Chapter 458 Pretending (1/2)



"I'm telling the truth, don't be angry."

Jiang Lai understood as soon as he heard what he said.

She raised a hypothesis: "If he is diagnosed with a mental illness, can he be considered an incompetent person?"

Chi Zhan peeled the shrimp for her and asked in a negotiating tone, "Can we let them handle it themselves?"

Jiang Lai refused the shrimp he was peeling. "What Huo Qinghuai did was a crime. Do you want me to let my sister get hurt while I deal with a criminal like Huo Qinghuai?"

"That's not what I meant..."

"You're actually still obsessed with Huo Qinghuai. And if she's not your biological sister, how could you possibly care about her?"

“…”

Chi Zhan now really says more mistakes than words.

He never intended to get involved in Huo Qinghuai's affairs.

Who would have thought that Ji Jin would be Jiang Lai's biological sister.

He will marry Jiang Lai again.

"We promised to be honest with each other."

Chi Zhan sighed, "To be honest with you, Huo Qinghuai will never give up Ji Jin. I can intervene and prevent them from meeting, but I can't watch over them all the time."

"Huo Qinghuai is a man of power, a man of great power. Even if I can put him in a mental hospital, he will find a way to get out."

"You can sue him for committing a crime, but even if he goes to jail, he won't be there forever. When he gets out, he'll still haunt Ji Jin."

"Can you wait for him to commit a crime and send him to jail every time?"

"The Huo family wouldn't mind having such a stain on him."

"Sending him to a mental hospital or jail is out of the question."

The Huo family is a more prestigious family than any other family in the world, and their ancestors have even made great contributions.

If such families confront each other, it will only be a lose-lose situation.

Chi Zhan is still a bit of a snob at heart.

Now that I have a wife and children, I don’t want to be so decisive in doing things.

"What Huo Qinghuai did was wrong. I hope he won't really hurt Ji Jin."

Jiang Lai interrupted coldly, "Does it count as real harm only if my sister dies or gets hurt?"

"Do you think it's too late then?"

“…”

Chi Zhan noticed that she was a little angry and wanted to change the subject.

"You eat first. After you finish, I'll go to Ningcheng to meet Huo Qinghuai's mother."

Jiang Lai said: "I will go there myself."

“…”

*

When Ji Jin finished filming, he no longer saw Huo Qinghuai.

She had seen Chi Yi, and her sister must have informed her.

But she didn't expect to see Huo Qinghuai in her room when she returned to the hotel.

The room she booked was a double room, for her to share with Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao didn't come back with her because he had the opportunity to see Ji Jiamu more closely.

The crew over there had worked with Jiang Yunshu before, so they weren't afraid of anything going wrong.

She came back alone to select some photos and so on.

"Get out of my room."

This is not Ningcheng.

Even if Huo Qinghuai has some ability, he can't cover the sky with one hand.

"I'll give you two seconds. If you don't get out, I'll call the police."

She can't be the one to give in and run away every time.

They were already divorced, and she had the right to ask him to leave if he broke into her room without her consent.

If he insisted on staying here, she would let the police handle it.

Foreign police will never give face to the Huo family.

Huo Qinghuai left.

No words were spoken, and he didn't even touch her.

She didn't even know why he showed up in such a grand manner.

She didn't want to think about it too deeply.

Turn on your computer and start working.

Chen Xiao came back in the middle of the night, reeking of alcohol.

It was Valan who took her to her room.

"Sorry, Mr. Ji, it was a lively night, and Assistant Chen also had two drinks."

He emphasized, "I just had two drinks to liven things up. I didn't force her to drink, nor did she vomit."

Ji Jin took Chen Xiao over and thanked Arang.

Arjan quickly said, "No, no, this is what I should do. Assistant Chen is going out with us, so we must ensure her safety."

"You feel rested."

Ji Jin nodded, thanked him again, and closed the door.

She asked Chen Xiao, "Can I wash myself?"

"Sure." Chen Xiao walked into the bathroom by himself, "Teacher Ji, I'm not drunk."

"Be awake."

Ji Jin said: "Girls should protect themselves outside. Don't drink this wine if you can."

"I'm just happy to see my idol today. I actually rarely drink."

"understand."

After Ji Jin finished his work and washed up, he lay down in bed and looked at his phone.

Only then did I realize that there was news coming in.

【See you tomorrow】

“…”

Ji Jin had a feeling that the unfamiliar number belonged to Huo Qinghuai.

Others are not so boring.

All the work connections are now through Chen Xiao’s contact information.

She wasn't so narcissistic as to think that someone she met today and fell in love with her at first sight would send her such an ambiguous text message.

Even if all his contact information is blocked, he will still find a way to contact her.

But she still blocked him directly.

Huo Qinghuai didn't receive a reply, but it didn't matter.

Connie was recording and was quite excited to see him smile.

"I've seen many cases of people trapped by emotions, but this is the first time I've encountered someone like Mr. Huo."

"I was actually so deeply influenced by Madam Huo."

"Because she can control her emotions so freely, it's really astonishing."

Chi Yi was listening nearby, sneering in his heart.

It’s true that Huo Qinghuai has a heart disease, and it’s also true that he has never received proper treatment.

After following this for a few days, he finally confirmed one thing.

Huo Qinghuai's illness may not be as serious as it looks.

I'm afraid it's just a means to keep Ji Jin.

He reported to Chi Zhan truthfully and told him his guess.

When Chi Zhan received the news, he landed in Ningcheng.

It was dinner time, and he asked Jiang Lai what she wanted to eat.

Jiang Lai only said that he was going to the Huo family.

Coincidentally, Huo Xinran went to the old house the next day and had dinner with Huo Qinghuai's mother.

The housekeeper brought Jiang Lai and Chi Zhan in. She immediately went to greet them, helped Jiang Lai sit down, and asked the aunt to serve the dishes.

"Your belly is still small."

"Eat more. Don't think about staying in shape at this time."

Jiang Lai smiled slightly. She had no conflicts with Huo Xinran.

There was no need to be unhappy with Huo Qinghuai and make Huo Xinran unhappy.

"You can't be overnourished either." Mother Huo spoke, looking at Jiang Lai with gentle eyes filled with the kindness of an elder.

"It will be difficult to give birth."

Huo Xinran didn't understand because she had never been pregnant, but she wasn't interested either.

If she wants a child, there will always be a way.

No need to chat too much, gain experience or anything like that.

Another thing is that she can see that Jiang Lai is in a bad mood.

I guess she came to Ningcheng while pregnant and visited the Huo family at dinner time. She is not here for tourism.

"Is it about my brother and Guoguo?"

Jiang Lai already knew Ji Jin's nickname, but she was used to calling him Xiaojin.

"I think a big family like the Huo family, where everyone is a genius, would know what happened a few days ago."

Neither Huo nor her mother showed any surprise at Jiang Lai's directness.

They already knew that she was Ji Jin's biological sister.

But we haven't found out who their mother is yet.

In this case, as Ji Jin's sister, she has the right to come to them and ask for an explanation.
