Chapter 129: Chapter 129: This Guy Is Too Bad, Stay Away from Him in the Future

Lin Xu’s skin was fair, and the two bloodstains on the back of her hand were particularly conspicuous.

While she was picking up the food, Ji Tingyang noticed the bloodstains on the back of her hand at a glance, his expression suddenly turned grave, and he took her hand and asked, “Who scratched you?”

Ji Zeqiu also looked over, straightening his body from a previously relaxed posture, “What happened?!”

“I scratched myself accidentally.” Facing the serious gazes of her two sons, Lin Xu calmly withdrew her hand, “Today in the backyard, I was bitten by a mosquito and it itched a bit, so I scratched it, and it turned red.”

Wu Yanghui, as if clinging to the last straw, gripped her hand with unusual strength, and inadvertently left two or three bloody scratches on Lin Xu’s hand.

A droplet of blood slowly oozed from the wound.

Lin Xu watched the drop of blood, her expression gloomy, and said to the security personnel, “This man is emotionally unstable and has the potential to intentionally injure others. I hope you can carefully review the people coming and going next time, don’t just casually let anyone in.”

The security personnel also saw the drop of blood on her hand, and they were so frightened they hastily assured her that they would put the man on the blacklist and he wouldn’t be allowed to visit anymore.

In the end, Wu Yanghui was almost driven out disgracefully by security personnel wielding steel forks.

Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu both felt a loathing and resistance towards Wu Yanghui’s actions; not wanting to worry them, Lin Xu did not tell them about the incident in the afternoon.

After all, Wu Yanghui was now blacklisted and wouldn’t be able to disturb them at the villa anymore.

However, should she also talk to the security at Ji’s side in advance?

“What a crappy villa, there are even mosquitoes. Let’s go back to living in the apartment, I guarantee there won’t be a single mosquito.”

Ji Zeqiu’s disdainful voice rang out, interrupting Lin Xu’s thoughts.

“Your little apartment is even more run-down. Last time I visited, I even saw a cockroach. How could you have the cheek to let anyone live there?” Ji Tingyang’s eyes lifted slightly, casting a dismissive glance at him.

This guy was actually slandering his good image in front of their mother!

Ji Zeqiu glared at him angrily and quickly defended himself, “Don’t you falsely accuse me. I’ve been living there for years and I haven’t even seen an ant, let alone a cockroach!”

After saying that, he hurriedly sought confirmation from Lin Xu.

“Mother, you say, isn’t my apartment always kept very clean?”

He looked anxious, as if he feared Lin Xu would doubt he was a hygienic person.

Before Lin Xu had a chance to answer, the phrase “furious from embarrassment” floated to her ears, infuriating Ji Zeqiu so much he nearly went over to hit him.

“Your brother is just joking. If you get angry, wouldn’t you be playing into his hands? Good boy, sit down and eat,” Lin Xu quickly held on to Ji Zeqiu.

Ji Zeqiu sat down huffily and whispered to Lin Xu, “Mother, that guy is too mean, you should stay away from him in the future.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than his lower leg was kicked fiercely from underneath the table.

“Mother, he hit me!” Ji Zeqiu complained to Lin Xu.

Lin Xu: “…”

The dinner went on amidst chaos like chickens flying and dogs jumping.

At night.

Ji Tingyang asked the butler for the villa’s surveillance footage from today.

The butler hesitated, but unable to withstand Ji Tingyang’s piercing gaze, shakily went to copy the surveillance footage.

“What do you want the surveillance for?” Ji Zeqiu, who happened to pass by, asked curiously.

Ji Tingyang shot him a look, “Do you really think the bloodstain on mother’s hand is from her scratching herself?”

The villa was always undergoing pest control; it was impossible for there to be mosquitoes.

“What are you implying?” Ji Zeqiu didn’t understand.

Ji Tingyang was silent, for he needed to review the surveillance footage before he could know.

It wasn’t until they saw Wu Yanghui’s figure in the surveillance that both of their expressions turned grim.

Upon witnessing the process of Lin Xu’s hand being scratched, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned chillingly cold.@@novelbin@@

A good while passed.

Ji Zeqiu, gritting his teeth, broke the silence in the subdued room, “I didn’t think he would dare to come to our home.”

Ji Tingyang lifted his dark, cold eyes, “What do you mean, have you seen him?”

Ji Zeqiu remained silent for a moment.

Then he told him about the encounter at the airport that day.

——

The following day.

Just as Lin Xu had feared, after Wu Yanghui was unable to approach the villa, he found his way to the Ji Group’s corporate building.

However, to his surprise, as soon as he told the front desk that he was Ji Tingyang’s cousin, someone immediately escorted him upstairs, respectfully leading him to the president’s office.

Wu Yanghui was somewhat shocked by this reception that made him feel like an esteemed guest.

Wu Yanghui followed the employee to the office and upon entering, he saw Ji Tingyang sitting straight and proper.

He was holding a mouse, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looked at the computer screen, his sharp features touched with a trace of coolness, and his whole being emanating a proud and indifferent aura, warning strangers to keep their distance.

When he heard the noise, he looked up.

Wu Yanghui only felt a cold breath hit him full in the face, as if falling into an ice cellar, the chill spreading from the soles of his feet throughout his body.

In almost an instant, this chill seemed to retract back into Ji Tingyang’s body, as if what Wu Yanghui had just sensed was merely an illusion.

“Cousin, do you have something to discuss with me?” Ji Tingyang asked with a trace of warmth on his face.

Wu Yanghui, with surprise and excitement on his face, replied, “Tingyang, I didn’t think you would still remember me.”

“Of course, I heard that cousin visited the house a few days ago, but I happened to be away and missed you,” Ji Tingyang seemed a bit regretful.

“It’s alright, it’s my fault for not letting you know in advance before coming to see you,” Wu Yanghui said.

Ji Tingyang asked, “Is there a particular reason you came to see me all of a sudden?”

“Actually, there is something I was hoping you might help me with,” Wu Yanghui looked somewhat troubled.

“What is it? If there’s anything I can help with, just say it.” Ji Tingyang poured him a cup of tea.

Wu Yanghui, feeling flattered as he took the tea, and hearing these words, knew today would probably go smoothly.

He breathed a sigh of relief and voiced the difficulties of the food company back home.

As he had anticipated, his conversation with Ji Tingyang went very smoothly.

It felt like a dream.

The smile on Wu Yanghui’s face bloomed brightly.

“I’ll have my secretary draft an investment contract for you. If there aren’t any issues, we can sign it and seal the deal. If you need any other sales channels, I can help you look for them,” Ji Tingyang offered his help eagerly.

“I’ve been running around out there until my legs about fell off, and nobody would give me the time of day. Relatives really are reliable,” Wu Yanghui slapped his thigh, unable to contain his joy.

Before long, he became greedier, “Actually, with the economy being so difficult right now, an investment of one or two million won’t last long. How about adding another two or three million? Even twenty or thirty million would do.”

A hint of coldness flickered through Ji Tingyang’s smiling eyes.
