Ye Jingyun subconsciously stopped in her tracks and even took two steps back.
Her fear of Ji Fengmian was obvious.
There was a strange silence in the study.
No one spoke.
Ji Fengmian looked at Ye Jingyun indifferently. His indifferent and calm gaze was like the sharpest knife in the world to Ye Jingyun, cutting her all over.
Ye Jingyun retracted her gaze in a panic.
Her mind was a mess.
However, Ji Fengmian only smiled faintly.
“Why? We haven’t seen each other for decades, but you don’t even bother to greet me?”
Ye Jingyun’s body stiffened, as if she had been frightened by Ji Fengmian’s words. She turned to look at Queen Yulia before putting on a smile and saying to Ji Fengmian,
“Feng Mian… is it really you?”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and stared at her evasive gaze for a long time before saying slowly,
“Do you think I should or shouldn’t?”
His calm words made Ye Jingyun’s body stiffen and she didn’t dare to move. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Ji Fengmian’s gaze was like heavy iron on her.
Even Bei Lei, who entered later, was so intimidated by the invisible pressure emanating from Ji Fengmian that she didn’t dare to speak.
This woman was even more dangerous than Shen Fanxing.
It was the first time she met Shen Fanxing. She was aloof and aloof, but she gave off a feeling of aloofness.
She was so cold that she wouldn’t give anyone who wasn’t related to her a look. However, she was about the same age as her. Even if she knew that she was capable and shrewd, she couldn’t compare to someone her age.
However, Ji Fengmian was different. She had lived more than 20 years longer than Shen Fanxing. Even without saying anything, she could feel the strong aura emanating from her.
Her mother had been disturbed by her father recently. Now that she met Ji Fengmian, it was inevitable that she would be flustered.
Ye Jingyun indeed didn’t know how to face Ji Fengmian.
Her gaze and her simple words seemed to have seen through her.
“I don’t know what you mean by that…”
Faced with Ji Fengmian’s question, Ye Jingyun could only bite the bullet and answer.
Ji Fengmian sneered. “It seems like I’m overthinking. It’s been more than 30 years. I can recognize you at a glance, but you’re forgetful.”
Ye Jingyun trembled all over. When she mustered her courage to look at Ji Fengmian again, she saw him looking at her with an extremely cold smile before lowering his head to focus on the document in his hand.
She was stunned by Ji Fengmian’s attitude.
At first, she was afraid that she would settle old scores with her on the spot.
However, her silence made her even more uneasy.
However, at this moment, she had no idea what to say to her. All her doubts and uneasiness floated in her heart.
“Why are you here?”
Everyone in the room could sense the strange atmosphere.
Even Queen Yulia couldn’t help but sweat.
In the end, Feng Mian didn’t say anything. She was also puzzled, but some things weren’t mentioned on this occasion.
Faced with Queen Yulia’s harsh words, Ye Jingyun hurriedly turned to face her.
“Mother… I’m here…”
“Grandma!”
Bei Lei interrupted Ye Jingyun and walked to the queen’s side. She bent down and squatted in front of her. She placed her hands on her knees and looked up at her obediently.
“Grandma, the weather is getting colder and colder. Please wear more clothes… No matter how angry you are at me, you’re the only grandmother I have in my life, so you can hit me or scold me. I just hope that Grandma will be appeased one day. On the basis of treating me as your granddaughter, don’t think of abandoning me…”
Queen Yulia’s eyes flashed as she looked at Bailey’s face. Her lips were pursed and her eyes shone with complicated emotions.
“… Are you here to pester me?”
Bailey nodded and said, “Yes, because I have no other choice but to pester her. I’m afraid that Grandma really doesn’t want me, so I’m really unscrupulous now.”
Shen Fanxing was still sitting on the sofa with a toothpick in her hand. She was munching on a juicy piece of fruit while staring coldly at Bailey, who was acting like a filial granddaughter in front of her.
Indeed, everyone liked such a persona.
Déjà vu.
Bailey reached out to pinch her nose. Shen Fanxing smiled and took a small bite of the fruit in her hand.
She had yet to recover from her cold. Was she using her cold to gain sympathy?
She really knew how to manipulate people’s feelings.
Queen Yulia looked at her with a frown.
“If you’re sick, stay at home obediently. Do you think I’m not annoying enough?!”
Bailey smiled happily. “Grandma is still angry. How can I stay at home obediently?”
Shen Fanxing felt that there was a reason why Bailey had been doing well in Country Y.
Sensing Shen Fanxing’s gaze, she turned her head.
He met her gaze and nodded at her before looking at the fruit in her hand.
As if she had suddenly thought of something, she suddenly said, “Grandma, I remember that there are many seasonal fruits in the manor in the southern suburbs. I remember that you like to eat the red bananas and oranges there the most. It’s harvest season now. Since I have nothing to do now, why don’t I help you pick some?”
“Belle!”
Ye Jingyun suddenly shouted angrily. Bailey’s eyes flashed as if she was frightened.
Queen Yulia turned to look at Ye Jingyun, who avoided her gaze.
“What I mean is… someone will arrange for this to be sent in with just a phone call. She doesn’t have to go personally.”
Queen Yulia stared at Ye Jingyun for a while before saying coldly to Bailey,
“If you want to go, call your father back.”
“Mother!” Ye Jingyun’s face was pale.
“Why?! Do I have to look at your face when I ask my nephew to go home and meet his cousin?!”
Ye Jingyun shook her head. “No, Mother…”
Queen Yulia frowned and looked at Bailey. “You must call your father back. Tell him that I have something else to discuss!”
Bei Lei glanced at Ye Jingyun worriedly before standing up uneasily.
She paused for a while before looking at Shen Fanxing and said slowly,
“Fanxing… Sister, do you want to come with me? The manor in the southern suburbs is very beautiful. We can even help Grandma pick some fruits. You haven’t had a good tour here, right?”
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow and smiled in confusion.
“You want me to come with you? Are you sure?”
[If you have nothing to do, vote for me. Anyway, I’m awake. If you have nothing to do, vote for me. I have nothing to do anyway!]
