Chapter 121 Disappointment with Ji Jingshen
Ji Jingshen frowned slightly. "No time."
"It's okay, we can make an appointment when you have time."
Lin Qingyue glanced at the time and asked expectantly, "Can Jing Shen take me home?"
As she spoke, she glanced provocatively at Song Qianyi on the sofa. So what if she married Jing Shen now? She still couldn't hold onto a man's heart.
Sooner or later, she will make Song Qianyi give up her position as Mrs. Ji.
However, her smugness didn't last long before Ji Jingshen poured cold water on her.
"The Lin family lives very close to here, there's no need to escort you. Walking back won't take much time."
Lin Qingyue's smug smile froze, her fingers clenched tightly at her sides, and she forced a smile.
"Okay, then let's make an appointment again when you have time later."
Then he turned his attention to Song Qianyi.
"Ms. Song, it's a pleasure to meet you. I enjoy talking with you. I wonder if you would like to be my friend?"
Song Qianyi scoffed and refused without hesitation.
"I am not interested in spying on married women making friends."
Lin Qingyue's face turned pale, and she took two steps back, looking at Song Qianyi with a pitiful expression.
"I...I never thought that way. Does Miss Song have some misunderstanding about me?"
A slender woman stood alone in the middle of the living room, looking as delicate as a willow swaying in the breeze, which was heartbreaking.
However, no one present paid any attention to her. Old Master Song glanced at the farce unfolding before him, then smiled and left with his teapot and teacup. He decided to go check on his vegetable garden in the back.
He shouldn't get involved in the world of young people.
"Qianyi, don't talk nonsense."
Ji Jingshen looked at Song Qianyi with disapproval. He had never liked any other woman, nor would he be taken away by any other woman.
Now, Song Qianyi doesn't want him.
He glanced at Song Qianyi with a slightly aggrieved look, but the other party didn't look at him.
Lin Qingyue looked at Ji Jingshen expectantly, "Jingshen, I brought you a gift when I returned to China, but I was in a bit of a rush today and didn't know you were here, so I didn't bring it. I'll definitely bring it next time I come."
Ji Jingshen frowned slightly, but did not refuse.
"Miss Lin, shouldn't you prepare another gift? After all, your Jing Shen is already married, so you should give him a wedding gift."
Ji Jingshen nodded very seriously at her words.
This etiquette is very important, but what he likes to hear most is the words "wedding gift".
Lin Qingyue gave a forced smile and nodded in agreement.
"It's getting late, I'll leave first."
After everyone left, Song Qianyi got up and went back to her room. She still harbored fantasies about this man.
Too disappointed.
Watching her departing figure, Ji Jingshen looked bewildered, but still immediately followed after her.
Why are you angry again? He didn't do anything wrong.
"You're angry?"
Although he was asking her, Ji Jingshen was certain in his heart, but he just didn't understand why she was angry.
Looking at Ji Jingshen's serious questioning, Song Qianyi silently breathed a sigh of relief. Her previously somewhat agitated mood miraculously calmed down.
"No, you are overthinking."
But Ji Jingshen didn't believe her at all; he could clearly sense her perfunctory attitude.
She wanted to go back to her room to rest, but Ji Jingshen held onto her arm tightly. Knowing he wouldn't let go until he got the answer she wanted, she sighed helplessly and told him the truth:
Why did you speak up for Lin Qingyue at the dinner table?
Huh? When did he speak up for Lin Qingyue?
Seeing that he truly didn't understand, Song Qianyi felt she had been worn down and had lost all her temper. She calmly said:
"You said I was too aggressive towards Lin Qingyue and told me to shut up. Isn't that protecting her?"
Although we're already preparing for a divorce, please be a little more mindful and don't let your actions negatively impact my family.
They've already been taking advantage of her in her own home, and she's not allowed to fight back? What kind of logic is that?
But when Ji Jingshen heard her words, his brows furrowed and his eyes showed confusion.
"Lin Qingyue is a guest and an outsider. She shouldn't have lost her table manners. That would be very impolite."
Hearing his words, Song Qianyi was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger, took a step back, and looked Ji Jingshen up and down.
The question was: "Is it more important to save face for outsiders or to feel good about your own family?"
Ji Jingshen frowned, feeling that this was not a question worth discussing at all, but a complete overreaction. Ji Jingshen tried to explain it to her, but Song Qianyi was in a fit of anger and refused to listen to his explanation.
Don't bother me until you've thought it through.
After saying that, she turned and left, giving Ji Jingshen no chance to explain. Watching her quickly leave, Ji Jingshen's brows furrowed tightly, his mind filled with what Song Qianyi had just said.
What's there to think about? It's not even a big deal; it's just a matter of etiquette.
Moreover, Song Qianyi is currently managing the company, and her every move can have an impact on the company.
Wang Ma, who came up to clean, looked at Ji Jingshen and sighed helplessly.
"Sir, sometimes women need to be pampered, regardless of right or wrong."
Wang Ma kindly reminded him, hoping to help the young couple quickly restore their relationship to normal, but Ji Jingshen did not understand her meaning.
Right is right, wrong is wrong.
Seeing him like this, Wang Ma glared at him angrily, then turned and went downstairs.
She was afraid to stay any longer and couldn't help but curse.
Song Qianyi did not come out of her room until nightfall.
On the bed, Song Qianyi was slowly tidying up her cosmetics, but if you looked closely, you would find that the order in which they were placed was wrong, which clearly showed that she was absent-minded.
"Dong dong."
Upon hearing the knock, Song Qianyi paused for a moment, then got up and opened the door.
"Wang Ma? What brings you here so late?"
"Madam, please don't hold a grudge against your husband about what happened today. He's always been a blockhead since he was a child, and he has no idea what emotional intelligence is."
When this matter was brought up, Wang Ma was also very angry. Why is it that the master and mistress have such high emotional intelligence, but when it comes to the master, it seems like it's a negative number?
“Wang Ma is overthinking it. I won’t get angry over trivial people. After all, getting angry is bad for your health.”
Wang Ma sighed wearily and handed the bowl in her hand forward.
"Madam, please have some bird's nest soup first. The old man asked about you because you didn't go down for dinner tonight."
He glanced down at the bird's nest in Wang Ma's hand and took it without hesitation. He hadn't eaten anything since lunch and was indeed quite hungry.
Wang Ma watched her finish eating before leaving.
Originally, Song Qianyi wanted to say a good word for Ji Jingshen again, but she didn't want to talk about it as soon as Ji Jingshen's name was mentioned.
