Chapter 118 Many Female Confidantes
Chapter 118 Many Female Confidantes
"I went the wrong way just now. I meant to go this way."
Seeing her piece captured, Song Qianyi anxiously put it back in its original place and then replaced it with a rook.
Ji Jingshen merely raised an eyebrow slightly, showing no anger at her behavior. Instead, he calmly picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
After several attempts, Song Qianyi suddenly lost her temper. She had originally wanted to make Ji Jingshen angry, but he didn't take her little tricks seriously at all.
That's true, maybe they just don't care at all.
Just as Song Qianyi was about to get up, she heard Ji Jingshen's voice.
"I only met Lin Qingyue a few times when I was a child and we weren't close at all. When she came to see me yesterday, I didn't recognize her at all."
He was telling the truth.
Upon hearing his explanation, Song Qianyi was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what he meant and remembered Lin Qingyue, whom she had met at the banquet the previous night.
"They don't think so." At the banquet, the way she looked at him was almost drooling, and she seemed to want to throw herself into Ji Jingshen's arms.
Song Qianyi didn't say this aloud, but she gave him a strange look last time and continued, "Mr. Ji has quite a few female confidantes. There's Xu Jiayin outside, and now there's Lin Qingyue. It seems that being your wife is a tough job. But fortunately, we're getting a divorce soon. Mr. Ji, you'd better treat your future wife well in the future."
Song Qianyi glanced at him and said sourly, "I thought I would get an explanation from Ji Jingshen, but the man opposite me just fell silent."
However, before falling silent, he did utter a rebuttal in his own defense.
"I don't have a confidante."
Song Qianyi was so angry she laughed. She wasn't really angry before, but now her anger level reached its peak. "Go down by yourself."
After saying that, she stormed upstairs. Ji Jingshen sat on the sofa, somewhat confused as to why Song Qianyi was suddenly so angry. Wasn't she fine just now?
Moreover, everything he said was true; from beginning to end, he only ever had Song Qianyi.
The old man, who had just returned from outside, sighed helplessly when he saw him like this. He had done all he could to help, and now it was up to fate to decide the young couple's future.
Ji Jingshen sat on the sofa until evening before leaving, and no one came to disturb him during that time.
After all, it was Old Master Song who personally gave the order, so he should reflect on it carefully.
The next day, Lin Qingyue arrived at the Song family with a pile of gifts.
"Grandpa Song, I just got back last night and heard it was your birthday. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift for you. This is what I specially prepared for you today. Please see if you like it."
Lin Qingyue spoke sweetly and proactively placed the fine tea she had brought on the table, but Old Master Song only glanced at it briefly before looking away.
"These are nice items. Wang Ma, please keep them all. After all, they represent Miss Lin's kind intentions."
Upon hearing Grandpa Song's words, Aunt Wang quickly arranged for people to move the things downstairs.
However, his expression was a little strange when he saw the brand of tea. His father never drinks this kind of foreign tea, even though it is very popular in China, but he hates it.
It seems that Lin Qingyue has stepped on the old man's sore spot.
However, the girl sitting next to her had no idea what Wang Ma was thinking.
“My father was supposed to come today, but he had too much to do at the company and couldn’t make it. I hope Grandpa Song won’t hold it against him.”
Lin Qingyue winked playfully, wanting to take this opportunity to sit closer to Grandpa Song and try to build a better relationship, but she was stopped by Grandpa Song as soon as she made a move.
He waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's alright. After all, young people should be working hard. Even though you have such a big daughter, you still have plenty of energy compared to this old man. It's okay to be busy with company matters."
Lin Qingyue's smile froze for a moment. Most prominent figures in the capital could guess what was going on with the Lin family, let alone a family like the Song family.
Old Master Song's words just now were a complete pretense of ignorance, saying that her father was full of energy and in the prime of his life, even though her father was already over fifty years old.
"Grandpa Song is joking. I'll have my father come to apologize in person another day."
After speaking, he looked around and his tone was somewhat surprised.
“I saw Jing Shen at the banquet yesterday and only then did I realize that he had married Miss Song. I was so excited to see Jing Shen yesterday that I neglected Miss Song’s feelings. I don’t know where she is now, and I would like to apologize to her in person.”
"Wang Ma, go upstairs and call Qianyi down."
Let the younger generation handle their own affairs. It wouldn't sound good if an elder bullied the younger generation.
However, upon hearing the old man's words, Lin Qingyue immediately covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Miss Song hasn't gotten up yet? It's almost lunchtime, are we going to keep everyone waiting for her?"
Wang Ma was an elder in the family and had watched Ji Jingshen grow up since he was a child. She knew perfectly well what Lin Qingyue had just said, and that this woman had no good intentions at all.
Especially her last sentence made Wang Ma roll her eyes inwardly. After hearing the old man's words, she nodded hurriedly and went upstairs.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would lose her temper and start a fight with Lin Qingyue.
"My lady, why are you still sleeping? They've already come to your doorstep."
Half asleep, Song Qianyi opened her eyes blankly when she heard Wang Ma's voice.
"Who's attacking our doorstep?"
Could it be that Ji Jingshen's mistress has come knocking on his door?
Song Qianyi's mind wasn't fully clear yet, and she was about to close her eyes and go back to sleep when she was pulled out of bed by a tremendous force.
"Lin Qingyue! She came to pick up the old man early this morning with lots of bags and packages, saying she was coming to apologize, but when I listened downstairs, she didn't say a single nice thing, and she kept saying sarcastic things."
Thinking of Lin Qingyue's affected manner, Wang Ma couldn't hide the disgust on her face.
Song Qianyi was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to fully wake up after sitting on the bed. After hearing what Wang Ma said, she smiled helplessly.
"Since she came to apologize, let her apologize properly. As for what she said, she has a mouth, I can't control her, let her say whatever she wants."
As she spoke, Song Qianyi lay back down straight and silently pulled the blanket next to her over herself.
"Wang Ma, please close the door for me when you go out. I'm going to sleep a little longer."
I got so engrossed in watching the show last night, mainly because the cute young man in it was so adorable.
