after being framed by her family she was pampered by a ceo from a rich family
Chapter 14
“Yaoyao, your little brother came to the company just now. I don’t know what happened, but he looked angry and looked like he was looking for a fight. Hurry up and call him to ask.”
Jing Yao thought of Wen Chen, who had called her for the first time, and had already roughly guessed what was going on.
Ji Wei must have found out about her breaking off the engagement with Wen Chen.
Jing Yao had a headache. She had always treated Ji Wei as a child. She really didn’t want him to know about these dirty things.
“It’s so hard to be human!” Jing Yao sighed with grief and indignation.
“…” Liang Xun, who was silently packing her luggage.
Jing Yao wanted to call Ji Wei somewhere else. After all, she felt that it was better not to let Liang Xun know about the troubles of the Jing Family.
What she did not know was that Liang Xun already knew about what happened in the Jing Family because she had a bad-tempered best friend.
She lifted the blanket and prepared to get out of bed.
Liang Xun noticed and asked, “Are you getting up? Are you hungry?”
Jing Yao shook her head. “No, I’m going out to make a call.”
Liang Xun frowned. He could understand that Jing Yao couldn’t trust him completely now, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
“There’s no need to go out. Let’s call here. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if the porridge is ready.”
With that, Liang Xun left and closed the door for her.
In that case, Jing Yao was glad that she didn’t have to move. She leaned against the headboard, took a deep breath, and called Ji Wei.
“Sister Yaoyao…”
As soon as the call connected, Ji Wei dragged out his voice and shouted pitifully.
Jing Yao touched her nose and quickly comforted him. Then she asked about Ji Wei’s life abroad, leading him to gossip a lot. She hoped that he would not ask about that matter, but it was obviously impossible.
She paused for a second to think of a topic and Ji Wei asked, “Sister Yaoyao, did the Jing Family and Wen Chen gang up to bully you again?”
Jing Yao thought to herself.
Sure enough, he probably only knew the result, but he didn’t know the reason.
“No.” Jing Yao tried to sound natural. “I don’t even go back. How can they bully me?”
“Then why did Wen Chen suddenly cancel the engagement with you? That was decided by the elders in the family when he was young. What right does he have to cancel it just like that?”
Ji Wei sounded anxious, and Jing Yao could feel the anger in his tone even through the phone. She could almost imagine how angry he was. Ji Wei had been like this since he was young.
“Don’t be angry.” Jing Yao comforted him. After a second of silence, she said slowly, “Little Wei, he’s not the only one who wants to cancel the engagement. I want to do that too.”
Ji Wei paused and asked after a while, “Why?”
Jing Yao said, “This engagement is a kind of restriction for both me and him. Wen Chen hates me and I can’t stand his personality. It is meaningless to continue to pester him. Besides… I don’t want to be stuck in the mud of the Jing Family anymore. I want to change my life.”
Ji Wei did not speak and only listened with bated breath.
Jing Yao continued, “A life without Jing Yuan, the Jing Family, and Wen Chen. The annulment of the engagement is a new life for me.”
Ji Wei wanted to ask her the reason for the annulment of the engagement, but after hearing Jing Yao’s words, he suddenly felt that there was no need to ask.
Ji Wei was silent for a moment before saying seriously, “I understand, Sister Yaoyao. As long as you think it’s good, I’ll support you no matter what. Even if you’re not engaged to Wen Chen, you’re still my older sister.”
Hearing that, Jing Yao heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “I’m your sister. What does it have to do with Wen Chen?”
Ji Wei smiled as well. His depressed mood instantly cleared up.
“Yes, it has nothing to do with Wen Chen. Sister Yaoyao, I’m back in the country. We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Do you want to meet tomorrow? I’ll treat you to a big meal. Do you want to eat hotpot? This is what I’ve been thinking about the most when I was overseas.”
Hearing the word hotpot, Jing Yao thought of the bright red spicy oil and couldn’t help but lick her lips.
Because she had been feeling nauseous recently, she thought that it was because of her gastric problem. In order to nourish her stomach, she ate very light food. In fact, she had been craving it for a long time.
But… could she eat it?
Jing Yao was not confident and could only tell Ji Wei that she would decide about it tomorrow.
