Chapter 721: How could Qiao Jingyun be this kind of person?

“We were each other’s salvation…”

Looking at the smile on Qiao Jingyun’s face, images from the past appeared in his mind. In the darkness where he could not even see his fingers…

‘Little brother… you go first; don’t worry. I’ll be fine.’

A young girl’s sweet voice came from the dark like the warm rays of the sun. It gave him hope.

Back then, she had saved him, but he… let her get hurt in the end.

“Little brother, I hope that you can be happy.” Seeing Ji Ziming’s dazed expression, she looked at him with a smile.

“…” He was a little stunned when he heard her address of him.

This address… She had not called him that in a long time.

For some reason, she called him little brother without his consent when the two of them were still strangers.

However, as time passed, this girl seemed not to like calling him that.

Instead, she liked to call him ‘Ziming’.

He was a little moved when he heard this long-forgotten address.

He knew that she liked him.

He once argued with his parents for her.

In the end, she was forced to leave the country and never come back because of her father.

He knew that he owed her a lot in terms of romantic feelings and gratitude.

If it had not been for her help in that kidnapping incident, he probably would have died back then, and Ji Ziming would be no more in this world…

“Jingyun… thank you.” He expressed his gratitude to her after a moment of silence.

Even though he could not reciprocate her feelings, he would try to make things up to her in other areas.

Looking at the way he reacted, she knew calling him ‘little brother’ was the right move.

This cold and proud man before her still had room for her in his heart.

Even if he already had a girlfriend that he liked, she was still deeply rooted in his heart.

However, even though the term ‘little brother’ saved her, she still hated this form of address.

Thus, she quickly changed her form of address when she saw that he had relented.

“Ziming, I’m curious to know what kind of woman can take down someone as high and mighty as you. Let’s have dinner together next time.”

She looked at him with a smile. Her expression was normal. It was as if she were unbothered by him having a girlfriend at all.

He frowned a little when he heard her request. He was a little hesitant.

Even though he did not really have anything to do with her, he was worried that his girlfriend would misunderstand.

“Why? Is your girlfriend so precious that I can’t even meet her?”

She teased playfully, “Ziming, who do you take me for? Do you think I still like you? Tsk! I dislike being a third party the most!” She pouted and feigned her anger.

“No…” He frowned a little and was about to say something when she cut him off with a wave.

“It’s fine; it’s fine! If you won’t let me meet her, then so be it!” She pouted indignantly. “Not like it’s a handsome man; there’s really nothing to look at.”

Her eyes suddenly blinked and playfulness flashed across them.

“But, Ji Ziming, I’m telling you! You mustn’t forget about me, your sister, now that you have a girlfriend. You can’t treat me less as well, or I’ll complain to your girlfriend.”

Looking at her playful expression, for a moment, he felt that he had gone back in time.

Even though so many years had passed, she did not seem to have changed much…

“I know.”

He nodded and then raised his wrist to check the time. Seeing that it was getting late, he furrowed his brows a little, but before he could say anything, she understandingly spoke.

“Ah, I almost forgot! You need to get home to have dinner with your family. Go, go, go! We’ll stop here today. Go home!”

As she spoke, she got up from the comfortable chair and stood next to him with a smile.

“Ziming, how about you send me home? I haven’t sat in your car in ages.”

“Mhm.”

Hearing her request, he did not turn her down. He nodded plainly and then headed for the door.

As the two left the bar-café, it closed for business.

“Sister Li, your sister’s boyfriend is so handsome. One look, and you know that he’s no ordinary person!”

After they saw the two leave, the waiters of the cafe bar quickly began to gossip.

“Yes, so handsome!”

Looking at how envious her employees were, Xu Li laughed coldly. Even though she did not like Qiao Jingyun as her sister-in-law, she did not say anything out of line.

After all, she was clear that the Qiao family’s change in status from poverty to nouveau riche was due to her sister-in-law.

“Our Sister Li’s family is so good. Sister’s boyfriend is definitely not an ordinary person!”

“Ha ha! He is indeed not an ordinary person; I know who that good-looking man is!”

“What? You know him?”

“Tell us, tell us! Who is he?”

“He’s the CEO of the Ji Group! He’s well-known in the business world. He’s been featured in several financial magazines, and he’s crowned as the number CEO that everyone wants to have a one-night stand with!”

“Wow! The Ji Group? The one that is said to be richer than the richest?”

“Yes! Say, you don’t get a lot of things, do you?”

“Sister Li, you sister is so good! She can actually get such a formidable boyfriend!”

Xu Li pouted indignantly as she listened to the chattering of her staff.

What good? Sister-in-law just got lucky. Back then, she was clearly a selfish, timid, and brainless spoiled brat.

Who knew how she had managed to rescue the sole heir of the Ji Group while still in high school?

Even now, she still found it to be unbelievable!

After all, her willful sister-in-law had never really had any sense of justice since young.

She really could not imagine that her sister-in-law would actually sacrifice herself to save someone whom she had never met before; it was truly unheard of!
