Chapter 97: Ji Qingyue

Upon arriving at the hotel, Rong Ci remained expressionless as she watched the Lin and Sun families walking toward them.

Yu Moxun cursed under his breath, "Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road."

The Lin and Sun families, however, were delighted to see Yu Moxun.

Lin Lihai smiled, "Mr. Yu, we meet again."

Yu Moxun's smile was faint, "Indeed, we meet again."

Lin Lihai smiled, "Since we've run into each other, why not join us?"

Lin Lihai had wanted to invite Yu Moxun to dinner when he called him earlier; now that they had bumped into each other, he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity.

Yu Moxun said, "No, thank you. This is my private time. Let's do it another time."

"This... very well, then another time."

Since Yu Moxun had put it that way, Lin Lihai found it difficult to insist.

Yu Moxun nodded and said to Rong Ci, "Let's go."

Rong Ci nodded, and without sparing another glance at the Lin and Sun families, she went upstairs with him.

Watching the backs of Rong Ci and Yu Moxun as they left, Lin Lilan frowned, "I heard from Xiao Wu that Yu Moxun's attitude toward her has always been lukewarm because of Rong Ci. With this Changmo project, could Yu Moxun refuse to consider cooperating with us because of her?"

Given Yu Moxun's cold attitude toward them, that was indeed a possibility.

Sun Yueqing said calmly, "There is still some time before the bidding for these two Changmo projects. Nothing is set in stone yet, so anything is possible."

Sun Manshan also smiled, "Indeed. Previously, the matter between Xiao Wu and Tingshen made no progress due to the obstruction from Old Lady Feng's side, but hasn't it suddenly taken a turn for the better now? So, let's not lose heart; there is definitely still a chance."

The "turn for the better" Sun Manshan spoke of was, in fact, the divorce between Feng Tingshen and Rong Ci.

Speaking of this, Old Lady Sun was in high spirits.

They and Xiao Wu had originally known nothing about this matter.

It was only when Qi Yuming mentioned it to Xiao Wu inadvertently that they found out.

Later, they learned that the divorce papers couldn't be processed that quickly, and Feng Tingshen didn't want Xiao Wu to worry about it, intending to tell her only after he had obtained the papers, which would be a surprise for her.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Sun smiled, "Tingshen had always wanted a divorce. Now that Xiao Wu has been injured saving him, he is determined to divorce Rong Ci despite Old Lady Feng's opposition. Tingshen is truly devoted enough to Xiao Wu."

"Indeed. It was worth the wait for Xiao Wu; her good days are about to come."

"Yes."

Sun Yueqing, Lin Lihai, and the others also revealed smiles upon hearing this.

However, looking at the direction Rong Ci and Yu Moxun had just left, Old Lady Sun's smile suddenly faded a little, "That girl Rong Ci surely won't be willing to divorce. This marriage... could it be that it won't end in divorce after all?"

Sun Yueqing's eyes were cold as she said, "I heard from Xiao Wu that Tingshen can basically make his own decisions regarding his affairs. He didn't divorce earlier just because he wanted to find a good opportunity and didn't want to hurt Old Lady Feng's heart. Tingshen has always had eyes only for Xiao Wu. Now that Xiao Wu almost lost her life saving him, Tingshen went to divorce Rong Ci without a word, which shows he no longer wants to let Xiao Wu suffer grievances because of Old Lady Feng. He has already made up his mind, so the success rate of this divorce is very high."

"I naturally don't doubt Tingshen's side," Old Lady Sun said calmly, "I'm just afraid that the girl Rong Ci might pull some tricks to force Tingshen to compromise."

Having said this, she told Old Lady Lin and Lin Lihai, "I'm afraid you will still have to go and have a talk with her about this."

Lin Lihai and Old Lady Lin were thinking the same thing.

Rong Ci and Yu Moxun were unaware of what the Lin and Sun families were thinking.

As they stepped out of the elevator and were about to head to their private room, three tall figures walked toward them.

Seeing those three, Yu Moxun: "..."

Did he fail to check the almanac before going out today?

Why does he keep running into such unpleasant things?

Rong Ci glanced at them.

Ren Jifeng, Yao Xinbo, and one more...

He looked a bit familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had seen him.

Upon seeing Yu Moxun and Rong Ci, the three of them took the initiative to greet Yu Moxun.

"Young Master Yu, what a coincidence?"

Yu Moxun's smile didn't reach his eyes, "... It is quite a coincidence."

Ren Jifeng had called Yu Moxun this afternoon, also wanting to invite him to dinner to discuss cooperation matters.

But he had been rejected by Yu Moxun.

Now that they had bumped into each other, he basically ignored Rong Ci and said, "Since we've run into each other, why not join us?"

Yao Xinbo also smiled, "Yes, come to think of it, we haven't eaten together in a long time."

"No, thank you," Yu Moxun smiled, "I have something to attend to, it's not very convenient."

After speaking, he looked at the other person, "Young Master Ji, how do you have time today?"

There was no expression on Ji Qingyue's handsome face, "I'm on a few days of leave."

Yu Moxun nodded. He didn't want to chat with them any further and said, "Let's do dinner another time. We have things to do, so we'll head in first."

Ji Qingyue nodded.

Yu Moxun and Rong Ci entered the private room first.

After walking some distance away, Ji Qingyue spoke up, "Which one of you offended him?"

Although Yu Moxun hadn't made it very obvious, his posture clearly showed he didn't want to deal with them.

Yao Xinbo was confused, "I don't think so."

Ren Jifeng frowned and said nothing.

Once inside the private room, Yao Xinbo took a sip of tea and said, "I have to say, Yu Moxun is really quite capable. If those two projects are truly successful, his net worth will skyrocket."

Ji Qingyue said calmly, "He has been smart since he was a child, and the teacher he followed was Nan Zhizhi. The major he studied happened to hit the trend of the era, and his ability is outstanding, so it is only logical that he would achieve something."

Having said this, he glanced at Ren Jifeng, "I heard from Xinbo that you previously had a good impression of the girl by Yu Moxun's side, but you quickly shifted your affections to someone else. You shifted your affections, so be it, but why have you started to dislike her? Did she do something bad?"

Just now, Ren Jifeng hadn't even been willing to look Rong Ci in the eye.

His dislike was so obvious that it would be hard to ignore even if he wanted to.

Ren Jifeng couldn't bear to hear others mention how he had been stunned by Rong Ci's face and temperament back then.

He felt repulsed.

He frowned and said, "Can we not mention her? Let's order."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyue shrugged and changed the subject. ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
