"Master, the Ji family's car is parked outside waiting for Miss Siwei!"
"I see. Invite them in to take a seat," Raymond nodded and said, then looked at Ji Aier who was arranging flowers beside him.
"I've already told them. They said they wouldn't want to disturb and would just wait for Miss Siwei at the door."
"I'm a bit scared!" Ji Aier stopped what she was doing, and the look of fear was clearly visible on her face.
"Are you scared of seeing Ji En, or do you have a guilty conscience?" Raymond asked, looking down into Ji Aier's eyes.
"Of course not a guilty conscience!" Ji Aier said a bit agitatedly. How could she have a guilty conscience? She didn't plan all of this!
"Then that's good. If you go back to Ji En with this expression, then Ji En will be even more suspicious of you. Don't be afraid. Believe that I will always support you!" Raymond touched Ji Aier's head to comfort her, just like an elder brother would do to his naughty little sister.
"It would be great if you were really my elder brother!" Then she could be fearless and not have to worry about Ji En misunderstanding her.
Except for the lack of blood relationship, we are just like real siblings in everything else," Raymond said, looking at Ji Aier.
"Okay. Let's go! I have to be brave!" Ji Aier smiled and then walked out of the villa with Raymond.
At the door of the villa,
"Madam, the president sent us to pick you up and take you back!" Xiao Yu addressed Ji Aier as "Madam" for the first time. He had always called her Ji Aier before.
"Thank you!" Ji Aier said to Xiao Yu, then turned around and bowed deeply to Raymond. "Thank you, brother!" Crystal-clear tears hung at the corners of her eyes.
Raymond smiled faintly at Ji Aier. At this moment, he really wanted to pull her into his arms instead of letting her go back and face so many unknown dangers. But he couldn't do that. He knew very well that only by letting Ji Aier go back could she clear her name.
Ji Aier waved to Raymond and then got into the car.
After Xiao Yu closed the car door for Ji Aier, he shook hands with Raymond to say goodbye and then sat in the front seat. The car slowly drove away from the mid-hill villa.
When Ji Aier got into the car, she saw Ji En sitting inside. The way he was looking at her at the moment made the hair all over her body stand on end. The look in Ji En's eyes when he looked at her was no longer filled with love and tenderness, but with an overwhelming hatred.
She instinctively stepped back, but she was already against the door. And the seats between them and the front seat were also separated by a screen into an independent space.
"Reluctantly saying goodbye to your lover, and then feeling disappointed when you see me, right?" Ji En said in a cold voice.
"It's not like that! Ji En, it's not what you think!" Ji Aier quickly explained.
"Eagerly saying you didn't want to at the wedding scene, and then immediately throwing yourself into your lover's arms! You seem to have forgotten that even without the wedding, your identity is still the young mistress of the Ji family!" Ji En grabbed Ji Aier's hand, pulled her towards him, stared into her eyes, and said each word with a chill.
"Ji En, it's not like that. I was framed! That person told me that if I didn't do this, you wouldn't be able to survive the night. That's why I..." But before she could finish her words, Ji En interrupted her.
"I really almost didn't survive that night. So are you disappointed? I ruined your plan, and you had to change your strategy, let your lover step in, and then you come back to me looking innocent. Very clever!" The way Ji En stroked her hair was more like taking out his hatred.
Ji Aier looked at Ji En and finally understood what Raymond had told her before. All her explanations seemed more like a farce, and Ji En wouldn't believe her.
For a moment, Ji En felt that he had misunderstood Ji Aier because her eyes told him that she was innocent. But he quickly gave up this idea, which he thought was ridiculous.
