Chapter 232: The Heir of the Big Boss! The Daughters of the Ji Family (3)
Translator: _Min
The other daughter was treated like a treasured jewel, kept hidden away in seclusion, her face seldom seen. She appeared so fragile, as if a mere touch might shatter her. Few had ever laid eyes on her.
No one had heard of another daughter in the Ji family.
The old man continued to sit on his stool, basking in the sunlight.
Meanwhile, the host following the film crew received a phone call, “Hello? You want us to find a way to film inside the Heaven Earth Alliance building? Are you insane? That place isn’t just something you can waltz into!”
Could their modest promotional film really gain entry to the Heaven Earth Alliance?
For many years, only the Great Xia TV had been granted permission by the Heaven Earth Alliance to shoot a cultural documentary.
Other film and TV productions shouldn’t even dream of it; they’d only hit a wall.
Especially since the old guards of the Heaven Earth Alliance, who cherished cultural heritage, were so reluctant to appear in public.
It was a formidable challenge.
“We really can’t do anything about this,” the host sighed deeply. “Unless you can contact someone inside the Heaven Earth Alliance. Besides, the promotional film is already perfect, thanks to Teacher Si’s help, we’ve captured many valuable shots.”
“Alright, if it’s possible, we’ll certainly try.”
After hanging up, the host looked troubled.
Si Fuqing keenly noticed his distress. “What’s wrong?”
He relayed the instructions he had just received.
Jiang Changning also heard them, “There’s actually not much to see inside the building.”
“Who knows,” the host sighed. “The Heaven Earth Alliance represents the pinnacle of Great Xia culture. It’s not easy to get access, but since the higher-ups have said so, we have no choice but to try our luck tomorrow.”
Jiang Changning didn’t say much more and joined Si Fuqing in learning paper cutting.
The day’s filming ended smoothly. In the evening, Si Fuqing and Yu Xiheng attended a banquet.
Xi Jiang, feeling abandoned, clung to the villa’s door, despairing, “I’ve fallen out of favor. Usually, for such banquets, the master would take me.”
Feng San glanced at him, snorting coldly. “Did you think you were ever favored?”
“You don’t understand a thing!” Xi Jiang despaired even more. “I’m penniless now, I can’t even afford to eat!”
Feng San felt a sense of satisfaction.
Who was to blame?
“Shen Ying! Shen Ying, you’re my brother!” Xi Jiang clutched his phone, dialing a number. “Quick, I need to register as a food delivery guy. I’ll join you in delivering orders.”
‘What? You think I’m stealing your business? Fine, then I’ll deliver packages. Is that okay?”
Feng San:
If the elders knew what they were doing, they would be infuriated.
However, today’s banquet was quite ordinary. With Miss Si there, others should be the ones worrying.
The banquet was held at a hotel in the city center.
The only unusual aspect was that all the guests wore masks.
Yu Xiheng got out of the car first, still in his wheelchair.
He then went to receive her.
Si Fuqing was about to jump down directly, but felt a sudden chill on her back.
His hand clasped her waist.
Si Fuqing tensed up, her hand instinctively rising to strike, but she stopped herself at the crucial moment.
Yu Xiheng sensed her tension and gently patted her back before letting go,
“Relax.”
She was still a young lady, after all.
Unaccustomed to such situations.
“I am relaxed,” Si Fuqing coughed. “It’s just a bit unusual to switch roles, I’m not used to it.”
Yu Xiheng looked back at her, “Role switch?”
Si Fuqing said, “Never mind me, just too much cosplay.”
She and her third senior sister occasionally attended banquets to ambush drug lords on missions.
Typically, it was her who disguised herself as a man, embracing her third senior sister by the waist.
“Mhmm,” Yu Xiheng didn’t pursue the topic further. He nodded gently, “Let’s go in.”
Upon entering, Si Fuqing immediately sensed that this was no ordinary gathering.
Even a server carrying a tray moved with a martial artist’s poise and breathing.
“Boss,” Si Fuqing blinked, “Are there people here looking to snap your neck?”
Yu Xiheng tapped his fan lightly, smiling, “We’ll see if they dare.”
“Don’t worry, boss. I will definitely protect you,” Si Fuqing assured earnestly. “I mean it this time.”
Yu Xiheng smiled softly, “I know.”
Throughout the three-hour banquet, Si Fuqing remained on high alert, ready to take down anyone if necessary.
However, the event concluded smoothly, without even a minor dispute.
Si Fuqing began to question her life choices.
Afterwards, Yu Xiheng indeed took her to a bank to withdraw a box of gold bars.
Leaning against his wheelchair, he said, “For the consultation.”
Si Fuqing pondered.
Is her boss actually giving her money?
Could there be such a generous capitalist in this world?
She decided to be even nicer to her boss from now on.
After dropping Yu Xiheng off at the villa and picking up Little Bai from Shang Lu, Si Fuqing stuffed the creature into her bag, “Today, you eat five pieces. I refuse to believe I can’t nourish your strength back.”
“Ow ow ow,” Little Bai buried its head, devouring the gold bars, moved to tears.
Even its dog owner had a generous day. I’m crying in gratitude.
With the bag slung over her shoulder, Si Fuqing recalled telling Yu Xiheng she didn’t play games. So, she found a nearby internet café near ancient artifacts street.
Due to its location, the internet café wasn’t crowded.
But most there were playing Oracle.
Si Fuqing logged into the game, bought a coke, and settled into a gaming chair to enjoy.
Voices at the entrance caught her attention.
“Let’s see if we can spot NINE the Godtoday. Which dungeon shall we tackle later?”
“Let’s head to the PvP arena instead. Who knows how tough the dungeon bosses will be tomorrow?”
“I’ll pass on PvP. My crops are ripe, I need to farm.”
“Ye Zhi, you really are an odd one. But if we do spot NINE the God today, our captain will be too excited to sleep.” Hearing a familiar voice, Si Fuqing looked up.
Their gazes met.
The members of D6 were also stunned.
One of them stuttered, “Teacher… Teacher Si, you’re here at this hour?” Chi Yu frowned, casting a cold glance before being taken aback.
Under the light, the girl’s features became more pronounced, her beauty striking, exuding an aggressive charm.
Chi Yu pursed his lips, now believing the online hype about Si Fuqing being the divine beauty in the entertainment industry.
Such looks were indeed hard to slander.
Too bad her gaming skills were poor. A waste of time, really.
“Wow, Sister Qingqing!” Ye Zhi’s eyes lit up as he approached, spotting the familiar game loading bar on her screen.. His excitement grew, “You’re playing
Oracle too? What class do you play? Let’s add each other as friends!
