Chapter 917
Ji Chengzhi saw this and tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Surprised, aren’t you? But this is the final way to resolve the hatred between you two. It’s not by your hand, and you don’t have to lift that knife yourself. Let the law judge him. Isn’t that the best solution?"
Ye Ning shivered violently for a moment, and finally, she nodded heavily: "Mm!"
Indeed, this really was the best solution. Only in this way, she wouldn’t become another Ou Qichang, and there wouldn’t be any more barriers between them.
"But unfortunately, that old man went back on his word. Otherwise, what you would have seen today would truly be the scene of his engagement with that woman."
Ye Ning: "..."
Sitting there, she remained dazed for a long, long time before slowly raising her head to look at him: "You’re saying... he didn’t go to the engagement today because the old man didn’t keep his promise?"
Ji Chengzhi sneered: "What else do you think? Do you think he did it for you? He’s a person who controls the big picture. Once he decided to do this thing, he would definitely do it."
Ye Ning was stunned...
No, that’s not it. He did it for her. If not for her, he wouldn’t have gone to get engaged to that woman. If not for her, he wouldn’t put his life on the line.
Ye Ning shook her head vigorously: "You’re wrong. He did it for me. He did it so I wouldn’t personally kill his father, so I wouldn’t become a second murderer. That’s why he did it."
Ji Chengzhi was stunned!
This woman was quite perceptive to have thought of this layer.
So he didn’t speak anymore, just sat there leisurely drinking tea.
Of course, while drinking tea, his eyes occasionally glanced at the girl sitting on the couch.
But he saw that after telling her this, as she sat there, she seemed somewhat neurotic. Various expressions appeared on her face, and her eyes seemed to have a turbulent undercurrent, as if something was rolling over in her mind.
What was she thinking?
Ji Chengzhi began to regret telling her all this.
Feeling uneasy, he suddenly saw this woman stand up: "I’m going back!"
Ji Chengzhi was stunned: "You’re leaving? You..."
He originally wanted to say, don’t you want to know where he is?
But at this moment, the woman was already heading towards the door, and then, under his astonished gaze, she opened the door and just walked out...
Is she crazy?
Just left like that?
Ji Chengzhi almost choked himself as a piece of tea was stuck in his throat.
He finally managed to swallow the tea and made a call: "Hello? That woman of yours just came looking for me."
"And then?"
My god, the person on the other end of the phone wasn’t surprised at all. Calmly as if he had foreseen this.
Ji Chengzhi got angry: "Then she asked me where you are, and since you told me not to tell her before, I didn’t. So I told her that you didn’t want to see her, and also told her that you really intended to go to the engagement."
"..."
In that instant, it felt as though a chill traversed through the phone, and as the "zzz" sounds echoed, Ji Chengzhi felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand.
"Did... did I say something I shouldn’t have?"
"What do you think?"
