Ji Lingchen said in a low voice, “She has been safe and sound in the Ji family for many days. Why did she fight today?”


The maid said, “Young master, I really don’t know about this.”


“Don’t let me find out that you are lying. No one can bully my people except me.” Ji Lingchen warned them and went directly to the monitoring room. He got hold of all the living room surveillance videos and watched them from beginning to end.


An hour later, Old Master Ji had a rough idea of the whole situation. He slammed the cane in his hand onto the ground. It immediately broke into pieces. A piece of debris bounced and landed near Feng Qi’s feet, giving her a fright.


Old Master Ji was very angry. He got off the sofa. His breathing was a little irregular. He was so angry that his face and ears were red. He pointed at Feng Qi but could not say a word. Seeing this, Ji Kangde immediately stood up and comforted Old Master Ji. “Dad, I’ll teach Feng Qi a lesson. Please don’t jeopardize your health because you’re angry. Feng Qi already knows that she was wrong.”


“You’ll teach her a lesson? Hmph, Feng Qi, you’ll apologize to the Fang family tomorrow,” Old Master Ji said, pointing at Feng Qi.


Feng Qi said, “Dad, I’m not going. I won’t go even if you beat me to death.”


Old Master Ji said, “Either apologize, or get the h*ll out of our family!” When Old Master Ji said this, everyone in the living room was stunned, and Feng Qi started sobbing uncontrollably. She thought about how she had been in the Ji family for so many years, but could not measure up to a daughter-in-law who had just moved in. She felt a little indignant.


“Fine…” Feng Qi turned around and ran out. She was definitely very angry.


Old Master Ji was so angry that he had to sit down again. With a serious expression, he said to his eldest son, “Tomorrow, come with me to the Fang family to apologize.”


Ji Kangde could not refuse his father’s request, so he had no choice but to agree.


After watching the surveillance videos, Ji Lingchen returned to his bedroom. He pushed open the door and saw a big bump behind the curtain as soon as he entered. He knew immediately that someone was hiding behind the curtain. He could hear her.


Fang Xiaonuan tried to calm down. She called her parents and said, “Dad, I just got home. I heard that you and mom came by today. Why did you leave in such a hurry? Why didn’t you wait for me to come back?”


He did not know what the reply was on the other end of the phone. Fang Xiaonuan smiled and said, “Aww, don’t you know me? I can’t be bullied. Staying at home was too boring, so I thought of going out for a walk. I didn’t expect that you old folks would come to see me. Seriously, you two should have called me!”


Ji Lingchen deliberately walked slower. He did not make any sound as he walked. He walked to the sofa and sat down, listening to Fang Xiaonuan’s conversation with her family.


“Ah? You mean Lingchen! He’s been very good to me. Today, he was the one that suggested I go out more since I was bored. Old Master Ji is also very good to me. He looks fierce on the surface, but he’s actually been taking care of me. He knew that I was having trouble adjusting to life here, so he sent a few servants to take care of me! Big brother and sister-in-law are also great. Although sister-in-law can be a little cynical, she is good to me. The Ji family has many rules. You know that I don’t like to learn rules, so sister-in-law taught me a lot. She would occasionally complain, but it was mainly because I wasn’t paying attention. As for big brother, I don’t spend much time with him. After all, he’s busy with business. Dad, mom, don’t worry. I’m doing quite well here. You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll go home to see you in a few days.” As Fang Xiaonuan spoke, tears silently flowed down her face, she was afraid that they would see through her act if she continued talking, so she quickly hung up.


Ji Lingchen heard Fang Xiaonuan talk about everyone in his family. He felt an unprecedented sense of shame. A person in his late twenties was bullying a young girl in her early twenties. At that moment, Fang Xiaonuan pulled open the curtains and interrupted his thoughts.


“When did you come in?” Fang Xiaonuan was a little shocked to see him on the sofa.


“Just now.” Ji Lingchen looked at Fang Xiaonuan’s small face and could not say anything harsh. Moreover, he had seen the video and now knew what had happened.


Ji Lingchen deliberately copied the video onto his phone. He took the video from his phone and walked toward Fang Xiaonuan. “I hope you can take a look at it first. It didn’t happen like she said. She did show some disrespect toward your parents, but she did not order anyone to drive them away like she said.”


Fang Xiaonuan did not watch the video. She seemed like a frightened kitten who felt unsafe. She looked up at Ji Lingchen. “Are you trying to excuse her?”
