You get married, I hijack the marriage

Chapter 490 Are you hiding something from me?
His gaze moved away from the window and fell on her. There was a moment of emptiness and confusion, as if there was a trace of hesitation and helplessness. Only when she asked again "What's wrong?" did he gradually regain focus and his vision gradually became clear.

He held her hand on his arm with a bit too much force, squeezing her five fingers together. Then he slowly loosened his grip and gently covered the back of her hand. He pulled the corner of his lips and said, "Have you finished translating?"

She noticed his strange mood just now: "How were you just now?"

"I'm just a little tired." He rubbed his temple, with a hint of fatigue between his brows, and then raised his head to look at her, "Where's the translation? Give it to me and I'll help you take a look."

He looked really tired, so she didn't think too much about it: "It's getting late, let's take a rest."

He sat there motionless: "If you feel sleepy, go and rest first. I will return to my room after I finish reading."

She pulled him up and pushed him out of the study from behind: "It's Xiao Cheng's job anyway. Bring the translated plan to the company tomorrow and let him check it."

Back in the bedroom, Shen Youran went into the bathroom to take a shower first. When she came out of the bathroom, Ji Jinchuan was gone from the room. Through the sliding glass door, she saw the man smoking on the balcony.

He had his back to her and she could only see his tall figure. There was no light on the balcony and his figure was swallowed up by the darkness at night.

Ji Jinchuan finished smoking a cigarette and returned to the room. Shen Youran was blowing her hair. She turned off the hair dryer and looked at him: "Are you hiding something from me?"

His dark eyes fell on her: "No."

"You seldom smoke when you get home."

"I had a craving for a cigarette, so I smoked one." He walked closer to her, ruffled her still wet hair, and took the hair dryer from her hand.

She avoided his hand: "You should go take a shower, I will do it myself."

Ji Jinchuan nodded and went into the bathroom. …

The entertainment venue project has not yet come to an end, and the bank keeps demanding payment. Xue Jie convened a board meeting to try to find a solution to the current difficulties.

The directors were dejected as none of them could think of a foolproof plan, so the meeting was as good as no event.

Xue Ling has been back to the company since yesterday. After the meeting, she followed Xue Jie into the president's office: "Dad, is there no other way?"

Xue's family was in dire straits. Xue Jie was so anxious that he was running around in circles, but he had no idea what to do. "Didn't Madam Ji recognize you as her goddaughter? Go and beg her. If Ji Jinchuan is willing to say a word to Director Liu, Xue's family can be saved."

Xue Ling pouted: "Mommy already looked for Madam Ji yesterday, and I'll get the same result if I go."

Xue Jie was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Please beg Madam Ji again today. No matter what method we use, we must try it."

Ji Jinchuan could stand by and watch her in danger. Even if she went to save Xie Suling, Ji Jinchuan might not help her. She would only get his ruthless humiliation: "I won't go."

Xue Jie lowered his voice and said sternly, "Now is not the time to lose your temper."

Judging from the situation in the meeting just now, the Xue family has really reached the end of the road. Xue Ling called Xie Suling in front of her father.

Xie Suling was playing mahjong with a group of wealthy wives. Her cell phone was placed next to her. When the phone rang, she didn't even look to see who was calling. She just answered it and put it to her ear. Xue Ling's weak and aggrieved voice came from the other end: "Godmother..."
