As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran's cell phone rang, and he directly pressed the connect button on the steering wheel.
"What's up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice on the other end of the phone came from the stereo in front of the car. "Xiuran, it's my birthday tomorrow at the Charming Golden Seat. I hope you can come."
Ji Xiuran refused without thinking.
"Xiu Ran, I know you are still angry about what happened before. I apologize to you. Please stop being angry."
Ji Xiuran said nothing, but Jiang Nan suddenly became anxious.
"Xiuran, Gu Bei and the others are also here, can you come over?"
"Let's talk about it then!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Zhao Ningchu just listened to the conversation between the two quietly. After Ji Xiuran hung up, she said, "Are you going?"
"You want me to go?"
"You see what she said is so sincere. Besides, haven't you two known each other for many years? It's okay to just go there."
When Ji Xiuran heard this, he immediately felt very irritable. Zhao Ningchu wanted to say something else, but Ji Xiuran told her to shut up.
Zhao Ningchu looked puzzled. This uncertain man was too difficult to serve. Knock knock knock...
"Come in!"
With Ji Xiuran's permission, Zhao Ningchu opened the door and walked in.
"Ji Xiuran, let me tell you something."
Ji Xiuran stopped what he was doing and looked up at her: "Say!"
Zhao Ningchu stepped forward and placed the box in his hand on Ji Xiuran's desk.
"This is for you."
Ji Xiuran said nothing, as if waiting for her next words.
"I don't want the 10% shares anymore. I'll give them all to you, but I have a request."
"explain."
Zhao Ningchu tightened his hands and mustered up the courage to say, "Let me go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran burst into laughter.
When Zhao Ningchu heard the man's gloomy laughter, he suddenly felt a little creepy.
She had no confidence and said: "You, why are you laughing?"
Ji Xiuran stood up from the chair, walked to the girl step by step, and looked at her condescendingly.
After a while, he finally said: "Zhao Ningchu, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Zhao Ning raised her eyes: "What do you mean?"
Ji Xiuran reached out and picked up the box on the table, opened it and looked at it.
"Do you really think the old lady will just give you 10% of Ji's equity?"
"Didn't she tell me?"
"Here you go? Just this bracelet. Do you think you can own it just by holding this bracelet?"
Only then did Zhao Ningchu belatedly realize that he seemed to have thought too simply. To transfer equity, an equity transfer letter was required, and it also needed to be signed under the witness of a lawyer to have legal effect.
Therefore, I was deceived by the old lady.
"You mean grandma is lying to me?"
Ji Xiuran sneered: "Although the old lady is old, she has a clear mind. If you want to divorce me, then come and talk to me with the equity transfer letter. You come and play with me with a broken bracelet?"
Zhao Ningchu was embarrassed and annoyed by his words. Sure enough, she was still too naive.
No wonder Ji Xiuran didn't say a word at that time. It turned out that he already knew what was going on.
"Then if that's the case, why did she say that?"
"The bracelet is indeed for the wife of the Ji family. As for the equity..." After saying this, Ji Xiuran paused and his eyes fell on her abdomen.
"The old lady wants to hold her great-grandson. She thinks that you will get pregnant soon, so she gave 10% of the equity as a meeting gift to her great-grandson."
"What you mean is that only if I give birth to a child can I wait until I get 10% of the equity."
Ji Xiuran snorted coldly: "What else? Zhao Ningchu, I still take you seriously, Xiaoqiao, and you are always plotting to divorce me?"
"If you don't like me, I'll let you go and you can be with the woman you like. Isn't that good?"
"What? Didn't you beg me to do things before? Now you're showing your true colors?"
"you……"
Zhao Ningchu was very angry. They were indeed a family, and they were playing tricks on her like this?
Originally, he respected the old lady very much, but after this incident, Zhao Ningchu felt a knot in his heart.
How could such a shrewd old lady hand over the equity to her so casually?
…
Early the next morning, Zhao Ningchu went out.
Uncle Chen, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, saw her going out with her backpack and quickly stopped her: "Madam, where are you going at this time?"
"Oh, I've started school. Let's go to school."
Uncle Chen was a little surprised: "You are still studying."
Zhao Ningchu nodded: "Well, I am a senior this year, and I can get my diploma next year."
"Which university are you in?"
"Yenjing University."
"Madam, you are so awesome. Yenching University is a key university."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she smiled awkwardly: "Well, Uncle Chen, I'm almost too late, so I'll leave first."
"Madam, let me drive you there. Yenching University is in the suburbs. It's too far and it's inconvenient."
Zhao Ningchu hesitated for a moment: "But where is Ji Xiuran?"
"I'm going to the gym now to tell my husband, please wait for me." After saying that, he took off his apron and went to find Ji Xiuran.
Zhao Ningchu stood at the door and waited for two minutes before Uncle Chen came back.
"Madam, let's go. Sir, I've agreed. I'll take you to school."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen!"
"Ma'am, you're welcome!"
Zhao Ningchu was sitting in the back seat, while Uncle Chen was driving in the cab.
"Uncle Chen, when did you follow Ji Xiuran?"
"I have been working in the Ji family for more than thirty years. I used to work in the old house. After my husband moved out on his own, the old lady asked me to come with him and take care of his daily life."
"Then you know that you should know the Ji family's affairs very well?"
Uncle Chen nodded: "Well, I know a little bit."
Zhao Ningchu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then do you know about Ji Xiuran and his father?"
When Uncle Chen heard this, he paused slightly.
"Madam, why do you suddenly ask about this matter?"
"Oh, I'm just curious, so I asked casually."
Chen Boleng said ambiguously: "Actually, as a servant, I don't know much about the matter between Mr. and his father. Mr. came to the Ji family when he was five years old. His father was very strict with him.
So this also led to his character flaws."
"How strict is it?"
"Every father hopes that his son will succeed."
"Uncle Chen, do you know why Ji Xiuran set fire and burned himself?"
Zhao Ningchu tried softly.
Uncle Chen's pupils shrank, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "Madam, I'm actually not very clear about this matter."
Zhao Ningchu exclaimed, a little disappointed.
Uncle Chen glanced at her through the rearview mirror and said hesitantly: "Madam, please don't ask me about this matter again."
"Why?"
"Sir will be unhappy if he finds out."
Zhao Ningchu said nothing, but became more confused.
Why does everyone want to avoid this matter? Is it true that as Zhang Meijia said, Xiu Ran really set fire to his father when he was young?
If this is the case, then why do you have such a severe fever?
What unknown things happened in it?
Half an hour later, the car stopped steadily at the entrance of Yenching University. Because it was the beginning of the semester, there were many students coming and going at the entrance.
After Zhao Ningchu greeted Uncle Chen, he opened the car door and walked towards the school gate.
As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Gu Ran's sharp cry from behind: "Ah Chu, Ah Chu!"
Zhao Ningchu turned to look at her: "You just came from home too?"
"Yes, I came here by bus, and I saw you getting off the bus as soon as I got off the bus."
"You live at home now?"
"Well, my brother has arranged a job for me, so it's not convenient to live on campus."
After Gu Ran finished speaking, she approached Zhao Ningchu with a gossipy face: "Ah Chu, I saw it just now. Was it Ji Xiuran who sent you to school?"
Zhao Ningchu rolled her eyes at her: "Do you think he would be so kind as to send me to school?"
Gu Ran thought for a moment and shook her head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Then you still ask."
After saying that, he walked towards the school without thinking about himself.
Gu Ran hurriedly caught up and asked gossipingly: "Yesterday you said you planned to divorce Ji Xiuran, is it true?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded.
"What stimulated you and how did you figure it out?"
“I’m not stimulated, I just don’t want to consume it anymore.”
Gu Ran put his hand on her shoulder and nodded: "Achu, I support your decision to leave that bastard. My sister will take you to find your little brother."
Zhao Ningchu suddenly opened her hand and said with disdain: "I am still single, and you still take me to find a little brother?"
Gu Ran reached out and pinched her neck, pretending to be fierce and said: "Who are you talking about being single? If you continue..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Ran's eyes fell on her dotted neck.
Then he said loudly with a shocked look on his face: "Did you sleep with Ji Xiuran last night?"
Gu Ran's voice was already loud, but this sound startled the pedestrians walking on the road, and they all turned their attention to the two of them.
Zhao Ningchu reached out and covered Gu Ran's mouth: "Ancestor, can you not be startled when you speak? You are scaring me to death."
Gu Ran opened her hand and joked: "No, Ah Chu, the strawberries on your neck are too obvious. Young people must also know how to exercise restraint, otherwise their bodies will be hollowed out."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go to class." After saying that, he adjusted his collar, blocked the marks on his neck, pulled Gu Ran and ran towards the teaching building.
Because I am a senior, I have very few classes. For example, today, there is only one required class in the morning.
After class, Gu Ran suggested going out to eat, but Zhao Ningchu refused and took the bus home.
After getting off the bus, we walked for half an hour to the door of the villa.
From a distance, Zhao Ningchu saw a figure sneaking around the door of the villa, not knowing why.
