"..." Cao Nana's face fell immediately upon hearing this.
The Cao Group is in turmoil, and the company has suffered losses of tens of millions, and it has yet to stop the losses.
She went out to dinner with friends today hoping to secure financial support from some of her classmates' companies to help the Cao family overcome their crisis...
"Oh!" Ji Zhinan looked surprised, as if he had just realized something.
She pointed at Cao Nana's pale face, which was covered in a thick layer of powder, and asked, "What happened to Miss Cao's face? Why are there so many bruises and purple spots? And why is there such a big scab around her mouth?"
Cao Nana's expression changed drastically, and she immediately covered her face.
This is evidence of her shame!
On the day of Xiaxia's engagement ceremony, she was pinned to the ground and beaten by that spoiled young lady from the Xing family, losing all face.
Even now, so much time has passed, and the wounds on her face haven't fully healed, requiring foundation to cover them up, which shows how much damage she did back then.
She took in his unpleasant expression, and Ji Zhinan smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, Miss Xing is my best friend. Actually, she's a very nice person, loyal and generous. Her only small flaw is that she's too protective of her own and can't stand hearing others say bad things about the people she cares about."
"Miss Cao, by pointing out my flaws to her face, aren't you indirectly telling my best friend that you want to be beaten up by her?"
"You!!!" Cao Nana felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow or utter a sound, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Me?” Ji Zhinan raised an eyebrow and withdrew his smile: “This can be considered as us teaching Miss Cao, who has never experienced any major storms, a lesson.”
"Miss Cao, life is full of unpredictable changes. You must keep your mouth shut, or you won't even know when you'll get into trouble."
“Furthermore…” she narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in them, “there are some men you shouldn’t even be thinking about.”
"Miss Cao should really try to understand this principle."
After saying that, Ji Zhinan ignored her and walked away without turning her head.
"..." Cao Nana still looked dejected.
How come Ji Zhinan is so eloquent these days...?
She turned around to chase after him and demand an explanation, but after only a few steps, seeing the scene in front of her, her feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she couldn't take another step.
Ji Zhinan bumped into the man as she left the restroom.
Seeing Gu Yibei there, she was somewhat surprised: "What brings you here?"
"I was worried about you because you hadn't gone back yet," the man said.
Hearing this, Ji Zhinan smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a child anymore, what's there to worry about?"
Gu Yibei pulled her into his arms, placed his hand on her slender waist, and answered seriously, "My wife's face is too perfect, which will arouse a lot of people's envy, jealousy and hatred. I'm afraid that my wife will be bullied by others."
Ji Zhinan looked at him: "You heard everything?"
Gu Yibei raised an eyebrow, his expression leaving no room for argument.
It seems that the Cao family's suppression is not severe enough, allowing their eldest daughter time to cause trouble for Nan Nan.
He suddenly lowered his head, pressed one hand against the back of her head, and kissed her directly without any warning or prior notice.
Ji Zhinan was forced to raise her head and accept the man's kiss.
Gu Yibei's kiss was overflowing with tenderness; he was very patient and considerate.
After a short while, he reluctantly let her go.
Ji Zhinan's cheeks flushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "What's wrong?"
