C9 Deer as Horse

"..." "Oh." I nodded my head. It was true that I was unable to remain calm. Perhaps it was because I was too impatient, but Ji Liang grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. He lowered his head and whispered a few words into my ear.

"..." With your current status, Duan An can't be bothered to ask her mother for help. Don't worry. "

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" I gave Ji Liang a punch. When I heard that the old demoness didn't know how to deal with me, I suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"I should have said it earlier. Can you hug me so tightly?" Ji Liang's tone carried a hint of a smile. 'I was just making fun of him,' he thought to himself.

"Ah Liang."

It was unknown when Duan An appeared behind us, but his expression wasn't too good either. It seemed that all the 'flirting' from before had fallen into her eyes.

"Calm down." Ji Liang replied with a smile, but the corners of his eyes didn't waver in the slightest. After all, a smile that wasn't sincere could never reach the corners of his eyes.

Duan An looked at me warily, then tiptoed over to whisper a few words in Ji Liang's ear. From the way Ji Liang slightly leaned backwards, I knew he must be annoying her.

"I'm going to talk about something. Wait for me." After Duan An finished speaking, Ji Liang patted the back of my hand and walked towards a passage in the hall. I opened my mouth to follow him, but I was afraid that the person he saw was Duan Dan Yi, so I could only give up.

"Hmph …" You clearly knew that I would deal with you, yet you were left here by yourself. Duan An looked at me and sneered. His entire body was filled with a sense of superiority. That really made me speechless for a moment.

"How do you think I'm going to deal with you?"

I guess you are.

"I'm young and have experienced much less, how could I have guessed your thirty years of shrewdness?"

"You …"

After being stepped on by me on the taboo of age, Duan An immediately became so angry that he started blowing his beard and glaring at me. No matter how well a woman maintains, she will slowly lose her confidence as time passes. Actually, Duan An isn't old at all, and he isn't even thirty years old.

Returning 10%, I didn't want to waste any more time with Duan An. I turned around and was about to leave when she grabbed my wrist.

"What is Sister An doing?"

I couldn't break free, so I gave up struggling. I was afraid that she would tear me apart out of anger, so I feigned calmness on the surface.

"Do you know Ji Liang?"

"You don't need to worry about that, right?"

My mouth was clean, but my heart was in doubt. After all, I really didn't understand Ji Liang.

"Hmph …" Stop pretending with me. Women are stupid. Do you think he would have feelings for her? You didn't know he had an ex-girlfriend who was depressed and suicidal, did you? She was abandoned, because she has no more fun than you do! "

After saying that, Duan An shook my hand off, waiting to see the incredulous expression on my face. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I bent down to pick up An Ran's watch from the ground."

"A 7 year limited diamond watch and 99 pieces. With such diligence, who gave it to you?"

"Give it back to me!" Duan An lowered his head and touched his wrist. After that, he rudely took the watch from me. This was the first time I saw her in such a rush.

"I'll give it to you. What's the rush?"

I smiled shamelessly.

"But, Sister An, why would I choose to trust you between you and Ah Liang? After talking so much, you must be thirsty, right? "

I casually picked up a glass of red wine from the long table and handed it to her. Calmly turning around, I left. If it was someone who deeply loved Ji Liang who heard these words, regardless of whether it was true or false, they wouldn't feel good.

"Done." I secretly sent a message to Ji Liang. Afterwards, I deleted the communication log and hid the transferred watch in my handbag. I have to say, Ji Liang's eyesight is really good. This watch's quality is indeed rare, but … Why did he send it to Duan An'an?

Last time, I was with Jiang Yi's girlfriend, so I could find a place to hide. This time, Ji Liang was the one leaning against a tree.

Walking a few steps from the middle of the banquet hall to the sofa at the side, I couldn't count the number of times I was stopped. The first few words were all about Ji Liang, and the rest was just to get close to him.

Finally sitting down, he heard — "Miss, are you Mr. Ji's girlfriend?" A well-dressed woman in her late twenties or early thirties took a glass of wine and sat down beside me.

"..." "I'm just a friend, my name is Mo Li." The woman smiled lightly, clearly not believing me, but she didn't want to make a fuss about it, "Miss Mo, I'm called Jiang Yuan Qing, the development manager of the Duan Clan, Duan Dan Yi is my aunt."

"So it's Miss Jiang." I smiled faintly. My heart was already like a dog. How could Duan Danyi's niece be so easy to deal with … Wait, her surname was Jiang, didn't those with the surname Jiang all die to Duan Danyi? How could she be a guest at Duan Danyi's table? My intuition tells me that this woman is not simple.

We didn't talk about anything nutritious after that, but we talked about the inexhaustible topics of jewelry and accessories, skin care, and other women. Jiang Yuan's temperament was as gentle as a orchid, and he treated people with courtesy. He was completely different from Duan An's domineering attitude, but he was able to make Duan Danyi look like an adult, or perhaps it was because he had no choice but to do it to her.

Ji Liang had already been inside for half an hour, but he still hadn't come out. I couldn't help but stick out my neck to look at the corridor before I heard a chuckle by my ear.

"Heh …" It's only been a short while, and you're already thinking about it? "

"Ah?" "I …" Being teased by Jiang Yuan Qing, I couldn't explain myself clearly for a moment. I thought it would be better to forget about it. My relationship with Ji Liang, who didn't have any business in the village before, was unnecessary to explain.

"Little sister Mo Li," Jiang Yuan Qing suddenly covered the back of my hand and sighed lightly, "There are some women who wish to marry into a rich family at such a young age, and eat and dress in their entire lives without worry. However, there are some women who are too competitive, and must be half a head taller than a man in order to be satisfied.

With these words, Jiang Chuqing patted the back of my hand, stood up, and left. I thought she was punching me for a bit of peace, but after a few steps, she raised her head and drank a glass of wine. She glanced back at me, her pale eyes exuding a hint of sadness. They had met by chance, but why?

I stretched my head towards the corridor again. Was it really because of what Jiang Chuanqing had said that I couldn't see Ji Liang? I shook my head. I knew it was only a search for shelter. Even if Ji Liang had done me a favor, I still wouldn't have thought of him. After all, his charity was something that was above and above the use of others.

My eyes followed Jiang Yuechan, and I saw her roam freely among the different faces like a flower of interpretation. She was a natural beauty, but she was not one to be taken lightly. As she chatted and laughed, she played with the hearts of all the men in the room.

If it wasn't for her unique identity, I really would have asked for some advice.

When I withdrew my gaze, I suddenly saw a fat figure at the corner of my eyes. My heart skipped a beat.

It was actually Boss Li!

I picked up my bag and headed for the door. I almost twisted my ankle in my anxiety.

"Miss Mo Li, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Duan An blocked my path with malicious intent. He even brought a person with him, clearly indicating that he wanted to obstruct me. I had a bad feeling in my heart, I'm afraid this Boss Li has come for me.

"Sister An, what are you doing?" I turned my head around to take a look. Ji Liang still hadn't appeared. Boss Li was already walking towards us.

"I'll introduce you to the business. You're still a returning customer."

"You …" Seeing that Boss Li was about to come over, I didn't have time to spare him a second thought before I pushed Duan An away. Unexpectedly, the woman beside her pulled him back.

"Screech ~ ~" Isn't this Miss Mo of the rosmarinus? "

"…" In the blink of an eye, Boss Li's greasy pig face had already arrived in front of me. I turned my body to the side to hide my face. "You got the wrong person."

"Of course not, even if I mistook my own wife, I would still recognise a pretty good Miss Mo …"

Boss Li purposely shouted loudly, causing all the guests in the hall to look in this direction. I raised my hand to cover half of my face in embarrassment.

My body quivered slightly. Even my voice was shaking, and there was no momentum in my words. There were some things I thought I could pass through, but when I brought them up again, it was like a bloody black hole that made me feel intimidated and unable to escape.

The crowd began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Like I said, you got the wrong person. Boss Li, be careful." The buzzing of the flies filled his ears. The more he avoided the topic, the easier it was for him to be called up.

I can't make out what Boss Li is saying,

His body felt like it was falling off a cliff...

"Mo Li!"

"…" Suddenly, I opened my eyes. The man before me caught half of my body, causing me to tremble uncontrollably.

"Director Ji, how is it? Is the taste of Miss Mo good?"

Ji Liang held me upright in his arms. "Mo Li and I naturally have no doubts about our love. I just don't know who this lady is."

"Isn't that the person in Director Ji's arms? I am fortunate to have a close relative, but I will never forget that for the rest of my life … What does Director Ji think? "

"I, Ji Ning, am naturally satisfied with my fiancee."

"…" Fiancée? I was stunned for a moment before I raised my head to look at Ji Liang. It wasn't just me, Boss Li, and Duan An who widened their eyes when they heard this.
