The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

After leaving the Military Intelligence Bureau, Sikong Jin went back to change into civilian clothes. On her way to the Hilton Hotel, Sikong Jin felt that Ji Jiucheng's last words were somewhat puzzling. However, after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up. After walking a few steps, she looked up and saw the Hilton Hotel on Chaoyang Street in front of her.

"Lord Sikong, you've arrived! Prince Tang and General Ji have been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me!"

As soon as Sikong Jin stepped inside, a beautiful waitress in a cheongsam greeted her with a smile. Sikong Jin was not surprised, nodded, and followed her to the door of a high-end, luxurious private room.

Sikong Jin raised her hand to signal the waitress to leave, then slowly pushed open the tightly closed door. A light aroma of wine wafted out, and a cool breeze brought a sense of tranquility and peace.

Sikong Jin raised her eyes and saw the two people drinking together by the window. Hearing the door open, they both turned around abruptly. One of them, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood up abruptly, his voice chilling—

"Sikong Jin, you bastard, you still haven't paid me this month's interest!"

Sikong Jin didn't need to look to recognize whose voice it was—Ji Wuge!

Ji Wuge, the eldest grandson of the Ji family and the only son of Ji Jiucheng, the Grand Master of the Central State Society, is the precious darling of the Ji family. He is tall and handsome, with an imposing presence. His hair is tied up with a silver crown, his eyebrows are as black as ink, his eyes are sharp and piercing, his nose is high and straight, his thin lips are slightly cold, and his bronze skin exudes an indescribable masculine charm. Every step he takes reveals an untamed wildness, arrogance, decisiveness, and a unique military temperament that is enough to make many young girls fall in love.

Sikong Jin stopped in her tracks, facing the icy chill rushing towards her, and forced a genuine smile. "Ah? Ji Ji, your way of welcoming me is really special! Look at Tang Tang, she's so calm—"

Sikong Jin smiled, her gaze falling on the refined-looking man next to Ji Wuge.

Tang Jingyao, the eldest grandson of the Tang Clan, is the deputy head of the Judicial Department of the Central State Association. He is handsome and refined, with fair skin, a face like jade, and eyes as bright as stars. His demeanor is elegant, and a faint smile plays on his handsome face. He wears a white, fitted robe with large, blooming orchids embroidered on the cuffs. His unique elegance is captivating. However, this is only his appearance. Only Sikong Jin and Ji Wuge understand the methods Tang Jingyao possesses beneath this exterior. Otherwise, even with his family backing him, he could not have so easily taken control of the Judicial Department of the Central State Association at such a young age.

"Brother Jin, you probably came here this time to deliver interest to me and Wuge, right?"

Tang Jingyao took a small sip of wine, squinting at Sikong Jin with a half-smile.

The fleeting gaze sent a chill down Sikong Jin's spine. Coupled with Ji Wuge's menacing stare beside her, Sikong Jin took a deep breath, then forced a seemingly innocent smile onto her delicate face. "I've barely stepped into the capital and you're already thinking of giving me a welcome feast. I'm truly touched. Brother Ji, Brother Tang, this meal is on me. Order whatever you like."

"You think you can get rid of us with just one meal? Send the interest to my residence within three days."

Ji Wuge gave a low hum and sat back down.

Sikong Jin sat down in an empty seat at the table, glanced at Tang Jingyao who remained expressionless, and complained, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you right away, but as you know, those pleasure-seeking guys like Meng Benbo said that the post station was dirty and unsafe, and since Deputy General Mei is a woman, they all insisted on staying at the Hilton Hotel. As their superior, I can only temporarily cover the cost for them, and it's all under the name of the Sikong Mansion. You all know I'm short on cash; I already invested money in Luoyang a while ago."

"How come I heard that all that money was paid by the Sikong Mansion?"

Tang Jingyao glanced at Sikong Jin suspiciously.

Sikong Jin's expression shifted between anger and rage. "Don't listen to their nonsense. That's all my money. I had just finished arranging everything when Sikong Shu kept sending people to call me back for a lecture. If I don't give him a little something, do you think he'll let me off so easily? What a joke! That damned old man!"

As he spoke, Sikong Jin poured himself a drink with righteous indignation, downed it in one gulp, and couldn't help but curse Sikong Shu a few times. His delicate face was almost distorted with anger, which showed how much resentment he felt towards Sikong Shu at that moment.

Ji Wuge stared at Sikong Jin for a long time, trying hard to find a flaw in his face. However, after observing for a long time, he could not see any sincerity in Sikong Jin's anger. He exchanged a glance with Tang Jingyao, who had also been observing Sikong Jin for a long time. Only after Tang Jingyao nodded did he speak.

"We'll give you a few days' grace, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Sikong Jin shrugged and poured wine for the two of them. "Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits! Tangtang, where's Zixi? Is she alright? Why didn't you bring her with you? I brought her a box of rouge from Luoyang. It smells so good. Do you like it? Does it smell good?"

As she spoke, she took out a box of rouge from her sleeve and handed it to Tang Jingyao, instantly filling the air with a fragrant aroma.

"How dare you greet her in front of her husband, and act so servile! Sikong Jin, you are truly a rare and beautiful flower in full bloom!"

Ji Wuge glanced at Tang Jingyao, whose face was somewhat gloomy, and sneered.

Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow dismissively. "What do you know? I'm Zixi's confidant. She was the one who fell for me first. If it weren't for her engagement to Tangtang, she would have married me long ago. Also, if I hadn't gone to great lengths, working day and night, to write that 99,999-word love letter for Tangtang to Zixi, which moved her, she would never have accepted Tangtang's proposal. Oh, right, Tangtang, you still haven't paid me back for those 999 roses... Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"A love letter? Sikong Jin, how dare you even mention that? Tang Jingyao and I studied that love letter in detail later. One-third of its content can be found in 'Stories of the Starry Night,' and the remaining two-thirds come from 'The Complete Collection of Xi Murong's Love Poems,' 'Classic Confession Quotes of the Starry Night,' and 'Blooming Youth.' Except for the words 'To my dearest Lan Zixi' and 'Your most beloved Jing-gege,' which are original, everything else is copied verbatim. And those roses—the day after Tang Jingyao confessed, all the blooming roses in the backyard of the Jinghou Mansion were looted, not a single one was missing. Jing Su even went to the yamen to report it, but someone covered it up. Can you believe how shameless that is…"

"What? Such a thing actually happened? They even stole roses, such a sacred symbol of love! How utterly shameless! That thief hasn't been found yet, has he? When I return to Maran City, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. It's outrageous..."
