Some things only looked at the surface, but the more you looked, the darker it would get. It was like seeing a person with a bloody knife in his hand and a dead person lying beside him. It meant that he was destined to become the murderer.

Even if the truth was deliberately placed in your hands, even if you told everyone the truth, no one would believe it because people believed most in their eyes.

Breakfast time.

"Big Brother Yi Xi, what's wrong with your mouth?" Ji Xue screamed, making Ji Ye and the servants look at Ji Yixi one after the other.

There was indeed a dark red bruise at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious on his handsome face, as if he had fought with someone.

"Nothing, I accidentally bumped into a corner of the table." Ji Yixi randomly found an excuse to explain.

Ji Ye frowned. Corner of the table? "Yi Xi, how could you be so careless? Don't cross the table, men need to be magnanimous," he hinted.

"Yeah. "I was too careless." Ji Yixiu answered absent-mindedly without even raising her head or looking at Ji Ye.

Ji Ye could clearly feel his coldness. Did he have any dissatisfaction with him? Or was it out of character?

From the moment they arrived here, they had never been close to him. However, he was his nephew, the eldest grandson of the Ji Clan. He had reasons and responsibilities to properly educate him, so it was normal for him to have a fight with someone.

If that was the case, then Ji Ye didn't really matter.

"This is really strange, Miss Li actually said something like this."

"Don't talk nonsense."

He did not know who it was, but the servant asked in a low voice and the other person quickly stopped him. The voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly in the quiet restaurant.

The knives and forks in the three men's hands clearly paused for a moment.

Ji Ye's expression was sullen. Ji Yixi was eating his breakfast as if it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't have much of a reaction.

Ji Xue exaggeratedly pretended to be angry, "Big Brother Yi Xi, what exactly is going on?"

"What?" Ji Yixi asked in confusion. He lazily raised his head and looked at Ji Xue, who was sitting opposite him, restless. Why was Ji Xue acting so abnormal today? Perhaps she knew something. She was not someone who could be trifled with.

Pretend so. Let's see how long you can keep it up. Ji Xue sneered in her heart. On the surface, she still looked innocent as she asked, "Why is it that Li Li also had the corner of his mouth split? Could it be that he also knocked on the table?" She looked at Ji Ye and doubtfully said, "Uncle, this table is really strange. Within one day, I knocked down two people. I will definitely change it some other day!"

She gnashed her teeth in anger at the thought of what might have happened to them last night.

Ji Yixi still looked casual as she wiped the corner of her mouth and said indifferently, "Whatever. It's fine as long as it's snow."

Ji Xue was so angry that she didn't know what to say. However, on the surface, she continued to smile.

"Go get Ji Li!" Ji Ye said coldly. His eyes were filled with coldness.

"Yes."

Ji Li had already eaten breakfast and was waiting at the door. He was still feeling weird when he saw the servant calling her. When he heard that her uncle told her to go to the restaurant, he was both happy and scared.

Ever since her heart had been cleared, she could no longer escape. Even if she denied it ten thousand times, it would be useless.

Ji Li jogged into the restaurant. He saw his uncle's displeased face, Ji Xue's sneering face and Ji Yixi's back.

"Uncle, did you need me for something?" She was afraid of him. Every time she spoke to him, she would not dare to make a sound, but she still wanted to see him very much. Now, she finally understood why.

Ji Ye turned his head and looked at her face. His gaze moved all the way down to the bruise on the right corner of his mouth.

He indifferently asked, "What's going on at the corner of his mouth?" His voice was calm, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. At the same time, he cast a sidelong glance at Ji Yixi, wanting to see his reaction.

Ji Yixi was finally no longer indifferent. He secretly clenched his fork.
