Chapter 84 She stood in front of him
The whole series of words he had prepared, including ridicule, charity, and showing off his charm, were all blocked in his throat by her single word "yes".
This is not right.
It felt like he had put all his strength into a punch, but ended up hitting a ball of cotton. Not only did he fail to hurt the other person, but he also felt a tightness in his chest.
He moved his mouth and was about to speak when a steady sound of footsteps came closer from behind him.
Jiang Chejin and Xu Yueqing turned their heads at the same time.
The lights in the courtyard were dim.
Ji Bingqian was standing a few steps away. No one knew when he appeared or how long he had been standing there.
His gaze passed Jiang Chejin and immediately fell on Xu Yueqing's red and swollen face.
In an instant, the temperature in those bottomless eyes dropped sharply. "You hit her?"
Ji Bingqian's voice was not loud, but it was like a knife tempered with ice, stabbing straight at Jiang Chejin.
Jiang Chejin's heart skipped a beat when he saw this look, and he instinctively shook his head quickly.
What a joke, how could he possibly do that!
Ji Bingqian turned his gaze back to Xu Yueqing, with a silent question in his eyes.
Xu Yueqing met his gaze and shook her head.
Ji Bingqian's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Who hit me?"
Xu Yueqing didn't want to answer this question in front of Jiang Chejin.
So she avoided the question and asked Ji Bingqian instead.
"Mr. Ji, have you finished your business?"
After saying this, Xu Yueqing remembered that Ji Bingqian asked her not to call him Mr. Ji anymore.
Never mind, I'm too lazy to correct it.
She herself thought it was nothing, but when Ji Bingqian heard this name, it took on a different meaning.
In front of Jiang Chejin, she took the initiative to distance herself from him, being polite yet distant.
Ji Bingqian's eyes darkened, but there was no extra expression on his face. He just nodded lightly.
Jiang Chejin watched the interaction between the two.
The evil fire in his heart that had been blocked by cotton suddenly burned up again.
"Uncle!"
Jiang Chejin couldn't help but speak to Ji Bingqian, his tone full of uncontrollable questioning.
"You've been so close to Xu Yueqing once or twice, shouldn't you explain it to me?"
Ji Bingqian finally took his eyes off Xu Yueqing's face and turned his head to the side.
The look was indifferent, but it carried a sense of oppression that left no one inescapable.
He asked back.
"What is your identity?"
This one sentence left Jiang Chejin speechless.
I'm her boyfriend!
I am the one she loves to death!
The words rolled around in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Because he saw the sarcasm in Ji Bingqian's eyes.
"I……"
"You've broken up."
Jiang Chejin froze completely, and then a surge of hot blood mixed with humiliation suddenly rushed to his head, turning his face pale and blue.
Broke up.
These words, spoken from Xu Yueqing's mouth, were like a knife, cutting him so hard that he couldn't tell exactly where he felt uncomfortable.
But when it came out of his uncle's mouth, it became the final epitaph, carrying a sense of judgment.
Why?
There was a voice in his heart shouting wildly.
You are my uncle, not her uncle!
It would be fine if you didn't help me, but why do you keep helping this woman Xu Yueqing again and again?
Jiang Chejin met Ji Bingqian's bottomless eyes, as if trying to dig out an answer from them.
He took a step forward, the distance between them shortened, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became stronger.
"You two," he pressed, "really have no other relationship?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yueqing stood sideways in front of Ji Bingqian without any hesitation.
