Ji Shengli followed his colleague to get the money, but his eyes fell on Li Jiaojiao and asked, "Ji Luo, is this your friend?"

"High school classmate." Ji Luo replied calmly.

Li Jiaojiao helped them get the buns, smiled at them politely and distantly, and didn't say much else.

Ji Shengli took the buns and ate them. They tasted really good. He chatted with her: "I heard about the Zhou family. Where do you and Zhou Rongyan live now?"

"Rent a house in the county town." Ji Luo had no intention of telling him the address.

Ji Shengli also knew the rules and didn't ask any questions. She hadn't seen her for about a week. Her complexion was much rosier, her skin was fairer, and she had some flesh on her face. It was obvious that she was living a good life these days.

He went back home two days ago and listened to what his mother said about the Zhou family. He thought that Zhou Rongyan was as decisive and ruthless to the Zhou family as Ji Luo was to the Ji family. At that time, he sighed in his heart that the two had similar tempers.

"Did you make these breakfast noodles, or sell them for your classmates?" Ji Shengli asked again.

"I did it."

Ji Luo replied, his hands were not idle, and he was taking them to other customers neatly.

The original owner used to cook a lot of food at home, and the taste was average, not much different from what others cooked. Ji Shengli ate a lot, but he had never eaten the pasta she made.

The taste of these noodles today is incredible. They are better than those in state-owned restaurants. They are fluffy and soft. They also look very good. Each steamed bun is evenly made and looks good.

Seeing that she had the skills to sell so many pieces early and earn a lot of money every day, Ji Shengli hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly said: "The third aunt and the others have gone home. She often goes there during this time." She's running around the county town, so you usually avoid her when selling goods."

He suddenly showed his goodwill, and Ji Luo glanced at him, unable to guess the reason for his goodwill.

No matter what the reason was, Ji Luo didn't want to owe him any favors. She stood up slowly and said in a calm tone: "Brother Shengli, I have severed ties with the Ji family. I shouldn't have gotten involved in the Ji family's affairs, but you kindly reminded me just now. For your sake, I would also like to give you a kind reminder."

"What are you going to say?" Ji Shengli looked serious.

"Except for Ji Meini, Tao Lan's relative who works as a cadre in the county has never been seen by anyone else in the Ji family, including Ji Sanlin and his son."

"Before you came to work in the county, Tao Lan didn't want to ask relatives to help you. I thought she didn't want to use her connections on outsiders and wanted to leave them to her own children."

"She usually brags about this relative's ability at home. He is really kind to mother and daughter. You have seen the gifts during holidays. But when Ji Meini became an adult, this relative did not help arrange work. Instead, they want to shamelessly steal my job."

"You know what happened recently. They were taken in turns by the Public Security Bureau for investigation, but Tao Lan, a relative, didn't help. Don't you think this is strange?"

Ji Shengli had never thought about this before. When he was working, after his third aunt ruthlessly refused to help, he never paid attention to her relatives' affairs.

Now that Ji Luo said this, he had some suspicions in his mind and frowned: "You mean, the Tao family doesn't have such a relative at all. She made up such a person and then lied to the family?"

"The gifts that mother and daughter receive every year are not something that ordinary people can give. Even if Tao Lan spends money to buy them, some things cannot be bought. So this person must exist and is not made up. He is just But it’s hard to say whether they are relatives or not.”

Ji Luo has never investigated, nor is she interested in doing so. She told him her suspicions and speculations today, just to repay his sudden show of kindness.

"What do you mean?" Ji Shengli narrowed his eyes.

"Since the relatives of the Tao family are so capable, why don't they help the Tao family but instead help a married daughter of the Tao family?"

"If her relative has a good relationship with Tao Lan and has no contact with the Tao family, then why did the other party only see Ji Meini but not Ji Wenwu and Ji Shuangquan?"

"Tao Lan scolded Ji Sanlin all day long at home, calling him a coward and despising him for not being able to make money. She has relatives who are cadres. Under normal circumstances, she should ask them to help arrange a job for Ji Sanlin. But she didn't do that."

"When Ji Sanlin, father and son, wanted to go with her to meet her relative, she repeatedly made excuses to refuse, not allowing them to meet each other, and only took Jimi Ni along every time. Don't you think this is interesting?"

"Also, you should also understand the character of the Tao family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are vampires, right? The Tao family has such a powerful and wealthy relative. Will they try their best to suck each other's blood? "

"But the Tao family didn't go to suck blood. Instead, they often came to Ji's house to poop and suck blood. They didn't mind three melons and two dates. Don't you think it's strange?"

Ji Luo asked a series of questions. Seeing that his brows were frowning more and more, he should be recalling some details and continue to guide him step by step: "Tao Lan and her daughter have been busy recently. When Ji Minni was fired from the sugar factory, her relatives did not step in to suppress her. According to the news, when the mother and daughter were taken away for education, they did not come out to say hello or anything."

"Do you think her relative is unwilling to help, or is unable to help, or perhaps wants to help but is no longer able to help?"

When the last words fell into his ears, Ji Shengli frowned suddenly, and when he looked into her clear and lively eyes, he suddenly understood something.

Seeing that he had guessed, Ji Luo added: "I don't know their true relationship, but I think it will be interesting once it is revealed."

After saying that, there was nothing else to say. Someone happened to come over to buy steamed buns again, and she immediately squatted down to receive the customers.

Ji Shengli didn't stay here any longer and turned around to follow his colleagues.

"Ji Shengli, is she your cousin? Are you dating?"

Ji Shengli was thinking about the mess at home, but the colleague next to him was concerned about Ji Luo's personal affairs, and his eyes were still shining at this time.

Ji Shengli knew what he was thinking, and said helplessly: "Don't think about it, she is married, and the man is an active military officer."

"She's married."

His colleague sounded a little pity and opened his mouth to continue: "To be honest, your cousin is really beautiful. When we went to buy her buns yesterday, she was very polite and kind. I saw that she returned The little beggar passing by gave me buns to eat.”

Ji Shengli looked back at Ji Luo, who was still selling goods. She had changed a lot recently. She was completely different from before. However, he did not suspect that she had changed her mind. He only thought that she was the one she used to be at home. Deliberately pretending to be honest and weak.

After they walked away, Li Jiaojiao took a moment to ask Ji Shengli about it, "Ji Luo, was that person just now your cousin?"

"Well, Ji's grandson, uncle's son, works at the agricultural technology station." Ji Luo only gave a brief introduction and didn't say much else.

"He seems to be a little better than your family."

Li Jiaojiao also had a good impression of him because of his previous reminder.

"Maybe."

Ji Luo didn't know what Ji Shengli was thinking. Whether he had pure good intentions or had other ideas, she would never interact with the Ji family again.
