Chapter 2057: Won’t feel heartache over these things
The sincerity in his eyes touched her heart. She looked at him and, with a tinge of sadness in her voice, said,”Mr. Qu, let’s skip this topic for now. I think Ziming has already told us why you’re here. Since it’s so clear, let’s just be Frank.”
“Great, CEO Ji. You have a good eye.”
Qu xiujie admired him from the bottom of his heart. Thinking of this, he finally understood why Ji Ziming could still calmly plan his next step even after knowing so much.
This was because he already knew the truth, so all he had to do was wait for time or someone else.
For example, qu xiujie.
“I don’t have a good eye, I’m just stating the facts, I hope Mr qu won’t blame me.”
Ji Ziming leaned on the sofa, the cold air he exuded slightly startling qu xiujie. After thinking for a while, he smiled.”How can that be? since you already know about it, I’ll just be Frank. I want a safe place to stay and need your team of bodyguards to protect me.”
“What’s the reason?”
Ji Ziming’s lips curled into a smile as his eyes glowed with a cold light. He exuded the aura of a King.
“The reason is that I can give you the information I collected from the qu family in exchange. I have first-hand information on this, and no one knows it better than me. In the qu family, if I, qu xiujie, want something, how could old master qu not give it to me?”
Qu xiujie’s face was filled with surprise. Whether or not he could gain Ji Ziming’s trust today would depend on this smoke-less battle.
“Are you betraying the qu family?”
The corners of his lips curled up as his eyes gleamed with a smile. He was not angry, but his cold expression made his handsome features seem a little heavy.
......
“No, to be precise, I’m betraying her. She’s been arrogant in the qu family for so many years, it’s time to pull out this venomous Fang. ”
When qu xiujie spoke of old Madam qu, his expression was full of hatred, and the sound of his teeth grinding could be clearly heard by the two. To hate someone so much, it was likely that this hatred could not be accumulated in a short time.
“I’ve heard that old lady qu and old master qu are very loving. I’m afraid that old master qu and old lady qu will find out about your betrayal before you even step out of the Ji family’s doors. Wouldn’t I be innocent then?”
The shrewdness in the man’s eyes was like a mirror that could reflect one’s heart, and the way he looked at the man made the latter feel guilty.
“CEO Ji, your company or your mansion can’t possibly be so unreliable, right? everyone in the capital looks up to you, so why won’t you take me in when I’m just here to seek protection from you?”
The smile in qu xiujie’s eyes did not fool Ji Ziming and, instead, made him even more suspicious.
“But, you’re also a member of the qu family. Qu Jingwan’s surname is qu, and my surname is Ji.”
She understood what he meant, so how could qu xiujie not? his eyes were filled with calmness and even fearlessness.
“Mr. Ji, don’t forget that I’m here to rely on you. If you can’t even do such a small thing, how are you going to continue working in the capital?”
Qu xiujie did not care, but he had underestimated the man’s lethality.
“I, Ji Ziming, have never used the word ‘muddle’. Besides, if I don’t get the appropriate reward for what I’m doing, why would I use my bodyguard team for your matter?”
Ji Ziming knew that qu xiujie would definitely leave him with the last piece of information, so what he needed to do now was to force it out of him.
A house and a few bodyguards were nothing.
Ji Ziming would never feel heartache over such things.
All he cared about was her and the mastermind behind her.
“Ji Ziming, you’re really good!”
Qu xiujie was furious, but he could do nothing about it. He was currently alone in his friend’s territory, seeking his protection, yet he got nothing in return. Instead, he was ridiculed and laughed at by the man.
It was as if he had already predicted all of this.
Qu xiujie did not believe him and was not willing to admit defeat. With a vicious expression, he looked at Ji Ziming with sharp eyes and spoke in a mocking tone.”CEO Ji, you are the king of the capital. Can’t a person with the surname qu come to you?”
“As I said, I’m a businessman. When doing business, I naturally have to pay attention to returns. If you can’t give me what I want, why should i protect you? There are so many people in the world who need to be protected. What reason do you have to be different from them?”
Ji Ziming leaned on the sofa, his expression calm and collected.
Qu xiujie could not hold it in any longer. His final trump card was the condition he had negotiated with the old lady. If he revealed it to Ji Ziming now, he would be forced into a dead end if the latter did not protect him as promised.
“Alright, Mr. Ji. I’ll tell you what makes me different from others.”
Qu xiujie plopped down on the sofa beside him and looked at the man before him. This was the moment of success and failure.
However, in the qu residence, old Madam qu was comforting old master Qu’s shoulders. Her movements were gentle and her strength was just right. Old master qu praised her repeatedly,”it’s been so many years, but you still know my body best.”
“Old master, we’ve been married for so many years. How can I not understand you?”
The old lady’s voice was shy like a young girl in her Prime, but her eyes followed the newspaper in the old man’s hand. There was a news article on the front page about the acquisition of Red Star Real Estate.
News of Red Star’s acquisition had already spread in the real estate industry. It was said that Ji Ziming was the one who cut through waves wherever he went and that he was already regarded as a God in the industry. What was even more mysterious was the woman behind him.
Just as the old man was about to flip through the newspaper to look at PEI GE’s information, the old lady snatched it away.”Old master, don’t read it. It’s not good for your eyes.”
“Aiya, I’ll see how people in the real estate industry praise Ji Ziming as a God again. They even said that the woman behind him is very capable. I want to see how capable this woman is. Can she be as capable as my wife?”
Old master qu said with a smile.
