It started with being betrayed by my ex-boyfriend

Bai Yunxi nodded. If her presence could help Murong's parents get over the grief of Murong Qianqian's death, then that might not be a bad thing, right?

They were chatting casually when a servant came to report: "Miss, the Ji family sent a gift, and the master asked to ask you if you want to accept it. The master said that if you don't want to accept it, he will let them take it back."

Bai Yunxi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect the Ji family to send a gift, and she didn't expect Murong Xiang to say such words.

You know, if a gift is returned, it is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the gift giver. And with the strength of the Ji family, if they suffer such humiliation, their counterattack will be quite terrible.

At least with the current capabilities of the Murong family, they would definitely not be able to resist that kind of counterattack.

She and Jin Yunlu looked at each other, and both saw a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.

Jin Yunlu subconsciously asked: "Who is the person from the Ji family who sent the gift?"

The servant said, "I don't know him, but from the tone of the guests, he is a very powerful person and looks very good. But his aura is too strong, we dare not look at him directly..."

Hearing this, Jin Yunlu and Bai Yunxi stood up at the same time.

Bai Yunxi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and before the servant finished speaking, he said directly: "I'll go take a look."

She and Jin Yunlu rushed to the front hall. The gifts sent by the Ji family were still placed at the door, large and small, piled on the ground. Murong Xiang was standing there with an unhappy look on his face, and the guests who came to congratulate him all had strange expressions on their faces.

Bai Yunxi looked up and saw that the person who came with the gift was none other than Ji Hanmo!

He still had the domineering aura, but his eyes were full of indifference and rejection of these so-called "noble families" who were not up to par.

His hair was neatly trimmed and his beard was freshly shaved, but his face seemed to have become smaller. Despite careful grooming, he could not hide the haggard look on his face.

Seeing Bai Yunxi, the cold-looking man finally uttered his first voice since entering the room: "Yunxi."

"Why are you here?" Bai Yunxi asked subconsciously.

Ji Hanmo stared at her closely and said calmly, "I'm here to congratulate you on becoming the daughter of the Murong family."

Murong Xiang snorted coldly and said, "The Murong family can't afford this generous gift from President Ji!"

Ever since Bai Yunxi was kicked out of the Ji family, Ji Hanmo has been going out with that woman named Han Ying every day, frequently attending various occasions. Did he think Murong Xiang was blind? Or did he think Bai Yunxi was blind? !

Why did he come to give her a gift at this time? To congratulate Bai Yunxi on becoming the daughter of the Murong family! Wouldn't this embarrass Bai Yunxi in front of so many guests? !

Those guests were all well-known figures, who didn't know Ji Hanmo? They all knew that the goddaughter that the Murong family wanted to adopt was Ji Hanmo's current wife. As for his recent gossip, everyone also knew a little bit, so they felt weird when they saw this scene today.

It was just because Ji Hanmo was not someone that was easy to mess with, and Tao Jingchen was just watching silently from the side, so everyone just looked at each other, but no one said anything.

"The gift is not for the Murong family. I give it to Yunxi." Ji Hanmo frowned and said directly.

It would have been fine if Murong Xiang had stopped him at the door just now, but he was really meddling too much!

Murong Xiang laughed in anger: "I never realized that President Ji really thinks highly of Yun Xi!"

Of course I respect my own wife! Seeing that he took in Bai Yunxi, Ji Hanmo was too lazy to argue with him, but his face suddenly darkened.

As soon as Bai Yunxi saw his expression, she knew that he was unhappy. She originally had no mood to care whether he was happy or not, but now that it was related to the Murong family, she couldn't ignore it.

"Mr. Murong, let me talk to him." She glanced at Ji Hanmo, turned and walked towards the side courtyard.

Ji Hanmo followed without saying a word.

He came just to find Bai Yunxi, and he seemed to ignore the local gentry in the room.

Such an arrogant person is really rare!

Murong Xiang's face turned pale, and he immediately ordered: "Follow the young lady, and don't let that person do anything to hurt her!"

Seeing this, Jin Yunlu hurriedly said with a smile: "Uncle Murong, don't be so nervous! Ji Hanmo is a man of his word. Since he is here to give a gift, he won't do anything to Yunxi. Yunxi has been with him for so long and knows his temper, otherwise he wouldn't have called him to talk alone."

Murong Xiang thought about it and it made sense, so he just snorted and said nothing more.

Bai Yunxi and Ji Hanmo walked into the side courtyard, and the others automatically walked away. In the side courtyard, which was not very big to begin with, they were the only two left in an instant.

"Yun Xi!" Ji Hanmo quickly chased after him.

God knows, his brain and his chest were about to explode. Ever since he and Bai Yunxi got married, they had never been apart for such a long time!

He had waited so long for this opportunity. The Murong family was going to adopt Bai Yunxi as their goddaughter, and all the local people with some reputation would go to congratulate them. Ji's company had just set up a branch in Jiangnan, so naturally, as the president, he had enough reasons and could finally enter the Murong family and meet Bai Yunxi!

So he started rehearsing since yesterday, planning how he would make his debut, and in the morning he urged the convoy to get here early.

He really wanted to see her.

But when he really arrived at the door of Murong's house, his mind went blank. All the predictions vanished the moment he entered Murong's house.

What's more, Murong Xiang obviously didn't welcome him and even said in front of him that if Bai Yunxi didn't want his gift, he should take everything back!

Ji Hanmo is a man who can calmly dominate everything in the business world. If Murong Xiang were to make such an accusation against someone else, a single order from him would be enough to prevent the other person from ever getting back on his feet.

But he couldn't. The Murong family was the only place that could take in Bai Yunxi. Murong Xiang's accusation was justified. If the Murong family was destroyed, what would Bai Yunxi do? She had nowhere else to go.

So he could only stand there like a fool, waiting for her to come and pronounce the verdict.

Who cares? If she doesn't want it, so what? At least he can lure her out and let him meet her!

He was very nervous, but finally she came. When he saw her from far away behind the crowd, he wanted to rush over and hug her immediately.

But no, he couldn't embarrass her in such a big scene.

He tried hard to control himself and finally made it to the place where there was only him and her. He rushed over and hugged her in his arms!
