Luna swept a glance at Xiaoshi then at Wen Lin. Her eyes seemed to ask what she was up to. Wen Lin felt as though she was sitting on needles when she felt her gaze. Why would she glare at her so fiercely? Had she sensed something? 

Even so, she did not regret what she did. Whether Luna knew about it or not, it would not change the fact that Xiaoshi had feelings for her fiancee. No woman would tolerate their own love rival. Actually, she had nothing against Luna. She merely wanted to use her as a weapon against Xiaoshi. 

Xingyu led his fiancée to sit down beside his parents, completely ignoring Xiaoshi who was beside Ji Meiling. The atmosphere turned more awkward as soon as the two women who were meanyt to be romantic rivals sat at the same table. This was different from the two of them working in the same building, since they didn't share an office.

"Xiaoshi, how have you been? I heard you are working for Xia Luna now. Is everything alright? " Ji Feifei spoke up, her eyes full of malice as she indirectly insinuated that Luna must be bullying Xiaoshi.

Xiehan tensed up slightly, knowing that the damned b*tch would not randomly speak up unless she was up to something. He subconsciously wanted to glare daggers at her.

Xiaoshi did not seem to detect the malice, she smiled at Ji Feifei. "I'm alright. Luna is a great boss." 

As expected, Ji Feifei clung onto this point. "really? You should be careful when dealing with people, you know? You cannot blindly trust people like her." 

This time, Lanni could not hold back. "Ji Feifei, what are you trying to imply?" 

"Obviously, that she is the daughter of a jinx, a pretentious b*tch and a murderer." 

"How dare you!" Lanni wanted to tear her into pieces. 

However, Luna chuckled. "Sis, I can't believe you would get fl.u.s.tered over the words of someone like her. Are you meeting her for the first time?" 

Lanni sat back down with a displeased expression. "I know...but that doesn't mean I will tolerate her saying such crap about my sister." 

In response to her words, Ji Feifei scoffed. "Did I lie? Your sister is such a pretentious b*tch! If not, would she snatch a man from Shishi? She knows fully well how much Shishi loves him… and she is her employee as well as her brother-in-law's cousin. How heartless does one need to be in order to do such an inhumane thing?" 

Everyone turned to look at Ji Feifei and wondered whether there was something wrong with her brain. 

Xinghe frowned. "Ji Feifei has been in jail for so long. She should not know a thing of what has been happening lately, much less have such bizzare misunderstandings about them. I wonder who told her such things." 

While speaking, her gaze trailed towards Wen Lin, indirectly accusing her. 

Knowing that the matter might get out of control, Wen Lin cleared her throat. "Feifei, don't be mean. Luna is your sister-in-law's sister, so you have to be polite to her." 

The latter rolled her eyes with no intention to do as she was told. 

As they spoke, the Lins arrived, and the atmosphere that was initially starting to calm down immediately tensed up again. To be exact, it was Ji Feifei who was tensed. What was that b*tch doing here?! 

Lin Jian had walked in with his parents following behind him. Beside him was Ruby, whose hand he was holding. 

Before anyone could ask him, Lin Jian walked forward to introduce Ruby. "Aunt Lin, Aunt Xinghe, Aunt Meiling, this is my girlfriend, Ruby. I knew that I would meet you here so I brought her along to introduce her." These three had been teaming up with his mother to constantly nag him about getting into a serious relationship so it was nothing out of the ordinary for him to introduce his genuine girlfriend to them. 

Wen Lin's eyebrows twitched slightly. 

Xinghe looked at the young woman and smiled. "Ruby? Neil Chan's daughter? Little Jian, You have a good eye." 

Ji Meiling smiled too. "That's true. She is so beautiful. Come here, let aunty have a good look at you." 

"Meiling, don't scare her!" Wen Lin berated Ji Meiling and pulled Ruby to her side.

At the same time, Madam Lin was full of pride. "My stupid son finally realized that he has been wasting his life away. Ruby, if he dares to bully you, tell me and I will kick his butt for you." 

"Am I really your son?" Lin Jian complained. 

In response, Qian Lihua, his mother, rolled her eyes and harrumphed. "Unfortunately, yes. How I wish I gave birth to a son like Xiehan or Xingyu instead. Would I still need an idiot who knows nothing but to play around with innocent girls?" 

"Mother, can you not embarass me?" He complained. 

She pinched his ear slightly. "Then can you not embarass yourself?" 

Although she was complaining, she was very pleased. The whole nation knew her son as a playboy. It was a relief that he finally became serious. As his mother, she could clearly tell that her son loved Ruby.

She sat beside Meiling to catch up. "How is Xiaoshi doing? I heard she is working now. What a responsible young woman." 

Ji Meiling was proud. "I hope she is not merely playing around for a few days." 

Qiao Lihua didn't pay any heed to Ji Feifei who was supposed to be the star of the day. She had always felt that the latter was not as innocent as she appeared, and she would not pretend to like her. She focused on the other girls instead. 

Shifting her gaze between Ruby and Xiaoshi, she frowned. "Huh?" 

"Aunty, is there… something wrong?" Xiaoshi asked nervously. 

"Nothing's wrong. I'm just baffled at the coincidence. Why do I feel like you and Ruby look so much alike?" 

Ji Feifei tensed up when she heard her words. 

"Now that you mention it. I have always thought so too! She even has eyes that look similar to Meiling's. What a sweet coincidence." Xinghe added. 

When Ji Feifei saw her aunt scrutinizing Ruby, she cursed under her breath. Did this b*tch come here to go against her?!

At the same time, Xiehan smiled. Heh. 

He then glanced at Ruby. "I think she looks a little like father. If I didn't know better, I would think she is our sister. It must be why she is best friends with Feifei—because of this sense of security. Right, Feifei?" 

"Y-yes." Ji Feifei wanted to explode. Why was Xiehan saying such things? Was he suspecting something? To ruin whatever thoughts they could have, she pretended to unconsciously say, "When Ruby was a teenager, she had an accident and was disfigured." 

Her implication was that she had to undergo a cosmetic surgery, which would definitely deter her original appearance. So, it was purely coincidental that she looked similar to the Jis. 

She thought her response was flawless, but Lanni raised an eyebrow. "Really? But I was Ruby's friend when we were young and I don't remember such a thing. She has always looked this way."

Ji Feifei pretended to smile but deep down, she so badly wanted to murder Lanni.

When Lanni realized this, she glanced at Lin Jian. Knowing that it would not be shocking if he made that kind of joke, he studied Ji Meiling curiously. 

"Aunt Meiling, are you sure you didn't have another baby and accidentally forget about her?" 

"You punk, what nonsense are you thinking about?" Ji Meiling laughed and pinched his cheek. 

Lin Jian raised an eyebrow. "You didn't? What about you, aunty Lin? Ah, now that I recall, Ruby's birthday is the same as Feifei's. Could it be that you had twins but didn't know about it?" 

Qiao Lihua couldn't stop herself anymore, she pulled her son's ears. "You idiot, what nonsense are you spewing?" 

Lin Jian rubbed his ear but resumed talking. "Am I? I've heard of such dramatic stories. I've even heard of babies being switched at birth." 

As though realizing something , Lanni gasped in pretend shock. "Ji Feifei doesn't resemble uncle and Aunty Ji in the slightest, yet Ruby does. Isn't it a little strange?" 

Xiehan smiled at her and pinched her secretly, but on the surface, he placed some food in her plate. "Stop fooling around. If you joke too much, Feifei might start to doubt her identity." 

Lanni chuckled and remained silent. 

This was all within Xiehan's wish. They didn't want to directly state that Ji Feifei was not the daughter of the Ji family but Ruby was. Not only would that be dramatic, they would alert the enemy too. So they decided to instead create a seed of doubt in Ji Huifen's and Wen Lin's hearts. This way, the couple might start to investigate. 

If Ji Feifei found out that she was being investigated, she would run to her supporter for help and give them just the chance they needed to find out who he was.
