The two paused, Wen Zhaoye glanced at her, and before he could speak, Li Tian said calmly:
"That's exactly what I think too."
Li Hai's frozen expression returned to a smile as he said:
"We're too old to understand the ways of young people. Why don't we head back first, Old Jiang?"
Jiang Peitian's lips curled up, and he stood up, saying:
"Perfect timing, I have some things to do at my company."
Wen Zhaoye felt irritated and, after the two left, stood up and said:
"Excuse me, I have something to take care of, otherwise I would also like to head back now."
Li Tian: "..."
Does this kid look down on me?
Damn it, they didn't leave me a single bit of noodles.
Wen Zhaoye didn't want to damage the relationship between the two families because of him, so he covered it up by saying:
"My business just moved here, and I only arrived here at noon today."
He didn't consider my schedule and insisted on bringing me here. I had a long flight and haven't slept yet. I also have a lot of things to arrange at the company. I'm so sorry.
Li Tian stood up, forcing a stiff smile, and said:
"Okay, let's make it another time."
Wen Zhaoye nodded politely, then turned and left.
Just then, Li Tian's phone rang. She answered it, and Jiang Ci's voice came from the other end:
"Sweetie, you came back yesterday, why didn't you come to play with me?"
Li Tian watched Wen Zhaoye's departing figure and said cryptically, "Because he was on a blind date."
A gossiping voice came from the other end:
How is the other side?
Knowing she couldn't ruin the friendship between Li Hai and Jiang Peitian, Li Tian could only hint at something:
"Same as you."

Wen Jiaojiao returned to the Jiang residence and saw Jiang Ci and Qi Meijing having dinner. She walked towards the stairs without stopping.
It seems this family really doesn't like me.
Suddenly, Jiang Ci spoke up:
"Sister, come and eat."
Wen Jiaojiao paused at the top of the stairs. She turned around, about to speak, when Qi Meijing said leisurely:
"If they don't eat, it means they've already eaten at home. They're spending our money, so they can eat anywhere."
Wen Jiaojiao suddenly felt exhausted and bluntly said:
"Since you're so bothered by me, why don't you just let me leave? I won't touch a single penny of your money."
She now knows that Ah Long is only using the guise of protection to monitor and guard her, so she has nowhere to escape and can only place her hopes on Qi Meijing.
Qi Meijing lifted her eyelids, looking at her with a cold gaze: "Can you spit out that house?"
Wen Jiaojiao explained, feeling annoyed:
"That house was bought with my own money. Your husband only gave me a thousand or two yuan and a watch."
If you feel you've been cheated, I'll pay you back when I make money. Can you let me leave then?
Qi Meijing scoffed lightly:
"You, a girl from the countryside, can come up with the bulk of the house payment? Who would believe that?"
"Mom, stop talking. When Dad comes home, he'll definitely not like staying here if he hears it all arguing again."
After Jiang Ci finished speaking, Jiang Peitian walked in, in a very good mood, and said:
"What's wrong now?"
Qi Meijing's expression suddenly changed, and she chuckled softly:
"I heard from people at the company that you went out to eat. I thought you wouldn't be back for a while."
Jiang Peitian sat in the main seat and casually rolled up his sleeves, saying, "Something came up later, so we couldn't make it."
Looking at the happy family, Wen Jiaojiao stepped forward and said with a straight face:
"You've come at the right time. Although I don't know what your purpose is, I plan to leave here. Don't let Ah Long follow me anymore."
Jiang Peitian picked up his chopsticks, picked up some food without looking at her, and said in a cold tone:
"My home is not a place you can come and go as you please."
Wen Jiaojiao said anxiously:
"I'm not related to you by blood, and you have a daughter too, so why bother?"
Qi Meijing and Jiang Ci said in unison:
"What? No blood relation?"
Jiang Peitian frowned slightly, lifted his eyelids to look over, and said in a tone that seemed to be a warning:
"so what?"
Wen Jiaojiao, having given up all hope, defiantly declared:
"Although I don't know what your purpose is, I know you wouldn't dare to hurt me, so if you don't let me leave, don't blame me for causing you trouble."
Jiang Peitian, his eyes narrowed, picked at the fish bones, and said in a chilling tone:
"casual."
"You said it yourself." Wen Jiaojiao said with a playful smile, then turned and went back to her room.
With a bang, the door slammed shut, and she collapsed wearily onto the bed.
"Since you're making things difficult for me, then don't blame me for taking over the entertainment industry."
Downstairs, Jiang Ci voiced her lingering doubts:
"Dad, if this sister isn't her, why did you acknowledge her as your father?"
Jiang Peitian didn't look at her and said:
"I have my reasons."
If Qi Meijing was previously unhappy with Wen Jiaojiao's attitude, she is now at peace with it.
After all, Jiang Peitian wouldn't let his assets go to someone with no blood relation.
She chuckled softly, "Yes, your father has his reasons, so don't ask so many questions."
But you, school's been in session for so long, how's your studies going? Your dad's getting old eventually, and with such a big company, you'll be very busy then."
After Qi Meijing finished speaking, she didn't notice Jiang Peitian's face suddenly turn cold.
Jiang Ci is currently a university student with plenty of free time, so she juggles studying and acting. She expressed her true feelings, saying:
"I don't want to study, I want to act."
Qi Meijing: "What future can that have?"
Jiang Peitian said casually:
"She loved acting, and after graduation, the entertainment company let her take over."
Qi Meijing said happily, "That's true. We can practice in a small company first, so that we can manage a large enterprise in the future."
Jiang Peitian frowned slightly, and impatience flashed in his eyes.
The mention of taking over the company made Jiang Ci suddenly lose her appetite. She stood up and said:
"I'm going back to my room now."
She went up to the third floor and gently knocked on Wen Jiaojiao's door: "Sister, are you asleep?"
Although Wen Jiaojiao didn't like this family, her first impression of Jiang Ci wasn't bad. She opened the door:
"What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you something." Jiang Ci stepped inside as she stepped aside and said, "What's going on between you and Dad? Did he have Ah Long spy on you?"
Wen Jiaojiao lay on the chaise lounge and said:
"I guess so. I don't know the specific reason, but you can ask your good dad."
Jiang Ci was kind-hearted from a young age, and she couldn't stand seeing girls being monitored and guarded, so she offered a suggestion:
"Or... I'll help you escape."
Wen Jiaojiao's eyes remained completely calm:
"It's no use. Your father won't let you go. Even if you escape, you can't escape Hong Kong. You'll still be found."
Jiang Ci sat opposite her and sighed, saying:
"Sigh, I know my dad's personality isn't likable, but with so many women and illegitimate daughters, why would he insist on acknowledging you?"
The problem is, even after I admitted it, my attitude towards you was bad, and it even caused my mom to have a problem with you.
Wen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up suddenly, and she thought of a way to deal with Jiang Peitian: "..."
Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for stealing your man.
