Their expressions changed.
Everyone in the Ji family was impatient, but Ji Jing’s heart skipped a beat. An auction? Was this the banquet that Ming Ze had reminded her of?
“Boring.” Ji Mu and Ji Lin immediately said in unison.
The others more or less had the same expression: I don’t want to go.
Who would want to go to that kind of boring charity gala? It was a charity party, but it was actually a social party.
Throughout the entire process, he had to put on a serious expression and socialize with the old foxes of other families. The charity auction was just a formality. He had to auction some strange things that he did not know what to do as charity. It was extremely boring.
“I know none of you want to go, but my parents and I are busy.”Ji Ling slowly put down the cutlery, but his casual words carried weight.
He had expected that his brothers would have such an attitude, which was why he had called them all over for a small family meeting.
“Brother, I can go. I’m willing to help the family.”Ji Yao was the first to raise her hand with a smile on her face, considerately helping Ji Ling share the burden.
In fact, the sad thing was that this event that the Ji brothers scoffed at was an opportunity that she had to seize tightly.
The Ji family did not need to rely on these banquets to expand their connections. There were many people in C City who wanted to take the initiative to curry favor with the Ji family, but Ji Yao was not. She knew that she was not the biological daughter of the Ji family, even though Ji Ming and Yunyue said that she could stay at home in peace.
But what if, what if…What if the Ji family suddenly abandoned her one day?
Ji Yao lowered her eyes, but her attention was still on the corner. Ji Jing, it was all because of her.
Now that Ji Jing was back, her position was even more precarious.
She had to seize every opportunity to expand her network. Even if it was a banquet that others despised, she had to…
‘ Okay, Yaoyao, if you want to go play, then go.” Ji Ling nodded in approval.
Ji Yao was always considerate and willing to do things for everyone. But Ji Yao is young,
“Ji Ying?” Seeing that no one else responded, Ji Ling decided to call out names.
“Me? I have to attend the company’s film premiere ceremony that day. “Ji Ying was caught off-guard by his name, so he casually made up an excuse to avoid it.
The organizers had been running the event for many years and had successfully turned it into an important social event for the upper class. Many aristocratic families in C City would be attending, so it would be unreasonable if the Ji family did not send someone to attend.
However, in the name of charity, it was better to set up a charity fund than to manage the charity funds.
At least he knew where the money was spent. For such a charity gala, it would be impressive if one-third of the money was actually spent. Most of it went into the organizer’s pocket through operations.
Ji Ying was also disgusted by such hypocritical occasions.
“Ji Yi?” Ji Ling looked at Ji Yi faintly.
“I have three surgeries scheduled, so I don’t have time.”Ji Yi also refused. The thought of wasting time on those so-called charity paintings gave him a headache.
” You guys….” Just as Ji Ling’s gaze fell on the twins, he saw them shaking their heads like rattles.
Ji Ling decided to forget about it. If these two went, those who didn’t know would think that the Ji family was extremely dissatisfied with the organizers and was preparing to cause trouble.
“Ji Hui.” Ji Ling looked over. Ji Hui was one of the few who was rarely more mature.
“Cough, Ji Ying’s press conference is at my place, I’ll go and support it.”Ji Hui wiped his hands with a napkin.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yi and the others couldn’t help but smile a little. They didn’t expect that their third brother would lie like this one day. It was really strange. Their refusal was obvious.
Ji Ling slowly raised his cup and took a sip, then said in a deep voice, “Can’t you find someone to replace you at the press conference? Do you have to attend every event in person? Would the surgery affect the night?”
The people at the table couldn’t laugh at the three questions.
“Anyway, I don’t care what you do. You have to choose at least two people tonight.”Ji Ling could understand their unwillingness, but for the sake of the Ji family’s image and interests, his younger brothers could skip classes in the past when Ji Ming or he attended. This time, he really couldn’t tolerate it.
For a moment, the dining table fell into silence.
“I want to go.” Suddenly, a voice from the corner broke the silence..
