Chapter 1507: Chapter 1507: Can Only Choose 1 (1)
After Beichuan’s mother finished her nagging and finally left, Beichuan’s ears found some peace. Yet unexpectedly, Xiao Ji came over to visit him.
Seeing Xiao Ji, Beichuan’s mood soured, and he sneered, "Xiao, you dare use me as a pawn?!"
If it weren’t for Su Hongxing reminding him, he wouldn’t have known that he’d been manipulated by the cunning Xiao Ji.
"I wanted you to see clearly that Ye Qilan also has weaknesses. His weakness is his impulsiveness. In the business world, we will certainly often clash with Ye Qilan. Business is like warfare; seeing Ye Qilan’s weaknesses now will ensure victory in future battles. Beichuan, you’ve been oppressed by Ye Qilan for many years, surely you hold some grudge against him?" Xiao Ji replied indifferently.
"There’s no need to make excuses for yourself. Just because I don’t speak about certain things doesn’t mean I’m unaware. You only want to defeat Ye Qilan, thinking that by doing so, you’ll have a chance to win back Su Su? Have you ever considered that once Su Su sets her mind on someone, she never changes? Even if one day you defeat Ye Si in business, do you think Su Su will choose to live with you? It’s simply laughable!" Beichuan mocked coldly, seeing through Xiao Ji’s sinister intentions.
In terms of cunning, he may not match Ye Qilan and Xiao Ji, but he can clearly discern the stakes involved.
"I am indeed unwilling to have lost to Ye Qilan. Back then, Xingxing and I were childhood sweethearts, deeply in love, and it was him who forcibly tore us apart. If it weren’t for Ye Qilan’s meddling, Xingxing would already be my wife."
Xiao Ji sat by the bedside, and these words were also his heartfelt truth.
His unwillingness came from Ye Qilan, as he loved Su Hongxing so much, but Su Hongxing chose Ye Qilan.
All of this was simply because Ye Qilan was wealthy and powerful, while he was a poor boy. Now he has leveled the playing field with Ye Qilan, and in terms of strength, he might not be inferior to Ye Qilan.
He exhausted all means to acquire everything he has today, so naturally, he must meticulously plan for his future.
"Your unwillingness is your issue, it has nothing to do with me. If you dare to use me again, don’t blame me for turning against you!" Beichuan said coldly, "After this incident, I hold a doubtful attitude towards your credibility. As for the cooperation with your company, I’ll make a decision after considering it."
Xiao Ji did not expect Beichuan to go back on his word; he was surprised but kept his composure: "Cooperation concerns the vital interests of the company, so of course you should think it through. As for the other matter I requested, I hope you can expedite it. I’ll visit you again next time, so take good care of yourself and recover well."
Watching Xiao Ji’s retreating figure, Beichuan didn’t expect such an attitude from him. He thought Xiao Ji valued him as a business partner; his earlier words were partly to give Xiao Ji a warning signal and partly to test him.
In the end, he found Xiao Ji to be enigmatic.
Partnering with such a person requires utmost vigilance, lest you get used without even knowing how.
The following days were quite peaceful, with seemingly nothing unusual happening.
One day, Xiao Ji went to the hospital to visit Du Qingyu. After treatment, her illness had improved, but due to the long sickness, she had lost a lot of weight and looked pale, very weak.
"The doctor said you could be discharged in two more days of recuperation." Xiao Ji placed the flowers in order and sat by the bed.
"I’ve gotten much better. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know how I died. Xiao Ji, thank you for saving my life."
