Chapter 44 - The Plan of Stealing Other Girls' Men

Sometimes the harmonious relationship between husband and wife and their good living conditions are envied by people, especially by the unhappy people. And these unhappy people want to break up these couples desperately.

Ji Xiaoli had just selected a commercial building located near Yuanyang Lake, mainly because it was not far from home and had beautiful environment. And Qi Xiaoguang could reach this building in less than 20 minutes by car, which was also acceptable.

After selecting the building, Ji Xiaoli first hired construction workers to decorate the building, and then recruited staff for her studio. Her studio had not been officially established, and it was just in its infancy. There might be a small number of job seekers willing to join the studio, but that didn’t mean the studio couldn’t recruit the employees it needed. Ji Xiaoli was confident to recruit some people to join her studio.

Ji Xiaoli’s step-by-step plan was being implemented in an orderly manner, with a seemingly good future, while Ji Xuewei couldn’t wait to take hostile actions.

Ji Ruoyun did go to Ji Xuewei’s home for a visit the next day after the phone call, and deliberately put on delicate make-up. Fang Youlan didn’t know her daughter’s plan, so she was puzzled when she saw Ji Ruoyun coming, “Ruoyun, why are you here?”

Seeing her aunt’s confused expression, Ji Ruoyun thought to herself, ‘Cousin Ji Xuewei is really considerate. She didn’t tell my aunt about it. Otherwise I will be embarrassed in front of my aunt.’

“Aunt, is cousin Ji Xuewei at home?”

Fang Youlan nodded, pointed to Ji Xuewei’s room and said, “Yes, you are lucky. She didn’t go out today. It’s almost 9:30 now. You can stay here for lunch later.”

Ji Ruoyun didn’t regarded her aunt as an outsider. She nodded with a smile and went directly to Ji Xuewei’s room.

Ji Xuewei was in the room and could hear what happened outside. At that time, she was still browsing something on the computer. As soon as she heard someone coming in, she turned off the computer and pretended to be reading a baby magazine.

“Cousin, why are you reading this?” Ji Ruoyun was surprised to see that Ji Xuewei had many magazines in her room, such as Pregnant Women’s Rules, Precautions for Ten Months’ Pregnancy, Necessary Reading Materials for Perfect Mother-to-be.

Ji Xuewei smiled softly and touched her still flat belly, “I am pregnant. I’m reading these magazines to kill time, but actually they are very useful.”

‘No wonder she doesn’t use the phone next to her. Pregnant women can’t use the phone for a long time.’ Ji Ruoyun nodded thoughtfully. Looking at her cousin’s flat belly, she was filled with mixed feelings.

She didn’t envy her cousin. After all, her cousin treated her very well. But her cousin’s luck was really much better than her own. She met her cousin’s boyfriend Qin Zheng once. Qin Zheng was handsome and had a distinguished family background. In addition, her cousin was pregnant so soon. Then her cousin must be the rich lady in the rich family.

At the thought of these, Ji Ruoyun lowered her head and became dejected and despondent. It drove you hopping mad to compare yourself with the luckier persons.

Ji Xuewei knew that she only needed to pretend to read mother-to-be magazines, which was enough to make Ji Ruoyun envious. Then she gave her another push, “Ruoyun, I asked you to come to my home today for the things we discussed last time. Your appearance and smart mind are very dominant, so you are likely to marry a man with good economic conditions in the future.”

“Is that true? But I don’t have a higher education background. Will they like a woman not well-educated?”

Ji Xuewei chuckled in her heart, ‘The ordinary person won’t really like your ignorance.’ But she smiled as if she didn’t care about it, “Is academic background important? Your sister Ji Xiaoli graduated from a top-class university, but she was dismissed by a company a while ago. So you don’t need to care about these trivial things. Have more confidence in yourself.”

She just wanted Ji Ruoyun to have this belief. Even if Ji Ruoyun couldn’t get married with Qin Zhenyang at last, she could cause some trouble for Qin Zhenyang’s family life, which was what Ji Xuewei wanted.

Ji Ruoyun had not been praised for a long time. She always knew that what her cousin said had always been very pleasant. Her cousin never criticized her shortcomings, and was different from those who liked to satirize her, which was why she liked to stay with Ji Xuewei. Even though her parents sometimes criticized her shortcomings, Ji Xuewei would never do so.

She grinned, looked at her enchanting face in the landing mirror and blushed, “In fact, I also think I’m good looking. After listening to your words, I also feel that I deserve those people.”

A long time ago, her father always compared Ji Xiaoli’s score with her, and scolded her, “Ji Xiaoli’s score is the first in grade every time. Ji Xiaoli has the ability to go to a good middle school, and you haven’t even graduated from junior high school.”

At that time, she thought she was inferior to Ji Xiaoli, but at this time she thought, ‘Education background is not important. I don’t want to be a bookworm. I am beautiful, and I will take advantage of my appearance. I can also marry a man with good financial conditions and live a better life, just like sister Ji Xuewei.’

This foolish Ji Ruoyun’s lofty aspirations made Ji Xuewei secretly happy. Ji Xuewei believed that Ji Ruoyun would play a key role in the implementation of her plan. At that time, Situ Liuli was recovering from illness at home, which made her sad. But at this time she thought it didn’t matter, and she could use Ji Ruoyun to carry out her plan. Ji Ruoyun could also make conflicts between Ji Xiaoli and Qin Zhenyang.

“Ji Ruoyun, take a look at this. This is a gift from my husband. The market price of this bag is nearly 20000 yuan, but I don’t think I’m suitable for the bright red one. You are young and have fair skin, so this bag suits you very well. I’ll give it to you if you like. Do you like this bag?” Ji Xuewei said as she took out a handbag with a tag from her cabinet.

Ji Ruoyun was shocked by the price of the handbag. She admitted that she had vanity, but even if she bought a bag, she would never buy a bag that cost more than 500 yuan. Her salary was only 2000 yuan. If it cost thousands of yuan to buy a bag, she couldn’t even afford to eat.

So when she saw the bag, she didn’t even look at it carefully. She looked at the four zeros on the label and swallowed immediately, “It’s very nice, Xuewei. Are you really going to give this bag to me?”

Ji Xuewei said with a generous smile, “Yes, this bag means nothing to me. We are good cousins. I’d like to share anything good with you. And I’ve never given such a valuable gift to an outsider.”

“Thank you, cousin.”

After receiving such a valuable gift, Ji Ruoyun’s attitude became more attentive, and Ji Xuewei’s next words surprised Ji Ruoyun and made her to carefully consider what she had asked her to do.

“Don’t mention it. Because we are good cousins, I should give you a present. Besides, the Qin family is a rich family in the capital. I don’t care about one bag. There are many bags in my cabinet. And the ring on this engagement is worth millions of yuan, which is only a drop in the bucket for the Qin family.”

Ji Ruoyun often heard that her cousin and her mother mentioned how powerful and rich the Qin family was, but she still did not understand how rich the Qin family was. But after hearing what Ji Xuewei said, Ji Ruoyun had a new understanding of the Qin family’s wealth.

She was not smart, but it was much easier to understand something once it was converted into money. Millions of yuan was absolutely an enormous figure to her. She would not make so much money in her life. And just one ring was so expensive.

Then Ji Xuewei said another thing that surprised Ji Ruoyun, “The Qin family are all like this. Your elder sister Ji Xiaoli’s man is also from the Qin family. He is also very generous. He once visited Ji Xiaoli’s home. In general, the son-in-law buys some tonics for his parents-in-law when visiting, but he directly gave a bank card with a value of 500,000 yuan. It’s still one time. I don’t know if there will be any in the future.”

Ji Ruoyun was shocked. She still remembered that when there was a holiday, the gifts her father gave to her grandparents would never exceed 200 yuan. So when she heard of 500,000 yuan, she was absolutely surprised.

Considering of these, she was more and more curious about Ji Xiaoli’s ‘lightning marriage’ partner, especially to see what kind of person he was, ‘Any woman will like such a rich and generous man, I just don’t know whether he looks good or not.’

However, she was afraid that her idea would be seen through by her cousin, so she hurriedly restrained her expression. Because Ji Xuewei deliberately led Ji Ruoyun into the trap, she could understand Ji Ruoyun’s idea, and could not help sniggering.

“Cousin, my brother-in-law who I haven’t met before is also from the Qin family. What’s his occupation?”

“He is a senior military officer.”

“An military officer?” Ji Ruoyun felt attracted again, but she only bit her teeth and didn’t show her excitement. She just smiled, “It sounds awesome. It’s just that I don’t know him. Is it really appropriate to let him introduce me to someone?”

Ji Xuewei smiled disapprovingly, “We are cousins, even if you haven’t met each other, but if you ask him to introduce some men, he will definitely agree with it. And you’re so young and beautiful, no man doesn’t like you.”

This hint was absolutely obvious enough. She didn’t believe that Ji Ruoyun would not have a wild thought in her head. As expected, Ji Ruoyun didn’t speak, but her cheeks were red, obviously lost in the imagination.

“And when shall we go?” The little girl couldn’t wait any longer. She could not wait to meet her cousin-in-law who she had never met before. As for asking this Mr. Qin to introduce a man for her was not her main purpose.

Although Ji Xuewei despised Ji Ruoyun in her heart, she said happily, “Don’t worry. It’s over ten now. My mother is preparing lunch in the kitchen. I’ll wait until we’ve had it.”

It seemed that Ji Xuewei didn’t do anything intentionally, as if everything was Ji Ruoyun’s delusion. Even if anything happened in the future, it had nothing to do with Ji Xuewei.

“What? Situ Liuli the bitch, beat you up?”

Ji Xiaoli shook her head when she saw her friend’s impatience and said with a smile, “I just got a few lashes, but she also paid a heavy price.”

After Qi Xiaoguang heard it, he was lost in thoughts and finally sighed, “Your husband Qin Zhenyang is a tough man. And with that kick, I felt that he had the daring and resolution. It’s normal for men to pity women. But Situ Liuli is a typical stupid girl. She deserves to be kicked.”

“Well, later she was asked by Wei Lin to do some coolie, and she shouldn’t come out and continue to provoke me in this period.”

Qi Xiaoguang chuckled, “His means are too cruel. Situ Liuli did this. Situ Guang was also an accomplice. I’m afraid Qin Zhenyang won’t easily spare Hongguang Real Estate.”

Ji Xiaoli was not clear about this.

However, without her knowledge, Hongguang Real Estate was really in a bad situation. First the company’s stock price fell, and then the company’s capital turnover was impacted. Hongguang Real Estate didn’t have this problem before, but in these two days, Hongguang Real Estate seemed to face the risk of bankruptcy.

However, Hongguang Real Estate had nothing to do with her. What she was thinking about now was her studio and her future clothing franchise.

It was a long way to go.

“What are you thinking? It’s hard to find a man like your husband Qin Zhenyang. You should cherish him and don’t let others steal him away.” Qi Xiaoguang said jokingly.

Although it was a joke, it made a point. There were not many good men available for single girls these years. Therefore, men like Qin Zhenyang were many girls Prince Charming.

Ji Xiaoli didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem, and still thought about the decoration of her studio. She just casually replied, “If he is really stolen away, I will admit that my misfortune is predetermined, although I don’t think he is the kind of man who can be stolen away.”

Was the overbearing Qin Zhenyang really so easy to be stolen away? Ji Xiaoli knew clearly what Qin Zhenyang was like.

But others didn’t think so. There were always some people who kept thinking about Qin Zhenyang, who was coveted by other women all the time.
