After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 242

Jin Shumei ignored the changing expressions on the faces of the Jin family members, walked to the table, picked up the box, and examined it.

"What good things were stored in here before?"

Jin Shumei raised an eyebrow, her smile not reaching her eyes, and looked at the group. "Why didn't you wait for me to come and take a look?"

The coldness in the woman's words made Jin Fangyi frown.

"It's just a little trinket for the younger generation. Fifth Sister, you don't need anything. You can always go into the warehouse at home and get it. If you don't want us to wait for you, just go to the back and pick something to play with."

Jin Yu's words were not tactful; they implied that Jin Shumei was being unreasonable.

"Third sister, I was just asking a question, can't I be curious?" Jin Shumei snorted coldly, slammed the box down on the table, and turned to sit back on the sofa.

"Dad, why don't you do something about Third Sister? I've only just come back and she's already acting like this, as if I'm not a member of the Jin family."

Regarding this fifth daughter.

Grandpa Jin has always had a headache.

Whatever it may be, we can only try to gloss over it.

"Alright, you're all grown up, why are you still bickering like children?"

The group chuckled awkwardly and tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened.

An Jiuxi sat obediently beside Jin Yize, her gaze secretly drifting towards Chi Cang.

Chi Cangsheng's pretty face explains why Jin Shumei likes him.

But... she always gets a kind of effeminate feeling from her?

"Are you hungry?"

Jin Yize took her hand and asked in a low voice.

Feeling the warmth in her palm, An Jiuxi snapped out of her thoughts. "It's alright."

Seeing that she kept looking in Chi Cang's direction, Jin Yize deliberately lowered his voice and said, "That's Chi Cang, my fifth brother-in-law."

Perhaps the two of them were speaking a bit loudly.

This prompted Jin Shumei to turn her head.

Her gaze fell on their clasped hands, and she smiled knowingly, “Young people are so sweet, inseparable. Xixi, this is your fifth brother-in-law, Chi Cang.”

Upon hearing the sound, Chi Cang put down his teacup and nodded to An Jiuxi.

Then he took out the gift.

"I didn't have time to come back when we met before, so this is a small token of our appreciation from your fifth sister."

Looking at the box handed to her, An Jiuxi subconsciously glanced at Jin Yize.

In reality, he was hesitating whether or not to reach out and take it.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother-in-law."

Jin Yize reached out and took the item first, avoiding contact between the two.

When Chi Cang saw that it was him who reached out his hand, a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes, but he quickly regained his gentle demeanor. "It's a gold bracelet I bought abroad. Judging from the style, you young people should like it."

"It's not the one I've got my eye on, is it?" Jin Shumei playfully slapped Chi Cang, then took it upon herself to open the box and take out the gold bracelet.

"A solid one will serve as a guarantee for the future."

Jin Shumei's smile faded noticeably, and she didn't ask An Jiuxi anything.

He grabbed the other person's wrist and put the gold bracelet on!

The instant it touched my wrist.

A fleeting look of doubt crossed An Jiuxi's eyes.

Is that strange feeling gone?

It seems she was wrong.

"Fifth Sister, you're too impatient." Jin Yize looked at the little girl's wrist, which was red from being gripped, and said with dissatisfaction.

Jin Shumei covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably, as if she had seen something unbelievable. "Is this still my taciturn little brother? It seems that Miss An is really capable of making Yize open his heart."

The tone of his voice was extremely unpleasant to listen to.
