"When Lebao was born, our family didn't know about her existence, and it wasn't until she was more than three years old that she was sent back to the Ye family after her mother passed away."

After Ye Zhao's explanation, Ji Xiao echoed back and forth, and finally knew why the little boy had the guts to laugh at Le Bao for not having a mother.

When her mother passed away when she was more than three years old, looking at Lebao's small appearance and being so well-behaved, Ji Xiao instantly felt a sense of sadness that she was also a fallen person at the end of the world, she knew too well what it was like for a child who had lost her mother.

Ye Zhao suddenly asked, "Sister Ji Xiao, do you like my father?" ”

Hearing this question, Ji Xiao was stunned for a moment, blushing from her neck to the root of her ears, and without too much explanation, her performance had already given Ye Zhao the answer.

Ye Zhao's eyes flickered, and he asked straight to the point: "I told you about my sister's affairs straightforwardly, and I also want to inquire with you, you and my father ......."

He didn't finish his words, but Ji Xiao understood what he meant.

"Your dad and I are not what you think we are." Ji Xiao smiled a little bitterly, and saluted Ye Zhao with the sake in his hand.

Ye Zhao also picked up the cup in return, and saw Ji Xiao drink the wine in the cup in one gulp, looking at the empty wine glass, his eyes fell into memories in a slight trance.

"I was about seventeen when I first met your father, and my mother had just passed away a year ago, and my father immediately married me to my stepmother."

"It wasn't until the woman entered the door that I found out that when my mother was lingering on the sickbed, he had already cheated, not only did he cheat, but he also registered with the woman shortly after my mother died."

Ji Xiao poured another glass of wine to herself, and slowly told her about the past: "That woman is a powerful character, she doesn't behave in one or two ways, I was still young at the time, and my Taoism is not as deep as her, so I can't fight her." ”

"She suffered a lot of losses at her hands, and the family was not peaceful, and my father threatened to kick me out."

"It was during that time that your father came to stay at my family's winery because of business matters, and I met him at the family dinner."

The rest of the story is very cliché, the rebellious girl deliberately sabotages her father's family banquet for the guests, and the father is furious, but is stopped by the guests.

She pretended to be hard, but in fact she panicked, and after leaving from the family banquet, she received a reprimanding call from her grandmother.

At that time, Ji Xiao's heart was full of resentment and pain of being isolated and helpless, and she wished that she could have thunder now, and directly kill her father and stepmother to avenge her biological mother.

But she doesn't have any extra skills, even her own grandmother is persuading her, the lights go out when people die, but the living people have to continue to live. Don't sin her father to death, or when her younger brothers and sisters are born, she won't have good fruit to eat.

Ji Xiao hated this world at that time, and couldn't understand why adults could scribble the pages of such a thing as deception and betrayal.

The girl who left the family banquet with a hard body, but squatted in the flower garden in the early hours of the night and cried suppressively, and Ye Zhong appeared at this time.

In the middle of the night in a foreign country, he couldn't sleep for a while because of jet lag, and it happened that under the balcony outside the bedroom was where Ji Xiao was squatting and crying.

This is the beginning of the intersection of the two, Ji Xiao did not explain the process in detail, only a general one.

Ye Zhao didn't know how to be on a whim, and after listening to her collapsed outpouring, he actually opened Chrysostom to instruct him how to deal with this situation and how to clean up his stepmother.

Ji Xiao did what he said in disbelief, and it really worked.

After this time, Ji Xiao regarded Ye Zhong as his military advisor, this winery is one of the inheritances left by his mother, and the legal person actually wrote her name, and she can have the right to inherit after she is eighteen years old.

Ye Zhong said that there is no proper exchange of chips in the adult world, and you can't get what you need.

Ji Xiao is an extremely smart girl, she quickly understood the meaning of his words, and with the help of Ye Chong, she successfully got the inheritance of the winery after she became an adult at the age of eighteen.

And took the initiative to give 30% of the shares of the winery to Ye Zhong unconditionally.

Although this small winery is nothing to Ye Chong, it is also his own intention.

In Girlhood, there was such an almost savior-like man, handsome, wise, with maturity and city beyond his peers.

Even if he was more than ten years older than himself, even if he already had five sons, after learning that Ye Chong was single, Ji Xiao still couldn't restrain his admiration and impulsively confessed to Ye Chong.

As a result, Ye Chong rejected her.

He really doesn't like himself, and it is more accurate to say that from the beginning to the end, Ye Chong has never had a half-hearted heart for her.

In the year-long intermittent relationship, Ji Xiao knew quite clearly that Ye Chong's rejection of her was really refusal, not to play with her.

He really didn't have the slightest heart for himself, and he didn't have the slightest love for her.

If she continues to entangle, she may lie on Ye Chong's blacklist.

Ji Xiao only spent one night to let her feelings precipitate, and when the sun rose on the second day, she never mentioned what she confessed again, just as if it hadn't happened.

She didn't want to call Ye Chong by a title like uncle, and she treated Ye Chong as a friend of the same generation.

It's been so many years, although she and Ye Chong don't have frequent contact, they are the only ones who can stay in the Ye family without saying much.

Ji Xiao's story that year was a bit long, and she finished as simple as she could: "I once confessed to your father, but I was rejected, but it's not a big deal, who hasn't liked someone when they were young." ”

"Are you right, Little Five? Cheers! ”

After eating, the waiter led them to the natural hot spring pool in the backyard.

There were men and women on both sides of the hot spring pool, Ji Xiao led Le Bao to change clothes, and Ye Zhao went to the men's pool alone.

Each individual compartment has an indoor and outdoor hot spring pool, but the corridor outside the box is common.

Lebao changed into her yukata and ran to the edge of the pool and carefully slid into the water, the warm hot spring water immediately covered her skin, and she couldn't help but sigh.

After eating and drinking, you can enjoy the baptism of the hot springs, and sleep at night is also a different fragrance.

Lebao leaned against the edge of the pool, relaxing and letting her hands and feet float, with fruit snacks from the waiter.

She picked a grape to eat, and turned her head to see Ji Xiao resting with her eyes closed against the edge of the pool, I don't know if it was the hot spring water or the effect of alcohol, so that there were two faint blush on her white face.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the wind blew through the bare shoulders of the water, and I felt a hint of coolness.

Lebao soaked so much that his fingers were a little wrinkled, and he reluctantly got up from the water.

Ji Xiao also felt that the temperature seemed to drop a little, she drank the wine, and under the influence of the hot spring pool, the alcohol played a role in sleeping, and she hurriedly washed her face.

Lebao had already stood on the edge of the hot spring pool, clumsily wrapping himself with a bath towel.
