Chapter 374 - The CEO Ji who fell in love is a fool.
“Hello.”
Ji Ziming frowned and then rushed out of the conference room to pick up the call.
“Boss, I’ve uncovered what Pei Ge’s mother was diagnosed with.” A rough voice came through the phone.
“What is it?” He inexplicably thought of that woman’s crying face and felt worried.
“It is…” the man paused for a while before reporting, “gastric cancer.”
He was stunned when he heard this.
“Gastric cancer?” he asked with uncertainty.
Ke ke… Indeed, this was her good second uncle…
Her eyes involuntarily turned watery as her heart felt very heavy.
Right now, all she could do was ignore her mother’s words and interrogate her second uncle properly. He cheated them off 1,000,000 yuan, so why could he not even loan her 200,000 yuan in return?!
Was it really as Tang Xiaoyu had once said? Had her relatives never really regarded them as family?
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
“Forget it; forget it. I won’t think about it anymore…” She stretched her palms out and covered her eyes lightly.
It was as her mother had said; this one million paid off all their debts and was the price to cut off all relations. In the future, they would have no interactions with them anymore.
From here on, they would be nothing but strangers to one another.
Be it her second uncle or her cousin, she would no longer have any contact or feelings for them.
One million was enough to show someone’s true colors. This might be an expensive price for them to pay, but, as her mother had said, it was all worth it.
She drifted off into dreamland while pondering on this.
However, as her mind was riddled with confusing thoughts, she did not sleep well that night.
She was visited by the worst nightmares until dawn.
In them, it was either her second uncle’s cunning face or her cousin’s vicious face that was looking at her with a smug smile…
While her sleep time was uneasy and restless, a particular CEO’s awake time was rather peaceful and pleasant.
Ji Ziming looked satisfactorily at the contract prepared by his lawyers.
“Now… This should do.” Holding the A4-size contract, his lips curled into a rare smile as his eyes pored over it.
This time, he believed that that dumb woman would have no way of escaping his grasp!
“Ke!” Setting aside the contract, he picked up a glass and elegantly took a sip of the wine in it; his face looked satisfied.
If he looked in the mirror right now, he would see how silly his current expression was.
Mu Heng would definitely tell him that as well if he were to see him now.
There was a saying that when a woman fell in love, she would become a fool, but for their respectable CEO who had fallen in love, while he had the wisdom, he was still a fool.
What a pity that Mu Heng was not around to witness someone’s silly look of satisfaction.
