"..." Gu Yibei looked at Lin Que, who was startled, as if he were a fool.
"Shirakawa," he said coolly.
“Mr. Gu.” Bai Chuan nodded slightly.
"Stop. Also, hand over the data to ZN and compete for that land."
Bai Chuan was stunned for a second upon hearing Gu Yibei's instructions, his expression showing a hint of surprise. He quickly recovered and nodded, "Yes, sir."
………
The next day, because there was a problem with the bathroom in Ji Zhinan's room, she went to the public bathroom outside to wash up.
Ji Zhixia suddenly pushed open the door and came in. When she saw that Ji Zhinan was also there, her eyes showed disgust.
Ji Zhinan looked up and saw Ji Zhixia's annoying face in the mirror. Her mood was already bad because of the phone call she received from "Mr. Gu" yesterday, and her face looked even worse.
He lowered his head, took a sip of water to rinse his mouth, and spat the water into the sink.
The two sisters ignored each other.
Ji Zhixia was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She smiled smugly, reached out and touched the necklace around her neck, and started to show off.
"This is a new diamond necklace my mom bought for me. It's very expensive. Each diamond on it is quite pricey, much more expensive than some people's bracelets."
After showing off her necklace by twisting her neck and striking various poses, she was just trying to flaunt it.
Ji Zhinan didn't even look at it. After rinsing her mouth, she put the toothbrush in the cup to rinse it, poured the water into the sink, and then turned on the tap to wash her face.
Ji Zhixia assumed that Ji Zhinan was "jealous," and immediately became even more smug, showing off even more enthusiastically.
He went on and on, boasting for a long time before turning his back on Ji Zhinan.
"Little sister, where's your bracelet? I haven't seen you wearing it. That's your most expensive piece of jewelry; it's a shame you don't wear it every day..."
Ji Zhinan pulled out a washcloth to wipe his face.
Ji Zhinan had thrown away the bracelet that Madam Ji had given her, but he didn't know where it was.
Ji Zhinan didn't care for gifts that weren't given sincerely.
"Ji Zhinan, don't think I don't know you used to like Brother Zeyu." Ji Zhixia sneered twice: "Aunt Mu said that once I recover, she'll let me get engaged to Brother Zeyu, in a very grand way! Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu both like me very much. Mu Zeyu and I are a match made in heaven. You're nothing! You're just an ugly duckling, a toad, destined to stay in a stinking ditch your whole life!"
Ji Zhinan threw the used washcloth into the trash can, looked up at Ji Zhixia in the mirror, and gave a forced smile.
"My sister went through so much trouble, crying and begging Grandpa to release you from the mental hospital. If I were my sister, I would choose to keep a low profile."
"..."
She turned her head and met Ji Zhixia's resentful gaze, her smile widening: "Sister is right, I did indeed like Mu Zeyu."
"!!!"
He admitted it! Ji Zhinan actually admitted it!
Ji Zhixia's gaze towards her was even more unfriendly!
“However…” Ji Zhinan paused, then continued, “It’s forgivable. It’s all because I was too young back then and couldn’t tell the difference between a person and a dog. Fortunately, I realized my mistake and woke up in time. Since my sister likes things I don’t want so much, I have no choice but to throw the trash away, as a way of giving my sister face.”
"You!" Ji Zhixia's eyes widened.
"Shh—" Ji Zhinan put his finger to his lips, his eyes half-closed: "My sister is still recovering, and being irritable and easily angered will affect her recovery."
"..."
