Chapter 167 Moving Back to Live Together
Back home, Ji Jingshen gently placed her on the bed, changed her clothes which smelled of alcohol, and then went to the bathroom. Soon after, he came out with a damp towel and carefully wiped Song Qianyi's face.
"woke up?"
When he saw her open her eyes, Ji Jingshen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He had thought she wouldn't wake up until tomorrow morning.
"Do not touch me!"
Song Qianyi sat up irritably and slapped his hand away.
The crisp sound of a slap instantly silenced the room, and Ji Jingshen frowned slightly.
"You're in cahoots with them, they all bully me. All those promises about making it up to me are lies."
She started crying as she spoke, and Ji Jingshen, who was standing next to her, was at a loss and awkwardly took the towel in his hand to wipe her tears.
"Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll go teach him a lesson."
The first person that came to Ji Jingshen's mind was Cheng Linhao, after all, he had just called Wenya and learned that she had gone back to the Song family's old house.
Ji Jingshen's eyes were deep as he tightened his grip on Song Qianyi, wanting to take this opportunity to completely integrate her into his bones and blood, never to be separated again.
"My parents all favor Song Qianyu, and no one cares about me anymore." Thinking of what happened in the old house, Song Qianyi could no longer hold back her tears, which fell down in a steady stream, and she cried harder and harder.
Ji Jingshen was stunned for a moment, then hugged the person in his arms with heartache and comforted them, "You still have me. I will always be with you and stand behind you."
Upon hearing his words, Song Qianyi's crying gradually stopped. She looked up and stared at him intently, as if trying to identify who he was. When she finally saw the man in front of her clearly, she became even more unhappy.
"You're no better. Because of a man, you've never believed me. I've explained it to you many times, but you yourself have never believed that you're in cahoots with them!"
As Song Qianyi spoke, she pushed the man away, causing Ji Jingshen's heart to clench painfully.
"I was wrong, and I will definitely change. I will never doubt you again, okay?"
The man's voice was deep, and perhaps believing him, Song Qianyi gradually stopped pushing him.
Ji Jingshen held her tightly in his arms, gently comforting her. After waiting for Song Qianyi's reply, he couldn't hear her voice for a long time. He looked down and realized that the person in his arms had already fallen asleep. He was both amused and exasperated.
After placing Song Qianyi on the bed and covering her with the blanket, he quietly left for the study.
The next day, as soon as Song Qianyi opened her eyes, the events of the previous night replayed in her mind frame by frame. Recalling the silly things she had done the night before, her face turned bright red.
Was she crazy last night? She actually hugged Ji Jingshen and went crazy, saying things like she was being bullied.
Song Qianyi slapped her burning cheeks hard, awkwardly tossing and turning on the bed. She was too ashamed to face anyone now; she might as well give her a block of tofu and let her kill herself.
After lying in bed for a long time, Song Qianyi slowly crawled out of the covers. She glanced at the time and saw that it was almost nine o'clock. Although she was reluctant to go out and see people, she still got out of bed.
The room's layout clearly identifies it as Ji Jingshen's room.
To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food coming from the living room, and her stomach rumbled. Song Qianyi glanced around awkwardly.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure no one had heard; she was practically dying of frustration today.
"Come and eat when you wake up."
The food on the table was plentiful, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and even small wontons.
"Where did you buy this? It's delicious."
After finding out which shop it was, she went there for breakfast every day from then on.
"I do it by myself."
Song Qianyi paused in her soup-drinking motion. "I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."
It's a real shame I didn't get to try it before.
Ji Jingshen's lips curled into a smile, but he quickly regained his composure and said nonchalantly, "If you want to eat, you can move back in and live with me. I'll make breakfast every morning."
Song Qianyi thought for a moment and then agreed. After all, she planned to try to start over with Ji Jingshen, and most importantly, the man's cooking was really delicious.
It would be a shame not to enjoy it properly.
Thinking about it, she stuffed another wonton into her mouth, unaware that Ji Jingshen's eyes lit up with intense joy after he agreed.
After finishing her meal, Song Qianyi sat on the sofa and thought about what happened last night. She was angry at the time and didn't think much about it, but now that she had calmed down, she felt that something was wrong.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ji Jingshen placed a cup of tea in front of her and asked softly.
“When I went back to my hometown last night, I saw Cheng Linhao at home. I have a feeling that he has ill intentions and wants to undermine my power in the group.”
Song Qianyi was frowning as she pondered the matter, unaware of the man's expression beside her, which darkened when she mentioned Cheng Linhao's name.
"Could you help me investigate Cheng Linhao and see what kind of underhanded things he's been up to behind the scenes?"
This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Ji Jingshen raised an eyebrow, his expression softening slightly, and tentatively asked, "If he really has a problem, what do you plan to do?"
As far as he knew, Cheng Linhao's company had recently received several new external projects.
Song Qianyi frowned, looking at him with a puzzled expression. "What else can I do? Cheng Linhao is already trying to cut off my source of income, so of course I'll fight back."
She's not the original owner of this body; she's just a hopeless romantic.
Hearing her explanation, Ji Jingshen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If he really has been making any underhanded moves, I will not let him off easily."
Ideally, we should take this opportunity to completely plunge Cheng Linhao into the abyss, so that he can never climb out again.
However, he did not tell Song Qianyi about this idea.
"You won't need to lift a finger; I'll do it myself. Otherwise, people will think I'm easy to bully."
Ji Jingshen hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He had said he would trust Song Qianyi, and wasn't this a perfect opportunity?
Although she asked Ji Jingshen to help investigate, Song Qianyi did not let her guard down and went directly to the company that afternoon.
"Why did you come over, sister?"
Song Qianyu was chatting with Cheng Linhao in the office when she heard the door open. She hurriedly put her phone away and frowned when she saw Song Qianyi.
"Have you prepared the financial statements I mentioned last night? I'd like to take a look."
She knew in her heart that Song Qianyu wasn't a bad person; she was just worried about being kicked out. However, she trusted Cheng Linhao too much and was easily manipulated, just like the original owner of this body.
