Chapter 308: Does Ji Shiting Think She’s Good-looking?
Ye Shengge had quite a bit of comforting words to say but she found herself at a loss for words at the moment.
Li Yinian becoming this thin couldn’t have been because of Xiao Cheng who had just died. Therefore, it was probably because…
She glanced at Qiao Yanze.
However, Qiao Yanze looked away, and had an indifferent look on his face.
Ye Shengge thought for a bit, stood up, picked up the only clean cup on the table. She poured some hot water in and handed the cup to Li Yinian. “Ms. Li, have some hot water.”
Li Yinian looked at her in surprise and smiled, “Thank you.”
Her facial features were stunning when she smiled.
“You’re welcome.” Ye Shengge couldn’t help softening her voice.
Ye Shengge understood why Qiao Yanze couldn’t forget her. Even she couldn’t help feeling pity for such a beauty, let alone ordinary men. However… she couldn’t help glancing at Ji Shiting.
The man had only been treating Li Yinian with respect, and he hadn’t shown any surprise at all. It was as she was just a bag of bones in his eyes no matter how beautiful she was.
Then… What about her? Did Ji Shiting think she looked good?
Ye Shengge couldn’t help pondering about such a senseless question…
Li Yinian took a sip of hot water and regained her strength. She looked at Qiao Yanze and said, “Thank you for saving me, Fourth Young Master.”
“No,” Qiao Yanze said coldly.
“I know you have some misunderstandings about me.” Li Yinian smiled, looking completely different from how pale she looked just now. “It was my fault for not breaking up with you in time, but I thought you would understand what I meant. Anyway, I apologize to you. Can we forget about our feud now?”
Qiao Yanze clenched his fists, and his dark eyes narrowed.
“Do you think… I just want an apology?” His voice became hoarse.
“What else could it be?” Li Yinian blinked. “You’re not the kind that would continuously pester.”
Qiao Yanze stared at her for a long time and smiled, “You’re right.”
There was a strange silence.
Ye Shengge couldn’t help leaning against Ji Shiting. The man looked at her and hugged her. “What’s wrong?”
“You said Xiao Ruilang will be in charge of the Xiao family from now on… He hates you to begin with. He won’t let this go easily, right?” Ye Shengge was worried.
Xiao Ruilang had been a big problem when Xiao Cheng was still around, more so now that Xiao Cheng was dead.
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow and said, “It won’t be that easy to gain a foothold.”
Qiao Yanze regained his composure and smiled, “Don’t worry, sister-in-law. Xiao Ruilang isn’t in charge of Yang City yet.”
Ye Shengge couldn’t help frowning.
After all, according to Ji Shiting, Xiao Ruilang was at times a big problem and not his match at other times.
She felt dizzy.
Ji Shiting could tell that she was suspicious, so he explained, “Everyone knows that he’s behind this accident. He has many potential enemies.”
Ye Shengge nodded.
Ji Shiting smiled and said, “So don’t worry.”
Qiao Yanze raised an eyebrow. Was he trying to fool sister-in-law again?
…
There were four of them, and it was inappropriate for anyone to sleep on a narrow bed, so they had to sit around the stove. At daybreak, a rescue ship finally arrived.
