Next to the parking lot exit, there was an off-road vehicle lying sideways.
Chi Zhan leaned against the front of the car, a cigarette burning between his slender fingertips.
His indifferent gaze fell on Jiang Lai's face through the car windshield.
Jiang Lai didn't even look at him, turned the steering wheel, and sped along the road.
Chi Yi also had no idea why his young master came here so early in the morning to seek trouble.
Chi Zhan turned around and got in the car.
Chi Yi quickly sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
The next second, the car rushed out like an arrow.
He quickly grabbed the handle to steady himself.
The black off-road vehicle was very conspicuous even in the endless stream of traffic during the morning rush hour.
After a while, Chi Zhan caught up with Jiang Lai's car.
At a red traffic light, the car stopped steadily next to Jiang Lai.
On such a cold day, Chi Zhan opened the window and casually draped his arm over it, the dial on his wrist reflecting the cold light.
Ji Jiamu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took a look and asked Jiang Lai, "What does it mean that he came to block you so early in the morning?"
Jiang Lai looked ahead, "Why are you blocking me? Maybe he's on his way to work."
"But he..."
"He bought a house in my neighborhood and lives across from me."
Jiang Lai interrupted, "I have money to burn."
Seeing that Jiang Lai didn't want to talk about Chi Zhan, Ji Jiamu shut up.
After the green light, the two cars started almost at the same time and drove side by side all the way.
It was not until the road turned towards the airport and became narrower that Chi Zhan followed Jiang Lai.
"I won't take you to the temple. Wait a few days, and when Ruan Ruan has finished cleaning up the temple, we can go to the temple together."
"Damn it, I'll wait for you."
Ji Jiamu entered the airport with his luggage.
He glanced at the SUV parked behind Jiang Lai and waved at her with a bright smile.
Jiang Lai rolled down the car window and waved to him, then waited for him to get in and drove away.
She stopped by the shop on the way.
The car parked in the underground garage, and as soon as she got out, she was blocked by Chi Zhan.
She ignored him and walked aside.
The man also followed her and took a step to the side.
Jiang Lai was annoyed and looked up to scold him, but she saw his eyes turned cold and he raised his hand to hold her chin and lift it up.
The thin white neck was tense, making the red mark more conspicuous.
Chi Zhan's eyes turned cold, "You slept with him?"
Jiang Lai reacted, slapped his hand away, and replied coldly: "This is not something you, as an ex-boyfriend, should ask."
When she was about to leave, Chi Zhan grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
Jiang Laiqi kicked him and said, "Why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"
"If you keep grabbing me, I'll sue you for sexual harassment."
Chi Zhan stared at her neck and remained motionless no matter how she hit him.
Jiang Lai was tired of fighting and shouted, "Let go!"
The man didn't move.
Jiang Lai was so angry that he was speechless. When he spoke again, he spoke every word with his back teeth grinding.
"Boss Chi, you've forgotten. Do you need me to remind you that you told me coldly yesterday that you were going to marry Luo Nanqing?"
When Luo Nanqing was mentioned, Chi Zhan let go of her.
Jiang Lai laughed out of genuine anger this time.
She pushed Chi Zhan away and headed towards the elevator.
When she arrived at the store, the clerk greeted her and saw the red mark on her neck, his eyes became ambiguous, "Boss Jiang and Boss Chi are in harmony."
Jiang Lai stood in front of the mirror and touched the red mark on his neck.
She patted the clerk who was joking and said, "Don't let that yellow crap get into your head. My hand slipped while I was shaving and I scratched my neck."
"Also, don't mention Chi Zhan anymore. We're done."
“…”
…
Chi Zhan returned to the hospital and his mother was waiting for him.
"Can we talk?"
Chi Zhan sat down next to Chi's mother.
Chi's mother looked at his expression and asked, "Did you have a fight with Jiang Lai?"
Chi Zhan didn't respond.
Mother Chi thought of him behind her car yesterday.
I guess he must have heard it when Jiang Lai introduced her boyfriend.
Yesterday I saw him not doing anything, and I thought he was really patient, but he ran away early this morning.
"Did Jiang Lai hit your neck?"
Chi Zhan suppressed his emotions and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me."
Chi's mother didn't say anything more and said, "Cancel the wedding with Luo Nanqing."
Chi Zhan refused, "If you just want to talk about this, I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Chi's mother held him down and advised earnestly, "Son, this is your first time in love. You don't understand girls' psychology. If you hold a wedding with Luo Nanqing this time, Jiang Lai will not forgive you."
Chi Zhan showed no emotion, "Isn't this what you want?"
Mother Chi choked.
They didn't want him and Jiang Lai to continue their relationship, but they wouldn't watch him and Luo Nanqing get married either.
He had agreed to it before because Luo Nanqing was pregnant with his child. Now that the child is gone, there is no need for a wedding.
With Luo Nanqing's calculating mind, if she continues to pester Chi Zhan, no matter how many rich girls she finds for him, he will not be able to get married successfully.
When he met someone with a bad temper, he had a quarrel with Luo Nanqing.
Where is the face of the Chi family?
"Son, Luo Nanqing doesn't want to marry you either. If you force her like this, it will backfire on you. It's not worth it."
"Mom means that we should just send her abroad. After all, it's been confirmed that the baby in her belly is not yours."
"It's time to get along with Jiang Lai. You two have different perspectives and are bound to have conflicts. When the time comes, Mom will choose a wife who is suitable for you."
Chi Zhan's ears were callused from hearing these words so many times.
"Mom, I'm not a teenager anymore. You left me out in the wilderness. I have no choice but to move on and find a way to survive."
"You've learned a lot, haven't you? If you weren't good enough, how could you possibly be liked by so many people?"
Chi Zhan hummed calmly, "I don't deny that you have given me these abilities, resources, and so on, so I haven't abandoned the Chi family until now, but if you force me again, I can only choose a way that makes it easier for me."
Mother Chi was silent.
But I'm not quite willing to do that.
"Chi Zhan, if you abandon the Chi family, you will not be able to protect Qi Jianglai at all."
"Not to mention us, you've made a lot of enemies yourself. So many eyes are watching you. If you give up, they won't feel they've gained anything. They'll just take your place, seize your rights, and then crush you to death in the mud."
Chi Zhan pulled his lips indifferently, "So, I'm leaving her a bright future."
“…”
Mother Chi was so angry that her heart ached. "Don't you care about us or the Chi family at all?"
Chi Zhan's voice was always indifferent. "You just need to watch quietly, and I will naturally not let anything happen to the Chi family."
Mother Chi wanted to say something, but Chi Zhan raised his hand to interrupt her.
Chi Yi stepped forward and said, "Madam, I will take you back to Dong."
Chi's mother hesitated to speak, but Chi Yi urged her, "Madam, please."
“…”
Chi's mother just stood up and left. When she got into the elevator, she asked Chi Yi.
"Did you visit Jiang Lai this morning?"
Chi Yi bent down and said, "Madam, you can beat me, scold me, and punish me, but don't ask me about the young master. I will never tell you even if I die."
Chi's mother: "..."
He is so loyal.
…
After Jiang Lai left the shop, he went to look for Ruan Nanzhi.
Ruan Nanzhi took out the invitation and said, "I can't wait for now. Chi Zhan's wedding is in three days."
As Chi Zhan's childhood friend, it was impossible for Zhou Fang not to attend.
Jiang Lai glanced at the invitation and said, "Then I'll go over and wait for you."
"Are you planning to stay here for a while, or are you planning to get married?"
Facing Ruan Nanzhi's teasing, Jiang Lai lifted her hair and said meaningfully, "Well, who knows?"
Ruan Nanzhi said: "I support you no matter what you do, as long as you are happy."
…
Jiang Lai sorted out her work at the company and booked a flight to Licheng. Before taking off, she sent a message to Ji Jiamu.
I had just put away my phone and was about to go to sleep when the person next to me got up, and then another person sat down.
The familiar smell of clear tobacco made her frown.
