Chapter 264: Chapter 259: Past Life: His Inferiority Complex Carved into His Bones
"Get out, I need to change clothes."
"Huh?" Ji Tian looked at his frail appearance, puzzled. "Where are you going? Can you even move now?"
"I’m not dead yet." He said with a slightly mocking smile. "Aren’t we headed to the Capital City? The longer we delay in the Central Continent, the more dangerous it gets. Mo Jiu will turn the whole Central Continent upside down to find me."
Ji Tian walked to the door, confused. "Oh, okay... Call me if you need anything..."
The response she got was the sound of the door locking.
"..."
Was she that thirsty?!!
Was there really a need to lock the door?
Angry, utterly angry!
She decided to give him the cold shoulder for two hours.
It wasn’t until she boarded the plane to the Capital City that Ji Tian sighed, realizing the boy had hidden well. He left so openly and yet no one stopped him.
The plane landed at seven in the evening. Ji Tian looked at the meager assets in her account and broke her one-sided cold war line, "Qin Jiangsheng, let’s get a room, just one, I’m out of money."
Qin Jiangsheng: "..."
What does "get a room" mean, and why just one room?
He gave her a cold glance, and she awkwardly tugged at her lips, "Well... The Ji Family villa is no longer under our name. My brother and the others are living in a rental, which is too small and shabby for you to stay in..."
Qin Jiangsheng’s face was pale, and dizziness from a day of running around caused his head to spin. He pulled out his phone, and within ten minutes, a luxury car stopped in front of them.
"Young Master Qin, what brings you to the Capital City?" Qu Rong opened the car door from one side to let him in.
Seeing his weak appearance, Qu Rong knew this wasn’t the place to talk and said, "Get in quickly, I’ll take you to a safe place."
After they got in the car, it stopped at a villa by the sea.
"This is an asset under Young Master Qin’s own name, even Ninth Young Master doesn’t know about it. You can stay here peacefully, I’ll handle things outside."
The villa’s market value was also worth millions; indeed, his power in the underworld wasn’t small to be able to do something of this scale behind Mo Jiu’s back, and he had prepared an escape route long ago.
Once inside, Ji Tian turned on the lights and hurriedly followed Qin Jiangsheng into his room as he was about to retreat further, "Wait, let me change the dressing on your wound. You have such strong willpower, not screaming in pain all day."
Qin Jiangsheng sat down on the bed, and Ji Tian immediately began to undress him. Noticing his indifferent gaze, she sheepishly retracted her hand, "Please undress."
Qin Jiangsheng: "..."
Sometimes he really detested her.
But thinking about last night, his consciousness was half clear, half blurred, but he knew it was Ji Tian taking care of him all night.
In principle, this was his benefactor.
Those from the underworld, although lacking conscience, couldn’t help but feel a touch of reluctance to use her when looking into Ji Tian’s pure eyes.
Qin Jiangsheng had done countless bad deeds and couldn’t even keep track of his sins.
He was filthy, a man living in darkness – how could he be touched by light.
"Get out," his cold voice tinged with gloom.
"Huh?" Ji Tian didn’t catch on immediately.
"Get out!"
"..."
Ji Tian left the medicine by his side, "Okay, okay, I’ll go, don’t be angry."
For the sake of the Ji Family, she swallowed her pride!
But as she left, she still slammed his door hard to vent her dissatisfaction.
Then she insincerely apologized, "Sorry, the wind was too strong, blew the door shut."
Qin Jiangsheng: "..."
His anger suddenly subsided.
He didn’t know why he was angry, but later, when he wished for Ji Tian to have peace in all her lives, he understood.
It turned out his inferiority was etched deep into his bones.
...
The next day, Ji Tian woke up early; she couldn’t help it, she couldn’t sleep.
Her eldest brother’s company had collapsed, her second brother was disabled in his legs and had no money for treatment, and her third brother was estranged from the family over Shen Zhiyi and now roaming the streets.
Her parents were out seeking help from old friends and hadn’t sent any news either.
It could be said, when poor, relatives scatter, when rich, strangers gather.
Seeing Qin Jiangsheng come downstairs, she immediately greeted him, "You’re up? Have you changed your medicine? Does it still hurt?"
Qin Jiangsheng walked past her with a cold face.
Ji Tian puffed her cheeks, "Mr. Qin, don’t tell me you regret it? You agreed to cooperate with me on the surface but plan to stand me up!"
He turned and glanced at her, "What’s the rush? My wound hasn’t healed yet."
"..."
She deflated, sulking as she sat on the sofa, "Fine."
Qin Jiangsheng wanted to say something but hesitated; in the end, he noticed the thin blanket on the sofa, "Did you sleep on the sofa last night?"
Ji Tian nodded, her deer-like eyes puzzled, "Yeah, where else would I sleep?"
"There’s a guest room across from my room; clean it up and move in. Sleeping in the living room would make it seem like I’m not letting people stay in such a big house."
Ji Tian: "..."
She wanted to say she didn’t need to, but... Qin Jiangsheng had blocked her speech, so she had no choice but to tidy up the room. She didn’t plan to stay here long, but with Qin Jiangsheng inactive, she remained passive.
To help Qin Jiangsheng recover faster, she even studied cookbooks and earnestly learned how to make nutritious soups, progressing from completing a task to looking forward to his evaluation.
Ji Tian sat across from him, indicating the stewed pork trotter and chestnut soup with her eyes, "Try it, I’ve been learning for a week, it must taste better than the first time, right?"
Qin Jiangsheng eating with her every day was a kind of torture. During this week with nothing to do, she explored the cookbooks, and he became the guinea pig in the kitchen war.
"Try it," Ji Tian urged, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
He wanted to refuse, but every time he was defeated by such a look, he would taste a little.
Almost spat it out, he swallowed down expressionlessly, "Let’s start the plan tomorrow. First, the Ji Family has been acquired by Bai Tingyu, there’s no point in getting it back, but I assure you your family won’t be left in dire straits and your second brother will get his leg treated."
"If I successfully acquire the Bai Family’s power, you will have no share in the benefits."
Ji Tian nodded hurriedly, "Fine, fine, fine, I don’t want anything, I just want Bai Tingyu to never recover."
Qin Jiangsheng frowned, somewhat surprised that Ji Tian didn’t want even a slice of the spoil.
"Come on, eat more, you need energy, right?"
"..."
He stared hard at the bowl of soup, which also contained a small piece of meat.
"Doesn’t it taste good?" Ji Tian’s eyes held some disappointment.
Qin Jiangsheng, with a cold face, took a sip and nearly spat it out, swallowing with difficulty, "I’m full, you eat slowly."
Ji Tian smelled it, decided to leave it for Qin Jiangsheng to have the next day~
The most common sound she heard at night was him walking from the bedroom to the living room to drink water.
Back and forth, no less than ten times.
