Chapter 1 Rebirth

Accompanied by two knocks on the door, the voice of the servant Xu Ma sounded faintly at the door, "Miss San, Miss Eldest wants you to go down for dinner."

Ji Lingjue did not respond, but walked down from the bay window in slippers slowly and walked to the bathroom.

Mother Xu heard the sound of movement in the room at the door, and she thought that the new "third young lady" of the Ji family heard it. After all, she was a young lady who had been raised outside for many years and was just adopted. It was said that she didnt like to talk, so she didnt urge her too much.

Ji Lingjue looked at herself in the mirror, young, pale, thin, and even looked a little malnourished. Compared with the time when she died in a car accident, she looked much better.

At that time, she had just woken up in the hospital. There was neither her child nor her uterus in her empty belly. And her hands were too weak to hold the paintbrush. What greeted her was the death of her adoptive father, a large amount of surgery fees owed to the hospital, and a so-called childhood sweetheart who betrayed her and even beat her up. She walked out of the hospital in a daze-she didnt expect that she would be hit by a car and killed.

Ha. She was reborn!

Ji Lingjue poured a handful of cold water on her face and was stunned for a long time. Yes, she was reborn back to the third day when she was brought back to the Ji family by her elder sister Ji Mingyan. She didnt expect it.

The air in the early autumn was still a little sultry, but this handful of cold water gave Ji Lingjue goose bumps all over her body. Jis family - the place where she had to die to leave in her last life.

Ji Lingjue suddenly raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She took a deep breath, opened the door, and went down the stairs step by step.

Today is the family dinner of the Ji family once a month. All the elders and juniors of the Ji family gathered together, and almost no one dared to be absent.

Ji Mingrui, the son of the second uncle, whistled, but glanced at him with contempt, "Oh, the little wild one is born."

"What my cousin said is really unpleasant. If my father heard it, he would scold us. Besides, outsiders are here, dont let them think that men in our Ji family are good at talking." The person who said this was her half-sister Ji Minqi.

Ji Mingde, the head of the Ji family, specifically told the family to announce to the outside world that Ji Lingjue was a wanderer and was about the same age as Ji Minqi.

No one was allowed to ask about the reason.

She grew up in an orphanage and had few memories of her childhood. After that, she was brought up by her adoptive father.

Ji Minqi looked at her newly made nails, turning her fingers from time to time to play with them, without giving Ji Lingjue a look.

A relative from the side branch who was sitting on the side came over and smiled to please Ji Minqi, "Thats right, look at her yellow skin and skinny skin, as if our family doesnt give her food to eat, she looks so weak, who is she pretending to be."

Ji Minqi glanced at him and blew on her nails, "Its hard to say, men, dont they like weak and fragile women?"

"Tsk. Dont you even look in the mirror?"

The cousins ​​talked to each other, and no elders interrupted them.

Ji Lingjue lowered his head, looking as if he was humiliated by what everyone said.

Ji Minqi looked at Ji Lingjue lowering his head, and felt happy. It was hard for a poor man who had been raised outside for so many years, without the temperament of a rich girl, but just like this.

"Yeah, look at what shes wearing. How could the eldest sisters biological sister be so miserable?"

"Thats right. I really dont understand why the uncle would take such an old daughter back. How old is she? Is she about the same age as Sister Minqi?"

Ji Minqis eyes flashed with panic. Of course, she couldnt be older than a child left by an ex-wife, otherwise what would she be? An illegitimate child?

"What are you talking about? She must be older than me."

"Hey, did you hear that she has good grades and was admitted to Jingshi University!"

Ji Minqi gritted her teeth and glanced at the cousin who had just spoken. "Isnt it just that she was admitted to a university? Whats there to be proud of? Without my dads help, she wouldnt be able to find a job after graduation! Dont forget, shes not young anymore."

I just graduated, and she just went to college. Isnt she the youngest?

"Thats right, my second cousin has joined the Ji family now, and she is better than many graduates from Jingshi University."

Ji Minqis expression eased slightly after hearing this.

"Quiet." Ji Mingyan stood up, wearing a dress that was decent and elegant. She did not fail to hear the whispers of these brothers and sisters just now, but her expression remained the same. "The uncles and aunts are all here. Aunt Xu, where are father and madam?"

Aunt Xu saw Ji Mingyans eyes and shrank slightly before saying, "The master and the lady are coaxing the young master in the yard, and they will come over soon."

Ji Mingyan nodded slightly, indicating that she knew, and then sat down.

In her previous life, Ji Lingjue only felt that this eldest sister had thunderous means, forcing her adoptive father to give up herself, forcing herself to go back to the Ji family with her, and finally even forcing her to enter into a business marriage with other big families.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Ji Mingyan who let her go. Even when she had nothing and couldnt pay for the medical expenses, it was Ji Mingyan who paid for it - maybe, this elder sister is not as cold-blooded as she thought.

A table of people gathered around a large dining table, and the voices that were originally discussing in low voices became quiet because of Ji Mingyans stop.

The master mentioned by Xu Ma is Ji Lingjues biological father Ji Mingde, and the lady is not her biological mother, but Ji Mingdes second wife Sun Zhizhi. Among the four children of the Ji family, only Ji Minqi and the old son Ji Mingjia came out of her belly.

The elder sister Ji Mingyan and her Ji Lingjue are both children of Ji Mingdes ex-wife.

"Xu Ma, why dont you bring the young masters chair over!" Ji Mingde saw that Xu Ma had not prepared Ji Mingjias child chair, and said sternly.

Five-year-old Ji Mingjia insisted on being held, and Sun Zhizhi said to Ji Mingde with a helpless smile, "Husband, our son insists on being held by you."

Ji Mingde immediately smiled, squatted down slightly and picked up Ji Mingjia, "Oh, my little baby, lets go, lets go eat."

Sun Zhizhi glanced at Ji Lingjue who was sitting at the end, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. He was just a person who was not presentable, and the Ji family didnt lack this bite of food anyway.

She looked at her own son again. This was Ji Mingdes only biological son, and he would inherit everything from Ji Mingde in the future!

Ji Mingjia refused to eat quietly, so Sun Zhizhi had to coax him patiently, "This is the freshest shrimp paste, dear son, dont you love this the most? Try it?"

But the son didnt buy it at all, overturned the bowl, turned his head away, "No! No!" He also flipped the bowl and chopsticks onto the dining table, and there was a lot of ding-dong. The servants immediately came over to clean up the mess.

Ji Mingde was not angry at all when he saw this, "Im sorry to make you laugh, my little son is still a little spoiled."

The relatives of the side branch could only hold him, "Mingjia is still young, and he is at the age of playing."

Ji Mingde looked at the harmonious atmosphere of the table, except for Ji Lingjue, who was sitting at the end, who lowered his head slightly and ate with a calm expression.

Seeing the daughter of his ex-wife, Ji Mingde felt a little complicated. Emotionally, he owed her. The daughter of the Ji family grew up in an ordinary family with poor conditions.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingde said, "Leng Jue has been back for a while. Everyone here today is our relative. Lets get to know each other better."

Sun Zhizhi said to Ji Lingjue kindly, "Lingjue, if you need anything, please tell me. Although auntie is not your biological mother, when I see you, I feel like you are my biological daughter."

In her previous life, she was very timid because she lived in a wealthy family for the first time, and she did not respond to Sun Zhizhis open words of concern. Ji Mingde accused her of not learning some decent etiquette after staying outside for so many years.

Why didnt you answer when your auntie spoke to you? You are so uneducated.

The memories of the previous life are still vivid...

So this time-

She looked up, with a smile on her face, and nodded seriously: "Thank you for your concern, madam, you are so kind."
