When he saw Chu Ji covering Ye Ranran’s mouth, a flash of murderous intent crossed his eyes.
"What is this Chu Ji planning?" One mused pensively.
Because of the building collapse, the Wen Family was bombed by Jun Mochan, successfully disassociating them from the incident.
Even without Jun Mochan’s intervention, they could have cleared their names eventually. But his involvement made the process smoother.
Chu Ji, who lacked a powerful background and connections, bore the brunt of the pressure during this period, bombarded from all sides.
The primary pressure was from the top brass and the threats from the Wen Family.
"Who is the card up Wen Family’s sleeve in threatening him?" Jun Mochan asked, his voice clear and measured, yet authoritative.
"His elderly mother."
Chu Ji’s father died when he was very young, and he was raised single-handedly by his mother. He’s extremely filial and naturally cares about his mother a lot.
"However, he is tough. He hasn’t agreed to anything yet. But why is he getting close to the lady now?" One is quite bewildered.
Interested in the lady? Impossible, previously, he had no interaction with her.
Love at first sight, seems too far-fetched.
Among people like them, emotions are scarce. Jun Mochan fell in love with Ye Ranran because of their shared childhood memories.
"Ranran is Mo Han’s weak spot. If you grasp hold of Ranran, you naturally grab Mo Han’s weak spot. I think, he wants to make a move in this direction." Zhou Xian’s clear and frank voice came over the phone.
One finally understands, "You mean, he is trying to start with the lady, looking for evidence to overthrow or threaten the young master, and thereby control the Wen Family?"
"Your brain finally seems to be working faster than usual." Zhou Xian teases him.
One didn’t respond to his ridicule, he always preferred words to actions.
Jun Mochan remained silent, just watching the video with a very stern expression.
"Young Master, shall we..."
"There is no need for now, just keep an eye on him, don’t let him lay a hand on Ranran."
He is curious to see what Chu Ji can really do.
Originally, Ye Ranran was waiting for Jun Mochan to finish work together. But on the way, she was informed that he had something to do in the evening and would be late. So, Ye Ranran went back by herself.
So, when Jun Mochan got home, Ye Ranran was sitting in the living room, watching television.
Jun Mochan raised his eyebrows, "Why are you waiting here today?"
Usually, she waits for him in their room.
Of course, Ye Ranran wouldn’t tell him that she was hoping to see that annoying man on TV.
Just as she was about to make up an excuse, a familiar voice came from the TV drama.
"I assure everyone, none of the issues you’re concerned about will happen again..."
"That’s him," Ye Ranran pointed to the television.
"His name is Chu Ji, the mayor of A City."
Indeed, he presents a picture of splendor, but his character leaves much to be desired.
"He’s the mayor? Underhanded devil." Ye Ranran scoffed.
"This can’t be a coincidence. Stay away from him when you see him in the future. Don’t let him take advantage of you again."
Thinking of Chu Ji embracing her today, Jun Mochan felt sour all over his body.
"Yes, from now on, as soon as I see him, I’ll run away immediately. Is that okay?" Ye Ranran linked her arm through his.
"Sure, You are free these days, come with me to City B." His grandfather has been urging him on the phone. There are some matters to attend to, he must go back.
"Okay, when are we going?"
So soon? Ranran mumbled, "You are here to inform me, not to discuss with me, right?"
