Qiao Nian moved back slightly and warned her impatiently, âYou can try reaching for it again.â
Her eyes were cold. It was a dare.
Her cold gaze froze Ji Ziyin momentarily.
Qiao Nian picked up the painting. Before leaving, she bumped Ji Ziyinâs shoulder and said provocatively, âl snatched it. Do you want it? Sure, Iâll wait for you and the old thing behind you steal it!â
Ji Ziyin staggered from the impact before stabilizing. She suddenly turned around and glared at the girl e s back as she swaggered away. Then, she scolded in a low voice, âWho do you think youâve offended? Qiao Nian, youâll regret it! You canât be arrogant for another day!â
The girl did not even turn her head. It was as if her warning was f*cking unintimidating.
Ji Ziyin watched as she walked to a car, opened the door, and got inside.
Then, the car quickly drove away and disappeared from her visionâŠ
The veins on her forehead bulged, and her beautiful face turned red. It took her a long time to recover, and her heart was not beating as fast as before.
She pinched her palm expressionlessly and walked into the café.
She and Qiao Nian had only argued outside for a few minutes.
The person in the café did not notice the brief confrontation outside.
Lu Yiming finished his coffee and got up to pay the bill.
Unexpectedly, a woman rushed in at this moment.
âSir, itâs a total of 103 yuan.â The waiter took out his QR code. âAre you scanning the QR code?â
Seeing Ji Ziyin walking over, Lu Yiming calmly scanned the QR code and said to the waiter, âPlease give me a glass of plain water.â
The waiter looked up in surprise. âYes, sir.â
Then, he saw a beautiful woman coming over with a furious expression. With cold eyes, Ji Ziyin calmly ordered, âGive me a cup of Blue Mountain.â
âOkay, okay.â The waiter thought for a moment and quickly slipped away, thinking it was some emotional entanglement.
Soon, coffee and water were served.
Ji Ziyin stirred her coffee for a long time before looking up. âWhy did you give the painting to her? You know that I donât have a good relationship with her.â
There was a hint of complaint and incomprehension in her words. There was even⊠blame!
Lu Yiming was slightly distracted. When he regained his senses, he could not help but laugh. âYou met Miss Qiao?â
Ji Ziyin was infuriated, but she only nodded coldly. âI chatted with her a little.â
She still could not take it lying down. âWhy did you give the painting to her? Elder Leoâs men should have contacted already! You should know that I really need that painting. You havenât answered my calls or replied to my messages⊠If I hadnât gone to your house to look for you in the morning and Matriarch Lu told me you were here, I wouldnât have known!â
âBecause I donât want to be used by you.â Lu Yiming held the glass with both hands.
His calm contrasted with her agitation.
Ji Ziyin instinctively raised her head. Guilty, her eyes turned evasive. âYou⊠What do you mean?â
It was rare for Lu Yiming to be ungentlemanly. âIt is what it means.â
Ji Ziyin frowned fiercely, but she still said perfunctorily in disgust, âl didnât use you. Itâs just that this painting is very important to me. Weâve known each other since we were young. At the very least, weâre close friends. Even if you donât help me, you shouldnât help her. You canât even be considered friends with her.. Why do you have to risk offending the reclusive families for her?â
