Chapter 19 Even if I don't like it, I can't allow it to be trampled on
For a moment, the originally noisy private room immediately became quiet, and everyone looked meaningfully at Zhao Ningchu who was standing at the door.
Today, Zhao Ningchu is wearing a loose long T-shirt, revealing her straight white legs, and a pair of casual sneakers on her feet. She looks a bit shabby in such a luxurious occasion.
Zhao Ningchu hesitated for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Ji Xiuran, and his eyes fell on the woman sitting next to him.
The two of them were very close to each other, and it seemed that they had an unusual relationship.
"Are you Zhao Ningchu?"
Jiang Nan stood up and walked in front of Zhao Ningchu with enchanting steps, looking her up and down with deep disdain in her eyes.
"You were the one who threatened Xiu Ran to marry you in the first place? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, darling, but I didn't expect that he is very scheming."
Zhao Ningchu raised his eyelids and said softly: "Force him?"
Jiang Nan said with disdain: "Isn't it true? You are despicable enough."
Zhao Ningchu looked at Jiang Nan and guessed something?
The corners of her lips raised slightly and she looked directly at Jiang Nan.
"So what? At least he married me, but what about you? No matter how hard you force Ji Xiuran, he won't even look at you."
One sentence made Jiang Nan's lungs explode with anger.
She had known Ji Xiuran for more than ten years, and thought she would have a chance after the man left two years ago.
But what was the result? She just traveled for a month, and when she came back, Ji Xiuran married another woman.
"Zhao Ningchu, where do you have the courage to talk to me like this? You really think of yourself as Mrs. Ji.
Xiu Ran doesn't like you at all. Believe it or not, even if I slap you now, he won't even look at you."
Zhao Ningchu raised her lips and said something neither salty nor bland.
"You try."
Jiang Nan clenched her back teeth in anger, raised her hand and swung it towards Zhao Ningchu's cheek.
But before he touched Zhao Ningchu's cheek, his wrist was pinched by Su Yang who was standing aside.
"Miss Jiang~"
Jiang Nan glared at Su Yang fiercely: "Su Yang, what are you doing? Let me go."
"Ms. Jiang, since today is Mr. Ji's birthday, don't let any trivial matters disturb your and Mr. Ji's interest."
Jiang Nan heard this and thought about what Su Yang said. When he withdrew his hand, he did not forget to humiliate Zhao Ningchu severely.
"Zhao Ningchu, I really can't believe that you can still charm Xiu Ran's most capable assistant. Please tell me and share what method you used."
Zhao Ningchu ignored her and focused his gaze on Ji Xiuran, who remained silent.
He said with a cold expression: "Mr. Ji, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Ji Xiuran didn't even look at her and told her to get out.
Zhao Ningchu pinched the sides of his clothes tightly with both hands, and his knuckles turned white.
She really shouldn't have any hopes for Ji Xiuran. Instead of asking Ji Xiuran for help, she might as well ask others.
After a while, she turned around and left. When she left, she didn't forget to slam the door hard.
There was a bang and the whole room shook.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Zhao Ningchu would be so bold and dare to show Ji Xiuran's face. Are you crazy?
Everyone present cast their eyes on Ji Xiuran. Seeing his sinister eyes, no one dared to speak for a while.
Ji Xiuran squinted his eyes and stared at the closed door, saying nothing from the beginning to the end.
Jiang Nan cautiously said: "Xiu Ran, I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions just now. I, I just felt too unfair for you."
Ji Xiuran snorted coldly and said calmly: "Oh? For me?"
Jiang Nan froze. After knowing Ji Xiuran for so many years, she still somewhat understood his temperament. Just like now, she looked calm, but she knew that the calm in front of her was only temporary.
"I'm sorry, Xiu Ran."
Jiang Nan said it sincerely, but Ji Xiuran kept the same expression from beginning to end. He stood up from the sofa: "You guys have fun, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he walked toward the door.
Jiang Nan finally waited for this opportunity, how could he let Ji Xiuran leave so easily.
"Are you going after Zhao Ningchu? You spent so much money on her back then, but she was ungrateful and threatened you."
Ji Xiuran's eyes instantly turned cold.
"If it hadn't been for her, you wouldn't be standing here celebrating my birthday today, but instead standing in the Longevity Cemetery."
Jiang Nan's expression froze.
Ji Xiuran continued: "You should be glad that the slap just now didn't hit you. Even if it's something I don't like, I won't just watch it get trampled on."
Facing Ji Xiuran's implicit warning, Jiang Nan immediately panicked.
"Xiu Ran, I was a little impulsive just now. She provoked me on purpose. If she hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have done it.
By the way, didn’t I go on to fight? Looking at how well Su Yang protected her, the two of them must have a shady relationship."
Seeing Ji Xiuran's face getting colder and colder, the people around him were worried that something would happen and quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
"Hey, my President Ji Da, don't hurt the friendship between you for more than ten years just because of a trivial matter. You still don't understand Xiaonan's temper."
"Yes, Xiu Ran, let's stop this matter. It's your birthday, let's have fun."
"You can play by yourself, I'm leaving first."
Ji Xiuran left these words and left the room directly.
Jiang Nan's eyes turned red as she looked at his decisively leaving figure.
The man on the side saw this and sighed silently.
"Jiang Nan, you were impulsive just now. After all, Zhao Ningchu is also Xiu Ran's wife, how could you hit someone?
Think about it, what will be the consequences of your slap?"
Jiang Nan snorted and said nothing.
As a result, she didn't believe that Ji Xiuran would break up with her over that woman.
…
The moment Zhao Ningchu walked out of the club, tears fell uncontrollably from his eyes. Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't find any words of comfort except handing him a handkerchief.
Just as he was racking his brains to think of how to comfort him, Zhao Ningchu took the lead and said, "Assistant Su, you don't have to comfort me. I just need to cry for a while."
After saying that, he walked towards the pavilion beside him and sat on the stone bench.
When Ji Xiuran walked out, he saw the girl sitting in the pavilion from a distance.
He narrowed his eagle eyes, showing no emotion on his face.
After Su Yang saw Ji Xiuran, he hurried up to greet him.
"Mr. Ji~"
Ji Xiuran ignored him and still stared at someone in the pavilion.
When Su Yang saw this, he thought that Ji Xiuran must have been angry because of Zhao Ningchu's appearance.
"Mr. Ji, don't blame your wife, I brought her here.
Ji Xiuran looked away and glanced at him coldly: "What? Are you afraid of what I will do to her?"
Su Yang felt cold all over after hearing this, and quickly said: "No, I just hope you won't quarrel because of this little misunderstanding."
Ji Xiuran didn't speak, and Su Yang didn't dare to say anything now. He stood quietly beside Ji Xiuran, waiting for him to speak.
After a while, Ji Xiuran raised her thin lips and asked, "What does she want from me?"
"I don't know about this either. When she called me, I sounded quite anxious. I thought it was urgent so I sent her the address."
"Did he call you?"
Su Yang nodded truthfully: "Yes."
"She calls you often?"
At this time, Su Yang finally understood the meaning of Ji Xiuran's words, and explained with a strong desire to survive: "No, you usually call me only when you can't be contacted. We rarely contact you on weekdays."
Ji Xiuran looked up at him and said with an indifferent expression: "Su Yang, don't think about things that don't belong to you, do you understand?"
Su Yang was stunned for half a second, then nodded slightly: "Yes, Mr. Ji."
"Send her home."
"What about you? Aren't you going back?"
Ji Xiuran didn't answer and walked directly towards the club.
Looking at Ji Xiuran's leaving figure, Su Yang sighed silently.
These two couples are very difficult to deal with.
Just when Su Yang was thinking about how to persuade Zhao Ningchu to go back, she suddenly stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
Except for the slight redness of her eyes, there was no change of emotion on her face.
"Assistant Su, I'm going back first. Thank you for today."
"Madam, let me see it off for you. Mr. Ji asked me to see it off for you. He said he was worried about you going back alone."
Su Yang deliberately talked about Ji Xiuran, hoping that Zhao Ningchu would feel better.
But even after hearing these words, the emotion on Zhao Ningchu's face did not change at all, and was still cold.
"Sorry to trouble you."
After saying that, he walked towards the stone steps.
The first thing she did when she returned to the villa was that Zhao Ningchu contacted all her contacts and asked for help in adjusting the surveillance. However, no one could clearly agree to her request and they were all perfunctory.
Zhao Ningchu couldn't help but think that the prince of Jinyu Group, Sheng Linyu, was a classmate in the same class as him.
It's just that the two have always been incompatible, but she knew that Sheng Linyu had always wanted to pursue Gu Ran, but Gu Ran ignored him at all.
So she took out her mobile phone and started a video chat with Gu Ran.
"Hello……"
"Ran Ran, can you do me a favor? I'm a little urgent."
"What's wrong? Say"
"Can you help me make an appointment with Sheng Linyu? I have something I want to ask him for help with?"
Hearing this, Gu Ran was stunned for half a second and seemed a little reluctant: "Achu, why are you looking for that guy? He is not a good person."
"Oh, just help me. Don't worry, I will take care of it."
"Okay, let me try."
When Gu Ran heard what Zhao Ningchu said, she hung up the video and went to contact Sheng Linyu.
At night, when Zhao Ningchu was sleeping, she always felt pain in her wound. The pain was so unbearable that she had to get up for a checkup.
Because it was on the buttocks, it was very inconvenient. She walked to the dressing table and looked at the wound through the mirror.
There was some yellowish blood oozing out from the place where the stitches were originally stitched, which seemed like an accidental infection.
She picked up the tissue beside her and gently wiped the blood on it, grinning in pain and wailing.
When Ji Xiuran came in, he saw the girl standing in front of the mirror, sticking out her buttocks, and treating her wounds with difficulty.
