Chapter 10 It’s clear that I just miss your face
“That’s not me begging you to take me back. It’s not that I begged you but you insisted on going your own way and wanted me to thank you for your kindness. Ms. Deng thinks I’m stupid. ? I pretend to be a loving mother and daughter, but I don't deserve anything outside the eyes of outsiders.
"When I open a company, I'm in a dilemma. I don't care if I get a loan, but you still want me to close it. Are you worried that I will really stand up and steal Ji Rourou's limelight?"
"Presumptuous," Deng Yi turned around abruptly, his brows filled with anger, and glared at Ji Lan: "I have raised you for many years."
"You have supported me for many years by keeping silent. Do I beg you to support me?" Ji Lan shouted back angrily, and the fingertips hanging by his side curled slightly: "Why don't you say that I am unworthy when you use me to achieve your goals? All these years, Why didn't you think about whether you were worthy or not when you were making money in the name of my adopted daughter?"
The Ji family is not as glamorous as it appears. It is a wealthy and aristocratic family with many sons. They fight openly or secretly. The elders are still there, and they still care about their face and do not do anything embarrassing.
But if you don't argue in front of the old man and the old lady of the Ji family, you may not argue in private.
It was just a matter of fighting over each other. The most hateful thing was that she, Deng Yi, used her as a bargaining chip and sent her to various occasions to make profits.
Then he said she didn't deserve it.
The atmosphere in the office was tense. People in the studio stopped what they were doing and listened to what was going on inside.
Deng Yi turned pale with anger and glared at her angrily: "You have grown up and your wings have hardened. I can't control you anymore, right? You can leave if you want, but you don't want to take away even a penny from the Ji family." , You don’t want the apartment that Ji Xian fought for you.”
"Why should I not want it?" Ji Lan asked back, his eyes filled with scarlet red anger: "That's what I deserve."
"You are an orphan without a father and a mother. Don't you know what you deserve?" Deng Yi sneered, and the ruthless sarcasm was like a basin of cold water poured on Ji Lan.
Without waiting for anyone to respond, he opened the office door and went out.
Beside the door, Zhang Fan stepped back. When he saw the person walking away, he waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.
"Just go ahead and do what you have to do, and don't hang around."
Zhang Fan opened the door to Ji Lan's office and went in. He saw her sitting on the sofa with her head propped up and her face looking decadent. He poured her a glass of water, stood beside him and patted her thin shoulder.
"Don't think too much about it. It's over now. It's a good thing to break up."
Ji Lan leaned back slightly and leaned on the sofa. His slender neck line was exposed in the air, which was a bit fascinating.
"I didn't think much about it, I just felt aggrieved." After twenty years, even a dog has feelings.
But to Deng Yi, she was worse than a dog.
Human nature is complex.
No one knows who the other person is until the end.
In mid-April 2010, the weather in Beijing and Hong Kong was mild. During the day, the warm sun fell on people, making it warm. At night, the temperature dropped.
The temperature difference widens, making people feel even more uncomfortable.
When Ji Lan drove to the place wrapped in a windbreaker, Xu Ying was already waiting at the door of the store.
"Is anyone here?" Ji Lan parked the car and came down to ask.
"Here, my dad is already inside, go in first," Xu Ying and Ji Lan majored in the same field. They had the same eyesight and got along well with each other. After graduation, they wanted to make a career in the promising film and television industry.
The two little girls originally thought they were just having fun, but unexpectedly, their play turned out to be a success.
He set his sights on the film and television industry.
The Xu family pampered Xu Ying and cooperated with them to pave the way for her. Fortunately, the journey was smooth, otherwise the two little girls would have been eaten dry.
Beijing and Hong Kong, a financial metropolis, hold the lifeline of the national economy. There is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going, bringing money in and taking away money. It is extremely prosperous.
The most indispensable thing in this Sijiu City is a place suitable for socializing. In the inconspicuous courtyard on the roadside, once the door is closed, there are two worlds inside and outside the courtyard.
The environment is good and the privacy is high. No one can figure out what is going on inside. In the box, Ji Lan held a cup and poured wine for the leaders one by one.
Everyone's eyes fell on her, some were sizing her up, some were arrogant, and few were pure.
She is beautiful, has a good figure, fair skin and looks like a canary raised in a pile of money.
Such a person, if they were to look at him normally, they would covet him.
But today, I got to the same wine table with them.
I don't know whether this Miss Ji has lowered her status or whether they are getting along better.
"If Miss Ji wants to raise funds, why should she look after businessmen like us from a small family?"
“Wouldn’t it be wise to go back and act coquettishly and invest?”
There was a slight smile on Ji Lan's lips, he pulled up the chair and sat down, looking directly at the person opposite him who spoke: "Mr. Jiang doesn't know something. The Ji family has strict rules and many rules. Their children start businesses outside. They can stand behind them to support them, but I won’t help you all the time.”
When Jiang Shaoding heard what Ji Lan said, he smiled and said, "No wonder the Ji family in Beijing and Hong Kong has been prosperous for hundreds of years. The aristocratic family from the high gate compound even educates their children differently from others."
Ji Lan picked up the cup: "Mr. Jiang, please give me a toast."
Jiang Shaoding sat up straight, picked up the chopsticks on the dinner plate with his fingertips, and used the heads of the chopsticks to press down the cup Ji Lan had picked up: "Miss Ji, there's no rush."
"You can drink wine at any time when fate comes." Jiang Shaoding put down his chopsticks and leaned forward to look at Ji Lan: "I heard that Miss Ji's engagement with the Yan family has been cancelled?"
Ji Lan's heart skipped a beat. I'm afraid this person didn't care about her so well.
I'm not sure what I'm thinking about.
Now she has to rely on the big tree of Ji's family when she is outside. Otherwise, her face is enough to make it difficult for her to move around Beijing and Hong Kong.
"Really?" Ji Lan pretended not to know: "Where did Mr. Jiang hear about this?"
Jiang Shaoding saw that she was pretending to be innocent, and some people were frightened, so he followed her words and said vaguely: "Did I remember it wrong?"
Xu Ying sat across from him and laughed heartily: "I haven't heard of it either! Where did Mr. Jiang get this gossip from? I'm very curious."
"Miss Xu already said it was gossip, what are you still curious about? Drink!" Jiang Shaoding picked up the cup and raised it towards Ji Lan.
After a dinner party and half a tael of yellow soup, Ji Lan leaned against the car in a daze as he was seeing people off.
Xu Ying went to the roadside tuck shop and bought two bottles of water. When he opened it and handed it to her, he said angrily: "This thief Jiang clearly cares about your face. He drank all night without even exploding a useful fart."
"Beauty is a disaster!" Ji Lan touched her cheek with the tip of her tongue, looking a little unhappy.
"Go back! If you have anything to do, we'll talk tomorrow."
"What about you?" Xu Ying asked.
Ji Lan pointed to the door behind him: "The store has called for a driver. He will be here in a moment. I'll stand here and wake up."
"Text me when you get home."
Ji Lan nodded: "Peace of mind."
After watching Xu Ying leave, Ji Lan walked around the front of the car to get into the passenger seat. As soon as he opened the door, he missed his footing and fell off the curb.
In an instant, a big hand reached out and grabbed her arm, lifting her up.
