Chapter 20

The Ji family doesn’t have a rule of not talking while eating. The main person trying to liven up the atmosphere at the table is Ji Yao. However, she would cough a few times while speaking, which made people feel sorry for her.

Ji Jing looked at Ji Yao’s pale face and remembered her plan to make talismans for protection. Although the other members of the Ji family always targeted her because of Ji Yao, Ji Yao herself seemed to have done nothing against her. Since she was going to make talismans, she decided to make more at once and give them to the other members of the Ji family as well.

Ji Ming, Ji Yao, Yun Yue, and also…Ji Ling. Ji Jing planned in her mind.

As for the other three people, they treated her like a thorn in their side, even though Ji Jing couldn’t figure out where she offended them. But she had no intention of treating them kindly.

Fortunately, Lin Shi’s 200,000 yuan had arrived. Buying some gifts of equivalent value would be enough.

As for the brothers she had not met yet, she would make plans when she saw them.

“Ji Jing, Yao Yao is calling you,” Ji Yi’s unhappy voice interrupted Ji Jing’s thoughts.

“What?” Ji Jing snapped out of it and realized that everyone at the table was looking at her. “Sorry, I didn’t hear.”

Ji Yi snorted, “Did you really not hear or were you pretending?”

Ji Hui’s expression was also not good. They all thought that Ji Jing was ignoring Ji Yao’s words on purpose.

Ji Yao seemed embarrassed for causing a topic but still stopped Ji Yi, “Brother, don’t say that.”

“Just now Yao Yao asked about your school,” Ji Ming came to mediate, “Since you’re back home, Jing Jing, do you want to transfer to our school? C City has good education resources.”

Yun Yue also said, “Yes, Yao Yao is in the international class at C City Third Middle School. If you transfer here, Yao Yao can have a companion.”

Ji Jing did not refuse, “Sure, I can transfer. It’s fine with me. Because of the many affairs of the Taoist temple, most of them will rely on me to make decisions after the temple master is injured. I don’t spend much time at school.”

The school’s teachers also knew her situation and only required her to attend exams and maintain a minimum attendance rate of two days per week. As long as her grades were not too bad and didn’t drag down the class average, it was okay.

Ji Yao suppressed her grievances from earlier and regained her interest, “That’s great. Will Sister Jing Jing be in the same grade as me?”

Ji Jing said, “I’ll be a sophomore next semester.”

Ji Jing started school late, and although she was almost eighteen years old, she was a grade lower than her peers.

“That’s great,” Ji Ming became happy. He really hoped that his two daughters could get along well. “How about being in the same class as Yao Yao?”

Yun Yue also agreed, “Yes, that’s perfect.”

“No way!” Ji Yi opposed directly.

If Ji Jing and Yao Yao were together, wouldn’t they bully Yao Yao to death?

But he opened his mouth and Ji Ming and Yun Yue were present, so he couldn’t say it directly.

“The international class has high scores,” Ji Hui also had the same idea. He added on behalf of Ji Yi, “Ji…Jing Jing may not be able to do well. It’s better to read the regular class.”

Ji Jing raised her eyebrows. Ji Hui didn’t like her very much, but he called her so intimately now, looking like he really cared about her. The reason behind it was not hard to guess. He was afraid that she would target Ji Yao.

Except for Ji Ming, all the brothers in the Ji family seemed to have some sort of “Ji Yao delusional disorder”? Ji Jing thought sarcastically.

After hearing Ji Hui’s words, Ji Ming hesitated too. “Jing Jing, how were your grades in the class before? They should be pretty good, right?”

Ji Jing was too lazy to deal with the Ji family, so she followed Ji Hui’s words and said, “Above average, not particularly good.”

In fact, Ji Jing’s grades were pretty good, especially in Chinese, math, and geography. Although she grew up in the Taoist temple, Ji Jing’s education enlightenment was not later than her peers.

Taoist deduction relied on mathematics, and combined with her childhood immersed in ancient books, she could always get full marks for the ancient texts that others said were “dependent on luck.”

Geography was even more so. She had traveled with the temple master to see the feng shui of major mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas in China since she was young. She had long since integrated all her knowledge of geography.

However, she wasn’t good at physics and politics in her first year of high school, so her total score was dragged down a bit.

Seeing this, Ji Yao encouraged her, “It’s okay. I have materials here that can help Sister Jing Jing with her studies!”

The Ji family had high expectations for their younger generations. Even Ji Ying, who had an artistic background and entered the entertainment industry, had good grades in her cultural courses. In Ji Yao’s eyes, being above average was just a disguise for not doing well, so she wanted her to take the exam.

There can only be disappointment when there is hope. If she fails the exam, her parents will be even more disappointed!

Thinking of this, Ji Yao even more hoped that Ji Jing would participate in the international class exam. “The exam is really not difficult. Sister Jing Jing can definitely do it!”
