“Mr. Ji doesn’t look well. Mr. Xi, please call 120 for him.”
After saying that, he pulled Li Ruan out.
The handsome man and beautiful woman are a perfect match, even from behind.
Ji Yunzhang: ...
It was his grandfather's birthday, and if he actually called 120, wouldn't he be scorned to death? So, he forced himself to stand up and stopped Xi Sang from making the call.
Xi Sang: ...As if I'm so willing to take care of you!
As long as you stay away from Miss Pear, I won't even glance at you if you die on the spot!
After the three left, Chen Manting also left with a dark expression.
She only found out today that Li Ruan and Ji Yunzhang had a past relationship. Seeing the resentment in Ji Yunzhang's eyes, she felt that this useless man could be used.
After taking Li Ruan downstairs, Xi Leng withdrew his hand from her waist.
Pear blinked quickly and realized that this person was definitely jealous.
Haha, that's hilarious! Xi Leng, let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness?
I'm not emotional at all, so don't get jealous!
She wanted to see how he would react when he discovered he had fallen in love with his kept woman.
Suppressing a smile, Li Ruan swayed her slender waist and stepped forward, grabbing President Xi's arm. "Mr. Xi, are you angry with me?"
Xi Leng turned around and said, "I'm not angry." It was the truth; he wasn't angry. After all, he had investigated her past and knew everything he needed to know.
It was quite obvious what happened tonight: Ji Yunzhang was pestering Li Ruan, and Li Ruan showed no intention of turning back.
Or perhaps Ji Yunzhang was simply unwilling to accept it, or perhaps he harbored malicious intentions and wanted to ruin Li Ruan's reputation. Otherwise, why would he jump out and accuse Li Ruan in such a situation?
But he felt a little uncomfortable, and the feeling came on rather inexplicably!
He wasn't after Li Ruan; he didn't even know who he was after.
"Really? If you're unhappy because of what Ji Yunzhang said, I can explain."
Xi Leng led her straight outside. What's there to explain?
She was completely innocent when she was with him.
Besides, who hasn't encountered a couple of jerks when they were young? It's not her fault that she got dumped.
"I'm not angry at all, I just think your taste in people used to be terrible."
Li Ruan smiled brightly: "That's not bad, it's downright blind."
Thankfully, I'm back to normal now!
His gaze fell on the man.
He had a straight back, handsome features, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs!
He possesses an innate air of asceticism!
With such a gem following behind, she will surely regain her sight even if she is blind!
Not to mention she actually slept with him!
Xi Leng: ...You're good at making fun of yourself.
Fu Jingnian discovered that someone was actually angry! It was rare to see Xi Leng so open about his emotions.
Over the years, even when he was upset by his family, he never showed his emotions so obviously. He felt that Xi Leng was numb. He seemed fine in every way, but in reality, he was just living his life in a routine manner. The reason he became a workaholic was just to pass the time.
However, things may change in the future.
After giving Pei Yizhi a look, the two went over and nodded to Li Ruan as a greeting. Then they deliberately asked, "Brother Leng, what were you two doing upstairs?"
Xi Leng looked at Li Ruan: "Are you hungry?"
Li Ruan had only just grabbed a bite to eat when that lunatic Ji Yunzhang called her away. She didn't even have a proper drink, and she's still quite hungry.
"Um."
Xi Leng looked at Fu Jingnian: "Let's go, let's find a quiet place to eat."
Fu Jingnian: ...
Half an hour later.
The four of them, along with Feng Qingmo who had just finished surgery and rushed over, sat down in a Chinese restaurant. After the cold dishes were served, Fu Jingnian picked up a 30-year-old vintage wine and filled everyone's glasses. "Is it alright for Li Ruan to have a glass?"
Xi Leng looked at Li Ruan: "If you can't drink it, then don't drink it."
Li Ruan deliberately leaned close to the man's ear and asked teasingly, "My dear sugar daddy, are you afraid I'll get drunk and cause trouble and embarrass you, or are you simply worried about me?"
His ears were a little itchy, so Xi Leng leaned back slightly, creating some distance between himself and the little imp. "Stop fooling around." He didn't answer aloud, but he seemed to already have the answer in his heart.
"You still haven't answered me?"
Xi Leng's response was to take the wine glass away. "I don't like drinking juice. Have them squeeze a small portion of each for you."
"But there will still be some left. What will we do with the rest?"
"I'll drink it." Then she told the waiter to get her some juice.
The remaining three men clicked their tongues in unison, their expressions towards Xi Leng clearly conveying: So this is the real Xi Leng.
Xi Leng: "What? You want to drink too?"
Pei Jingzhi hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, no, no, we don't want to, we love drinking!"
Who could have imagined this? He was clueless at first, but once he got it, he really knew it!
Look how spoiled they are!
The juice was served quickly, and thankfully there were only four kinds, so Li Ruan could drink her juice with peace of mind.
Xi Leng served her a couple of bites of food before getting down to business with his friend, "Are you interested in building a mountain resort together?"
"Hmm? What, you have some ideas now?"
"Isn't the Jiang family planning to build a resort in Dongcheng? I think it's quite a promising venture. Do you three want to get involved?"
Fu Jingnian and the other two exchanged glances. "Did that guy surnamed Jiang offend you?"
Xi Leng took a sip of his drink and said in an extremely calm tone, "He's worthy?"
"I just don't like him."
Pear Soft: ...
Pei Yizhi glanced at Li Ruan. He had disliked Jiang for a long time, but today he suddenly became ill. Could it be that Jiang was blind and had his eye on Li Ruan?
Very well, he was so angry for the sake of a beautiful woman!
"Are you serious about building a resort?"
Xi Leng: "Whether we're serious or not depends on whether we can acquire that land. The bidding is at the end of the month, and the timeframe seems a bit tight."
Fu Jingnian's eyes lit up: "Should I spread the word first?"
Xi Leng raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "Okay."
Now the other three understood. This was a classic case of taking a risk even if there was no chance. As long as the Xu family showed interest in acquiring the land, everyone's bid would increase by at least 20%. The Jiang family had already prepared the planning map and certainly didn't want the land in the East City to fall into someone else's hands, so they would have to spend more real money.
If he were smarter, he would have simply given up that piece of land, and the Xi family wouldn't have lost out by acquiring the land in the eastern suburbs.
But no matter the outcome, the person surnamed Jiang will feel the pinch.
After finishing their business, Xi Leng focused on his meal, and he even drank the juice that Li Ruan pushed towards him that she wouldn't drink.
Of course, all four glasses of juice are small, so they won't take up much space even if you drink them all.
He ate slowly and deliberately, and even when he was very hungry, he ate very politely. He finished a small bowl of beef noodles before putting down his chopsticks.
"Shall we change venues?"
