Chapter 11: The Overlord’s Substitute Literature

Aunt Song likes Jiang Mian's well-behaved appearance. The little girl is beautiful, but she doesn't have the slightest bit of pampering in her body. She always treats others gently. Who wouldn't like that?

She nodded, “Then I'll do it. Will the young master come back to eat today?"

Jiang Mian paused while teasing Mao, "I just forgot to ask Fan Cheng. I'll call him and ask him."

Aunt Song put on her apron and said, "Okay, I'll go do some work first. Madam, tell me later."

"good."

Jiang Mian called Ji Zhixiu. When her phone was turned off, she called Fan Cheng again.

Fan Cheng was on his way back, "What's wrong, madam?"

"Why is your president's cell phone turned off? When you return to the company, ask him to call me back."

Fan Cheng was stunned, "The president didn't come to the company today."

"not coming?"

"Yes, you sent me a text message last night asking me to pick you up."

…

At seven o'clock in the morning, a nurse came to change Shen Tingyu's dressing. Her broken arm was in a cast, but she still had some minor wounds to deal with.

Shen Tingyu was afraid that Ji Zhixiu would misunderstand, so after the nurse left, she finished what she had not had time to say last night, “I attended a party last night and accidentally bumped into her on the way back."

Ji Zhixiu didn't care about this, but he nodded slightly. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he was ready to leave, "You have a good rest, the nurse we found for you will be here soon."

Shen Tingyu quickly sat up and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Ji Zhixiu lowered his head and glanced at his watch. His phone had run out of battery last night. "The company still has something to do."

Shen Tingyu's thoughts were racing, but she had no excuse to keep him, so she could only pretend to be generous and said, “Then go and do your work. Thank you for your hard work, I will treat you to dinner another day."

It was normal for her not to mention the past. Ji Zhixiu was also willing to regard her as his former sister, and his voice was always calm, “Okay, then you should have a good rest first."

When Ji Zhixiu returned to the company, Fan Cheng came to greet him hurriedly and said, "President, why is your cell phone turned off? My wife has called me all the time."

"What did she say?"

"I asked you if you would go back to Bieyuan for dinner at noon."

Ji Zhixiu nodded, "I understand, I'll call her back later."

Ji Zhixiu returned to Bieyuan at noon, and Aunt Song was overjoyed to see him come back, “It's only when the young master came back that I felt this place was quite popular."

When Ji Zhixiu was not in Bieyuan, Aunt Song took charge of everything here. He always respected Aunt Song.

Hearing this, he said, "Mianmian will live here after she graduates. Thank you Aunt Song for your hard work."

"No hard work, no hard work. Go and eat quickly, young master. The young lady is waiting for you in the living room."

He walked slowly into the living room and saw Jiang Mian drinking chicken soup with dried small fish in his arms.

Ji Zhixiu said displeasedly, “Why are you holding it while eating?"

Jiang Mian put down the spoon, raised the dried fish, and pretended to be sad, “Dried fish, your father doesn't like you, why don't you give me a hug? It's not that our dried fish is so cute."

Xiao Yugan meowed twice in response. With Jiang Mian here, he became emboldened and couldn't rely on her anymore.

Ji Zhixiu picked up the dried fish and threw it down, pinched Jiang Mian's soft cheek, "Didn't you agree that I would come back to eat? Why didn't you wait for me?"

Jiang Mian licked his lips, which were soaked in chicken soup and were shiny. "It's been a long time since I tasted Aunt Song's cooking. I ate first when I was hungry."

"Where were you last night? Fan Cheng said you didn't go to the company this morning." She asked casually, with a natural look on her face.

"Is Mrs. Ji checking the post?"

Jiang Mian glared at him, "Can't you?"

"Eat first, aren't you hungry?" He changed the subject.

After dinner, Ji Zhixiu hadn't left yet. Jiang Mian looked up at him, “Aren't you going to the company?"

"I won't go. I have nothing to do during this period. Leave it to Fan Cheng."

"Then I'll go upstairs and read a book."

Sister Ning sent her two notebooks, but she hadn't had time to read them.

Ji Zhixiu's handsome eyebrows slightly raised, "Come here."

Jiang Mian didn't know why and walked over. Ji Zhixiu put his waist in his arms and said, "I have a rose garden for you in the backyard. Come and take a look?"

Jiang Mian sat on his lap and said happily, “Rose garden?"

Ji Zhixiu came close to her ear and kissed her gently, "Yes, let's go and have a look."

He had been preparing this gift for a long time.

Jiang Mian stood up immediately, "Together."

"good."

Ji Zhixiu's private villa is very large, with a lot of space in the front yard and backyard. The front yard is usually used by the security team.

There is a swimming pool and garden in the backyard.

When Jiang Mian came here before, he didn't take a good look at it.

Ji Zhixiu led her away. This rose garden was opened separately and built next to the garden.

As we got closer, the scenery came into view.

The Roman-style fountain is surrounded by a sea of flowers, a promenade with night lights, and two swings.

Everything dies in winter, so you can imagine how much effort it took to cultivate this large area of deep purple roses.

Jiang Mian blinked. The scene in front of him was too dreamy, shocking, and unbelievable.

"Isn't it snowing...are they still in full bloom?" Jiang Mian asked suspiciously.

Ji Zhixiu pointed to the switch on the night light on one side, "Did you see it? As soon as you press the button, an open-air transparent shed will appear above it."

Jiang Mian gave a thumbs up, "The power of technology."

"No, you can do whatever you want if you have money."

Jiang Mian couldn't refute this. She turned her head and stood on tiptoes to kiss Ji Zhixiu twice, "It looks good. I like it very much. It's beautiful."

The smile flashed across Ji Zhixiu's eyes, "As long as you like it."

"Why purple roses? What kind of roses are they?"

"Louis XIV, think for yourself."

This touches on Jiang Mian's knowledge blind spot. Although she doesn't understand it, it doesn't hinder her love for it.

"You can put two deck chairs here in the future and watch the stars here at night. How romantic."

"Let's talk about it in the summer."

The two walked back hand in hand, and Ji Zhixiu said, “I want to go upstairs to have a video conference."

"Then I'll go upstairs and read."

However, Jiang Mian never read the book.

Her college roommate Ji Lanruo called her.

The two made an appointment at the milk tea shop in front of the school. When Jiang Mian arrived, Ji Lanruo had already ordered two cups of milk tea.

Seeing Jiang Mian coming over, she pursed her lips and said, "Heat your taro ball and pop milk tea with sugar."

Jiang Mian sat opposite her, "Thank you, why did you remember to ask me out today?"

Ji Lanruo was a wealthy daughter with three older brothers and was extremely favored at home. She held her chin, frowning at the moment, "I just have a problem that I can't figure out. Susu and Duoduo have both returned to their hometowns, and there is no one to talk to. Doesn't this make me think of you?"

There are four people in their dormitory, only Ji Lanruo and Jiang Mian are from Kyoto.

Jiang Mian lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, "Tell me and listen."

"My mother wants to arrange a marriage for me, but tell me, what age are we in, and are we still doing this kind of thing? It's so rubbish."

Jiang Mian tugged on his scarf, "Have you seen my partner? Is he handsome? Is he rich?"

Ji Lanruo stuck out her tongue, "I've never seen it before, but my mother said that their family conditions are very good. If I can get in, I still have some friendship before it's my turn."

"Then we can have a chance to meet and have a look first, and it won't be too late to make a decision."

"You're right. I'll ask my mother to arrange a meeting later."

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "I haven't even finished my horoscope yet, so don't think too much about it."

Ji Lanruo chuckled and said, "Actually, I haven't seen you for a long time during the holidays. I miss you. The Chinese New Year will be in one month. Do you have any plans?"

When it comes to celebrating the New Year, Jiang Mian said, “Maybe I will go abroad to celebrate the New Year."

Ji Lanruo's eyes lit up, "Baby, let me know where you are going when the time comes, and I'll see if there are any good things you can buy for me."

Jiang Mian was speechless for a moment, "My eldest lady, do you need anything else? Just don't work for me."

"Yes, but I still need a man."

Ji Lanruo is beautiful, and there is no shortage of people in school who like her. "Tell me, why isn't anyone chasing me?"

Jiang Mian thought: Then you have to ask your brothers.

Jiang Mian met Ji Lanruo's three brothers during the school art festival.

Wearing a suit and tie, he looked quite upright, but when he turned around, Jiang Mian saw one of them punching one of Ji Lanruo's suitors.

If Ji Lan is not pursued by anyone, I am afraid that the "contribution" of these three brothers must be indispensable.

"Okay, stop talking about me, let's talk about your secretly married husband. You haven't won it yet?"

Everyone in the dormitory knew that Jiang Mianying married a mysterious person at an early age.

It is both a flash marriage and a hidden marriage.

Jiang Mian yawned, feeling sleepy in recent days. "The latest news is that her ex-girlfriend has returned to China."

"Have you seen it?"

"I've seen it once, it's very nice."

Ji Lanruo couldn't help but clicked her tongue and said, "Don't let others poach you."

Jiang Mian spread his hands and buried his head in his scarf as if to escape, “It's been three years and my personality charm can't make him like me, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"Why did he marry you if he didn't like you?"

Jiang Mian couldn't reply to this. She couldn't say that she was the boss's stand-in, as that would be a loss of face.

"Maybe you see me as a pretty girl and want to marry her and make her a vase."

Ji Lanruo didn't know much about what happened between them and couldn't comment. She drank up all the pearls in the milk tea and said, "Don't hang yourself from a tree, there are too many men."

"decide as things go."

As long as Ji Zhixiu hadn't proposed it first, Jiang Mian felt that she wouldn't have mentioned the breakup.

It was too cold outside, so the two were too lazy to sit in the store and chat. After not chatting for too long, Ji Lanruo took a call and wanted to go home.

The two said goodbye at the milk tea shop and made an appointment to meet at the beginning of school.

When Ji Lanruo arrived home, her second brother Ji Lanyu was coming back to get a document.

Seeing his little sister coming back, he poked his head out from the second floor and asked, "Where are you going to play again?"

Ji Lanruo took off his coat and said, "I just met my roommate."

Ji Lanyu was thoughtful, then went downstairs and asked, "Jiang Mian?"

"How do you know her name?"

Ji Lanruo looked at her brother, and the suspicion she had in her heart deepened, "You don't... have a crush on Jiang Mian, do you?"

It doesn't seem impossible. After all, Jiang Mian's face would make her fall in love if she were a man.

Ji Lan frowned, and the scene when he first met that girl appeared in his mind.

If you see a beautiful woman, you will never forget her.

"Tell me, does your brother have a chance with me?"

Ji Lanruo shrugged and said without hesitation, “There is no hope."

"Why?"

"Oh, if I say there is no hope, there is no hope. How can there be so many reasons? Second brother, you'd better go to the company quickly, or dad will talk to you again."

Her three brothers all have experience in their own company, starting from the lowest position. The eldest brother and third brother have already become managers, but only the second brother is still at the bottom.

Being hit by her own sister, Ji Lan was very depressed and rubbed her head, "I'm leaving. I'll bring you a small cake when I come back in the evening."
