Chapter 298

"A-Zhi! Why is she here?"

"Hmph! She is more qualified to be here than you." Ji Jie had one hand in his pocket and the other embracing He Lele. "Zhixiu, are you going to continue listening to people bossing you around here, or are you coming back with us?"

Qin Zhixiu immediately got up from the vanity table he was leaning on and walked toward Ji Jie.

"Qin Zhixiu, stop! You are not allowed to go!"

"Weiwei, the new car has already been delivered, the customized orange version. You can pick it up anytime. If there's nothing else, go back early. The medicine for Uncle Du has already been sent by someone. If you need anything else, call me again."

"You!" Qin Zhixiu's indifferent attitude made Du Wei extremely irritable. "Buying medicine and having someone else send it over—my dad treated you so well for nothing! If you still know how to be grateful, you should go back with me tonight!"

"Weiwei! Little Xiu has already gone to accompany you for several days, and he has his own things to do. Don't be so willful." Du Mei couldn't stand it and scolded her tactfully.

"I'm willful? I'm doing this for his own good! He's been dull since he was a child! Now that he finally has some money, I'm afraid he'll be foolishly deceived by some pretentious, lewd, and cheap woman!" Du Wei glanced at He Lele, full of displeasure.

"Who are you calling a lewd and cheap woman?" Ji Jie released He Lele, his eyes sharp as he bore down on Du Wei.

Du Wei shrank back, but hardened her temper and replied, "You know who it is in your heart! I'm just afraid there are still some people who deceive themselves and others, treating cheap goods as treasures! He Lele, you are so shameless, hooking up with so many men outside—do your parents know?"

"You—" A slap was raised high.

"Ji Jie!" He Lele shouted.

Ji Jie gritted his teeth and retracted his hand angrily. Just as he was about to say something to Qin Zhixiu, he heard He Lele laugh unusually frivolously.

"Heh... yeah, since you know I'm good at hooking up with men and being pretentious, why are you still bossing him around like this?" He Lele walked to Qin Zhixiu's side with a smile, gently stroking his chest, touching his body as if she were helping him tidy his clothes. "Don't you know that if you treat a man like this, he can easily be stolen away by someone else?"

Ji Jie gazed at her rare, gentle, and charming appearance, his heartbeat accelerating beyond measure.

"You! A-Zhi!"

"Be gentle!" He Lele taught him softly. "If you really don't know how to cherish him, I'll steal him away anytime!"

Du Wei's face changed drastically. She rushed up, hugged Qin Zhixiu's arm, and dragged him to the side. "You! A-Zhi! Look! This is her true face! Tell her to leave! I don't want to see her! You are not allowed to see her again in the future!"

He Lele shook her head and turned toward the door.

"Wait!" Qin Zhixiu, who had been silent, finally spoke. Pulling his arm from Du Wei's grasp, a soft smile bloomed on his white, jade-like face. "Without me, Red Bean will make so much noise you won't be able to sleep."

"A-Zhi?"

"Lele, can you guys go out and wait for me for a moment?"

Ji Jie and He Lele exchanged a look and walked out one after another. Before long, Qin Zhixiu also opened the door and walked out, smiling easily at the two of them. "Let's go, Red Bean must be hungry."

"... Hmm." He Lele returned the smile. As long as he was happy, she didn't care what Du Wei was like.

Ji Jie paused his steps and looked back into the room—Du Wei's face was ashen.

"Qin! Zhi! Xiu!"

The moment the elevator door closed, Du Wei's exasperated scream came through.

"What did you say to Du Wei?" Ji Jie asked.

"... Nothing."

Ji Jie raised his eyebrows. "I don't care who Du Wei is to you, this is the last time. If she dares to speak rudely to Lele again, I guarantee she won't have a foothold in this circle!"

"Ji Jie..."

"It won't happen again." Qin Zhixiu replied.

"By the way, who did you learn that look from just now? Hmm?" Ji Jie lifted He Lele's chin, teasing her.

He Lele rolled her eyes at him. "I learned it from you, Little Ji-Ji!"

"Li, Little Ji-Ji?"

"Pfft..." Qin Zhixiu burst out laughing.

"Who are you calling Little Ji-Ji? Huh? Who are you calling Little Ji-Ji?"

"Ah! Don't, don't mess around! Haha... Xiu! Save me!"

The three of them made a scene in the narrow elevator, and only stopped when someone else came in on another floor.

Reporters and fans had already been led away by assistant managers and makeup artists. He Lele and the other two, along with the bodyguard who was silently following, went straight to the underground parking lot. But as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw a crowd of photographers carrying cameras and reporters holding microphones pouring out of the adjacent elevator, scaring the three-plus-one into retreating back into the elevator immediately.

"Quick, quick, quick! Da Rong× Hotel! Call Little Sun over! Nonsense! Of course, bring the camera! Seeing Ruan Lin and the Memory heir are fighting! Do you want the headline or not! Quick! I'll go to the hotel first, tell him to come find me directly when he arrives!" A reporter with a camera hanging around his neck was running while talking on the phone.

Seeing Ruan Lin?

Ji Jie took out his phone, but Seeing Ruan Lin, Wu Ming, and Seeing Ruan Lin's assistant, who also had the surname Zhou, couldn't be reached. "You guys go back first, I'll go take a look."
