Once the words were spoken, a few people in the private room finally felt a bit embarrassed. One by one, they sat down with him. The youngest, Xia Zhichu, the son of the mayor, was the first to speak: "You’re still the best, Third Brother. But Third Brother, have you resolved your issue yet?"
Xia Zhichu admired him quite a bit, especially after his own father resigned. Only he didn’t look down on him and still treated him as a brother, which made him give even more respect.
Upon hearing the question, the man nodded lightly and then looked at Ji Chengzhi: "Weren’t we going to drink? Go ask the waiter to bring some wine."
Ji Chengzhi heard this and went to call the waiter to bring the wine.
He understood him, although they were brothers, it wasn’t to that extent.
He went to call for the wine, worried that those two might still pester the man in the private room with questions, so he also called over a few of the girls from this leisure club to keep those two company.
With the girls and the wine arriving together, the atmosphere in the private room indeed became lively. And those two idiots, upon seeing the wine and the women, reacted as if injected with adrenaline, pouncing over eagerly.
Ji Chengzhi felt quite helpless watching them. Then he noticed the man sitting on the sofa was not responding much; he was still holding his phone and looking at it, so he went over.
"What have you been looking at all night?"
"..." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
He moved quickly, and the man didn’t have time to react before he saw some of the images on the phone. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
It turned out to be a video, and the place in the video seemed to be his apartment.
What’s so interesting about his apartment? He lives there every day; could he possibly see anything new?
Before the phone was taken away, Ji Chengzhi quickly took another glance, only to discover that aside from his apartment in the video, there were two figures, one big, one small, seemingly doing something in his kitchen.
That larger figure, wasn’t it... wasn’t it...?
Ji Chengzhi opened his mouth wide, looking at this man in disbelief: "You guys... reconciled?"
The man, who was looking at the phone, immediately pressed the screen off with displeasure: "No!"
"Then why is she at your place?"
"Why can’t she be at my place?"
No, that’s not what he meant, okay? What he meant was... given how things were between them, how could she possibly still be going to his place?
Could it be that she doesn’t care at all?
Ji Chengzhi was a bit puzzled: "That’s not what I meant. I mean, did she agree to get back together with you? Does she not care about that thing anymore?"
Not too keen on talking to him, the man set down his phone and picked up the glass of wine on the table.
Of course, she wouldn’t agree to get back together with him. She made it clear that it’s impossible for the two of them to be together; they didn’t have a choice.
However, not being able to be together doesn’t mean they can’t see each other, can’t have a meal together, can’t... raise that child together!
A shadow of sadness flitted across the man’s eyes. He downed the wine in his hand in one gulp, stood up, and said, "I should go; you stay and hang out with those two for a bit longer."
"Something happened at the kindergarten entrance today, the manor might contact you later. Just ignore it when the time comes." He said this as he was leaving.
Ji Chengzhi was stunned!
Something happened at the kindergarten entrance? What happened?
