Chapter 175: Backstabbing Brother with Fake Gold (13)
Now Xue Heng no longer had any intention of seducing Ji Chutang.
This guy won't respond to any persuasion.
Ji Chutang looked Xue Heng up and down with his eyes slanted, and the disdain in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Xue Heng felt choked up when he saw this.
Neither above nor below.
Ji Chutang really doesn't like this type of man. He is too feminine. Not only does he not have any masculinity, but he also doesn't give anyone a sense of security.
It’s like… someone who becomes a father-in-law without having a son.
Xue Heng had no idea what Ji Chutang was thinking. If he knew, he would not be in the mood to plan anything anymore and would probably have left in a rage.
At this moment, he still hadn't let go of his calculating heart.
Those little thoughts in my stomach are still clamoring and very active.
"Although Miss Ji doesn't like me, I still want to say one more thing. The real daughter of the Ji family has already returned. They may not continue to accept you unconditionally. If Miss Ji can cooperate with me, I can guarantee that I can vent your anger for you and find a way out for you."
Ji Chutang was moved.
Not visible on the face.
Dark thoughts grow uncontrollably.
They could abandon her without hesitation and use her to exchange benefits for marriage. Why couldn't she take revenge on them?
That's fair, isn't it?
Why hesitate? This is the price they have to pay... No... Mom and Dad used to love me... I can't... What can't I do? It's their fault, not yours.
Xue Heng probably saw Ji Chutang's hesitation and was overjoyed, but on the surface he controlled his emotions very well and did not show any sign of abnormality.
Also want to press on the victory.
So he stood by and patiently encouraged her.
"I promise that our cooperation will not have a big impact on the Ji family. It's just that the Ji family has repeatedly opposed us, so we just want to give them a slap in the face and make them lose a little face. It won't have much of an impact."
Ji Chutang actually didn't quite believe what Xue Heng said, but after hearing it, he couldn't help but be shaken.
Then I heard Xue Heng continue to fool people.
"That was a small project. You should also know that our Xue family and Ji family both participated in the bidding for the piece of land in Huayuan."
Ji Chutang didn't react on the surface, his expression was still arrogant, although his eyes were red, like a poor little thing.
But now it still looks like a little swan that never bows its head.
Xue Heng smiled confidently, he felt that he had already won.
"Miss Ji, if you are interested in cooperation, you can contact me. I am always at your service."
"Miss Ji, please find a place to rest and think about it."
After stuffing the business card into Ji Chutang's hand, Xue Heng turned around, got into the car and left.
Ji Chutang stood there, with an unclear expression in his eyes. His palms tightened slightly, and the business card bent slightly.
……
It’s been a busy day.
The Ji family's banquet was over. After seeing off the guests, Ji Huaiqing realized that he had hardly seen Ji Chutang the entire day.
He frowned slightly and asked the butler.
However, the housekeeper also said that he did not see it.
Then I called Ji Chutang, but no one answered. I called several times in succession, but no one answered either.
She called Ji Yuewen who had already returned home, and Ji Yuewen said that he did not see her at home.
Ji Huaiqing felt a surge of worry in his heart, and then he went to check the surveillance footage of the Ji family's old house.
The old house’s surveillance system has continuous voice and high-definition images.
The surveillance footage showed that Ji Chutang was alone at the side at first, and then she was seen walking to the corner, as if she was preparing to leave to rest.
In the following scene, Ji Chutang stopped behind a small garden.
I could hear clearly what the ladies who were chatting said.
"I didn't expect that Ji Chutang was just a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest..."
"Yes, he is usually high and mighty..."
"You still look down on us..."
……
The voices of mocking and discussing were also clearly recorded by the surveillance camera. Ji Chutang's emotions were gloomy in the surveillance camera, and outside the surveillance camera, Ji Huaiqing's face also became gloomy.
His face was ashen.
He seemed to be silent and continued to watch the surveillance video, but people who knew Ji Huaiqing knew that he was angry. Ji Huaiqing was not easily angry.
Even if he encounters intrigue and despicable business practices in the business world, he will not get angry, but will respond very calmly.
In the scene, Ji Chutang did not just walk out and slap those gossipy women in the face.
Instead, he endured it silently.
She has always had a bad temper and would never put herself in a difficult position, but the behavior in the scene was quite unexpected.
But Ji Huaiqing seemed to understand why she was doing this. She didn't want to cause any trouble at Ji Yuewen's family recognition party, nor did she want to embarrass everyone.
Ji Huaiqing felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't want to see Ji Chutang compromising like this when she was not wrong.
He didn't want her to be wronged, he didn't want her to endure it, he hoped she could fight back and not be bullied.
And...even if she was wrong.
Then the mistakes she made should be dealt with correctly, rather than allowing herself to be bullied and compromise.
He would take responsibility for her mistakes.
The child does not teach, the father too.
The eldest brother is like a father. If she makes a mistake, he should take the responsibility.
Besides, she is just a cute child who is a little spoiled. At most, she is a little arrogant. What mistake could she make?
In the surveillance footage, Ji Chutang listened to these people's conversation and then left very calmly and calmly.
Judging from the direction she was going, she was definitely going to rest.
However, when passing by the study, she stopped again. I don't know what happened, but after a while, she changed her mind.
He ran away with red eyes.
The picture shows her running straight to the small door. No one noticed her. She ran out and left the old house.
And that time was still long before the party was over.
In other words, Ji Chutang had been away for a long, long time.
Ji Huaiqing became anxious.
While calling someone to check the surveillance outside, he also asked someone to find Ji Chutang.
After watching the surveillance video, he found that she behaved strangely when she passed by the study and then left.
And who was in the study at that time?
Before Ji Huaiqing could continue thinking, the phone rang and he picked it up.
I was relieved.
Familiar note, bad girl.
I quickly picked up the phone. The voice on the other end was soft, but there was nothing unusual, just the same as usual.
"Brother, what's up? Why are you in such a hurry? My phone is out of battery. I just turned it on."
Ji Huaiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where is it?"
"At home!"
Ji Huaiqing was just about to say that she was lying when he suddenly thought of a place.
"Yunhua Waterside Pavilion?"
"Ah."
Ji Huaiqing suddenly felt some strange emotions in his heart. Yunhua Waterside was a high-end duplex apartment he bought near the company for the convenience of working.
This is also where the two of them have been living these days.
Family?
Ji Huaiqing fell into deep thought, and the housekeeper beside him noticed that the expression on his face changed from anxious to... happy?
Is the corner of the mouth raised? Not sure, let's take a look.
Yes, the arc is becoming more and more obvious.
--------------
Several ladies: ...
Didn't we just say a few words to her behind her back? Why did she accept our bullying even though she had done something wrong?
She stood in front of us and we didn't know who was bullying whom.
System: Is this a husband-friendly filter?
