Chapter 2324: A dead end

Why are you asking me this? If not for Ji Ziming, li fengnian would have directly hung up the call.

i think somethings not right with my mother recently. I suspect that someone is trying to spread rumors around her. Even if the man wanted to find out more, he would have to give a reason first.

Li fengnian had also heard about the rivalry between Gu Heng and Ji Ziming, but he was not sure what it was exactly. Now that the man mentioned it, he came to a realization.

No wonder Madam would lose her temper every time you came back! If theres really such a vile person whos trying to sow discord between the two of you, I wont cover up for him. Speaking of which, Madam doesnt seem to have many new friends recently. You also know that Madam has a fixed circle of friends and doesnt make friends with just anyone. Speaking of special things, other than inviting a lady home alone as a guest, there doesnt seem to be anything else. Li fengnian was still quite concerned about the matters of the main family. He could quickly figure out that a stranger had suddenly appeared beside Gu Yu, who had always been in a fixed circle.

Then do you still remember what that girl looked like? Ji Zimings intuition told him that this person was the one who had been up to no good.

I dont really remember what he looks like. I only remember that his hair is quite long and his skin isnt very white. He should be quite good-looking. This had happened a week or two ago, and he really couldnt remember what she looked like.

Is that so? Where did they usually meet? If I have the chance, Ill go over and see if I can recognize him.

I know about this. The two of them often meet at the club and department stores. They meet at the hanmei club and those large department stores that Madam likes to go to. The driver might be unfamiliar with human faces, but he was still very sensitive to addresses.

Thank you, uncle li. I understand. You must keep this a secret from my mother. Ill tell her myself when the time comes. He did not forget to remind her to keep it a secret.

Alright, he said.

Ji Ziming had already made a preliminary guess about the lady whom li fengnian had been getting close to Gu Heng recently. He believed that this person was very likely du Qinglan, who had disappeared into thin air in City z.

He decided to investigate further before deciding whether it was true or not.

Ji Ziming immediately hired a private detective to camp near the clubhouse and shopping mall based on what li fengnian had just said.

Very quickly, she got the latest photo. The woman sitting with Gu mo at the caf by the window, wasnt that du Qinglan who had disappeared for a while?

With du Qinglan playing tricks behind the scenes, things would be tricky. It was no wonder Gu Yu had such an att.i.tude before.

He could only think of another way now.

Ji Ziming, who was still being avoided by her, could only go to the company to block people. In the middle of the night, he parked his car below her office building and waited bitterly. He watched as people walked past the companys entrance one after another, but he remained seated even when she was not there.

PEI GE walked out of the office and looked up at the dark blue sky. She rubbed her sore neck and, in the blink of an eye, a Wall of Flesh appeared in front of her.

Youve been working overtime these past few days?

PEI GE slowly lowered her hand from the back of her neck and lightly hummed in acknowledgment.

Youre busy with work, so you wont pick up my calls? He looked at her, asking the obvious.

She could not tell if he was helping her find an excuse or if he really thought so. After a moment of silence, she finally said,Yes.

Then when are you not busy with work? When do you plan to answer my call? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?

She was confused by his series of questions, but she was already feeling guilty about this matter, so she was the one who avoided him first.

However, even if he could hide, he couldnt hide forever. He was still blocked.

I just havent decided yet. Her voice was weak and pitiful.

Ji Ziming had intended to mock her at first, but he could not bear to do so now. Sighing, he reached out his hand.Lets go, Ill take you to have supper.

Only then did she raise her head to look at him carefully. Tactfully, she extended her hand and held his hand.

Do you have time tomorrow? Ji Ziming looked at the woman, who was eating wonton, and clearly spoke very little today.

I have to rush to work tomorrow.

What about the day after tomorrow?

Im free this Sunday. Ill have to rush the design drafts on hand these few days. She had a deep understanding of his stubbornness, so she directly told him when her rest day was.

Okay, Ill pick you up on Sunday. I have something important to tell you. He lowered his head after saying that.

What is it? PEI GE was still very curious. Even though she knew that she should hide her tail and act honest, she still could not help but ask.

Youll know when the time comes. Hurry up and eat. Its getting late and its so cold. Its more important to go home and rest. He was being mean to her.

Oh. PEI GE did not seem to have much interest in it, but she was actually looking forward to it. The two of them had finally met after so many days, and absence makes the heart grow fonder, yet he seemed to be despising her now.

Sensing that she was not in the mood, he casually asked,Yun Simin has moved out. Do you want to come back and stay?

Ah? PEI GE did not expect Yun Simin to leave even faster than she came. She was very happy to see her move out of Ji Zimings apartment, but she did not want to show it. Lowering her head to eat a wonton, she hid her smile.Oh.

Pretending not to notice her small action, he asked,So, are you going to move in or not?

No, I won t. Seeing that the mans face was about to change, she quickly explained,Im busy with work these two days and dont have time. Lets talk after Im done with work.

Well, thats good. Ji Ziming had his own plans, so he naturally did not force her.

On Sunday, PEI GE remembered that Ji Ziming had said that he was coming to pick her up. Guessing that he was preparing for a date, she dressed up early in the morning and quietly waited for his arrival.

Ji Ziming, who was already prepared, picked up his car keys and went to pick up PEI GE.

There was no one else in the Ji familys house. When she opened the door and saw that she was alone, she asked,Morning.

Have you had breakfast?

Not yet, PEI GE blushed a little. She had been busy picking out her clothes and dressing up the entire morning, so she had not come out of her room when everyone was having breakfast. Everyone in the family thought that she was still asleep and did not call her for breakfast.

Lets go. I brought some for you. Its in the car. Ji Ziming thought that she would sleep for a long time today and miss breakfast. When he opened the door and saw her neatly dressed, he thought that he had wasted his hair, but it turned out to be useful.
