Chapter 31: The Return of Master Ji and Madam Ji
Today, Master Ji and Madam Ji were coming back from the United States. So early in the morning, everyone in the Ji family, from top to bottom, was bustling about, except for Ji En. He surprisingly barged into Ji Aier's bedroom early in the morning and said to her, who was still half - asleep, "Get up quickly. I need to go to school."
Ji Aier rubbed her eyes and saw that the time on the alarm clock was a quarter to six.
"Get up quickly, you ugly duckling!" Ji En yanked Ji Aier up.
Ji Aier rubbed her sore arm, which he had yanked, and walked into the bathroom. She never expected that he would still be so strong even after being injured.
They were on their way to school at half past six. It showed how fast she had been, not even having time to eat breakfast.
Ji En handed a box of cake to Ji Aier.
"When did you buy this?" Ji Aier was very surprised. Ji En didn't like sweets. How could he have a cake?
"Just eat it. Don't be so chatty." Ji En said disdainfully, as if Ji Aier were an old nagging woman.
Ji Aier stopped talking. While scooping up the cake she liked, she thought that tonight would be very lively.
The day passed by very quickly, at least that's how Ji Aier felt.
After school, Ji En and Ji Aier returned to the Ji family mansion. As they entered the living room, Ji Aier heard Madam Ji's voice.
"Xiao En, you're back! Did you miss Mommy?" Madam Ji came over and put her arm around her son and asked.
"I'm going upstairs first. We'll talk later." Ji En said impatiently. His tone didn't seem like he was talking to his own mother, whom he hadn't seen for several months at all.
"Really, Mommy has come back after such a long time. Don't you want to chat with Mommy first?" Madam Ji said a bit disappointedly.
"Do you want to continue telling me about what piano awards you've won?" Ji En looked at his mother and said.
"Of course not. Tonight, Daddy and Mommy will introduce a girl to you. I'm sure you'll fall in love with her at first sight." Madam Ji said with a smile.
"I don't want it! You can keep her for Daddy!" Ji En actually said this to his own mother. Although Master Ji was well - preserved, looking like he was in his early forties even though he was over fifty, what Ji En said was still a bit too much.
"What are you talking about! Go upstairs, take a shower, and remember to dress up handsomely. They'll be here at seven." Madam Ji said to Ji En. "Xiao Ai, you go upstairs too and help the young master get ready." Madam Ji finally noticed Ji Aier standing beside them.
"Yes, Madam!" Ji Aier bowed at a ninety - degree angle to Madam Ji. This was the standard response of a servant in the Ji family.
Going upstairs with Ji En, he didn't seem happy at all. He didn't even want to take a shower and just sat on the sofa, watching cartoons.
Ji Aier first went to the bathroom to draw bath water for him and chose a formal three - piece suit for him, putting it in the dressing room.
"Ji En, the water is almost ready. You can take a shower now," Ji Aier came out of the dressing room and said to Ji En.
Ji En didn't even move and said, "Come here."
Ji Aier walked over, not knowing what else he needed her to prepare.
He suddenly yanked Ji Aier to sit on the sofa.
"Watch TV with me!" he said.
Then Ji Aier just sat there stupidly, watching cartoons with him until the butler knocked on the door and said that Master Ji asked the young master to go downstairs.
Then he reluctantly went into the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
"Come quickly and help me button up my shirt." The showered Ji En shouted from the dressing room.
Ji Aier entered the dressing room and saw that Ji En was still wet all over. He was always like this, never drying himself off after taking a shower. She quickly took a bath towel and first helped him wipe off the water drops.
When she saw Ji En standing there in his suit, Ji Aier felt a sense of satisfaction, as if the handicraft she had made with her own hands had finally been completed, and this handicraft was extremely perfect.
"Don't stand there daydreaming. It's your turn. I'll give you fifteen minutes to take a shower and get dressed." Ji En said to Ji Aier. She didn't understand what this had to do with her.
