, with only the sound of Fang Yu and Su Changge's footsteps as they walked."The Temple of the Kitchen God... All these houses look the same. How can you tell which one is the Temple of the Kitchen God...Ji Ruomei looked at Fang Yu's smile, feeling both anticipation and unease in her heart.

As a girl from a secular merchant family, she had a natural talent for both learning and business.

But in terms of martial arts cultivation, it was completely blank.

...And Fang Yu's strength... even if placed in the martial arts world, it is an existence that transcends all levels and stands at the very top.

"Mr. Fang, if... I seem rather dim-witted... please forgive me," Ji Rumei said, biting her red lip.

"Don't worry, I know you have no knowledge of the way of cultivation for now." Fang Yu said, "I won't pour a lot of knowledge into you at once, I will take it step by step."

"That's good then." Ji Rumei breathed a sigh of relief, saying.

"But if you want to become a monk, you have to give up some things temporarily," Fang Yu said. "You have to live in my big mansion in Beidu for a while, during this time... all your affairs in Jiangnan have to be handled by others."

Hearing this, Ji Ruomei's beautiful eyes flickered, obviously a little hesitant.

As Jidongshan gradually grew old and had no children, he gradually handed over the core affairs of the Ji family to Ji Ruimei.

Ji Ru Mei left Jiangnan at this time, and had to hand over all affairs to her father Ji Dong Shan…

This put even more pressure on Ji Dongshan, and his plans for Ji Rumei to inherit the family business... also had to be put on hold.

"Mr. Fang, I need to discuss this with my father…" Ji Rumei thought for a moment, then said.

"Of course." Fang Yu nodded in response.

He kept observing Ji Rumei's expression as she spoke.

If we consider Ji Ruimei as another Leng Xinshuang, that would be quite interesting.

Because of the different years they were born in, the things they came into contact with were completely different, so their personalities also differed greatly.

Leng Xun is bold, strong-willed, and even possesses a kind of carefree spirit that most women lack.

And Ji Rumei was even more sensitive, with delicate skin and a tendency to blush easily.

These two personalities can be said to be at opposite extremes.

But according to Leng Xinshuang's own words, the two extreme personalities... are essentially her.

This situation is nothing short of magical.

However, in recent years, Fang Yu has seen all kinds of magical and extraordinary things that far surpass human understanding from thousands of years ago.

So, he is not surprised now, nor does he rush to seek answers.

"Mr. Fang... please have a seat for a moment. I'm going to contact my father and discuss this matter with him." Ji Ruomei said, standing up.

"Good." Fang Yu nodded.

Ji Ru Mei immediately turned and went upstairs.

Fang Yu sat alone on the sofa in the hall.

In a short while, the stewardess surnamed Chen, who was addressed as "Auntie Chen" by Ji Ruomei, came over and handed Fang Yu a cup of hot tea.

"Master Fang, may I have a few words with you" Chen Guanjia asked respectfully, looking at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu looked at the butler with some confusion, took the hot tea, and nodded. "Okay."

“I've worked for the Ji family for twenty-three years... I could say I watched Miss grow up.” Chen, the butler, said in a low voice. “Miss’s foster mother, Mrs. Huang, passed away in a car accident when Miss was still young… After that, Miss lost her mother, and Mr. Ji had no intention of remarrying…”

Therefore, the young lady never received maternal care from a young age... This also made her personality somewhat fragile and easily fell into self-blame due to some things... Even if it wasn't her fault.

"This situation has improved in recent years, but…"

"You just said...foster mother!" Fang Yu was stunned and interrupted Chen Butler's words.

"Yes, foster mother." Butler Chen's face stiffened for a moment before he explained, "Mr. Ji is infertile... So, they decided to adopt an orphan as their biological child back then."

"...The little girl, who was barely a year old at the time, was brought back by them."

"Fate… Alas, if Madam Huang hadn't been in that car accident, her family would have been very happy…"

Orphan!

Fang Yu only now realized that Ji Rumei was an orphan!

"I want to ask, about Ji Ru Mei's biological mother and father..." Fang Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guanjia's face clearly showed disgust. He said, "The biological mother and father of the young lady are heartless scoundrels... They abandoned their less than a month-old daughter on the roadside, until she was found by a caregiver working at an orphanage who happened to be passing by... Then she was brought back to the orphanage."

"That means there's no information about her biological parents, right" Fang Yu frowned and asked.

"Yes," Chen Guanjia nodded and said, "Mr. Ji once spent a great deal of manpower and resources trying to find Miss's biological mother and father... but there was no news."

"Speaking of which, Chen the Butler said with relief: “This is a good thing! The young miss is living so well now, why would she want to see those wretched parents! They don't deserve to be her parents at all! Mr. Ji and Mrs. Huang are the ones who are truly her parents!”"

Fang Yu was already lost in thought.

He originally thought Ji Ruimei was the biological daughter of Ji Dongshan and his wife.

Only now did he realize that Ji Rumei was actually an adopted orphan!

Fang Yu was surprised because this matter involved... how Leng Xinshuang appeared!

He originally used the mysterious theory of reincarnation to try to understand how Leng Xiuming reappeared before him.

It seems that reincarnation is not very reasonable now.

Ji Ru Mei was an orphan, and she had no information about her biological parents.

There's a possibility of that.

Ji Ru Mei... actually doesn't have a biological mother or father!

Her appearance... was very likely beyond the scope of biological reproduction, returning to the human world in a special way.

While this method is also mysterious and rare, it's at least more reasonable than reincarnation.

"Alas, Miss was attacked by some elders in Mr. Ji's family when she was young," Chen the steward continued, sighing. "They believed that Mrs. Huang's car accident was bad luck brought to the Ji family by Miss."

They wanted Mr. Ji to transfer Miss to another family in exchange for their safety... But Mr. Ji refused outright.

But for nearly fifteen years after that, the matter became a thorn in the Ji family's side, something they would bring up from time to time to attack Miss… It wasn't until Mr. Ji passed away that it finally died down.

Faced with all sorts of attacks from her family, Miss had always endured them without resistance or rebuttal... She felt that she owed the Ji family, a truly foolish child...

Chen Guanjia's feelings for Ji Rumei were obviously very deep. As he spoke, his eyes became red and he started wiping away tears.

And in this process, Fang Yu also had a clearer understanding of Ji Rumei's growth experience for the first time.

He originally thought that Ji Rumei, who was born into a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, must have lived a good life from childhood to adulthood. But now, hearing what Chen the Butler said... and chaotic.The four priests surrounding the altar once again raised their hands to their chests.They clasped their hands in prayer."Whoosh!"Glowing streams flow, the altar rises once more!It rose to...
