The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, so Shen Mingzhu chose to hang up directly.
But the other party persisted, and it was not until the third ring that Shen Mingzhu impatiently answered the call.
Who on earth was the blind person who called her?
Because of her impatience, Shen Mingzhu's tone when she answered the phone was not very good.
Unfortunately, the other party was even more impatient, "Shen Mingzhu! Are you hanging up on me?"
The voice on the other end was low, obviously a little angry because Shen Mingzhu hung up on him twice.
"Is there something wrong?" Shen Mingzhu didn't care whether he was angry or not.
The person on the other end of the phone was Ji Ci, who had just said in the recording that he wanted to cancel the engagement.
You have to know that just now Lin Ya used his recording to laugh at her, so it is even more impossible for Shen Mingzhu to have any good tone towards Ji Ci.
"Sir, shouldn't we keep some distance? Didn't you say you wanted to break off the engagement? What do you mean by calling me so persistently in the middle of the night?"
Ji Ci was stunned for a second. He didn’t know where Shen Mingzhu’s impatience came from.
After all, I proposed to cancel the engagement a few days ago, and she agreed at that time. Why did she change her attitude now?
Shen Mingzhu didn't understand his confusion. If it weren't for him, how could Lin Ya get the recording of the Ji family.
Even if he didn't ask Lin Ya to do this, the recording was leaked because of his indirect consent.
However, Shen Mingzhu really misunderstood Ji Ci. Ji Ci never thought that Ji Yuan was there at the time, and he even recorded and edited the conversation and had someone give it to Shen Mingzhu to play.
"Are you in school? I'm at the gate of your school. I have something to tell you."
"What the hell?" Shen Mingzhu's mind was filled with question marks.
Why is Ji Ci crazy? Come to school to find her?
Could he be out of his mind? Is she very familiar with him?
"What are you doing here?"
This stumped Ji Ci. He didn't know why he ended up at the gate of her school.
Originally, Ji Ci contacted Shen Zejing to discuss with him when it would be appropriate to announce the breakup of the engagement.
What method can be used to minimize the risks faced by both companies?
But after hearing Shen Zejing confess that Shen Mingzhu might not return to the Shen family, he began to feel dazed.
And it was impossible for Shen Zejing to directly reveal the reason why Shen Mingzhu ran away from home, he just mentioned it vaguely.
But Ji Ci understood his hint. According to his understanding, the Shen family probably did something to make Shen Mingzhu sad.
After hanging up the phone with Shen Zejing, he had only one thought in his mind: he wanted to see Shen Mingzhu.
Then he couldn't wait to drive to the gate of Shen Mingzhu's school.
And call her.
According to Ji Ci’s own habit, if the first call was hung up, he would never call a second time.
But for some reason he just couldn't control himself and refused to give up even after being hung up on twice.
As if possessed by a demon.
"Hello? Hello?" There was no sound on the other end of the line. Shen Mingzhu thought there was something wrong with her phone.
Ji Ci was thinking, her impatience was probably because she was still upset about the Shen family's affairs.
"Can you come out for a moment?" The tone of this sentence was so gentle that Ji Ci himself didn't even notice it.
Shen Mingzhu was silent. Was there something wrong with her ears? Ji Ci's voice was naturally cool and magnetic, and his deliberately slowed-down tone made this sentence sound ambiguous and affectionate.
For some reason, Shen Mingzhu felt as if her heart was being scratched gently by a cat's claws, and it felt itchy.
The words that were originally prepared to scold Ji Ci were swallowed, and he just replied blankly, "Then wait a minute."
Wen Shuangnian watched Shen Mingzhu change from being impatient to like this. She was really curious about who was on the other end of the phone, what they said, and why she saw this expression on Shen Mingzhu's face.
"Hey, Shuangnian, you take a shower first. I'll be out for a while and back soon."
Shen Mingzhu said this and trotted out of the dormitory.
Wen Shuangnian smelled an unusual smell.
Shen Mingzhu's dormitory was some distance away from the main entrance. In order not to keep Ji Ci waiting for a long time, she almost trotted out.
So when Ji Ci saw her, there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Ji Ci took the tissue and brought it close to her face. Shen Mingzhu froze in place, not daring to move.
"What's this? It feels weird."
Shen Mingzhu's thoughts made Ji Ci stop his actions. They suddenly realized that their current posture seemed a little ambiguous.
So he stuffed the tissue into Shen Mingzhu's hand and tapped his forehead.
Shen Mingzhu finally understood what he meant, and then wiped her forehead casually, "What do you want from me?"
Ji Ci remembered his purpose and spoke.
"You left the Shen family?"
"Um."
Shen Mingzhu's verbal response was cold, but her inner thoughts were different.
"So he came all the way here to ask this? Or did he come to me to break off the engagement again?"
"Does he feel that he didn't explain it clearly last time? Or does he think he should say it a few more times to prevent me from shamelessly pestering him?"
Ji Ci coughed a few times. He didn't mean that. It was just...
"The Shen family should have suspended all your cards. If you need it, I can provide you with some, uh, financial assistance?"
Ji Ci felt a little regretful after saying this. It really sounded like he was humiliating Shen Mingzhu.
As expected, Shen Mingzhu was enraged. "So you are thinking of giving me some alms as compensation for breaking off the engagement?"
"I..." Ji Ci didn't know what to say, because no matter how he started, it seemed wrong.
"Oh, I know you're anxious to cut off ties with me, so I won't beat around the bush. Just give me two hundred thousand and we'll be done with each other. I won't use the engagement to entangle you. As for the Shen family, that's your business."
"As expected, men are unreliable! I thought he came here to comfort me, but it turns out he was anxious to distance himself from me and couldn't wait to please the heroine!"
"It's a waste of time that I ran all the way here in case he had to wait for me!"
Ji Ci felt that he still needed to explain.
Hearing Shen Mingzhu misunderstanding him like this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
"I broke off the engagement because I couldn't give you happiness, and it's not good for you to suffer with me."
When Shen Mingzhu heard this, she looked Ji Ci up and down with a strange look.
The anger that had been brewing in her was driven away by a strange feeling.
"Can't give me happiness? Is that so? He can't do that? That's why he can tolerate the heroine cheating on him?"
When Ji Ci heard this, he pursed his cheek. He knew that Shen Mingzhu was not serious at all.
Which word did he say that he couldn't do it?
There was also a girl who looked him up and down with such a lewd expression, and he just felt like he was being harassed.
"I can't give you happiness literally." Ji Ci really couldn't stand Shen Mingzhu's eyes glancing somewhere from time to time.
“Oh~”
Ji Ci thought Shen Mingzhu really understood, and was about to feel relieved, but the next second, Shen Mingzhu's voice struck him like a bolt from the blue.
"It just doesn't work."
He was so angry, but there was no way to prove himself, so Ji Ci's breath got stuck in his throat.
But what Shen Mingzhu said was so infuriating that it could kill you.
