Jiang Xinxin looked up at Luo Ning with a gentle gaze, “Ningning, you’re here.”

Her eyes filled with a bit of worry and pity, she continued, “Xixi isn’t feeling very well right now, could you draw him another talisman to suppress his physical condition?”

Initially, she hadn’t planned for her daughter to come over, but her son’s condition was not good, which was why she had stayed in the cabin.

Luo Ning greeted Qi Yuelan and sat down next to Luo Xi.

His face was extremely pale as he forced a comforting smile at Luo Ning.

“Sister, I’m fine. It’s just that I used up a lot of energy earlier, and I’ve run out of the talisman you gave me, which is why I’m feeling uncomfortable.”

Luo Ning felt heartache, the self-ignition of the talisman proved that her brother had been attacked.

A wave of killing intent and coldness arose in her heart— the women from the Gou Family were waiting for her.

Luo Ning lifted her hand to touch his forehead, which was indeed very cold; his physical condition seemed on the verge of erupting.

“It’s okay, I’ll draw you another talisman, and you’ll feel better once you wear it for a while.”

Fortunately, it hadn’t been long since, and the Jade Pendant Talisman also helped suppress it somewhat, preventing his condition from erupting.

However, had it been a few more hours, it would have been troublesome.

She quickly drew another talisman specifically to suppress her brother’s condition, which also had regenerative effects for the body.

Folding the talisman, she handed it to Luo Xi, “Keep this safe.”

Luo Xi took the talisman and secured it close to his body, slowly feeling sleepy and fell asleep in no time.

Soon, the chilling cold emanating from his body gradually faded, and Luo Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and asked, “Mom, who are the hidden people outside?”

Several individuals, extremely skilled, were hidden nearby in the woods; Ji Jiayi hadn’t detected them, but they couldn’t escape her notice.

She didn’t sense any malintent from these people, which meant they were their own.

As far as she knew, it was a last-minute decision for Aunt Lan and Ji Xinghang to come and help today; thus, it couldn’t be people they had brought over.

The Ji Family didn’t seem to have such bodyguards either.

That left only her mother.

Jiang Xinxin never hid anything from her daughter, “Yes, these are International Mercenaries I’ve hired.”

“Last time you mentioned that the mother and daughter from the Gou Family might hire an assassin to target us, so I asked a friend who then sent some of his mercenaries.”

“They actually arrived this morning and secretly protected Xixi and me on our way here, only to encounter assassins from the International Black Alliance.”

She was originally planning to go home tonight and discuss this with her daughter, and then have the two protect her daughter in secret.

Who would have thought that the mother and daughter were so impatient?

If they were just targeting her, she wouldn’t have been surprised.

But those people even dared to strike at her son, which completely crossed her bottom line.

Luo Ning nodded, “So it was the International Mercenaries, no wonder their hiding skills are quite proficient.”

Although curious as to how her mother knew people from the International Mercenary Organization, she didn’t ask.

Qi Yuelan was also scared today; it was her first time experiencing such an event.

However, despite her shock, she wasn’t too afraid but rather quite angry.

“The mother and daughter from the Gou Family are just too bullying, assuming you guys are easy targets,” she said angrily.

He planned to go back and have Old Ji find an opportunity to deal with the Gou and Feng families. Those wrecked goods held back others’ possessions and even hired murderers to silence them; it was just too venomous.

Jiang Xinxin gave her a reassuring look, “They probably think we don’t have any support here, so we are easy to bully.”

Her eyes grew colder, “Since that is the case, then I will let them see who can be bullied and who should not be touched.”

Had it not been for the talisman from her daughter, her son would have been shot; she was truly frightfully close to a heart arrest at that moment.

Ningning also scoffed, “Exactly, they think they can treat us like dishes on a plate.”

“I’ll let them receive a big present first.”

She could use the coin infused by the thousand-year-old dagger now.

Previously, she was too busy and didn’t have time to tamper with the Gou Family’s ancestral tomb, but now she didn’t plan to wait any longer.

Looking at Jiang Xinxin and her daughter’s appearances, Qi Yuelan knew they wouldn’t let this go.

She nodded and said, “Exactly, we must teach them a lesson this time.”

Did they really think her Xinxin had no one backing her up?

Besides Old Ji from her family, she had other connections within the circle, and she planned to make some moves once she returned.

She asked with concern, “Ningning, is Xixi alright now?”

Just now, Luo Xi’s pale face was frightening, making her heart ache.

Luo Ning and Luo Xi used to dine at her place for at least half of the time, and she not only cherished Luo Ning but also treated Luo Xi as her own son.

Luo Ning replied, “He’s fine now, but he’ll probably sleep until tomorrow.”

Qi Yuelan thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s head back first. I’ll have Xinghang carry Xixi to the car.”

The wooden cabin was too simple, and it was getting late, not suitable for an overnight stay.

Luo Ning thought the same, “Alright.”

Qi Yuelan called out, “Xinghang, come in and help.”

Ji Xinghang, who had been blocking Ji Jiayi from entering, heard her call and immediately ran inside.

Then, as instructed by his mother, he carried Luo Xi out.

Luo Ning and her mother left the wooden cabin together.

They then saw Ji Jiayi, who approached them politely to greet her mother and Aunt Lan.

She almost forgot that this guy was still outside.

So, she introduced him to her mother, “This is my friend, Ji Jiayi.”

Jiang Xinxin courteously nodded to Ji Jiayi and exchanged greetings.

Hearing Luo Ning was heading back, Ji Jiayi volunteered to give them a ride.

Luo Ning declined, but the guy was shamelessly persistent and ended up close by again.

Then, Luo Ning ended up riding in his car back to her apartment.

Ji Xinghang felt a pang of jealousy as he watched Luo Ning get into Ji Jiayi’s car.

This was indeed a shameless white lotus man.

So, after getting into the car, he mentioned Ji Jiayi to the two mothers, both explicit and implicit in his words.

Jiang Xinxin and Qi Yuelan, being astute, understood his meaning and just smiled helplessly.

Qi Yuelan was especially speechless about her son; compared to that smiling tiger young man, her son was still too naïve.

Yet, in business, he was an entirely astute and responsive person.

This foolishness was definitely inherited from his dad.

Mr. Ji, who was dealing with documents in the office, felt like a pot had fallen from the sky.

Arriving at the apartment’s parking lot,
Luo Ning, thinking about how she had delayed Ji Jiayi earlier, courteously asked him, “Would you like to come up for some tea?”

How could Ji Jiayi, who loved taking advantage of situations, refuse? “Sure, I’m quite thirsty.”

Luo Ning: “…” That was a bit too eager.

“Then please come up,” she nodded.

Overhearing that Luo Ning invited Ji Jiayi upstairs for tea, Ji Xinghang carried Luo Xi upstairs and decided not to leave.

He had to keep an eye out and not let this white lotus man take advantage of the situation.

Aside from being speechless, Qi Yuelan couldn’t care less about her foolish son and drove home by herself.

She had disliked those women from the Gou Family for a long time.

Just like Luo Ning and her daughter, she couldn’t swallow the resentment of today.
