Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Ji Xiaotao was not lacking in the ability to read people's expressions, but in most cases she could not meet anyone worthy of her ability. Years of pampering and Ji Guochun's doting made Ji Xiaotao's character unruly and arrogant.

Ji Xiaotao grew up in a privileged family environment. Her father, Ji Guochun, doted on her and almost obeyed her in everything.

Growing up in this environment, she naturally developed a proud and willful character. Despite this, Ji Xiaotao is not completely ignorant of the ways of the world.

Deep down in her heart, she still pays enough attention to those who are truly worthy of respect. However, since she rarely meets such people, this ability is often not fully utilized.

Ji Xiaotao has shown keen observation since she was a child. She can detect other people's emotional changes from subtle details. This ability could have allowed her to be at ease in social situations, but she rarely had the opportunity to use this talent.

In her life, most people treat her with respect because of her identity and status, which makes Ji Xiaotao gradually accustomed to the lifestyle of being flattered. Over time, this lifestyle gradually shapes her unruly and arrogant personality traits.

Ji Xiaotao realized that she might have been too impulsive in dealing with Jiang Xifeng. She began to reflect on her behavior and secretly thought about how to make up for her previous gaffe.

Ji Xiaotao understood that if Jiang Xifeng was really Uncle Jiang's daughter, her previous attitude might bring unnecessary friction to the relationship between the two parties, so she decided to take a more gentle approach in the hope of easing the tension between them.

Ji Xiaotao looked at Jiang Xifeng and really wanted to say softly, "Jiang Xifeng, if you are really Uncle Jiang's daughter, then we are so destined to meet. I think there may be some misunderstandings between us. Why don't we find a time to sit down and have a good chat."

But when the words came to my lips I couldn't say them, I could only feel regret and frustration.

At this moment, Ji Xiaotao unexpectedly encountered Jiang Xifeng, a tough guy. Although she refused to admit defeat and kept muttering, she began to back down in her heart, and her confidence seemed to be much less.

When Ji Xiaotao faced Jiang Xifeng, although she still maintained a tough attitude on the surface and kept saying some sharp words, her heart had begun to waver.

She realized that Jiang Xifeng in front of her was not an easy person to deal with. A hint of uncertainty rose in Ji Xiaotao's heart, which made her no longer as confident as before when she spoke.

Ji Xiaotao tried to conceal her inner turmoil and continued to argue with Jiang Xifeng. But even so, she could feel that her voice lacked the firmness of the past.

Ji Xiaotao knew that the reason for this was that she had never met someone like Jiang Xifeng who could confront her head-on. Normally, her words could easily prevail, but today's situation was very different.

Ji Xiaotao realized that if she continued like this, she might lose more. She began to wonder if it was necessary to continue to stick to her position. After all, Jiang Xifeng's identity forced her to re-evaluate the situation. Ji Xiaotao secretly thought that perhaps this dispute was not just an ordinary quarrel, but had a deeper meaning.

"Xiao Tao, it's been quite a while since we last met. I remember the last time you came to visit us, you still had long hair that made people think you were Mona Lisa. Now you have two thick braids, and you look like a little girl, fresh and refined."

Aunt Zhao, who was meticulous and careful, naturally noticed this change. She smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and said words to comfort this unruly little girl who had not been through much and still had a child's mentality.

Aunt Zhao has been paying close attention to the dispute between Ji Xiaotao and Jiang Xifeng. She is sensitive and can keenly capture the subtle changes between the two.

When she saw Ji Xiaotao's attitude soften, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Aunt Zhao knew that although Ji Xiaotao looked willful and unruly, she actually had a kind heart deep down. She realized that this dispute might be a good opportunity for Ji Xiaotao to grow.

Aunt Zhao walked forward gently and said to Ji Xiaotao in a gentle voice: "Xiaotao, it seems that there are some misunderstandings between you and Xifeng. You are both good children. If you have any problems, you can discuss them properly. There is no need to be so tense." Aunt Zhao's words were full of comfort and understanding, and she hoped to ease the atmosphere on the scene.

When Ji Xiaotao heard what Aunt Zhao said, she smiled shyly. She knew that Aunt Zhao meant well and was always very concerned about her. Ji Xiaotao was secretly grateful for Aunt Zhao's understanding and support. She nodded and said softly, "Thank you, Aunt Zhao. I understand. Xifeng and I will have a good talk."

Aunt Zhao nodded with satisfaction. She knew that Ji Xiaotao's acceptance of her advice showed that she had begun to learn to find solutions to difficulties. Aunt Zhao encouraged, "Very good, Xiaotao. I believe that you two can find a way to solve the problem. Sometimes, taking a step back can open up a new world, right?"

Ji Xiaotao felt a warm current in her heart again when she heard this. She realized that she still had a lot to learn in the process of growing up, especially how to stay calm and rational when facing conflicts. She looked at Jiang Xifeng, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented calmness.

Seeing this, Jiang Xifeng also smiled back. She felt the change in Ji Xiaotao's attitude and was also relieved. The relationship between the two women seemed to become more harmonious because of this.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaotao quickly changed the subject and tried to ease the atmosphere. She smiled and said, "That's impossible. The weather in Beijing is dry, and hair tends to get frizzy easily. If you don't tie it up, it will be very uncomfortable to hide dirt. Unlike Shanghai, the air is moist, and it feels so comfortable to let your hair fall down behind your shoulders with a breeze. By the way, Aunt Zhao, why did you come to Beijing with Sister Xifeng? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up at the train station?"

Ji Xiaotao's words were full of concern, and she hoped to express her friendliness in this way. She knew that if she continued the previous dispute, it might make the atmosphere more awkward. Therefore, she chose a lighter topic, hoping to take this opportunity to narrow the distance between them.

Aunt Zhao smiled gently when she heard Ji Xiaotao's words. She knew that Ji Xiaotao was trying to ease the atmosphere, and she felt relieved.

Aunt Zhao replied, "Oh, Xiaotao, you have grown up so much and are really sensible. We came to the capital this time because of some urgent business, and we didn't have time to inform you in advance. But, look, we are here now, aren't we?"

Ji Xiaotao felt relieved after hearing this. She smiled and said, "Aunt Zhao, I didn't know you were coming to Beijing, otherwise I would have made preparations in advance. Please tell me next time you come."

Aunt Zhao nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will tell you in advance next time I come. Xiaotao, if there is any misunderstanding between you and Xifeng, you need to communicate well. You are all good friends, don't let a small matter make things awkward."

At this critical moment, chatting about family matters is undoubtedly a way to get closer to each other. Since there is a way out, Ji Xiaotao naturally understands Aunt Zhao's kindness. She smiled obediently, without the arrogant look she had before.

Ji Xiaotao realized that the current situation could be eased in this way. She knew that Aunt Zhao had good intentions, and this kind of intimate conversation could effectively ease the previous tense atmosphere.

Ji Xiaotao restrained her previous sharpness and became much gentler. She said softly, "Aunt Zhao, you are so polite. In fact, I have always missed you. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were coming to the capital? I can take you around and introduce you to some interesting places."

Ji Xiaotao's words were full of sincerity, and she hoped to take this opportunity to express her concern and longing for Aunt Zhao. She knew that in this way, the relationship between them could become closer.

When Aunt Zhao heard Ji Xiaotao's words, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is not just a matter of public order and good customs. The philosophy and life experience contained therein are worthy of scrutiny and can stand the test of time.

After all, the advantage of age is there. Most people have experienced years of hard work, and the network resources and even energy they have accumulated are far beyond imagination. This is especially evident in Beijing.

In a city like Beijing, which is full of opportunities and challenges, people's respect for age and experience is particularly evident. This is where elite talents from all over the country gather, and everyone is fighting for their dreams.

In this context, the rich experience and extensive network resources accumulated by the elders have become their precious wealth. They are often able to provide valuable guidance and support to young people at critical moments, helping them avoid detours in life.

For Ji Xiaotao, the existence of Aunt Zhao is a good example. Aunt Zhao not only gave her support and encouragement at critical moments, but also pointed her in the right direction with her life experience. Ji Xiaotao realized that respecting elders is not only a courtesy, but also an investment in herself.

Through communication with Aunt Zhao, she learned a lot of valuable life wisdom, which is of great significance to her future growth and development.

In a place like Beijing, the importance of age and experience is more prominent. Many young people come here hoping to realize their dreams, but they often encounter various challenges and difficulties.

In such cases, experienced and well-connected elders can often be their strongest support, not only providing practical help but also imparting valuable lessons to help young people better cope with challenges in life.

Ji Xiaotao deeply realized this through this experience. She realized that whether in work or life, we should respect the wisdom and experience of the elders. This can not only help us grow better, but also establish a good image in society and win more respect and support from others.

Through this experience, Ji Xiaotao not only learned how to better handle interpersonal relationships, but also realized the importance and profound significance of respecting the elderly and loving the young. She understands that only by continuous learning and growth can she gain a firm foothold in this competitive society.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you throw a brick around Wangfujing, the old man who is accidentally hit is at least at the department level.

As one of Beijing's famous commercial districts, Wangfujing is not only a popular place for shopping and tourism, but also a place where people from all walks of life gather.

People here come from all walks of life, and many of them have rich experience and deep backgrounds. For those who don’t know the inside story, this may just be an ordinary business district, but for those who are familiar with it, there are many "low-key" bigwigs hidden around Wangfujing.

In such a place full of opportunities and challenges, many people have achieved a certain social status through years of hard work and accumulation.

They may be important officials in government agencies or successful businessmen, but they usually live a low-key life. These people often have extensive personal connections and profound social influence, and even in daily life, their unique temperament can often be felt.

Ji Xiaotao recalled the previous dispute with Jiang Xifeng and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. She realized how unwise it was to make a judgment easily without knowing a person's background and experience.

This experience taught her a valuable lesson: in the days to come, no matter who she meets, she should treat them with a more open and inclusive attitude, because behind every seemingly ordinary person, there may be an extraordinary story.

Although Aunt Zhao did not hold an official position, she had considerable influence due to the Jiang family's status in Shanghai. As the saying goes, "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door" and even though Aunt Zhao herself was low-key and modest, her status was still not easily ignored.

Whenever people first meet her, they often feel friendly because of her kind smile and gentle attitude. However, behind this, the power represented by Aunt Zhao cannot be underestimated.

Aunt Zhao lives in an elegant old house located in a prosperous area of ​​Shanghai. This was purchased by the Jiang family in gratitude for her contributions to the family over the years. This house has witnessed the city's changes over the past century.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrates the mist and shines into the house, Aunt Zhao will start her day by taking a walk in the back garden, which is full of various flowers and plants, especially the old locust trees, which carry the family's memories.
