C15 Ji Family Descendants Gathered Hall

Outside the window, as always, was a jade-like blue sky with silky clouds floating above it. It was indifferent, but it also made people feel a deep sense of sadness.

Silence reigned in the car. Su Mulin stared stiffly at the scenery outside her window, deep in her thoughts.

The car crossed the noisy city, crossed the quiet suburbs, and finally steadied itself for a while. It crossed a bridge over the lake and finally came to a stop in front of a large iron gate with branches wrapped around it.

Su Mulin got out of the car. She had always thought that the old house was one of those shabby and cracked houses. Unexpectedly, it was a small French building.

The twining metal door opened and she entered with Ji Muchen.

He saw that the entrance was a winding veranda, and beneath his feet was a path that was filled with pebbles. They walked along the veranda and arrived at an extremely low-key and luxurious courtyard. There were huge fountains, majestic sculptures, and expensive flowers and plants.

Su Mulin walked and watched, as if she were in a dreamy castle.

This majestic and domineering aura really wasn't just for show.

Before they even entered the main hall, they heard waves of hearty laughter. Su Mulin secretly held the corner of her skirt tightly, feeling an indescribable nervousness in her heart.

"Brother Muchen, you came." As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a girl around the age of sixteen ran up to Ji Muchen. She wore a pink dress with delicate features. She had a high ponytail on her head, making her look cute and playful.

"This is?" Sister-in-law? " The girl turned her head and looked at Su Mulin. Her eyes were clear and bright, filled with curiosity.

"Miss Luoluo, this is San Young Madam." Assistant Xiao hurriedly introduced.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Ji Luoluo called out sweetly.

Ji Luoluo, Old Master Ji's youngest granddaughter.

He was currently studying at the Maria School for Women in City R and would graduate next year.

His results were exceptional and deeply favored by the old tutor.

"Hello." Su Mulin nodded at her.

"Come in and take a seat." The voice of an old man came from inside.

Ji Muchen strode in and greeted the old man in the middle seat with a smile, "Grandpa."

With a kind and gentle smile on his face, the elder waved at Su Mulin at the same time. "Little girl, come over here as well."

Su Mulin walked obediently to Old Master Ji's side.

Old Master Ji looked at her kindly, which made Su Mulin feel even more familiar with him.

Unlike the bashfulness at the wedding, Su Mulin respectfully greeted, "Grandpa."

Old Master Ji smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

"Muchen's wife is so beautiful. Grandpa, don't worry." A dignified and handsome man walked in. "Do you want to share some snacks in the future? You have to be more concerned about us."

"Eldest Young Master." Assistant Xiao greeted respectfully.

Eldest Young Master? Su Mulin could tell from the way he was addressed that he was Ji Muchen's big brother, Ji Leetine. He was dressed in slightly tight black clothing, revealing his perfect figure. His body emitted a dignified and sharp aura.

"Leetine is here." Old Master Ji was happy again.

Ji Leetine was sitting beside the old man, but his eyes were fixed on Su Mulin. His gaze was deep, and there was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes.

Su Mulin raised her head slightly and caught a glimpse of that gaze. Immediately, she felt uncomfortable all over.

She quickly tilted her head and took a sip of tea from the cup in front of her.

"I say, big bro, why didn't you bring Sister Yunxi along? I haven't seen her for quite some time." A girl with fruit in her hand walked out of the side hall. She was wearing a light yellow dress and had a standard oval face with intelligent eyes. There was a certain charm to her.

"She has an important client to attend to today. She should be here when it's time to eat." Ji Leetine casually picked up the grapes on the plate, put them into his mouth and answered with a smile.

"Sis Jinyao, why didn't you wear the dress Sis Sister Yunxi bought for you last time?"

Upstairs, a girl in a pink and blue dress came down. Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her face was slightly flushed. He hastily walked in front of Ji Jinyao and sized up the dress she was wearing as he asked.

"What is it? I can wear it if I want to, I can't wear it if I don't want to. "How is it?" Ji Jinyao mischievously replied. She even picked up the peach from the plate and stuffed it into her mouth.

"This is Jinyao," Old Master Ji pointed at the girl in a yellow dress and introduced her to Su Mulin. Then Old Master Ji called out to them both, "This is your Third Sister-in-Law. Come over and meet her."

A girl in a pink and blue dress walked up to Su Mulin and called out to her, "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Ke Xin."

Su Mulin smiled and nodded at her.

"But you want that dress, don't you?"

Everyone looked over to see a man in a white shirt with a lemon scent carrying a gift box. The sunlight shone through the window onto his black hair, making him look very warm and pleasant.

As soon as he saw Su Mulin, his eyes were filled with amazement. He smiled at Su Mulin in a friendly manner. The corner of his lips curled up slightly like a March breeze, warm enough to melt a person's heart.

"Second Brother, why did you come back earlier?" Ji Kexin hurriedly went up to welcome him, extremely excited.

In this family, Second Brother was the one who treated her the best. When Ji Leenan returned, she was happier than anyone else in this house, except grandpa.

Second brother? Seeing that Kexin called him that, Su Mulin guessed that the man who carried such a humorous and playful attitude should be the second young master of Ji Family, Ji Leenan.

"Leenan is back too!" Old Master Ji was so happy that his eyes narrowed into slits and couldn't close his mouth at all.

Old Master Ji's heart was filled with joy. He hurriedly told the servants to prepare lunch and have a nice reunion meal here today.

"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful." Ji Luoluo sat beside Su Mulin and sized her up with a smile, "Brother Muchen, you're so lucky."

Su Mulin sneaked a glance at Ji Muchen and saw him sitting there quietly with a newspaper in his hand, reading it with rapt attention.

During the rush, he didn't notice that Ji Muchen had changed into casual clothes today.

The lower half of his body was made of a rarely seen pair of black casual pants. His whole body was emitting the aura of sunlight, as if he could make people want to get closer to him.

"Muchen, you have the ability to find such a beautiful wife so quickly." Ji Leenan joked as he opened the suitcase that he brought back. He saw all the presents in front of him.

"Here, your dress." Ji Leenan took out a dress decorated with patterns and lace and handed it to Ji Kexin.

"Wow, second brother is great. Thank you, second brother."

Then Ji Leenan gave everyone the gifts he had brought back from the outside — clothes, shoes, ornaments.

"You came back and brought so many things with you. It's not expensive at all?" Old Master Ji reproached with a smile, but he couldn't stop the happiness in his tone.

Su Mulin sat quietly on the sofa, looking at the crowd in front of her. She was quickly memorizing the scene in her mind. Besides her three young and capable grandchildren, the warm atmosphere coming from her family was slowly infecting Su Mulin.

"Aiyo, everyone's giving gifts. Is there a part of me?" At this moment, a delicate voice of a woman came from outside the door. When Su Mulin saw her face, she immediately felt a chill down her spine. She clutched a corner of her dress tightly. "My god, why is she here?"

Su Mulin lowered her head, trying not to let the woman who came in see her.
