The system was also very curious about this question.
【I don't know, in the original text, Ji Nian was disfigured on the third day, and the female lead was brought to the house】
【The original owner, who accidentally found out about this, secretly ran out, and the female lead was startled by her face wrapped in blood-soaked gauze】
【The nanny who was brought along to take care of the female lead at the time kicked her directly, and the bodyguards dragged the original owner away】
Ji Nian narrowed her eyes.
This nanny doesn't sound like a good person.
【Three days have already passed, and the female lead still hasn't come, my plan is not going well】
Although she doesn't have much affection for Ji Tingzhou, she has successfully gained his attention, and even if the female lead comes later, her treatment won't be as miserable as in the original plot.
At least her life is secure, and she can leave the Ji family after going to university.
Having made up her mind, Ji Nian decided to subtly hint to her careless and irresponsible father that he had forgotten such a big matter.
After playing with the dog for a while, it was soon dinner time.
Ji Nian looked around, as if searching for someone.
Ji Tingzhou noticed her gaze, took a few steps to the side, and increased the distance between them, asking warily, "Did you wet your pants?"
Ji Nian: "………"
I didn't think about it before, but now I want to poop on your face.
Zhiliao coughed next to her: "Miss, who are you looking for?"
Ji Nian went to hug her leg and rubbed against it: "Sister Zhiliao, where is Brother Wei Yang?"
My dear sister Zhiliao, you really understand me. I want to marry her. Wuu wuu wuu.
The system mercilessly interrupted: 【Unfortunately, she's straight and likes men】
Ji Nian angrily retorted: 【Please return my British Museum artifacts for free!】
The system: 【………】
On the other side, Ji Tingzhou watched Ji Nian happily sticking to Zhiliao, his gaze sharp, as if he wanted to pull her away.
Ji Nian looked back at her father with her innocent emerald-green eyes.
【You clean freak, what are you looking at, Zhiliao is mine!】
The system: Fortunately, they can't read minds
Wei Yang hadn't appeared recently; he had taken leave to deal with some personal matters.
Unlike Zhiliao and Ji Tingzhou, who had lost their parents early, Wei Yang still had family.
He occasionally took leave and disappeared for a few days, and they were used to it.
Just as they were thinking about how to explain this to Ji Nian, the child said: "Is he going to pick up the eldest young lady?"
Zhiliao was stunned.
What eldest young lady?
Ji Tingzhou quickly reacted, walked over, and swiftly picked Ji Nian up from Zhiliao.
"How do you know?"
Ji Nian, with her feet dangling in the air and her hands empty, hid her dissatisfaction and looked up at the culprit: "Everyone says that the head of the family will bring back the adopted daughter as his own, and she will be the eldest young lady from now on."
Ji Tingzhou had indeed thought about this before, as he owed Shen Rushan.
But now.
Looking at Ji Nian's serious and confident face, the father and daughter, who looked identical, stared at each other, and Ji Tingzhou spoke first: "Do you think so too?"
In fact, asking this question was meaningless, as it was Ji Tingzhou who had neglected and even wanted to kill Ji Nian.
Given that the child was young and lacked judgment, it was natural for her to believe it.
Ji Nian also nodded and even asked: "When will the eldest young lady come?"
She, who was the real eldest young lady, was completely unaware of being replaced.
So naive, saying nice things to everyone, she would be bullied to death in the future.
Ji Tingzhou was so angry that he pinched her cheeks, which had little flesh.
Except for this face, she was nothing like him.
If life were a book, Ji Tingzhou's would be titled "Rebirth: I Want to Take Back Everything That's Mine"
While Ji Nian's would be "The Naive Little Fool and Her Mimi Shrimp Chips"
Sensing Ji Tingzhou's emotions, Ji Nian thought, well, I guess I'm not worthy of being mentioned.
So protective, the plot hasn't even started, and she's already cherished.
Eighty-eight nuclear warheads alert.
“Head of the family, when the eldest young lady comes, can I still eat delicious food, sweet desserts, and hug my sweet Zhiliao sister?”
She seemed panicked, having heard many times that "the head of the family will completely abandon you once the adopted daughter is brought back."
Zhiliao felt heartbroken and wanted to go over and hug her.
But with Ji Tingzhou, the biological father, still there, she didn't move.
If I don't give you food, you'll scream 'gou gou da', it's too noisy.
Ji Tingzhou didn't know when he had crouched down, his scarred fingers tapping Ji Nian's forehead.
"Eat your food, don't have so many thoughts."
Ji Nian covered her forehead with her little hands to stop him, indicating she understood, and with the promise of being well-fed in the future, she smiled, showing her incomplete teeth: "Okay, thank you, head of the family."
Then her eyes darted: "Then the eldest young lady…"
Ji Tingzhou sneered: "Say 'eldest young lady' one more time, and you won't get any candy."
Ji Nian immediately covered her mouth.
Oh no, the scumbag dad has learned to threaten her.
Ji Tingzhou had originally planned to bring the girl over, but it was delayed by Ji Nian these past few days. Since she mentioned it,
tomorrow he would send her over.
He absolutely didn't admit it was because of what he read in "Teach You How to Be a Good Dad with Brains": 'Children need other children.'
He wasn't planning to be a good dad anyway.
Having said that, Zhiliao quickly called Ji Tingzhou's secretary: "Hello, Zuo Yi…"
Ji Nian, who was eavesdropping nearby: 【Zuo Yi?】
【Is his brother called Zuo Zero?】
Confirming that the female lead would come tomorrow, Ji Nian felt relieved.
Wearing her chicken onesie pajamas, she swayed and was about to go to bed.
She had been sleeping in Ji Tingzhou's room these past few days, but Zhiliao had prepared another room for her, filled with clothes and accessories in Ji Nian's size.
There were also cute dolls on the bed, though she was a bit disappointed with the room's decor, which wasn't very child-friendly, and had planned to privately contact a designer to renovate Ji Nian's room.
Ji Nian, completely unaware of this, felt that having a place to sleep was already great.
She trotted to her room and stretched.
"Finally, I can sleep without any worries!"
No pain, comfortable pajamas, soft bed, not hungry, no need to pee, sleep!
As Ji Nian snuggled into bed and closed her eyes.
In another room.
Ji Tingzhou, who had been waiting for Ji Nian to return, opened his eyes.
"So slow……"
He wanted to sleep, but his mind was clear, with no trace of drowsiness.
Just as Ji Nian fell asleep, she suddenly heard her room door open.
Before she could open her eyes, she was picked up, blanket and all.
She drowsily opened her eyes and saw a slender, smooth jawline.
Without thinking, she slapped it with a 'bang' sound.
"You dog."
Ji Tingzhou: ?
