After one night of indulgence, the abstinent tycoon kissed her every night with his hand on her hip.

Cafe.

Jiang Fenglin's face was ugly. He looked at Jiang Zhi, who left angrily, his eyes full of disgust.

His wife was right; Jiang Zhi was an ingrate. If she and Ling Jingyuan really ended up together, he would definitely face retribution later.

Only when his beloved youngest daughter is with the president of the Ling Group can he truly be Ling Jingyuan's father-in-law, and only then can the Jiang family truly climb the threshold of wealth.

Thinking of this, he felt an even stronger urge to push his youngest daughter into Ling Jingyuan's arms.

In his eyes, his youngest daughter, Jiang Shihhan, was better than Jiang Zhi in every way. Since Ling Jingyuan could take a liking to Jiang Zhi, he would definitely take a liking to his daughter, Shihhan, after seeing her.

As long as his beloved daughter Shihan marries into the Ling family by climbing up Ling Jingyuan's back, Jiang Fenglin's life will truly be prosperous for the rest of his days.

The phone rang, and Jiang Fenglin's cold expression vanished instantly. He answered the call with a smile, his tone becoming amiable, "Hello, Shihan."

"Dad, how did it go? Did Jiang Zhi agree?"

A somewhat arrogant voice came from the phone.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fenglin paused slightly and smiled faintly, "Shihan, don't worry, this matter is not up to her. Don't worry, Dad has a way to arrange for you to meet Ling Jingyuan. Then it's up to you."

Jiang Shihhan, on the other end of the phone, was clearly delighted to hear this. It was Ling Jingyuan!

He is the perfect man in the hearts of all the women in Beijing. If she could actually win him over, she would be incredibly lucky.

But now, this man, who was originally aloof and cold-hearted, has suddenly announced that he has a girlfriend and publicly admitted that she is Jiang Zhi, her most hated half-sister.

Heh, that defeated opponent of hers and her mother.

If she and her mother could beat her back then, they can do it now too.

Ling Jingyuan, she'll definitely snatch him away too!

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone became even sweeter, "Dad, I believe you."

Jiang Shihhan sweetly coaxed Jiang Fenglin a few more times, and Jiang Fenglin was very satisfied.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Jiang Shihhan's face vanished instantly, and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Zhi, what makes her worthy of a man as outstanding as Ling Jingyuan!

She doesn't deserve it!

She wanted to take everything from Jiang Zhi!

Ms. Zhou was clearly delighted to hear Jiang Zhi's reply. "Little Jiang Zhi, wait for me, I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up right away."

Jiang Zhi felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, deeply touched by Zhou's mother's thoughtfulness.

Her tone softened unconsciously: "Auntie, no need to trouble yourself. Just give me an address and I'll go there myself."

Seeing that Jiang Zhi insisted, Ms. Zhou did not continue. She gave Jiang Zhi an address, which Jiang Zhi silently noted down. He chatted with Ms. Zhou's mother for a few more minutes before hanging up.

She got up and went back to her bedroom. After thinking about it, she tidied herself up, changed her clothes, and put on some light makeup.

She still needed to show the respect and importance she should show to her elders. Although she didn't know what the future held for her and Ling Jingyuan, she still needed to be polite in the moment.

She went to the low cabinet, opened the drawer, took out the box containing the antique jade bracelet, put it in her bag, grabbed her car keys and phone, and went straight out the door.

Once in the car, she took out her phone, searched for the address Zhou's mother had given her, set the navigation, and started the car.

Half an hour later, just after she arrived at the location and parked her car, Ms. Zhou called again.

"Little Jiang Zhi, where are you?"

Jiang Zhi felt a little uncomfortable with Ms. Zhou's affectionate and warm address, because she couldn't remember anyone calling her that for a long time.

Only her maternal grandparents used to call her that. Jiang Zhi felt that the name was both familiar and unfamiliar, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"Auntie, I've just arrived and parked my car. Where are you now? I'll come find you."

Ms. Zhou's voice visibly pleased upon hearing this, "Xiao Jiang, did you drive here yourself? How did you get here so fast? That's amazing!"

Jiang Zhi was a little embarrassed by Ms. Zhou's sudden praise; she blushed and felt somewhat at a loss.

"Auntie, I drove myself, and I'd like to come find you there."

Ms. Zhou: "Okay, I'm in the coffee shop on the first floor. Take your time, there's no rush."

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this, hung up the phone, and quickly got on the elevator.

First floor, coffee shop.

Ms. Zhou was leisurely drinking coffee. She had been planning to go shopping and have a meal with her daughter-in-law, Jiang Zhi, recently.

But her son kept disagreeing, saying that she couldn't scare the young girl away right away, and that she wasn't ready for her to call him her daughter-in-law.

There was nothing she could do; she had to endure it all for the sake of her sweet and gentle daughter-in-law.

You can't call her daughter-in-law, but calling her Xiao Jiangzhi is fine, right?

Today, for some reason, her son suddenly changed his mind and called her, asking her to invite Xiao Jiangzhi out shopping, which suited her just fine.

As soon as she hung up Ling Jingyuan's call, she immediately called her future daughter-in-law, Jiang Zhi.

Thinking about meeting the little girl later, she smiled like an aunt.

Do you understand that feeling of looking at a sweet, soft, beautiful, and adorable daughter-in-law?

The more I look at it, the more I like it.

She won't just gain another daughter-in-law; once Jiang Zhi marries into the Jiang family, she'll gain another daughter, another friend, and another best friend.

Not to mention that her future daughter-in-law will give her a sweet, soft, and beautiful baby who will softly call her grandma. Just thinking about it makes her incredibly happy.

Jiang Zhi let out a soft breath in the elevator, adjusting her breathing to try and relax.

After exiting the elevator, Jiang Zhi quickly found the coffee shop where Ms. Zhou was.

Ms. Zhou's eyes lit up the moment she saw Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi came to Ms. Zhou's side and politely called her "Auntie." Ms. Zhou smiled and pulled her to sit down.

"Little Jiang Zhi, did I disturb your rest?" Ms. Zhou asked Jiang Zhi with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi gently shook her head, her expression softening. "Auntie, no."

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he reached for the box in his bag. Seeing this, Ms. Zhou suddenly stood up and pulled Jiang Zhi away.

"Oh dear, come on, Xiao Jiang, let's go shopping together. There are only men in my family, no one goes shopping with me. Come on, Auntie's going to shop to her heart's content today."

Before Jiang Zhi could react, he pulled her out of the coffee shop.

In the following period, Ms. Zhou gave Jiang Zhi no time to catch her breath.

Women can be quite formidable when they go shopping; Ms. Zhou didn't stop for an entire afternoon. She dragged Jiang Zhi around for the whole afternoon, but almost all the clothes she bought were for Jiang Zhi.

No matter how much Jiang Zhi refused, Ms. Zhou just listened without doing anything and continued to buy her things with a smile.

She was very happy; it felt like playing house.

Can you understand the feeling of suddenly having a daughter when you don't have one and wanting to buy her beautiful clothes and jewelry and dress her up like a beautiful princess?

That sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is exactly what Ms. Zhou feels now.

She just couldn't stop buying!

Finally, Ms. Zhou got tired of shopping and took Jiang Zhi to a high-end restaurant.

As soon as the two sat down, Ms. Zhou took out a black card with a serious expression, placed it on the table, and looked at Jiang Zhi.
