Chapter 228 Positioning 3
Jiang Yang guessed correctly; there was a hidden meaning in their words, something that couldn't be said. So now, Chi Ruiche was protecting Jiang Yi, keeping her away from this trouble.
Jiang Yang stopped talking, said "Goodbye" and turned to go to the living room, where Grandpa Jiang was taking a nap, still a little drunk.
Only the Chi family grandfather and grandson remained in the courtyard. They had said almost everything they needed to say, and neither of them spoke.
"See, I told you it would be here."
Mrs. Chi had already come over with a bag. They must have come looking for them after coming downstairs without seeing them. "Xiao Che, please take these things to Aunt Zheng for me as well."
"Auntie, give it to me."
Zheng Zihan reached for the handbag, but Chi's mother deliberately dodged it, implying that Chi Ruiche should take it. Chi Ruiche stubbed out his cigarette and accepted it.
"Let me take you home!" Chi Ruiche didn't intend to say anything and got up to take Zheng Zihan home.
"Let Uncle Wang open it; the wine you just drank isn't safe."
Chi's mother saw that Chi Ruiche had drunk quite a bit earlier, so how could he possibly wake up so soon?
Zheng Zihan greeted them one by one before leaving. Chi's mother was increasingly satisfied with what she saw. Zheng Zihan knew what Chi's mother meant, and she also admitted that she had feelings for Chi Ruiche. Chi Ruiche was indeed a very outstanding man. Chi's mother had brought her up to chat for this reason. Her aunt hoped that she could officially become Chi Ruiche's fiancée. She was also very surprised, since they had only met a few times. However, Chi's mother tried her best to show her affection for her, and she just remained silent out of shyness.
She knew she was waiting for Chi Ruiche to say it himself.
The two of them sat in the back seat. Chi Ruiche didn't say anything and just leaned back quietly with his eyes closed. Zheng Zihan noticed that after meeting a few times, when the two of them were alone, either Chi Ruiche had been drinking or he wouldn't say anything. Occasionally, he would bring up a topic and barely manage to say a few words, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.
"Beep beep beep—"
Chi Ruiche's phone rang, and he answered it immediately. He frowned after hearing what was said on the other end of the line. "Okay, I understand."
"Uncle Wang, let's go to the apartment."
Chi Ruiche directly instructed him to go to his house. Actually, the person on the phone was Abu, who had already chosen the actress for his movie and couldn't wait for Chi Ruiche to see her. If she was suitable, Chi Ruiche would send the formal contract to Abu for signing. Therefore, Chi Ruiche had to go home to handle things.
"Zihan, I have some things to take care of. I'll have Uncle Wang take you home." Chi Ruiche said apologetically.
"It's okay." Zheng Zihan had never been to the apartment before, so she took the initiative to say, "Are you sure you don't want to invite me up for a bit?"
Chi Ruiche hadn't expected her to say that, so he had Uncle Wang park the car and the two of them went back to the apartment. Chi Ruiche didn't give any special instructions and went straight to the study, only telling her to sit down first.
"May I take a look around?"
Zheng Zihan was very interested in this place, and Chi Ruiche didn't refuse and let her take a look for herself.
This is a two-bedroom, one-living room, two-bathroom apartment, with one bedroom and one study, decorated in a modern minimalist style, giving it a comfortable and clean feel. Looking at it, Zheng Zihan felt that this man was tasteful, charming, and attractive.
Chi Ruiche held a video conference with Abu in the study to discuss the casting issue. Abu had initially shortlisted 30 girls before making a final selection.
Zheng Zihan opened the bedroom door. To the right of the entrance was the bathroom. She walked straight ahead and saw a modern-style bed that was neatly made. Next to the large floor-to-ceiling window was a beanbag chair that seemed out of place in the room. It was hard to imagine that Chi Ruiche would like to lie on it.
There are two bedside tables next to the bed, with a touch-sensitive nightlight and a photo frame on the left.
This puzzled Zheng Zihan, who walked over and couldn't help but pick it up. It wasn't anyone's photo, but the character "澈" (Che). It looked like it was written with a brush, but the strokes didn't resemble anyone else's handwriting, and there was no signature.
"You can go."
Chi Ruiche was quite efficient; he knocked on the open bedroom door and came in. Zheng Zihan was startled and hurriedly put the door down, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Excuse me, but this character is written in a rather unusual way." Zheng Zihan felt it was impolite of her to look at it without permission.
