Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 102: Brew a Pot of Coffee for Him

Ji Rui really thought this time Mr. Ji could hold back and ignore his two beloved sons.

Unexpectedly, just as Le Tong walked out of his office, she ran into Mr. Ji coming out of the elevator.

"Hello, Mr. Ji!"

Le Tong hasn’t been at the Ji Family for long. Ever since Mr. Ji handed over the management of Ji Family to Ji Rui, he rarely appeared at the company. The only time Le Tong saw him was at the anniversary party of Ji Family two or three months ago.

Mr. Ji just nodded at her and quickly walked past her, he only knew this person was Ji Rui’s secretary, but he didn’t even clearly see her face.

Mr. Ji is nearly seventy years old, but his steps are still quick, passing by Le Tong as if a breeze had blown by.

In the brief moment their figures crossed, Le Tong’s gaze fell on Mr. Ji’s austere and indifferent face.

Ji Rui’s facial features are not at all like Mr. Ji’s, probably taking after Mrs. Ji, but the cold and merciless traits in Ji Rui are obviously inherited from Mr. Ji.

Ji Baby’s cute and innocent face suddenly flashed into Le Tong’s mind. Although he has a face resembling Ji Rui’s, his clean eyes and the smile that could melt ice make Le Tong feel he’s nothing like a son of a man like Ji Rui.

Is it because the little boy is still young? Or is it because the little boy indeed did not inherit the indifference and ruthlessness of the Ji Family men?

Or perhaps, Ji Rui was also once clean and warm like the little boy, only after experiencing so much heartlessness and hardships did he become the ruthless person he is today?

Le Tong sat at her desk and it took her a while to pull her thoughts away from the three generations of Ji Family men and concentrate on her work.

Meanwhile, in the office, Ji Rui heard the sound of the door and thought Le Tong had returned, so he didn’t even bother to lift his head, just waiting for her to speak.

"Ah Ru!"

The speaker, however, was not who he expected.

Ji Rui abruptly lifted his head and glanced at the old man who had already walked up to him.

"What are you here for?"

Ji Rui’s expression was gloomy, his words filled with disdain and rejection.

"Can you help with Ah Wen and Ah Wu’s situation, bail them out first?"

Mr. Ji certainly knew that Ji Wen and Ji Wu being arrested abroad was all Ji Rui’s doing behind the scenes, but all Ji Rui had done was to unintentionally provide some evidence to the police, meaning that Ji Wen and Ji Wu’s situation was really their own doing and couldn’t blame Ji Rui.

That’s why Mr. Ji spoke so humbly.

"Why should I help?" Ji Rui asked bluntly.

If it weren’t for them, his mother wouldn’t have met such an end!

If it weren’t for them, Ji Rui wouldn’t have to work overtime day and night, and spend so much effort calming down each director’s emotions.

To these people who merely share half his blood, Ji Rui felt he had already done enough.

Mr. Ji seemed silent for a moment, raising his eyes to meet Ji Rui’s cold gaze devoid of any warmth.

"Despite everything, they are still Ji Baby’s uncles."

Mr. Ji hadn’t forgotten the cold snort Ji Rui gave when he last referred to them as his brothers.

"Uncles? Ji Baby is young and doesn’t understand, but at your age don’t you understand? Can you be certain they are truly good to Ji Baby? Have you forgotten that incident when Ji Baby was three and they abducted him?"

When Ji Baby was over three years old, Ji Rui’s two brothers had taken him away under the guise of letting him play with his cousins, but actually to blackmail Ji Rui into accepting some unreasonable demands.

Yi Rui couldn’t see these two as brothers.

"Ah Ru, don’t push me!"

Seeing Ji Rui completely unmoved, Mr. Ji’s face sank and he threatened.

Ji Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Push you? Didn’t you already decide what to do before coming here? Since you want to team up with them to take me on, go ahead!"

Mr. Ji seemed genuinely angered by Ji Rui, his lips trembling as he stared at Ji Rui for a moment before turning and leaving the room with a dark expression.

As soon as he stepped out of the office, Ji Rui picked up the phone and dialed out. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Yang Sheng, the old man just came by, keep a close eye on the stock market situation, all Ji Family stocks will be bought under Ji Baby’s name in the meantime."

Ji Rui had anticipated several ways the old man might try to rescue those two disgraceful sons, the riskiest being selling off Ji Family’s stocks and liquidating significant cash to redeem them abroad.

Based on his reaction just now, Ji Rui guessed the old man was indeed willing to go all out for those two ingrates.

Sure enough, not even half an hour later, Yang Sheng called.

"Rui, Ji Baby now holds an additional 6% of the shares."

Ji Rui wrinkled his brow, barely audible, sighed.

Indeed, he had been too naive expecting the old man to cooperate with him this time to teach those two ingrates a lesson. Unexpectedly, the old man was willing to sell his lifeblood, Ji Family shares, for those two precious sons.

Doesn’t he know that another major shareholder outside of Ji Family is only 5% short of Ji Rui’s stock?

If Ji Rui hadn’t prepared in advance with ample liquidity to instruct Yang Sheng on what to do, this 6% holding might have been pocketed by the other major shareholder, meaning Ji Family would change ownership!

Such stakes, the old man couldn’t possibly be unaware, but doing this despite knowing showed he was already willing to throw away everything for those two ingrates.

Ultimately, nothing Ji Rui does, even for Ji Family, compares to the importance of the old man’s two sons!

Feeling chilled, Ji Rui also felt exhausted!

He put down the phone, closed his eyes slightly, and leaned back against the chair.

After some unknown period, Ji Rui seemed to faintly smell a long-lost but very familiar scent, thinking perhaps it was part of his dreams, he opened his eyes slightly to investigate.

And saw a steaming cup of coffee placed on the desk, it wasn’t a dream!

Ji Rui sat up straight, opened his eyes, and immediately saw Le Tong treading lightly to the door.

Ji Rui said nothing, he simply watched as Le Tong’s figure slipped away, then lifted the coffee and took a sip.

The rich and smooth coffee rolled on his tongue, that unforgettable, irreplaceable aroma spread in his mouth, and his heart, which had been unable to calm down for a long time, slowly began to quiet down after a few sips of coffee.
