FV: Chapter 195

Lin Luoqing couldn’t help smiling when he heard this. He felt that Lin Fei was really like a little adult.

“Yes, Fei Fei is amazing.”

But…

After worrying about Ji Leyu’s emotions, Lin Luoqing started to worry about whether Ji Leyu would do something to Fang Xin.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Ji Leyu, but with Ji Leyu’s personality, how could he indifferently let Fang Xin stay in front of him?

He had always been able to wait. In the book, to get revenge for the original owner’s insult toward Ji Yuxiao, Ji Leyu could find him after ten years and make him pay for it.

Let alone Fang Xin, the son of the murderer who killed his parents.

Then he quickly got rid of this idea. Ji Leyu might get revenge and be extremely vindictive, but he only targeted the person who had hurt him. He didn’t involve anyone else.

So in the novel, he knew that Lin Fei was Lin Luoqing’s nephew but he had no intersection with Lin Fei.

From this perspective, he wouldn’t hurt Fang Xin at all.

Still, Lin Luoqing didn’t dare gamble on this matter. He could only say to Lin Fei, “Then you have to stay by his side more and watch him. Don’t let him go near that Fang Xin.”

“Yes,” Lin Fei replied.

“Xiao Yu didn’t do anything, did he?” Lin Luoqing asked with worry.

Lin Fei shook his head. “He is very well-behaved.”

“Really?”

It was unscientific.

“Yes,” Lin Fei nodded and said sincerely.

He really thought that Ji Leyu was very good this time.

He didn’t push Fang Xin down the stairs or into the water. Even if he was angry, Lin Fei stopped it and Ji Leyu didn’t do anything else.

As for fighting with Ma Shuai, it was common for children to fight and this was normal.

Lin Luoqing sighed with relief. Then he felt more and more distressed for Ji Leyu.

If he did something then he could vent his emotions. If he didn’t do anything, it would accumulate in his heart and he would feel uncomfortable.

“Spend more time with him in the next few days,” he told Lin Fei. “I’m not at home and I can’t coax him. He must be very uncomfortable and he won’t tell your father. You can only accompany him more.”

“I know,” Lin Fei replied.

“Okay, I will arrange Fang Xin’s side and make sure to transfer him to another school, so that Xiao Yu doesn’t see him in the future.”

“Yes.”

Lin Luoqing smiled. “Once I finish filming these days, I will ask the director for leave and strive to come back to see you.”

Lin Fei was puzzled. “Is this okay?”’

“Yes, just like you can ask for leave from school, I can also ask for leave from work when encountering something. Then I can come back and accompany you and Xiao Yu so that he isn’t so uncomfortable.”

“Okay.” Lin Fei agreed. He knew that Ji Leyu would be very happy if Lin Luoqing came back.

Lin Luoqing kissed him through the screen and hung up. The moment the video cut off, the smile on his face disappeared.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu definitely hadn’t told Ji Yuxiao about this, or Lin Fei wouldn’t have made a special WeChat call to him specifically to ask him to find a way to help Fang Xin transfer schools.

The two children of their family had far more complex and delicate minds than ordinary children, but they were also more sensible and obedient than ordinary children.

Ji Leyu probably didn’t want to tell Ji Yuxiao out of fear Ji Yuxiao would be worried about him. Lin Fei promised him and he naturally wouldn’t tell Ji Yuxiao.

However, this matter was caused by Ji Mu and the goal when doing this type of thing was to hurt Ji Yuxiao.

Then Ji Yuxiao had to be informed. Otherwise, what if something happened while he was unaware?

The one year period was getting closer and closer. Ji Yuxiao had no physical problems now. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was accidents.

Lin Luoqing thought about it and immediately made a video call to Ji Yuxiao.

Ji Yuxiao thought Lin Luoqing missed him and was about to start teasing him when answering. Then he saw Lin Luoqing’s serious face.

Ji Yuxiao sensitively asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen during filming?”

Lin Luoqing shook his head. He wouldn’t be so angry and worried if something happened during filming.

What he was worried about was Ji Yuxiao, not Ji Leyu. However, he couldn’t explain Ji Yuxiao’s matters clearly so he could only talk about Ji Leyu.

“I have something to tell you. Don’t be too angry and calm down a bit.”

Ji Yuxiao was curious. “What is it?”

“It is about Xiao Yu.”

“What happened to Xiao Yu?” Ji Yuxiao immediately sat up straight.

Lin Luoqing saw the concern in his eyes. He organized the words in his mouth for a long time before finally saying reluctantly, “Xiao Yu met Fang Xin at school, the child of the driver who killed your brother and sister-in-law. He is in the second year.”

The expression on Ji Yuxiao’s face changed instantly. Someone did it on purpose.

He naturally knew about Fang Xin’s existence. Not only did he know, but he also knew that Fang Xin wasn’t at this school. It was another school where the tuition was very cheap.

Now he appeared here and was in the same school as Ji Leyu. If this wasn’t deliberately letting him enter Ji Leyu’s eyes, what else could it be?

“It is Ji Mu,” Lin Luoqing said. “Fei Fei told him that it was Ji Mu who called to tell Xiao Yu. It was only then that Xiao Yu found out about the existence of this person.”

Ji Yuxiao heard this and the expression on his face darkened.

He had thought it was Tan Jiaji’s temptation. After all, Ji Leyu met Fang Xin the moment Tan Jiaji returned. It looked like Tan Jiaji’s temptation and provocation.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Ji Mu.

Then he soon figured out the reason. His father was determined to support his illegitimate son to grab a higher position. He had already made Tan Jiaji the deputy general manager. Ji Mu was sitting in the general manager position and would have a sense of crisis.

Naturally, he wished to have more bargaining chips and shares.

At this time, if Ji Leyu was separated by him then he could use the banner of Ji Leyu to claim the shares left by Ji Yuxiao’s brother. He could use Ji Leyu as a trade to make Ji Yuxiao hand over the shares left by his brother.

It was a good idea. Unfortunately, he should’ve never touched Ji Leyu.

Ji Yuxiao felt very strange. Did he not say it clearly enough?

Or was it that he hadn’t seen Ji Mu in so long that Ji Mu forgot what type of personality he had?

In that case, he would help restore Ji Mu’s memory.

Otherwise, wouldn’t these actions be in vain?

“I got it,” he said in a calm tone.

Lin Luoqing saw him like this and became even more worried. “Don’t be impulsive. The reason why Xiao Yu didn’t tell you about this is because he was afraid you would be uncomfortable. Don’t be too angry. It is okay to get revenge on Ji Mu but don’t be too angry because of Ji Mu.”

“Don’t worry.” Ji Yuxiao laughed. “I have a sense of proportion.”

“Really?”

“I haven’t avenged my brother and sister-in-law yet. I need to have a sense of proportion.” Ji Yuxiao gave him a reason strong enough to reassure him.

Lin Luoqing heard this and was indeed relieved.

He remembered that he previously speculated that Ji Yuxiao should’ve died after avenging his brother and sister-in-law. Then nothing should happen here with Ji Mu.

“That’s good,” Lin Luoqing said softly.

He had been really worried that Ji Yuxiao would do something unwise.

After all, Ji Leyu was too important to Ji Yuxiao.

This was his brother’s only child, his only blood left.

Ji Yuxiao would rather die than allow Ji Leyu to be harmed.

However, Ji Mu was about to step on this mine. Lin Luoqing was really worried that Ji Yuxiao would be impulsive while making sure that Ji Mu would never try to act smartly again.

“Once I’m done with my work in a few days, I will ask for leave to go home and accompany you,” Lin Luoqing said.

“No need,” Ji Yuxiao told him with a smile. “Film well and don’t worry about me. I’ll go and see you when I’m less busy after a while.”

He didn’t want Lin Luoqing to come back so early and he didn’t want Lin Luoqing to see his cruel side.

“Don’t worry, I’ll visit you soon.”

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing could only agree first.

However, he still planned to wait for the next transfer of the filming location while the crew hadn’t settled down to go home for a few days.

He was worried about the cause of Ji Yuxiao’s death and also worried about Ji Leyu’s mood. He had to go back so he could see them with his own eyes and spend a few days with them before he could feel at ease.

“Oh, that’s right.” He reminded Ji Yuxiao, “Don’t forget to let Fang Xin transfer. Xiao Yu doesn’t want to transfer so we can only let him transfer.”

“Yes,” Ji Yuxiao replied.

Of course, he would let Fang Xin transfer schools. In this life, Fang Xin would never appear in front of Ji Leyu again.

He leaned back against his chair and maintained his gentleness until he ended the video call with Lin Luoqing. Then he allowed the gloom to enter his eyes.

Ji Yuxiao picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Ji Mu. [Come to my house tomorrow morning.]

Ji Mu saw the message on his phone and frowned in surprise. What did he mean by this? Did he know?

Did Ji Leyu quarrel with him?

So he knew that Fang Xin had appeared at their school?

He hurriedly called Ji Leyu, but Ji Leyu didn’t answer.

He hung up the phone and saw Ji Yuxiao’s second WeChat message. [8 o’clock in the morning. Don’t be late. It is about your general manager’s position.]

Ji Mu saw the second half of the sentence and sent a message asking him: [What happened?]

[Let’s talk about it tomorrow.]

Ji Yuxiao put down his phone and stared at the night outside the window. The night was thick as if hiding layers of filth.

Ji Yuxiao took out the small knife his brother had given him from the drawer and wiped it silently.

The light of the knife was sharp and the blade was cold. In the shrouded night, the light of the blade was like the moonlight.

This was a knife that had never seen blood.

Ji Leyu watched Ji Mu call him again. He was about to answer but Lin Fei took the phone away.

Lin Fei didn’t answer. After the call ended, he pulled Ji Mu into the blacklist.

“Ignore him in the future,” he told Ji Leyu.

“But he will tell me something about your uncle,” Ji Leyu explained.

“There is no need to answer his calls. If something happens, he will come to you in person. There is no need to call.”

Ji Leyu pouted.

Lin Fei put the phone by his side. “Continue to do your homework. Be good.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Ji Leyu said ‘Oh’ reluctantly and lowered his head to do his homework.

Ji Mu called again and could only hear a familiar female voice saying over and over again, “I’m sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy…”

He called two more times doubtfully. Then he guessed that Ji Leyu should’ve blacklisted him.

How could a child blacklist others? It was most probably done by Ji Yuxiao.

He must know what Ji Mu had done and wanted to cut off his connection with Ji Leyu.

Perhaps Ji Leyu told him while arguing that Ji Mu had come to him. This was why Ji Yuxiao blocked him so that he couldn’t call Ji Leyu.

Ji Mu raised his hand and tapped the coffee table in front of him. It seemed that there would be trouble tomorrow morning.

‘Still, it doesn’t matter,’ Ji Mu thought. Ji Leyu just had to be separated from Ji Yuxiao and favor him and he would have the capital to negotiate with Ji Yuxiao.

He never cared about Ji Leyu. All he wanted was the shares left by Ji Yuling.

They could each take what they wanted and get what they wanted.

He was thinking about his wording after meeting Ji Yuxiao tomorrow morning, pondering on it and polishing it over and over again. Even a second before entering Ji Yuxiao’s villa, he was still thinking about how to increase his bargaining chips.

Aunt Zhang opened the door for him and told him that Ji Yuxiao was in the living room on the first floor.

This was a place Ji Mu had never been to before. He followed Aunt Zhang over, knocked on the door and walked in after hearing Ji Yuxiao’s response.

This living room wasn’t very big. There was a coffee table and sofa in it and it looked very relaxed.

A large area of sunlight shone in through the beautifully designed glass window, shining on Ji Yuxiao who was sitting on the balcony. He looked elegant and lazy, like a big cat basking in the sun.

Ji Mu noticed that he was wearing a dressing gown today. It was inky black with phoenix-like birds embroidered with gold thread. It was very gorgeous.

His hands were on his legs. They were very white as if they had no temperature. They were inexplicably reminiscent of gloomy white bones.

Ji Yuxiao smiled slightly after seeing him come in. “You are here.”

He glanced at his watch. “You aren’t late.”

Ji Mu approached him and asked him, “Didn’t you want to meet me? What did you want to say?”

Ji Yuxiao tilted his head and seemed to move his neck.

He sat up straight, stared at the person in front of him and said softly, “You are too tall. Bend down lower. I don’t want to bother with this.”

Ji Mu was forced to get closer to him. He bent down, ready to listen to what this person wanted to say.

He had just bent down when he felt something flash by. The next second, he felt severe pain radiating from his neck and even his shoulder. The pain caused him to scream and press against his neck.

He saw the knife in Ji Yuxiao’s hand.

It was cold and silvery as it shone in the sun. The blade was fierce and bright red blood flowed down the blade to the tip of the knife, slowly falling like red agate.

Ji Mu pressed against his neck. It was painful, cold and sticky.

He was in severe pain and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Blood ran down his fingers to his body, dripping downwards.

Ji Mu looked at his hand. It was bright red, dazzling and eye-catching.

He never expected that the opening scene between them would be like this, just as he never expected Ji Yuxiao to swing a knife at him.

“Do you want to… kill me?” He asked in disbelief and horror.

His voice trembled involuntarily as if he was about to rush out the door in the next second.

Ji Yuxiao looked up at him. There was no emotion in his eyes and they seemed to be poisoned with coldness.

“I said it before. You can fight as you like for power and profit, but don’t touch my family.”

“Why didn’t you listen to me?”

Ji Yuxiao wondered, “Ji Mu, do you like to find death so much? If you want to die so much, I don’t mind fulfilling your wish. In any case, it isn’t interesting for me to live in such a sickly manner. We should die together. I’ll kill you and then pay with my life. You see, isn’t this outcome good?”
