Chapter 83 Guess who I just met?
Ji's Bullfrog Hot Pot Restaurant.
Although the store has been resold, the new owner saw good sales in the store, so he did not plan to renovate and re-list it, and continued to use the previous staff and management model.
Even Uncle Ji didn't leave, but his current identity was changed to that of a worker, and it was still free.
Therefore, he is relatively free in the store. When there are many guests, I am responsible for greeting them.
Shu Yan didn't ask Ji Lingchuan to come with her, and only went in alone to carry some condolences.
The moment Uncle Ji saw her, he was shocked at first!
If you look closely, you will find that she is a real person!
"Xiao Shu, are you okay?"
Uncle Ji held her shoulders in surprise and looked up and down.
Shu Yan handed the things to him, "I'm fine."
Uncle Ji's eyes turned red with excitement, "Great! Great! I thought..."
Shu Yan booked a private room, and she also made an appointment with He Jieying and Lin Jiasi.
But she deliberately came an hour early so that she could have time to chat with Uncle Ji alone.
"Let Uncle Ji worry about me. All this was arranged by Ji Lingchuan in order to lure the enemy out. I'm sorry that I didn't say hello to Uncle Ji beforehand, but I didn't know about it until later."
Uncle Ji didn't blame her after hearing this, he just patted her gently and said, "It's okay, as long as you are safe, that's fine!"
"By the way, Uncle Ji, I heard about Mr. Ji." Shu Yan didn't want to waste time, so he went straight to the topic after the pleasantries.
Uncle Ji's face instantly darkened, then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.
"Xiao Shu, my Minghao is not worthy of you. Mr. Ji told me his rescue plan, and I think it is feasible. Moreover, I also agree that when Minghao is rescued, I will let you two get a divorce! Anyway, you are already There is no relationship, and we have never even met before marriage. Compared to Mr. Ji, Minghao is really far behind."
But Shu Yan held Uncle Ji's hand and said, "Uncle Ji, I came here just to tell you that I want to pay the ransom on your behalf."
"What?" Uncle Ji's eyes widened, "Xiao Shu, don't be kidding! That place is not a place you, a girl, can go! There are many dangers there, and it is also the border of the Three Kingdoms and an unregulated land! How can you go? Besides, it’s impossible for Mr. Ji to agree to your going!”
But Shu Yan insisted, "Uncle Ji, listen to me! I asked Ji Lingchuan for help from the beginning, and I had already agreed with Ji Lingchuan that after he brought Mr. Ji back, we would divorce Mr. Ji. Yes. I'm sorry for Mr. Ji first, and I was unfaithful to our marriage first. This has nothing to do with whether we had feelings before marriage or whether we met each other. If I am worthy of him, I am not worthy of him. Because I bear the responsibility of my father. Tens of millions of foreign debts. And there is no need for you to help my father bear these."
Uncle Ji looked at her solemnly, said nothing, and kept smoking quietly.
Shu Yan continued: "The relationship between Ji Lingchuan and I is very complicated now. Although he is very good to me now, with his identity, I will always be hidden in the dark and cannot be with him openly. He will be with me in the future. I can do nothing but bless and understand whoever gets married, and which group’s daughter gets married. But this is not the life I want, do you understand?”
Hearing this, concern flashed through Uncle Ji's eyes again, "Xiao Shu, Uncle Ji believes that many of your current situations are due to coercion. If my brat hadn't gone astray, you wouldn't have tried to please Mr. Ji. In the end, we also made mistakes, so you don’t have to take all the responsibility on yourself.”
"No!" Shu Yan shook his head, "I'm not taking responsibility, I'm just trying to save myself!"
"Rescue?" Uncle Ji didn't understand.
"Yes, I want my freedom back and no longer want to be controlled by others." Shu Yan lowered his eyes and then briefly explained how Ji Lingchuan obtained his death certificate and how he borrowed another person's identity to survive. Read it again.
"I don't want to be his pawn anymore. I can't imagine what I will be like in the future if I continue to have such a relationship with him."
After finishing one cigarette, Uncle Ji stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand and lit another one.
"Then what are you going to do? You go there to pay the ransom on my behalf. There is someone from Mr. Ji over there. Doesn't he know? You can't hide it!"
Shu Yan said with certainty: "As long as you agree, I can find someone to help me get out of the country smoothly. Besides, didn't Ji Lingchuan say that his people are very reliable? I believe they will protect me and won't put me in danger."
"Who can help you?" Uncle Ji asked tentatively.
Shu Yan concentrated, "Ji Lingchuan's mother, Mrs. Ji - Hua Wanshi. As long as Uncle Ji is willing to let me go for you, I believe Mrs. Ji will definitely be willing to help me."
The time for conversation passed quickly. An hour later, Lin Jia Si arrived, followed closely by He Jieying.
But she looked excited and kept holding Shu Yan's hand, "School beauty! Guess who I just met?"
Shu Yan didn't understand, "Who?"
Linjiasi also looked over curiously.
"My boss!" He Jieying's eyes were shining brightly, with a look of nymphomaniac on her face, "It's better to see than to hear a hundred times. He is indeed the one who can be called the 'peerless duo' with Mr. Ji of your family! He is the eldest son of the Su family. Young Master——Su Jinye!"
"What, Mr. Su is here?" As the former owner of a hot pot restaurant, Uncle Ji has naturally heard of Su Jinye's reputation. In Jiangcheng, the one closest to the Ji family in fame and reputation is the Su family.
Lin Jiasi is also quite familiar with Su Jinye, "The first choice for the Ji family's daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Su family, Su Yan's sister Su Yan. By the way, her name sounds very similar to yours, Xiaoyan!" If you don’t listen carefully, or if someone speaks with a lisp, you won’t be able to hear the difference at all.”
"No way!" He Jieying seemed to have heard the gossip, and suddenly her mind opened up, "Is it possible that Mr. Ji pays too much attention to our school beauty because of Miss Su? Is she as beautiful as our school beauty?"
He Jieying didn't understand some of the things that happened in wealthy families, which were not particularly popular.
Lin Jiasi said: "She wasn't pretty, and she looked nothing like Su Jinye, but she was a nice person. Unfortunately, her life was too short. She died in a car accident more than three months ago."
Shu Yan remembered that Ji Lingchuan had also said this. As soon as he and Miss Su received the certificate, Miss Su had an accident.
"Ah! That's so tragic! No wonder I didn't see Boss Su anywhere on the day that Mr. Ji and your sister got engaged. It turned out to be because there had just been a funeral at home, so I couldn't come." He Jieying sighed softly.
There is a custom in Jiangcheng: if your family has just held a funeral recently, and if someone else’s family has a happy event, you cannot attend it. This will be unlucky.
Engagement is inherently a happy event, so Su Jinye will naturally not violate any taboos.
However, it is quite rare for him to appear here.
It seems that Ji's Bullfrog Hot Pot Restaurant is already well-known in this area, otherwise it would not attract such a big shot.
"Everyone, please wait. Since Mr. Su is here, I should go and say hello. I'll treat you to today's meal, and you all can eat slowly. Xiao Shu, let's keep in touch!" Uncle Ji quickly stood up and gave them another gift After eating a few side dishes, he turned and left the box.
Coincidentally, Su Jinye's box was right next to theirs, with only a wall in between.
