As soon as Ji Fengfan reached the door of the banquet hall, he ran into Ji Fengchuan and Ji Fenghe outside the door. The two seemed to be preparing to leave as well.

Ji Fengfan originally had no intention of greeting the two of them and walked straight towards his car. He didn't drink and walked through the whole event with a glass of red wine in his hand.

Ji Fenghe saw him.

"Hey, isn't this our third brother? Eh? Where's the girl just now? Was she left here by someone? This is too disrespectful to women. Third brother, if you don't like her you can give her to me. We are brothers, I don't mind." Ji Fenghe said these words with a grin, looking cynical, and pulled Ji Fengchuan over with him.

Ji Fengfan put down his hand that was on the door handle, ready to open the door, raised his eyelids lazily, glanced at Ji Fenghe lightly, opened his thin lips slightly, and said, "I mind."

These three words made Ji Fenghe very angry.

Ji Fenghe snorted coldly, the smile on his face disappeared, and he spat on the ground without any manners, "Bah, you really think you are such a big shot, what the hell are you bragging about? Do you really think you are still the little prodigy who used to make this old man so proud?"

Ji Fenghe cursed, and Ji Fengfan looked at him with a fierce look. Ji Fenghe's arrogance immediately lost more than half. He forced himself to raise his voice, "Why are you glaring at me? I'm your brother, and it's not okay for me to scold you a few times? If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't even remember that you are still a member of the Ji family."

Ji Fenghe was one year older than Ji Fengfan. Facing Ji Fengfan's fierce aura, he felt a little timid and lacked confidence. Although he knew that Ji Fengfan was a dull boy since he was a child, he didn't like to play with him and often led others to bully him. At this moment, he suddenly realized that Ji Fengfan was no longer the little boy who allowed him to bully him when he was a child.

"I really don't remember." Ji Fengfan said coldly.

"You..." Ji Fenghe wanted to say something but was stopped by Ji Fengchuan.

"Okay, talk less." Ji Fengchuan said to Ji Fenghe, then turned to Ji Fengfan and said, "Go back and accompany grandpa this week. He hasn't been in good health recently. Don't make him angry."

Ji Fengfan pursed his lips, opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Ji Fenghe and Ji Fengchuan were left standing there.

"Brother, why are you so nice to him? Look at his attitude. You are giving him face." Ji Fenghe was still muttering in a bad tone. He was very angry with Ji Fengfan.

The smile on Ji Fengchuan's face disappeared at this time, and he looked serious, as if he had become a different person.

"Don't mess with him anymore in the future." He said to Ji Fenghe.

"Oh, I see." Ji Fenghe suddenly became obedient.

He never dared to act rashly in front of Ji Fengchuan. He had seen the methods of his elder brother, and he also knew how ruthless his elder brother could be despite his gentle appearance.

Even if he didn't listen to his parents, he didn't dare to disobey his eldest brother.

It only took Ji Fengfan half an hour to get back to Lvdu Mansion.

Even he himself was a little surprised that he was not angry or upset because of Ji Fenghe's deliberate provocation tonight. He really didn't care about what he said. Maybe it was because he no longer expected family affection, so people involved would not care too much about it.

Along the way, he was looking forward to pushing the door open and entering the house. The lights were on and there was a small figure sitting cross-legged on the sofa, staring at the TV screen, which was showing the latest popular variety show. The person on the sofa was watching and laughing loudly, staggering from side to side, not caring at all about his image in front of him.

As he took the elevator upstairs and watched the numbers jumping up and down in the elevator, his expectations rose step by step, and he even felt a little excited.

When he opened the door, the room was dark and Xia Qingqian was not in the living room.

At this moment, he realized the true meaning of the saying: The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

He immediately turned on all the lights in the living room, then changed his shoes and walked into the house. After getting used to the light, facing the pitch-black darkness again, the feeling of loneliness and silence seemed to swallow him up.

If you think about it carefully, ever since Xia Qingqian moved in, she has been invading his life without him noticing, changing everything about him, even his habits and preferences.

This realization made his heart skip a beat.

In the past, he always lived alone, and when he came home he would face an empty house and a dark living room, but he never felt anything was wrong.

Now, he was just facing the same house and the same dark night again, but he was so uncomfortable.

Xia Qingqian hid in her room, lying down and browsing her phone. Ji Fengfan had originally wanted to order takeout for her dinner, but she sternly refused. She was already well, but her leg looked like it was broken, so she was too incompetent as a cook. So, on a whim, she made dumplings from the refrigerator. She didn't know how to roll the dumpling skin, so she bought ready-made ones. The minced meat was also minced by the butcher. She only needed to complete the following steps, and making dumplings became simple all of a sudden.

It took her more than an hour to make the dumplings, but she only dared to eat five of them. She had to go to shoot a commercial tomorrow, so she didn't dare to eat more. She put the rest in the refrigerator and froze them.

When Ji Fengfan opened the door, Xia Qingqian heard the sound. She looked at the time and it was not yet nine o'clock. She was stunned for a moment.

It’s so early, it shouldn’t be Ji Fengfan who is back. How can the opening ceremony of the film festival end so quickly? There must be a cocktail party after the ceremony, and it will definitely not be over until one or two o'clock.

But...if it’s not Ji Fengfan, then...who is it!

Could it be that a thief broke in?!

Since she was almost kidnapped last time, she felt that nothing was impossible. Therefore, she did not consider that the elevator in Lvdu Mansion required an elevator control card to press the floor, and the security guard at the door was on duty 24 hours a day, and it was impossible for outsiders to enter the building easily. In the end, they were on the 32nd floor, and there was no thief who could climb so high.

Xia Qingqian automatically imagined many similar plots from TV and movies. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, as if she was going to be murdered in the next second.

She heard the sound of a switch, and because there was only a small table lamp on in her room, she could see through the crack in the door that the light in the living room was turned on.

Xia Qingqian thought to herself: Are thieves so bold nowadays? They committed crimes with the lights on, they really don't consider themselves outsiders.

She put down her phone, climbed out of bed quietly, looked around, trying to find something to protect herself, and immediately saw a pair of dumbbells in the corner.

It was just right. This blow would definitely make his head burst.
