Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 101. It wasn't a sudden change.

"Ci Ge!"

"Mr. Ji!"

Two shouts rang out, one after the other.

The man standing at the door of the ward slowly raised his head, his eyes unfocused as he stared at the two people who had rushed over.

Lin Feng saw Ji Yanci's phone screen immediately, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Brother Ci, are you alright?"

“Lin Feng…” Ji Yanci looked a little off, his expression was somewhat bewildered and helpless, like a child, “She doesn’t want me anymore.”

Lin Feng's eyelids twitched slightly.

He had never seen Ji Yanci like this before.

"President Ji, what's wrong?" Assistant Li asked in alarm, "Who said you don't want me anymore?"

Is this Ji Yanci, the one who has the final say in the company and is always in charge of planning and strategizing?
"Jiang Jixu".

The man lowered his head and murmured the girl's name, ignoring the sudden widening of her eyes at his words.

Li Cheng wondered if this world was a fantasy.

Otherwise, why would Ji Yanci call Miss Jiang's name in that tone and say "she doesn't want me anymore"?
Is this something that will happen to Ji Yanci?

He couldn't help but ask Lin Feng beside him, "Young Master Lin, am I hallucinating?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes at the man, then looked at the distraught Ji Yanci with complicated emotions.

To be honest, he had imagined all sorts of reactions the other person might have after seeing Jiang Jixu's Weibo post—anger, resentment, indifference… The only thing he hadn't expected was that the other person would be like this now, as if he had lost his soul, as if all his energy had been drained away.

This look is somewhat familiar.

Lin Feng remembered.

He had seen it in Jiang Jixu.

When Ji Yanci unfollowed him on Weibo, Wish Studio was opening, but Ji Yanci didn't even send a flower basket... Over the years, Lin Feng had seen this expression on Jiang Jixu's face countless times.

But this is the first time I've seen it in Ji Yanci.

When the two were reversed for a moment, Lin Feng felt inexplicably complicated.

After a while, he stepped forward and softly called out, "Brother Ci."

Ji Yanci's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She suddenly grabbed his wrist, her eyes filled with panic and helplessness as she looked at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, what should I do... She, she doesn't want me anymore..."

"She posted on Weibo that she's married." The man's bloodshot eyes welled up with tears, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his voice trembled and was dry. "...Why, why did she suddenly change?"

I don't understand Ji Yanci.

Why would Jiang Jixu rather post on Weibo and break ties with the Ji family than come to him and apologize?

Just for that man she had only recently married?
Lin Feng looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly said something.

"It wasn't sudden, was it?"

Meeting Ji Yanci's frozen gaze, Lin Feng spoke with difficulty: "He Yongwen looks a lot like Lin Qingqing."

Lin Qingqing is the bottom line that Jiang Jixu and Ji Yanci cannot mention or cross.

Upon hearing this, the man's expression stiffened slightly.

It seems he only just remembered this now.

The appearances of He Yongwen and Lin Qingqing

Ji Yanci seemed to have regained his senses, muttering softly, "I... I was so angry at the time, I forgot..."

He forgot that Ho Wing-man was not just an ordinary rumored girlfriend.

Since He Yongwen got together with him, Ji Yanci would bring women to parties, but he would never let Jiang Jixu see them. He would also tell other people in the circle to not mention He Yongwen in front of Jiang Jixu.

Occasionally, nosy people would ask, "Brother Ci, you don't let Miss Jiang know about this guy outside. Are you afraid she'll really give up on you?"

Ji Yanci's words are always undeniable.

He even found it a little funny.

What's so scary?

Jiang Jixu has been following him around for over ten years, and it will continue to be so in the future.

But only today did Ji Yanci realize that his subconscious was reminding him not to let He Yongwen appear in front of Jiang Jixu, and not to let her know about He Yongwen's existence.

Once exposed, the girl will be gone forever.

Lin Feng pursed his lips.

His disagreement with Ji Yanci's use of this method at the time was not because He Yongwen looked like Lin Qingqing, but simply because he felt it was unnecessary.

After all, for the Ji family, it would damage the company's image to some extent if the company's manager, who is already engaged, were to cause such a scandal.

But Ji Yanci insisted on doing it, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The two fell silent, but Assistant Li coughed lightly and said, "President Ji, I'm here for the same reason."

"The company's stock price has been falling because of your scandal, and the board of directors is very dissatisfied. Mrs. Ji asked me to discuss public relations strategies with you."

Lin Feng couldn't help but rub his forehead.

He knew it.

That was a terrible mistake!
Ji Yanci pursed his lips, his face slightly pale.

"Please remove the trending topic."

Assistant Li hesitated, "President Ji, I'm afraid it's not possible now."

"Mrs. Ji's idea is that since Miss Jiang has already posted on Weibo, she might as well take the opportunity to clarify that the two families have dissolved their engagement."

"Currently, it seems that quite a few people still ship you and Ms. He as a couple. The PR department believes that we can further solidify this by showing more affection, which will help you cultivate a responsible and dedicated image. Netizens are really into this kind of thing..."

"boom--"

Before Assistant Li could finish speaking, a glass smashed at his feet.

It was broken into pieces.

Li Chengli immediately fell silent.

Ji Yanci's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke, word by word.

"I said, remove the trending topic."

Lin Feng gave Li Cheng a look, signaling him to leave.

Once only he and Ji Yanci were left in the ward, Lin Feng carefully considered his words before speaking, "Brother Ci, I actually think this is a good opportunity."

"What good opportunity?" the man asked, his voice hoarse.

"This is what I think. Even if Jiang Jixu is married now, he might still care about you. You two grew up together, and childhood sweethearts can't be replaced by just anyone, right?"

Ji Yanci pursed his lips: "Continue."

Seeing that things were looking promising, Lin Feng cleared his throat and said, "She probably posted that wedding announcement on Weibo to spite you."

Ji Yanci clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

"You mean, she posted that Weibo post on purpose to get revenge on me?"

Lin Feng snapped his fingers: "Most likely."

"So, why don't we conduct an experiment?"

"Ci Ge, instead of withdrawing the rumors about you and He Yongwen, you continue to confirm them by showing off your affection online. Let's see how Jiang Jixu reacts."

"If she starts posting on Weibo like you, then it's 100% to spite you!"

Lin Feng crossed his arms, slightly raised his chin, and thought his idea was absolutely brilliant!

Ji Yanci hesitated.

Is this really okay?

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately patted his chest and assured him.

"Hey, I've had plenty of girlfriends, don't you believe me, Brother Ci?"

"Would a brother harm you?"
