded his mother-in-law as his elder, and her mother-in-law also treated him as her own child.

And this is just a nominal identity.

There is no way that after having this relationship, he would go and compete with the three Shen brothers and sisters.

But two days ago, when I was hanging out with my mother-in-law and talking about something, I expressed such an idea, and my mother-in-law directly rejected it.

And he refused very simply.

As for the reason, it's quite simple.

One of the reasons is that it is inappropriate.

Because at his current age and status in Ming City, whether her mother-in-law considers herself her godson or her godson, she will always bring some gossip to herself and the Shen family.

After all, at his age, his mother-in-law could only recognize him as her grandson.

But with his status in Ming City, if his mother-in-law accepted him as her grandson, many people in Ming City would inexplicably feel twice as inferior in front of the Shen family, and it would be inevitable to cause trouble for the Shen family.

After all, people who reach the top place great importance on face-related matters such as status and seniority!

But if the mother-in-law considers him her godson, it will also lead to gossip.

After all, the age gap is too big. Many people would laugh at him being a son who is only old enough to be a grandson.

Of course, neither Ji Yi nor her mother-in-law cared much about this.

But considering the Shen family's reputation, Ji Yi didn't persist in the end.

"Okay, you go to Shen's house now. Xiaojiu should be nearby. I'll ask him to send you there." Soon, Ji Yi's thoughts slowly gathered together, and he said helplessly: "Although I believe Sister Ping's Mentality, but with someone watching from the side, she can feel better."

"Okay." Du Chan'er didn't hesitate, raised her feet and planned to walk outside.

But after taking a step or two, she stopped.

"Do you mind if I bring Xiao Yuyu with me?"

"Take...bring it with you." Ji Yi frowned at first, feeling that it was not suitable, but after thinking about it, he sighed and agreed.

With Yuyu around, Shen Ping would be able to get out of her sadness faster.

And...in a sense, Yuyu's departure...can be regarded as a representation of his passing.

"Let's go." Seeing Ji Yi's agreement, Du Chan'er picked up Xiao Yuyu and walked out of the yard quickly.

After he and Ji Yi were the only ones left at home, when Xiao Ba was about to comfort Ji Yi, a sudden gust of cold wind blew, making him shiver.

With some difficulty, he raised his hands and tightened his coat. His words of comfort suddenly changed due to the bleak cold wind just now: "Now Mingshi... suddenly makes people feel a little strange!"

Mingshi is still Mingshi.

There are still the same number of people inside.

But he inexplicably felt that Mingshi now seemed to have less of a sense of familiarity and more of a sense of strangeness.

Ji Yi took out cigarettes from his pocket. After lighting one himself, he handed one to Xiaoba's mouth, waited for him to hold it in his mouth, and then used a lighter to light it for him.

Exhaling a puff of thick smoke from his mouth, Ji Yi held the cigarette in his left hand and sighed softly: "Because some people are passing away, and some people are gradually falling silent..."

Mingshi is still the same Mingshi.

But Mingshi...hasn't it changed?

In Mingshi before, there were people like Mother-in-law and Old Man Qian, people like Zhou Lao Qiwei, people like Kang Gupu Dajun, people like Zhou Tianjiao Guyan and Qiao Nanbei...

But now, old man Qian is dead and his mother-in-law has left. The old drunkard and the guy who likes to stay in the yard still ignore foreign affairs.

As for people like Mr. Zhou and Qi Wei, they gradually became silent.

Even Kang Gu and the others, as well as Zhou Tianjiao and Gu Yan, were much quieter.

So...the current Mingshi city makes them feel strange...

Xiaoba became quiet.

His thoughts also seemed a little scattered.

After a while, Xiaoba said in a muffled voice: "I liked the old Mingshi."

"I like it too." Ji Yi nodded empathetically, but then smiled: "But this is the development of the times, there are always people getting old, people always leaving, and there are always people taking advantage of the situation!"

If Ji Yi's prediction is correct, it won't be long before among these old friends in Ming City, those who should retire will retire, and those who should live in seclusion will live behind the scenes.

Soon, the situation in Ming City will completely change.

When Xiaoba heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Ji Yi and suddenly joked: "Boss, you are in your prime at this age. I didn't expect that you would be treated like an older generation."

Ji Yi was also happy when he heard this.

Logically speaking, he is a serious member of the younger generation.

Even among the younger generation, they are relatively young.

But I didn't expect that because I rose to prominence a little early, I would now be mixed up in the circle of the older generation.

This is really... some things in the world are impermanent!

Looking at Ji Yi who was looking silly and happy, Xiaoba asked in a joking tone: "How are you doing? Do you feel a secret feeling in your heart?"

"I'm also a young man, so... of course!" Ji Yi burst out laughing and even explained it to Xiaoba.

"Think about it. In a few years or ten years, when I get together with my old friends in Mingshi, some old guys with their children point at me and introduce them as my friends. You name them Ji Uncle, Grandpa Ji, that would be so interesting."

When Xiaoba heard this, he began to think about it subconsciously.

A few years later, some old guys got together with Ji Yi, bringing their sons and grandsons who were older than Ji Yi, and asked them to call Ji Yi uncle or grandpa. It was interesting to think about the scene.

Thinking about it, Xiaoba suddenly became silly and happy, and said with a smile: "Remember to take me with you when the time comes. I also want to experience that feeling."

Seeing that Xiaoba was also interested, Ji Yi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Unexpectedly, this guy also likes to join in the fun!

"Hey!" After Xiaoba laughed for a while, he suddenly sighed sadly: "Although Mingshi is inexplicably strange to me now, thinking about having to leave here in a few days, I still feel a little bit sad. Sad."

"It's normal. After all, I have been here for so many years." Ji Yi nodded with some empathy.

Mingshi has become their home.

I have to leave here next, how could I not feel a little sad?

It is precisely because of this that he has been wandering outside the past few days.

Because he couldn't tell when he would come back again, or even whether he would come back.

So he wanted to imprint Mingshi's appearance in his heart.

At least...you can still have a thought this way, right?
"Boss, please take me to Dishui River and have a look." Xiaoba suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Yi, with a little request in his eyes.

"Okay." Ji Yi guessed the reason and agreed without thinking.

Then he supported Xiaoba and walked out of the yard.

When he first picked up Xiaoba, it was at a location in Dashui River.

That place was where he and Xiaoba first met.

So it’s understandable that Xiaoba wants to visit that place before leaving.

Soon, Xiaoba sat in Sanbengzi's car.

He looked at Ji Yi who was riding a three-bouncer towards Wutong Street, and said softly: "Boss, I actually don't want to leave here."

"I don't want to either." Ji Yi hummed softly and said without looking back, "But I have to leave, but you can stay."

"No." Xiaoba raised his head and looked at the sky, with a smile on his face.

"Wherever you are, boss, I will be there." (End of Chapter)
