Chapter 251 - 230: The Real Outlaw

Chapter 251: Chapter 230: The Real Outlaw

Ji Yezong said as he reached out to tug Ji Xizhi’s ear.

Skillfully, he aimed for Ji Xizhi’s ear.

Ji Xizhi nimbly dodged sideways, preventing Ji Yezong from touching her at all.

Ji Xizhi: “What do you want to talk about?”

Ji Xizhi wasn’t quite sure of Ji Yezong’s intentions.

According to the original book’s plot, Ji Yezong didn’t seem to value this sister much, but since it involved the plot of the original character’s adoption, she didn’t act recklessly.

As for Ji Yezong being unable to reach her by phone.

Ji Xizhi recalled carefully. It seemed that ever since she terminated her contract with Hangxing Entertainment, she had blocked calls from strangers.

Ji Yezong’s number wasn’t within the original character’s contact list either.

Seeing Ji Xizhi daringly avoid him, Ji Yezong’s expression darkened, but due to the reason he came here, he ultimately restrained himself from pulling her hair.

“Xixi, you’re quite the star in the entertainment industry now, and Mom has become a vegetable lying in a hospital abroad. You haven’t sent her money for over half a year. How is she supposed to live?”

Ji Yezong twisted his wrist, standing before Ji Xizhi, back to the dim streetlight, his face like a snake flicking its tongue, ready to swallow Ji Xizhi whole in the next second.

“Xixi, I heard you’re studying law again? Didn’t they teach you that you have to support your parents?”

“You have the money to donate to mountain areas, so sending Mom ten million to cover hospital bills shouldn’t be hard!”

Ji Yezong’s voice grew increasingly greedy.

Ji Xizhi calmly retorted, “What illness? That requires ten million? Which hospital is it?”

Ji Xizhi asked in detail.

Ji Yezong, however, seemed infuriated, jumping up: “Is ten million such a big deal for you? You’re so famous now and can donate money to others but acting poor in front of me?”

“I’m telling you, ten million is just for this month. You haven’t sent money for the past few months, including the money for the coming months, have it ready by next month! Our family didn’t send you into the entertainment industry for you to enjoy yourself!”

Ji Yezong’s face contorted, staring at Ji Xizhi.

Initially, Ji Yezong thought Ji Xizhi would react as she used to, by just handing over the money.

But this time, Ji Xizhi didn’t.

Ji Xizhi’s expression remained calm without the slightest ripple. The sea breeze lifted her hair, brushing against her face, making her appear even more composed and beautiful.

Ji Yezong clenched his fists tighter.

It seemed he came back too late; President Huang was right, Ji Xizhi’s heart had flown too far!

“You wouldn’t want your kind image in the entertainment industry to collapse, would you? If your fans found out you spent money donating to the mountains but didn’t support your foster mother, who would still like you?” Ji Yezong suppressed his anger, threatening her, then softened his voice, giving Ji Xizhi one last chance, coaxing: “As long as you listen to your brother, he won’t harm you!”

Ji Yezong tried to brainwash Ji Xizhi with his words.

Ji Xizhi’s face was almost frozen over.

Having been in this book for so long, it turned out that Ji Yezong was the real outlaw!

–

Ji Xizhi was being threatened by Ji Yezong by the seaside.

Online, the three sentences Ji Yezong just uttered in Ji Xizhi’s livestream had already turned this gossip into a hot topic.

Tags like #JiXizhiBrother#, #JiXizhiHasFamily?#, #JiXizhiMomInHospital#, #JiXizhiCold-blooded#, #JiXizhiDonatesButNeglectsMom# climbed the trending list one after another.

The comments below were quite diverse.

Intellectuals firmly supported Ji Xizhi, not believing in this so-called brother, while a significant portion was skeptical, thinking there’s no smoke without fire in the entertainment industry. Others chose to wait and see, waiting for a response.

But regardless, Ji Xizhi’s character crisis once again climbed the trending searches.

President Huang of Hangxing Entertainment sat in his office, leisurely watching the trending topic develop in the direction he envisioned, feeling quite good.

His desk also had a conference call on his computer.

Ji Fengyuan’s voice came from the other side, “Is this your so-called ace? A sure bet? The people have already gone to Ji Xizhi!”

President Huang laughed, “Mr. Ji, don’t worry. When Zhao Ren signed Ji Xizhi, he had thoroughly investigated Ji Xizhi’s family. Do you think Ji Xizhi will still obey unconditionally with her current fame and capabilities?”

“Mr. Ji, to have people willingly follow your lead, you must first stand on the same line. No matter what, Ji Yezong is still family with Ji Xizhi. To use him, one must see clearly that once Ji Yezong understands Ji Xizhi is unyielding, he will know who to seek. By then, toppling Ji Xizhi will be easy!”

President Huang didn’t want to target Ji Xizhi for the first time. Ever since Zhao Ren was imprisoned, Hangxing Entertainment lost a lawsuit, and his ban statement was mocked across the internet, he harbored a deep grudge against Ji Xizhi.

It was not easy to extract some leverage against Ji Xizhi from Zhao Ren during a prison visit, so he certainly wanted to make good use of it.

This time, he’ll use Ji Xizhi’s most familiar field of law to bring her down.

Ji Fengyuan, watching the escalating trending search, calmed his previously irritable tone instantly.

He urged, “Move quickly. Don’t give her a chance to fight back!”

President Huang: “She won’t have any!”

–

The trending search about Ji Xizhi spread across the entire internet quickly under the quiet push by Hangxing Entertainment.

The PD returned to the show group when Director Wang and the entire crew were already aware.

The remaining eight guests on the show were still enjoying on Le Qiqi’s luxury yacht, unaware of the specific situation due to not checking their phones, still happily playing on board.

It was agreed by the show group that Ji Xizhi would leave the ship to attend classes, which everyone knew.

Zhu Xiu’an initially wanted to go along, but now has Bai Zhe, his new protege, to explain case after case during dinner earnestly.

Zhu Xiu’an was eager to teach Bai Zhe everything he had learned in life.

“When it comes to those black fans in the entertainment industry, let me give you a few examples and focus on how to send them to the station!”

Bai Zhe listened to it endlessly all evening, but by the end, he couldn’t bear it any longer.

But since Ji Xizhi wasn’t on the boat, he couldn’t go looking for her either.

After much thought, Zhu Xiu’an was the most familiar with Ji Xizhi. If he could get some information from Zhu Xiu’an, that would be the best.

After hours of contact, Bai Zhe was able to ascertain that Zhu Xiu’an was simply low in emotional intelligence and brainless, making him the best choice among the guests to pry for information.

Bai Zhe forced himself to suppress his dissatisfaction with Zhu Xiu’an and began probing, “Brother Yue, how about we change the topic and relax a bit?”

Zhu Xiu’an, in the middle of his fervent explanation, shot Bai Zhe a glare that said, “How can you dare speak during class?”

Bai Zhe clenched his fist, ignoring the gaze, “Aren’t you thirsty after talking so much, Brother Yue? Let’s take a break and just chat. We can continue tonight!”

Upon mention of thirst, Zhu Xiu’an realized he was indeed parched and paused, “I am a bit thirsty, let me have some water.”

Bai Zhe took this opportunity to probe, “Brother Yue, I heard you’re quite close with Ji Xizhi? Do you know what kind of guys she likes?”

When Bai Zhe asked, he deliberately removed the mic and brought Zhu Xiu’an to the deck with the least cameras.

Hearing the question, Zhu Xiu’an was shocked, “You have a crush on Ji Xizhi?”

Bai Zhe feigned modesty, “No, no, how could I be worthy of Teacher Ji!”

Zhu Xiu’an immediately withdrew his surprised expression, seriously stating, “Indeed, you’re not a match!”

Bai Zhe was taken aback by Zhu Xiu’an’s genuine agreement and nod of assent.

Bai Zhe’s face suddenly changed. He could be modest, but when others commented, he wasn’t pleased.

Bai Zhe barely contained his anger, thinking that if he weren’t relying on Zhu Xiu’an’s close ties with Ji Xizhi, he would’ve left already.

Gritting his teeth, Bai Zhe squeezed out the words, finally asking:

“Well, could you tell me what kind of guys Ji Xizhi actually likes?”
