Chapter 365 Ye Zi's Background?
After parting ways with them, Ji Yu'an's smile faded slightly: "Actually, you don't need to be so nice to them. You are Grandpa's most important guest. If they are impolite to you, you can directly retort, or have the housekeeper kick them out."
Jiang Zhouzhou smiled nonchalantly: "Today is Grandpa's birthday banquet, everyone should just have a good time."
The interplay of light and shadow in the corridor caused her facial features to shift and change with the alternation of light and dark.
The hem of her long dress swayed as she walked, and no matter what happened, she always seemed to just laugh it off.
"And I'm not angry..."
Her bright eyes dimmed for a moment, but then quickly regained their sparkling appearance.
“During my live streams, I've encountered all sorts of people. Some of them said even harsher things, but many others who started criticizing me eventually became my fans.”
"Compared to those people, they are like high-quality potential customers, and I don't need to explain or prove anything to them. If they are really curious about me, what could be more real than seeing it for themselves?"
Ji Yu'an looked down at her face and said softly, "Zhouzhou, you are too kind. People who are too kind are easily bullied."
Jiang Zhouzhou raised her eyebrows high and retorted, "I'm not kind at all. I'm waiting for them to come to my live stream and empty their wallets!"
Ji Yu'an was amused by her: "Hmm, that's really bad."
As the two walked, they naturally attracted the attention of some people.
The way he looked at Ji Yu'an, in particular, carried a meaningful and inquisitive tone.
There are many secrets in wealthy families. This grandson of Old Master Ji was once the center of attention, but it is said that his birth was not so glorious.
Jiang Zhouzhou naturally noticed the subtle meaning in those gazes, but when she looked at Ji Yu'an, his expression was calm, as if it were commonplace.
As you walk through the corridor, the surroundings gradually quiet down.
In a secluded spot, a scarlet light flickered.
It seems that a few young men didn't like the atmosphere of the banquet hall, so they hid here to smoke and chat.
Upon seeing Ji Yu'an and Jiang Zhouzhou, the group immediately stopped talking and walked towards them.
Ji Yu'an frowned, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
They wanted to leave with Jiang Zhouzhou as soon as possible, but several tall and burly men blocked their way.
"Heh, isn't this Ji the little bastard?"
"I heard you came back from recuperating out of town. Judging from your appearance, you must have fully recovered!"
"He came back but didn't even ask us to get together. It seems he really doesn't consider us brothers."
"Why do you look so fierce? Did something upset our little bastard Ji?"
The words spoken by the men were increasingly harsh.
Ji Yu'an's face turned deathly pale, especially when the word "bastard" was mentioned.
Suddenly, a slender figure blocked his way.
"Your mouths smell so bad, did you lick a septic tank truck on your way here?"
"People tend to repeatedly mention what they lack most. You keep calling someone a bastard because you are one."
"And eyes are a good thing. Since you can tell he doesn't like you, why do you still have the nerve to come over and act like a fool?"
For a moment, the men who had been scolded were stunned as they watched her small mouth open and close.
How can someone so beautiful have such dirty mouth?
Even Ji Yu'an's eyes showed confusion; he hadn't expected Zhouzhou to be so quick at scolding people, even more so than when praising them.
One of the men who was being insulted became enraged: "So what if he's the grandson of the Ji family? He's a bastard, a worthless illegitimate child who can't be brought to the table, a lowly thing that even his own father doesn't acknowledge."
Jiang Zhouzhou had her back to Ji Yu'an, so she couldn't see his expression.
But when the man revealed his past, she could clearly feel his heavy breathing behind her.
She had experienced this kind of hostility before.
Her parents divorced normally, but people in the village gossiped that her mother had run off with a rich man.
The reason her father abandoned her at home was because she was born from an affair.
In rural areas, divorce is considered a very shameful thing.
Her parents didn't live in her rural hometown, so she was forced to endure all the gossip.
They don't need to know the truth; they just need to fabricate rumors to vent their inexplicable hostility, just like keyboard warriors online.
Children have poor discernment and tend to believe what adults say, so they don't really like her.
Jiang Zhouzhou swears. How could a child raised in that kind of environment not be a little fierce?
Everyone else has parents to protect them, but she doesn't.
Gradually, I learned to swallow my anger and keep all the bad things to myself.
She had always thought that Ye Zi's background was similar to her own, but she never expected that his background was even more complicated.
But so what!
Jiang Zhouzhou stared directly at the man in front of her and suddenly asked, "Are you the son of the world's richest man?"
The man was taken aback by her question and honestly replied, "No."
Jiang Zhouzhou's lips curled into a faint sneer. Her soft voice was light and airy, yet it was particularly hurtful: "Yes! You are not the son of the world's richest man because you cannot choose your own birth. Everyone understands this truth, but you can't learn to use this truth to respect others."
After all, it was Old Master Ji's birthday banquet. After being reprimanded, the group was furious but dared not cause any trouble and could only leave in anger.
Seeing that they had left, Jiang Zhouzhou's tense body finally relaxed.
Just like a cat with its fur standing on end, it can relax for a short while after baring its teeth and claws to drive away the enemy.
Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, and she was pulled into Ji Yu'an's arms.
"Zhouzhou, thank you."
The voice above her head was a little hoarse. Jiang Zhouzhou raised her eyes slightly and saw that his eyes were a little red. So she let him hold her.
If someone had stepped forward to help her, she would have wanted to hug them.
In another inconspicuous corner, Lin Chen witnessed everything.
Upon learning that Ye Zi was Ji Yu'an, he disliked this black lotus very much.
Upon arriving at Old Master Ji's birthday banquet, his first task was to search for Zhouzhou, lest this scheming woman lay a hand on her.
As it turned out, he actually got there one step ahead of schedule.
Zhouzhou didn't even consider that this was Ji family territory. Who the hell would dare to mess with Ji Yu'an?
Sometimes, Lin Chen's IQ is surprisingly high.
He didn't step forward, but instead walked towards the men who had left. He wanted to expose the true nature of this black lotus to Zhouzhou and send him flying as far away as possible...
