Jiang Qi realized that something might be wrong tonight.
Something might have happened to Xu Lingyi.
"What happened?" Jiang Qi asked.
"There's no time to talk now. Just do as I say."
Ji Qi hung up the phone directly.
He actually didn't care about the people at the banquet, let alone take them seriously.
But he knew that Xu Lingyi cared about him, and an innocent girl should not be slandered by others, let alone be framed with false gossip.
"They'll be coming up soon, so I'll have to help you get dressed now."
"Miss Xu, do you agree?"
Ji Qi tried hard to control his inner shyness and nervousness, but on the surface he still appeared extremely serious.
Xu Lingyi could only choose the former, either to embarrass herself in front of Ji Qi or in front of everyone.
"good."
Ji Qi has handled contracts worth hundreds of billions of yuan, but he remains calm.
But at this moment, when he was about to put a dress on Xu Lingyi, his thoughts were in turmoil.
Even when he was putting the dress on Xu Lingyi, his hands were shaking and his ears and neck were red.
The last time they were drunk, they were accidentally very close to each other, but they were both wearing clothes at that time. But now Xu Lingyi was only wearing underwear. Neither of them was drunk and was very sober.
This is completely different from before.
Ji Qi was so excited that he even felt dizzy and didn't know how he put on his clothes.
He only remembered his own roaring heartbeat, and even wished that time would stop at this moment.
"I'm sorry for the offense, Miss Xu." Ji Qi spoke, his expression still looking calm on the surface.
Xu Lingyi shook her head.
Ji Qi picked her up and said, "I'll carry you away first and put you down later, okay?"
Xu Lingyi nodded hard, and her strength seemed to be recovering little by little.
Ji Qi walked steadily. When he heard footsteps, he hugged Xu Lingyi and hid in another room in the corridor.
In the dark room, there were only two people holding their breath.
Xu Lingyi was held in Ji Qi's arms, and it was so quiet that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
His heart seemed to be beating very fast.
"You can go out now."
Ji Qi took her downstairs and put her down when they reached the garden.
"I'll call Jiang Qi over." Ji Qi said.
Although Ji Qi was unwilling in her heart, Jiang Qi was her nominal husband after all.
With Jiang Qi by her side, no one else can spread rumors about her, and the plans of those who want to hurt her will fail.
"Do you know who wants to harm you?" Ji Qi asked. He already guessed who it was.
Xu Lingyi nodded: "If I say it's the eldest daughter of the Lin family... Lin Xuan, would you... believe it?"
Xu Lingyi spoke haltingly, her current condition was much better than when she first took the Chinese medicine.
Ji Qi nodded: "I believe it."
Xu Lingyi was puzzled. She opened her eyes slightly. Her already bright black pupils were now round and wide open, making her look even cuter.
"Why?" Xu Lingyi looked up at him, "Why do you believe... my words?"
”
Ji Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with an ambiguous meaning: "Because I know Miss Xu's character."
"But...we've only met twice?"
Ji Qi shook his head, a smile forming on his lips: "Even though I've only met her twice, I know that Miss Xu is pure and kind, and she would never slander anyone."
His words stunned Xu Lingyi. This was Ji Qi, the head of the Ji family.
If it were her old self, she would never have had the chance to come into contact with someone like Ji Qi.
Only after marrying Jiang Qi was she qualified to interact with Ji Qi on such a level.
But now he gave her such a good evaluation.
"Thanks."
………
Jiang Qi arrived very quickly. This place was remote and there were only three of them.
Ji Qi briefly described the incident, of course concealing the fact that he had dressed Xu Lingyi.
It only describes Lin Xuan's despicable methods.
Jiang Qi's expression changed instantly and his brows furrowed.
"Who did it?"
"Lin Xuan." Ji Qi said indifferently.
Seeing Jiang Qi now, Ji Qi realized that he could no longer regard Jiang Qi as a brother.
Xu Lingyi was hurt today, which made Ji Qi feel scared and also made him feel more resentful towards Jiang Qi.
It was he who failed to protect Xu Lingyi.
At the same time, Ji Qi also felt a sense of urgency.
He couldn't let Xu Lingyi and Jiang Qi be together, and he had to make them divorce as soon as possible.
"Thank you, brother." Jiang Qicheng said sincerely.
"Thank goodness for you this time."
If it was Xu Lingyi who said this, Jiang Qi might have to confirm it, but when Ji Qi mentioned Lin Xuan, Jiang Qi knew it must be true.
"I didn't expect Lin Xuan to resort to such shameful tactics. She's so bold and so stupid."
Jiang Qishen's fierce eyes narrowed slightly, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Why didn’t I realize she was such a vicious woman when I first met her?
Ji Qi shook his head. "It's a simple and crude method, but it's very effective. Just like now, you can't expose what she did openly, and you can't ask the bodyguards at home to come and do it directly."
Ultimately, we still have to take Xu Lingyi, the victim, into consideration.
Jiang Qi was silent. He looked at Xu Lingyi and saw that her eyes were red. He felt a little more reluctant at this moment. "I will seek justice for you for what happened today."
Before, Xu Lingyi was not his wife, so others could bully her.
But now she is Mrs. Jiang, and if Lin Xuan does these things again, it will be a slap in the face of the Jiang family.
So it was normal for him to stand up for Xu Lingyi, not because he felt pity for her.
"What are you going to do?" Ji Qi asked.
Jiang Qi frowned, and after a moment's thought, he said, "The company is not under my control. I can't target the Lin family's company. I can't do it, but the old man can. It's best to teach the Lin family a lesson and discipline their daughter so that they won't do it again."
"Your grandfather won't necessarily go after the Lin family. The Lin family is not much worse than yours. If the Jiang family goes after the Lin family, they might end up hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of their own."
"It's very likely that in the end Lin Xuan will just apologize and the matter will be over."
Jiang Qi was silent, he knew what Ji Qi said was very likely.
He clasped his hands together and said, "Grandpa is considering the overall situation, but I don't need it."
Jiang Qi looked at Ji Qi again, thinking of his problem of not being able to get too close to women.
"I'm sorry, Ji Qi. I know you're doing this for my sake, so you're putting yourself in a difficult position today and getting so close to her."
"Thank you. She and I will treat you to a meal in a few days as a thank you for your help. It's all thanks to you."
Ji Qi did not refuse. He cherished the opportunity to have dinner with Xu Lingyi, as this allowed them to spend more time together.
He began to plan to press on with the victory and, while saving Xu Lingyi, find a way to make further progress.
But he didn't want Jiang Qi to misunderstand him, "Jiang Qi, I didn't save people because of you."
