Chapter 199 Zi Zi
Yu Baisu tried to deal with her, but in the end, he only suffered the consequences.
Yunzhi then enjoyed a hard-won moment of peace.
She also received a lot of business cards, but unlike Zheng Ming, these people were obviously very tactful. Before the banquet even started, Yunzhi already had a stack of business cards that were an inch thick.
She achieved her goal for the day; as for the rest, she could leave it to her brother, whom she hadn't even met yet.
At that moment, someone suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and smiled, "It must be Zhizhi missing me. I'm going to give her a big surprise today."
When the banquet began, Yunzhi met Old Master Ji. Although Old Master Ji was eighty years old, he looked very energetic, with bright and piercing eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Yunzhi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Grandpa Ji's gaze lingered in their direction for a moment. She looked around but didn't see anyone who needed Grandpa Ji's attention.
Yunzhi didn't take it to heart.
The old man was eighty years old after all. Although he still looked energetic, he soon became physically exhausted. After finishing his speech, he was helped upstairs.
To her surprise, the first dance at the banquet was not the standard opening ballroom dance, but rather a lively tango.
Yunzhi was amused; it seemed the atmosphere in the Ji family was indeed quite pleasant.
No wonder Mr. Ji set his sights on the entertainment industry more than sixty years ago, and despite the incomprehension of many, he developed his current agency into the number one agency in China.
Mr. Ji has a bit of a sense of humor at heart.
Compared to Grandpa Ji, Old Master Cheng is the other extreme—rigid and unwilling to admit mistakes. It's truly infuriating to compare people like that.
Yunzhi shook her head inwardly, clearing her mind of those chaotic thoughts. She noticed that many people's emotions had been stirred up, but due to their status, they weren't too excited. However, a large number of people had already gathered in the center of the stage.
The atmosphere at the scene was like celebrating the Chinese New Year.
Yunzhi glanced at the time, stretched slightly, and prepared to leave. It was a lively time, and she thought no one would notice if she left quietly.
She had located the doorway and was about to calmly stand up and leave when a female voice suddenly called her name, "Miss Yun."
Yunzhi paused in her tracks as she was about to sneak away, then turned around and saw two unfamiliar faces.
The person who called out to her was a woman in her late twenties. She was wearing a black cheongsam with gold thread trim, and the form-fitting cheongsam accentuated her curves.
She had a face of unparalleled beauty, her black hair was half-tied up with a hairpin of excellent quality, and her loose black hair fell to her chest. Every frown and smile was very pleasant to behold.
A middle-aged woman was standing next to the young woman.
The middle-aged woman was also dressed in a rich purple cheongsam. She had a plump and beautiful face and looked very lucky. She wore a pair of imperial green jade bracelets on her wrists, and her hair was permed into small curls and draped over her shoulders, making her look very noble.
The two are likely mother and daughter.
"Excuse me, may I ask who you two are?" Yunzhi didn't sense any malice from them and looked at them with a smile.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ji Ziyang, and this is my mother." Ji Ziyang said, winking playfully at Yunzhi.
"Miss Yun, the atmosphere here is so good, why don't you find a male partner to dance with? My third brother is free, why don't you have him accompany you?"
Ji Ziyang is very outgoing; if her mother hadn't been there, she probably would have already reached out and taken Yunzhi's arm.
Yunzhi hadn't expected that the eldest daughter of the Ji family, who looked so gentle and dignified, would have such a quirky personality. She was momentarily caught off guard and didn't keep up with her pace. When she came to her senses, she saw that the eldest daughter of the Ji family was really about to go and call Ji Chen, so Yunzhi quickly stopped her.
"No need, Miss Ji, I don't really feel like dancing today." She even wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
Ji Ziyang was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.
"That's it, forget it."
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, we let it go.
Madam Ji, who was standing to the side, patted Ji Ziyang's arm in an annoyed tone, "Tone it down, you've scared Miss Yun."
Ji Ziyang touched her nose sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Miss Yun."
Yunzhi knew Ji Ziyang's good intentions and even vaguely understood the Ji family's thoughts, so she waved her hand.
"It's nothing. Actually, I don't really like dancing at parties abroad. To be honest, I rarely attend formal banquets like this. Usually, my older brother attends. I was just forced into this. But my brother will be back in a while, and then I'll be able to relax a bit."
Yunzhi appeared to be explaining to Ji Ziyang, but in reality, she was telling the two of them that her brother would be back soon, so they didn't need to waste time with her and could talk to him directly if anything came up.
Besides, she's a useless little thing at home; she can't make any decisions, so there's no need to mess with her.
Ji Ziyang's smile deepened. She looked Yunzhi up and down and felt that Miss Yun was more to her liking.
Madam Li nodded inwardly. This girl was clearly very intelligent; her eyes darted around quickly, and her reactions were extremely fast. She was nothing like what her friend had described.
As for being promiscuous, isn't it normal for an outstanding girl to have several suitors?
Yunzhi is top-notch in terms of family background, looks, and intelligence, so it's normal for her to try out several more.
I wonder who this smart little girl will end up with.
She couldn't help but sigh when she thought of her own children.
Madam Ji took Yunzhi's hand and patted it affectionately, like a family member.
"Auntie felt an instant connection with you the moment she saw you. Please come visit us more often when you have the chance. You've just returned to China, so you probably don't have many friends yet. I'll have Zizi show you around and let her introduce you to some new friends."
The distance between the three people was shortened because of this small gesture.
Is Madam Ji really that approachable?
"Okay, Zhizhi, may I call you that? I'll introduce you to some good friends later." She emphasized the word "okay," her smile carrying a deeper meaning.
Madam Ji's expression froze, and she glared at her daughter, seemingly warning her not to do anything reckless.
Ji Ziyang blinked, pretending to be confused, and didn't say anything.
Madam Ji had to entertain guests and couldn't stay long, so she quickly said goodbye to Yunzhi, leaving Ji Ziyang behind to keep her company.
"Zhizhi, how do you take care of your skin? It's so smooth and delicate, do you have any secrets?"
"Zhizhi, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Zhizhi..."
Yunzhi looked at the sky speechlessly. She didn't understand how things had turned out this way when she had clearly planned to sneak away.
Moreover, she and Ji Ziyang somehow became good friends who could call each other by their nicknames.
