Join the ServerSuddenly hearing Ji Wenlin bring up Jidong Hotel, Ji Wenyan was also a bit stunned.
However, once he quickly came to his senses, he immediately understood what his father meant.
He was waiting for his stance.
“I won’t stand idly by regarding what Liang Quan did to Bai Mengze’s family.”
Then, when Ji Wenyan spoke again, although he didn’t mention Jidong Hotel, after bringing up Liang Quan, he had already made his attitude clear.
He absolutely would not let Liang Quan off easy!
“Don’t overthink it. Earlier, when I heard Bai Mengze specifically ask about Jidong Hotel, it made me curious. After I investigated privately, I found out that the Liang family wanted to acquire land there to open a shopping mall in U City.”
“Isn’t the Liang family in the hotel business? Why suddenly want to build a mall?”
“When business expands, you want a finger in every pie. I had heard rumors about the Liang family wanting to build a mall, but I was always waiting and watching… Since you’ve decided to oppose them, your father won’t be a coward! Not to mention anything else, just in U City, the Liang family won’t get in.”
“Wait, Dad, don’t be impulsive. We need to think this through carefully.”
After hearing Ji Wenlin’s words, Ji Wenyan was dumbfounded, thinking his father moved too fast!
No wonder he had just asked what he thought about Jidong Hotel!
It turned out his father wanted to strike at the Liang family!
Although he was very grateful for his father’s support, Ji Wenyan didn’t want to put the Ji family at risk because of him.
Revenge against Liang Quan could be taken slowly… After all, he had the system backing him, so there would be plenty of opportunities later.
But now, involving his family was not good.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already thought it through. And you don’t have to worry about being accused of provoking a fight… The Liang family trying to compete with me in U City is untenable to begin with. This time, even if they suffer a loss, they won’t have anything to say. They’ll just have to swallow their pride.”
“Dad, isn’t this too domineering!”
“What’s domineering about it? The largest mall in U City must be Bird’s Nest Mall! Just like how the Liang family monopolizes in A City, I didn’t say anything either—I just bypassed A City and opened malls in other cities.”
Sensing Ji Wenyan’s worry, Ji Wenlin quickly analyzed the situation simply, hoping his son wouldn’t have too many concerns.
Originally, seeing the Liang family’s reach grow too long, Ji Wenlin had already thought about teaching them a harsh lesson.
Now, seeing his son also felt dissatisfied with the Liang family, he no longer hesitated.
Hearing his father’s subsequent words, Ji Wenyan’s eyes lit up. Getting his father’s support was truly unexpected!
This time, the Liang family’s mall in U City would definitely not open.
They might even suffer a huge loss.
Thinking about this made Ji Wenyan even more eager to know how things would unfold, and how his father would deal with the Liang family!
“In that case, Dad, what are you planning to do?”
“That’s not for you to worry about. Adult matters—you can’t get involved yet.”
“Hmph, just a moment ago you were telling me to have more kids and plant fewer trees, and now you’re saying I’m too young!”
But Ji Wenlin didn’t say anything more; he just looked at him like a little kid, making Ji Wenyan speechless as he pursed his lips, thinking he was already quite grown up!!!
He was already 17!!!
“Oh? Wenyan, do you want a child?”
“No, Mom, you misheard! I just remembered I have a math test tomorrow, so I’m going to sleep. Good night~”
Just as Ji Wenyan was feeling frustrated, unexpectedly, his mother spoke up at that moment.
A brief question immediately scared Ji Wenyan into fleeing, afraid that even his mother would join in urging him to get married!
****
“Phew, finally safe!”
Back in his room, Ji Wenyan let out a sigh of relief.
Then, instead of rushing to wash up and sleep, he locked the door, took out his phone, and quickly opened the app.
He hadn’t had a chance to check the system’s intimacy prompt from earlier!
“Master, you’re finally back~”
Maybe it was the system’s weird taste, but recently, after opening the app, the voice that popped up kept changing its tune.
Still, Ji Wenyan found it quite amusing, thinking that if it were real life, Bai Mengze would never say such embarrassing lines.
Now, the phone screen, besides the anime girl in the center, had three options at the bottom: Attributes, Items, and Intimacy.
Previously, only the Attributes tab could be opened; the other two were grayed out and inaccessible.
But now, Intimacy had also lit up.
Thinking this, Ji Wenyan immediately tapped the Intimacy option to see what features it had.
[Intimacy: 5 points]
First-time opening tip: The higher the Intimacy, the deeper the bond. But don’t keep it too high, otherwise bad developments may occur.
Looking at the content in the Intimacy tab, there wasn’t much.
However, Ji Wenyan had great doubts about the tip that appeared.
Shouldn’t Intimacy be higher the better?
Why was it warning not to let it get too high?
After studying for a while and still having no clue, Ji Wenyan stopped thinking about it. He exited the Intimacy tab and returned to the original interface.
Looking at the anime girl in the center of the screen, Ji Wenyan was just about to reach out and poke her cheek when he suddenly noticed a treasure chest icon in the upper right corner.
This made Ji Wenyan twitch the corner of his mouth, wondering if the system was also going to introduce a first-recharge treasure chest!
Fortunately, when he tapped to open it, it wasn’t asking for a first recharge, but rather using Intimacy to exchange for Star Source Points.
[50 Intimacy exchange for 10000 Star Source Points]
Seeing the full 10000 Star Source Points, Ji Wenyan could no longer sit still.
Holy crap, such good fortune!!!
If he could use Intimacy to exchange for Star Source Points, then paying off the 1000 Star Source Points he owed the system would be a piece of cake!!!
