NOVEL WEB Chapter 24 Where is your husband?
During lunch, Ji Lingchuan did not eat with them in the restaurant because he had an impromptu meeting.
After Shu Yan finished his meal, Sister-in-law Yu took him to the guest room on the second floor.
"Teacher Shu, Mr. Ji's room is on the third floor. Do you want to go find him now?" Sister-in-law Yu pointed to the elevator leading to the third floor.
Shu Yan waved his hand, "No need for now, isn't he in a meeting? I can go later."
"Okay. Then take a good rest, Teacher Shu!"
Sister-in-law Yu said and left.
Shu Yan pushed open the door of the guest room. The guest room was not small at all, and at least it had a separate bathroom.
She went in to wash her face and found that there was a terrace in the room, so she walked to the terrace.
The terrace faces the garden, and when the wind blows, the faint fragrance of flowers hits your face.
Shu Yan took a deep breath, and instantly felt like entering a sea of flowers in a valley.
"I understand, just explain it like this."
Suddenly, she heard someone calling on the upper right. She turned around and found that Ji Lingchuan was facing her.
When he noticed her looking at him, he hung up the phone and hooked his hand towards her, gesturing for her to come up.
Shu Yan was so embarrassed. She had no idea that the terrace of his room faced the same direction as hers.
Fortunately, she didn't do anything exaggerated just now.
Arriving at the door of the room, Shu Yan found that his door was not closed.
I knocked twice and walked in, but saw no one.
But the sound of water coming from the room suggested that he was taking a shower at this time.
She looked around the room with some boredom and saw many exquisite figurines on the cabinets against the wall. Out of curiosity, she stopped to admire them for a long time.
Among them is a book that looks very chronological and is placed on the top shelf of the cabinet.
She didn't know what it was, so she stood on tiptoes and reached out to take it out and take a look.
But she's still not tall enough.
After struggling for a few seconds, she simply lifted the skirt up and placed one leg directly across the protruding counter under the standing cabinet.
Just as she was about to stand up with some strength, a source of heat suddenly came from behind her, a tall figure pressed over her, and she was instantly trapped by a pair of powerful arms.
He raised his head suddenly and saw Ji Lingchuan's handsome face dripping with water. He was only wearing a thin silk nightgown, loosely opened in front, revealing his bright and sexy muscle lines.
She was startled and wanted to get off the counter quickly.
But he had no intention of getting out of the way. If she just stood back on the ground, her body would almost be pressed against his!
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to come down, and she was in a dilemma if she didn't come down.
Even more embarrassing...
Ji Lingchuan looked her over, frowned and asked, "What do you want to get? You have the courage to climb on the cabinet! Do you know how much the things on this cabinet are worth?"
Shu Yan was caught red-handed, so he naturally felt guilty.
She lowered her head, "Yes, I'm sorry... I know the things on it are valuable, but I feel that this cabinet is quite stable, and I will be very careful not to knock them off... Actually, I... I just want to take a look. What is that booklet..."
Ji Lingchuan raised his eyes and saw the notebook she was talking about. He reached out and took it down easily, "This?"
She nodded repeatedly and was about to reach out to pick it up, but missed it.
"Looking through the host's things without permission and climbing on the furniture. Is this the way Jiang University teaches you how to be a guest?" He put the book behind his back and wouldn't let her touch it.
Shu Yan knew he was wrong and didn't dare to worry anymore, so he climbed down from the counter.
However, as if on purpose, the man only moved a little when she pushed him, without leaving much room.
She pushed again, but didn't push, and then looked up at him again.
His eyes lowered and fell on her still red and swollen lips.
The broken skin has healed a lot, but the mark can still be seen.
Noticing what he was looking at, she subconsciously lowered her head to avoid it, but he raised it again with her index finger.
"Are you really allergic to alcohol?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Well..." She blushed and looked away.
"Sorry." He said two words softly, but she was shocked.
He was actually apologizing to her!
Was he apologizing because he kissed her, or because he kissed her while drunk?
She didn't know whether to say it was okay or not, so she froze.
Fortunately, Ji Lingchuan let go of his hand at this time and handed her the booklet she wanted to read.
When she saw the cover, she had no reaction.
But when she opened the inner pages and saw some scrawled and dense handwriting inside, she was so excited that she almost screamed!
"This is actually a manuscript by the Austrian composer Mahler! This... is this authentic?" Shu Yan couldn't believe it!
Such a precious thing was placed on the cabinet at will by him!
"Over four million pounds, what do you think?"
Ji Lingchuan sneered, took out two bottles of juice from the tea cabinet on the side, handed one to her, and then turned to sit at the small round table on the terrace.
Shu Yan was stunned!
She couldn't figure out how much it was worth, but she knew it was already a sky-high price to her!
Millions of pounds just to buy a manuscript. If she had the money, she could let her father out.
The more she thought about it, the hotter she felt. She didn't even dare to turn a few more pages and just returned the book to him.
"Thank you for the pleasure of meeting me!"
Seeing her cautious look, Ji Lingchuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Sit." He pointed to the empty seat beside him.
Shu Yan sat down and looked at the guava juice in his hand, so he took a small sip.
There is a large shade shed on the top of the terrace, which is covered with blue and purple morning glories, giving people the feel of an ancient rural courtyard.
Shu Yan originally thought that he would directly talk to her about the sparring fee, but without thinking, he asked her about her personal life.
"Teacher Shu needs money very much now? Seeing as you have done so many part-time jobs, your internship salary is obviously higher than many others."
Shu Yan was not used to being called that by him.
"Well...I do need money now. Because my father...he has a lot of debt."
"How much do you owe?"
"...Guarantee...maybe 30 million..." This is only the amount awarded by the court that she currently knows, as well as the interest. She doesn't know whether it will continue to increase in the future.
"Your father was in business before?" Ji Lingchuan picked up the juice and took a sip.
"Well, I opened a company with two factories, both producing daily necessities. But the scale is small, and it doesn't rank at all in Jiangcheng."
Her answer was completely consistent with the investigation results given to him by He Zhou.
There was only one thing, he didn't let He Zhou continue to investigate.
But it happened that I became curious at this moment.
"Where is your husband? Still a student?"
Shu Yan was stunned, as if he didn't expect that he would know that she was married!
But then she thought about it, when she signed the internship agreement, there was a column on the document that said marital status. She was actually hesitant to write "no" at that time. After all, she already knew that Mr. Ji regretted the marriage.
However, after careful consideration, she filled in the "yes" truthfully.
Because even if she gets divorced later, her marital status can only be marked as "divorced", and she is not qualified to fill in "no".
And Ji Lingchuan is the president of Ji's, so it is normal for him to see her information.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally shook her head, "No. He runs a hotpot restaurant. Actually, he and I..."
Before he finished speaking, Shu Yan felt something fall from the sky and fall on him.
Looking down, she was so frightened that her face turned pale!
"Ah! It's a caterpillar!"
