Chapter 122: Making Up for an Uneasy Conscience

A few days after returning from the golf course, Zhou announced that he would cooperate with Ji.

When Su Linzhou heard the news, he was stunned.

"Are you crazy? How could you just give up such an important project and give it to Ji Tingyang for nothing?"

"You value this project very much, and even dragged me into it. Why did you refuse when Mr. Zhou wanted to choose you? Then what have you been busy for all this time?"

Su Linzhou was puzzled.

Xie Changyan sat on the chair and said lazily: "Perhaps it is to make up for the uneasy conscience that will follow..."

Su Linzhou was confused for a moment, but quickly reacted.

He was speechless. "Fuck, are you determined to steal someone's girl?"

What a guilty conscience.

Isn't it just that he wants to snatch Ji Tingyang's people and then give him a big project to make up for it?

"Tsk tsk, if Ji Tingyang knew about this little plot in your mind, he would definitely not let you off." Su Linzhou imagined the scene of the two of them fighting, and his smile became even more gloating.

"..." Xie Changyan glanced at him and said nothing.

Ji family villa.

Ji Tingyang, who was completely unaware of the inside story, was smug when he received the good news that Mr. Zhou was going to cooperate with Ji's group.

He still holds a grudge against the Xie family for snatching away his new energy project for nothing last time.

Ji Tingyang even felt a sense of relief that he was able to take Zhou's project from Xie Changyan this time.

Even though his expression was indifferent, Lin Xu could still feel the happy aura emanating from him.

"That's amazing. You've won another big project. How about we have a big dinner tonight to celebrate?" Lin Xu praised.

Ji Tingyang pursed his lips, a hint of discomfort flashed in his eyes, "Can we not have a big meal and eat something else..."

"Okay, you can eat whatever you want."

"I want to eat scallion noodles..." His eyes flashed.

Lin Xu had always told him to take care of his health and not to work overtime all the time.

So he reduced the number of overtime jobs he worked after returning home, which resulted in him not having the midnight snack cooked by Lin Xu for a long time.

As he thought so, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Xu.

When he met her eyes filled with a faint smile, his ears beneath his hair flushed slightly.

"Okay, but you'll definitely feel hungry if you only eat noodles. I'll ask Sister Zhang to cook some other dishes, okay?" Lin Xu said.

All he wanted to eat was scallion noodles, nothing else mattered to him.

Ji Tingyang nodded.

"What should I ask Mrs. Zhang to make?" Lin Xu muttered and went into the kitchen.

Practice makes perfect. This time, Lin Xu was much more skilled at cooking noodles. In less than five or six minutes, he brought out a bowl of fragrant scallion noodles from the kitchen.

Ji Tingyang picked up the chopsticks, and a pair of hands suddenly reached out and snatched the scallion noodles in front of him.

The man picked up the big bowl and started eating directly with the soup.

In less than a moment, most of the bowl of scallion noodles was finished.

"What a coincidence that you came back from work. How did you know I was hungry?" Ji Zeqiu held the bowl and spoke with a smile.

Ji Tingyang's face suddenly became gloomy, like the sky before a thunderstorm, with a storm about to come.

He called out Ji Zeqiu's name word by word, gritting his teeth, his face terribly cold, "This is what my mother cooked for me!"

"Oh." Ji Zeqiu raised his eyebrows and handed the bowl forward, "Then I'll give it back to you?"

Half of the noodles were missing, and there was soup stained with Ji Zeqiu's saliva.

There was an icy chill in Ji Tingyang's eyes, and it seemed like there was murderous intent in them.

Who wants to eat his saliva!

but……

These are the noodles his mother cooked for him.

It was cooked by my mother.

Ji Tingyang paused for a moment, and a fleeting hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Before he could finish his struggle, Ji Zeqiu snatched the chopsticks from his hand and continued to eat the remaining noodles, "You didn't want it."

"..." Ji Tingyang clenched his fists at his side, making a creaking sound.

Lin Xu was afraid that the two brothers would fight again, so he said, "There's extra food in the kitchen, one bowl for each of you, and stop arguing."

After hearing her words, Ji Tingyang's expression improved.

Just before Lin Xu went into the kitchen to bring out another bowl of noodles, Ji Tingyang glanced at Ji Zeqiu who was eating noisily beside him, and the veins on his forehead bulged, "Ji Zeqiu, are you sick?"

"Who told you to eat alone?" Ji Zeqiu snorted.

Before, Ji Tingyang had boasted to him, covertly and explicitly, that his mother had cooked scallion noodles for him. It's understandable that he was feeling upset at that time.

He wants to eat too.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

But every time he saw Lin Xu's smile, the words he wanted to eat would go around in circles in his mouth and he would swallow them back into his stomach.

This matter had been on his mind for a long time.

I didn't expect that when I came back this time, I would happen to run into my mother cooking noodles.

Who cares about Ji Tingyang anymore?

Ji Tingyang gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to expose all the negative information about Ji Zeqiu.

As if he was worried that the last bowl of noodles would be snatched away by Ji Zeqiu, he hurriedly took a bite as soon as Lin Xu brought it out.

Ji Zeqiu rolled his eyes at him.

Looking at the two noisy brothers, Lin Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and somehow recalled the scenes from the past.

One afternoon, Ozawa Aki, who was two or three years old, had a nightmare. He woke up from the dream, clutching a teddy bear doll in his hand, and ran out of the bedroom crying.

No matter how the servants tried to coax him, he kept crying for his mother.

After Lin Xu received a call from the servant, he hurried home.

I didn't expect the house to be so quiet when I came back.

Lin Xu was surprised, "Where's Ze Qiu?"

The servant smiled and said, "The eldest young master has taken the second young master back to his room."

Lin Xu walked to the bedroom on the second floor and quietly opened the bedroom door.

I saw the two children lying on the bed together, hugging each other and falling asleep.

There were still traces of tears on Xiaoze Qiu's rosy cheeks. Her two little hands were nervously clutching Ji Tingyang's clothes, and their little heads were leaning against each other. The picture was so harmonious and beautiful.

The two brothers loved each other when they were young, but why did they become hostile to each other when they grew up?

Lin Xu also secretly took a photo at that time.

Did she save that photo on the cloud?

I don’t know if I can get it back.

Just as Lin Xu was trying hard to recall, a quick ring from her cell phone pulled her back from her previous thoughts.

She picked up her phone and took a look, it showed an unfamiliar call.

"Hello?" Lin Xu put the phone to his ear and answered.

"Hello, Miss Lin, I'm Shen Qingtang." The person on the other end of the phone identified himself.

"Are you looking for Ji Zeqiu? I'll ask him to pick up the phone..." Lin Xu said.

After all, it seems that the only person they have in common is Ji Zeqiu.

"No, I called you specifically." Shen Qingtang said quickly, "I thought about it for a while and felt that what you said to me before was right."

She took a deep breath.

"I decided to go abroad."
