After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 266 - 261 Previous Life: Aren’t You Disgusted by Keeping Her?
Chapter 266: Chapter 261 Previous Life: Aren’t You Disgusted by Keeping Her?
Qin Jiangsheng noticed that Ji Tian paused in her movements and also saw Bai Tingyu; his gaze was indifferent and mixed with disgust. He subtly tilted his head, "Do you want to go in?"
Ji Tian shook her head, her expression filled with loss, "The woman inside, she’s the one my older brother loves. He knelt at our family’s doorstep and told our parents that he only wanted her in this life. Naturally, my parents had no objections. Happiness is something one must find themselves, but so is the bitterness one must swallow. It was her theft of the company secrets that gave Bai Tingyu the opportunity to ruin the Ji Family."
Her eyes reddened slightly, "It’s somewhat laughable, isn’t it? She’s just another pitiful soul manipulated by the world."
After all, this world isn’t real.
Everyone goes through the motions, like puppets.
Qin Jiangsheng looked down at her, his hand at his side twitched, and ultimately, he turned away indifferently, "Hmm."
Ji Tian composed herself and walked into the private room, which was different from what she had imagined. It was a proper dining room, and inside was a man in his forties waiting; he was pot-bellied, his face so chubby that his eyes were barely visible, flirting with a glamorous woman in a red dress, which made him look somewhat greasy.
The President heard movement and was surprised to see such a young man, hesitated and asked, "Mr. Qin?"
Qin Jiangsheng nodded slightly, "President Zhou, hello."
President Zhou looked at him enthusiastically, stood up and invited Qin Jiangsheng to sit, then said, "Mr. Qin looks somewhat unfamiliar, hard to imagine someone so young could grow a company so large, rivaling even that of the Bai Family."
When Qin Jiangsheng dealt with people, that indifferent expression became somewhat lively, the mask one must wear in social circles.
He slightly curled his lips, "You flatter me. I’ve been developing business overseas all these years, haven’t paid much attention to Capital City’s market, fortunately, my subordinates did well and didn’t embarrass me."
While speaking, he took out a box of cigarettes from his suit pocket, drew one, and placed it in his mouth, signaling to Ji Tian, "Light it."
Ji Tian held the lighter, her hands shaking as she lit his cigarette. President Zhou had been paying attention to Ji Tian for a long time, such a beauty was rare in Capital City, but the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed...
Ji Tian choked on the cigarette smoke for a moment, then stood obediently, more like a nanny than a companion.
Because President Zhou’s woman sat on his lap and even pawed him, Ji Tian, who had never seen such provocative scenes, looked away, pretending not to see.
However, President Zhou widened his eyes, "Yo, isn’t this the young Miss Ji? Mr. Qin, you move fast, having snagged this blossoming flower everyone has their eye on."
Qin Jiangsheng bit his cigarette and chuckled, smoke swirling around him, adding a touch of roguishness, "She’s lovely to look at, I’m keeping her for now."
President Zhou’s eyes filled with envy, Miss Ji from the Ji Family was a treasured figure, fallen from grace but still protected by someone. Despite being tempted, he knew the rules, it was still fresh for Qin, and it wasn’t his place to ask for her, thus, he shifted the conversation to business.
President Zhou had business conflicts with the Bai Family, so he found it easy to agree with Qin Jiangsheng, and soon they finalized a contract, then started drinking, taking turns toasting.
"You’re wounded..." Ji Tian wanted to remind him that his gunshot wound hadn’t healed, and he shouldn’t drink.
He looked up, his brow slightly tense, his eyes calm, "Shh."
Seeing this, Ji Tian fell silent.
President Zhou offered Ji Tian a drink, she moved her lips; she was allergic to alcohol and couldn’t drink.
But before she could refuse, Qin Jiangsheng took it instead, lightly raising an eyebrow, "She can’t hold her liquor, I’ll drink with you."
President Zhou was already drunk, belching, "You really dote on her... Miss Ji has a good life, protected by her family when young, and even in hard times, someone shields her... Mr. Qin, this toast is to you..."
Thirty minutes later.
President Zhou was passed out on the table, Qin Jiangsheng’s expression still clear, he said to Ji Tian, "Let’s go."
"Ah? What about him..." she pointed to President Zhou.
"Someone will take care of him." Qin Jiangsheng stepped out and walked away.
Qu Rong had already settled the bill and went to the garage to drive.
Ji Tian was at the entrance of Heavenly with Qin Jiangsheng. She rarely visited such places, but her third brother was a frequent visitor.
"Ji Tian! Who is he?"
Just as she thought of Weinan, she heard his voice, which startled her, and then she saw the bearded Weinan, his eyes ablaze with anger staring at her.
His hair had grown long, messy and unkempt. Ji Tian watched him quietly, oh, she forgot, he was now a vagrant on the streets.
His elder and second brother didn’t want him anymore.
His parents acted as if they had never given birth to this son.
Ji Tian thought about how her earnest persuasion had only pushed him further into the abyss.
It had ultimately turned into this situation. Ji Tian really wanted to ask him if he regretted it now.
Would he now believe her previously "crazy" words?
But on second thought, she let it go, suddenly feeling deflated. What was the use of regretting now? After all, it had reached this point.
Qin Jiangsheng squinted at him, then calmly lit a cigarette, ignoring Weinan, who glared at Ji Tian with red eyes.
At that moment, Xu Rang walked over, his gaze lingering intensely on Ji Tian’s exposed skin: "Who else could it be? Of course, it’s her Golden Master. What, the Ji family has fallen on hard times and now relies on a woman to make a living? Hahaha."
Weinan glared fiercely at him: "Shut up, you beast. Tiantian, come home with your third brother."
He stepped forward to grab Ji Tian but was kicked away by Qin Jiangsheng.
Indifferent, Qin Jiangsheng looked up, then glanced at Xu Rang’s sleazy gaze, thought for a moment, and took off his suit jacket to drape over Ji Tian.
"Sorry, she is with me now," he declared in a cold voice, stating the fact to everyone present.
Leaving no room for contradiction.
His aura was so strong. Xu Rang clenched his teeth in resentment but kept his eyes on Ji Tian, and after a moment, he smirked: "You don’t mind keeping her? I mean, she and I..."
He left his words hanging, intentionally leading the thoughts astray.
Ji Tian felt disgusted looking at him. Today’s dress was inconvenient for her to take action. She frowned in annoyance, wishing she could kick him right now and distort that smug face of his.
Qin Jiangsheng lifted his gaze and approached: "Is that so? You want her?"
Xu Rang’s eyes lit up with excitement. Unable to control his trembling body, he nodded. He even started imagining how he would torment Ji Tian.
He wanted to break her hands and legs, she just needed to wait in bed for him every day.
"Heh."
Qin Jiangsheng suddenly bent his knee into Xu Rang’s stomach. The intense pain forced Xu Rang to brace his hands on the ground, his neck veins bulging. Clutching his stomach, he couldn’t comprehend why this man had suddenly attacked.
With one foot on his back, Qin Jiangsheng ground his dress shoe harshly on his clothes, his voice cold: "My shoe got dirty, let me wipe it with your clothes."
He stepped back, embraced Ji Tian’s shoulders, and passed the crowd to get into the car. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Weinan wanted to chase after them, but he had barely eaten for days and had been kicked by Qin Jiangsheng, so he couldn’t even stand up. He could only watch as his sister was taken away by this man, the car speeding off into the distance.
