It was already past ten o'clock when Ji Xiuran and Zhao Ningchu returned home.
Ji Xiuran came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and saw Zhao Ningchu lying on his back on the bed, playing with his mobile phone in both hands.
"Wife..."
Ji Xiuran suddenly spoke, and Zhao Ningchu was so frightened that his hands shook, and the phone in his hand fell directly, hitting his front teeth.
A thud.
Zhao Ningchu covered her mouth with her hand and glared at Ji Xiuran with a resentful expression: "Why are you scaring me?"
Because she was covering her mouth, Zhao Ningchu couldn't speak very clearly, and stared at Ji Xiuran with a pair of round eyes.
Ji Xiuran raised his lips and smiled: "What did you do to yourself?"
"No, it hurts so much. My teeth must be bleeding."
Ji Xiuran walked in: "Let me take a look!"
Zhao Ningchu covered her mouth and refused to let go.
Ji Xiuran coaxed softly: "Be good, let me see if it hits you."
After saying that, he reached out to pull Zhao Ningchu's hand away, spread her lips with his fingertips, and examined her carefully.
Zhao Ningchu just stood with her face raised, blinking and asking him about the situation.
Ji Xiuran reached out and pinched Zhao Ningchu's front teeth, and said seriously: "It's a little loose."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she opened his hand and said in panic: "Will it fall off?"
Wouldn't it be ugly if the teeth fell out?
Ji Xiuran chuckled lightly: "Who told you to play with your phone like this? I'll teach you a lesson."
Zhao Ningchu glared at him angrily: "You suddenly scared me, I don't care, you compensate me."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand and hit his chest repeatedly.
Ji Xiuran grabbed her wrist and said in a good mood: "Okay, I'll compensate you!"
Zhao Ningchu snorted angrily, raised her foot and kicked his calf.
"What compensation do you have to pay? If my teeth fall out, I will knock out yours too."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xiuran put his arms around her waist and pushed her down on the bed.
'I will make amends to you right now!'
After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her.
Zhao Ningchu reached out and pushed his head away, unable to hold back her laughter: "Are you brushing your teeth?"
"Have you ever seen such a flexible toothbrush?"
Zhao Ningchu didn't answer him, but pushed him away, then turned over, and the two of them changed their positions, holding his head with both hands.
"If you don't serve me well tonight, I will divorce you."
After saying that, he took the initiative to apply his own red lips.
Ji Xiuran had just finished taking a shower. His whole body was wet and his hair was still dripping with water. In an instant, a large amount of moisture appeared on the sheets.
But the two of them didn't care at all and still pestered each other obsessively.
At this time, the mobile phone placed aside rang inappropriately, breaking the silt in the room.
Zhao Ningchu sat astride Ji Xiuran's waist, propped up her body, and gasped slightly: "Your phone rang."
After saying that, he got up and got out of bed.
Ji Xiuran was extremely depressed. He picked up his cell phone and looked at the caller ID. A chill flashed through his eyes.
In the end, I just threw the phone aside and ignored it.
Zhao Ningchu said curiously: "Who called, why didn't you answer the call?"
"It's not important, let's continue."
After saying that, he reached out to pull Zhao Ningchu, but Zhao Ningchu opened his hand with a slap.
"Who is continuing with you? I'm going to take a shower.
After saying that, Ji Xiuran's phone rang again.
Zhao Ningchu turned to look at him and said with an unhappy look: "Whose phone number is it?"
"unimportant."
Zhao Ningchu stepped forward and looked at him with a serious look on his face: "Is there someone outside?"
Ji Xiuran:......
How is it possible that someone who has been around for a long time has no need to wait until now?
"It's just you outside and inside!"
"Then why didn't you answer the phone? What do you feel guilty about?"
"No, this is from Chen Xinnuan, it's not necessary!"
Speaking of Chen Xinnuan, Zhao Ningchu hesitated for a moment and told Ji Xiuran what happened today.
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he said calmly: "I know!"
"Why do you look like this? You don't believe that your grandma's incident was caused by Chen Xinnuan?"
"I believe otherwise she wouldn't be in a hurry to call me now."
"You know everything?"
"Almost!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
Ji Xiuran sat beside the bed, stretched out his hand and waved to Zhao Ningchu: "Come here!"
Zhao Ningchu walked up to Ji Xiuran obediently and looked at him with her head lowered: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Ji Xiuran reached out and grabbed Zhao Ningchu's waist, holding her on his lap.
Zhao Ningchu rolled her eyes at him: "You just talk, what are you doing?"
Ji Xiuran chuckled and said, "I want to hug you."
"You haven't answered my question yet, what do you want to do with Chen Xinnuan."
"No rush!"
Zhao Ningchu said angrily: "Why? Can't bear to leave?"
"Of course someone will take care of her?"
"Who?? What's wrong?"
"Zhao Zhihao, you know, right?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded slightly: "I know, the prodigal son of my cousin's family."
"On the way back just now, I got the news that Chen Xinnuan beat someone up."
"What? What's going on?"
Ji Xiuran reached out and pinched her waist, and chuckled: "Okay, why are you such a gossip?"
"Tell me! Hurry up!"
Ji Xiuran said nothing and looked up at her.
Zhao Ningchu leaned forward and kissed him on the mouth.
"Okay, hurry up and say it!"
"You just need to know that your cousin will not let her go."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she made a sound and stood up from Ji Xiuran's lap: "Liar! I don't want to pay attention to you."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Ji Xiuran grabbed her wrist and took her directly to the bed.
"What are you doing? I'm going to take a shower?"
Zhao Ningchu was brought to the bed by her, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Recently I found that Xiaobai was unhappy, so I planned to get a sister to come out and play with him."
Zhao Ningchu's cheeks suddenly turned red.
"What are you talking about? Come on, I haven't taken a shower yet?"
"Wait a minute. I'll help you wash it. I'll be delayed in making a baby."
After saying that, without giving Zhao Ningchu any chance to resist, he reached out and turned off the light next to him.
***
on Monday
Early in the morning, Chen Xinnuan arrived at Ji Xiuran's company early, planning to stop by to meet him.
She made countless calls last night, but Ji Xiuran didn't answer any of them.
She had no choice but to come to the door in person.
When I came to the lobby, I saw Su Yang talking to a woman in professional attire.
When Chen Xinnuan saw this, he quickly stepped forward and stopped Su Yang.
"Su Yang."
After Su Yang saw her, his face suddenly darkened.
"Is something wrong, Miss Chen?"
"Has Xiu Ran come to work? I called him many times last night, but he never answered."
Su Yang originally had no good impression of Chen Xinnuan, especially after knowing what this woman had done, he became even more disgusted.
He ignored Chen Xinnuan and said to the woman next to him: "Gu Man, don't you want to buy coffee for Mr. Ji? You go buy it first and wait until noon, then I will hand over the work to you.
"
"OK!"
After the other party left, Su Yang said, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Chen?"
"If something happens, can you take me up to find Xiu Ran?"
Su Yang said in a businesslike tone: "Sorry, you can't see Mr. Ji without an appointment. If Miss Chen wants to see Mr. Ji, she should make an appointment first."
When Chen Xinnuan heard this, the smile on her face suddenly froze. If she hadn't asked for help, she would have turned against her.
A little assistant still dares to show her dignity.
"Su Yang, I just came here because I couldn't get through Xiu Ran's call. Please help me. I'm really..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Yang interrupted: "Ms. Chen, I just said that if you want to see Mr. Ji, make an appointment first. I can't help you."
After saying that, he ignored Chen Xinnuan and walked towards the elevator.
Chen Xinnuan looked at Su Yang's leaving figure and felt very angry.
Hum a little assistant, what are you crazy about?
Chen Xinnuan snorted coldly and left the building. As soon as she walked out, Chen Xinnuan was unwilling to give in.
After thinking about it, I turned around and came to the front desk again.
"Hello, I want to meet your Mr. Ji, my name is Chen Xinnuan."
The front desk of the company looked businesslike: "Hello, do you have an appointment?"
"I called him last night, but he never answered. Maybe he was busy and didn't hear him."
Chen Xinnuan deliberately spoke in an ambiguous manner, and winked at the front desk from time to time.
It's a pity that the front desk of Ji's Group has also been carefully selected and has not changed because of Chen Xinnuan's words.
"Sorry, Miss Chen, you won't be able to see our Mr. Ji without an appointment."
"If you call him now and tell him that I want to see him, he will definitely agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from behind.
"What's wrong?"
The receptionist looked up and saw the woman behind Chen Xinnuan: "Assistant Gu, this Miss Chen wants to see Mr. Ji."
Chen Xinnuan turned his head and was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman behind him.
Isn't this the woman who was with Su Yang before?
The other party obviously still remembered Chen Xinnuan. Thinking of the previous conversation between Su Yang and Chen Xinnuan, he thought that the relationship between Chen Xinnuan and Ji Xiuran was unusual. Then he said politely: "Hello, Miss Chen, I am Mr. Ji."
Secretary Gu Man."
"Assistant Gu, could you please take me to see your President Ji?"
"Of course, you come with me."
After saying that, he took the person upstairs.
Gu Man pushed open the door of Ji Xiuran's office.
"Mr. Ji, Miss Chen is here to see you. We are in the reception area now. When is it convenient for you?"
Su Yang, who was reporting to Ji Xiuran, frowned when he heard this.
He turned to look at Gu Man: "Why did you bring this person here?"
When Gu Man saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
Did you do something wrong?
"Assistant Su, I..."
"Send the person away quickly, Mr. Ji won't see her."
Hearing this, Gu Man spoke tremblingly:
'Yes, I understand.'
After saying that, he was about to leave. Ji Xiuran, who had been silent, said, "Let her in."
Su Yang was a little surprised: "Mr. Ji, you..."
"You guys go out first and let her in."
Su Yang and Gu Man walked out of the office, and Chen Xinnuan walked in.
She didn't wear any makeup today just to make herself look more haggard and pitiful. Then Ji Xiuran would relent and let their family go.
From the moment Chen Xinnuan entered the door, Ji Xiuran didn't raise his eyes to look at her. He kept typing on the computer keyboard with his hands. Chen Xinnuan stepped forward cautiously and said pitifully: "Xiuran, did I disturb you?"
Listening to Chen Xinnuan's tea talk, Ji Xiuran didn't bother to raise his eyelids, and said while working: "Since you know you are disturbing me, why do you come to me?"
As soon as Ji Xiuran finished speaking, Chen Xinnuan felt extremely aggrieved.
"Xiu Ran, please help me! I'm really at my wits end now."
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and then sneered: "Help you, where does Miss Chen get the confidence to think that I will help you?"
Chen Xinnuan's face suddenly turned pale, and tears fell down.
Ji Xiuran said impatiently: "If Miss Chen wants to cry, go out and cry!"
"Xiu Ran, please save my father. If he really goes to jail, our family will be finished."
Ji Xiuran sneered: "Don't Miss Chen know what real-name reporting is?"
When Chen Xinnuan heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at him in disbelief: "You, how could you be so cruel to me?"
"Hard?" Ji Xiuran sneered: "Is this considered cruel? When you hit someone with your car, why didn't you feel that what you did was cruel?"
When Chen Xinnuan heard this, his face suddenly froze.
"you……"
"How do I know?"
Chen Xinnuan didn't say anything, just looked at Ji Xiuran blankly.
Ji Xiuran continued: "I didn't touch you right away because I thought it was too light. Your family's complete disappearance in Yanjing is my ultimate goal."
Chen Xinnuan's eyes widened with disbelief: "You did this to me for Zhao Ningchu, is she so important?"
Chen Xinnuan still can't accept it. Ji Xiuran actually protected her like this, and even planned carefully to avenge Zhao Ningchu, just for today.
"She is my wife. I will not let anyone dare to hurt her. You should not touch my bottom line. You are responsible for all this."
"Ji Xiuran, you are so cruel!"
When Chen Xinnuan said this, his whole body could not stop shaking.
She looked at the man in front of her, and she was originally full of interest, but now, she realized how stupid she was, and she didn't even know how stupid she was being fooled.
"Ms. Chen, if you have nothing to do, leave!"
"Ji Xiuran, you can't do this to our family, and you can't do this to me."
"If you dare to hurt my wife, I will do this to you, get out."
Chen Xinnuan was yelled at, so she covered her face and ran out of Ji Xiuran's office crying.
After seeing this, Gu Man was worried and said, "Assistant Su Te, did I do something wrong?"
Su Yang sighed: "Just take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around and went to Ji Xiuran's office, ready to continue reporting on today's work process.
"Mr. Ji, the hotel for the annual meeting has been booked, and everything is ready. You will see when the notice will be sent."
Ji Xiuran did not answer his question, but asked: "Is that person just now the successor you were looking for?"
When Su Yang heard this, he paused for a moment and said tremblingly: "She is actually very good at everything, but she may be a little inexperienced."
"What? Are you going to let a new person learn step by step?"
"Mr. Ji, I understand, I will look for you again."
Ji Xiuran hummed indifferently and continued: "The time is the same as last year, and it's the same with En Nan. Let's inform you and come to the annual meeting together."
Su Yang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Mr. Ji, what do you mean?"
"I want to announce something important. Please go and notify me and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Mr. Ji, is it convenient to disclose it? I'm ready to prepare! In case something goes wrong in the future."
"Just do what you should do, and notify Lawyer Zhang and ask him to come to my office to see me!"
Originally I planned to do this back at my old home, but now I think it would be more appropriate to do it at the annual meeting.
