1142: I Have No Conscience

I Have No Conscience

When Ye Shengge walked out of the bedroom, she saw Ji Shiting standing in the hallway with his phone in his hand.1

He looked at her with a deep and mysterious gaze.

Ye Shengge's heart sank. She walked closer to him and asked, "Where are the two kids?"

"I've sent them to kindergarten. Go pick them up tonight, okay?" The man pushed a strand of hair behind her head.

His burning fingers made Ye Shengge's heart skip a beat.

"Um, did you see the scandal online?" she mumbled.

"Oh, are you saying my wife was slandered, and two unrelated men showed up to memorize her character while I wasn't allowed to speak?" He raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

Ye Shengge felt guilty.

She grabbed his waist and said, "Actually, I don't have to hide it, but it's not the right time…"

"Then why did you hide it in the first place?" The man asked.

"Because…" Ye Shengge bit her lips. "I'm in this industry, and I have to pay the price for being criticized, but I don't want others to criticize you…"

Ji Shiting stroked her hair and smiled, "Can I take it that you're trying to protect me?"

Ye Shengge nodded profusely.

The man said, "In that case, you should understand that I can't stand others criticizing you."

Ye Shengge was dazed. "I thought you didn't read the entertainment news…"

"How could I not know about you?" His voice became hoarse. "I also hope you can do what you like without being affected by these rumors."

"I don't care at all." Ye Shengge smiled. "Really, they can't affect me. Besides, the public opinion has turned to me, so you don't have to worry."

"Should I thank Xiao Ruilang?" His eyes dimmed.

"No need. It's my fault for being heartless. I kicked him away after using him and didn't even say thank you," Ye Shengge said solemnly.

The man finally smiled and hugged her tightly. "I'll get rid of the culprit first."

...

Two days later.

It was almost evening, and the staff in the office building walked out one after another. They either went home after work or went to the building opposite for dinner.

Jing Tong was wondering whether she should eat rice or KFC when she heard a seductive female voice, "Tong Tong!"

Jing Tong was shocked. She turned around and said, "Tang Ranran? Why are you here?"

She had known Tang Ranran for many years, but they weren't on good terms. After Jing Zhiyuan's accident, she had distanced herself from all her friends, including Tang Ranran.

"I missed you, so I came to see you." Tang Ranran smiled and walked to her. "Let's go. I've reserved a seat at Lin Ye's house. You haven't had it in a long time, have you?"

Jing Tong knew that it was useless for Tang Ranran to reject her, so she could only agree.

Ten minutes later, they sat down in a quiet room. Tang Ranran looked at her and smiled. "You finally look like a woman. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

Jing Tong said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Are you still in contact with Jiang Yu?" Tang Ranran asked with a smile.
