Chapter 86: Rank Too Low

Seeing that the three of them were chatting happily and showed no sign of paying attention to her, Ji Huayan almost couldn't maintain the expression on her face.

"elder brother!"

She gritted her teeth and raised her voice until Ji Huacheng could no longer pretend not to hear her. Then she forced a smile and asked, "It's so late, I'm hungry. Since I met Brother Xiyue here, why not invite Brother Xiyue to have a meal together?"

She didn't mention Zhou Nuan who was next to Gu Xiyue at all, as if she wasn't there.

Ji Huacheng was very embarrassed. He knew what his sister was thinking, but since she had already spoken, he couldn't refute her directly. He could only say, "Director Gu, are you coming with us?"

Gu Xiyue said calmly, "No need, we have already eaten, Mr. Ji, go by yourself, the kids are waiting at home, I have to go home to take care of them."

The words about going home to take care of the children coming out of the tall and cold Gu Xiyue's mouth sounded both discordant and inexplicably harmonious. Ji Huayan felt very uncomfortable hearing them.

"Brother Xiyue is a man who can accomplish great things. How can he be hindered by household chores like taking care of children? Sister Zhou really doesn't know how to be sympathetic."

She called her Sister Zhou.

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows. To sow discord? That's it? Isn't this level too low?

"Can't a man take care of a child?"

Ji Huayan smiled reluctantly, "That's not what I meant. I just saw other women staying well in the countryside, taking good care of their children, not causing trouble for their husbands, and not putting on makeup. That's what I felt, it's not directed at you, Sister Zhou."

Her eyes swept over Zhou Nuan, and she almost couldn't hold back the jealousy in her heart.

Obviously, it is just an ordinary shirt and denim skirt, but why do they have an indescribable beauty when worn by this woman? She has dressed up carefully, but compared with this woman's casualness, it seems that she has tried too hard.

"Ms. Ji is well-educated, but her thinking is so pedantic," Zhou Nuan said indifferently, "It's really hard to describe."

She looked at her calmly, with no trace of sympathy or compassion in her eyes.

Ji Huayan was stunned, and then she was furious: Why would a woman from the countryside look at her like that? ! A village woman, what does she know! !

She couldn't get angry in front of her brother and Gu Xiyue, so her smile looked ugly no matter how she looked at it.

Ji Huacheng couldn't bear to watch any more, so he just said to Gu Xiyue apologetically, "My sister has caused you trouble, don't pay attention to her."

"elder brother!!"

Ji Huacheng glared at Ji Huayan warningly, ignored her, and pulled Gu Xiyue aside to talk about business.

After making sure that the two could not hear him, Ji Huayan stopped smiling and glared at Zhou Nuan coldly, "What kind of magic potion did you use? Why is Brother Xiyue ignoring me now? He used to be very nice to me."

This is thought-provoking.

If someone else didn't know the truth, they would think that there was something going on between her and Gu Xiyue. I'm afraid the seeds of doubt would be planted in their hearts after hearing these words.

This is another trick of sowing discord. She really uses this trick to perfection. The tone and expression are inexplicably a bit like the ones Zhou Bing used when she was jealous of Zhou's father being nice to her original self.

"You don't have to flatter yourself. As far as I know, Gu Xiyue has never looked at you straight in the eye. How can he be so nice to you? Is there something wrong with you? Are you suffering from hallucinations?"

Zhou Nuan pointed at her head and glanced at her sympathetically, "No wonder you can't understand what people say, it turns out there's something wrong with your brain, tsk tsk."

Ji Huayan's face turned red with anger.

This woman!! Why is she different from the ones she has met before? Why doesn’t she fall for it? Why doesn’t she cry and ask for proof like those other women? How can she be so calm and composed!

"You are sick!" She couldn't help but retort.

Just as the words came out of his mouth, the fisherman came back with the newly caught seafood. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Hey, hey, hey, you can't fight here."

When Zhou Nuan saw him carrying seafood in his hand, she immediately went over to greet him, "Boss, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

She didn't leave because she was waiting for the boss to come back and pack some food to take home for Qin Yuezhi and Su Hang to taste. She had to say that the boss's cooking skills were really good. No wonder Tian Yanjing and the others came all the way here.

"Boss, please pack up some of what we just ate."

"We want it too!" Ji Huayan was not willing to be outdone.

Although she didn't know what Zhou Nuan and the others had just eaten, as long as it was something she wanted, she couldn't help but want to grab it.

The fisherman boss was in a dilemma, "I'm unlucky today, there's only one left and I want to keep it for myself..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Huayan couldn't wait, "Of course give it to me, I'll pay more! How much do you want? I want it all."

"It's not a question of money." The fisherman explained patiently.

Ji Huayan sneered, "You just want to raise the price on the spot, why are you explaining so much? Just tell me a number!"

The fisherman's boss looked unhappy.

Zhou Nuan smiled but didn't say anything.

Ji Huayan probably didn't know them very well. Don't be fooled by their dark skin, slippers and lazy looks. In fact, they have very bad tempers. They would rather not do business than suffer bullying or accept threats.

Sure enough, the fisherman's eyes widened, "Money? You have money, are you showing off? Who are you? Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm going to keep this for myself!"

Ji Huayan was scolded in front of Zhou Nuan, and was embarrassed. "Aren't you running a business? Is this how you entertain guests?"

"My store will do business with whoever it wants. Where are you from? Who introduced you here?"

Zhou Nuan understood what he meant. These restaurants were not real restaurants. They were not open to customers on weekdays. They would only open for business when they were in a good mood or had regular customers. People could not eat there whenever they wanted. But they were so popular because of the fresh ingredients and excellent craftsmanship.

If Gu Xiyue hadn’t brought it over, Zhou Nuan probably wouldn’t have been able to taste such delicious food.

Ji Huayan obviously didn't understand what was meant. She pointed at Zhou Nuan with a sullen look on her face. "You're running a business, so why did you entertain her and not me? You're looking down on others! I'll definitely eat this meal today!"

This sentence completely annoyed the fisherman's boss, "She's good-looking and easy to talk to, I like her, so what? I won't do business with you, what can you do to me?" He stuffed the seafood in his hand into Zhou Nuan's hand, "Take it, it's for you."

Zhou Nuan looked at the seafood in her hand: ... What a pleasant surprise.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know who my biological father is?" Ji Huayan spoke without thinking.

Unfortunately, the fisherman's boss didn't respond to her at all. "I don't care who you are. I won't do business with you even if your father is the king! Get out, get out!"

He started to chase them away, and Ji Huayan was about to get angry, but Ji Huacheng, who had heard the news and rushed over, dragged her into the car.
