Chapter 54 -54: Can it be done?

The two of them finished cooking the glutinous rice balls and brought them out together, where Mr. Ji and Ji Xinghang also came over.

Mr. Ji greeted Luo Ning with a smile, “Ningning’s here!”

“Hello, Uncle Ji,” Luo Ning called out politely.

Mr. Ji nodded at her before walking over to Qi Yuelan with an ingratiating smile, “The glutinous rice balls made by my wife really smell amazing.”

Qi Yuelan glanced at him, “Even dogs don’t have the nose you do.”

Mr. Ji choked, touched his nose with a cry-laugh expression, “I’m just praising your excellent cooking skills.”

Seeing Ji Xinghang standing still, he felt the boy was clueless, “What are you standing there for? Pull out a chair for your wife!”

Luo Ning: “…”

She found that Mr. Ji’s image as a stern and successful businessman was getting farther and farther away from the first time they met.

Reminded by his father, Ji Xinghang quickly moved to pull out a chair for Luo Ning.

Out of respect for the elders, Luo Ning didn’t refuse, but after sitting down, she still said to Mr. Ji, “Uncle Ji, Ji Xinghang and I have already broken up.”

So, there’s no need for Ji Xinghang to call anything ‘wife’ in the future.

Mr. Ji, with a dumbfounded expression, asked, “When did you break up? You’re not just messing around, are you?”

The two grew up together and seemed to have a good relationship. Luo Ning always used to be so considerate towards his son, so why the sudden breakup?

Luo Ning replied, “We broke up not too long ago, it’s not a joke, we’re serious.”

Ji Xinghang felt a sharp pain in his heart and said, “I never agreed to it.”

Luo Ning couldn’t be bothered with him, “We’re not getting a divorce, which would require mutual consent to certify; whether you agree or not, we’re broken up.”

Ji Xinghang: “…”

Indeed, Luo Ning was softer than anyone when she softened up, and when it was time to be tough, she was tougher than anyone else.

Mr. Ji looked at Luo Ning with some disbelief, “Ningning, are you serious?”

Luo Ning nodded, “Yes.”

Mr. Ji suddenly didn’t know what to say.

He actually liked Luo Ning as his future daughter-in-law quite a bit. How did it end up that in the time it took him to go abroad to pick up a wife, his son’s fiancée was gone?

“Did you bully Ningning, or do something unforgivable to her?” he asked Ji Xinghang with a frown.

It must be this damned kid who did something irreparable, otherwise, given how much Luo Ning cares about this brat, it’s impossible she would aggressively initiate a breakup like this.

Ordinarily, Ji Xinghang would have impatiently talked back to Mr. Ji, but now he just wasn’t in the mood, “Yes, I did something that made Ningning angry, so she won’t forgive me.”

Mr. Ji didn’t know what to say, this son of his was very intelligent, but emotionally, he seemed a bit desperate.

“So you’re not going to ask for Ningning’s forgiveness?” he huffed.

Ji Xinghang looked down and poked at the glutinous rice balls in his bowl with his chopsticks, his voice muffled and stifled as he said, “I did ask, but she won’t forgive me.”

Mr. Ji: “…” It seems that Luo Ning is really playing for keeps.

He was just about to say something when his waist was pinched hard, and then he saw his wife glaring at him.

He swallowed the words that were about to persuade Luo Ning and cast a helpless look at Ji Xinghang.

Ji Xinghang suddenly remembered the matter of the day and asked his dad, “Is Liu Family now headed by Liu Shaoxian?”

Mr. Ji replied, “Pretty much, Liu Shaoxian took over the Liu Family last year.”

“Wait, are you thinking about leaving the entertainment circle to take over the Ji Family too?”

He couldn’t wait for his son to take over the burden so he could go traveling with his wife, making up for all the lost time.

Ji Xinghang said nothing, “I’m not planning on leaving the entertainment circle for now, you’ll have to continue working hard.”

Mr. Ji: “…” This unfilial son.

“Why are you asking about the Liu Family?” he asked.

Ji Xinghang didn’t hide anything and recounted the evening’s events.

Both Mr. Ji and Qi Yuelan were very angry upon hearing this.

“Liu Shaoxian has gone too far, does he think our Ningning doesn’t have anyone to stand up for her?” Qi Yuelan said angrily, slapping her hand on the table.

Then she told Mr. Ji, “Go give the Liu Family a lesson, act where you must.”

Mr. Ji nodded, “Okay.”

“Aunt Lan, I’ll handle the Liu Family matter, there’s no need to trouble Uncle Ji.”

Even though she was moved by Aunt Lan and Mr. Ji’s readiness to fight for her, Luo Ning didn’t want to bother the Ji Family now that she and Ji Xinghang had broken up.

Besides, she preferred to settle her past life’s grudges by herself.

Seeing Luo Ning’s determination, Qi Yuelan sighed, “Then how are you going to handle it? Even if you and Xinghang have broken up, we’ll always be your support.”

Mr. Ji also said, “Yes, I don’t mind the trouble; the Liu Family may be not bad, but they still lack the heritage of the Ji Family.”

Since his wife cared so much for Luo Ning, he saw her as a beloved younger family member and naturally wouldn’t allow others to bully one of their own.

Luo Ning gave a slight smile, “I already have a plan in mind to deal with the Liu Family, and if I truly need Uncle Ji’s help, I won’t be shy to ask.”

Seeing her insistence, Mr. Ji could only nod, “Okay, don’t hesitate to ask for anything you need.”

“Sure!” Luo Ning nodded her head and then asked, “Uncle Ji, the Liu Family must have enemies, right? Do you know of any families that are big competitors with them and also have bad relations?”

She had also had someone investigate this in her past life, but before the results came out, she had been forced to jump off a building.

Mr. Ji replied, “I do know that, the biggest competitor to the Liu Family with the worst relationship is the Wu Family. I’ve cooperated with the Wu Family before and I know they’re at irreconcilable odds with the Liu Family.”

“You’re thinking of using the Liu Family’s enemies to act against them? That might not work,” he added.

Luo Ning asked curiously, “Why won’t it work?”

Mr. Ji replied, “The Wu Family has been very unlucky lately, especially since the Direct Lineage of the Wu Family has suffered a series of accidents recently. They’ve also made investment mistakes, their company is in crisis, and they’re struggling with their own problems; it’s unlikely they have the energy to deal with the Liu Family.”

Luo Ning caught onto the key point, “Their Direct Lineage has been suffering one accident after another?”

Mr. Ji sighed and said, “Yes, their family even suspected that the accidents were caused by someone, but the investigations showed nothing was amiss—car accidents, being hit by falling objects from high buildings, sudden illness leading to hospitalization. It’s just a streak of really bad luck for them.”

Luo Ning asked, “Isn’t it abnormal to have such a string of accidents continuously occurring? Didn’t they have someone look into it?”

“The Wu Family also found it abnormal, so they invited two Feng Shui Masters, but nothing was resolved,” Mr. Ji shook his head.

An idea sparked in Luo Ning’s mind, “Uncle Ji, could you connect me with the Wu Family? I want to help them take a look.”

Mr. Ji was taken aback. “You want to help them? Are you sure?”

He knew that Luo Ning’s father was highly skilled in Geomancy Xuanxue but also knew he had disappeared. Did Luo Ning possess these skills too?

Luo Ning replied confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ve almost caught up to my father in Feng Shui matters recently.”
