286 Reprimanding
Ji Lingchen sized up his wife from head to toe. After confirming that she was fine, he looked into the room and asked, “Where’s Xiaoyu?”
Fang Xiaonuan exited the room and closed the door. “Hubby, Xiaoyu is taking a bath. It’s not appropriate for you to come in.”
Ji Lingchen nodded to show that he understood.
Fang Xiaonuan asked again, “Hubby, have you seen Xiaowen? He joined a drinking contest with someone before he jumped into the water to save Xiaoyu. He drank more than ten bottles!”
When Ji Lingchen arrived earlier to deliver the clothes, he had already smelled the strong smell of alcohol coming from his nephew’s body. He knew that his nephew had drunk a lot.
Fang Xiaonuan looked at the shocked faces of her classmates not far away. She pulled her husband’s hand and walked to them, meaning to introduce him. “Aren’t you all curious about who I’m married to? This is my husband, Ji Lingchen. Have you heard of him?”
How could they not have heard of him? In fact, everyone knew his name! They had not expected that Fang Xiaonuan’s husband was Ji Lingchen! No wonder Ji Wen had specially warned them that Fang Xiaonuan was already taken. Furthermore, they could not afford to offend that person. Who would dare to offend the king of the business world? They would be courting death!
Everyone’s gazes immediately shifted from the “ordinary” Fang Xiaonuan to Ji Lingchen, the great CEO Ji, who was hugging his wife.
In an instant, it was as if a thousand-pound hammer had struck everyone’s head, making them dizzy and unable to recover for a long time.
Fang Xiaonuan’s eyes flashed, and she noticed Yue Qi, who was avoiding her gaze. She immediately shouted at her husband, “Hubby, look at that guy in a bathrobe over there. Let me introduce him to you. He’s the young master of the Yue family, Yue Qi.”
Ji Lingchen’s sharp eyes swept over him, and the tension in the air made Yue Qi want to run away. He was the one who had just fought with his nephew!
Fang Xiaonuan continued. “Young Master Yue is very capable. Just now, he got Zhang Lian and Ji Wen to have a drinking contest. He even plotted with Li Shu to push Xiaoyu into the pool.”
Ji Lingchen chuckled darkly.
Yue Qi was so flustered that he stuttered. “C-CEO Ji, that has nothing to do with me. Fang Xiaonuan is wrong.”
Fang Xiaonuan looked at Yue Qi playfully, “What did I say wrong? Where’s Li Shu? do you want to drag him out for a confrontation? Don’t be embarrassed to admit the ‘good thing’ you’ve done. You were the one who sent Ji Wen and Siyu swimming in the winter. This is a good way to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It’s especially good for the body. We will definitely thank you properly!”
Ji Lingchen looked at the boy in front of him, who was panicking, and asked calmly, “Which Yue family? Which Li family?”
CEO Ji could not be bothered to talk to a group of students. At this age, only his wife in his arms could arouse his interest. Of course, he was not asking for no reason. Since he asked, he would definitely take action.
He could put aside the drinking contest with his nephew, but he would remember them for deliberately pushing his sister into the water!
Fang Xiaonuan quickly made a complaint, telling her husband the company names and even their addresses. She was just short of telling her husband Yue Qi’s and Li Shu’s home addresses.
Ji Lingchen nodded. He already knew what to do.
After a while, Liu Siyan also arrived. He was carrying his sister’s clothes. He knocked on the door. “Xiaoyu, I’m here. Open the door.”
Liu Siyu opened the door for her brother. She was wearing a bathrobe. She was out of breath from the hot bath just now, and her face was red.
After seeing Liu Siyan, she felt better. She threw herself into her brother’s arms and cried, “Brother, Li Shu pushed me into the pool on purpose. My clothes are all wet. I almost drowned and never saw you again. You have to take revenge for me!”
Liu Siyan patted his sister’s shoulder and tried to push her away, but Liu Siyu hugged him tightly and refused to let go. Her hands were wrapped around Liu Siyan’s waist, and her fingers were clasped together, locking her in place there.
Her biological brother could not take it anymore. His sister was hugging a man while wearing a bathrobe. He was unhappy!
Ji Lingchen walked over and, without a word, pulled Liu Siyu’s hands away.
Liu Siyu, who was in the middle of hugging her brother, did not see who pulled her away. She cursed. “Who the f*ck dares to separate my brother and…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she looked up and saw Ji Lingchen’s gloomy face. She immediately shut her mouth and swallowed half of her curses.
“Continue.” Ji Lingchen spoke like a parent.
Liu Siyu hunched her shoulders and quickly hid behind Liu Siyan, not daring to speak anymore.
“Who taught you to say that?” Ji Lingchen disdained to talk to students and was too lazy to even get angry, but when he heard his sister say all that, he could not help but reprimand her. He had already adapted to his identity as an elder brother.
