Chapter 84: Chapter 84: It’s Over! Drunken Accident
Xining, we et again.
Song Henian sat in his wheelchair, looking at her with a gentle gaze.
After returning to Jingzhou, he had set aside two hours every week to receive treatnt in Lu Xining’s temporary laboratory, spending the rest of his ti at ho in the rehabilitation room, constantly following the rehab plan she had given him and training the function of his legs.
Over the course of a sumr vacation, the results had been very good.
Lu Xining was mostly gentle with patients.
She nodded in response, “What a coincidence.”
...
Ji Muye’s perfectly shaped thin lips were pressed tightly together, and he silently observed the man in the wheelchair.
The latter smiled at him, “President Ji, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”
The last ti they had t was by the pond in the Lu Family Garden, indeed a long ti had passed.
Ji Muye gave a nod, a form of acknowledgnt.
Standing alongside Lu Xining, who was dressed in a black velvet long gown, the man resembled an emperor on high, looking down with a lofty gaze upon Jiang Jishu who had yet to co back to his senses.
Finally realizing he was still on his knees, Jishu glanced imploringly at Lu Xining but received none of the response he desired, rubbing his knees, he used the wall to help himself stand.
The three handso n and one beautiful woman standing together, without saying a word, resembled an aesthetically pleasing painting.
At that mont, Gong Yunxue also arrived.
Lu Xining greeted her and then directly followed her to the reserved private room.
Gong Yunxue couldn’t help but reveal a teasing smile as she curiously observed the three n’s gazes that followed Lu Xining, and upon entering the private room, she joked, “Our Miss Lu hasn’t lost her charm from the past!”
Faced with her friend’s teasing, Lu Xining replied calmly, “Mr. Gong is the truly impressive one. You’ve only been back for a few months and already secured the exclusive distribution rights for S family’s dostic costics market. I admire that.”
The two won shared a smile and quickly cast aside the n outside their conversation.
Song Henian also said goodbye to Ji Muye and headed towards another private room. He was here for a family al with the Song Family, but was surprised to find an elegantly dressed unknown woman inside.
Jiang Jishu was desperate to see Xue Lin.
Ever since she was taken away by soone arranged by Lu Xining, he had completely lost any news of her.
He had once secretly had soone follow Lu Xining, but his actions were quickly uncovered.
Having no other choice, Jiang Jishu created today’s accidental eting in an attempt to use his suffering to soften Lu Xining’s heart.
“Jiang Jishu, don’t co disturbing her,” Ji Muye warned.
But the hollow-hearted young man no longer feared his threats.
“And in what capacity do you say this to ?” Jishu challenged.
“I’m not a good man, but President Ji, getting caught having a candlelit dinner with another woman while married and making it to the hot search, does that make you a good man?”
“Oh, my mistake. Of course, President Ji is not rely anyone—he’s the President of the Shi’an Group, a man, a good ‘husband’ who dines with other won and his two sons.”
The sarcasm in Jishu’s words was too clear, each sentence a pointed jab, especially the last few words, emphasized heavily, dripping with mockery.
The onlookers who recognized Ji Muye’s identity all widened their eyes in disbelief.
“It’s my first ti hearing soone dare to speak to President Ji with that tone!”
“Who is this guy? He’s got so nerve!”
“I know him! He’s the boss of the Jiang Group. A while ago, his girlfriend jumped off a building because he had an affair with so internet celebrity. They say she was already pregnant with a child. It’s so sad.”
The whispered gossip around the two n felt like barbed blades piercing their hearts, twisting ruthlessly.
Jishu’s face grew even paler.
Thinking of Xue Lin lying on the rescue mat, his legs lost strength, nearly bringing him to kneel before Ji Muye.
It must be said, Ji Muye’s inherent royal deanor was overbearing and powerful, awe-inspiring without rage, his re presence was enough to make others not dare look up and willingly submit.
“No matter who I am, if you bother her again, go on and try your luck with the consequences.”
Ji Muye’s voice was very low, as if he were carelessly making conversation.
But as his gaze swept over the others sneaking peeks in their direction, everyone’s heart couldn’t help but shudder, and their scalp tingled, feeling as if his words weren’t only ant for Jiang Jishu but also as a warning to them all.
The temperature at the scene plumted.
Although it was sumr, was the air conditioning in the restaurant set too low?
The people present could only feel a chill at the back of their necks.
Those who had been furtively recording the situation on their phones to send to friends and journalists trembled as they put away their phones, silently deleting all the content.
Their inner selves wept bitterly, “Those who go against Shi’an Group will not end well!”
Ji Muye’s aura needed no elaboration; he collected his gaze leisurely and returned to the private room he had reserved for his eting with clients.
He didn’t notice a woman with long hair and a baseball cap sitting in the corner of the restaurant; she was fixatedly following his silhouette.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that this woman’s clothes were the sa design as sothing Lu Xining had worn a while ago.
Even the color and curl of the hair were very similar to hers.
This person was Liu Xixi.
Before and after returning to the country, she had been secretly studying and covertly imitating Lu Xining’s fashion and gaze.
Seeing Ji Muye again today made her desire to gain his attention grow stronger.
Perhaps it was the tussle between Lu Xining and Jiang Jishu earlier that evening, or maybe it was because her intention to set a boundary between them was too evident, but Ji Muye couldn’t help drinking a few more glasses of alcohol while dining with the clients.
By the ti Yan Dong helped him out, his vision had already begun to blur.
Since Lu Xining had previously expressed disgust at his sll of alcohol, Ji Muye hadn’t touched a drink in a long while.
During social gatherings, he had also excused himself from toasts due to “feeling unwell.”
And with his status, no one dared to truly force him to drink.
Not having drunk for a long ti, the alcohol went to his head sowhat.
Yan Dong helped him to rest at the hotel downstairs from the restaurant, where Ji Muye had a permanent reservation for an executive suite.
Just as he left the room, a woman went over and knocked on Ji Muye’s door.
With reason partially returning, Ji Muye went to the bathroom for a shower.
As soon as he ca out, he heard a knock at the door, thinking it was Yan Dong, he opened it in his bathrobe.
“Ji Muye…”
Liu Xixi deliberately imitated Lu Xining’s cold and distant voice; she wore a cap and a mask, and had just changed into the sa outfit Lu Xining had worn earlier in the day.
She slowly looked up, her imitative eye makeup making her already similar eyes appear nearly identical to Lu Xining’s under the warm yellow light of the hotel.
Liu Xixi wouldn’t have dared to so boldly knock on his door tonight if she hadn’t seen Ji Muye drunk.
Fate had handed her this opportunity, and of course, she was determined to cherish it!
Ji Muye’s deep, inky eyes, tinged with a drunken glow, lingered on the eyes in front of him for a mont.
Liu Xixi felt a secret thrill.
Suppressing her obsession and admiration, she made a special effort to mimic the way Lu Xining looked at people and the tone of her voice when speaking.
“Ji Muye, I would like to have a chat with you about the child.”
Under the lights, the man’s gaze was like that of a mythical creature, beguiling and bewitching.
Seeing him wrapped tightly even in a bathrobe, the thought of “advancing her status through pregnancy” grew stronger in Liu Xixi, and she couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the man’s Adam’s apple.
The handso man’s brow furrowed, he stepped back and said coldly, “What is it?”
Her hand finding nothing, Liu Xixi was about to continue when she caught sight of his icy gaze falling on her fingers, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Liu Xixi lowered her cap and continued, “Let’s talk inside.”
Ji Muye eyed her thoughtfully before slightly stepping aside to let her enter the room.
On the other side.
Having just returned to the Lu Family Garden, Lu Xining received a flurry of urgent updates from Haozi.
“Sister Ning, look what I’ve found?”
