Let’s Lose A Billion Today First - Chapter 21: The Attack Of The Tycoon (21)

Yet when the red cloth was taken down, it was just a plain white car with a cost of a million dollars.

Comparing it with Chuzheng’s car, this car was lacking.

Ji Tongtong was embarrassed and upset yet she had to smile and thanked Father Ji although her attitude was quite perfunctory.

‘How did Chuzheng buy a car?’

‘Had daddy bought it for her? ‘

‘Why was it sent here at this time? Was it to purposely embarrass her?’

After Chuzheng signed the bill, she left and had not given others a chance to talk to her. It was elegant and cool.

“Tongtong.” Her stepmother pulled her away at the side and reminded her. “Don’t think too much about it. Meng Ran is waiting for you, go on.”

Once Ji Tongtong heard Meng Ran was waiting for her, she quickly recollected herself and rushed towards Meng Ran.

Father Ji was chatting with others as his gaze scanned one round before he saw Ji Tongtong talking to Meng Ran with intimate contact.

“Old Ji, look at those two children. They are an ideal couple. Regarding the matter I mentioned previously, what do you think about it?” Father Meng smiled.

Father Ji’s heart was in a mess as he wanted to evade the topic, but stepmother who was standing beside him said, “If Tongtong and Meng Ran like each other, as their parents, we would have no objections.”

……

Father Ji furrowed his brows. “They are still young…”

Father Meng said, “No problem. Meng Ran is going to graduate from high school. After he graduates, we can let them be engaged with each other first.”

Father Meng seemed to be very satisfied with Ji Tongtong.

Even Mother Meng had no objections and agreed.

All three of them chatted merrily and Father Ji’s objection was forgotten just like that.

–

“What do you think Ji Chuzheng was trying to do? Doing such a thing during Ji Tongtong’s birthday party?”

“Isn’t it obvious? No matter what, Ji Tongtong is still a stepdaughter while Ji Chuzheng is the real successor of the Ji family. Isn’t this clearly telling her that she is the successor of the Ji family!”

“You make sense. Even if Ji Tongtong tries her best, the Ji family still belongs to Ji Chuzheng.”

“Don’t speak too soon. If Ji Tongtong’s mum gives birth to a son, he would be the actual successor of the Ji family.”

“Ji Chuzheng changed so much, I almost couldn’t recognize her.”

Ji Tongtong stood at a secluded place and heard all of their conversations.

Her hands slightly clenched into a fist. A stepdaughter… No matter how hard she tries, she was just a stepdaughter.

“Tongtong, why are you standing here?” Yang Qianqian rushed over.

“Nothing.” Ji Tongtong lowered her head and regained her warm smile when she raised her head again. “To take a breather.”

“Come with me.” Yang Qianqian pulled Ji Tongtong upstairs and closed the room door. “Tongtong, do you want to embarrass Ji Chuzheng?”

Ji Tongtong purposely acted as though she did not understand. “Qianqian, what are you saying? She’s my big sister.”

“What kind of big sister is she? She doesn’t even treat you as her younger sister so don’t speak up for her.”

“Qianqian!”

“Aiya, don’t care too much about it. Help me to leak the news later.”

The main focus of Ji Tongtong’s birthday party was at night. Ji Tongtong changed into a grander gown and when she stood together with Meng Ran, they looked like a match made in heaven.

Yang Qianqian stood at the side and her heart was filled with jealousy yet she had to continue smiling.

The party went on smoothly. Ji Tongtong wanted to find Yang Qianqian, but could not find her after a long while. Hadn’t she wanted to embarrass Ji Chuzheng?

Why had she disappeared at this moment?

Ji Tongtong asked the people beside her and she found out that Yang Qianqian went upstairs.

Ji Tongtong searched for her upstairs and when she passed by a room, the room door suddenly opened and she was pulled inside it.

The room was dark and she could not see a thing.

Her chin was held by someone as she was harshly fed with some water. The cold alcoholic substance entered her stomach.

“Cough, cough, cough…” Ji Tongtong was choked badly and the fear from the darkness made her voice quiver as she questioned. “Who are you… who are you? What are you trying to do?”

The person who abducted her pushed her from the back and Ji Tongtong’s brain started to spin as she fell down beside the bed before she heard the door open.

Following that, the room became dark again.

Chuzheng stood outside the door and spun the glass cup in her hands before returning to her room.

After about half an hour, Chuzheng heard loud noises as the corridor was filled with people.

Chuzheng pushed her way through and maybe her cold aura was too strong thus the surrounding people stepped back and made way for her to walk through.

The room was quite messy and there was even a strange smell. Ji Tongtong was hugged by Meng Ran while Yang Qianqian was bound on the bed as she shivered and did not dare to look at anyone.

“Oh my gosh! This is shocking…”

“I didn’t know these two people had such a relationship. But to do this in the guest room…”

“Too bad, I came too late and didn’t manage to catch that splendid scene.”

“Isn’t this too disgusting?”

“Yeah, why didn’t I know they had such a relationship in the past?”

“Aren’t both of them always together? In the past, I thought that they were too close and it was not normal…”

Father Ji and others heard the ruckus and rushed over. Stepmother almost fainted in fright when she saw that scene. Father Ji quickly sent away the guests and controlled the situation.

Today, business partners and Ji Tongtong’s classmates all came.

Too many people witnessed that scene thus, even if Father Ji wanted to prevent the spread of news, it was impossible.

Father Meng and Mother Meng were there as well and when they saw the scene, they had a complex look as they looked at each other.

Ji Tongtong and Yang Qianqian actually…

Although the acceptance of such a relationship was better now than in the past.

When it happened to the people around them, it still made some uncomfortable and unacceptable.

“Erm… Old Ji, we will take our leave now.” Mother Meng pulled Meng Ran away but at that moment, Father Ji and stepmother had no time to bother with them.

“Mom…” Meng Ran had not wanted to leave.

“Let’s go.” Mother Meng muttered and forcefully pulled Meng Ran away with Father Meng.

Chuzheng stood outside the door and looked with a cold expression. When Meng Ran came out, he locked eyes with her and a chill came down his spine.

“Hurry up.” Mother Meng pulled Meng Ran and swiftly left.

“Mom…” Ji Tongtong wailed out loudly.

“Tongtong, Tongtong… What happened?”

Ji Tongtong did not know what happened. She was fed a glass of wine and her whole body started to feel warm then…

Yang Qianqian could not say it out either and only cried.

Father Ji said in a deep voice. “Both of you, you’re really…”

“Daddy, Qianqian and I are just friends. I really don’t know what happened. It must be someone else who did this to Qianqian and I…”

Ji Tongtong recounted her encounter earlier.

Especially the incident where she was pulled in the room.

Ji Tongtong cried and cried but suddenly raised her head and pointed to Chuzheng. “Big sister… It was big sister… Big sister was the one who pulled me into the room.”

Stepmother could not believe her ears. “Tongtong, what did you say?”

Father Ji looked towards his daughter who stood at the door.

Towards Ji Tongtong’s accusation, Chuzheng remained calm.

Father Ji questioned her. “Chuzheng… what’s going on here?”

‘How did a birthday party turn out like this?’

‘His stepdaughter even accused his own daughter and said she harmed her?’

“I don’t know.”

Chuzheng’s reply was even colder.
