Fortunately, there was a wall behind her to support her.

The pair of high heels she was wearing were sent by Shunsong, and they didn't fit her feet well, leaving red marks on her ankles.

In addition, she had slept for the whole morning and hadn't eaten a single bite of food, so she felt dizzy and could hardly stand.

Seeing her like this, Ji Xuan snorted coldly: "Why are you pretending? You'd better behave yourself."

She leaned against the wall for a long time before she recovered.

In a blink of an eye, Ji Xuan had already helped Lu Xiaoxiao in, and she was the only one left at the door.

The Ji family moved from their old house. This was Lu Tang's first time here and he was not familiar with the layout.

She walked in slowly, holding on to the wall.

She wanted to go to the main hall, but somehow ended up in the back garden.

The pain in her ankle became more and more intense. She could not hold on any longer and sat down on a stone bench in the garden.

Lu Tang looked up at the garden.

There are not only flowers and plants here, but also many kinds of precious medicinal herbs. There are even water lilies in the lake that bloom once every thousand years.

It turns out that rich people are different.

"Miss Lu."

She was so engrossed in watching when an old man walked towards her.

"My last name is Zhang, you can just call me Aunt Zhang."

Aunt Zhang held a Band-Aid and a pair of red high heels in her hand: "Miss Lu, this is what President Ji asked me to prepare for you. Put it on quickly."

Mr. Ji? Lu Tang was a little confused. This person couldn't be Ji Xuan.

Aunt Zhang added, "Young Master Ji Shengzhou asked me to prepare this."

Ji Shengzhou?

Lu Tang had heard of his name.

The CEO of BH Group, just after becoming an adult, single-handedly brought BH to the top ten in the world and has been sitting at the top of the list of the world's richest people for five years. He is only 28 years old.

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Before this, Lu Tang didn't remember having any dealings with Ji Shengzhou.

To a big shot like Ji Shengzhou, she is just a nobody.

No matter how you look at it, Ji Shengzhou has nothing to do with her.

"Miss Lu, do you have any other questions?" asked Aunt Zhang.

Lu Tang took the shoes and Band-Aid with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Zhang, for taking me to thank Master Ji."

"Okay, Miss Lu."

Aunt Zhang lowered her head, turned and left.

Lu Tang tore off the Band-Aid and put it on her ankle which was already bleeding from being rubbed. She put her high heels aside and changed into the shoes that Ji Shengzhou had prepared for her.

The color of these shoes matches the clothes she wears today, and they are also much more comfortable.

She put on her shoes and stood up, and when she looked up she caught sight of a figure.

The sun was shining directly into her eyes, making it difficult for her to see clearly.

The black shadow was neat and tidy. He stood sideways in front of the window. Although his face could not be seen clearly, Lu Tang was sure that the man was Ji Shengzhou.

Lu Tang hadn't sat there for long when Ji Xuan called.

His tone was full of impatience: "Lu Tang, where have you been? Everyone is waiting for you in the lobby, come here quickly."

Lu Tang hung up the phone and stood up, Ji Shengzhou was still standing there.

The black figure pointed behind her.

Is Ji Shengzhou giving her directions?

Lu Tang's gaze lingered on his figure for a moment, and he went to the lobby in the direction he pointed.

She opened the lobby door and everyone except her was seated.

Lu Cheng's face looked very bad, especially when he looked at her.

On the contrary, the old man of the Ji family had a very kind expression: "Tangtang, what happened outside? Why did you come now?"

Before Lu Tang could speak, Lu Xiaoxiao stood up first: "Sister, I know you don't want to come to the old house, but you can't show it so obviously."

She looked very proud, as if she had been prepared to eat melons for a long time.

The first thing Lu Tang saw when he entered the room was her sitting next to Ji Xuan. He knew what she was up to without having to guess.

She glanced around the table and saw that there was no seat for her.

Lu Xiaoxiao suppressed the smile on her face and put on that pitiful look again: "Sister, then you can sit here with me. It doesn't matter whether I eat or not."

Suddenly, the air in the hall condensed and the temperature dropped to an extreme point.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked at the bowls in their hands.

Ji Xuan's face darkened. He grabbed Lu Xiaoxiao's wrist and said, "Xiaoxiao, sit down and eat. Since there's not enough space, let her take a bowl and eat at the side."

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and Grandpa Ji hit Ji Xuan on the back with his crutch.

"How do you talk to Tangtang?"

Old Master Ji turned to look at Lu Tang, and the sternness in his eyes turned into tenderness: "Little Tang girl, come here quickly and let grandpa see you."

Lu Tang was obviously a little surprised. She smiled gently and walked up to Grandpa Ji.

She tried her best to explain, fearing that the old man would get suspicious: "Grandpa, I'm afraid that too many people will affect your rest, so I said this, don't take it to heart."

Old Master Ji held her hands with both of his own and looked at Ji Xuan and Lu Xiaoxiao with sharp eyes: "Xiaotang grew up under my nose. Of course I know what Xiaotang means. As for outsiders, you can leave if you want. We in the Ji family don't care about you!"

Mr. Ji’s meaning was very clear. Lu Xiaoxiao kept her head down the whole time and didn’t dare to fart.

"Come here, move a chair next to me and a set of tableware." He instructed the servant, "Ask Xiaotang to watch over me while I eat."

Looking at the chairs that were moved in, Lu Tang's eyes became a little wet.

She and Ji Xuan played together when they were young.

She lost her mother when she was three years old. Whenever she was wronged at home, Grandpa Ji would take her home and take care of her.

It was like this when I was a child, and it is still like this now.

After dinner, Mr. Ji took her to the study alone.

Lu Tang pushed the wheelchair and closed the study door: "Grandpa, you called me alone, what's the matter?"

Mr. Ji stood up with his cane and walked to the desk.

He took a ring out of the drawer and handed it to her.

Lu Tang took a few steps back and waved his hands quickly: "Grandpa, I can't take this."

Not only Lu Tang, everyone in the capital city knew about this ring.

This ring represents the entire Ji family, and the purple gem on it is the meteor that fell in the year when the Ji family rose to prominence.

Mr. Ji was quite superstitious and made it into a ring.

Now this ring represents the power and status of the entire Ji family.

"Tang girl, I know you've suffered a lot since you married Ji Xuan. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, they won't be able to bully you!"

Lu Tang knew in his heart that Grandpa Ji already knew the ins and outs of the marriage.

Old Master Ji patted his chest, his eyes full of heartache.

"Good girl, you just returned home and don't have a place to celebrate yet, right? Here's the key. It's an apartment under the Ji family's name, so you can live there first."

Lu Tang walked out of the study, holding the key and ring that Grandpa Ji had forced into his hands.

The compound was empty, Ji Xuan and Lu Xiaoxiao had already left.

She sat in the car with red eyes.

She started the car and drove to the apartment that Grandpa Ji had given her.

"Hey, I'll text you the address, come over now."

Lu Tang dialed the number and said only one sentence.

"Okay." The seductive male voice had already made her sink into it for a moment.

Ten minutes later, the door was opened.

The lights in the room were off, and the only scent that could be smelled was the faint fragrance of the man.

In a moment, the two of them were stuck together.

"not in a good mood?"
