Chapter 189 - Payback Time (2) (2/2)

Not only was the World-Termination-Armour now out of their reach, this young girl was actually looking to settle scores with them?

Ji Qiu felt like he had just swallowed something disgusting.

“Ninth Sister, let’s not be hasty. Your Second Uncle had already made a mistake previously—we must reconcile the figures accurately this time or we would really be letting you down. Now that you have returned home, why not just relax and take a break in the capital, and allow Second Uncle and the Ji family accountants time to carefully recalculate the numbers?”

Ji Fengyan raised her eyes toward Ji Mubai, the corners of her lips curving up. She smiled ironically at Ji Mubai. “Brother Mubai, your words do make some sense.”

Ji Mubai returned her smile.

Nevertheless, Ji Fengyan continued. “However, to be honest, I don’t have much experience wrangling with such matters. I just need Oldest Uncle to give me his word on something, that’s all.”

Ji Qiu frowned slightly. As the next head of the house, he had yet to enter into any sort of negotiations with a Junior.

Noticing his father’s expression, Ji Mubai smiled again. “Ninth Sister, why don’t you let us know what kind of promise you are looking for? I am sure my father will agree if it is within reason.”

An imperceptible flash of cunning crossed Ji Fengyan’s eyes. Her face maintained an amiable expression. “It’s not a big deal. I just hope that Oldest Uncle can permit me to use my own things as I deem fit.”

Ji Mubai felt a secret sense of relief. He had worried about what Ji Fengyan would say.

Ji Qiu’s brows relaxed as he recalled that Ji Fengyan’s compound held nothing of value. He reluctantly nodded, giving his assent.

“Could Oldest Uncle please put this down in writing?” Ji Fengyan asked seriously.
