Chapter 37 - 37: Engagement Party (2): I Don’t Need A Reason To Pamper My Wife



The back garden of the hotel.

Ji Baijian was not looking very happy.

Song Zhizhi did not pay him any mind. She was deep in thought. The milk was such a good way to feed the drug to her father; why would Nie Wenzhi not choose that method? Was the woman really that cautious? She made sure not to leave even a single trail of evidence behind?

“I think your family may have encountered a really formidable enemy,” Ji Baijian told her bluntly, “Who could be the mastermind behind the scenes laying down this scheme? It’s so meticulous as well…”

Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian. She wanted to hear what he had to say. However, he merely shrugged his shoulders and said, “There’s no way I’d know. ”

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

Who the hell… was it?!

The only thing that she knew for sure was that it must be someone from the financial sector too. But there were so many notable figures involved in the financial sector in the entire Yanshang country. To investigate them and rule them out one by one was not a matter that could be done in a day or two.

“But finding out isn’t as difficult as you think,” Ji Baijian seems to have guessed what Song Zhizhi was thinking, “Whoever wants to sit in the highest position in the end will be the greatest suspect. Why not wait and see for now.”

“My father’s health can’t wait!” Song Zhizhi was a little angry, “You know the danger of this drug. Am I supposed to just let it spread in my father’s body?!”

“Investigate what other dietary habits your father has apart from the milk. The drug is definitely not inside the three main meals or everyone in your family will be poisoned too. I don’t think Nie Wenzhi is ready to die together with your father,” Ji Baijian reminded her, “The only thing you have to pay attention to is your father’s personal habits.”

“But I really can’t think of anything other than milk.”

“Don’t limit yourself to just the food he consumes at home. There are other places too, like his office. Does he have any habits?” said Ji Baijian, “But more importantly, don’t refrain from investigating someone just because you think you can trust them. Oftentimes, the ones you trust the most will hurt you the most.”

“This is something I can speak from experience,” Song Zhizhi sneered.

If she had not been so gullible, she would never have ended up in such a miserable state in her previous life.

A familiar voice broke the sudden silence, ” Here you are!”

Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian turned around and saw Yin Qin in formal attire. Although he usually had a rather lively personality, he was still a very elegant gentry, but in a different way to Ji Baijian. Ji Baijian looked calmer and more dignified, more aristocratic. He gave off an elusive vibe that was inexplicably attractive.

Song Zhizhi’s pupils shook slightly.

Why should she care about how Ji Baijian looked.

“Am I interrupting your date?” Seeing that neither of them spoke, Yin Qin asked timidly.

“No,” Song Zhizhi’s answer was blunt, “With a person who wouldn’t know romance if it hits him in the face, what date could there be?”

“Wouldn’t know romance if it hits him in the face?” Yin Qin laughed, “An apt description.”

Song Zhizhi also grinned.

Ji Baijian looked indifferent to their ridicule.

“By the way, did you enjoy what happened just now?” Yin Qin asked.

“What?”

“The question that the reporter asked Yi Wenhan,” Yin Qin reminded her.

Song Zhizhi suddenly realized, “You arranged that?”

“Not me,” Yin Qin glanced at Ji Baijian.

Song Zhizhi turned to look at Ji Baijian with a face full of disbelief.

She had always felt that Ji Baijian would show a completely indifferent attitude to non-crucial matters. He simply did not care for trivial victories like that.

“It’s him,” Yin Qin confirmed.

“But why?”

“Does he need a reason to pamper his wife?” Yin Qin said, full of envy.

Song Zhizhi blushed a little from Yin Qin’s remark.

She did not feel that Ji Baijian was the kind of person who would pamper her, but the suddenness of the situation still made blood rush to her face.

“Don’t think too much of it,” said Ji Baijian. “I couldn’t help you find out who spread the news previously, so this is a little compensation.”

“In that case, this compensation is too small,” Song Zhizhi was speechless.

The corners of Ji Baijian’s mouth seemed to curled up for a moment. She ignored Song Zhizhi and said to Yin Qin, “Come with me for a moment.”

Yin Qin followed after Ji Baijian. The two of them left.

Song Zhizhi stared at their backs…

Wasn’t he supposed to pamper his wife?

How could he just leave his wife behind like this?

Song Zhizhi told herself not to mind it. If she was upset at everything Ji Baijian did, she would soon die of anger.

She got up and went back to the banquet hall.

Her eyes wandered around. Song Zhizhi knew a lot of the people there, but was familiar with very few of them. She did not socialize much in the past; in fact, she hated socializing. But from now on, she would start anew.

She took a glass of red wine from the waiter, then wandered among the crowd leisurely to greet the important figures there. Everyone was surprised by how proactive she was, but it it was a pleasant surprise because of her status. Song Zhizhi instantly became the center of attention, glowing brightly.

Everyone noticed her.

Nie Xiaofei was indignant, “Look at Song Zhizhi, scurrying around like a butterfly.”

At that moment, Nie Wenzhi was just done accompanying Song Shan in socializing. Song Shan was chatting with some old friends and it was not convenient for her to be present, so she excused herself to come to the side of her children. When she heard Nie Xiaofei, she said coldly, “Song Zhizhi has indeed changed.”

“What exactly is she trying to do?” Nie Xiaofei was not pleased.

“Trying to pull strings, trying to be seen, trying not to be controlled,” Nie

Wenzhi said slowly, “From now on, don’t treat the current Song Zhizhi as the

Song Zhizhi from before. This woman is trouble.”

“Then what can we do?” Nie Xiaofei asked, “I tried to trip Song Zhizhi just now to make a fool of her, but Wenhan actually helped her.”

“What do you Imow,” Nie Xiaofei’s face darkened, “I was the one who told Wenhan to continue to treat Song Zhizhi kindly. Until the moment we reveal ourselves, both of you behave yourselves, lest Song Zhizhi suspect us for the “accident”. No matter what, you have to make peace with Song Zhizhi, even if it’s just on the surface. She’s the eldest daughter of the Song family and Song Shan’s favorite. Do not offend her!”

Nie Xiaofei pouted.

Yi Wenhan was actually feeling really irritated too. “I can still talk myself into coaxing Song Zhizhi, but acting affectionate with Xiaofei? I can’t do it. No matter what, we’re still…”

“Shut up!” Nie Wenzhi turned serious, “You are what I say you are! If I say you’re lovers, then you become lovers!”

When Yi Wenhan saw Nie Wenzhi getting angry, he swallowed his words and said no more.

Nie Xiaofei also did not dare utter another word.

On the other side of the hall, Ji Baijian and Yin Qin were drinking together in a corner. They had just went to congratulate today’s main character, Mu Cidian. Because Mu Cidian and Yin Qin were neighbors when they were kids, they were old friends, so Ji Baijian took the opportunity to get to know Mu Cidian too.

“Your wife sure is sociable. You can see that at least half of the men in the room have their eyes on her,” Yin Qin sipped his wine and joked.

Ji Baijian also sipped his but said nothing.

Yin Qin continued, “To be honest, Song Zhizhi is absolutely gorgeous. She has a pretty face and a nice figure. Before this, I was so perplexed as to why she would fall in love with a poor man who has nothing going for him. Fortunately, she came back to her senses and to you.”

Ji Baijian’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You think it’s because she came back to her senses?”

Yin Qin contemplated it, then shook his head, “Actually, no, it’s falling into your embrace that is like falling into a thousand-mile abyss.”

Ji Baijian placed his wine glass on the tray of a waiter passing by in front of him. He left without saying anything else.

Yin Qin stared at his back.

Hopefully, he was wrong..
