Qiao Nian dodged the hand she stretched out by moving back slightly, and gave her a warning look: "Try to stretch out that hand again?"
That look was extremely cold.
The cold gaze made Ji Ziyin subconsciously freeze.
Qiao Nian picked up the drawing board in front of her, and bumped her shoulder before leaving. He said provocatively, "I stole the things. You want them? Sure, you and the person behind you can grab them!"
Ji Ziyin staggered after being knocked back to her feet. She turned around abruptly, staring angrily at the back of the girl who walked away arrogantly, and whispered angrily: "Who do you think you've offended? Qiao Nian, you'll regret it! You won't be able to be so arrogant for two days!"
The girl didn't even turn her head, as if her warning was nonsense and had no deterrent effect at all.
Ji Zinyin watched her walk to the side of the road, open the car door and get in.
I saw the car start in front of me, and it quickly drove forward and disappeared from my sight...
Veins bulged on her forehead and her pretty face flushed red. It took her a long time to recover and her heart wasn't beating as fast anymore.
She pinched her palms expressionlessly and walked into the cafe.
…
She and Qiao Nian only argued outside for a few minutes.
The people in the cafe didn't notice the brief confrontation outside.
Lu Yiming finished the coffee he ordered and just stood up to call the waiter to pay the bill.
Who knew that I would see a woman rushing in from the door.
"Sir, the total is 103 yuan." The waiter took out his own QR code and asked, "Excuse me, are you scanning the code to pay?" Seeing Ji Ziyin coming over, Lu Yiming calmly scanned the code to pay, and then said to the waiter, "Please give me another glass of water."
The waiter looked at him in surprise and responded, "Yes, sir."
When I turned around, I saw a beautiful woman coming in with an angry look on her face.
Ji Ziyin's eyes were cold, and when he saw her, he just said calmly: "Give me a glass of Blue Mountain."
"Okay, okay." The waiter imagined for a moment that it was some emotional entanglement and quickly slipped away.
Soon coffee and water came up.
Ji Ziyin stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, and raised her eyes after a long while: "Why did you give the painting to her? You knew that I had a bad relationship with her."
These words imply complaints, misunderstandings, and even... blame!
Lu Yiming heard the blame in her tone and was distracted for a moment, but then he couldn't help laughing when he came to his senses: "Did you run into Miss Qiao?"
Ji Ziyin was furious at his smile, but she just nodded coldly: "I chatted with her for a few words."
She still couldn't swallow this breath: "Why did you give the painting to her? Lei Lao's people should have looked for you! You should know that I really need that painting. You didn't answer my phone calls or reply to my messages since last night... If I hadn't gone directly to your house to find you in the morning, and Madam Lu hadn't told me that you were here, I wouldn't have known you were at home!"
"Because I don't want to be used by you." Lu Yiming held the glass with both hands. Compared with her excitement, he seemed very calm.
Ji Ziyin was filled with dissatisfaction and was touched by this sentence. She raised her head instinctively, but her eyes were evasive and guilty: "You, what do you mean?"
Lu Yiming stopped talking without being a gentleman. “It means exactly what it says.”
Ji Ziyin frowned fiercely, but still said perfunctorily with disgust: "I didn't use you, but the painting is very important to me. We have known each other since childhood, and at least we are close friends. Even if you don't help me, you shouldn't help her. You and her are not even friends, why do you take the risk of offending the hidden family for her."
