"Do you know how worried I was about you when you didn't reply to my message all day?"
A lion's roar came from the other end of the video, and the owner of the voice directly shot the video in the face.
Jiang Jingyu put her phone aside early and covered her ears with her hands.
She knew this would be the scene once the video was connected.
Jiang Jingyu was about to speak when an old man's voice came from the other end of the video.
"Hey little girl, can you please keep your voice down? You're giving me a heart attack!"
"Sorry, sorry, sir, please continue sleeping!"
The woman quickly bent down to apologize, then quickly fled the scene.
"Puff~"
Seeing the woman's frustrated look, Jiang Jingyu couldn't help but laugh.
"Laugh! You're still laughing! Do you know that I flew five hours all the way back from South City just because you didn't reply?"
The woman on the other side of the video glared at the screen. Although she was gritting her teeth while speaking, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Jingyu was safe and sound.
These days she was attending a closed meeting in Nanshi, and in order to ensure the strictness of the meeting, she lost contact with the outside world.
When the meeting ended, she was told the sad news that Aunt Jiang had passed away. She hurriedly called Jiang Jingyu but no one answered the phone, and no one replied to her message.
Fearing that something might happen to Jiang Jingyu, she flew to Beijing without even going back to the hotel.
Jiang Jingyu knew that he had not replied to the message in time and made her worried, so he quickly made a begging gesture towards the screen.
"Baby Yueyue, I was wrong. I should have replied to your message right away. I promise there won't be a next time!"
Thanks to Jiang Yixin, Jiang Jingyu has a very bad reputation in the entertainment industry. People in the entertainment industry avoid her, and she doesn't have a single friend in the entertainment industry with whom she can chat.
Fortunately, God favors her and she has a close friend who is always with her.
Fearing that she would be isolated in the entertainment industry, her best friend even gave up the family property waiting for her to inherit and came to the entertainment industry to be her assistant.
Jiang Jingyu always felt that she must have done a lot of good things in her previous life to have such a close friend in this life.
"Hmph, considering your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I forgive you."
Chu Yue snorted proudly and picked up the loose hair on her forehead with her fingers.
"Where are you now? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Chu Yue looked at the road conditions around her and said mercilessly: "You come to pick me up? Come on, with your driving skills!"
Jiang Jingyu: “…”
"I've already called my brother and asked him to pick me up later. But where are you now? I'll come find you later."
Chu Yue had already learned from Weibo that Jiang Kun had held a press conference. Based on her understanding of Jiang Jingyu, she knew that Jiang Jingyu would definitely not stay in the Jiang family after this incident.
"No, I'm at Mr. Ji's house now. It's not very convenient. Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Mr. Ji...?"
Chu Yue widened her eyes and glared at Jiang Jingyu on the other side of the screen with a look of disappointment.
"No way, you actually went to Ji Mohan's house? How many times have I told you that he's not the one for you? Why are you still rushing to be someone's bootlicker?!"
Chu Yue is an expert at identifying scumbags and bitches. She could tell at a glance that Ji Mohan was not a good person. She advised Jiang Jingyu to stay away from him countless times, but Jiang Jingyu just wouldn't listen.
Now when she heard Mr. Ji, Chu Yue subconsciously thought that Jiang Jingyu was talking about Ji Mohan. She wanted to pull Jiang Jingyu out of the screen and give her love-brain a good beating!
"It's not Ji Mohan, it's his adoptive father, Mr. Ji."
Seeing Chu Yue's misunderstanding, Jiang Jingyu explained.
"Mr. Ji?"
Chu Yue's eyes widened, then she quickly shook her head: "Forget it, forget it, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. Give me a call when you come out!"
Jiang Jingyu didn't expose her and nodded: "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow when I go to Qixing to resign."
"Okay, then call me tomorrow. Anyway, I think I saw my brother."
When Jiang Jingyu hung up the phone and returned to the living room, Ji Yanli had already finished his meal.
"I still have work to do. If you don't want to eat alone, let Aunt Liu accompany you."
Ji Yanli rarely explained.
Jiang Jingyu nodded obediently and sat back at the dining table.
She hadn't eaten all day. Maybe it was because it was the first time she had eaten the meal cooked by Liu Ma, but Jiang Jingyu had an especially good appetite tonight. She usually only ate half a bowl of rice, but today she ate a whole bowl.
This made Liu Ma very happy.
I feel a sense of accomplishment when my cooking skills are recognized by others.
Aunt Liu walked to the dining table and cleared away the dishes for the two of them. "Miss Jiang wasn't here just now, but the master drank two full bowls of soup. It seems he really likes the soup Miss Jiang made!"
Jiang Jingyu helped push the stool under the table and said softly, "I'll make a list of the ingredients needed for the soup and send it to Aunt Liu. In the future, Aunt Liu can also follow the steps on the list to make soup for Mr. Ji."
"Hey! Okay, okay!"
After adding Liu Ma on WeChat, Jiang Jingyu went back to her room.
The door of the study was half-open, and through the crack one could see Ji Yanli sitting at the desk looking at the computer.
Jiang Jingyu didn't disturb him and went straight back to her room.
In the early morning, Ji Yanli turned off the computer after reading the last document. He leaned back in his office chair, pinched his brows, and was about to go back to the bedroom to rest when he heard a noise from Jiang Jingyu's room.
After hearing this, Ji Yanli suddenly stood up and walked to the door of Jiang Jingyu's bedroom.
"No, don't leave me!"
The moment I got close to the room, the voices from inside could be heard clearly.
QQ——
Ji Yanli knocked on the door. After hearing the noise getting louder and louder, Ji Yanli pulled the door handle. When he found that the door was not locked, he didn't care about anything else and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Don't leave me, Mom, please don't abandon me!"
A voice mixed with fear and pleading reached Ji Yanli's ears. He frowned and walked to the bed in the dim light.
Jiang Jingyu curled up helplessly, her pillow soaked with her tears.
Ji Yanli bent down and wiped her tears.
Jiang Jingyu grabbed him and opened his eyes drowsily. The moment he met her gaze, Ji Yanli's body froze in place, and he remained bent over.
"Don't leave me, okay?"
Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked at him pitifully and helplessly.
Ji Yanli was silent for a moment, then opened his thin lips slightly.
"good."
After hearing the satisfactory answer, Jiang Jingyu grabbed his hand and closed her eyes.
He heard the girl's steady breathing in front of him, and after confirming that Jiang Jingyu was asleep, Ji Yanli let out a sigh.
He had felt as insecure as she had when his father died, except that he had his mother by his side.
Ji Yanli imitated what Old Lady Ji had done before and gently comforted Jiang Jingyu. He waited until Jiang Jingyu's frown gradually relaxed and her curled up body lay flat before leaving.
