Chapter 524 Trying to Blind
Everyone looked at each other, and finally they were defeated by Ji Wan's eyes that were burning with fire. They all stood up and left.
The assistant followed behind Ji Wan and whispered, "Boss Ji, are you really sure? What if..."
"Nothing can happen." Ji Wan's steps didn't stop for a moment, his back straight as a pine tree. "We must win."
She rubbed her swollen temples. Days of high-pressure work had left her exhausted, but she couldn't fall down. The Chi family, and she herself, both needed this victory.
At the same time, a low-key black car stopped at the sanatorium where Chi Wenyan was.
Su Jiujiu stepped out of the car in exquisite high heels.
She was wearing a well-tailored white dress today, which made her look pitiful. Her face was lightly made up, with just the right amount of haggardness.
She walked straight to a small independent building deep inside the sanatorium.
This is where Chi Wenyan is temporarily recuperating.
Ever since the "accident" that night, he had temporarily handed over the company's affairs to others on the grounds of being unwell, and avoided everyone's sight.
Su Jiujiu took a deep breath, an expression of worry and grievance brewing on her face, and gently knocked on the door.
"Come in." A man's slightly hoarse and tired voice came from inside.
Su Jiujiu pushed the door open and immediately saw Chi Wenyan reclining on the sofa. He was wearing loose home clothes, his hair was a little messy, and there was a blue stubble on his chin. He no longer had the vigor and vitality of the past, but had a bit more decadent sexiness.
"Wen Yan..." Su Jiujiu's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
Chi Wenyan saw her and frowned unhappily. "Why are you here?" His tone was distant and cold. Although he was drunk that night, he had some memories. He clearly remembered that he and Su Jiujiu had not had any substantial relationship. This woman was very scheming.
Su Jiujiu seemed unaware of his indifference. She walked straight up to him and gently placed an ultrasound report and a few photos on the coffee table.
"Wen Yan, I know you don't want to see me, but I have to come." Her voice was filled with tears, and her fingers trembled slightly as she pointed at the ultrasound report, "I... I'm pregnant."
Chi Wenyan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his gaze shot towards Su Jiujiu like a sharp sword: "What did you say?"
"It's yours, Wen Yan." Su Jiujiu raised her tearful face, about to cry, "I know you don't believe it. That night... we were all drunk..."
She picked up the photos and handed them to Chi Wenyan.
The photo was taken from a very tricky angle, capturing the two of them slumped over the bed in a hotel room, their clothes disheveled. Chi Wenyan was shirtless, while Su Jiujiu, her shoulders half exposed and her hair disheveled, nestled in his arms. The image was so ambiguous it would have sparked wild speculation in anyone who saw it.
Chi Wenyan's face turned pale in an instant. He snatched the photo away, his fingers turning white from the force.
"This is impossible!" He growled, his chest heaving violently. He remembered that he finally pushed her away, and then lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was alone in the room.
"Wen Yan, I know it's hard for you to accept this right now." Su Jiujiu lowered her eyelids, tears glistening on her long lashes. "I don't want this to happen, but the child is innocent. It took me a lot of courage to come to you. If you don't believe me, we can do a paternity test."
Her pitiful appearance, coupled with those "conclusive evidence" photos and the glaring B-ultrasound report, were like a heavy hammer, hitting Chi Wenyan's heart hard.
He suddenly raised his head, staring at Su Jiujiu's tearful face with complicated eyes. What on earth does this woman want to do?
"What do you want?" Chi Wenyan's voice was icy cold. He didn't believe that Su Jiujiu would come so "simply" just to tell him this news.
Su Jiujiu's eyes flashed with a subtle smugness, but it was quickly replaced by grievance: "I just want to give the child a name. Wen Yan, I know you and Ji Wan are getting a divorce. I don't want to cause you any trouble at this time, but, hey."
She seemed to be hesitant to speak, and her weak and helpless look was enough to make any man feel pity.
Chi Wenyan only felt irritated and nauseous. He stared at Su Jiujiu, trying to find a flaw in her face.
"You go back first." He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and confusion in his heart, "I will handle this matter."
Su Jiujiu had achieved her goal, so she decided to quit while she was ahead. She nodded submissively, "Okay, Wen Yan, I'll wait for you. But please hurry up, I'm afraid if Miss Ji finds out, the misunderstanding will get even worse."
Her deliberate mention of Ji Wan was undoubtedly another stab in Chi Wenyan's heart.
Looking at Su Jiujiu's reluctant departure, Chi Wenyan scratched his hair in annoyance and threw the photos to the ground.
A huge conspiracy is quietly enveloping him.
At this moment, Ji Wan is still fighting alone for the survival of the Chi family.
The atmosphere in the conference room was so solemn that water could almost drip out.
Ji Wan sat at one end of the long conference table, facing several key leaders of the municipal government.
A thick contract lay spread out before her, every word of it bearing on the Chi family's future. Days of exhausting thought, sleepless negotiations, and mediation had left her thin face paler, but her eyes, remarkably bright, shone with an undeniable resolve.
"Mr. Ji, regarding the future planning of this land, we hope to see a plan that is more sincere and can better drive regional development." A leader spoke in a calm tone, but with a pressure that should not be underestimated.
Ji Wan nodded slightly, his voice clear and steady. "Please rest assured, leaders. Chi's plans for the Chengnan project are by no means limited to commercial development. We plan to incorporate the latest environmental protection concepts to create a new urban complex integrating commerce, culture, leisure, and ecology. Here is our latest supplementary plan, please review it."
She handed over a supplementary document that was clearly organized, with detailed data and every detail carefully considered.
Time passed minute by minute, and the only sound in the conference room was the rustling of documents.
Finally, the leading leader put down the documents, exchanged glances with the others, and then looked at Ji Wan with a smile of approval. "Mr. Ji, your proposal is very visionary and bold. We agree in principle."
Ji Wan's tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment, and a huge feeling of fatigue swept over him along with joy.
She extended her hand and shook hands solemnly: "Thank you all for your trust, the Chi family will definitely live up to your trust."
The signing ceremony concluded with brief but enthusiastic applause. When Ji Wan's name and the Chi Group's seal appeared on the last page of the contract, the scratching sound of the pen tip across the paper was like a heavenly sound.
