Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Who are you to dare to trespass into the Ji Family?

Ji Family’s villa.

Ji Yunxiang was eating dinner in the dining room when a group of bodyguards dressed in black uniforms suddenly stormed in. Startled, her chopsticks slipped from her hand, clattering onto the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound.

Ji Yunxiang’s face turned pale as she demanded, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Ji Family’s estate? Do you know..."

Her words abruptly stopped when she saw the man who followed closely behind and stepped in.

Gu Moqian arrived amidst the storm, moving perhaps too hastily to even open an umbrella. His dark suit and jet-black short hair were drenched by the rain, yet this did nothing to diminish his cold, noble demeanor. On the contrary, the dangerous aura emanating from him became even more intense.

Ji Yunxiang’s heart inexplicably raced, her fingers slowly curling into a fist.

Ji Shanshan, upon noticing Gu Moqian’s stern expression, felt a chill run down her spine and secretly tugged at her mother’s sleeve. She exchanged a silent look with her.

Could it be that Mr. Gu has already uncovered something?

Ji Yunxiang signaled her daughter with her eyes to remain calm. She then plastered on a smile, moving closer to Gu Moqian as she said, "Mr. Gu, what brings you here so suddenly? You didn’t even give us prior notice. Have you had dinner? Shall I ask the servants to set a place for you?"
