C40 The Wound at the Corner of His Mouth Was Taken Seriously
Some things just look at the surface, and the more you draw, the darker it gets, as if you see someone with a bloody knife in his hand and a dead man lying next to him. Then, he's destined to be the murderer.
Even if the truth is... Someone had deliberately placed it in your hands. Even if you tell everyone the truth, no one will believe you... Because people believed in their own eyes the most.
During breakfast.
"Mr Yixi, what happened to the corner of your mouth?" Ji Xue shouted and made Ji Ye and the servants look at Ji Yixi.
There was indeed a dark red bruise on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious on his handsome face, as if he had a fight with someone.
"It's nothing. I accidentally hit the corner of the table." Ji Yixi found an excuse to cover it up.
Ji Ye frowned. The corner of the table? This did not look like it at all. He could not have gotten into a fight with someone, right? "Yixi, why are you so careless? Don't go against the table. Men must be magnanimous!" He hinted.
"Yeah. I was too careless." Ji Yixi replied absent-mindedly. He didn't even raise his head, nor did he look at Ji Ye.
Ji Ye could clearly feel his indifference. Was there anything he was dissatisfied with? Or was it due to his personality?
From the beginning until now, he had never been close to him. However, he was his nephew and the eldest grandson of the Ji family. He had the reason and obligation to teach him a good lesson. It was normal to say that he didn't have good intentions when fighting someone.
With this thought in mind, Ji Ye didn't mind.
"It's really strange. Miss Lee also has such a thing in her mouth."
"Don't speak nonsense."
Not knowing which maid it was, she whispered in puzzlement. The other one hurriedly stopped her. His voice was not very loud. But in the restaurant that was already very quiet, everyone could hear it clearly.
The knives and forks in their hands clearly paused for a moment.
Ji Ye's face was gloomy. Ji Yixi ate his breakfast as if it had nothing to do with him. He didn't have much of a reaction.
Ji Xue exaggeratedly pretended to be angry. "Mr Yixi, what is going on?"
"What is going on?" Ji Yixi asked in confusion. He lazily raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xue, who was sitting opposite him and could not calm down for a moment. Why was Ji Xue so abnormal today? Maybe she knew something. Anyway, she was not someone to be trifled with.
Pretending to be so. Let's see how long you can pretend. Ji Xue laughed coldly in her heart. On the surface, she still looked innocent as she asked, "Why did Li also break the corner of his mouth? Could it be that he also knocked on the table?" She looked at Ji Ye and said in puzzlement, "Uncle. This table is really strange. Within a day... I knocked on two people. I will definitely change them another day." She turned around and said, "Don't you think so? Yixi."
When she thought about what might have happened last night, she was so angry that her teeth itched.
Ji Yixi still had an indifferent look on his face. He wiped the corner of his mouth and said indifferently, "Whatever. It's fine as long as Xue likes it."
Ji Xue was so angry that she had nothing to say, but on the surface, she still smiled.
"Go and call Ji Li here," Ji Ye said coldly. His eyes were full of coldness.
"Yes."
The maid ran down. Ji Li had already had breakfast and was waiting at the door. When she saw the maid calling her, she was still feeling strange. When she heard that her uncle wanted her to go to the restaurant immediately, she felt happy and scared. These two different feelings had always existed in her heart in harmony.
Ever since her feelings were resolved, she could not escape. Even if she denied it ten thousand times, it would be useless.
Ji Li jogged all the way into the restaurant and saw her uncle's very unhappy face. Ji Xue's cold smile and Ji Yixi's back.
"Uncle, what do you want from me?" She stood in front of Ji Ye and asked timidly. She was afraid of him and every time she talked to him, she would not dare to make a sound. But she still longed to see him. Now she finally understood why.
Ji Ye turned his head and looked at her face. His eyes kept looking down and stopped on the bruise on the right side of his mouth. Yixi's was on the left.
He asked faintly, "What's wrong with the corner of your mouth?" His tone was calm. He could not tell that there was a hidden emotion in it. At the same time, he cast a sidelong glance at Ji Yixi, wanting to see his reaction.
Finally, Ji Yixi wasn't indifferent. He secretly tightened his grip on the fork.
