Exceedingly agitated, Old Madam Li almost choked to death right there and then. She kept coughing for a while until her masseuse gave her a careful rub on the back.
Her aged face was a bloated red.
âYou... woman!â
Ji Weixi blinked innocently as she watched her react. âIsnât the Li family supposed to be rich? Iâm only asking for a hundred million. What, why are you making that face like you would go bankrupt? Could it be that the Li family was just a front? Donât come looking for me if you couldnât afford that. Iâm busy, so remember to make an appointment next time.â
With that, Ji Weixi turned to leave.
However, Old Madam Li chuckled coldly. âStop right there!â
Ji Weixi remained where she was without looking back, waiting for her to talk.
Old Madam Li paused for a moment before gesturing for Wilson to take out a cheque.
After the butler handed it to her, Old Madam Li started to write down a long line of zeroes on the check with her shaking hand.
She passed it to Wilson, who handed it to Ji Weixi. âHereâs a hundred million, Miss Ji. Please stick to the agreement.â
âAgreement?â Ji Weixi played dumb. âWhat agreement?â
âYouâve got your money. Now return my great-grandson!â
âOh, my. Iâm sorry, but I never said that Iâm giving you my son.â Ji Weixiâs eyes looked well-meaning and harmless. âAll I wanted is money, and never once did I say that Iâm giving you my son. Have you gone senile, old woman?â
With that, Ji Weixi strode off.
Old Madam Li Was so enraged she almost passed out. Her face went pale white and utterly angry.
âWilson, tell Shaoling what happened!â
She must let him know how gold-digging that woman he loved was!
***
Li Shaoling did not say a thing when Wilson reported everything as it happened, and hung up with a flat âgot itâ.
Meanwhile, when Ji Weixi returned to her office, the little one hurriedly ran to her and stood on tip-toe to hand her a hamburger.
âHurry up, Mommy! I saved it for you!â
Ji Weixi was almost moved to tears; she gave him a firm peck on his cheek.
âGood boy. Iâm off to do something; Iâll be back soon.â
The little one pouted. âOkay. Hurry up, Mommy, it wonât be tasty if itâs cold.â
Then, Ji Weixi went to Li Shaolingâs office with considerable vigor.
He was reading through some documents, and his aloof gaze reflected her cold face.
Ji Weixi stormed to his desk and slammed the cheque on it in front of him.
âHereâs a hundred million. Consider it damages for sleeping with you four years ago! Donât bother me ever again!â
With that, she turned and stormed off.
Li Shaolingâs face grew ever colder as he stared at the zeroes on the cheque. Irritated, the corner of his eye was twitching as he gritted his teeth, squeezing out a word that loses out in elegance.
âShit!â
In his twenty-eight years alive, he was actually being chased off by a woman with money.
It was too embarrassing!
Back in her office, Ji Weixi started to stuff herself with hamburger, feeling evermore pleasant.
She didnât know what Li Shaoling was feeling, but it was fine as long as she was happy.
The little one handed her a glass of water. âMommy, slow down. Donât choke.â
Ji Weixi gathered her into arms and gave him kisses here and there lovingly.
No matter how much she would be paid, there was no way she is giving her adorable, obedient genius son to that old woman!
Thatâs all there was to it.

When work was finished in the evening, Tian Miaomiao packed up and left the office yawning. âXixi,â she said, âI really wanted to go back and sleep with you and Jiajia.â
âA peasant like me shouldnât stay with you, Rich Madam Tian.â Ji Weixi teased.
âXixi, you wouldnât know!â Tian Miaomiao complained tearfully. âThe man upstairs is a gym coach, and he would always be doing the deed with his wife midnight, every night. Iâm going crazy! I might die if this continues!â
Ji Weixi laughed out loud. âWell, you would definitely make the headlines as [The woman who was tormented to death by being single].â
Tian Miaomiao wrung her hand. âXixi, boo-hoo, I shouldnât have left you because of money... I was wrong!â
âAlright, Rich Madam Tian, hurry up and go home,â Ji Weixi replied, not giving face at all. âYou just might get together with some handsome someday.â
Tian Miaomiao left with a long face.
The little one clenched Ji Weixiâs hand then unhappily. âMommy... Are you really leaving Daddy?â
Ji Weixi was left stunned for a moment, but she lowered herself and told him seriously. âMommy canât... accept him at the moment. We didnât see each other for four years, thatâs why... you should...â
âOkay, Mommy~â
The little one interrupted and grinned. âI mustnât want Daddy and not Mommy. I donât understand adults, but I know Mommy will never leave me... So, if I have to choose, Mommy, Iâll only want Mommy and not Daddy!â
He was only four, and yet he could say something like that.
Ji Weixi felt her nose become watery, her tears falling as she pulled him into her arms.
She suddenly felt that she was quite selfish to deny her son a complete family just because she couldnât accept Li Shaoling.
She rubbed off her tears and picked him up. âLetâs go home.â
However, she ran into Mo Nanfeng the moment she got down from the stairs.
There were a variety of colors on his faceâhe had clearly been given a beating.
âWeixi...â
He approached her, but his eyes bulged in shock at the child in her arms just as he was about to speak.
âThat boy... he... he...â
âIf you have something to say, say it.â Ji Weixi said coldly.
âAnd shut up if you donât.â
Mo Nanfengâs eyes looked tearful and melancholic. âWeixi... my father... heâs...â
âWhat about him?â Ji Weixiâs brow tightened.
âCan you stop stuttering? How annoying!â
Mo Bin, Mo Nanfengâs father had been nice to Ji Weixi in her younger days, treating others with kindness and carefreeness without the arrogance of the rich.
Mo Nanfeng did not have a mother, and was raised by Mo Binâs himself alone.
Ji Weixi was disgusted by and even hated Mo Nanfeng, but she felt gratitude and respect towards Mo Bin.
To Ji Weixi, he was much better than Ji Xiangdong, her own father.
Still, why would such a nice person have a scumbag son!
Mo Nanfeng lowered his head and sighedâhe sounded vaguely hurt. âWe just found out my father has late-stage lung cancer...â
âWhat?!â Ji Weixi was stunned.
Mo Nanfeng rubbed away the tears at the corner of his eyes. âHe wants to see you before he dies. Would you come with me?â
âWhich hospital? Take me there!â
Without asking anything else, Ji Weixi was ready to rush to the carpark and drive off.
Mo Nanfeng stood in her way. âTake my car. It would save time.â
He had rented a Bentley before he came purposefully, and it would be a waste of money if she didnât see it.
Thinking that he wouldnât dare to do anything to him, Ji Weixi nodded.
