After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Although Ji Zeqiu's fever had subsided, he was still somewhat weak. His agent saw that he only had two or three days left on his leave, so he simply let him go home and rest.

After returning to the apartment, Ji Zeqiu took the medicine, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

His brows were furrowed, as if he had slept very uneasily.

Ji Zeqiu dreamed that he was curled up in a dark corner, waiting for Wen Li to come.

The ticking of the clock continued to ring in his ears. At first, he followed the ticking and counted silently: thirty, three hundred, three thousand...

Later, he gradually lost track of how much he had counted, millions? Or tens of millions?

The ticking sound continued, torturing his waiting will bit by bit.

But the door was always closed and no one came to see him.

He put his head between his legs and bit his lips hard. Just when he was about to give up, there was finally a noise at the door.

A beautiful figure in a skirt walked in, stretched out her hand to him, with a gentle smile on her lips, "Mom is here to take you home..."

He placed his hand tremblingly on her palm, raised his head to see the person clearly, and was awakened by the sound of tinkling and clanging.

He opened his eyes hazily, escaping from the dark and scary room, and his tense emotions relaxed.

The noise started again.

"Ahh, the oil is splattering!"

"Hey, it hurts!"

Ji Zeqiu rubbed his temples irritably, then stood up and walked to the living room. He was immediately shocked when he saw Lin Xu in the kitchen, "What are you doing?!"

"You're awake. I thought of cooking something for you to replenish your body." Lin Xu waved the spatula in his hand.

Ji Zeqiu glanced at the slightly burnt meat in the pot, his expression a little subtle for a moment, thinking of the unpalatable fried meat before, he snatched the spatula from Lin Xu's hand and took her to the living room, "Cooking is the nanny's job, let her do it, you do your own thing."

"But there's nothing I can do now." Lin Xu blinked.

"Then you can check your phone or read a magazine." Ji Zeqiu stuffed a magazine into her arms without saying anything.

"...Okay." Just think of him as a mother who understands your tiredness.

Lin Xu casually flipped through the magazine in his hand.

Seeing the spatula being taken over by the nanny, Ji Zeqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just a quarter of an hour later, he heard Lin Xu's scream again.

"What's wrong?" Ji Zeqiu asked.

Lin Xu turned the magazine over and pointed at a jewelry necklace on it, her eyes shining: "This necklace is so beautiful!"

Ji Zeqiu had no interest in this kind of thing. He glanced at it briefly and said indifferently, "It's okay."

"Let's go buy it!" Lin Xu said excitedly.

"If you want to go, go by yourself." He didn't want to go out with her.

"How can I buy it if you don't go?"

"You don't want me to buy it for you?" Ji Zeqiu was surprised.

"Isn't it possible?" Lin Xu blinked at him, her crystal clear eyes flickering, making people feel soft-hearted.

Ji Zeqiu turned his head away suddenly, and said stiffly, "Of course not!"

He is not Ji Tingyang, why would he buy it for her, and his tone was so matter-of-fact.

"Really not?" Lin Xu reached out and touched the necklace on the magazine, with a look of regret on her face.

Her lips were pressed into a straight line, her excited expression just now was pulled down, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked pitiful.

"Actually..." Ji Zeqiu's eyes flickered, a little awkward, "It's not that I can't buy it for you..."

Why not let Ji Tingyang buy it for her? As soon as this thought came to my mind, I heard him change his words.

"Really?!" Lin Xu raised her head suddenly, her dull eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared at him, "I knew you were the best to me!"

The ears hidden in the hair were quietly flushed. Ji Zeqiu stretched his neck and shouted, "I bought you the necklace not because I am nice to you! This is a thank you gift for protecting me on the cliff and taking care of me yesterday. After you give it to me, we are even. Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, I understand." Lin Xu held her cheek happily.

"It's good that you know." Ji Zeqiu muttered, taking the magazine over, "Let me see how to buy it."

"I've checked. It's at the auction house. The time is this afternoon. It's a good time for us to leave now." Lin Xu had already memorized the relevant information and was about to pull him out.

Ji Zeqiu is a public figure, and it is not convenient for him to appear in front of so many people with Lin Xu. If someone takes a photo of them, it will become a hot topic in minutes.

So he contacted the auction staff, asked for a separate box, and took Lin Xu there.

There were still ten minutes left before the auction started. Lin Xu was killing time by picking up the brochure of tonight's auction exhibits and flipping through it.

Her attention was attracted by a pink diamond-encrusted bracelet. She counted the long string of zeros after the starting price and immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking Ji Zeqiu to give it to her.

There are too many zeros at the end of this. My son lives in a pitiful little apartment, so I'd better forget about this bracelet.

Ji Zeqiu, who was sitting opposite, was completely unaware of this. Lin Xu felt sorry for him in her heart again, otherwise she would have dragged her to check her bank card balance to prove her strength.

People who wanted to participate in the auction came in one after another and the auction began.

In the front were some antique paintings and calligraphy that Lin Xu had no interest in. It was only at halftime that the staff pushed the jewel necklace that she liked onto the stage.

Many men who came with their female companions raised their signs to raise the price, and in less than a moment, the price was raised to one million.

"One million and two hundred thousand." Lin Xu quickly raised the price.

"One million and a half." Soon someone surpassed her.

Lin Xu: "One million and six hundred thousand."

"One million, eight hundred thousand." It was surpassed again.

After several rounds of bidding, the price was raised to three million, and every bid made by Lin Xu was suppressed by others.

This feeling is so unpleasant.

Lin Xu was so angry that her eyes widened, and she even had the urge to increase the amount to five million. However, she felt sorry for Ji Zeqiu's money, so she suppressed the urge and drank her tea in a depressed mood.

Ji Zeqiu sighed, and as the staff member struck the first hammer, a deep voice came from the box, "Seven million."

He generously added four million, showing his determination to get the necklace.

The man downstairs who had been bidding with Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, then put down his number plate awkwardly.

He gave up.

No one continued to bid, and the necklace directly belonged to Ji Zeqiu.

Ji Zeqiu withdrew his gaze and met Lin Xu's eyes that were sparkling with emotion.

"I didn't expect you to spend so much money to buy me a necklace."

Ji Zeqiu turned his eyes away, his voice stuttering and stiff: "You, don't get me wrong, I just don't like that man!"
