Chapter 737: Who Dares to Make Him Wait?
Ji Weitian looked at her emotionlessly, not even bothering to play along.
She simply turned her head and called out, "Dad."
"Good that you’re back," Ji Mofeng replied with the authority of the family patriarch.
He then instructed the butler to have the kitchen prepare more dishes, before inviting Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian to sit down.
Just as Ji Weitian was about to step forward, she noticed Qin Nanyu holding her hand, standing firm.
She paused briefly, glanced at him, not understanding what he meant.
Wasn’t it his own suggestion to visit the Ji Family and meet the parents?
Now that he was here, was he really planning to disrespect his father-in-law by standing and talking?
"Can you still eat?" Qin Nanyu met her puzzled gaze and gently parted his lips.
It was then that Ji Weitian remembered that they had already eaten breakfast before leaving and were quite full.
Speaking of which, when she had just gotten up, feeling sleep-deprived and groggy, she had no appetite for breakfast. Qin Nanyu insisted that she eat her fill before leaving, even threatening to feed her himself...
Frightened, Ji Weitian hurriedly picked up her breakfast and stuffed herself.
Now, she wondered if he had anticipated that the Ji Family would be dining at this time, fearing that seeing the people from the Ji Family might affect her appetite, so he made sure she was well-fed before leaving?
That was really thoughtful.
At least, Ji Weitan was quite appreciative of him now.
Dealing with Ji Mofeng was one thing, but having to sit down in faux maternal and filial harmony with Su Sumei like the others would probably make her nauseous.
"I’m full," Ji Weitian caught on to his hint and cooperated by responding.
Upon hearing this, Qin Nanyu finally made a move.
He looked up at Ji Mofeng, his expression calm and unreadable, "President Ji, please take your time eating. Weitian and I will wait for you in the living room."
Then, holding Ji Weitian’s hand, he turned and left the dining room to sit on the living room sofa.
If it were someone else, Ji Mofeng might have been able to keep his composure and finish his breakfast before meeting the guest.
But the person waiting outside was Qin Nanyu!
With the current situation of the Ji Family, a single word from Qin Nanyu could plunge the Ji Family’s business into a new crisis.
Without a second thought, Ji Mofeng set down his chopsticks, stood up, and followed them into the living room.
Even Ji Mofeng couldn’t eat another bite, so how could Su Sumei dare to stay at the table? Tugging at Ji Kaisui, she also hurried out of the room.
"Mom, Ji Weitian is clearly bringing Young Master Yu here to show off. Why should we go out and let them humiliate us? Just because she looks somewhat good and is willing to be a stepmother to Young Master Yu’s child, what’s so great about that?"
Ji Kaisui hadn’t finished eating yet, and seeing Su Sumei asking her to follow, she complained with dissatisfaction.
Su Sumei immediately glared at her, "You also have some beauty, why couldn’t you hook Young Master Yu? If you were a bit more capable, would I need to strategize for you? Let me tell you, if your father really sides with Ji Weitian, forget about getting your share of the Ji Family’s wealth, even your pampered young lady lifestyle is coming to an end, still focusing only on eating!"
"Mom, you can’t seriously think that Young Master Yu would marry her, right? How could the Qin Family allow a woman like Ji Weitian to enter their family?"
In Ji Kaisui’s view, Qin Nanyu breaking up with Ji Weitian was just a matter of time!
