Chapter 38: midnight

Ji Fei Fei's eyes widened, looking at Ji Bai in disbelief.
A glamorous long dress outlines her slender and graceful figure, and her neck is white and slender, just like a white swan. The surrounding lights fell on her cheeks, as if covered with a layer of powder, her mouth was smiling, her eyes were clear, and her temperament was gentle.
In any case, the appearance of the two sisters should be similar, but I don't know when it started, Ji Fei Fei discovered that the difference between her and Ji Bai's appearance was getting bigger and bigger.
The parents felt sorry for their daughter, and asked Auntie Zhou to cook nutritious chicken soup, fish soup, and hoof flower soup for Ji Fei Fei every day. Gradually, Ji Fei's posture gradually developed in the direction of fullness, causing her facial features to become no longer distinct. .
And the whiteness after fifteen years old is like an orchid that blooms overnight, beautifully enviable.
Ji Feifei's hatred for Ji Bai is mixed with jealousy, the kind of jealousy that feels blazing when she sees her.
The Jibai of the previous life was too kind, and she couldn't see her crazy jealousy from her sister's hypocritical smile, so she foolishly thought that her sister was really good to her.
However, in fact, Ji Fei has made Ji Bai suffer more than ten years of growth, as if he was in hell.
In this way, her heart is slightly balanced.
She wants to take away her health, take away her pet, take away the boy she likes, and even take away her life...
At this moment, Ji Bai looked at Ji Fei Fei, who was wearing the same costume, indifferently, and asked: "Can I return the invitation letter?"
Ji Feixi squeezed the invitation letter with the gilt edge in his hand, stepped back two steps, and looked around.
Many cousins ​​in the family stood on the sidelines, watching her excitement coldly. Ji Feifei has always been the proud little princess in the family. If she leaves like this, I don’t know how many years they will be laughed at!
Ji Feifei felt that her face was almost lost, so she had to take out her mobile phone and called her father. Soon, Ji Mingzhi and Tao Jiazhi hurried to the door of the Century Hotel.
"Wai Bai, why are you here..." Tao Jiazhi looked at the scratches on Ji Bai's waist. At this moment, she was completely gone.
"Dad, Mom, Jibai clearly said today that she is not feeling well and she wants to give me the invitation letter. Now she is coming here again. Didn't this mean to embarrass me!"
She found herself a awkward step down.
The couple exchanged glances with Ji Fei Fei, and knew that in front of so many relatives, if Ji Fei Fei did not come to stage at this moment, their family would be ashamed.
So Tao Jiazhi pointed the finger at Jibai: "Baibai, it is obviously that you are not feeling well today. How can you blame your sister now? If you hadn't been begging for your sister and let her attend the banquet for you, she would not stand now. Here, you are doing this...it's so unkind."
"Dad, Mom, she just hates me." Ji Feifei began to wipe her tears, pretending to be pitiful and innocent, she is the best at it.
Jibai never said a word from beginning to end.
She didn't want to argue with these people, they pour all the sewage on her with conviction, and if she tells it, it will become a joke in the eyes of others.
This is a drop in price.
At this moment, old lady Ji walked out of the hotel: "The annual meeting is about to begin, what are you doing?"
"Chairman."
"grandmother."
"mom."
As soon as the old lady came out, the people around him immediately showed respect, and they dared not show up.
Old lady Ji had just listened to the outline by the door. At this time, her heart was naturally like a mirror. She squinted at the calm and composed Ji Bai, and a hint of appreciation appeared in her eyes.
It is difficult for her to have such a temperament at a young age, and she can still be so calm when she is accused or even framed by her own biological parents and sister.
Old lady Ji glanced at Ji Feifei, who was in full costume, and said lightly: "If I remember correctly, you weren't invited to the next annual meeting, why did you come here?"
"Grandma! Jibai pleaded with me to come. She was in poor health today, and she was afraid that grandma would be disappointed. That's why I came here for her. Now she doesn't admit it, parents can testify to me."
Old lady Ji glanced at Ji Mingzhi and his wife: "Really."
"Yes...Yes." Tao Jiazhi and Ji Mingzhi were staring at their mothers, obviously a little weak.
At this time, Jibai distinguished in a low voice: "It's not like this."
Granny Ji patted her hand, and then said to Ji Fei: "It seems that you don't understand, I will just tell you clearly."
She glanced at the Jijiatang sisters around her: "Sisters and brothers at home, if you can come, I have sent invitations, but you are the only one who did not have Ji Fei Fei. It is because you made a mistake and don’t know how to repent. Can my sister's invitation letter come in? I tell you, even if you enter this door today, I will ask someone to blast you out!"
Ji Fei's eyes widened sharply. She felt the mocking gazes of the sisters around her, her cheeks were burning with fire, and she gritted her teeth and said, "If Ji Bai begs me, I would never come..."
"Sister, you must force me to show out the evidence of your broken skirt, so you will give up."
Ji Fei looked at Ji Bai suspiciously: "Do you have any evidence."
Ji Bai said indifferently: "Auntie tailor said that the scratches on this skirt were man-made, and it was done very skillfully. As long as I put it on, the thread would break open little by little. Are you trying to prevent me from attending the annual meeting? Do everything possible to think of me ashamed of our family at the annual meeting."
As soon as these words came out, Tao Jiazhi and Ji Mingzhi were stunned. They always preferred Ji Fei Fei, but if Ji Fei Fei really did something vicious to frame Ji Bai, they would be hard to forgive.
Especially for a face-saving man like Ji Mingzhi, he absolutely can't stand his daughter being embarrassed in front of others.
"Fei Fei, is what my sister said true?"
"Did you really do such a thing?"
Ji Feifei shook his head repeatedly and distinguished loudly: "Nonsense! She said nonsense, I just made a cut with my nails, how could it be so serious!"
When this remark came out, everyone suddenly realized.
Ji Feifei quickly covered her mouth, looking at Ji Bai's quiet face, she realized that she had been calculated!
Ji Ji's face stretched slightly, her eyes showed appreciation, and she was obviously quite satisfied with her performance.
At this time, Assistant Qin stood up at the right time and said: "This dress is very valuable. If Miss Fei broke it, how should the compensation be counted..."
Tao Jiazhi was about to take the crying Ji Feifei to leave. Hearing these words, he quickly turned around and said: "They are all my own sisters, I will not pay for anything."
"This is a gift from the chairman of the board to Miss Jibai. If you need compensation, Miss Jibai has the final say."
Tao Jiazhi looked at the old lady, she stood on the side calmly, squinting her eyes and saying nothing, and seemed to be waiting for Ji Bai's answer.
Mother quickly persuaded Jibai to say, "Baibai, you and Fei are sisters. We should close the door and settle our affairs by ourselves. It's so embarrassing, right?"
Close the door and solve it yourself?
Jibai sneered, how few things had been resolved by closing the door at home these past few years, which time was it not Jibai letting her make her what she is today.
"If the dress is broken, it is broken. Even if it is sewn, it is not the most perfect look. Since my sister admits that she broke it, then pay the original price."
Ji Feifei said in disbelief: "What did you say! Original price! Are you crazy?"
Jibai hadn’t spoken yet, but the sisters in the family stood up to fight the injustice
"If you break someone's clothes, you should pay compensation! This is justified."
"Even if you are sick, make sense."
Ji Mingzhi walked out and sighed: "Okay, you can pay if you pay, and you will deduct it from Fei's pocket money."
Jibai knew that if she really wanted to deduct the money for this dress from her pocket money, I'm afraid she wouldn't want pocket money for the next few years.
In front of his grandmother and relatives in the family, Ji Mingzhi just said casually that they couldn't bear to wrong Ji Feifei.
Jibai said: "My sister has a whole wardrobe of dresses and skirts. Sell them all. Although they may not be worth the original price, I don't care."
If a person makes a mistake, he must be punished. Ji Bai will slowly teach Ji Fei Fei to understand this truth.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Feifei's face suddenly changed: "Dad, look at her..."
"Shut up, isn't it embarrassing enough? Just what Jibai said, come home with me!"
There was a good show, and the people eating melons dispersed contentedly.
Jibai walked to Ji Feifei's side, took away the invitation letter in her hand, didn't even glance at her too much, followed Assistant Qin and grandma into the hotel door.
Ji Fei Fei walked back in heavy steps, turning back the same way. The whispers and contemptuous eyes of others, like a knife, were carved on her back one by one.
Every knife is bloody.

In the hall of the annual meeting with fragrant clothes and shadows.
The old lady Ji brought Jibai to socialize and met the directors and partners of the group.
Jibai was a bit jerky about this kind of scene communication, but she has good manners and politeness, and her sincere and sincere conversation also made her gain a lot of goodwill from the guests.
The uncle in a suit and leather shoes looked at the Ji Bai who followed the old lady from a distance, and was slightly surprised.
How could such a quiet little girl in Ji Mingzhi's house, the second child, suddenly be so favored by the old lady, and took her throughout the entire annual meeting to help her expand her network.
Even the consistently outstanding children of his own family do not have such an honor as Jibai.
Could it be that the old lady Ji has any sustenance for her?
Everyone has his own little abacus in his heart.
On the ceremonial stage, came the melody of piano music. Uncle’s daughter Silent is playing Chopin’s famous songs.
She was wearing a beautiful white dress, sitting quietly in front of the piano, with her flexible fingertips walking on the black and white keys, elegant and generous.
Jibai has always felt that this quiet cousin can be regarded as a real lady-excellent, beautiful, and intelligent... Compared with her, Ji Fei Fei is really far behind. If the Ji Group really wants An heir was born from these brothers and sisters, and Ji Bai felt that it should be like his cousin.
Jibai admired her cousin's performance, but did not notice, the young man beside her stared at her.
"Is it Jibai?"
Ji Bai looked sideways and saw the young man in suit and leather shoes.
The well-fitting black suit embellished his well-proportioned body, and the tie bound his neck meticulously. Although his age was similar to her, his brows showed a sense of maturity beyond age, and his handsome facial features could not find a trace of flaws.
"do you still remember me?"
Jibai looked at him for a long time, and asked uncertainly: "Li Chen."
Li Chen's eyes curled up with a warm smile: "So you remember me."
"Why don't you remember, we played together before."
Li Chen is the crown prince of the Li Group, a young master who is all in love with him.
The three generations of the Li family and the Ji family had a good relationship. When he was a child, Jibai often saw Li Chen. This young master looked serious and polite wherever he went.
Li Chen looked at Ji Bai, with an incredible expression in his eyes: "I haven't seen you for a long time. You have changed a lot and become more beautiful."
"Thank you Li Chen." Jibai greeted Li Chen: "Are you in college now?"
"Yes, S is big."
S University is located in Jiangcheng and is a first-class university in the country.
Jibai's eyes revealed a look of yearning: "I am also preparing to take the S test, but I don't know if I can pass it."
"I remember, you should be in your third year of high school this year."
Jibai didn't expect that Li Chen could still remember her grade. She smiled and nodded: "Yes, this year's third year in high school, we must work harder to get admitted to the best university."
"The materials I prepared for the exam in high school were still there. I will send it to you when I have time. It should be helpful to you."
There was a surprise in Ji Bai's eyes: "Ah, thank you Li Chen so much!"
Li Chen was the city's top student in the college entrance examination, and his preparation materials are definitely a great help for Jibai!
When the two exchanged greetings, the piano music of the cousin Silent had already been played, everyone applauded politely, and Silent walked to the center of the stage carrying the skirt and thanked everyone gracefully.
Next, it was Jibai's cello performance.
Several assistants carefully lifted the cello onto the podium.
Compared with piano performance, the playing posture of the cello may not be so elegant and beautiful. Under the light, her slender arms exaggeratedly played the tune, and her body moved in accordance with the exciting melody. She closed her eyes and immersed herself in her emotions.
The low cello melody is like an old box that has been covered in dust for many years. It is suddenly opened, sending out an ancient sow, and the dust flying in the bright light, everything looks so old and charming.
At that moment, Li Chen looked a little startled, she was like an elf who strayed into the world from a fairyland, not as beautiful as anything else.
The people around were also attracted by him, and even the always proud Silent cousin was attracted by the white cello playing. Staring at her, there was an uncontrollable surprise in her eyes.
The second uncle’s little cousin, who has never been brilliant or unfavored, is just a blockbuster today.
After the song, Jibai put down the cello and walked to the front desk to thank everyone. The whole venue was applauded. The old lady Ji looked at her from a distance, with appreciation.
She believes that in her own eyes, Ji Bai is indeed a plastic talent.
Jibai’s cheeks are slightly red, and she is also excited. This is the first time she has shown her face in front of the elders and sisters of the same age in the family. In the past, these elder relatives never put her in their eyes because they all know that Jibai The existence of is only used as a "backup blood bank" for the poor hemophilia patient Ji Feifei in the family.
Who would put a "spare" in the eyes?
But after tonight, maybe they will change their minds.
Throughout the annual meeting, Li Chen stayed with Jibai, talking and chatting with her. The two also had a long time but didn't meet each other for a long time. The chat was quite speculative, and Jibai had been asking him for advice on college matters.
In a blink of an eye, the bell of zero rang.
Everyone put down their champagne glasses and came to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Bright fireworks rose in the night sky, blooming in clusters.
Jibai walked to the French window with everyone, and looked out the window.
The young man stood in a snowy night with flying goose feathers, and looked up at the building towering into the sky. Snow flakes fell in his dark eyes.
Jibai's heart seemed to be cut out suddenly.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the bright fireworks in the sky. They raised their heads and exclaimed in bursts of admiration. Only Ji Bai, her head hung down, staring downstairs in a daze.
Li Chen noticed Jibai's abnormality, followed her gaze and looked downstairs, and also saw the teenager standing in the heavy snow pushing his bicycle.
"Is he your friend?" Li Chen asked curiously: "Why stand in the snow?"
She was immersed in the hustle and bustle of intertwined coquettish clothes and fragrant temples, and Xie Sui had been waiting for her!
He wants to spend the New Year with her.
At this moment, Ji Bai can no longer care about any politeness or manners. She only has the lonely young man in her eyes.
Like a Cinderella at midnight, she hurried downstairs carrying her skirt.
