When she stood up, the man took her arm and pulled it down hard. He pressed Jessica to sit down and said, "You can leave after you finish eating."His face was dark and gloomy.There were new guests in the restaurant, who were surprised to see this scene.The woman refused to eat it, as if the steak was poisonous, but the man insisted on eating it, as if he were forcing her to eat it.Jessica did not want to attract attention, so she forced herself to eat a few pieces. The man looked at her and asked, "Tell me what's wrong with your throat?"Jessica's hand tightened, which was holding a fork, and she said calmly, "It's none of your business."Hearing this answer, Blake 's heart was filled with anger. He sneered and said in a low voice, "It's none of my business. Does it have anything to do with that wild man?""Do you need me to remind you? What's your relationship with me?"Jessica's lips pursed tightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him. The smell of gunpowder came from
Returning to Xiang Yuan, Thomas sat in the living room in a black suit and was still dealing with official business. Pearl ran in from outside. When she saw him, she smiled and crawled into his arms and on his legs.Thomas stopped working and let Pearl sat on his lap with his arms. He stroked her soft hair and asked, "Did you go out with Mom?"The little girl smiled, revealing her white rice teeth, and said in a childish voice, "Yes..."Jessica parked her car and came in later. When she saw Thomas was already dressed, her face darkened.She said, "Why did you go there so early? Didn't the fete tomorrow?"Thomas said, "The servants of the old mansion called to say that the old master was not feeling well. I plan to go there in the afternoon and accompany him."Jessica frowned. Tomorrow was the anniversary of Qi Lingchong and his wife's death.People's greatest sadness was losing their children in old age. Qi Haipeng's son, whom he had raised wholeheartedly, had died young. The ol
Jessica said, "That's not the case. He suddenly asked about how my throat was cured."She didn't want to say anything else.Thomas had always been frank with her. As an equal, Jessica did not want to hide it from him.Thomas had a good temper, but she didn't want to make trouble for Blake."He asked about your throat?" Thomas's eyebrows furrowed. "He knows about you?"Jessica shook her head and said, "I don't know. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me. But since I can suddenly speak, he must have an idea."In addition to Blake, there should be many people who wanted to know.However, the difference between them was that in the eyes of many people, she was a model of endless inspiration. Through her continuous pursuit, she found a cure method, or luck, and went out for a trip and met a master. In Blake 's eyes, he focused on the root of the problem.Thomas's breath became a little heavier. He picked up his chopsticks and asked, "Did you tell him that?""No..." Jessica shook her
"Alright, alright. Now you're called 'Pearl'." Qi Haipeng walked over and picked up his granddaughter. He turned to Thomas and said seriously, "Didn't I tell you to bring her in tomorrow?"Thomas handed over the things in his hands to his servants and said, "The housekeeper called to say that you were not feeling well, so we came in advance."The sun was shining in the afternoon, so they sat down in the yard. The servant brought hot tea over. Pearl was energetic and ran around on the lawn. Old Master stared at the child with a relieved expression on his face.He sighed and said, "It was lucky that Lingcong saved the child, otherwise..." He shook his head and said, "The bloodline of the Qis was completely gone..."It was dangerous that year. The child was raised in the nursery until she was mature. She was in poor health and was sent to the hospital every 2 or 3 days. The whole family was worried that the child would die.But the child was raised, the living person had gone...The
His mother said that she hoped that he would give him a family. He did not let him go out, and he was still the Second Young Master of the Qis.In fact, there was nothing to complain about.Jessica looked at the father and son who had really let go of the past, smiled and said, "There is still Pearl, isn't there? With Pearl, the bloodline of Qis can still be maintained."When Pearl heard Jessica mention her name, she opened her big eyes and looked over. She did not know what they were talking about and just giggled."Come here." Jessica waved at her. The little girl stepped on the soft lawn and stumbled over. Qi Haipeng said to slow down.In the evening, after dinner, Jessica sat in the living room and watched cartoons with Pearl in her arms.Jessica's mind was a little unsettled, and she was wondering how she could tell Thomas that she was going to live in Xiang Yuan.With her current identity, it was impossible for her to live in the Qis' old mansion. Who knew that Old Master
Thomas rested his elbows on his knees and remained silent. Qi Haipeng glanced at him and felt that something was wrong."Tell me about it." Qi Haipeng went to retrieve the box of cigarettes. He had only just held it in his hand when Thomas stopped him.He stared at the TV in front of him, but he didn't see anything. His expression became colder. He said, "Blake used some means to restore his marriage with Jessica.""Hmm?" Qi Haipeng frowned. "When did it happen?""Three years ago, when Jessica left North City.""Humph, in the past, in order to compete with you for the inheritance rights of the Fergusons, Blake even abandoned his wife. I thought he was the same as Robert. Now, he wants to take her back by force. What does he mean?"Naturally, Qi Haipeng didn't want Blake to interfere in this matter which was a foregone conclusion.Pearl wanted a whole home, so they couldn't just be torn down like this.He looked at Thomas and said with a sullen face, "Why didn't you tell me when
Jessica thought for a moment and said, "In fact, I don't know how to ask in detail. Why don't you tell me how much you still remember about my parents? I want to know."Qi Haipeng thought for a while and said, "I don't have a deep relationship with Su Mingdong, and I don't know much about him. But Su Mingdong was a well-known person in the past. Among the old circle people in North City, he was one of them. But after a few years, I don't know what happened, and he often lost investment. In the end..."He sighed. Su Mingdong had died from jumping off a building, and his death could be considered a tragic one. However, his son, who was not good-for-nothing, was the one who had caused Jessica's fall.Jessica frowned. The Sus used to be prosperous. She still remembered that the antiques and paintings of the Sus were put casually when she was a child. Any painting on the wall was worth millions of yuan. If the Sus had no power and influence, they would not have hired so many teachers for
Su Mingdong's way of doing things was a little strange. They were not on the same path. Furthermore, the Sus and Qis did not have business dealings, so the two family did not interact much. If it wasn't for his reputation within the industry, he wouldn't even know about it.At this time, the servants had prepared the food. Thomas patted the back of Jessica's hand and said, "Eat first, and think about the rest later."Jessica nodded, "That's the only way."On the way back after dinner, Jessica was thinking about the information she got from Qi Haipeng.The lights on the car roof were on. Taking advantage of the time, Jessica wrote down all the details on her notebook and stared at the messages in a daze.Pearl sat on her lap and wanted to grab her notebook out of curiosity, but Jessica did not stop her. The little girl, like a reader, point the words on the notebook and babbled.When the car passed the slowing belt, it was slightly bumpy, and Jessica's body was also bumpy. Pearl's
