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

Fell into the pool?

drowning?

Ji Zeqiu was stunned. "Doesn't he know how to swim? How could he drown?"

"It's all Wen Li's fault. I don't know what she was up to. She pushed the young master into the swimming pool when he wasn't paying attention. Even though he could swim, he didn't react." The housekeeper got angry when he talked about this. "Even if she doesn't like the young master, she doesn't have to hurt him like this. Fortunately, Miss Lin was there at the time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous..."

When the housekeeper thinks about it now, he feels a little scared.

Ji Zeqiu's mind suddenly flashed back to what Lin Xu had told him - "Wen Li pushed Ji Tingyang into the swimming pool and almost killed him..."

What did he say at that time?

He said he didn't believe it. He had seen Wen Li's kindness and didn't believe she would do such a thing.

Ji Zeqiu clenched his hands at his sides, his throat rolling with difficulty, "When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?"

The housekeeper thought about it and said, "It happened several months ago. The eldest young master was hospitalized for a few days at that time. I wanted to tell you, the second young master, but the eldest young master disagreed, so I didn't tell you."

Ji Zeqiu took a deep breath, his face gloomy, and stared at the drained swimming pool for a long time in silence.

"Second Young Master?" The butler looked at him cautiously, not knowing what he was thinking and feeling uneasy.

There was a sudden noise at the door.

Ji Zeqiu turned around and found that it was Ji Tingyang and Lin Xu who came back from outside.

Ji Tingyang was carrying a few bags filled with vegetables and snacks, as if he and Lin Xu were going to the supermarket.

He handed the bag to the nanny, and when he saw Ji Zeqiu in the room, he frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"

His tone was full of disdain, as if he didn't welcome Ji Zeqiu's appearance.

The entanglement and discomfort in Ji Zeqiu's heart at the beginning were dispelled by his disgusting words, and he returned to his previous confrontation with Ji Tingyang, "Why can't I be here? This is also my home. I can come when I want and leave when I want."

Ji Tingyang glanced at him and said, "Now it's your home. When you moved out before, who said you would never come back to live here again?"

"I'm not coming back to live here! I'm here to take Lin Xu back. She wants to live with me!"

"no!"

"Then I won't endorse your project anymore!"

"The contract has been signed, if you don't want to pay the penalty."

"you!"

In a blink of an eye, the two brothers started arguing again.

"Sit down! No noise is allowed!" Lin Xu put his hands on his hips and glared at them fiercely.

Seeing the two of them sitting upright on the sofa, he nodded with satisfaction and carried the fruits he had just bought from the supermarket into the kitchen, "I'll go wash the fruits for you."

The noisy atmosphere fell into silence.

Ji Zeqiu twisted his trouser legs with his hands on his knees and glanced secretly at Ji Tingyang.

After a while, he said shyly: "You, are you okay recently?"

Ji Tingyang looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Ji Zeqiu opened his mouth, but the words in his throat struggled for a long time and he couldn't utter them.

When she met Ji Tingyang's gaze, she immediately began to talk nonsense nervously, "I want to say that you are so busy at work every day, your body must be very weak, right? You are so old now, you should pay more attention to yourself, otherwise no one will want you in the future."

"……ill."

Ji Tingyang rolled his eyes, said this, got up and went into the kitchen.

Ji Zeqiu glanced back at his straight back and muttered to himself.

If you are so irritable when swearing, you should be fine by now.

-

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the weather in Wumeng seemed as if it was going to rain at any time.

Ji Zeqiu finished his work for the day, refused his agent's offer to pick him up, and drove back to the apartment by himself.

I don't know if it's a habit or what.

Ji Zeqiu drove around the city, and before he knew it, he arrived at the university gate.

In the past, whenever he was in a bad mood or really wanted to see Wen Li, he would drive here.

Even if I can't see her, I will feel much better as long as I can be closer to her.

But now...

Ji Zeqiu leaned against the car door, the cigarette flickering at his fingertips, white smoke overflowing from his mouth, and he was still in a bad mood.

"Ze Qiu?" A small, uncertain voice sounded not far away.

Ji Zeqiu turned his head and found Wen Li looking at him in surprise.

She trotted over to him, looking a little flustered, "Why are you here? And you're not wearing a mask, what if someone recognizes you?"

Fortunately, it was class time and there were not many students walking around the school gate. Everyone was in a hurry and did not notice him.

Wen Li said this worriedly, and when she looked up, she met his eyes that were reflecting a faint light and were deep and gloomy. They were like an abyss of ice that was bottomless, making her feel a chill in her heart.

"Why did Ji Tingyang suddenly want to let you leave the villa?"

He spoke suddenly.

Wen Li's heart suddenly tightened. She didn't understand what he meant by this question and stammered, "I, I..."

Did Ji Zeqiu know?

So you come over to question her?

Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Is it because of Lin Xu?"

"I don't know either, maybe." Wen Li's smile was a little forced, "What's wrong with you? Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Ji Zeqiu saw a hint of guilt hidden in her flickering eyes.

Although I have known her for more than ten years, I felt as if I had never seen her clearly. Suddenly, I felt a sense of strangeness.

He put out the cigarette in his hand, and exhaled the depression in his heart along with the white smoke in his mouth. It was as if he had put down a heavy burden, and his heavy chest felt lighter.

He chuckled, "Nothing, it's going to rain soon, go back."

After saying that, without waiting for Wen Li to answer, he opened the car door and got back in.

The car drove out quickly.

In less than a moment, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, hitting the car windows.

The cell phone rings.

Ji Zeqiu turned on the loudspeaker and answered the call.

The soft voice with a hint of coquettishness echoed in the car, "Didn't you finish your work? Why haven't you come back yet? I'm hungry."

For some reason, Ji Zeqiu felt much happier after hearing Lin Xu's voice. "If you're hungry, eat first. You don't have to wait for me."

"No, I don't want to eat today, I want to eat skewers!"

"How can you eat kebabs in broad daylight?"

"I don't care, you figure it out."

"..."

He didn't feel happy at all. It turned out to be his illusion just now!

Ji Zeqiu was extremely angry.

This woman always makes trouble for him in one way or another. Now he is regretting why he brought Lin Xu back.

It would be great if she could stay in the villa and torture Ji Tingyang.

Ji Zeqiu thought angrily.

However, when he returned to the apartment, he resigned himself to picking up a bag of skewers.

Before entering the door, he suddenly thought of something and changed the password of the apartment.
