Chapter 357: He Didn’t Believe That It Would Be Too Late to Kill Quan Jue Now.
“I told you before to get rid of Quan Jue completely. Only then can this be settled once and for all,” the person on the other end of the line said in a gloomy and ruthless tone.
Ye Yichen remained silent as his expression darkened further.
“The matter between you and Lu Xian can’t be concealed. Things like today will happen sooner or later. I’ve advised you previously to leave this place with her. Why did you have to stay here?” the person on the other end of the line continued, his tone becoming more and more dissatisfied.
“Of course I have a reason to stay here. Madam Quan, Quan Jue is back now. I hope you can be more careful. If this matter is exposed, it will be difficult for you to explain things to Quan Jingzhou. You must not forget that we are now on the same boat.” Ye Yichen hung up the phone after saying that.
The hand holding the phone tightened significantly, wanting nothing more than to crush it.
“Too late? Ha…” Ye Yichen scoffed.
He didn’t believe that it would be too late to kill Quan Jue now.
He couldn’t allow anyone to be more important to her than him.
…
007’s laboratory headquarters happened to be in Shang Jing.
Chi Jiao wanted to bring Quan Jue around her laboratory, but he received a call while they were having dinner.
Huo Chongjin had invited Quan Jue to attend a banquet with him tomorrow night. It was the birthday banquet of a big shot in Shang Jing, and many famous businessmen would be there.
He wanted to introduce Quan Jue to some business partners at the banquet.
Quan Jue agreed.
Then, he explained the situation to her in a simple manner.
Putting aside the fact that he couldn’t tell Chi Jiao about it, for the time being, he told her the rest truthfully.
Quan Jue wanted to personally build a business empire as a surprise for her.
Since it was a surprise, he would naturally have to hide certain things.
Chi Jiao tilted her head when she heard that. “Brother Quan, are you going to the Meng family’s banquet?”
Wasn’t that the family her god grandfather had asked her to visit?
The old master of the Meng family had a good relationship with her god grandfather.
Recently, something had happened to Old Master Meng’s health. The Meng family found a way to contact her god grandfather, hoping that he could make a comeback.
Due to his old age, Chi Jiao naturally did not allow her god grandfather to head to Shang Jing. She was also afraid that he would fall ill from exhaustion.
After all, he was already so old. No matter how well he took care of himself, his body couldn’t be compared to when he was young.
However, she couldn’t ignore the Meng family’s plea for help, so Chi Jiao decided to treat Old Master Meng herself.
She had planned to visit them tomorrow night, but she didn’t expect Quan Jue to say that he would also be going there.
Quan Jue picked up a napkin from the table and helped Chi Jiao wipe her mouth. “We can go wherever you want to bring me the day after tomorrow.”
Chi Jiao thought for a moment and nodded.
Sitting beside them, Chi Mingwei coughed harshly when he saw his small action.
Quan Jue glanced at him indifferently. Then, he picked up a piece of cooked mutton from the copper pot in front of him and placed it in Chi Jiao’s small bowl. “The mutton is cooked. Try it.”
Chi Jiao picked up the piece of meat and blew at it gently before putting it into her mouth.
It hadn’t been marinated and was cooked in soup stock. It tasted very delicious.
“How is it? Is it delicious?” Chi Mingwei asked with a smile.
He was brought to this restaurant by a business partner when he came to Shang Jing for a business trip.
At that time, he had decided that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely bring his daughter over to try it.
