Chapter 3
“I didn’t mean to reject sister Jing Jing. I know my background, and if sister Jing Jing is back, of course she can come back…” Ji Yao seemed to realize something and quickly waved her hand to explain.
“Yao Yao, don’t think like that,” Ji Ling said, “No matter what, you will always be our precious little sister.”
Ji Ying also quickly agreed, “Yes, that Taoist nun hasn’t been in contact for over ten years. Even if she is really Ji Jing, it’s not possible…”
Ji Ling interrupted Ji Ying, feeling guilty towards Ji Jing. If the Taoist nun really was Ji Jing, she would need to be compensated properly.
“Anyway, Yao Yao, you will always be our sister,” Ji Ying had to change his words. However, he still didn’t fully accept the sudden appearance of a new sister.
“Mm-hmm!” Ji Yao nodded and smiled slightly.
“I wanted to say that it’s the greatest joy for sister Jing Jing to come back, and Dad and Mom have been looking forward to it for a long time. But…what if she’s not sister Jing Jing? Will their expectations turn into double disappointment?” Ji Yao looked worried.
Ji Ying furrowed his brows upon hearing this. “Indeed.”
Ji Ling thought for a moment, “Yao Yao makes sense. Mom and Dad have high expectations for that Taoist nun. If she’s not Ji Jing…that would be a huge blow to Mom.”
Ji Yao nodded in agreement. “I also think so. Mom and Dad are so eager to go to an unfamiliar small county…I’m really worried.”
Ji Ying suggested, “Then, let me and Ji Yi go. Big Brother is busy with the company’s affairs. We’ll go and see the Taoist nun.”
Ji Yi was the sixth son of the Ji family, a talented surgeon who worked in a third-grade hospital not far from the main residence of the Ji family. Therefore, he lived in the Ji family’s residence like Ji Ying.
“I want to go too. I also want to meet Sister Jing Jing,” Ji Yao echoed.
“No,” Ji Ling and Ji Ying refused in unison.
“You’ve just recovered from your illness, and long-distance travel is not good for you,” Ji Ying directly opposed her.
Ji Ling carefully considered the situation. If Ji Ying and Ji Yi went, Ji Ying’s personality was impulsive, and Ji Yi had a modern medical background and was extremely averse to “feudal superstition.” These two people might not be able to communicate well with the Taoist nun. It wasn’t appropriate.
However, he quickly remembered that Ji Hui, his third brother, was returning home this afternoon. Ji Hui managed the entertainment industry of the Ji family and dealt with all kinds of people all year round. He was more stable in character.
Therefore, Ji Ling ordered, “Wait for Ji Hui to come, let him go with the two of you. Yao Yao will stay at home to accompany Dad and Mom, then wait for news.”
“Okay.” Ji Yao obediently nodded her head.
As the eldest brother of the Ji family, Ji Ling always had the final say among his siblings, and Ji Ying didn’t object.
After convincing a few of his brothers, Ji Yao went back to her parents’ room and persuaded them not to rush to meet Sister Jing Jing. It wouldn’t be too late to meet after the paternity test confirmed the relationship.
Although Ji Ming and Yun Yue both wanted to see Ji Jing, but considering that Yun Yue’s heart could not bear the excessive emotional fluctuations, they quickly agreed.
Finally, Ji Hui, Ji Ying, and Ji Yi boarded a private plane and flew to the wild mountain in the southwest.
There was no suitable landing strip on Lingyun Mountain, so the plane landed in the county, and the four of them took a car to the foot of Lingyun Mountain.
Lingyun Mountain was not included in the county’s tourism development project, so there was no mountain climbing trail or road. This meant that the three brothers from the Ji family had to climb the mountain.
Ji Ying’s face turned pale when he saw the shabby mountain road that was laid hundreds of years ago and the endless steps.
“Do we have to climb up there?” Ji Ying couldn’t believe it.
“Yes, young master, there is no other way here.” The driver who came with them was also helpless.
Ji Hui frowned, “There’s no way. This is the only road on the mountain. Let’s go.”
Ji Ying rolled his eyes and eventually set foot on this dirty mountain road. “Brother, do you think she’s really Ji Jing?”
In fact, most people in the Ji family had no impression of Ji Jing.
Because Ji Jing was conceived by Ji Ming and Yun Yue during their travels around the world and was born abroad, she grew up traveling with Ji’s parents until she was two years old.
Ji’s parents’ itinerary was very free and easy. They could be in Europe one day and South America the next. The Ji siblings could not keep up with the news.
Only Ji Ling would briefly see his parents on business trips.
