Chapter 964 - No longer weak
When both sides started to serve food, Lan Feng and Gong Yuze continued to discuss about the recent financial matters. Lan Ying sat obediently at the side, like a wors.h.i.+per, looking at Gong Yuze, the admiration in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Ji Anning and Ji Tianci had always been quietly eating and did not talk. However, Ji Tianci"s gaze was always gently and gentle as he stared at Ji Anning from time to time, with a hint of worry hidden in his eyes. This was because another girl was sitting beside Gong Yuze, and that girl was even very bold to flirt with Gong Yuze.
As Gong Yuze"s former girlfriend, Ji Anning definitely didn"t feel good about this!
It must have been because no matter what reason they had used to separate at the beginning, he knew that Ji Anning always loved him in his heart.
No matter how delicious the food was, in Ji Anning"s mouth, it was like chewing wax, it was tasteless, but he had drank too much tea just now, she wanted to go to the bathroom, Ji Anning put down his chopsticks, and said to Ji Tianci: "I"m going to the bathroom."
"Alright!" Ji Tianci nodded.
Ji Anning did not look at Gong Yuze"s table. She lowered her eyes to look at the road, and then walked towards a street sign for the washroom.
Ji Anning left the table, and Lan Ying realized what was going on. A profound look flashed past her eyes, and she also pretended to say, "Brother, you guys continue chatting. I"ll go to the washroom first to make up some makeup."
"Go!" Lan Feng nodded his head, Gong Yuze took a glance at where Ji Anning was leaving from, and accidentally glanced at Ji Tianci. Ji Tianci greeted him slightly, they were both in the business world, there was no need for him to offend Gong Yuze.
Gong Yuze retracted his gaze, and did not respond.
Ji Anning walked into the bathroom, and after entering the bathroom, she washed her hands on the sink. Just then, the door opened, and Lan Ying slowly walked in.
Lan Ying practically didn"t even look at Ji Anning as she skillfully held the makeup bag in one hand and coldly snorted at the same time, "Didn"t you say that you"re not allowed to appear in front of Euphorbia? Why are you still lingering around? "
With the last sentence, Lan Ying cast a warning glance at Ji Anning.
Ji Anning also coldly replied, "I have my own freedom."
Lan Ying sized Ji Anning up from head to toe. People who had always been in the fas.h.i.+on world would naturally be able to see that the clothes Ji Anning was wearing, the necklace and the watch on her wrist were definitely not ordinary.
"Unexpectedly, after not meeting for three years, they looked at each other!" After leaving the Euphorbia, you weren"t idle either. You hooked up with a different man so quickly, and you even brought him along to appear in front of the Euphorbia. What is the meaning of this!? " Lan Ying"s eyes were filled with ridicule.
looked at her calmly. In the past, she would have felt that with Lan Ying"s status, it was impossible for her to climb up to such a level, and thought that she had a high status as a young miss of a rich family. But now, with the status of a rich family, Ji Anning felt that Lan Ying"s character was inferior to that of an ordinary girl.
"Let"s not talk about what happened three years ago. I won"t obstruct you, and you won"t disturb me." With that, Ji Anning turned and prepared to leave.
Lan Ying suddenly blocked her, "Then let me also advise you, when I heard that your mother pa.s.sed away, I was very regretful. Therefore, you better not tell Euphorbia about what happened three years ago.
Ji Anning"s expression changed, her slender hands suddenly grabbed onto Lan Ying"s wrist with all his might, grabbing so hard that even Lan Ying felt pain.
"I"m also warning you, you"d better not provoke me again! Otherwise, I won"t be polite. " Ji Anning"s voice was filled with warning.
"It hurts, let go." Lan Ying struggled with all her might, her face turning pale white.
Ji Anning felt that it was too dirty and released her hand, turned around and pushed the door open.
Behind him, amidst the anger, Lan Ying was also a bit annoyed. He even didn"t know where Ji Anning got his courage from, to actually dare to threaten her.
"d.a.m.ned girl, what qualifications do you have to threaten me? He only relied on the backing of some random man to be so arrogant. Hmph! I"m not afraid of you. " Lan Ying said fiercely towards the door.
Ji Anning leisurely returned to the table and looked at Gong Yuze. Gong Yuze was elegantly cutting the food on the plate. His eating style was especially pleasing to the eyes.
Ji Anning wanted to eat more, but realized that she couldn"t eat anymore. She put down her chopsticks and asked Ji Tianci: "I"m full, what about you?"
"Me too." Ji Tianci smiled, "Let"s go!"
"Alright!" Ji Anning nodded, picked up his bag and followed Ji Tianci out.
When Ji Anning left, he took another glance at Gong Yuze, but he still did not look at her. A hint of disappointment flashed through her heart, and she immediately turned around and left, but did not know that when she turned around, she had actually missed a step, and almost fell down. Ji Tianci was right beside her, and with his healthy arms wrapped around his, he pulled Ji Anning into his embrace to protect him.
Ji Anning was also shocked, she was supported by Ji Tianci as they both went out.
Behind him, Gong Yuze"s gaze was tainted with an undetectable coldness, and even Lan Feng, who was standing opposite of him, could feel it. He turned around and looked towards the direction of the door, "Yuze, what happened?"
"It"s nothing!" Gong Yuze restrained his emotions and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Lan Ying once again returned to the table, she continued to look at Gong Yuze as if she was infatuated with him, only that, the att.i.tude that Gong Yuze had towards her became a lot colder. Lan Ying was also not able to cut in on the conversation between him and Lan Feng.
Therefore, she obediently became an audience. Seeing Ji Anning leaving, she thought that Ji Anning was afraid of her and was extremely proud of himself.
On the way back to the villa, Ji Tianci received a call. The company had an urgent matter and he needed to go to the company. After sending Ji Anning back to the villa, he drove away.
Ji Anning, on the other hand, liked to be alone. She sat on the balcony and looked in the direction of Gong Yuze"s villa.
Thinking about Lan Ying"s threat today, even though her mother was infuriated, she would still protect her mother"s living reputation and would not let Lan Ying continue to ruin it.
Therefore, she didn"t want to anger Lan Ying too much, but she also needed Lan Ying to maintain the trade that she had made three years ago, and not easily let her mother"s things leak out.
Xia Shuhua picked her up, and raised a girl who wasn"t related by blood. This act of bringing her up, made her feel even more grateful towards him.
Now that she was dead, she couldn"t do anything for her anymore. The only thing she could do was to let her rest in peace and not worry about anything else.
