57: Apologize To You On His Behalf

Apologize To You On His Behalf

Du Jiuyuan thought for a moment and said in a flat tone, "Don't even think about it. I do hate you, but I like to see you squatting here cleaning the paint."2

Ji Yanchen was rendered speechless.

'I knew this woman is not easy to deal with. Not only is she shrewd, but she is also quite skilled. I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion she gave my brother to make him side with her.'

"Du Jiuyuan, think carefully. I am a member of the Ji family, Ji Jingchen's most beloved younger brother. Aren't you afraid that my brother will see your true colors since you are being so vicious?" Ji Yanchen did not want to clean the paint anymore.

In the past few days, there were already a few blisters growing on his hands, and his clothes were dirtied every day. There was still so much paint on the ground. It would take a long time for him to clean it all by himself.

"Please be clear that your brother and I are divorced. I even gave up on him. Besides, I didn't ask you to come here. If you hate being here so much, why don't you ask your brother to let you go?" Du Jiuyuan looked at Ji Yanchen as if she was looking at a fool.

Ji Yanchen only felt that his fate was being grasped by his throat and he was speechless. When did this woman become so eloquent?

Du Jiuyuan had achieved her objective of inspection and was about to leave. Ji Yanchen stopped her, but this time, he deliberately took a few large steps back to maintain a safe distance from Du Jiuyuan.

"Um, you really don't love my Brother any more?" Ji Yanchen asked.

"I don't have the willpower to tolerate an arrogant man like Ji Jingchen. It's better to leave him to someone else!" Du Jiuyuan replied in an indifferent tone.

When Du Jiuyuan reached the door, she saw a man standing outside. He was holding a beautiful rose in his hand with an expressionless face.

Ji Yanchen immediately went to clean up the paint. He thought to himself, 'How dare you scold my brother? Now he is going to teach you a lesson personally!'

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. No one expected that Ji Jingchen would come to hand over the beautiful rose in his hand to Du Jiuyuan. He asked with concern, "Why are you discharged so early?"

"It's just a superficial wound. It's fine." Du Jiuyuan felt a little guilty and took the flower.

Ji Yanchen was still watching the show from the side. He didn't expect his cold-hearted brother to not get angry.

"CEO Ji, you've done enough to compensate for my loss. But, based on Ji Yanchen's cleaning speed, I probably won't be able to open for business for another year or so." Du Jiuyuan is implying that she couldn't afford to have Ji Yanchen here any longer and wants him to leave as soon as possible. 

"I'm asking him to pay for his own actions. He's insensible. It's time for him to be honed," Ji Jingchen said calmly.

Although Ji Jingchen gave this reason, he truly wanted to use the opportunity of Ji Yanchen being here in order to give Du Jiuyuan the flowers personally. 

"I'm not a charity organization. Teach your family not to waste time on me." Du Jiuyuan put the flowers aside. She realized that she wasn't the only one who had changed. Ji Jingchen had changed as well.

Ji Jingchen said, "This is his own mistake. He has to bear it himself. Only then will it have real educational meaning."

The two of them weren't as hostile as Ji Yanchen had imagined. Instead, they were talking about educating him.

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm already an adult. Can the two of you not speak in such a tone in front of me?" Ji Yanchen interrupted unhappily.

"Shut up!" Ji Jingchen glared at him.

"Shut up!" Said Du Jiuyuan too, almost simultaneously.

"Clean up the paint!" Ji Jingchen added.

Ji Yanchen had no choice but to go back and clean up the paint because of Ji Jingchen's authority. Ji Jingchen looked at Du Jiuyuan, not caring that she threw down the flowers he had given her. He adjusted his tone and said, "Peter has booked a western restaurant nearby. It has a good reputation for its good food."

This was the first time Ji Jingchen had taken the initiative to invite a woman to dine with him. The meaning in his words was obvious, but it was a little reserved.

Of course, Du Jiuyuan understood what he meant, but she still pretended not to. "Then I shall not hinder you from enjoying your meal."

After saying this, Du Jiuyuan prepared to leave.

Ji Jingchen blocked her way. "Ji Yanchen has gone too far this time. He even deceived my men. I apologize to you on his behalf."

This reason was simply too hard to reject. Du Jiuyuan wanted to say no, but when she saw the man's expectant look, she couldn't help but nod her head.

Seeing this, Ji Jingchen made way and gestured for Du Jiuyuan to lead the way.
