Chapter 120 What Proof Do You Have?
The halo of the crystal chandelier flows on Ji Lin's cold white knuckles
Seeing Ji Linshen press the hang-up button and put the phone back on the table, the four of them tacitly looked in different directions.
"Brother, you continue." This title has been repeatedly polished in my heart, and now it has become as natural and mellow as aged wine.
The dark grey suit trousers were wrinkled into fine folds, and Lu Yannan's thumb unconsciously stroked the seams of the trousers.
It was so embarrassing. He was the one being addressed, so why would he feel so embarrassed?
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Boss Ji, about the status..."
"Regarding status and opportunities, what we say doesn't count." Lu Chixu interrupted the conversation. The action of unlocking his phone brought out a series of crisp prompt sounds. When he pressed the dial button, he deliberately placed the phone flat on the table and turned on the speaker.
The mechanical tone waiting to be connected echoed in the silent private room for the fifth time, and finally a nasal voice scolded: "Second brother, it's very rude to call in the middle of the night~"
Lu Chixu was so angry that she snorted. Why didn’t she say that it was impolite when she called Ji Linshen just now?
I just called back a few minutes later and it was considered rude.
His sister is too hypocritical.
Hearing Lu Shiman's voice, Ji Linshen's facial features softened a little, a smile spread in his eyes, and his left hand fingers stroked the hair tie on his wrist.
It was the one she tied in her hair on the night she went on a business trip to Beijing.
Lu Qiyun picked up the teapot and poured tea, the rising steam blurred his inquiring vision.
He noticed that when Lu Shiman's sweet ending sounded in the air, a smile appeared in Ji Linshen's eyes.
"Lu Shiman, are you going to get married?" Lu Chixu spoke again, his eyes falling on Ji Linshen.
Lu Chixu's words made Ji Linshen inexplicably nervous. He straightened his back and sat upright, waiting for Lu Shiman's response.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long while.
No one spoke, and no one urged.
After a long time, Lu Shiman's cautious and timid voice was heard.
"Second brother, are you going to sell me out?"
An emotion flashed across Ji Lin's deep eyes, but he felt inexplicably relieved.
"Not really, second brother. I just wanted to give you my cold a while ago. I complained to Qin Jiaojiao about you a few days ago. Your interview about winning the championship last year was so pretentious."
"You're not going to sell me out, are you? I don't want to marry an old man, second brother~"
"Lu Shiman, what else?" Lu Chixu seemed to have forgotten the purpose of this call.
"Well... I just talked to my third brother about how your hair looked like a traitorous gigolo after getting a haircut a few days ago, and when I was doing an experiment with my fourth brother, we discussed your nickname 'Grumpy Fire Child'. That's all."
"Second brother, you really don't have to sell me out. Big brother won't agree!" Lu Shiman blurted out everything in one go.
Lu Jianheng cleared his throat, not daring to look at his second brother's eyes that looked like he wanted to eat someone.
Lu Chixu glanced at Lu Qiyun who was stirring beef soup with a silver spoon across from him. The piece of beef he scooped up was trembling and dripping with amber soup.
"Lu Shiman!" Three words covered with ice chips hit the microphone.
"Ah~ Second brother." The drawn-out ending voice, with a sobbing tone, lingered in the private room. "Not really, really. The most I'll do is complain to my eldest brother about you cursing at him behind his back."
"I really didn't do anything. Second brother, don't sell me out. I don't want to be an old man's wife." Lu Shiman wailed on the phone, having already imagined a lot of novel plots in her mind.
She thought of the title...
[The vicious second brother cruelly harmed the beautiful little sister.]
【A few things about the bully's second brother.】
Ji Linshen suddenly raised his hand to cover the corner of his lips, and a few muffled laughs slipped out from between his fingers.
Lu Yannan put down the spoon, and a smile rippled across the corners of his tightly pursed lips.
"Sell you, I want to beat you up now, wait for Lu Shiman, I will catch you in a while."
"Pa" Lu Shiman hung up the phone without any hesitation, and then very skillfully added him to the blacklist.
The busy tone echoed in the private room.
Lu Chixu's chest heaved violently, and the depressed energy swirled in his chest, unable to go up or down.
Lu Jianheng took a sip of soup and was frightened by his second brother's eyes, choking and starting to cough uncontrollably.
This coughing sound gave Lu Chixu an excuse to lash out.
"Cough, cough, cough. If you're sick, go take medicine. It's disgraceful to cough like this."
"And you, Lu Qiyun, you just tinker with those experiments all day long and don't care about anything at home."
His eyes fell on Lu Yannan, but Lu Chixu skipped over him directly. He didn't dare to scold his elder brother.
Ji Linshen suddenly leaned forward and turned the glass turntable, and the waterfall of light from the crystal chandelier flowed over the collar of his unbuttoned shirt.
The mellow aroma of the tangerine peel and old duck soup just overwhelmed the smell of gunpowder: "Second brother, calm down."
"Who is your second brother?"
"We'll be a family sooner or later." Ji Linshen said with a smile. Thinking of what Lu Shiman had just said, the image of her rolling on the bed appeared in his mind.
It’s really cute, his Lu Shiman is so cute.
I want to see her, I want to see her so much now.
Lu Jianheng took a sip of tea to suppress his cough, then glanced at Ji Linshen: "You heard it, Lu Shiman doesn't want to get married."
"I can wait. Today, I just want a legitimate opportunity." Ji Linshen turned his watch. Although it was a request, his attitude was not humble.
"I'm serious, I like her."
Lu Yannan racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Ji Linshen liked Lu Shiman?
"Proof?" Lu Chixu suddenly knocked the bone dish with a silver spoon, shaking the oil in the soup bowl into a broken heart shape. "What proof do you have?"
Ji Linshen pulled out a black card from his inner pocket and pressed it on the turntable. The dark pattern on the card and the gold thread on the tablecloth were twisted into a thorn totem.
When the turntable stopped, the seals of twelve multinational corporations were facing the red liquid in Lu Yannan's glass. "Tomorrow at ten o'clock, my legal team will visit Lu's with the equity transfer agreement."
"All my shares, real estate, and overseas trust funds." Ji Lin said, emphasizing each word: "Transfer them all to her."
Lu Yannan's heart trembled. Without confirming anything, he wanted to transfer all his property to Lu Shiman?
The four of them looked at Ji Linshen, somewhat confused about his purpose.
As if knowing their concerns, Ji Linshen spoke again: "This is my sincerity and my promise to her."
"I, Ji Linshen, am willing to give up everything I have in exchange for Lu Shiman."
All the stars with his name on them should fall into her eyes.
The air stagnated into a gelatinous mass.
"Boss Ji, you're joking." Lu Yannan's Adam's apple rolled, and his palms suddenly tightened: "Now we are notarizing the pre-marital property..."
"It's not a prenuptial agreement." Ji Linshen stood up suddenly, the hem of his suit swept across the gilded chair back, and the dark jacquard vest outlined his sharp waistline.
"It's a gift, a free gift that takes effect immediately." The crystal chandelier divided his facial features into light and shadows of varying brightness.
He wanted to use everything that the name Ji Linshen carried, and exchange the three words Lu Shiman for engraving his life.
