Chapter 88 The Old Man's Questioning
Jiang Chejin's shaky self-esteem was completely shattered after Ji Bingqian's words.
The blood in his body was clamoring, rushing against his reason.
But he didn't dare to get angry with Ji Bingqian.
He subconsciously fixed his eyes on Xu Yueqing.
He saw the redness and swelling on her face that had not yet completely subsided, and his heart felt like it was stabbed by something, but the slight pain was soon drowned out by the more turbulent embarrassment.
"In your eyes," he heard his voice as dry as sandpaper rubbing against each other, "you also think that I can't do anything?"
Xu Yueqing thought the question itself was ridiculous.
Does her opinion matter?
When had he ever cared about what she thought?
Was it when she was staying up late to draw for his project, while he was flirting with Xu Yingluo on the phone?
Or when her mother was critically ill and he found her annoying?
She raised her eyelids lightly: "Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me."
Jiang Chejin's chest tightened, and a sense of paranoia surged up.
He stubbornly wanted an answer.
"Just answer me, yes or no."
Xu Yueqing was too lazy to even move his eyebrows.
She turned her head and looked at Ji Bingqian.
"let's go."
Ji Bingqian nodded, and the eyes he looked at Jiang Chejin were full of warning: "Don't harass Yueqing again in the future."
After saying that, he gave another reminder.
"Come in, the old man is waiting for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver drove the Bentley over and stopped it steadily in front of the two of them.
Ji Bingqian signaled Xu Yueqing to get in the car with his eyes.
Xu Yueqing didn't even look at Jiang Chejin again, she just opened the car door and got in.
Ji Bingqian also got into the car.
In the few seconds before the car door closed, Jiang Chejin's mind went blank, and he had only one thought: catch her.
He didn't know what to say if he caught her.
But he just didn't want her to leave him like this.
"Bang."
Until the dull sound of the door closing hit his heart like a heavy hammer, shocking him back to his senses.
The thought of catching someone, along with his half-extended hand, froze awkwardly in mid-air.
It was not until the car started smoothly and merged into the night that Jiang Chejin realized that his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot and he could not move.
The night wind was very cold, causing his cheeks to hurt, but it could not extinguish the two flames of unyielding fire in his eyes.
He will achieve results.
He swore that he must come up with a few decent projects to make everyone shut up and make Xu Yueqing look at him with admiration!
Let her know that she has chosen the wrong person!
Make her regret her choice today!
Thinking of this, Jiang Chejin seemed to regain control of his body. He reluctantly raised his stiff feet and walked towards the brightly lit main building of the old house.
The warm air that blew towards him, mixed with the unique sandalwood scent of the old house, not only did not make him relax, but instead was like an invisible net, making him tense all over.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I was met with a sharp, scrutinizing gaze.
The old man was being supported by a servant as he walked out of the inner hall. His face, covered with traces of time, had no expression, but his cloudy yet shrewd eyes made Jiang Chejin's heart skip a beat.
The anger and embarrassment on his face were too much to be subdued.
"Grandfather."
Jiang Chejin subconsciously straightened his back, and the aggressive look on the outside was instantly suppressed, turning him back into the relatively obedient grandson.
The old man just nodded lightly, his eyes stayed on his face for two seconds, and then his brows frowned.
"Why do you look so angry? Who did you get angry with outside again?"
