The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 729、He is heartless and inconsiderate (2)

"Brother Yisheng, this restaurant is quite famous around here. Try the food, and if you don’t like it, I can order something else for you," Jennifer said with a smile, setting the cutlery in place.

Jiang Yisheng looked at the table full of food, a dark line forming at his temple.

Had she ordered every signature dish from the restaurant?

"I’m not hungry. Just eat by yourself," he said, his tone distant. "Thank you for coming to visit me, but I have people here to look after me, so there’s no need for you to go out of your way to help."

At his words, Jennifer’s face turned slightly pale.

The cup in her hand almost slipped from her grasp.

"It’s no trouble at all. I don’t have anything else to do, so I can take care of you," she said, forcing a smile.

Jiang Yisheng was even more direct, "I appreciate your kindness, but please, you should go."

Jennifer’s eyes reddened, and she looked on the verge of tears. "Brother Yisheng, do you have someone you like?"

That’s why he wouldn’t give her even the slightest chance.

Jiang Yisheng remained silent.

To Jennifer, this reaction was tantamount to an admission.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Brother Yisheng, who is the person you like? Do I know her?"

Even if she was to lose, she wanted to know who she was losing to.

Jiang Yisheng still did not speak.

"Where am I lacking compared to the one you like?" Jennifer cried, her makeup running and her voice breaking with sobs.

Jiang Yisheng looked up at her, his pale lips barely parting, his voice very soft, "The one I like..."

He liked her, and so she was perfect in every way.

It was just as simple as that.

Jennifer froze, her face stained with tears.

"You..."

After a moment, she found her voice again, "Have you decided that she’s the one you want to be with for the rest of your life?

If not, did she still have a chance?

Jiang Yisheng nodded slightly, almost without hesitation.

The determination in his eyes was like a needle to Jennifer’s heart. She grabbed her bag from the sofa and bolted out the door.

Jiang Yisheng didn’t move, watching the door that had been blown shut by the wind, his hand reaching up to touch the pendant around his neck.

For a lifetime?

Perhaps.

Jiang Yisheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, the smile tinged with bitterness.

Not long after, the door was opened from the outside.

It was Ji Mingqian returning.

As soon as he closed the door, he started to interrogate, "I saw Jennifer running out crying. What did you do to her?"

Jiang Yisheng remained quiet, his eyebrows lowered.

"Jiang Yisheng, why don’t you say anything? Tell me, did you play the scoundrel with her?" Ji Mingqian moved quickly to stand in front of him and pressed for an answer.

Play the scoundrel?

Jiang Yisheng lowered his head, rolling his eyes.

As his silence continued, Ji Mingqian inexplicably grew frustrated, his tone becoming sharp, "Is that what happened or not?"

Finally annoyed, Jiang Yisheng snapped back, "What’s it to you?"

Who did he think he was to control him in every aspect?

"You can’t play the scoundrel," said Ji Mingqian.

"And why can’t I?"

"Because I said you can’t," Ji Mingqian responded.

His voice rising, Jiang Yisheng argued heatedly, his face turning red, "Why do you get to order me around, who are you to me?"

The temperature in the room dropped to freezing as soon as the words were out. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ji Mingqian fixed his gaze on him, and after a long moment, he tossed the bag in his hand onto the table, "Whatever, do as you please."

With that, he turned and walked out of the ward.

A slam echoed behind him.

"Bang––"

Jiang Yisheng calmed his emotions and let his gaze fall on the paper bag on the table; he bent down, reached out, and took the bag.

Opening it, he found only a transparent box inside.

The bright red fruits were coated with sugar and heaped together.

They were sugar-coated haws.

Jiang Yisheng’s eyes heated up, and a sour swell filled his chest.

So he really had taken his words to heart.

On the other side.

After leaving the hospital, Ji Mingqian went straight back to Chu Chen’s place.

Not early or late, he just happened to arrive at lunchtime.

"You dog, with such a keen nose, you always show up just as we’re about to eat," Chu Chen teased as he opened the door for him.

Ji Mingqian’s face soured, his body radiating an air of displeasure.

As the two walked to the dining room, Chu Chen noticed his mood was off and curiously asked, "What’s wrong, who has messed with you?"

"Who else but Jiang Yisheng, that heartless fellow," Ji Mingqian said, his voice anything but gentle, full of suppressed anger.

His unmoderated voice was overheard by Li Mochan, who just happened to hear everything quite clearly.

He put down his chopsticks and reached for a glass of wine, taking a light sip.

Entering the dining room, Ji Mingqian saw the people sitting at the dining table and looked astonished, "Why are you still here?"

"If you’re here, why can’t we be here?" Ye Jiuliang joked, sipping his soup unhurriedly.

Before he could react, Li Mochan’s clear voice followed closely, "How is Asheng heartless?"

They locked eyes.

Ji Mingqian saw a hint of murderous intent in his gaze.

For a moment, he faltered.

Then, remembering the words Jiang Yisheng had hurled at him, Ji Mingqian became angry again, his confidence instantly bolstered.

"He just is heartless."

Li Mochan’s eyes narrowed dangerously, sparks flying as their gazes met in the air, a silent tension brewing.

Sensing trouble, Ye Jiuliang placed his hand on Li Mochan’s, his gaze puzzled as he looked at Ji Mingqian, "Aqian, speak sensibly, did you and Asheng have a quarrel?"

Wasn’t he at the hospital taking care of Asheng? Why had he returned in such a bad mood?

Could it be that they had fought again?

But that shouldn’t be, as they had been getting along well that morning. What on earth was this all about?

Ji Mingqian scoffed, "Who’s quarreled with him? From now on, Jiang Yisheng’s business is none of my concern."

Gu Xinuo and Chu Chen exchanged glances, totally baffled.

It was clear; Aqian was genuinely upset.

But what exactly had Yisheng done to anger Aqian to such an extent?

Suddenly, Li Mochan stood up.

Ye Jiuliang also looked surprised.

"Mochan."

Li Mochan touched her head with his hand and said gently, "Finish your soup before it cools, you keep eating."

Ye Jiuliang blinked, her expression blank.

What was happening?

"Ji Mingqian, let’s talk," Li Mochan said as he left his seat and walked towards the living room.

Ji Mingqian snorted dismissively and followed him out.

Once they were gone, Gu Xinuo finally spoke up, "Ajiu, what’s going on? It almost feels like they are about to go out and fight or something."

Ye Jiuliang shook his head, tearing into a chicken leg, "Don’t know."

Llet them fight if they must, they can both take a punch.

If Aqian is back, then who is taking care of Asheng?

"Ajiu, shouldn’t you give Yisheng a call?" Chu Chen asked.

Ye Jiuliang laughed nonchalantly, "Let them be, they’ll calm down soon enough. A little row is good for the health."

Chu Chen was speechless, "..."

She must be crazy.

After the rain, the weather had become uncomfortably muggy.

Ji Mingqian kicked at small stones on the grass, venting his frustration.

"So, talk. What about?"

The person in front suddenly turned around, his gaze deep as he looked at him, "Ji Mingqian, did you just say Asheng is heartless?"
