After watching the would-be attacker being shoved into the police car and driven away, Ji Wenlin’s brows remained furrowed. He worried about his son’s recent streak of bad luck.
First a car accident—a murder attempt. Then framing and false accusations. Now this near assault.
Sigh.
Maybe he should consider having Ji Wenyan stay home for a while, until the murderer behind all this was caught, before sending him back to school…
“Mm, okay. But… Dad, come here. I need to tell you something.”
Ji Wenyan didn’t object to his father’s suggestion, but instead beckoned him over mysteriously.
His furtive manner looked like he was planning a bank robbery.
Curious, Ji Wenlin wondered what scheme his son was up to now.
Glancing around at the remaining police officers tidying up, Ji Wenlin said nothing more and quickly followed Ji Wenyan to a secluded corner.
“Dad, I want Bai Mengze to move in with us.”
“Move in…”
Once they were alone, Ji Wenyan bluntly stated his request.
Ji Wenlin’s face showed surprise. What was his son thinking?
A high school girl suddenly moving into the Ji household… the implications weren’t great.
“Dad, I’m sure you’ve already secretly investigated Bai Mengze’s situation. Now Liang Quan is using his family’s influence to go after her! As her friend, I can’t just stand by… I’ve thought it over, and having her stay with us is the best solution! Besides, she can tutor me, and we can improve together! Later, when your son wins first place in the national math competition, you can show off in your social circle! Let those old friends see…”
“Stop. I never said I disagreed. No need to worry so much.”
Ji Wenlin cut off his son’s rambling.
How did Wenyan change so much whenever Bai Mengze was mentioned?
Now he was even talking about studying hard…
“I won’t oppose this. But you need to get your mother’s approval—I can’t make that decision alone. Also, winning the national math competition is a pipe dream. If you can just pass your monthly exams, I’ll burn incense and pray to Buddha.”
“Dad, your ambitions are too low! Monthly exams are nothing! I’ll call Mom right now—she’ll agree in a minute!”
Hearing that his father wasn’t strongly opposed, Ji Wenyan couldn’t stop his brilliant smile from spreading. Seeing his son so excited, Ji Wenlin shook his head helplessly.
He used to worry that Wenyan was too slow on the uptake. Now that he’d finally woken up, his moves were alarmingly fast!
So soon, and he was already trying to bring a girl home.
It was only because Ji Wenyan had no ulterior motives—he genuinely wanted to help Bai Mengze through her difficulties—that Ji Wenlin agreed at all.
Of course, Gong Yingying’s earlier praise of Bai Mengze and her stellar performance in the campus beauty contest had also greatly improved Ji Wenlin’s impression of her.
“Okay, thanks, Mom! Bai Mengze is a very obedient and well-behaved girl. You’ll definitely like her! I’ll let you talk to her when we get home tonight… Yeah, I know, I won’t put any pressure on her, don’t worry! Busy now? I’ll hang up.”
As Ji Wenlin was marveling at how grown-up his son was acting, Ji Wenyan had already finished the phone call in record time, a smug grin on his face indicating it was settled.
No issues with Gong Yingying.
“Alright, stop showing off. Let’s hurry back. We don’t want anything else to happen—then we’d need a police escort 24/7.”
“Mm, I’ll go tell Bai Mengze, and we’ll head back together… Also, we need movers for Bai Mengze’s luggage. The police took our car, so are we walking home?”
“We’ll take our own car—it’s still parked by the supermarket. No need for movers. Leave Lawyer Gu here to pack her things and send them to our house.”
“That works.”
Having settled everything quickly, Ji Wenlin and his son wasted no time returning to the bungalow to make their own arrangements.
Watching his father go talk to Lawyer Gu, Ji Wenyan turned to see Bai Mengze looking nervous. He quickly briefed her on what had been decided.
“That simple?”
“My parents aren’t monsters. How hard could it be? Don’t worry, they’re good people. Relax.”
“That’s not what I meant. I just thought suddenly moving into someone’s house would cause a lot of trouble…”
“Trust me, my house is big, and there are hired cleaners, so my parents don’t have to do anything. They’re very busy… You might not even see them much!”
When Bai Mengze heard that Ji Wenlin had agreed, disbelief flickered in her eyes. She hadn’t expected it to be this easy to move into the Ji family.
But she hadn’t thought too deeply about it—she didn’t know that Ji Wenyan’s parents had already looked into her background thoroughly.
That was why there were no major obstacles.
And, of course, Ji Wenyan’s intercession helped…
“Come with us now. Someone will send your luggage to our house later.”
“Mm, I don’t have many valuables. Let me just take my parents’ photo frame.”
Saying this, Bai Mengze hugged the frame tightly, using it to quell her inner fear.
Even though Ji Wenyan had convinced her, moving into a stranger’s home was still a significant challenge for Bai Mengze.
Fortunately, Ji Wenyan would be there with her.
Otherwise, Bai Mengze felt she wouldn’t dare go to the Ji house at all.
“Haha, little girl, I brought enough men this time. You won’t get away!”
Just as the three of them were about to leave, a gang of thugs suddenly appeared. The leader, his face bruised and swollen, shouted loudly. He looked very familiar…
Ji Wenyan did a double take, then burst out laughing.
Wasn’t that the same dimwitted thug from earlier? Why had he shown up now?
And he’d brought four or five guys—so his earlier threat hadn’t been empty; he’d really gone to gather backup!
But seeing the police approaching, Ji Wenyan silently offered a moment of pity for the thugs.
You can’t blame society when luck’s against you.
