Chapter 148 -148: Xiao Ye Seed, What Kind of Seed Is It?
Zhang Yuzhi had begun to weaken, but she didn’t want to be at Lu Xining’s mercy in front of everyone.
She always believed that Lu Xining was nothing more than an orphan girl who had gone bankrupt more than a decade ago. Why should she adopt a high-and-mighty attitude in front of her?
Lu Xining was in no hurry to make Zhang Yuzhi bow her head.
She had plenty of time today.
She had Monkey keep watch by the pool and went to find the three kids, but instead saw her daughter being held in Ji Muye’s arms.
Several maids were crying their lungs out nearby, and there was one particularly delicate-looking maid glancing at Ji Muye with a wronged expression, as if she were looking at a scumbag who had abandoned her.
Lu Xining raised an eyebrow. This man’s new love interest?
Ji Muye had no idea what Lu Xining was thinking. If he did, he would probably be infuriated.
In fact, just over ten minutes earlier,
while Lu Xining was dealing with Zhang Yuzhi, Ji Muye had also learned the whole story from the children.
In terms of personality, Ji Ze was actually the most like Lu Xining.
A tit for tat, he absolutely wouldn’t leave today’s affairs until tomorrow.
As soon as he saw Ji Muye come over, he immediately recounted, without missing a word, what Shen Jibai had done and said.
Even the things Zhang Yuzhi had done and said to Little Dumpling earlier, he didn’t miss a beat.
“Dad, Granny Zhang bullied sister first, that’s why mom taught her a lesson.”
He firmly told Ji Muye, “Dad, Mom wasn’t wrong!”
Ji Muye replied, “Hmm, Dad knows.”
Knowing that his father trusted his mother, some of Ji Ze’s worries eased.
The crowd had already retreated to the other side, not daring to approach the ‘lethal range’ of Lu Xining.
From where Ji Muye stood, he could clearly see Zhang Yuzhi weakening in the water and her eyes pleading for rescue.
Suddenly, the clothes of Little Dumpling held in his arms were tugged.
Ji Muye looked down at her.
Little Dumpling pointed at Zhang Yuzhi, who was floundering in the pool, then at herself.
“She said Nuonuo is Xiao Ye’s seed.”
After that, she looked at him with a curious face and asked, “Uncle, what kind of seed is Xiao Ye?”
Ji Muye’s face darkened upon hearing this, his eyes gathering the dangerous prelude to a storm.
He tousled Little Dumpling’s messily compressed hair under Ji Chao’s suit, and spoke softly, “Nuonuo doesn’t need to know what that word means, because it will never have anything to do with Nuonuo.”
Little Dumpling looked at him, baffled. The words of adults really are so hard to understand.
Ji Muye crouched down holding her, patted Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s shoulders, and praised them, “You did great.”
Both kids blushed with an embarrassed redness on their faces because of his praise.
Ji Muye noticed some swelling on Little Dumpling’s forehead and asked her what had happened.
Little Dumpling immediately climbed out of his arms, walked over to the sofa, and patted it, “Nuonuo sat here.”
She pointed at Zhang Yuzhi and mimicked pushing someone.
Lu Nuonuo, waving her arms and legs, explained what had happened, and although her vocabulary was limited, her actions made it clear to Ji Muye that Zhang Yuzhi had pushed her.
Immediately, Ji Muye called for a doctor to come.
A ripple of concern showed in his eyes as he asked, “Does it hurt a lot?”
Little Dumpling nodded, looking aggrieved.
Ji Muye patted her back in silent comfort, his gaze sweeping coldly towards the two bodyguards standing behind Ji Chao and Ji Ze.
“At the time of Nuonuo’s accident, what were you two doing?”
“Protecting the young masters.”
Their words rang true, but in reality, they had seen Zhang Yuzhi push Lu Nuonuo; they just didn’t intervene.
After all, Zhang Yuzhi was Mr. Ji’s wife, and compared to a girl whose father was unknown, they naturally protected Ji Chao and Ji Ze.
In essence, they were the Ji Family’s treasured golden children.
Seeing through the bodyguards’ guilty faces, Ji Muye called over the old butler and said, “The Ji Family has no room for those who serve no purpose.”
The bodyguard was astonished, “President Ji!”
Seeing the cruelly dismissed bodyguard, the color drained from the faces of the maids who had been bribed with money by Zhang Yuzhi, too afraid to meet Ji Muye’s eyes.
From the maids’ reactions, Ji Muye knew they were not innocent in this matter.
He simply said, “Fire them all.”
The Ji Family paid high salaries and provided good benefits, even the living quarters for servants were better than those of ordinary households.
Hearing his words, the maids panicked.
“President Ji… President Ji! We know we’re wrong, please don’t fire us!”
One maid, whose makeup was clearly more refined than the others, looked up defiantly and said, “I refuse to accept this! Why fire us? We haven’t done anything wrong!”
“We’ve been diligent in taking care of the two young masters, it was just that there were not enough people at the party, so we went to help. President Ji, you can’t dismiss us for that!”
She had spent a lot of money to enter the Ji Family Mansion, all to show her face in front of Ji Muye, hoping to attract this eligible bachelor.
If Ji Muye’s residence had been hiring, she wouldn’t have come to the old house to be a maid.
After months of dirty, tiring work, just as she finally got the chance to see Ji Muye, she was about to be fired—were her previous grievances all for nothing?
“I won’t accept this! President Ji, you can’t bully us workers just because you’re rich and powerful!”
The maid thought of the storylines she’d read in novels, where domineering CEOs always liked resilient female leads.
She was certain that with her figure and looks, she could completely capture the man before her, confident in her ability!
However, Ji Muye didn’t even glance at her, instead, he waved to Yan Dong.
The latter immediately had the maids who had erred removed.
The beautiful maid was stunned. Why was it not like in the novels?
She started to struggle.
The other maids began to struggle as well.
Compared to the small amount of hush money from Zhang Yuzhi, it was naturally the Ji Family’s annual salary that was higher. They didn’t want to lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds, so they began to shift the blame to each other.
“President Ji, it’s not our fault! Madam Ji gave us twenty thousand to leave for twenty minutes. Seeing that the young masters had bodyguards with them, we weren’t too worried.”
“Yes, President Ji, we thought Madam Ji wanted to use this opportunity to bond with the young masters, and besides! We’ve been watching over them the whole time and didn’t see any harm come to them.”
But, they hadn’t expected Zhang Yuzhi to harm Lu Nuonuo, nor did they anticipate how much Ji Muye valued Little Dumpling—a significance that was no less than his care for his own sons, making them even more anxious.
In the end, both the blundering bodyguard and maids were driven out of the Ji Family.
Guests who had earlier come out for the children, as well as the young elites who emerged from the banquet hall, looked at Ji Muye in disbelief, not expecting him to go to such lengths for the little girl.
Today was Old Sir Ji’s birthday, wasn’t Ji Muye’s actions a slap in the old gentleman’s face?
For a wealthy family, causing a scene in front of guests was extremely humiliating.
Yet, Ji Muye seemed indifferent to the Ji Family’s reputation, openly displaying the outcome of the incident for everyone to see.
Zhang Yuzhi, still floundering in the water, seeing that Ji Muye had no intention of saving her, began to desperately cry for help.
Ji Tingran, who had brought her wealthy boyfriend to the old manor for Old Sir Ji’s birthday party, thought there was some arrangement when they saw people gathered on the lawn and obliviously walked over, hand in hand with her boyfriend, a shy smile on her face.
“Mu Cen, today is my grandfather’s birthday, I’ll take you to meet him later.”
Ji Tingran purposely chose today to bring her boyfriend so that in front of everyone, Old Sir Ji would acknowledge her as his granddaughter.
She would prove to Old Sir Ji that she was no less capable than her brother, Ji Muye!
At the same time, she wanted to finalize her relationship with her boyfriend, to marry him and become a true young lady, her hands never tainted by spring water.
But as soon as they reached the lawn, Ji Tingran heard what sounded like her mother’s cries for help.
“Someone, come quick! Save me!”
“Mom—”

Ji Tingran’s eyes trembled, and she hurried over to pull Zhang Yuzhi up, only to be stopped by the Lu Family’s bodyguard.
Ji Tingran shoved them, angrily saying, “What are you doing! Let me go, that’s my mom, I need to save her!”
“Your mother can come up as soon as she apologizes,” said Monkey, his face marked by a scar, looking very stern and frightening when he wasn’t smiling.
The man who had come with Ji Tingran upon seeing Monkey’s face, his pupils contracted sharply, backing away two steps in disbelief, his eyes filled with intense fear and unease.
How could this be! How was he still alive!
