There was a table full of food in front of him, emitting a strong fragrance that made one's appetite rise.
Ji Ziqing gulped and looked up at the man who was looking at her with his arms crossed. The man even raised his chin at her, hinting for her to eat quickly.
Ji Ziqing felt that Quan Jiu must be out of his mind. To her, the saying that someone was trying to curry favor for no reason was very common to anyone.
She didn't ignore Quan Jiu's look of disdain that day. The contrast in her treatment of her before and after was so great that she had to think about it carefully.
"What do you mean?" Ji Ziqing felt that it was better to clarify some things in advance so that she wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
"I heard your stomach growling just now. Did I hear wrongly? Have you eaten?”Quan Jiu asked with a smile.
Her stomach was growling? Although she was very hungry, why didn't she know that her stomach was growling?
"With such a table full of dishes, those who don't know would think that you're having a dinner party. Isn't it a little too extravagant for me to eat alone?”Ji Ziqing raised her eyebrows." I know you're rich, but you shouldn't be so wasteful, right?”
"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I ordered every flavor. You can eat whatever you like, and if you don't, you can treat it as practice for the chefs of the Quan Corporation, so that they can improve their culinary skills.”Quan Jiu sounded indifferent.
Ji Ziqing was shocked to realize that this European-style restaurant seemed to belong to the Quan Corporation. No wonder he was so ostentatious and extravagant. He did not have to pay for it.
With that thought in mind, she picked up her chopsticks.
No matter what his motive was, he would not harm her. She was indeed starving now. The world was big, and eating was the most important thing.
Once the rice entered her mouth, Ji Ziqing smiled bitterly. Even an outsider, someone who had only met her a few times and was not familiar with her, could tell that she was still hungry.
He knew that she wasn't feeling well, he knew that he would prepare a table of dishes for her to choose her favorite dishes for her to eat, and he knew that he would give her even the slightest bit of care.
But what about that person?
There had always been only harm, but she had chosen her own path, so who could she blame?
She buried her head in her food and did not want to say anything.
The phone on the table rang. Ji Ziqing picked it up, looking very unhappy.
It was her mother again.
"Mom, if you still want me to see Ji Zimo, then I'll hang up!”Ji Zimo picked up the phone and went straight to the point.""I still say the same thing. He caused the trouble himself. Let him clean up the mess himself. Even if he gets beaten to death, it has nothing to do with me!”
Her anger still hadn't subsided until now, and she still felt cold when she thought about yesterday's situation.
"Qingqing, hurry back and persuade your father. Your father listens to you the most. No one can stop him from severing ties with your brother now.”Mother Ji's voice was anxious and sounded like she was about to cry.
Ji Ziqing frowned. Her mother had never lost her composure like this before. What had happened that involved severing ties with her father?
"What happened? Cut off the relationship between father and son? What had happened to make Father so angry?”Ji Ziqing asked.
"I don't know who sent your father some photos. They're all…photos of your brother fooling around. You know that your father has always despised your brother for not doing his job properly. It's fine if he's not around usually, but this time, he even showed him the photos. He's really angry. He almost threw your brother out of the hospital bed just now.”
Mother Ji sighed and sounded very worried." He's just a little playful now and isn't a bad child. You've always had a good relationship with your brother, so you should help him out if you can, right?”
Were they on good terms? How could she be considered close to Ji Zimo? It was probably not even the most ordinary relationship. In his eyes, she was an enemy.
"Mom, you're overestimating my relationship with Ji Zimo.”Ji Zimo smiled bitterly but did not say anything more.
She was arrogant, willful, and unreasonable, but she knew her limits. She would not let her parents worry about her. It did not matter how Ji Zimo treated her. What mattered was that her parents still loved her.
" Qing Qing…"
"Mom, don't worry. I'll go home in the afternoon and persuade Dad.”
After hanging up, Ji Ziqing massaged her forehead in frustration. One thing after another was troubling her. Why did they all think that she was especially free and had to find trouble for her? Who did Ji Zimo offend this time? Someone even took a photo of him and sent it to her father?
"What's wrong?" Quan Jiu asked when he saw her distressed expression.
"My dad is angry and wants to cut ties with Ji Zimo.”Ji Ziqing put down her chopsticks and felt that she was almost done eating." Thank you for treating me to a meal. I won't stand on ceremony with you. I still have to go to my father's place to persuade him. I'll treat you another day.”
"Haven't you always had a bad relationship with Ji Zimo? He treated you so badly yesterday, and you still want to put in a good word for him?”His impression of her seemed to have always been that she was a flamboyant and domineering young lady. She was selfish and jealous, and her way of doing things depended on her mood. This was most likely what Xing Shaohuang had instilled in her, and he had always felt this way.
However, the current situation seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined.
"No matter how bad he treats me, he's still my brother.”Ji Ziqing shrugged and stood up with her bag." I'll get going then. I'll treat you to a meal next time."”
Quan Jiu looked at her back as she walked out proudly. She was no longer as disheveled as when he saw her earlier.
"No matter how bad he treats me, he's still my brother.”
Quan Jiu's gaze was a little dazed. Was such magnanimity really something that a spoiled and unreasonable little girl would say? Or perhaps she had always been so magnanimous?
It was said that loving a person would often make one go crazy. It would cause one to be trapped in it and completely lose their rationality. They would do many things that even they themselves did not understand. She couldn't bear to see others with the person she loved, so she tried every possible way to be with him.
This was very irrational, but it was all for the word love.
Love, but not being able to get it, was the saddest.
Quan Jiu leaned back on the sofa and narrowed his eyes.
It was said that the person involved was confused. When would the other person she loved realize her goodness?# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 43PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
