The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again

The coquettish voice that gave people goose bumps reached Xue Ji's ears, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Cousin...cousin, you...you're back?"

The person who came was Shangguan Ronger, Xue's cousin from his step-aunt's family.

Her father was an assigned county magistrate in the south. Over the years, he had no hope of promotion because of his mediocre performance.

Shangguan Ronger is three months older than Xue Jida and has been weak and sickly since childhood.

When she was one year old, her mother took her back to Beijing to visit her relatives. She looked like a kitten, much smaller than Xue Ji, who was three months younger than her.

This made everyone in the Xue family feel heartbroken.

Fortunately, she has not been ill once since she came to Beijing. In just one month, she has gained weight visibly and her complexion has become rosy.

So, Xue begged to let the child be fostered in the Xue family.

At that time, Xue Ji's grandparents were still alive. Seeing that their granddaughter was pitiful, they couldn't bear it and decided to keep her in the mansion.

He even said that she and Xue Ji were of the same age and could be raised as twins.

Since then, Shangguan Ronger stayed in the Xue Mansion.

She considers herself the third young lady of the Xue family and has been inseparable from Xue Ji since childhood and grew up together with him.

Although they were inseparable, in fact, most of the time she was the one deliberately sticking to Xue Ji.

In fact, Xue Ji didn't like her very much.

It's because she always looks so pitiful and about to cry that people can't help but feel sorry for her.

Only Xue Ji, who had suffered a lot at her hands since childhood, knew that this was not her true face.

Don't be fooled by her petite and cute appearance, she looks like a pure and harmless little white rabbit.

In fact, he is a moody and ruthless person in private.

Whenever she was unhappy, she would vent her anger on the servants in her yard.

He had seen her stabbing the maids around her with needles with a ferocious look on her face more than once, and she would not allow them to make any sound, otherwise she would be more brutal.

Even her favorite white cat that had been with her for five years was skinned alive and tortured to death by her own hands.

But Shangguan Ronger, whenever she saw him, liked to call him cousin in a coquettish voice, biting her lips delicately, with her two big wet eyes blinking, looking harmless.

Although she was smiling with the corners of her mouth raised upward, it always made Xue Ji feel chilly.

Poor Xue Ji grew up under the shadow of such a childhood. Just when he reached the age of marriage, he was struck by a bolt from the blue.

His aunt actually wrote a letter to his parents, hoping to bring the two together and strengthen the relationship, so that he could marry Shangguan Ronger.

Before Xue's father and mother agreed, Xue Jixian became anxious.

He rushed into their room and said, "There is absolutely no possibility for Shangguan Rong'er and I. Even if I, Xue Ji, remain single for the rest of my life, I will never marry her!"

Then he ran away from home without looking back.

To protest, he simply hid outside, planning to go home after the storm had passed.

Unfortunately, he was so unlucky that even drinking cold water would get stuck in his teeth. On the second day, his wallet was stolen by a thief.

Just when a group of beggars were pressing him to the ground and trying to strip him of his clothes, Jin was like a shining fairy who saved him from the water.

At that time, Jin didn't know the identity of the handsome man in front of her. Although he was dressed well, he was dirty and wrinkled, and he looked dusty. She thought he was the son of a wealthy family who had fallen on hard times.

Out of sympathy, he stuffed ten taels of silver into his pocket and told him to go home and not to worry his family.

But she didn't realize that Xue Ji had been following her all the way to the gate of Jin's house.

At that time, the Jin family was still the richest man in Dayan, and the whole house was magnificent and splendid.

As a native Kyoto citizen, Xue Ji knew and guessed Jin's identity as soon as he arrived at the gate of Jin's mansion.

Mr. Jin is well-known for his philanthropy, so he probably doesn't need a job to do.

It happened that at that time, Jin's father came back from outside. He was always kind-hearted, and seeing that the child looked pitiful, he led him into the house.

When he entered the mansion, he was treated to a delicious meal and then allowed to take a bath and change clothes.

After he came out after washing clean, they recognized that he was the young man who had run away from home and the Xue family had been looking for him all over the street for the past two days.

Since then, he often went to Jin's house.

After a few interactions, he developed feelings for Jin while playing and fighting with her.

When Xue Ji was with Jin, he often complained to her about Shangguan Ronger.

Therefore, after Jin married into the Xue family, her relationship with Shangguan Ronger was not close, and they could basically only maintain superficial affection.

But when she was pregnant, Shangguan Ronger would often take the initiative to care for her and give her various supplements and nourishing soups.

After spending some time together, Jin felt that Shangguan Rong'er was not as bad as Xue Ji said.

But in the same month that she gave birth to Xue Jibai, Shangguan Ronger received a message from home saying that her grandmother was seriously ill and asked her to go back to take care of her.

Once he left, he never came back.

All I heard was that she got married later and was sent by her father to be the second wife of a county magistrate whose first wife died at the age of fifty.

When Xue Ji saw her at the gate of Cheng Mansion today, he was really shocked.

Shangguan Ronger saw his expression as if he had seen a ghost, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.

At this moment, Jin heard her husband's voice and poked her head out of the carriage.

"Husband, my sister asked me to go shopping together. My cousin heard about it and wanted to go with us to relax."

She looked at Xue Ji and squinted her eyes, indicating that she was helpless as well.

"Relax! What is she relaxing for?"

When she heard him ask this, Shangguan Ronger immediately covered her face and burst into tears.

A pitiful woman was standing at the gate of Cheng's house, crying.

When passers-by saw this, they couldn't help but imagine a drama of a woman going to the house of a heartless man to ask for an explanation.

When Xue Ji saw her behaving like this again, he became furious.

Even Jin's face turned dark. It's your first time as a guest at someone's home, and you're standing at the door crying. That's really rude of you.

She couldn't help but blame Shangguan Ronger for being ignorant.

"My cousin's husband passed away last month, and my cousin was in a bad mood, so she wanted to come to Kyoto to relax."

"If you are in a bad mood, just stay at home. It's not appropriate to visit someone who has just died."

When Xue Ji heard that her husband had just died, he not only did not feel the slightest sympathy for her, but when he saw her dressed so flashy, his disgust for her deepened.

Even the words he said didn't give her any face.

“Cousin, you…!”

Shangguan Ronger showed a hurt expression and looked at Xue Ji in disbelief.

"I never thought that you would treat me like this, even though we were childhood sweethearts.

If you don't want to see me, then I... I just want to go out for a walk. I heard from my sister-in-law that Madam Cheng San has a good temper, so I want to make some friends with her so that I can have someone to talk to in the future."

She wanted to leave in a huff, but suddenly she saw a man who looked like a banished immortal getting off the carriage behind Xue Ji. She couldn't take her eyes off him for a moment, so she changed her mind temporarily.
