2215: What Did You Give Yourself?
Several people suddenly sobered up. They looked at me, and I looked at them, their faces pale with fright, and their hair standing on end.
“Damn, this is a shooting!”
With that thought, they ran back for their lives and bowed continuously in front of Lin Yi.
“Big brother, we know we were wrong. I shouldn’t have come here. Please give us another chance. I have elderly parents and young children; please don’t kill me.”
Uh…
Lin Yi was confused but didn’t bother too much with them and waved his hand.
“Go.”
Lin Yi stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for about twenty minutes before he saw Mo Hongshan and Gao Chong arrive in two cars with more than a dozen armed men, stopping in front of him.
“Where are they?” Mo Hongshan asked after getting out of the car.
“They’re inside the alley. They are just small fries; I’m not sure how much they know. We’ll need to interrogate them thoroughly.”
“Okay, we’ll handle this. I’ll call you when we have results.”
“Alright.”
After that, Mo Hongshan ordered his men to bring out Gret and others, put them in the car, and after saying goodbye to Lin Yi, they left with his men.
Lin Yi and Sun Shengxi then returned to the restaurant where Ji Qingyan and Li Rong’s dinner was also coming to an end.
“What took you so long?”
“We just dealt with some hoodlums.”
Ji Qingyan nodded and didn’t say much.
Being with Lin Yi for a long time, she no longer worried about such minor incidents.
After dinner, the two groups parted ways, and Lin Yi drove Ji Qingyan home.
“What do you think about the cooperation?”
On the way home, Ji Qingyan asked softly.
“I don’t have many thoughts on it, what about you?”
“I think it’s quite good. All the terms are pretty favorable. If you don’t have any objections, we could give it a try.”
“Then let’s give it a try. It’s a fool who doesn’t take an opportunity to earn money. I don’t mind more of that.”
“Mainly, the chip development is a costly project. With Lingyun Group’s current finances, they are barely maintaining. Thus, we must continue to expand profitable projects, or the research progress will lag and the gap with foreign countries will increase,” Ji Qingyan said. “Also, it’s with someone we know.”
“Then let’s proceed as you suggest.”
“Alright.”
About forty minutes later, Lin Yi dropped Ji Qingyan off at her home.
Seeing their car come in, Song Lan came out smiling, opened the car door for Lin Yi, and welcomed him like he was her own son.
“Come on, come in. I’ve already cut up some fruit for you.”
“Auntie, you are so hospitable, you’re making me feel embarrassed,” Lin Yi said, grinning.
“We’re all family here; there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Please come inside.”
Song Lan led Lin Yi into the house while Ji Qingyan stood in place and rolled her eyes several times, already accustomed to such treatment.
Whenever Lin Yi came by, she would definitely be neglected.
As usual, once Lin Yi arrived, Song Lan showed no signs of letting him leave.
They sat in the living room for a while before she urged them to wash up and go to sleep.
“I was just making tea, and I think my mom was whispering something to you. What did she say?”
Ji Qingyan adjusted her hair, feigning indifference.
“Are you always this curious, wanting to pry into everything?”
“I’m still a member of this family, after all. I should have the right to know.”
“Let’s go get our marriage certificate and get the formalities done,” Lin Yi said.
“Or we could skip the certificate, just have a child. Otherwise, she’s just idling at home.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. My mom would never say such a thing to you.”
“I didn’t want to say it, but you insisted on asking. Now you don’t believe me. You are so strange.”
“You’re the strange one,” Ji Qingyan huffed.
“It’s normal for a man of age to get married and a woman as well. It’s normal for your aunt to ask.”
Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the bed. “I think your mom makes perfect sense. We really should schedule it. After all, we aren’t getting any younger. If we wait a few more years, you might even be considered an elderly pregnant woman.”
“I’m not even 30 yet. You are the elderly pregnant woman here.”
Every time the topic of age came up, Ji Qingyan managed to avoid it.
