Chapter 112 First Move!
Looking at the girl in front of him, Ji Chengyun also fell into deep thought.
How could he not understand his father’s words? But if he did that, the connection between himself and his father would inevitably fade.
Perhaps sensing Ji Chengyun’s thoughts, Ji Yunqi smiled.
“Alright, alright, look at you, is it that serious?”
“Dad, you…”
Ji Yunqi raised a finger to Ji Chengyun’s lips: “Alright, no need to say more. You and I are father and son, we were, we are, and we will always be. This is an unchangeable fact. We are father and son, how can our feelings fade because of some small matters?”
“Don’t tell me you want to be an ungrateful person?”
Ji Chengyun quickly shook his head: “I don’t, Dad, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Isn’t that how it should be? Since you will always respect me, why bother caring so much?”
After carefully considering his father’s words, Ji Chengyun felt relieved. His father was right, how could a small matter weaken the bond between father and son?
Damn it, don’t underestimate the bond between us!
“Hurry back, your father still has things to deal with. Remember to tell your maternal grandfather and the others.”
Ji Chengyun nodded. He wouldn’t ask his father what he was going to do. If his father didn’t tell him, it meant he didn’t need to know.
Since that was the case, Ji Chengyun naturally wouldn’t stop him. He just needed to watch everything quietly.
“Okay, Dad, be careful too, alright?”
“Brat, you’re worried about your old man now? Hurry back.”
“Okay.”
……….
After watching his son leave, Ji Yunqi looked at the message sent by Gu Yunlan on his phone.
[Let’s go today, it’s been dragging on a bit too long.]
Although he was a little reluctant, Ji Yunqi knew that the sooner these matters were resolved, the sooner he would be free. Then he would be completely free.
He would just treat it as a business trip. Anyway, his son would explain. However, it would be best to inform his wife and the others.
Ji Yunqi took out his phone, edited the message, and clicked send!
[Yun: Wife, I’m going to handle some things. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll be back in a few days. If there are any problems, Jiang You knows the details.]
A simple message was enough. After all, in Ji Yunqi’s opinion, this was not a particularly serious matter. It was just about going to see that family.
After returning to his room to change into simpler clothes, Ji Yunqi only packed a few small items before setting off. After all, this trip, in her opinion, was just for a while, and there was no need to make a big fuss.
After sending a message to Gu Yunlan, Ji Yunqi carried his suitcase and walked towards the entrance of the residential area. Gu Yunlan had said someone would pick him up.
As expected, when Ji Yunqi arrived at the entrance of the residential area, he saw a familiar figure. Wasn’t this Gu Yunlan himself?
Didn’t he say someone would come to pick him up? So he himself was coming, and he thought it would be someone else.
“Yo, you’re here, let’s go, we’re going to the airport.”
“Okay…” Ji Yunqi was now doubting his father-in-law’s intelligence…
Only because the car Gu Yunlan came to pick him up in… was a Wuling Hongguang… and the cheapest model at that…
Didn’t they say the Gu family was a prominent family in Kyoto? Why, can’t they even afford a car under 100,000?
Perhaps sensing Ji Yunqi’s somewhat disdainful gaze, Gu Yunlan showed an embarrassed expression: “Ahaha, that, don’t mind it. After all, my home is in Kyoto. I borrowed this from a friend in Rongcheng. It’s not that we don’t have the ability…”
“Sigh…”
Ji Yunqi nodded, then walked forward with a hint of pity in his eyes and patted Gu Yunlan on the shoulder: “It’s okay, I understand, I won’t dislike it…”
“This…”
Now, Ji Yunqi was almost certain of the guess in her heart. If the Gu family was really a prominent family, then the friends in Rongcheng should be of the same caliber, right? The car they borrowed shouldn’t be of this level.
But it didn’t matter, she wouldn’t have any objections. If this family treated her well, she might stay for a few more days, but it was impossible for her to stay for a long time.
Gu Yunlan knew that any explanation at this time would be futile. He could only shake his head helplessly. It seemed this child didn’t understand the family’s strength.
When he tells her, she probably won’t dislike it, and might even get very excited.
If that were the case, it would naturally be the best. As long as he could impress her, it would be easier to keep her, and then…
………….
While waiting at the airport, Ji Yunqi couldn’t hold on any longer. She had slept a little late last night, Luo Yao had also harassed her, and she had to get up early in the morning to prepare, including makeup.
This made Ji Yunqi completely unable to rest, and she was so sleepy now, extremely exhausted.
Looking at his niece beside him, her eyelids drooping, Gu Yunlan felt a bit of heartache. He looked at the time, it was still early, so he gently poked Ji Yunqi’s little head, allowing her to lean on him and rest for a while.
Ji Yunqi was already very tired and didn’t bother to care about so many things. She simply leaned on Gu Yunlan’s shoulder and dozed off.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Gu Yunlan’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. Looking at the clothes on his niece and the last time she appeared at the housing center.
All these things showed that this niece was actually living a very good life. Whether she would still look down on the Gu family in Kyoto was really hard to say.
He had been biased before, but since things had progressed to this point, he was helpless. He could only hope that she would like it.
She would like the Gu family, she would like the arrangements made for her, she would like the arrangements made for her… and… she would like the fiancé arranged for her…
Time passed by, and as the time approached, Gu Yunlan woke Ji Yunqi up.
“We should go, don’t sleep. You can sleep more on the plane later.”
“Okay…”
Looking at the suitcase beside her, and then at the still energetic Gu Yunlan in front of her, Ji Yunqi wondered if she should use her advantage.
“You drag it for me.”
Before Gu Yunlan could react, a white suitcase fell beside him, and the girl beside him had already walked towards the boarding gate.
Gu Yunlan could only smile helplessly at this. This niece of his…
She was quite cute.
…………….
Looking at the clouds outside the window, Ji Yunqi’s thoughts began to drift.
Kyoto…
This was a place she had never been to. Even though her father-in-law and the others were here, she had never come before. Because she was worried that her wife would be unhappy, she had never set foot on this land.
The capital of this country!
In the past, she had only heard how prosperous Kyoto was, but she had never truly experienced it. This trip here, she could look around.
Although she had told her wife that she was on a business trip, it was normal to relax a little during a business trip, wasn’t it?
She hoped her wife wouldn’t blame her then.
No, no, even if she blamed her, she wasn’t afraid. All she needed to do was to act cute, be adorable, and send a few emojis, and it would be fine.
However…….
She should first solve her sleepiness. And when she arrived in Kyoto, she should go to the hospital for a physical examination. She had been feeling a bit out of sorts lately.
Could it be……..
Kidney deficiency?
It shouldn’t be, right? If she was physically weak in her current state, it would be unreasonable.
Thinking about these things now was meaningless. She would know after a check-up at the hospital, there was no need for her to think about it.
However, Ji Yunqi was still a little scared. After all, the last time she felt that her body was very uncomfortable and she went to the hospital for a check-up.
The examination result was terminal illness!
That was also the end of her previous life. She didn’t want the result to be the same when she went for an examination this time.
Speaking of which, didn’t this girl also have the same terminal illness? However, as she was resurrected through this body, the terminal illness had disappeared without a trace.
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t happen again.
Ji Yunqi no longer had any hope. As long as it wasn’t a terminal illness, anything would be fine!
As her mind became more and more tired, Ji Yunqi stopped thinking and leaned back in her seat, slowly falling asleep…
…………..
When Ji Yunqi opened her eyes again, it was already completely dark, and the trip had already arrived at its destination – Kyoto!
[New map unlocked]
“Mmm, are we here?” Ji Yunqi opened her eyes in a daze. The scenery outside the window was completely dark.
“Let’s go, we… home!”
Ji Yunqi was slightly stunned. Looking at the man beside her, her heart was filled with emotion. This sentence, “home”…
“Okay, let’s go.”
As soon as she walked out of the airport, Ji Yunqi was led by Gu Yunlan into a black commercial vehicle. Ji Yunqi could no longer see what kind of car it was, as it was already night.
Or perhaps she didn’t want to see it. She was very sleepy and just wanted to get to her destination and rest.
However, things were clearly not going to be that smooth.
The black commercial vehicle took them all the way until they arrived at a detached villa…
“How is it? Isn’t it magnificent? You must have never been to a place like this before, right?” Gu Yunlan’s face was filled with pride, as if all of this was the result of his hard work.
Ji Yunqi did not show any excessive shock, because she really did not feel that it was very luxurious or magnificent. When she video called with her father-in-law sometimes, the scenes she saw were much more luxurious than this.
This also made Ji Yunqi confused. Didn’t they say that the Gu family was a prominent family in Kyoto? Why did it feel less luxurious than her father-in-law’s house?
Could it be that her father-in-law was some hidden big boss?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
If that were the case, why would she have worked so hard back then? She would be so powerful now just by living off others. But it was good to just think about it.
“Yes, it’s quite magnificent and luxurious.” Ji Yunqi couldn’t say that it was just ordinary, so she could only compliment it casually.
When Gu Yunlan led Ji Yunqi into the hall, the scene she imagined of a crowd of people did not appear. Instead, only three people were sitting quietly on the sofa, waiting for them.
Ji Yunqi recognized one of them, who was Gu Yunlan’s wife – Li Wei. In terms of relationship, she was her… aunt?
Besides her, there was a middle-aged man of a similar age to her, and a girl who looked ordinary and was around her current age.
However, among the three people in front of her, apart from Li Wei looking at her with a smile, the other two, although they were also smiling, how could the experienced Ji Yunqi not tell that their smiles were fake?
If she guessed correctly, this middle-aged man should be her… no, it should be the biological father of this girl. As for the identity of the other girl, Ji Yunqi couldn’t guess.
“Come, Yunqi, come and sit.” Li Wei smiled and took Ji Yunqi’s hand, pulling her to sit on the sofa.
Then she looked at the two people in front of her: “Let me introduce them to you.”
“This is the head of the Gu family, your father.”
Ji Yunqi looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, her brows furrowed. She disliked this man. She didn’t see the look of family in his eyes, but rather a look like he was looking at merchandise.
She really disliked this kind of look, even hated it.
With just one glance, Ji Yunqi decided not to have any further interaction with the Gu family. She would look around for a couple of days and then go back. She really couldn’t like this family.
Then, Li Wei motioned Ji Yunqi to look at the other girl, but her expression was now only awkward and helpless.
“This is… your older sister, her name is Gu Yunzhi.”
“Sister?” Ji Yunqi caught the keyword. This “sort of” was very interesting. Sister?
If she is, she is; if she isn’t, she isn’t. Why say “sort of”?
She came home tonight, and logically speaking, there should only be her own family. And this “sort of” sister… is very intriguing~
“Hello, sister.” Ji Yunqi’s expression remained unchanged, still wearing a calm smile.
Looking at Ji Yunqi’s smile, Gu Yunzhi secretly clenched her fists, and the jealousy in her eyes could not be hidden.
Gu Yunlan on the side could only sigh, then turn his head away, not wanting to look at Gu Yunzhi.
Gu Yunzhi had also grown up under his care. How could he not know what this person was thinking?
You must know that Ji Yunqi only changed her clothes in a hurry and left with Gu Yunlan today, without removing her makeup… Although Ji Yunqi was not a stunning beauty, she could definitely be called beautiful.
What’s more, she had delicate makeup on her face. This appearance was enough to make the already dissatisfied Gu Yunzhi feel jealous.
And this fierceness did not escape Ji Yunqi’s eyes. In just a few words, she had already grasped the general situation of the Gu family.
However, she still dared not make a rash conclusion. The only thing she could be completely sure of now was that this father and this sister did not seem happy about her return.
This was exactly what she wanted. When she left, she would be without any scruples.
“Your room has been arranged. Yunlan, take her to rest first.” Gu Ming clearly did not want to say more at this time, or rather, did not need much communication.
Ji Yunqi was also happy to be at ease. Talking to people who disliked her was really tiring. This was good…
“Sigh, don’t mind him, that’s just how he is. I’ll take you to rest.”
“Okay.”
Ji Yunqi’s room was arranged at a corner on the second floor. From its location, it was a bit secluded, but she didn’t mind it at all.
After pulling Ji Yunqi’s suitcase into the room, Gu Yunlan looked at Ji Yunqi: “What do you want to do in the next period of time?”
“I’m going to the hospital tomorrow.” Ji Yunqi was not foolish enough to go to the hospital by herself. She was not familiar with the hospitals in Kyoto. Who knew if there were any differences from those in Rongcheng?
What’s more, since the Gu family could be considered a prominent family, they should have some privileges, right? Although she didn’t like it here, she could use it to her advantage, couldn’t she?
She was not a novice who only knew how to retreat and not get involved in family matters.
At this time, she should use it more, “shepherd the sheep,” rather than not use it at all.
It would be foolish to not use readily available resources.
“Hospital? Why are you going to the hospital? Are you unwell somewhere?” Gu Yunlan looked at the seemingly fine Ji Yunqi in front of him and couldn’t understand why she was going to the hospital.
“I’ve just been feeling a bit unwell lately and want to get a check-up.”
“A physical examination?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it. I’ll take you tomorrow, okay?”
Ji Yunqi’s lips showed a smile that ordinary people couldn’t detect. Isn’t this how it turned out?
Little brat, wasn’t she still being played around by Grandpa? Now it’s great, she doesn’t have to run around herself anymore. Someone has already arranged it for her.
At that time, she only needed to bring herself.
The hospitals in Kyoto should be better than those in Rongcheng, because she had heard that the hospitals in Kyoto were excellent in all aspects, unlike the hospitals in Rongcheng, which were mainly famous for their proctology.
Hmm…
That’s right, after all, there are many people in Rongcheng who like to eat spicy food, so it’s normal for proctology to be excellent.
“That… the wardrobe in the room has prepared a lot of clothes for you, you can try them on. There are also pajamas and nightgowns. There is a dedicated bathroom in the room. You can take a shower and have a good rest.”
“Okay, thank you.”
………….
As Gu Yunlan’s figure disappeared from Ji Yunqi’s sight, Ji Yunqi took out her makeup remover from the suitcase and removed the makeup that had been on her face all day.
To be honest, although makeup can make people look good and beautiful, it was really uncomfortable to have it on the face.
As the makeup was removed, Ji Yunqi also took down the bun on her head.
She casually took a white silk nightgown from the wardrobe and walked directly into the bathroom…
Now, Ji Yunqi had no aversion to these women’s clothes and could handle them very naturally.
As Ji Yunqi in the bathroom slowly took off her clothes, a perfect figure appeared before her eyes.
Ji Yunqi didn’t know how long it had been since she last looked carefully at this body. Compared to when she was just reborn, this body had really changed a lot.
She remembered that she was extremely weak back then, her face was haggard, and she looked like she was malnourished. Her skin was not smoothly fair, but a sickly pale white.
Her figure was also not proportioned, with no flat chest and no uplifted hips. Apart from her small face being relatively delicate, there was nothing about her that could be described as “beautiful.”
And now…
Her skin was fair, her face was delicate, and even every strand of her hair seemed to be well-moisturized and smooth.
Her chest had also become two small peaks. Although it wasn’t perfect yet, it was enough to support some clothes that required a good figure.
If she hadn’t seen all of this along the way, who would have believed that a few months could cause such a drastic change in a person!
Twenty minutes later…
Ji Yunqi wiped her wet hair and walked out of the bathroom wearing the white silk nightgown.
Just as Ji Yunqi was about to get the hairdryer to dry her hair before going to bed, the room door was knocked on at this moment.
Ji Yunqi didn’t think it was a stranger, because if someone could sneak in and harm her here, then… the Gu family wouldn’t need to do business in Kyoto.
If that were the case, they would be completely useless.
As Ji Yunqi opened the door, her so-called “sister” was standing at the door.
The moment the door was opened, Sheng Yan’s astonishment flashed across Gu Yunzhi’s eyes, followed by a surge of anger!
“What is it?” Facing these people who clearly had malicious intentions towards her, Ji Yunqi never spoke politely. It was already generous of her not to close the door on the spot.
“Let me tell you, don’t think that just because you’ve returned to the Gu family, you’ll change the fact that you’re a bumpkin!”
Ji Yunqi: ???
What did I do, sister, that you have to come to my room in the middle of the night to scold me?
Are you crazy?
“Neurotic…” Ji Yunqi slowly uttered two words, then turned around and planned to leave. She thought she was dealing with someone important, but it turned out to be just this?
“You come back!”
“Please leave. My feet are on me, you can’t control me~”
“You…”
Ji Yunqi was unwilling to pay attention, but the sound of breaking wind that followed made her expression solemn, and the towel in her hand lost its support and began to fall from mid-air.
Ji Yunqi stretched out her left hand and grabbed the arm that was attacking her.
Ji Yunqi didn’t make a move before not because she lacked the ability, but because it was unnecessary. When facing family members, she wouldn’t make a move, because it was easy to accidentally injure her family.
When facing outsiders… except for the thugs she encountered in that unfinished building at the beginning, when she was too weak to resist, she actually didn’t have too many dangers that she was worried about.
Having lived for decades in her previous life, and having grown up without the protection of her parents, how could she be afraid of fighting with someone?
“You… let go!” Gu Yunzhi never expected Ji Yunqi’s reaction to be so swift.
“I usually don’t make a move, which is to say, I don’t fire the first shot. But if someone attacks me or my family, I will not hold back!”
As she spoke, Ji Yunqi quickly turned her head, then exerted force with her arm, pulling Gu Yunzhi’s arm behind her.
Gu Yunzhi was caught off guard by the sudden burst of strength and was pulled towards Ji Yunqi.
And it was at this moment that Ji Yunqi released Gu Yunzhi’s arm and kicked out.
Gu Yunzhi was also hit by this kick, and she was sent flying backward instantly!
