In the car, An Xiaoyue's phone, which was in her coat bag, suddenly vibrated.

She took it out and saw it was a message from Fu Shengyang.

Xiaoyue: "Happy, we're going to go see Lingxi's unfinished apartment."

Fu Shengyang: "I'll recommend the designer to you."

Xiaoyue: "Okay, I'll pass it on to Lingxi."

"Who are you messaging? You're smiling so happily." Zhong Lingxi leaned on her shoulder and looked closer.

"Tsk tsk~"

Those words rushed into Lingxi's mind, forcing it to interpret them, and she was caught off guard and suddenly had to eat a huge mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing a romantic relationship).

"I really can't believe that a stoic CEO would actually ask someone if they're having fun."

Lingxi quickly denied it, "Oh, no, you're his wife, not an ordinary person."

An Xiaoyue shook her head helplessly, expressing her concern about her reading comprehension.

Teacher Zhou, sitting in the back row, watched the two children being so affectionate, and shook her head as she pulled An Jiaren next to her.

"Xiaoyue is so good at studying, how come she can't handle dating?"

An Jiaren covered her mouth and whispered, "This is the window that God closed."

"Hahaha~" Teacher Zhou couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

Zhong Lingxi and An Xiaoyue turned around and looked at her.

Teacher Zhou immediately stopped, waving her hands repeatedly in denial, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

This is clearly a case of trying to hide something obvious.

The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the Aegean Bay residential complex. Zhong Lingxi swiped her card and led everyone inside.

She happily introduced An Xiaoyue and An Jiaren.

"There are only a few new apartments in the community. When we went to the real estate agent, my parents and I looked at many, and this one was the only one with a reasonable price and a great location, close to shopping malls and parks."

"In this unit, the address is easy to remember: Unit 2, Building 1, No. 3."

"You bought it with cash?" An Jiaren watched as she swiped her card quickly. If it were a loan, the loan application process wouldn't even be finished yet, so how could she get the access card so quickly?

Teacher Zhou continued, her hand still linked with An Jiaren's arm.

“I bought a 140-square-meter apartment. Lingxi is our only child in three generations, so all our family’s money has been invested here. I even took out the retirement savings of our four grandparents. I figured the renovation would cost money too, so I just paid in full to avoid putting pressure on my child.”

“Yes. The pressure is immense right now. If you take on a mortgage, you'll be trapped.” An Jiaren isn't someone detached from worldly concerns.

On the contrary, she raised both babies herself, so she knew all too well what society was really like.

However, she never told Xiaoyue, and suffered in silence by herself.

This is the love parents have for their children: always trying to make their lives easier for them in any way they can.

As the group talked, none of them noticed the man approaching from the opposite direction.

Until Zhong Lingxi exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

An Xiaoyue was carefully observing her surroundings and didn't notice the person walking towards her.

Only after Zhong Lingxi said this did she look ahead.

Ji Yubai walked towards them, accompanied by three or five people.

The two groups met on the street in the residential area, and Zhong Lingxi hid behind An Xiaoyue.

An Xiaoyue was confused. "Why are you hiding?"

"You're a persistent ghost." Zhong Lingxi's indignant voice rang in my ears.

"Did he piss you off?"

An Xiaoyue had barely finished speaking and hadn't received a reply from Zhong Lingxi when Ji Yubai walked up to her.

"Hey girl, what a coincidence, I can't believe I've run into you here."

"Good soil."

Despite her complaints, Zhong Lingxi still obediently stepped forward after Teacher Zhou's friendly greeting, "Who is this?"

"Dad, Mom, this is my current client, Mr. Ji Yubai, the CEO."

"Uncle, Aunt, hello." Ji Yubai bowed respectfully and greeted them, his frivolous attitude replaced by a sincere one.

"Hello, Mr. Ji." Teacher Zhou was taken aback by this overly enthusiastic manner.

They're calling her "little girl," which is clearly suspicious. I'll interrogate Zhong Lingxi more severely later.

It's one thing to not tell your dad about your relationship, but why don't you tell your mom either?

"Ah, well, Mr. Ji has something to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer." Zhong Ling wanted to run away; she didn't want to be followed by this man 24 hours a day.

"Did the young lady also buy a house here?" Ji Yubai asked knowingly.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he needs to make a good impression on his future in-laws.

"No, no, I haven't decided whether I want to buy it yet," Zhong Lingxi denied decisively.

Ji Yubai smiled slightly and asked the real estate consultant behind him, "Are there any other units available around the house this young lady bought?"

A group of people watched Zhong Lingxi and Ji Yubai with varying expressions, their back-and-forth exchange filled with tension.

Zhong Lingxi shook his head frantically, hoping the real estate consultant wouldn't betray him.

However, with the year-end approaching, making money and eating are clearly more important.

"Ms. Zhong's apartment, both upstairs and downstairs, has been sold. The apartment opposite her, number four, has not yet been sold due to the number and floor."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yubai smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll buy that one. Let's sign the contract now."

Zhong Lingxi was disheartened and laughed, scolding, "It's too kind of you to say you're like a persistent ghost; you're practically a leech."

"Thanks for the praise, little girl. My reconnaissance skills are pretty good, right?"

Even when it's clearly an insult, he can hear it as a compliment.

"Uncle, Aunt, I'm not a bad person. I just like your daughter, but she just happens not to like me."

Ji Yubai's words were too direct, and Teacher Zhou was so frightened that she grabbed Teacher Zhong's hand tightly.

This guy is clearly a social thug; he said he liked someone's daughter the first time they met.

They even started calling him "uncle" and "aunt," making it seem like everyone knew each other very well.

Teacher Zhou and Teacher Zhong, who have dedicated half their lives to teaching, have never encountered such a difficult person. As the pillar of the family, Teacher Zhong stepped forward to speak up.

“Mr. Ji, liking someone is one thing on your part, but causing trouble for the other person is wrong.”

"Then..." Ji Yubai listened attentively to the instruction, then turned his questioning gaze to Zhong Lingxi, "Should I leave?"

"roll......"

"Hmm!" Teacher Zhong cleared her throat, reminding her daughter to watch her words and actions.

Zhong Lingxi immediately straightened her back, bowed slightly, and gestured for him to leave, saying, "President Ji, please take care."

"Goodbye." Ji Yubai waved and left.

Zhong Lingxi straightened up, visibly relieved.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yubai, who had only taken a few steps, turned back and stood in front of An Xiaoyue.

"Sister-in-law, my happy life depends on you." He blinked his charming eyes, plotting in front of Zhong Lingxi.

How can a man be so alluring?

An Xiaoyue was at a loss and said woodenly, "I will only help Lingxi."

"Hmph." Zhong Lingxi snorted heavily through her nose, then put her arm around Xiaoyue's shoulder to assert her ownership. "Xiaoyue is mine, don't even think about it."

Ji Yubai raised an eyebrow slightly, "Understood, I will definitely go to Fu Garden to offer my New Year's greetings in person."

Zhong Ling glared at Ji Yubai with a mixture of joy and resentment, as if she wanted to stare a hole through his back.

"Who are these people?" Teacher Zhou asked the two of them.

“It’s just work-related contact, nothing will happen, don’t worry,” Zhong Lingxi explained.

Teacher Zhou clearly didn't believe it, and her gaze fell on An Xiaoyue. "Really? Xiaoyue."

“I don’t know him well, but he knows Sheng Yang,” An Xiaoyue said truthfully, thus omitting much of what worried her.

Ji Yubai's impression on her was that he was difficult to control, always talking nonsense, and she couldn't tell which of his words were true and which were lies.

The Ji family is in the complex entertainment industry, and judging from various reports, the pool of the entertainment industry is not necessarily very clear.

Given Ji Yubai's personality, no one knows what outrageous thing he might do next.

But she couldn't say these things to Teacher Zhou or Teacher Zhong, lest they worry about her, who were far away in Jincheng.

"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Zhong, don't worry, Lingxi and I will take care of each other."

"Yes, although the building has two units per floor, the elevator door won't open on my side without my room card. If he goes too far, I'll call the police. I'm a law student, do you think I'll let him bully me?"

Zhong Lingxi clung to Teacher Zhou's arm and said coquettishly, "Besides, even after the renovation is finished, it will take a year to set up. By then, people's novelty will probably have worn off."

The sisters, An Xiaoyue and Zhong Lingxi, worked together seamlessly.

“Yes, yes.” Teacher Zhou was persuaded, and took the arm of a girl with one arm. “Come on, let’s look at our house.”
