Chapter 31 Siblings Bickering
"What do you want me to help you with? Winning back your man's heart or getting you a marriage certificate? That's your own business, how can I help you with that?"

Ji Sisi lifted her eyelids, raised her eyebrows slightly, her beautiful eyes showing no emotion, and spoke in a casual tone with a hint of teasing.

If it weren't for keeping Guo Xiaolan around to deal with Ji Nian, Ji Sisi was certain that Guo Xiaolan's fate would be no different from Wang Cuicui's.

But it's impossible to get her to help Guo Xiaolan.

Guo Xiaolan opened her mouth, unsure of what to say, and finally gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Ji Sisi is right. What can she do to help? If she can't win Fang Shiming's heart, it's all in vain.

But if Fang Shiming didn't like her, why would he have agreed to get engaged to her in the first place, and why would he have agreed to let her come to Gansu Province to register their marriage?
Where exactly did things go wrong? Guo Xiaolan was completely baffled.

Lin Miao returned carrying a bunch of medicines. When she saw that Guo Xiaolan had woken up, she gave her a few instructions and then prepared to take Ji Sisi to the cafeteria for lunch.

Guo Xiaolan got out of bed and watched the two figures leave, the words of Ji Sisi's rejection still echoing in her mind.

Yes, it's her own business, and the initiative is in her hands! Since Fang Shiming didn't submit it voluntarily, she'll force him to submit it.

She definitely wouldn't give up on Fang Shiming easily; he was hers!
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Lin Miao secretly took out a wad of cash from his pocket and stuffed it into Ji Sisi's hand.

"This is what I just got from picking up something. Brother Zhang asked me to bring it to you. He told me to tell you that Uncle Gui said the ones you dug up were all of good quality, so he'll give you a price of 1.5 yuan per piece. You sold them for a total of 110 yuan. Count them when you get home later. Uncle Gui also said that you should supply him more next time."

Upon hearing Lin Miao's words, Ji Sisi touched the money in her pocket and was overjoyed.

She never expected it to sell for so much money. After all, things are valued for their rarity. She thought that since there was so much cordyceps now, it would definitely not be as valuable as it would be in later years, and it would probably only sell for around fifty or sixty yuan. But the result completely exceeded her expectations.

Seeing Ji Sisi's upturned lips, Lin Miao couldn't help but tease her, "Look at you, you little money-grubber."

"Money? Who wouldn't like it?"

Ji Sisi was secretly delighted. If she sold it one more time, she should be able to raise enough money to unlock the Marrow Cleansing Pill and say goodbye to heart disease for good.

Although she hasn't relapsed yet, who wouldn't want a healthy body? Besides, the system said that after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, her five senses would improve, and her body would be healthier than that of an ordinary person.

Just thinking about it made Ji Sisi incredibly excited.

After returning home from dinner, Ji Sisi counted the money and divided it according to the amount of cordyceps she and Shen Zichen had. Since she had less cordyceps than Shen Zichen, she decided that Shen Zichen would receive sixty and she would receive fifty.

After seeing Qi Yan off tomorrow, she will go to the grassland to give the money to Shen Zichen. It's not her own money, and it doesn't feel right to keep it.

"With so much money, it seems your cordyceps project is progressing very smoothly."

As soon as Qi Yan entered the room, he saw Ji Sisi staring intently at the two stacks of money on the coffee table. With a smile in his eyes, he sat down next to Ji Sisi and said, "Do you have time this afternoon? I took half a day off today and borrowed a car from the courtyard. I want to take you to the county town to buy some things for our wedding."

"I have time."

Ji Sisi was slightly taken aback. What did that mean? Was the money she had just received about to disappear?
It wasn't that she was unwilling to spend money on Qi Yan; it was that she had a very important use for her money, but she couldn't explain it to him.

Qi Yan suddenly smiled and explained, "Don't worry, I don't need your money. Your man has plenty of money."

When Qi Yan said those words, Ji Sisi's eyes lit up instantly. She looked at Qi Yan like a hungry wolf, and she really thought that what he just said was incredibly manly!

If you think about it another way, wouldn't it be easy for her to get money from Qi Yan and achieve her goal?
[System]: Host, what you're thinking won't be included in your savings account.
Ji Sisi quickly withdrew her smile, but after glancing at Qi Yan, she smiled again. Ji Sisi really liked Qi Yan's character design—handsome, rich, and with a great physique. The author had deliberately made him so perfect to highlight Ji Nian's tragic fate.

Standing at 1.85 meters tall, Qi Yan has maintained her figure despite sitting in an office and using her brain for many years. In fact, she is very strict about managing her physique. She also regards exercise as her only way to relieve stress. Whenever she encounters a bottleneck, she goes for a run to exercise, which has resulted in her having a great physique.

Ji Sisi leaned on Qi Yan's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh, "Having you is truly my blessing."

Even the usually calm and composed person was once again stirred up, their heart pounding like a deer.

Qi Yan didn't dare to move, sitting on the sofa and letting Ji Sisi lean against him, listening to her share the excitement she had seen that day to pass the time.

In the afternoon, Qi Yan and Ji Sisi waited at the door for Lin Peifeng to drive out.

The car was the same black car that picked her up last time. Since Qi Yan was too busy to learn to drive, Lin Peifeng had to drive them there.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of the two of them. The passenger window rolled down, and Lin Miao happily stuck her head out to greet them.

"Sisi, can I go with you?"

Ji Sisi smiled and nodded, replying, "Of course."

Along the way, Lin Miao chatted with Ji Sisi the whole time, with Lin Peifeng occasionally saying a few words.

Qi Yan looked at the extra person with a gloomy expression. Having one more third wheel was already enough to affect him and Sisi, but now there was Lin Miao who kept bothering Sisi, making it impossible for him to talk to her.

Qi Yan secretly resolved that once he returned from this mission, he would learn to drive so that no one could disturb his time alone with Sisi.

"I haven't been to the county town in ages, so I'll go buy a couple of outfits this time." Lin Miao sat in the passenger seat, looking extremely happy and chattering away.

"Sis, can you just shut up? You've been on the bus since you got here, and you say you're not tired, but I'm tired just listening to you."

Lin Peifeng couldn't resist provoking Lin Miao.

Lin Miao skillfully twisted Lin Peifeng's ear, her voice suddenly rising, "Lin Peifeng, I think you're asking for a beating, huh? You dare complain about your sister talking too much?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Sister, dear sister, please let me go! I'm driving!" Lin Peifeng cried out in pain and begged for mercy.

"What's wrong with driving? Do you think this is Kyoto? This is a huge grassland, I don't believe you could crash into something like this! Apologize to me right now!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape by playing the victim, Lin Peifeng had no choice but to obediently apologize.

"Sorry, okay?"

Lin Peifeng gripped the steering wheel with one hand, rubbing his ear to relieve the pain. "Sis, you've finally returned to your true nature. You used to pretend to be a lady in front of the boss for so long that I really thought you had reformed."

"Try saying that again? I'll kick you out of the car. Anyway, I can drive, and I'm not like I can't live without you." Lin Miao was unwilling to bring up the past and warned Lin Peifeng sternly.

She hadn't dared to talk to Qi Yan since she got on the bus, feeling awkward. But that damned Lin Peifeng had to bring up her past in front of Sisi.

If it weren't for the blood relation between siblings, she would have kicked him out of the car.

I made a mistake with the target amount before, I've now changed it to two thousand!
