My Nemesis Has Finally Gone Bankrupt - Chapter 46
[Chapter 46]
Ji Ran originally didn’t want to go, he didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of Ji’s family at all.
It’s just that Mrs. Ji called him specially and told him to be there, saying that after discussing with Ji Guozheng, she had something to announce to him on the day of the banquet.
Ji Ran didn’t wear a suit that day, Qin Man followed him, and when he went out, Ji Ran realized that he still had two bags in his hand.
“What is it?” he asked.
Qin Man said: “The gift is for uncle. We each have a copy.”
Ji Ran: “… When did you prepare it?” He has been dragging this matter for the past few days and was too lazy to do it. He originally planned to drop by for a while Buy a gift and go to Ji’s house.
“You just bought this on a temporary basis yesterday. You can see if it suits you.” Qin Man said, “My…uncle invited me before, I didn’t plan to go, but the gift has been prepared long ago. It’s ready-made Yes .”
Ji Ran asked: “Why don’t you go? If you don’t want to go, you can just stay at home, and I will go by myself.”
Anyway, he only intends to show his face, ask things clearly and leave.
“Didn’t I suddenly want to go again?” Qin Man frowned, and put the gift in the trunk, “I’ll drive?”
Ji Ran didn’t answer, and sat on the co-pilot. He was still chatting with Yue Wenwen in the WeChat group. If he didn’t reply in time, he might be bombarded by the other party with messages.
As soon as he drove out of the garage, the sun was shining directly on him. Ji Ran couldn’t help squinting his eyes, then opened the front cabinet, took out the sunglasses and handed them over: “…Wear it on.”
Qin Man was stunned and smiled . Received it: “Thank you.”
Ji Ran opened the bag and looked inside.
It is an exquisite box, and it can be recognized from the LOGO above that it is a certain valuable watch brand.
“Why did you buy him such an expensive one?” Ji Ran blurted out.
Qin Man’s smile grew wider: “This is the cheapest one among them.”
“Really?”
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll tell you the model number, can you search for it?”
Ji Ran naturally wouldn’t search. He closed the bag: “That’s about the same. How much? I’ll reimburse you.”
“No…”
“Why not? I gave it to someone else, so I can’t ask you to pay for it.” He opened the WeChat payment page, “Quick Say.”
Qin Man reported a number casually, and Ji Ran continued to join the chat in the group after transferring the money.
Ji Guozheng celebrated his birthday at the Ji family’s old house this time, and the parking line outside the old house’s entrance is full of luxury cars, but there are not many of them.
Ji Ran was the last one to arrive. When he entered, the group of people who were chatting and laughing in the living room suddenly fell silent and looked at him in unison.
He glanced at it from the corner of his eye. It seemed that Ji Guozheng had only invited some of his relatives to this birthday party, and his real wife was not among them.
It seems that what the Weibo comment said is true, there is indeed something wrong between the couple.
Many people knew Ji Ran’s temper, so they looked away tacitly with just one glance, but the eye contact in private was still subtle.
Ji Wei was standing near the porch chatting with his cousin, seeing them, the smile on his lips froze immediately.
Ji Guozheng came downstairs with a middle-aged man, smiling cheerfully: “Are you here? Welcome.”
“Uncle, happy birthday, I wish you good health.” Qin Man handed over the gift.
“It’s fine if someone comes, you don’t have to be so polite.” Ji Guozheng glanced at Ji Ran.
Ji Ran raised the bag: “Happy birthday.”
Ji Guozheng was satisfied at this point, he took the gift, and handed it to the life assistant who followed him: “It just so happens that the meal is almost ready. Let’s go, sit at the table. ”
Ji Ran sat at the farthest position from the main seat, and Qin Man sat beside him.
The meals on the table are exquisite and delicious, including lobster and abalone.
“Don’t eat too much.” Ji Ran whispered, “I’m going to have supper later.”
Qin Man replied: “Okay.”
“Come.” A middle-aged woman stood up with a smile on her face, “Let us A toast to Brother Zheng.”
Others responded one after another, and Ji Ran impatiently raised his glass and drank it down.
The topic on the table revolves around Ji Wei.
“Ji Wei, where’s Xiaoxu? Why didn’t you come over today?” One of the elders asked about Ji Wei’s fiancée.
Ji Wei smiled calmly: “She’s in a hurry, so she can’t come.”
Ji Ran sat with his chin on his back, raised his eyebrows at Qin Man, and signaled him to pour him a drink.
“Let’s talk about Ji Ran—”
Ji Ran turned his head and met the eyes of the elder.
The woman paused, and continued: “What happened a few days ago really frightened me. You said that you are such an old man, how can you still be so careless?” There
was a silence on the table.
Ji Ran’s expression was as usual, and he even smiled: “What did I do?” The
woman coughed lightly, and continued, “What else can I do? It’s not the hot search two days ago, you and…your business It’s all put on the Internet, so it’s not good.”
She put on a look of helplessness, “We can understand that you usually do things a little wildly, after all, you have been a child… But you can’t do it too much, Do you know that some things are illegal?” The
others ate at a slower pace, looking like they were waiting for a good show.
“Who are you here?” Ji Ran asked suddenly.
Woman: “…I am your aunt!”
“Oh——” Ji Ran nodded, a little surprised, “Grandma is so smart, how could she give birth to someone with your IQ?”
Qin Man couldn’t hold back, and a laugh came out of his mouth.
The woman didn’t seem to know her nephew very well, so she bumped into him head-on.
The woman’s complexion changed: “What did you say?!”
Ji Ran sneered: “Auntie, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean anything malicious.”
“Those people only tell the truth, and the incident is such a big deal, I was taken away by the police a long time ago .” After investigating, can you still sit here to celebrate my dad’s birthday? Tell me, don’t you have a good time here?” He pointed to his head.
The others couldn’t help laughing too. The woman couldn’t hold back her face, she gritted her teeth and said, “Whoever said that no one is telling the truth on the Internet, why don’t you
just—” “This beef is a bit cooked.” Ji Guozheng said in a deep voice, interrupted her, and said He gave her a warning look.
Ji Ran’s face turned dark immediately, and just as he was about to explode, his thigh suddenly felt hot.
Qin Man put his hands under the dining table and rubbed him comfortingly.
There was a sound at the door at the right time, ending the topic. A girl hurriedly came in from the door with a soft voice: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, the master of the barber shop is too slow, and there is a traffic jam outside, so he is late…”
It was Ji Tang who came. Wearing a pink and white suspender dress, she ran up to Ji Guozheng in small steps, and handed him a gift, “Uncle! Happy birthday! I wish you success in everything and happy every day!”
Ji Guozheng took it with a light smile: “Good boy, Sit down quickly.”
Ji Tang then looked at the people on the table, her father must have reserved a seat for her, but she saw the empty seat on Qin Man’s right at a glance.
Without much hesitation, she shyly sat beside Qin Man.
Worried about being discovered, Ji Ran quickly moved his legs, motioning for Qin Man to let go.
Unaware of Ji Tang, she sat next to Qin Man and called shyly, “Brother Qin Man, long time no see.”
“Hahaha.” The woman seemed to have finally found the steps, and looked at the middle-aged man opposite. , “Brother, this girl is not going to stay, you have to be careful.”
“I hope she gets married quickly, so that she doesn’t have to run around all day.” The middle-aged man said cheerfully, “If you want to pick a good one, It’s not a bad thing to get married early.” The
woman followed the words: “Look at how red Tangtang’s face is, I’ll just say, what kind of hair do you go to do? It turns out that I knew Qin Man would come—— ”
Gu!” Ji Tang interrupted her in embarrassment.
“Shy?” The woman’s eyes lingered on Qin Man. It’s no wonder Ji Tang likes him so much. If she was five or ten years younger, she would have stepped into Qin Man’s trap.
She said in a half-joking tone, “Qin Man, what do you think of our girl? She has her heart hanging on you.”
Ji Ran sneered from the bottom of his heart.
Dare to feel that he is the extra person on the table, the family’s attitude towards Qin Man is hundreds of times better than him.
“Qin Man?” He suddenly said lazily, “He already has a girlfriend.”
He turned his face and asked Qin Man, “Is he getting married at the end of the year?”
Qin Man raised his eyebrows: “No. ”
Ji Ran: “…”
Seeing his complexion suddenly darken, Qin Man laughed: “I have a girlfriend, but I have no plans to get married yet.” On the
other end, Ji Wei also raised his head, wondering: “You When did you have a girlfriend?”
“Recently.” Qin Man smiled, “It took me many years to catch up.”
Seeing Ji Tang’s expression froze, the woman quickly helped her find out: “Many years? Could it be your first love? Someone you like in school?”
“Yes.”
The woman said: “What’s the matter? My sister told you, don’t rush to get married. First love is an impulsive impulse when you are not mature. After a long time together, you will find that she may not be so mature. Well, it’s not suitable for you at all.”
“It’s not impulsive.” Qin Man’s smile curved perfectly, and his tone was natural, “It’s impossible to be impulsive for several years. I was too shy when I was in school, and I didn’t dare to chase after it. I regretted it later. I didn’t expect it to be a coincidence… I bumped into it again, and I found that I still like it very much, and I can’t forget it.”
Originally, she wanted to provoke, but unexpectedly, she was shown a face, and she said dumbly: “She always has shortcomings…”
Qin Manyi Yan: “She has a bad temper and easily offends people. But she is actually very soft-hearted and cute.”
“If I can… I really want to marry her, but I’m afraid she won’t.”
At the end of his speech, his expression was helpless Poor again.
Everyone at the table was dumbfounded, especially Ji Wei.
How could Qin Man still make such an expression?
Is this the Kaolin Flower classmate he knew? ?
Also—someone you like at school? Dare to ask, in the six years of junior and senior high school, besides the menopausal math teacher, which girl did you talk to more? ? ?
Whoosh –
Ji Ran stepped back suddenly, stood up, and the chair legs made a sharp rubbing sound on the ground.
His face was expressionless, but his ears were red, and he said in a low voice: “I’m going out to smoke a cigarette.”
The moment he turned around, Ji Ran’s tense expression instantly collapsed— what’s
going on with Qin Man! ?
Isn’t it just making up a story, just point it to the end, why do you have to make up so many plots! ?
The most important thing is…
Ji Ran walked to the corridor, eagerly lit the cigarette, and took a sharp puff. He couldn’t help but raise his hand, buried his face in his palm, trying to control his heartbeat.
What’s going on with his inexplicable sense of substitution…
