Ji Mingyue looked at her brother and was still unable to accept the fact.

In her memory, she had an extremely terrible impression of village ladies because of some people.

That distant cousin… Oh my, Ji Mingyue was getting the shudders just at the thought of that person!

Ji Mingyue looked at her eldest brother with a hurt expression. “I… He saved me before! I've always wanted to return the debt of saving my life and even thought that he treated me differently! In the end, he suddenly got engaged.”

Ji Mingzhe sighed. “He saved you because you are my younger sister. Furthermore, even if you're a stranger, Beihan would still save you when he sees that you're in danger. He does not expect you to return the favor. Now that he is engaged, that lady must be someone who he accepts. So, Mingyue, you must not make things difficult for your savior because that's biting the hand that feeds you. Understand?”

Ji Mingyue was even more aggrieved. “I know. That's why I acted like nothing happened when I came out just now. On one hand, it is to protect myself and on the other, I'm afraid it would affect him.”

“I… I just cannot accept it boohoo…”

“All right, all right!” Ji Mingzhe was not angry. In fact, he felt very sorry for this younger sister of his as anyone would be upset if someone they liked got engaged to someone else.

Watching his younger sister grow up, he was fully aware of her character. She was very good, really very good!

“All right. Don't cry anymore. I will bring you to eat good food. It's bad for your body to cry so much. I will bring you to nourish your body, all right?”

“Really?” There were still tears on Ji Mingyue's eyelashes but her eyes lit up!

Ji Mingzhe's lips twitched.

His younger sister was a glutton. No matter what major things happened, she would instantly be all right after a good meal!

Ji Mingzhe replied in a pampering tone, “Yes, really. I previously got some meat and I already handed it to the chef in the dining hall to make a whole air-dry chicken. All of it is for you!”

Ji Mingyue's eyes brightened instantly!

“What are you still waiting for? Quickly go!”

Afterward, she bulled Ji Mingzhe through toward the dining hall.

In the dining hall, the chef had already cooked the chicken for Ji Mingzhe. Ji Mingzhe contained them in a lunch box and headed home.

Their house was not far away from the dining hall and the journey to and fro the dining hall did not take much time.

When he reached home, Ji Mingyue saw the bright red braised chicken and all her despair was converted into appet.i.te as she gobbled everything up.

She did not even have any staples and continuously stuffed herself with chicken meat.

“Woo! Brother, this chicken is really nice! Eldest Brother is still the best. Mo Beihan, that heartless fellow. I liked him for so long but that sc.u.mbag did not even take it to heart. Boohoo, I want to eat a few more pieces!”

Ji Mingzhe: …

Ji Mingyue stuffed her mouth with so much food that her cheeks were puffed up and covered with oil. Ji Mingzhe watched her from the opposite side and the more he watched, the more he found her adorable.

In reality, he knew that his younger sister and Mo Beihan were not really suitable. However, even he had to admit that Mo Beihan attracted many girls: He was good-looking, capable, had a good temper and did not have any bad habits. It was no wonder that his younger sister would have feelings for such an outstanding man like him.

Moreover, he was her lifesaver.

All Ji Mingzhe hoped for was that his younger sister could forget all about this, meet her own destiny in the future and continue to live a carefree life.

Meanwhile, the Qing River Brigade.

The sky had already darkened when Gu Qingyao returned from the Mo family's house. She returned into her room and entered the inters.p.a.ce to do some work for a while before taking a good rest.

The next afternoon, people from the Li family went to the leader w.a.n.g Mingtao's house. Something happened to Li Dahai!
