Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

"Shanshan? I haven't contacted her recently. I wouldn't have come out if you hadn't called me in such an urgent situation."

Jin Lingling picked up the juice on the table, took a sip, and said with a hint of resentment, "My dear young lady, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

She shrugged, put down her juice, and waited for Nangong Qian's reply.

Nangong Qian looked troubled. "Then let's talk about it next time you and Shanshan come together."

This is a complicated thing to explain, and it's tiring to repeat it twice.

"Then I might not be available next time."

Jin Lingling drawled, her voice trailing off. This seemingly strong woman only showed signs of exhaustion when speaking to Nangong Qian, "You know my family's..."

The Jin family and the Nangong family rose to prominence around the same time. The only difference is that the Nangong family is simpler and has fewer complicated relationships.

The Jin family, however, has a large population, with many offspring from generation to generation. Especially in Jin Lingling's generation, there are more than a dozen offspring of the same generation in the family alone, not to mention those outside who are never allowed to enter the family.

This family believes in the law of the jungle, and their feudal and rigid mentality remains unchanged to this day. In contrast to the open and harmonious family style of the Nangong family, the Jin family does not take women seriously.

Jin Lingling's father, Jin Yongkang, was the third child in his family. Her mother's family was not large; they were just a family of intellectuals. Her maternal grandparents were both teachers and had little influence. In addition, Jin Yongkang was not good at business, so he had very little status in the family.

This led to the exclusion of the entire household.

The Jin family is a ruthless place where people are preyed upon without a trace. To survive, one must climb the social ladder, which is why Jin Lingling's life is so difficult.

He studied hard to earn a place in the family for his underage younger brother.

"Your family is a bunch of idiots too." The young lady spoke her mind without hesitation, blurting out the insult.

She even rolled her eyes.

"Hahahaha." Jin Lingling was amused by Nangong Qian again, and got a moment of relaxation.

Everyone says that Nangong Qian is arrogant, has a strange temper, and looks down on people, but once you get to know her, you'll find that she's the most innocent person.

"Sisi, be careful your brother will discipline you again."

She really enjoys spending time with the young lady; she only feels truly relaxed when she's with her.

"My brother isn't here." Nangong Qian hugged a cushion, crossed her legs, squatted on the sofa, scrolled through her phone, opened Lin Zishan's chat interface, and made a video call.

“I called Shanshan, but she didn’t answer my calls this morning.”

Nangong Qian muttered, her tone dissatisfied, "I hope she doesn't end up like Zhou Xinwei, becoming Chu Xia's shameless lackey."

Zhou Xinwei was Nangong Qian's best friend in the past, but in the end she became friends with Chu Xia.

Upon hearing this, Jin Lingling didn't say anything more. She slumped onto the sofa, her thoughts drifting. It seemed like her home shouldn't be like this.

"Sisi, I think I heard someone mention that she has a boyfriend."

Jin Lingling suddenly turned her head and said while listening to the phone call that had not been connected for a long time.

"Boyfriend!" Nangong Qian jumped up suddenly. "You brat, why didn't you tell us you had a boyfriend? Now you're not answering your phone either. You're probably out having fun with your boyfriend!"

Jin Lingling looked helpless; she knew this would happen.

"Don't get so worked up. Maybe it's not confirmed yet, and they don't want us to know."

Just now.

The doorbell outside the villa suddenly rang.

The maid, who was tidying up the garden, went over with a pair of shears.

Then I saw a little girl dressed in strange clothes...?

She didn't see her face directly. When Jingli turned her head, the maid was stunned for a moment. The girl was fair-skinned and clean-cut, with a casual and lazy air about her and a very distinctive temperament, but... her clothes were really strange.

Trends among young people?

She doesn't understand.

"Who are you looking for?" the maid asked, leaning close through the walnut wood door.

"Nangong Qian, please inform her, thank you." Jing Li replied politely, and coupled with the original owner's well-behaved appearance, the maid was very pleased.

In this affluent neighborhood, visitors hold their heads high and are unlikely to be polite to servants like them.

Even their own young lady has a bad temper.

"Looking for a prostitute? Please wait a moment, I'll go and deliver the message right away."

The maid jogged over, put down the scissors she was holding, wiped her hands, and then went inside.

......

"Miss, there's a young girl outside who says she's looking for you."

Nangong Qian was indignantly criticizing Lin Zishan when a maid ran over and interrupted her.

She looked at the maid with suspicion. "Who is it? Little girl?"

Her friends and classmates were all people who knew her family through the household staff.

Usually, when they arrive, no one will notify them; someone will simply lead them in.

Just like Jin Lingling, they went directly to her bedroom to find her.

"What does she look like?" Jin Lingling was also curious, as she knew all of Qianqian's friends.

The maid couldn't describe it, only saying, "She looks well-behaved, but her clothes and appearance are a bit strange."

She was too embarrassed to say that her clothes were ugly, but when those ugly clothes were paired with the little girl's face, they didn't seem so ugly anymore.

"Dressed strangely?"

Nangong Qian was still thinking. She was a great beauty, and her striking features made her seem very intimidating. Even the servants were a little afraid of her when she had no expression.

The maid hesitated.

Seeing the maid's hesitation, Jin Lingling said, "Alright, go out and take a look!"

Nangong Qian originally didn't want to go. People who came without prior notice were definitely not people she knew, so she was reluctant to go and wanted to have the servants deal with them.

After hearing her best friend suggest it, she thought it might be worth a visit.

No one was home today. Qiao Feng had been taken away by her older brother, her mother had a date with her friends, and her father was busy. Only she, who was just sitting at home doing nothing, was still there.

The two went out together, and Jin Lingling looked over first, "Qianqian, do you know this person?"

This style is hard to describe.

"It looks like... the one I just saw!"

Nangong Qian chuckled; it was true.

What a weirdo, how did they end up at their house?

With her back to them, Jing Li carefully observed the environment of the wealthy neighborhood.

Upon hearing the sound, they turned their heads to look.

Nangong Qian was startled when she saw his face clearly.

"!!!"

Boss?

"Ah!!! Boss!!!"

Nangong Qian ran over excitedly, almost losing her shoes in the process, "Open the door quickly!"

After hearing the employer's voice, the security guard pressed the key, and the gate slowly opened.

Jin Lingling looked puzzled; she couldn't understand what was going on.

I don't know this person.

The girl's expression was neither sad nor happy. Faced with Nangong Qian's excited appearance, she only gave a faint smile, but there was not much emotion in her eyes.

She even subtly shifted her body to the side as Nangong Qian ran over, causing Nangong Qian to miss her target.

Feeling wronged, she said, "Boss, why are you avoiding me?"
