    Chapter 23

    After listening, Qi Feiluan thought he would have some emotional fluctuations, but there was nothing, only a void.

    Change?Give him the task, celebrate the New Year together, allow him to have his own residence and holidays, allow him to move back to his original office on the 33rd floor…

    It sounded so good. As long as he wanted to, Ji Xingyuan agreed.

    But in essence, doesn’t it still require his permission and consent?

    Saying that she wanted to stay up late and celebrate the New Year with him, in Qi Feiluan’s view, this was indeed Ji Xingyuan’s clumsy attempt to change.

    But he had just returned from completing his mission, and what he wanted most now was to rest, but Ji Xingyuan still dragged him to stay with him.

    It seemed like a change, but this change never considered him. It was just Ji Xingyuan’s wishful change, and all he needed to do was cooperate.

    Qi Feiluan remembered that he had invited Ji Xingyuan to stay up late and celebrate the New Year together before. After all, Ji Tailin and Jian Lu didn’t care about their children, and the huge Ji family manor always seemed cold and empty on family reunion nights.

    What did Ji Xingyuan say at that time——

    “That’s just a waste of time. You might as well take this time to rest.”

    Ji Xingyuan refused to stay up with him to celebrate the New Year because he didn’t want to; now Ji Xingyuan wants to stay up to celebrate the New Year with him because he wants it.

    What Ji Xingyuan said seemed to be concessions and changes on his part, but in essence it was still centered on himself.

    Qi Feiluan understood Ji Xingyuan better than anyone else, so he realized more clearly and sadly that Ji Xingyuan was the kind of born ruler. He not only dominated his own thoughts, but also had the power to dominate others and make others live around his thoughts.

    But some people are completely different from Ji Xingyuan. He has no ability to control his own life, so he can only be controlled by such a master.

    If Ji Xingyuan wants to be with him all the time, he will move into the manor and office. If he changes his mind, he will have to move out again.

    With Qi Feiluan’s understanding of him, he would probably change his mind and let him move back in soon.

    So why is there any need to go back and forth?

    After all, he was very tired…

    Really really tired.

    “No need.” Qi Feiluan said calmly but firmly, “I will work for you, live in Jijia Manor, and share an office with you, which makes it convenient for us to commute and communicate. As for vacation, I really need it, thank you.”

    Since the two of them had not chosen a movie yet, the soundproofed audio-visual room fell into dead silence.

    Ji Xingyuan didn’t expect that he would get such a calm and polite answer.

    Just after he said it, he imagined many kinds of Qi Feiluan’s reactions, whether he would ask him aggrievedly why he realized it now, or he would angrily say that he didn’t need such a cheap charity… But any reaction was better than the current one.

    Ji Xingyuan’s throat felt tight, and he said, “Okay, do what you think.”

    Qi Feiluan looked at his mobile phone and found that there was still about an hour before midnight. He asked: “Do you still want to stay up late?”

    “Yes.” Ji Xingyuan said.

    Since neither of them was interested in film history programs and neither mentioned what programs to watch, this was too out of place for the two of them.

    Ji Xingyuan opened the screen, projected his work onto it, and started planning things for the next year, while Qi Feiluan became more and more sleepy.

    With the warm interior, soft blankets and sofa, he fell asleep almost unconsciously.

    Ji Xingyuan noticed that he was asleep and did not disturb him.

    When there were 5 minutes left and it reached zero, a preset clock popped up on the screen in the audio-visual room and began to count down.

    Ji Xingyuan controlled the intelligent system in the manor and turned on all the lights. Then he turned his head and saw Qi Feiluan sleeping. He didn’t want to wake him up, but sleeping in the audio-visual room was not as comfortable as sleeping in the room.

    After a moment’s hesitation, Ji Xingyuan thought it would be better to let him go back to the room upstairs to sleep.

    Ji Xingyuan leaned over and looked at Qi Feiluan sleeping, and couldn’t help but lean over and gently kiss Qi Feiluan’s forehead.

    This kiss was light and quiet, taking place in a secret and small room, at a time when the other party was asleep and didn’t know it.

    Ji Xingyuan woke up Qi Feiluan, and as the second hand of the clock on the screen approached 12 o’clock at the top, the two of them counted silently along with the second hand.

    3, 2, 1…

    Happy New Year.

    After the New Year, Ji Xingyuan gave Qi Feiluan a holiday as he said, but he himself couldn’t take any time off at all.

    Ji Taizhen had just been hit and forced to delegate power, but those under him had occupied positions and gained benefits and would not let them go easily. Ji Xingyuan would continue to arrange for people to take over Ji Taizhen’s power.

    At the same time, the illegitimate son Ji Yinli, who had not finished his seven-day New Year’s holiday, was sitting in his house happily playing games, but the next second he received a message from Ji Taizhen, asking him to go out to see him immediately.

    Ji Yinli suddenly lost all interest and rolled his eyes, secretly saying something bad.

    Although Ji Yinli didn’t want to see him at this time, Ji Taizhen was his uncle and had a certain amount of power in the Ji family, which was something that an idle illegitimate son like him couldn’t compete with.

    Ji Taizhen asked him to go over, so he had to go over. If he refused, Ji Taizhen would send someone to “invite” him to go over soon.

    Ji Yinli could only get up, change clothes, go out, get in the car and go see Ji Taizhen.

    Ji Taizhen was sitting on the sofa. When he saw Ji Yinli, he said affectionately: “Yinli is here, sit down quickly.”

    Ji Yinli was not polite to him, sat down on the single sofa next to him, and said, “What’s the matter with uncle calling me here?”

    Ji Taizhen was a little unhappy. Although he asked Ji Yinli to sit down, he actually sat down directly. He was indeed an illegitimate child.

    Ji Taizhen concealed his displeasure very well and said: “Yin Li, you are 20 this year and have not joined the group. My uncle thinks that since your brother doesn’t help you make arrangements, then I, as your uncle, have to help you. What do you think?”

    Ji Yinli originally thought that this time would be the same as before. The uncle suddenly remembered that he had a nephew during the New Year, so he came to torment him, but he didn’t expect that he would actually come up and use a big move.

    What does Ji Taizhen mean?

    Ji Yinli was just an illegitimate son, and his mother was just one of Ji Tailin’s many Omega lovers. He was a transparent person in the Ji family most of the time.

    He has no shares in Ji’s Group, and has never interfered with anything in the Ji’s family. He only takes some fixed portion of the alimony given to him and his mother by the Ji’s family’s fund every year, and becomes a rich man who idles around and spends time and money.

    Did Ji Taizhen actually want him to join the Ji Family Group this time?

    Ji Yinli was not happy. Instead, she put away her carelessness and broke into a cold sweat.

    Did Ji Taizhen want to use him to put him on the stage and compete with Ji Xingyuan?

    Ji Yinli immediately thought of the rumors he had heard before, saying that the Ji family’s internal management would experience an earthquake after New Year’s Eve.

    Although Ji Yinli was a playboy, he was still the illegitimate son of a wealthy family like the Ji family, and his mind turned quickly when the struggle between wealthy families involved him.

    He also has a very clear understanding of himself. It was only after his brain was repeatedly suppressed by Yun Gui that he felt that it was a good thing for Ji Taizhen to let him join the Ji Family Group. Can he defeat Ji Xingyuan?

    This is absolutely impossible.

    Didn’t you realize that Ji Taizhen has failed in this struggle? Do you plan to push him forward as a cover?

    The reason why he can still take the astronomical alimony from the Ji family fund and be his rich N generation happily and happily is that Ji Xingyuan can’t think of him, and Ji Xingyuan is targeting him to promote him.

    But if he is not honest, Ji Xingyuan probably won’t be merciful.

    Ji Yinli immediately started to show off and said, “Uncle, you also know that I don’t know anything. Letting me join the group is just to hinder the group. It’s really unnecessary.”

    Ji Taizhen knew what he was thinking. He tapped his fingers on his knees and said, “Use it, and it must be used. My uncle is old now, but he is counting on you. Yinli, I will arrange for you to join the group. You will have a share of the group’s shares in the future, which is much more than the little pocket money you get now. This will also be of great benefit to you.”

    But it’s the greatest benefit to you.

    Ji Yinli had the courage to deal with this old fox: “Uncle, how old is he? Why should he count on me? I really don’t count on me. I definitely have enough money to spend now, I don’t need more.”

    Ji Taizhen’s expression darkened. He didn’t like Ji Yinli in the first place. After being rejected repeatedly, he didn’t bother to pretend to be an uncle-nephew. He said directly: “I want to arrange it for you, so I will arrange it for you. It has nothing to do with your ideas. If you don’t listen to my arrangement, you may not be able to keep your enough pocket money.”

    As he spoke, Ji Tai shook his fingers and sent a document to Ji Yinli. He raised his chin and said, “Let’s take a look.”

    When Ji Yinli saw Ji Taizhen’s attitude, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned on his phone to check the document.

    That’s a DNA test report…

    The identification document clearly stated that Ji Tailin was not his biological father, which meant that Ji Yinli was not actually Ji Tailin’s biological son.

    In fact, Ji Yinli knew about this matter. Not only did he know about it, but Ji Tailin and his mother, who were already dead, also knew about it.

    The reason why Ji Tailin knew that he brought Ji Yinli back to the Ji family and declared that Ji Yinli was his illegitimate son was just another way to stimulate Jian Lu.

    Therefore, Ji Yinli never had any thoughts about the Ji family. The Ji family would give him and his mother a large amount of money every year. This money was an astronomical figure for ordinary people and was enough for them and their son to live a prosperous life.

    More importantly, in addition to money, even if he is just an illegitimate son of the Ji family, he has also enjoyed many connections and other invisible resources provided by the Ji family, openly and secretly.

    Ji Tailin used Ji Yinli and his mother as tools. Ji Yinli and his mother knew full well that this was a secret deal with a clear price tag.

    “You are not Ji Tailin’s biological son. I think my brother knows this, but he is already dead, and died suddenly without leaving any will. I can take this appraisal to the court and sue you mother and son for concealing the truth and committing fraud. At that time, the court will not only make you return the alimony you have received over the years, but may also sentence you mother and son.”

    Ji Taizhen actually had doubts about whether Ji Yinli was Ji Tailin’s biological child. This identification was done before Ji Tailin’s death.

    After all, he also knew very well about Ji Tailin and Jian Lu, and knew about his brother’s twisted obsession with Jian Lu. Ji Tailin had so many Omega lovers, and if he was the kind of person who couldn’t control them, Ji Yinli would never be the only illegitimate child.

    But there happened to be an illegitimate son named Ji Yinli, so of course Ji Taizhen had doubts about this.

    “Yin Li, your mother already has a relatively happy new family, and you are just 20 years old, which is a great time. Don’t doubt the energy of the Ji family. You never want to get to that point, right?”

    Ji Yinli stared at Ji Taizhen, biting his back teeth slowly. He tried his best to control himself so as not to punch Ji Taizhen’s hypocritical and disgusting face.

    “Yes.” Ji Yinli said almost forcefully, “Uncle can arrange whatever he wants. I will definitely cooperate.”
