Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 90 If you can’t find it, keep checking.
The servants in the Ji family have been extremely cautious in doing things recently, for fear of making the eldest lady angry if they do something wrong.

In the garden, several servants responsible for taking care of the flower beds and lawns gathered together and whispered.

"Do you feel like the eldest lady has changed? She used to be easy to get along with and rarely made things difficult for us migrant workers. Now whenever she is in a bad mood, she will find fault at home."

"No, I passed by the door of her room the day before yesterday and heard the sound of things being thrown inside. I don't know who provoked her again."

"Both sir and madam are sensible people. Why is the eldest lady not like them at all?"

"You must have been spoiled since you were little. Ever since the person in charge of the Xi family publicly denied the marriage, the eldest lady has had a bad temper and doesn't like anyone."

"It's a good thing I didn't marry someone like this, otherwise the family would be in a mess."

"Hush, I don't want to say this. If it reaches the ears of the eldest lady, I will be dead."

……

In the master bedroom upstairs, Ji Mingzhu was answering the phone with a very impatient expression, "I told you I don't have time, don't call me again!"

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes and said in a gloomy voice: "Miss Ji, you have to be trustworthy. How many times have you used this excuse to excuse me? Do I look stupid?"

Ji Mingzhu said irritably: "You didn't do what you promised me."

What face keeps haunting her?
Not only was Sang Yu unaffected, but the store's popularity actually expanded as a result. It was a complete loss of his wife and soldiers.

"How do I know Aurelia will cooperate with her." Xu Liang still hasn't figured out what went wrong. It stands to reason that Aurelia and Chu Jin should be in a competitive relationship, so how can they cooperate together?
"Apart from anything else, I was punished by my family for helping you. You didn't lose anything. Now that you're done with it, I want to kick you away?"

Ji Mingzhu endured it, thinking that one more thing would be better than one less thing, and was about to send him away, "I can give you a sum of money to compensate..."

Xu Liang interrupted her, "Do you think I am short of money? Miss Ji is the number one socialite in Hong Kong. If the outside world knows that you have another side..."

Ji Mingzhu was furious, "You threaten me!"

Xu Liang sneered, "You were the first to burn the bridge. I recorded our previous conversations. If you don't keep your promise, you will bear the consequences."

Ji Mingzhu's pupils shrank, her finger joints were clenched so hard that they turned white, and her nails sank into her palms.

"Miss Ji, I'll wait for you at the old place." He hung up the phone after saying these words.

There was fire in Ji Mingzhu's chest, and the phone fell out of her hand, hitting the ground with a bang, and the screen cracked.

Her breathing was up and down, and she sat on the end of the bed with a pale face.

After a moment, the ringtone rang again, and with the "buzzing" vibration, she felt it was extremely harsh, and she suppressed her anger and went to pick up the phone.

It wasn't Xu Liang. He stopped hanging up the phone and moved his fingertips to the green button next to him.

"Miss, what you want to check is difficult to find. It has been more than 20 years, and there were more than one abandoned babies during that time. I heard that some were adopted and taken abroad, and some left Hong Kong Island and went to the mainland... "

Ji Mingzhu was already angry and had no place to vent his anger, but it ignited in an instant, "I can't even find out such a trivial matter! Why did I pay you for this?"

The person on the other side didn't dare to say anything.

"If you can't find it, keep checking!"

She scolded her loudly before turning off the phone.

An hour later, Ji Mingzhu went to the coffee shop for an appointment.

Xu Liang was already waiting in the box, sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking coffee. Seeing Ji Mingzhu push the door open and come in, he slowly raised his eyelids and said, "It's so hard to see you."

Ji Mingzhu took off her sunglasses, carried her bag and sat down opposite him. Without saying any nonsense, she said, "Delete the recording."

Xu Liang put down the cup calmly and said slowly: "Don't worry, order a drink first." Ji Mingzhu's brows almost knitted together, "I'm not in the mood to drink coffee with you, what do you want? "

Xu Liang crossed his hands against his chin and stared at her deeply, "Shouldn't I ask you this? You promised well back then. As long as I help you, you will agree to date me."

"But you didn't help me in the end, and I said I could compensate you."

"Compensation? The lost batch of fabrics plus labor costs and shipping costs are about five to six million, and the reputation and reputation of the Xu family factory have plummeted. Calculating this, the loss will be at least tens of millions. You can compensate it."

Ji Mingzhu was angry, "What a lion!"

Although tens of millions is nothing to the Ji family, there is no way she would let Xu Liang cheat her out of so much money.

"Where is the lion's mouth? I can show you even the losing bills."

"You hate the Xu family to begin with. You should be happy about the Xu family's loss and stop blaming me alone."

Xu Liang continued to take a sip of coffee, with a gloomy expression between his brows and eyes, "But then I thought about it and still felt it was not worth it. Everything in the Xu family will be mine sooner or later. Do you think it's me who loses?"

Ji Mingzhu gritted her teeth, and after a while she took a step back, "I can give you five million, but no more is possible."

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, "I told you I don't lack the money."

Ji Mingzhu lost all her patience, "What do you want?"

If I had known he was so difficult to deal with, I wouldn't have approached him no matter what I said.

When we first met, he pretended to be so polite, but now he is revealed to be a hypocrite.

Xu Liang reached across the table, pinched her chin, and said, "Of course, I want you."

Ji Mingzhu immediately shook off his hand and avoided it as if he had touched something dirty, "You're dreaming."

Xu Liang took back his hand and nodded lightly, "Then you just wait until the recording is made public. I guess you still can't let go of the Xi family member. What do you think will happen if he knows?"

The anger in Ji Mingzhu's eyes could not be suppressed, and her fingertips trembled slightly, "Don't go too far!"

Xu Liang turned a deaf ear and leaned lazily on the sofa, "I'll give you time to think about whether you want to be with me."

Ji Mingzhu pinched her palms hard to keep calm.

If this matter spreads, her reputation and image in the circle will be destroyed, and it will bring shame to the Ji family, and Xi Jinbai will not let her go.

Sang Yu didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he had given him, and asked him to protect him in every possible way.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ji Mingzhu had no choice but to agree. This was a delaying measure, "Delete the recording and I can be with you."

Xu Liang thought like a mirror, "You can't delete it now, Miss Ji. Your credibility with me is now at stake."

Ji Mingzhu was obviously unable to deal with people like him.

"How do you want to delete it?"

"You have to let me see your sincerity first, otherwise how will I know if you are lying to me?"

Xu Liang raised his fingers towards her, which was an obvious hint.

Ji Mingzhu clenched her fists and hesitated for a long time before she stood up, moved away, and sat on his lap.

Xu Liang lifted her chin and kissed her without any explanation.
