Wei Yang found Ji Tingzhou in the dressing room. After spending some time in the crowd, Ji Tingzhou felt that he had been tainted by the smell of alcohol, so he went upstairs to change his clothes. When Wei Yang entered, Ji Tingzhou happened to be picking out new cufflinks. “What’s wrong?” Seeing the blood on Wei Yang’s face, Ji Tingzhou wasn’t the least bit surprised. Because of that note, he suspected there was an internal issue and had someone investigate thoroughly. Sure enough, they found a few suspicious individuals. Once their identities were exposed, they immediately resisted, wanting to go down fighting. Wei Yang, of course, didn’t let them off. “They’ve been dealt with.” “We found this in their possession.” Wei Yang signaled his subordinate to step forward and show Ji Tingzhou the box. Inside the small glass bottle, a blue liquid shimmered, emitting an eerie glow. “The note was telling the truth.” “Someone really did try to poison, but there’s clearly one bottle missing. Could it have been poured into the food meant for the guests?” Thinking of the trouble that would arise if someone died, Wei Yang’s face turned fierce. Ji Tingzhou, on the other hand, seemed thoughtful. “Send it for analysis. We need to know what it is first.” His calm demeanor helped Wei Yang regain his composure. “Ji Nian was just looking for you. Go keep an eye on her.” Ji Tingzhou wasn’t worried about much else, but he couldn’t help but be concerned about Ji Nian. With her naive demeanor, a few sweet words from someone might easily win her over. Now that Ji Nian’s identity had been revealed, it was inevitable that her safety would be at risk, and Wei Yang understood that. But before leaving, he asked, “What about Shen Qingtang?” Shen Qingtang was now Ji Tingzhou’s nominal daughter. Although she was only an adopted child, she was still part of the Ji Family. “Keep an eye on her too.” Wei Yang nodded. Just as he stepped out, he ran into Ji Nian, who was accompanied by her cheerful dog, Big Egg. The dog had also been dressed up for the occasion, its fur shiny and a green bow tie around its neck, matching Ji Nian’s outfit. It looked quite dashing. Perhaps aware of how handsome it looked, the dog kept grinning. “Wei Yang!” Seeing the blood on Wei Yang’s face, Ji Nian froze. 【Did I arrive too late!?】 Gu Xiuyuan didn’t find this odd. It was normal for kids to dislike bugs. At least it was better than someone who liked to stare at new things. Realizing he was thinking about that cold girl again, Gu Xiuyuan pursed his lips. “My father is calling me. I have to go.” Seeing the message on his phone, Gu Xiuyuan stood up. Shen Qingtang was reluctant to see him go. It was rare for her to have a friend her age to talk to. “Are we friends?” she asked cautiously. Gu Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah, I guess.” Shen Qingtang immediately smiled. “Will you come see me again?” “I don’t know.” Gu Xiuyuan didn’t want to lie. He really wasn’t sure. He had to learn so many things every day, and there was little time for play. “We’ll meet again.” He had initially planned to give the jar of fireflies to Shen Qingtang, but then he remembered how he had been teased and scared to tears by that cold-hearted girl just to learn how to catch them. In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to part with them. Instead, he patted her shoulder like a mature little adult and said goodbye. Shen Qingtang watched his retreating figure with disappointment but quickly cheered up. It’s okay, she had a friend now! When Gu Xiuyuan returned to his father’s side, Gu Jing looked down at him, his expression unreadable. “Shen Rushan’s daughter. Ji Tingzhou adopted her, probably out of gratitude for saving his life.” “The inheritance will go to his biological daughter.” No need to say more. Just by observing their positions, it was clear who Ji Tingzhou valued more. Not to mention, that child was practically a carbon copy of him. The phrase Gu Xiuyuan heard most often was how much he resembled his father. Naturally, Gu Jing also favored this son who took after him. But without comparison, there was no harm. Look at Ji Tingzhou. He practically cloned himself. “You should know what’s important.” Gu Xiuyuan nodded to show he understood. But deep down, he felt very wronged. That Ji Nian was so fierce; he didn’t want to get close to her. Of course, the main point of his grievance was— Ji Nian completely ignored him! The beloved, top-tier young master of the Gu Family was being treated like air!
