Chapter 143: Very angry
But it was obvious that the facts were just as Song Youning said. Although Ji He was very close to Old Man Ji, he was not very familiar with Ji Xingjing, and their words were quite polite.
At this moment, the aura around Ji Xingjing seemed to become a little bland and cold, just like that night at the dinner party.
However, with Mr. Ji around, the meal would naturally not be indecent, and the topic basically revolved around Jiang Wan and Song Youning.
When Mr. Ji asked how the two knew each other, Ji He smiled and said, "Youning and Wanwan are indeed destined to be together. I remember you said a few days ago that you were the first fan of Wanwan's live broadcast room, right?"
Song Youning added a small bowl of soup to Jiang Wan. Hearing this, she couldn't hide her excitement: "Yes, I used to watch a lot of female anchors, but after meeting Wan Wan, I never watched other people's live broadcasts again."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Wan, with a look that seemed to be seeking praise.
Jiang Wan looked at Ji He with a smile in his eyes.
"Well, Yuzu has been with me since the beginning of my live broadcast until now, so I am very grateful to her."
Ji He smiled: "Now I am also led by this girl to watch your live broadcast with her."
After saying that, thinking that he had to start a conversation, he looked at Ji Xingjing and asked casually, "Does Xingjing usually watch live broadcasts?"
Old Master Ji said leisurely, "It would be great if he really watched the live broadcast. He is busy with this project or that project all day long. I think he will be lonely for half his life with Shao Ting."
Jiang Wan was caught off guard when she heard Shao Ting's name. She felt a little weird. At this moment, the man sitting diagonally opposite her seemed to look at her slowly.
She heard the man slowly open his mouth: "Don't worry too much, don't mention people you shouldn't mention, maybe I can be lonely for a few less years."
Old Master Ji was naturally dissatisfied, but considering that Jiang Wan was here, he didn't say anything else.
Jiang Wanze lowered his eyelashes slightly, thinking that the topic had been easily changed.
Ji Xingjing did not answer whether he usually watches live broadcasts.
The topics that followed were quite ordinary. After everyone put down their chopsticks, Mr. Ji said directly to Ji Xingjing: "It's getting late now. If you are not in a hurry, send Wanwan home first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wan subconsciously looked up at Ji Xingjing.
The man also glanced over.
The two people's eyes intertwined like silk threads, and Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He took the lead in speaking softly, "Grandpa Ji, don't bother me. I have actually booked a car in advance. I will let Youzi know that I am safe when I get home. Don't worry."
After she said that, Mr. Ji frowned, but he didn't force it. He just suddenly remembered something and frowned at Ji Xingjing: "Are you not busy tonight?"
For someone of Ji Xingjing's status, there is no such thing as weekdays or weekends. There are things to deal with every day, big and small, so usually if you don't call in advance, Grandpa Ji assumes that Ji Xingjing will not come back.
But tonight he came straight back.
Didn't even say hello.
Ji Xingjing seemed not to hear the doubt in his words. He half-closed his eyes and spoke in a calm voice.
"Busy, in a hurry."
After a pause, his eyes fell on Jiang Wan, and his words were slow but catchy.
"But...I can walk her to the exit."
Jiang Wan did not refuse.
It is indeed several minutes' drive from the villa. Even if Ji Xingjing doesn't send Song Youning off, she will ask him to do so, or ask the driver to take her home. It is a bit hypocritical to worry about this.
Instead of making excuses when the time comes, it would be better to just take Ji Xingjing's car to the door.
Song Youning was undoubtedly the most worried person. Before sending her to the car, she whispered in her ear and told her that it was okay to keep silent if she was afraid. She also repeatedly confirmed whether she had really booked a car.
Jiang Wan chuckled and nodded, then said goodbye softly to Mr. Ji and Ji He respectively, before following Ji Xingjing and sitting in the back seat of the black Maybach parked at the door.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening. After the driver drove out of the villa, the light inside the car suddenly became dim.
Ji Xingjing leaned back in his chair, his hands casually resting on the window sill, and asked in a low voice, "Where do you live?"
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and looked out the car window.
"Director Ji, just take me to the exit."
After a pause, she added: "You just said to send me to the exit."
Ji Xingjing raised his eyebrows slightly and stared meaningfully at her half-face, which was as white as cream.
"If you really booked a car in advance, my words will count. If not, my words will not count."
Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, thinking that this man could see through her effortlessly, so she simply looked straight at him and said, "Thank you, Director Ji, for sending me off. I am flattered, but let me ask you a question, what exactly do you want to do?"
The driver in the front seat heard something wrong from these few words, and raised the fender silently, automatically becoming invisible.
Ji Xingjing paused for a moment, his voice hinting at a hint of mockery.
"I just went home and had dinner. Does that make me a bad person?"
After these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere in the car strangely relaxed a bit, and instead there was a hint of an indescribable feeling.
Jiang Wan avoided his gaze and whispered softly, "You are bad to begin with."
She seemed to have always been like this, always speaking in a gentle voice, and even when she complained about people, she always looked very lovable.
Ji Xingjing stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his mouth and said, "What's wrong with me? Did I treat you badly or scold you?"
"for example?"
His thin eyelids were slightly pressed down, adding a sense of oppression, but his tone was nonchalant, as if it was insignificant.
Jiang Wan's heartbeat suddenly quickened a little. After a moment, he turned his head to look out the window, pretending not to want to answer.
Quite angry.
A faint smile flashed across Ji Xingjing's eyes, but he closed his eyes and rested.
Jiang Wan thought that the journey would be peaceful, but unexpectedly, when she was about to reach the downstairs of the community, the man suddenly handed something to her.
She was stunned for a moment, then unfolded it and saw that it was an invitation letter, inviting her to participate in an event... the South Coast Tourism Zone Project Open Development Promotion Conference hosted by Junjian Capital.
Her heart couldn't help but beating for a moment, and she looked up at Ji Xingjing.
"What does this mean, Director Ji?"
Ji Xingjing half lowered his eyes and said in a low and slow voice: "I gave it to you to coax you, don't you want it?"
Jiang Wan's thin white knuckles tightened unconsciously as he held the invitation letter.
Of course she wanted to go, but she didn't understand why the man suddenly gave the invitation to her, Shao Ting's secretary.
Jiang Wan asked this question, but heard a hint of coldness from the man's breath.
"This is a promotional meeting for the outside world. Many people from Kyoto University have tried their best to attend. Does it matter whose secretary you are?"
She wanted to ask something else, but the man had already closed his eyes.
"You should get off the bus now, you squeamish kid."
What a delicate bag...
Jiang Wan's cheeks felt hot because of his tough and annoying tone, but she knew that she couldn't get any satisfaction from the man at this moment, so she could only complain in her heart and opened the door to get out of the car.
The black Maybach drove away. Jiang Wan pursed her lips and opened the invitation again. The time was tomorrow afternoon.
This kind of promotion meeting could not have been held on a whim. It was obvious that the news was kept too secret before, and there was not even a rumor on the business network. It was probably only today that it was being promoted openly.
Meng Huainian must have been present, otherwise there would not have been any subsequent participation in the investment.
She almost missed it.
But... why is Ji Xingjing so sure that she wants to go, just because she will soon be a student in the Finance Department of Peking University?
This is Jun Jian's project and has nothing to do with the Shaw Group, so there is no need to worry about running into Shao Ting.
However, this feeling of being explored too thoroughly without realizing it made Jiang Wan feel dreadful as if he was about to really sink into the quagmire.
She stood there in deep thought for a long time before closing the invitation letter and preparing to go home. But when she turned around, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something and stopped abruptly.
