C28 His Family

Qi Ruixin, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Ji Wanzhi and I were boyfriend and girlfriend when we were in university. I believe I know her better than all of you, and I know all of her secrets." Lee Chennan smiled confidently.

Ji Wanzhi did not have any shortcomings other than the identity of the Ji family. She was a top student in a famous financial university, and her resume was brilliant.

But...

If there was no black material, could he not spread rumors?

Wanzhi, just you wait. The treasures behind you and the Ji family can only be mine.

...

Ten days was neither long nor short.

Qi Ruixin seemed to have been provoked. Ever since that time, she had not come to look for trouble again.

On the other hand, Seventh Old Master had sent Qi Yunran to invite Ji Wanzhi to the seven old residences on the eve of Ji Wanzhi and Lih Lengjue's engagement banquet.

Even Lih Lengjue did not inform her and only let Ji Wanzhi come alone.

He said that there was news about her father.

At this time, Ji Wanzhi stood at the entrance of the seven old residences and looked at the courtyard that was illuminated by the afternoon sun. She could not help but sigh.

If the Ji family had not disappeared, she was afraid that it would be the same at this moment.

It was full of vitality, dignified and elegant.

"Little girl, you're here. Come in quickly." Seventh Old Master personally came to the door to welcome her. His kind face revealed a few traces of a smile.

"Seventh Elder, why did you come out personally? I can come in myself." Ji Wanzhi hurriedly went forward to support him and spoke respectfully.

"Girl, you don't have to be so reserved." Seventh Old Master looked at Ji Wanzhi with a gentle gaze as if he was looking at his granddaughter. "I thought I also watched your father grow up in the past. I haven't seen him for so many years. I didn't expect his daughter to be so old."

Seventh Old Master sat on the soft sofa with Ji Wanzhi's help. He took a sip of tea and waved his hand to signal everyone in the living room to leave.

Ji Wanzhi only asked tentatively when there were only the two of them left in the huge living room, "You... know my father?"

"Why don't you know him?" Seventh Old Master smiled. "You are afraid that I will lie to you? Ji Qingtian is not easy to deal with. I did not expect him to leave before my old bones go."

Speaking up to this point, Seventh Old Master couldn't help feeling a little regretful. "He is also a capable person."

When Ji Wanzhi heard Seventh Old Master say her father's name, she felt her nose turn sour.

If there was a time when a person was still alive, it was when others still remembered him.

She did not expect that after her father left for so long, there was still someone who remembered him...

"Then Seventh Grandpa, did you find me here for something?" Ji Wanzhi calmed her emotions and asked.

Thinking that she did not need to disguise her identity in front of Seventh Old Master, Ji Wanzhi felt a lot more relaxed.

Hearing this name, Seventh Old Master narrowed his eyes and smiled. "You are a smart girl."

"I called you here this time because I heard that you and Little Li are getting engaged soon. I have something for you." Seventh Old Master clapped his hands. Seven Comet Flame came down from upstairs, holding a red sandalwood box in his hands.

When Ji Wanzhi got closer, she saw that there was a pair of dragon and phoenix carved into the box. The exquisite carving made the dragon and phoenix look lifelike, as if they would come back to life in the next second.

Seventh Old Master opened the wooden box and took out a jade bracelet from the box. It was a jade bracelet made from the same material as the Black Jade Ring.

The surface of the bracelet was as black as ink, and it had a deep color, as if it wanted to suck a person's soul into it.

"Take this bracelet, girl." Seventh Old Master stuffed the bracelet into Ji Wanzhi's hand. "This bracelet is called Guiling. I'll give it to you now. If you encounter any trouble in the future, take it. Take this bracelet out. I don't dare to cause you any trouble."

These words were clearly telling Ji Wanzhi that the seven families would be Ji Wanzhi's maternal family from now on. If Lih Lengjue dared to bully her, she would also have a backer.

Ji Wanzhi was stunned for a second and hurriedly pushed the jade bracelet back. "No no... Seventh Old Master, this is too expensive. I can't take it!"

She was not stupid. To be able to use such a valuable box to store the jade bracelet, it definitely was not an ordinary item.

" Take it. " Seventh Old Master frowned. "Your father once saved the old man's life. Previously, the old man was unable to help. Now, his only child is still alive. Can't the old man give him some protection?"

When the Ji family was in trouble, Seventh Old Master was still recuperating overseas. When he returned, the Ji family was gone.

" But... "

Ji Wanzhi still wanted to say something but was forcefully interrupted by Seventh Old Master, "From now on, you will be my godgranddaughter. The seven families will be your maternal family. Don't be afraid in the future, your maternal family will protect you."

"... " Alright, Grandfather. " Ji Wanzhi sniffled and her eyes could not help but turn red. She obediently accepted the bracelet.

"Okay, the old man is also tired." Seventh Old Master fondled her head lovingly. "Ran Ran, you can send the girl back."

"Little Branch, let's go."

Since they were already part of the seven families, it would be too different to call Miss Ji that.

"Then I will go back." Ji Wanzhi bowed deeply to Seventh Old Master, hid the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and followed Qi Yunran out of the old house.

"I am older than you according to my age. You should call me big brother." Seven Comet Ran spoke as he drove.

"Big Brother Flame." Ji Wanzhi called out obediently.

A smile appeared on the man's usually expressionless face. "En, if Lih Lengjue bullies you in the future, come and find me. I will stand up for you."

"Okay."

Qi Yunran sent Ji Wanzhi to the first villa of Charming Empire. As a member of the seven families, he naturally had the right to enter and exit this place.

"Brother Ran, can you go in and have a cup of tea before leaving?" Ji Wanzhi got off the car and invited him.

"I'm not going. There are still things that I need to take care of when I go back. I will go back first. Remember what brother said to you." Qi Yunran shook his head and refused. His long and clear hand rested on the steering wheel. It was unexpectedly beautiful.

"Alright then. Big brother Ran, be careful on your way back. Be careful, I'll be leaving first." Since he did not come, Ji Wanzhi did not force him. She smiled sweetly at Seven Comet Ran. Her heart felt warm. Did she have a family again?

After relying on Aunt Shen for survival, she had a family again?

Until Ji Wanzhi returned to the villa, she still did not come back to her senses. The cold feeling on her wrist seemed to tell her that it was not a dream.

Lih Lengjue sat on the sofa early in the morning. When he saw her coming back from outside, he put down his notebook. "You're back?"

"When did you come back?" Ji Wanzhi was puzzled.

Lih Lengjue said he had something to do today, so he asked her to come back first. Why was he sitting here again?

"Just now." The man answered concisely and waved at her. "Come here."
