Zhou Shijin's actions left Ji Yutang dumbfounded.

She is not someone of Emperor Ruyan's caliber.

Naturally, she wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that the other person wanted to be her adopted younger brother because they couldn't have her.

She never expected that Zhou Shijin's thought process would be so peculiar.

It felt like this: two people were chatting, and he suddenly said he had to leave, then took out his phone and scanned a QR code to rent a shared bike.

Instead, he picked up his bicycle, turned around, and ran off without looking back...

As for Ji Wuchang, as the champion of the previous generation of heirs of the Ji family, he was naturally no ordinary person.

He could tell at a glance that Zhou Shijin was doing this simply to bind the two families together.

However, he didn't mind at all.

Just moments ago, Ji Wuchang was lamenting the loss of such a good son-in-law, but unexpectedly, he gained a wonderful son.

This surprise came too fast, like a tornado.

Without thinking twice, he stood up excitedly and hurriedly helped Zhou Shijin up.

"Good, good, good son, get up quickly!"

From this day forward, you are my son, Ji Wuchang's son, hahahahahaha...

Zhou Shijin, who had prepared a lot of explanations, was suddenly dumbfounded.

Goodness, are people so hasty in adopting sons these days?

Most importantly, this is a wealthy and powerful family. If they casually agree to a marriage alliance, it will involve a lot of interests.

But the next moment, Ji Wuchang's words shocked him even more.

"Son, I can't let you call me 'Dad' for nothing."

"I'm going to give you 20% of the Ji Group's shares as a gift to mark our kinship."

"What?" Even the icy beauty Ji Yutang lost her composure for a moment.

Ji Wuchang noticed that Zhou Shijin was not speaking and assumed that the other party was dissatisfied with the small number of shares.

He hurriedly explained, "Son, don't think your godfather is biased."

Our Ji family does not hold absolute control; my unfilial son only owns 20% of the shares.

Although Yu Tang is in charge of the group, she only has 21% of it.

All I have left are 29% of the shares; that's all I can give you.

After all, I still need to save some money for my retirement, right?

If someone else had said those words, Zhou Shijin would have thought they were out of their mind or had ulterior motives.

However, coming from Ji Wuchang, it was definitely not a lie.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Someone who is called an old-fashioned person by everyone naturally values ​​promises more than anything else.

However, Zhou Shijin didn't care about money.

This might sound like boasting, but it's really true.

With his adoptive father's assets alone, he could never spend all of them in his lifetime, not to mention the Zhou family's vast business empire.

Once money reaches a certain point, it's really just a string of numbers, completely useless.

Because—he really can't spend all the money!

"Godfather, this is too precious, I can't accept it." Zhou Shijin hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

Little did he know that the more decisively he refused, the more satisfied Ji Wuchang became with this godson.

"No, your father always keeps his word. There's no reason for me to take back what I've said."

That's settled then. I'll have my lawyer draft the share transfer agreement and send it to you later.

Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.

As he spoke, he turned to look at his daughter.

"Yutang, we've already annulled your engagement, why don't you come and meet your brother?"

Ji Yutang glanced at Zhou Shijin with a complicated expression, and uttered two words stiffly: "Brother, brother."

Zhou Shijin smiled nonchalantly and said, "Hello, sister. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future."

Ji Yutang did not answer, but forced an ugly smile onto his face.

For some reason, the original engagement felt like a mountain weighing on her heart.

But when the engagement was actually called off, she didn't feel the joy she had expected.

Instead, I felt somewhat lost and had a vague, indescribable feeling.

"Shi Jin, now that I've accepted you as my son, you're considered a member of the Ji family."

What are your plans for the future? Do you want to work for the Ji Group?

Zhou Shijin was startled by the other person's words, and he shook his head vigorously.

"Oh my godfather, please spare me!"

My biggest dream is to live a life of luxury with my older brother; he makes money, and I squander it.

Now you're making me go to work? Isn't that just setting me up for a fool?

Zhou Shijin's absurd words clearly startled Ji Wuchang.

If it were his own unfilial son saying that, he would definitely punish him according to family rules.

However, coming from his godson, these words made him seem farsighted and insightful.

"Hahaha, good, as expected of my son Ji Wuchang, you have ambition."

I must say, you're quite the wise man who pretends to be foolish.

Even I can't see through Zhou Shi'an, that young man. If you manage your relationship with him well, you will definitely benefit greatly in the future.

Seeing that the other party was genuinely concerned for him and spoke from the heart, Zhou Shijin was slightly moved.

In that instant, he completely relaxed.

"Yeah, Godfather, let me tell you, my older brother and I are as close as brothers."

When I was pursuing Sister Tangtang, I relied entirely on his expert advice!

"Oh?" Ji Wuchang immediately became interested: "Why don't you tell me more?"

"Godfather, let me tell you something..."

As Zhou Shijin spoke, he put his arm around the other person's shoulder.

Ji Wuchang not only didn't mind at all, but listened attentively, occasionally interjecting with a comment.

Especially his usually serious and rigid face, which now carried a slight smile.

Looking at the scene before him, Ji Yutang blinked in bewilderment, feeling a sense of disorientation about who he was and where he was.

She felt that in that instant, her worldview collapsed.

Although the father favored Ji Jiahao, if that younger brother dared to be so unruly, he would have been slapped across the face long ago.

But now, he has broken his long-held principles for the sake of a godson.

What kind of magic does Zhou Shijin possess?

It seems that his presence always brings joy to others without them even realizing it.

"Dad, I'm home. What's for lunch today?"

Just then, a young man who looked somewhat similar to Ji Yutang and was dressed in motorcycle gear walked into the living room in a sleazy manner.

The visitor was Ji Wuchang's youngest son, Ji Jiahao.

However, when he saw his father with his arm around a young man, his eyes widened in surprise.

What's going on? In all these years, my dad has never shown me such a kind and gentle expression.

Could it be that my father's illegitimate son has come to my door to fight for the family fortune?

Upon realizing this, Ji Jiahao's expression immediately changed.

He stared at Zhou Shijin warily, his tone unfriendly as he asked, "Who are you?"
