After arriving home, Lu Yanbei went to the kitchen to cook, while Ji Xingchen went to the study.

As a result, as soon as I turned on the computer, I received a call from Lu Chen.

Ji Xingchen didn't really want to answer, but the bell kept ringing, as if the owner would never give up until he answered.

Ji Xingchen could only pick it up.

"Brother Shen." Ji Xingchen spoke slowly.

As if he didn't expect the other party to answer, Lu Chen was silent for two seconds before speaking: "Xingchen...how are you doing recently?"

Ji Xingchen moved the mouse and said, "It's pretty good. Is something wrong?"

Lu Chen said: "Nothing, I just wanted to ask how you are doing now."

Ji Xingchen felt that Lu Chen was talking nonsense. Why did he ask the same question twice?

She said impatiently: "I told you, it's fine. Is there anything else?"

The subtext is that if nothing happens, can you hang up?

Lu Chen said hurriedly: "Yes, I want to say sorry to you."

Ji Xingchen didn't know why: "Sorry?"

"Yes." Lu Chen shook his phone and said, "I didn't help you when something happened to the Ji family before. I'm sorry."

"Oh." Ji Xingchen said: "The Ji family's affairs cannot be solved with just a few words. You were not the only one who didn't help during that time, and you have no obligation to help me, so there is no need to apologize to me."

Lu Chen didn't expect that she would draw a clear line between herself and him in just a few words and put him and that group of people together. He felt like he was pricked by a needle in his heart.

"I've asked about the Ji family's affairs, but it's too difficult. It just so happened that Lu's project had a problem, and I had to follow it all the time. I also wanted to help you, but I really couldn't spare the time. Xingchen, why are you doing this?

Are you angry with me?"

Ji Xingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Lu Chen's words seemed to be explaining to her, but in fact they were just defending himself.

Sometimes she couldn't understand people like Lu Chen, and she didn't mean to blame him, but he still made a special call afterward to say how embarrassed he was. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he couldn't help.

It seems that Lu Chen has been doing this kind of hindsight thing forever.

Ji Xingchen didn't take his advice: "Why should I be angry with you? I didn't know you well enough that you could help me, and I don't know what the point of your phone call was after that.

I don't need your apology. I prefer my husband to take action rather than words."

Her words directly pointed out what Lu Chen felt embarrassed about, and the other party was silent for a while.

Ji Xingchen said: "If there is nothing else, I will hang up."

"Wait." Lu Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was no longer struggling: "The Lu family recently had a project that required the Gu family's signature. Aren't you on good terms with Gu Yao? So I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Ji Xingchen was happy when he heard this: "Why should I help you?"

I bet this is the purpose of Lu Chen's phone call.

Lu Chen: "Just pretend that we have met each other and help Brother Shen, okay? Didn't Brother Shen help you before? I must get this project, otherwise you will know about my dad..."

Ji Xingchen flicked his nails: "Is this kind of old sesame and rotten millet thing worth talking about? I'm sorry, people who want to be good to me, Ji Xingchen, have been queued up from here to abroad. Do I have to go and thank them one by one?

?”

Lu Shenwei didn't expect Ji Xingchen to speak so harshly, but he asked for help and still swallowed his anger, "Xingchen, I know you blamed me for not helping you because something happened to the Ji family, but I really had no choice but to live in a difficult situation in the Lu family.

, one step at a time and one step at a time, I am different from Lu Yanbei. He was born with everything and can get the Lu family without any effort, but I have to give..."

"Stop it." Ji Xingchen really couldn't listen anymore: "You are so big-faced, how can you compare with my husband? He is the real eldest son of the Lu family, who are you?"

Ji Xingchen didn't say the worse words. She hung up the phone with a cold face, and then blocked all Lu Chen's contact information.

Ji Xingchen puffed up her cheeks angrily. She shouldn't have answered the call at all. Wasn't this causing trouble for herself?

Now she can't bear to hear anyone say that her husband is not.

Her large dog is obviously so good.

After thinking about it, Ji Xingchen sent another WeChat message to Gu Yao.

[Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Jingjing]: Does Lu Chen have a project that requires your father’s signature recently?

Gu Yao returned soon.

[Yao Yao]: Yes, how did you know?

[Yao Yao]: Two days ago, I came to my house and gave my dad two boxes of fine black tea, but my dad didn’t take it.

[Yao Yao]: What, he came to find you?

[Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Jingjing]: Well, let me have a nice word with you and your dad.

[Yao Yao]: What do you think?

[Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Jingjing]: Tell your dad not to sign for him.

[Yao Yao]:...What kind of hatred or resentment?

[Yao Yao]: Are you venting your anger on your husband?

[Twinkle Twinkle Jingjing]: Yes!

[Yao Yao]: Get away, thank you.

[Yao Yao]: I have really eaten enough dog food.

Ji Xingchen smiled and put away his phone.
