Chapter 179 True and Fake Gold 7
Ji Yue lowered her voice and told her uncle about her carefully planned plan. After listening, her uncle was silent for a while, and then he spoke for a long time: "This matter can be big or small. It's just that I'm a little short of money right now. Look at this..."
"As long as you can get things done, you don't have to worry about money." Ji Yue responded without hesitation.
A flattering laugh suddenly rang out from the other end of the phone: "Of course, you are now the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Even a sesame seed that slips through your fingers is enough to support us for a lifetime. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
After hanging up, Ji Yue slammed her phone down in a rage, "What a bunch of greedy parasites!" Three years ago, she'd accidentally learned the secret of her origins. Back then, her supposed biological parents had suddenly appeared and demanded money from her. Initially, she was skeptical and refused to believe it, but the results of the paternity test were like a hammer, shattering all her fantasies and cruelly revealing that she wasn't of the Ji family.
To preserve the wealth and status the Ji family had bestowed upon her, she offered them a sum of money to send them off. However, she had never expected that they would haunt her, frequently asking for money. Now that they had been apprehended, Ji Yue felt they deserved their punishment, but secretly she hoped they would vanish from her world once and for all.
In the following days, Ji Yue began the difficult time of taking care of Lingjiu.
Lingjiu lazily leaned against the headboard, a sly look in his eyes as he bossed Ji Yue around, "I want to eat an apple, but I don't want the peeled kind. I want an apple in the shape of a bunny. Go prepare it."
Ji Yue was stunned when she heard this. How could she possibly carve a bunny-shaped apple? But Lingjiu's undeniable, unwavering attitude made it clear to her that there was no room for negotiation. So, she turned indignantly and headed to the kitchen to learn.
In the kitchen, Ji Yue engaged in a difficult "battle" with the apple. She tried again and again, but the apple in her hand seemed to be deliberately against her, either breaking the skin or forming an odd shape. After a long struggle, she finally managed to peel an apple that resembled a bunny.
She handed the hard-earned rabbit apple to Lingjiu, but Lingjiu just glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "I suddenly don't want to eat apples anymore. Peel a pomelo for me."
Ji Yue's heart sank. How could she not know that Lingjiu was deliberately making things difficult for her? Lingjiu was never this picky in her life. Although she felt a surge of anger in her heart, wishing Lingjiu would disappear from her sight immediately, she did not show it at all. She could only pretend to be pitiful and said softly, "Sister, my newly done nails are really not suitable for peeling grapefruit. How about I peel a banana for you?"
Lingjiu smiled and said, "But I want to eat pomelo right now. And didn't you promise dad that you would take good care of me? Why can't you even fulfill this little request?"
Ji Yue struggled in her heart, she was afraid that Lingjiu would complain to her father.
Seeing her hesitation, Lingjiu sighed in disappointment and said, "Forget it, go ahead. I'll tell Dad later."
When Ji Yue heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, sister, don't look for dad. If you want to eat pomelo, I'll peel it for you right now."
Lingjiu's eyes flashed with pride: "Since you want to peel it, then hurry up, maybe I will want to eat something else later."
Ji Yue reluctantly walked to the living room, picked up the pomelo, and began to peel it. Carefully, she scraped at the rind with her fingernails, splashing juice onto her hands and gradually leaving her carefully maintained nails in a mess. Each time she peeled a piece of the pomelo, it felt like she was giving up a piece of her pride. By the time she finally peeled the pomelo and broke it into pieces, her nails were a horrible sight, her fingertips stained yellow by the peel.
Lingjiu looked at Ji Yue's hands covered in juice, her brows furrowed slightly, a trace of disgust on her face. "Forget it, this is disgusting. You go out, I need to rest." Ji Yue's anger instantly erupted like a volcano, but she had nowhere to vent it. She could only grit her teeth and swallow the anger and resentment in her heart. She slowly walked out of the room, holding the pile of half-peeled grapefruits.
Ji Yue returned to her room, unable to contain her pent-up anger any longer. She flung herself onto the bed, grabbed a pillow, and lashed it out wildly. Every time the pillow slammed, she roared inwardly, "If it weren't for the desire to stay here, how could she have been so miserable and humbled, enduring such hardship and humiliation?"
Her hands trembled slightly from the excessive force, her nails digging deep into her palms, the sharp sting doing nothing to alleviate the resentment in her heart. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a bitter oath: "Ji Jiu, I will make you pay for what you have done."
When Lingjiu saw Ji Yue's angry but unaware expression, full of grievance, he felt extremely happy.
After all, she will now repay Ji Yue for all the ways she treated Meng Qian in the past, and what Ji Yue did to Meng Qian in the past was even worse in comparison.
In the previous life, the biological daughter of the Ji family was abandoned in an orphanage and died of illness soon after. She was only five months old at that time.
As for Meng Qian, the heroine, she and Ji Xun fall in love after marriage, which should have been the beginning of a beautiful love story. However, Ji Yue, jealous of Ji Xun, cannot tolerate any preference for Meng Qian. So, she frequently uses insidious and cunning tricks to create rifts between them, eventually causing them to drift apart.
Ever since Ji Xun and Meng Qian got married, Ji Yue has been relying on her status as sister-in-law to make things difficult for Meng Qian.
Meng Qian accidentally learned the truth that Ji Yue was not Ji's biological daughter. She got the hair of Ji's father and Ji Yue, and did a DNA test. She planned to tell Ji Xun this secret when she got the report, but she never expected that a carefully planned man-made car accident turned Meng Qian into a comatose vegetable.
Ji Yue had done many evil things in her previous life. Now, Lingjiu has become the daughter of the Ji family. She wants to repay Ji Yue for all the evil she had done to her.
During the time Lingjiu was bedridden, Duan Yizhou often came to visit. He has now taken over the family business.
Now, the outside world is whispering, and even speculating with a gloating attitude, whether Duan Yizhou's "bad luck" can destroy the Duan family's century-old business empire.
However, to everyone's dismay, the expected news of the Duan family's bankruptcy did not materialize. Instead, Duan Yizhou maneuvered with ease in the business world, successfully securing several major projects. For a moment, everyone secretly speculated: Could it be that Duan Yizhou, long known as the "bad luck star," had truly experienced a turn of events, escaping his past misfortunes?
Duan Yizhou has now become a shining and coveted golden cake in the eyes of everyone.
With his handsome appearance and growing power and status, he has now become the most ideal marriage partner in their hearts.
