After Ji Xiuran got the news, he flew back the same day.
Looking at the girl lying on the bed with a pale face and cracked lips, Ji Xiuran frowned and said angrily: "Zhao Ningchu, who are you planning to show like this?"
Ji Xiuran walked in with a dinner plate and placed it on the bedside cabinet.
"Get up and eat something before going to sleep."
Zhao Ningchu said nothing.
Ji Xiuran frowned slightly, as if all his patience had been worn out.
"Don't ask me to say it a second time."
His tone was a bit angry. Obviously, if Zhao Ningchu continued to be in such a stalemate with him, he would get angry.
Finally, Zhao Ningchu gave up and said with a look of resentment: "I'm not hungry, I want to sleep."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xiuran walked towards the bed and stretched out his hand to pull away the quilt from her body.
Zhao Ningchu was afraid and quickly reached out to grab the quilt. She held on to the quilt with both hands and refused to let go.
She was obviously scared to death, but she gritted her teeth and tried hard to stay calm.
Ji Xiuran's eyes fell on her exposed wrist.
There is a circle of bruises on it that has not dissipated.
I'm so squeamish, just pinching it will leave such heavy marks, and it still doesn't go away after so many days.
The coldness on Ji Xiuran's face gradually dissipated. He sat on the edge of the bed and said slowly: "What I hate most are people who betray me. You should be glad that I kept you alive."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she immediately became furious: "I told you, I didn't, forget it if you don't believe it."
Ji Xiuran sneered and said: "No? Zhao Ningchu, you are still thinking about that adulterer, but it's a pity that he has left you and ran away and can't be found."
Zhao Ningchu frowned slightly and looked up at the man in front of her: "What do you mean?"
"I've been looking for someone these past two days, but I haven't found him. He's pretty good at hiding."
"Ji Xiuran, after all, you just don't believe me, do you?"
"If you want me to believe you, let that man explain in front of me."
"Okay, this is what you said."
If this matter is not explained clearly, it will cause a thorn in everyone's heart.
So Zhao Ningchu dialed Lu Ze's number directly in front of Ji Xiuran. The phone rang twice and was answered.
"Hello……"
"Lu Ze is me."
"I know."
"Where are you now? I have something to ask you."
"Sorry, I'm not in Yanjing now. When I come back, I'll contact you, okay?"
"Okay, then remember to contact me when you come back. I have something very important to tell you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ningchu raised his eyes and glared at Ji Xiuran: "Did you hear that? He is not in Yanjing now. I will explain it to you when he comes back."
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he turned around and left Zhao Ningchu's room without saying anything. However, the moment he closed the door, his expression became even colder.
Ji Xiuran came to the study and dialed Su Yang's number directly. As soon as the call was connected, he said, "How's it going?"
"Mr. Ji, we found it. It's in Yucheng."
"Catch the man."
…
The next day.
Zhao Ningchu got up and went downstairs.
Uncle Chen saw Zhao Ningchu coming downstairs and quickly brought the breakfast that had been prepared to the table.
Looking at the clear soup on the table, Zhao Ningchu sighed silently,
Uncle Chen on the side smiled and said: "Madam, it's better for you to eat light food recently."
"I see."
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Just when she was eating vigorously, she saw Ji Xiuran coming down from upstairs.
Why is he still at home?
Zhao Ningchu waited to get up in order to avoid Ji Xiuran, but in the end, this man was at home?
Ji Xiuran walked towards her step by step and sat directly opposite her.
It took a long time before Zhao Ningchu came back to his senses.
"Why are you at home?"
After saying it, I regretted it.
What nonsense are you asking? This is Ji Xiuran's home, why are you meddling in other people's business?
I thought Ji Xiuran would slander her, but instead of slandering her, Ji Xiuran explained for the first time: "The company is not busy."
For a moment, the living room became quiet. Zhao Ningchu couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I'm done eating. I'm going back to the room first."
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
After taking only two steps, Ji Xiuran's deep voice came from behind.
"stop!"
Zhao Ningchu froze, his body paused, and he stiffly turned his head to look at the man sitting in front of the dining table without saying a word.
Ji Xiuran said in a deep voice: "Come over and finish eating."
Zhao Ningchu was about to say that I was full and didn't want to eat, but before she could say anything, the man's displeased voice came again: "Don't make me say it a second time."
Zhao Ningchu reluctantly walked back, sat in front of him, lowered his head and started eating.
Ji Xiuran just looked at her quietly, neither of them said anything. After seeing Zhao Ningchu devouring the food, he couldn't help but frown.
"Who robbed you?"
Ji Xiuran frowned when he saw something sticking to the corner of the girl's mouth.
Somewhat unhappy, he said: "Zhao Ningchu, can you pay attention to your identity?"
Zhao Ningchu looked at the man in front of her in confusion: "Ah? What?"
Ji Xiuran ignored her and stood up to leave, leaving her sitting at the dining table in confusion.
Neurosis, coming in and out.
Uncle Chen on the side reminded him: "Madam, sir, he has mysophobia."
"Huh? What does having mysophobia have to do with me?"
"The corner of your mouth is stained with minced meat."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she quickly reached out and picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth, and whispered: "It's normal for him to touch his mouth when eating. He doesn't touch his mouth when eating."
"Sir, I've never had a meal before."
Zhao Ningchu:......
In the next few days, Ji Xiuran seemed to have changed his gender and stayed at home every day.
At first, Zhao Ningchu was still a little uncomfortable. She was afraid that she would make the boss angry if she said something wrong, so she did not dare to talk to him easily. Even if they met, she would not speak if she could.
Fortunately, Ji Xiuran spent most of his time in the study, and except for meeting during meal times, we basically couldn't touch him at other times.
During breakfast in the morning, the two still didn't communicate. Zhao Ningchu peeked at him from the corner of her eye from time to time.
"You have something to tell me?"
Ji Xiuran spoke.
Zhao Ningchu put down the spoon in his hand and nodded slightly: "I want to go out today."
In the past two days, she had repeatedly watched the surveillance video of the USB flash drive. The biggest suspicion was the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared.
Zhao Ningchu guessed that the man must have said something to his mother that day, which led to the emotional cerebral hemorrhage.
So all she has to do now is find that man.
When Zhao Ning saw that Ji Xiuran was silent for the first time, she continued, "I'm already healed and the scabs are all gone, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran stood up and left the restaurant, heading upstairs.
Zhao Ningchu looked at the man's back with a confused look on his face.
What's the meaning?
Mute?
Just when she was depressed, Ji Xiuran walked down again, with an extra folder in his hand.
She watched Ji Xiuran walk up to her, throw the documents on the dining table, and then sit down in her seat.
"What is this?" Zhao Ningchu asked curiously.
Ji Xiuran took a sip of coffee gracefully and said calmly: "Family rules!"
Zhao Ningchu rolled her eyes at him.
Ignore it.
Ji Xiuran continued: "Open it and take a look and remember it for me."
Although Ji Xiuran's tone was very calm and there was no tendency to get angry, but for some reason, Zhao Ningchu didn't dare not listen.
Although I felt unhappy, I still reached out and picked up what Ji Xiuran called "house rules" and opened it to take a look.
The first rule of the Ji family: Do not speak when you eat or sleep.
Article 2: You must eat elegantly and decently, and no chirping is allowed.
Article 3: You are not allowed to stay out overnight and must go home before seven o'clock.
Article 4: You are not allowed to do anything offensive or embarrassing outside.
Article 5: No lying, cheating or betrayal is allowed.
"..."
Looking behind, the more she looked, the more she felt that this was simply an unequal treaty. She pointed at Article 99 and said, "What does this mean?"
Ji Xiuran glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Illiterate?"
Zhao Ningchu:......
"All rights of interpretation belong to Ji Xiuran. What do you mean?"
"To put it simply, if I ask you to sit down, you can't stand. If I ask you to go east, you can't go west."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he immediately threw the house rules in his hand on the table and said angrily: "This is not fair, I don't agree."
"Please refer to Article 100."
Zhao Ningchu followed Ji Xiuran's words and after seeing the words "objection is invalid", he waved his hands and left.
unacceptable.
This is not a family rule, it is clearly an unequal treaty.
