C1131 Familiar Place
On New Year's Eve, Ji Yuqi had just woken up when she received a call from Jiang Tianhao. His voice was gentle and gentle. "Lazy cat, are you awake? Happy New Year. " During the holidays, Jiang Tianhao would call her every day to say some words that attracted people's imagination. If it was Ji Yuqi who was not deeply involved in the world, he would have taken away her heart long ago.
However, the current Ji Yuqi was almost struck to death by his "little lazy cat. " She shivered and said in a lovely voice, "Senior, Happy New Year. "
Jiang Tianhao said a few more words. Ji Yuqi was perfunctory and then found an excuse to hang up the phone. She threw the phone to the bed in disgust.
After breakfast, she dragged Ji Yunhan and bought many gifts to Zhao Yao's house. The nanny was on vacation and the villa was deserted. Yuqi invited him to the Ji family for the New Year but he refused. Yuqi could not convince him so she had to personally make two kinds of dumplings and put them in the fridge. She told him to cook them at night.
Ji Yunhan happily pasted the couplets on the door and the big red words Blessing on the window. He then swept the snow in the yard into a pile and made a snowman.
Zhao Yao stood by the window and watched the siblings as they busied themselves. His heart was indescribably warm. This residence had never been so lively before.
The Ji family had a lively New Year's Eve. At midnight, the bell of the New Year rang. The fireworks in the sky were shining brightly, blooming in the night sky.
Ji Yuqi leaned against the railing and looked at the lights in the distance. She played with her phone in her hand, hesitating if she should contact Shen Zhe. They had not contacted each other during this period of time, but. . . She had been paying attention to the news about him and knew that he had returned to the Shen Group. Ren Shen Group's Vice-President, the current CEO, was the Shen family's Second Young Master Shen Yu. From their positions, it could be seen that the chairman, Shen Jianhao, preferred his second son, Shen Yu.
Although the position of Vice President seemed bright and bright, it didn't have any real power. He was under Shen Yu's control all the time. Moreover, when Shen Zhe was overseas, Shen Yu had already grasped the real power of Shen Corporation. It could be said that the entire Shen Corporation was under his control. Shen Zhe was such a proud person. He would surely have a hard time looking at Shen Yu's face every day.
Ji Yuqi sighed. They were both her sons, but why was Shen Jianhao so biased?
"Di di, the phone rang.
Ji Yuqi quickly opened the text message. There was a moment of disappointment, but she quickly became happy again. It was a text message from Lin Yuxi, wishing her a happy New Year. She replied, wishing her a happy New Year.
Her phone rang again. It was a familiar music.
Ji Yuqi looked at the caller ID and her heart inexplicably sped up. She could not help but bend her lips and turn on the phone.
"What are you doing?" The deep and magnetic voice was like red wine that had been stored in a cellar for many years. It was fragrant and intoxicating.
His mood became clear without any warning. The smile on her lips deepened, and her tone carried a coquettish tone that even she herself did not notice. "I'm answering your call. "
Shen Zhe laughed in a low voice. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the bright fireworks in the sky. He could not help but think of the first time he saw her. In the small forest, her eyes were so bright that it was scary, but also shockingly beautiful, like fireworks.
"Yuqi. . . "
This was the first time he called her by her name. The magnetic voice made her heart soften. It was the first time she felt that her name was actually called by someone so nice.
She pursed her lips and smiled. "Hmm?"
"Yuqi. . . "
He called out again. She thought that he had something important to say. She held her breath and her voice became gentle. "What's wrong?!"
"Do you know how to make crystal shrimp dumplings?"
Ji Yuqi:. . . "
"Yuqi?"
Ji Yuqi was furious. Such a good atmosphere, could he not say something romantic? How did he know to eat? This foodie!
She was suddenly shocked. Wait, why did she expect him to say something romantic? Could it be that she. . . No, no, she just felt guilty and wanted to make it up to him. If she loved him, she would have loved him in her previous life. Would she still need to wait until this lifetime? Moreover, she wanted revenge. Her life was already dark. He would not like to be cruel and merciless to himself.
Ji Yuqi's heart could not help but feel stifled and panicked. All of her joy had vanished into thin air.
"Yuqi, are you listening?"
She softly hummed and perked up. She said, "Didn't we have a reunion meal? So soon, you are hungry again?"
"No reunion dinner. I'm at Golden Bay. "2
His voice was very calm, but Ji Yuqi could hear the taste of loneliness. She could not help but feel her heart ache. Golden Bay. She knew that place. That was Shen Zhe's villa. He had been thrown there by Shen Jianhao when he was 16 years old. She thought. . . No matter how much Shen Jianhao disliked Shen Zhe, he would always let him return to the Shen family for the New Year. She didn't expect him to be so heartless.
She gripped her phone tightly and had an impulse in her heart, "Wait for me. I'll go to your place. " She paused, recalling that she wasn't that familiar with him yet, but since she had already said it, she could only laugh dryly, "I was just joking. . . "
"Go outside the balcony and see if there's a black car downstairs. " Shen Zhe did not seem to hear her last sentence and continued to instruct her.
Ji Yuqi was standing outside the balcony and looked down obediently. There was indeed a black car parked outside the yard. She blinked curiously and said, "Yes, how did you know?"
He laughed softly. "I asked Ah Ze to pick you up. Didn't you want to come to my house?"
Ji Yuqi was speechless. After holding it in for a while, she said in a muffled voice, "So you had planned this long ago. If I didn't take the initiative to bring it up to your place, what would you do?"
"Let Ah Ze come back again. " He had an indifferent tone.
Ji Yuqi was inexplicably angry. "Are you stupid? Don't you know how to invite him? To let a girl take the initiative, do you have the face?" He seriously thought about it, "So it can be like this. I'll remember it. "
" Just you wait! " Ji Yuqi gritted her teeth and hung up the phone. Without saying anything else, she decided to make a full plate of dumplings to fill him to death!
Ji Yuqi knew Ah Ze. He was both Shen Zhe's bodyguard and Shen Zhe's friend. He liked to wear windbreakers. Black and white windbreakers had a special charm when worn by him. He had a tall and straight figure, and coupled with his windbreaker, he looked like a killer from the Matrix.
Ah Ze didn't speak much. Seeing Ji Yuqi walking towards the car, he didn't say anything. He opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation.
It was the New Year and the streets were very deserted. They walked all the way without any obstructions. In less than an hour, the car arrived at their destination.
This was a villa close to the bay. The cold sea breeze brought with it a fishy smell. Ji Yuqi, under Ah Ze's lead, walked step by step into this familiar place.
The room was very warm, and Ji Yuqi felt as if she had returned to her own home. She casually took off her coat and hung it on the clothes rack. The man who had summoned her in the middle of the night. He wore grey trousers and a white shirt. He untied two buttons on his collar, revealing a small piece of fair skin. Holding a wine glass in his hand, he lazily sat at the bar counter. She looked at her from afar. "Come here. Drink with me. "
