In the next few days, Ji Yao and Zhou Xi contacted each other frequently. As time went by, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

They made appointments to go shopping from time to time. Seeing that Ji Yao's condition was getting better day by day, Zhou Xi felt relieved.

On this day, the two of them met to go shopping and buy bags. As soon as they arrived at the luxury store, two familiar figures broke into Ji Yao's sight.

Noticing the two people not far away, Ji Yao subconsciously paused in her steps. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes flashed with a little unnoticeable irritation.

Seeing this, Zhou Xi frowned worriedly, and curiously asked Tong Jiyao: "Why did you stop talking all of a sudden? Wasn't it fine just now? Is there something wrong with your body?"

"Zhou Xi, I don't want to hang out here today. How about we change places?"

"Okay, no problem. Since there are so many stores here, I don't have to buy from them."

Hearing what Ji Yao said, Zhou Xi keenly sensed something was wrong, but she didn't ask any more questions and just nodded with a smile.

Hearing this, Ji Yao looked at her with gratitude. Just as she was about to leave hand in hand, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Sister, it is indeed you, I thought I was wrong!"

The moment Ji Zimo's voice sounded, Ji Yao trembled all over, her face suddenly turned cold, and she stood stiffly on the spot, with no intention of turning around.

When Zhou Xi heard the address coming from behind him, he turned to look at the two people behind him curiously.

"Yao Yao, is that your family?"

"No, they are just acquaintances. I have nothing to do with them. Don't get me wrong."

"It doesn't matter, then there's no need to say hello, let's go."

Ji Yao's resistance was too obvious. Zhou Xi was not a fool and could naturally feel it.

She pulled Ji Yao to leave, but Ji Zimo was unwilling to let them go.

She walked quickly to Ji Yao and blocked her way, holding Lu Mu's hand with a smile.

"Sister, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you even say hello when you see your sister?"

"I have nothing to say hello to you. Sorry, I have something else to do. Please don't block my way."

Ji Yao looked at the person in front of her coldly, really unable to show a good look.

Hearing this, Ji Zimo raised a sneer on his lips.

"Sister, look at what you said. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. What's wrong with chatting? From the look of you, you should be here to buy a bag. Go in and have a look. If there is anything you like, tell me and I'll buy it. Here, don’t be embarrassed, we are half-sisters after all, even if you have no money, my sister will not dislike you."

Although Ji Zimo spoke like a sister, any fool could sense the hostility in his words.

Zhou Xi on the side heard this and frowned without any trace.

Her eyes glanced back and forth between Mother Lu and Zhou Xi. After a long time, she turned around and looked at Ji Yao in surprise.

She said that the two people in front of her looked familiar. If she remembered correctly, these three people were members of the Lu family and Ji family who had been having a quarrel some time ago.

Ji Yao......

I didn’t expect her Yao to be this Yao. "Zimo, how many times have I told you that since you have chosen our Jincheng family, you must be the wife of the Lu family with peace of mind. You should stop talking to those people you have interacted with before if it is not necessary, especially your sister. Our Lu family does not welcome such poor and sour people."

When Mother Lu heard what the person next to her said, she frowned with dissatisfaction.

She glanced at Ji Yao with disgust, her whole body showing dissatisfaction.

In her opinion, Ji Zimo was the best candidate for his perfect daughter-in-law, but for so long, Lu Jincheng was still unwilling to get engaged to Ji Zimo, and she didn't know what he was doing.

If this continues, others will come to see their Lu family’s jokes.

Hearing this, Ji Zimo pretended to be considerate and said: "Mom, don't say that. No matter what, my sister and I are a family. The matter between her and Jincheng is over, so don't worry about it anymore." I believe she has realized the gap between herself and Jincheng, and she will never pester him again in the future."

"She still wants to pester my son? What kind of virtue is it to take care of yourself without peeing and taking care of yourself? Even if you take off your clothes and stand in front of my son, my son will not look at him twice!"

Mother Lu simply ignored the fact that this was in public, and reduced Ji Yao to the mud in just a few words.

Hearing this, Ji Yao subconsciously clenched her hands hanging by her sides. Before she could speak, Zhou Xi quickly reached out and pulled the person behind her.

She took a step forward and looked at the two people in front of her with her chin raised.

"I have long heard that the Lu family's tutors are very interesting. Today I saw that they are indeed well-deserved. I really don't know how the dignified CEO of the Lu family has a mother like you."

"Who are you? I'm talking about Ji Yao, what does it have to do with you? No big or small, get out of here!"

"My name is Zhou Xi. Unfortunately, I am also a member of our circle. Although I usually don't like to negotiate with people like you, it is undeniable that many of your Lu family's businesses are linked to my family. Yes, if you keep this attitude, I can only react to my father."

Zhou Xi spoke with a half-smile. She stated her name directly and raised her eyebrows provocatively at the two people in front of her.

Upon hearing the word "Zhou Xi", the expressions of Mother Lu and Ji Zimo suddenly changed. They subconsciously looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Who would have thought that after so many days, Ji Yao would actually fall into the lap of Zhou Xi.

How did this woman do it?
  "Miss Zhou Xi, I'm sorry. We were blind and didn't recognize you just now. The words we just said were not directed at you. Please don't take it to heart."

"I know you are not targeting me, but Ji Yao is my friend. How can I bear it when you talk about her like this in front of me? Apologize immediately, or I will call."

Zhou Xi took out his cell phone as he spoke, pretending to call his father.

Seeing this scene, Ji Zimo bit her red lips with an ugly face. She was unwilling to bow her head in front of Zhou Xi.

Thinking about it, she turned to look at Ji Yao.

"Sister, what I just did was wrong. I apologize to you. Please talk to your friend. What I said was really not malicious. I just care about you..."

"Bah, we Yaoyao don't need this kind of hypocritical concern! I'm just a young lady from the Ji family. Isn't that amazing? Before I even entered the Lu family's door, you were screaming, you are really shameless ah!"

Zhou Xi used his verbal skills to the fullest.

Maybe it's because I have been suppressed for a long time on weekdays, and now I can't stop opening my mouth.

Seeing Ji Zimo's face getting more and more ugly, her voice became louder and louder.

"Yao Yao, let's go in and I'll buy you whatever you like!"
