85 Being Friendly
Ji Jun called Yu Han. “Are you leaving? Do you need someone to pick you up?”
“No need. I’ve already set off. I’ll take a taxi there.” Yu Han hurriedly rejected.
Ji Jun recalled that he could vaguely hear her laughter when he picked up the call. “Why do you sound so happy?”
“Hahaha, no. I was just reading the news online. The netizens are too talented.” Yu Han showed him the article she had just seen from the marketing account. “They actually said that we are father and daughter acting partners.”
Ji Jun’s face darkened. He was very sure that there was something wrong with the netizens’ judgment this year. He was only five or six years older than Yu Han. How did they become father and daughter acting partners? Could it be that his face looked very old?
Ji Jun couldn’t help but turn on his cell phone’s camera and take a look. He only relaxed after confirming that he was still in his prime and still as handsome.
Therefore, as expected, this batch of netizens did not have good taste. If a handsome man and a beautiful woman wanted to form a partnership, they would be a couple partners. How could they be father and daughter partners?
Ji Jun suddenly paused. What was he thinking?
He could not help but fall into deep thought.
Old Master walked around the living room with his walking stick and glanced at the clock from time to time. “Why isn’t she here yet?” He didn’t forget to bang his walking stick on the floor.
Ji Jun was woken up by that voice. When he came back to his senses, he reminded his grandfather, “Our agreed time is six o’clock sharp. It’s only half past five now.”
Old Master glared at him. “Don’t I know the time? I’m just nagging. Why are you in such a hurry?” At this point, he glared at Ji Jun, who was sitting peacefully on the sofa. “Why are you so stupid? Why can’t you say that you’ll pick her up at six o’clock?”
Ji Jun was speechless. “Grandpa, have you forgotten that I just got off the plane too?”
“Isn’t that even more of a coincidence? You can pick her up along the way.” Old Master Ji looked at him with an expression that said, “You can’t do this.” “Back then, when I was wooing your Grandma, I wanted to see her whenever I had the chance. I had to create an opportunity even when I didn’t have the chance. In the end, you didn’t seize the opportunity in front of you. You deserved to be single for so many years.”
Mrs. Ji grumbled, “Didn’t I say that the two of them are just friends? Why are you so anxious? What if the girl misunderstands?” Anyway, she did not like her.
Ji Jun thought to himself: You’re thinking too much. Yu Han won’t misunderstand this.
Old Master Ji turned his attention to her. “Don’t pull a long face. We’re holding a thank-you banquet today, not to collect debts from her. It’ll seem too rude if you keep this on.”
“Alright, like you said, I will show my elegance as the host.” Mrs. Ji squeezed out a fake smile, looking as insincere as possible.
Suddenly, the sound of a car came from outside. Old Master Ji shivered. “Is our guest here?”
The servant went to take a look when she heard that. She came back and said happily, “Old Master, our guest is here. It’s a very beautiful young lady.”
Old Master Ji’s eyes lit up. He walked to the door with his walking stick. “Then we have to welcome our guest.”
Since Old Master Ji had already made a move, Mrs. Ji could only follow him unwillingly.
Yu Han alighted from the taxi with two gifts in her hands. She turned around and saw the guard at the door leaning out to size her up. “Are you Miss Yu?”
“Yes, I am.” Yu Han waved at him politely.
The guard revealed a warm smile. “Welcome to the Ji Family.” At the same time, he opened the big iron door. “You may enter.”
“Alright, thank you.” Yu Han walked in smoothly. After passing by a small garden and turning past a bunch of bamboo, her vision suddenly cleared up and she finally saw the door of the villa.
She looked up and saw the long-legged and tall Ji Jun at first glance. He was wearing a jade-white top and black casual pants, looking simple and refreshing. Beside him was an old man with gray hair and a rather serious expression. There was also a graceful and noble lady, but this lady did not look too good.
Yu Han instinctively revealed a smile and was about to greet them when she saw the lady, who did not look too friendly, suddenly push aside the old man in front and rush over to grab Yu Han’s hand. She said enthusiastically, “Aiya, you’re the girl who helped our brat. You’re so beautiful.”
Yu Han was stunned. This was Ji Jun’s mother? Why was she so friendly? Her personality was a little different from Ji Jun’s.
