Chapter 218

Perhaps because her gaze was too direct, An Jiuxi noticed the other person's gaze and casually looked away.

Her fingers nervously traced a fleeting line in Jin Yize's palm.

Jin Yize's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze secretly sweeping across the other side, subtly turning to block the other's view.

"Why did Fifth Sister suddenly come back?"

Jin Shumei looked at her younger brother, who was willing to talk to her, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes so quickly that the others didn't notice.

"Most of our overseas business has moved to China. Dad is right, we can't forget our roots. Chi Cang and I plan to start our business in China from now on."

"I...I'm not going back."

The woman's deliberately drawn-out tone caused the brows of the people present to furrow slightly.

An awkward atmosphere ensued.

Jin Fangyi glanced at the old man's expression and broke the silence first, "Have you chosen a company location?"

Jin Shumei smiled and casually leaned back on the sofa. "I bought that building right across from the Jin Family Group. That way, it will be convenient for me to visit Yize in the future."

"A family will eventually be together."

The woman's tone was light, but it made Jin Yize's eyes darken.

"Chi Cang didn't come with you?" Old Master Jin subtly changed the subject. "Are you having dinner here again tonight?"

Sensing the old man's disapproval, Jin Shumei naturally wouldn't shamelessly stay.

“I have an appointment with Chi Cang to discuss a collaboration, so I won’t be having dinner at home tonight. However, on my way here, I heard quite a bit of negative news about the group. Little brother, your abilities seem to have diminished.”

Jin Yize pursed his lips and coldly met the woman's mocking gaze. "There's no need for Fifth Sister to worry about the company's affairs."

Jin Shumei curled her lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "I am, after all, a member of the Jin family. In principle, I should also have a share in the group. Don't ruin Dad's expectations for you."

"If all else fails, why not consider having another sister help you manage the company? That way, you can also take a break for a while."

Even An Jiuxi could hear the hidden meaning in those words.

It's basically saying, if it doesn't work, we'll replace it.

Their ambition is certainly out in the open.

Jin Yize stared at Jin Shumei for a while before suddenly curling his lips into a smile, "Fifth Sister, you didn't come back so suddenly because you received some news, did you?"

Perhaps the question was too direct.

Jin Shumei was stunned for a moment, unable to recover her senses.

He then burst out laughing.

"How could that be? I just missed my family. Little brother, you're still just as unable to take a joke as you were when we were kids."

I was reminded of that joke from when I was a child.

Jin Yize's hands on the wheelchair handles tightened involuntarily, and his emotions began to waver.

Seeing this, An Jiuxi secretly clenched his hand and quietly channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into it.

However, they did not notice that when she used her spiritual energy...

A dark glint flashed in Jin Shumei's eyes.

"Alright, I have things to do, so I won't stay for dinner. Dad, please take care of yourself." Jin Shumei slowly stood up, exuding a charming yet not seductive aura.

Compared to the behavior of other members of the Jin family, she seemed quite open!

"Yes, bring Chi Cang back for a meal when you have time, so the whole family can get together."

Grandpa Jin watched the woman's departing figure and uttered a silent murmur.

Jin Shumei did not turn around, but waved her hand to indicate that she had heard, and then strode away from the Jin family's old house.

As soon as the person left.

The strange feeling gradually dissipated, and An Jiuxi subconsciously looked towards the door.

Jin Shumei has long since disappeared.
