Chapter 8

Qiao Ji felt that he must have lost his mind.

But when he regretted it, he had already firmly grabbed Lin Juan's hand and dragged him back to the dining room.

The person who was pushed to the ground and bullied by a child was covered in dust, almost as if he had rolled on the ground, the skin on his hands was scratched, and he still had a smile on his face.

"Are you an idiot..." Qiao Ji complained feebly.

There was mist in Lin Juan's dark eyes: "Dinner..."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to dinner." Qiao Ji responded casually, pulling him back to his seat, and directly pushed him to his seat.

Wen Qiuyu watched her son's every move with a half-smile, but didn't speak.

Qiao Ji hesitated for a while, then said: "This is my...friend, he, he is a bit special, maybe he got lost with his family, so I can only bring him back first."

"It's okay, it's rare that my son has friends."

Don't act like your son has no friends, okay?

Qiao Ji didn't dare to say what was in his heart, but grabbed the napkin and roughly wiped Lin Juan's hands while asking the waiter to bring water and bread.

Sitting there restless, Lin Juan twisted his body to look out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, trying to pull his hand away from Qiao Ji from time to time.

Qiao Ji could only wipe and yell, "Don't move!"

Wen Qiuyu looked at it with a smile, and asked Lin Juan as if he was playing with it: "Little friend, what's your name?"

Lin Juan didn't answer, but Qiao Ji wiped his hands and said, "Don't ask, he's autistic, and won't answer if asked."

Wen Qiuyu's smile faded, he stared at Lin Juan for a while, and finally reached out to stroke his head.

Qiao Ji didn't care what his queen was doing, after wiping Lin Juan's hands, he asked, "Where's your cell phone?"

"Didn't you say you won't answer?"

Qiao Ji was right when he thought about it. Instead of waiting for Lin Juan to bring it out, he might as well find it himself.Now he was only worried that Lin Juan didn't bring his mobile phone at all.Qi Qing didn't call because he was lost.

But soon he found out that he was wrong.

It wasn't that Lin Juan didn't bring his mobile phone, or that no one dialed his number, but that Lin Juan's mobile phone was switched to vibrate mode by someone, and it was vibrating in his pocket at this moment.

Qiao Ji reached out to get it, but Lin Juan avoided it unexpectedly.

"Don't move, I'll take the phone." Qiao Ji said while reaching for it again.

This time Lin Juan clearly covered his pockets and turned his back.

"Hey, give me the phone." Qiao Ji had no choice but to grab him with one hand and reach for the phone with the other.

Unexpectedly, Lin Juan suddenly screamed, "Ah—"

Everyone in the restaurant looked over, and even Wen Qiuyu, who had been watching, was taken aback.

Qiao Ji withdrew his hands hastily, but Lin Juan didn't stop.

"Hush...don't be afraid, I won't snatch your phone anymore, shh!" Qiao Ji tried desperately to calm Lin Juan down, but it didn't work at all. Instead, Lin Juan screamed like a frightened little animal. Shouting and waving hands.

Wen Qiuyu couldn't sit still anymore, walked over and hugged Lin Juan, and no matter how he struggled, she just patted him on the back reassuringly: "It's okay, good boy, it's okay..."

After a while, Lin Juan calmed down slowly, his head still resting on Wen Qiuyu's arms, without moving.

Wen Qiuyu winked at her son, Qiao Ji quickly understood, stretched out her hand cautiously, and took out the cell phone from Lin Juan's pocket bit by bit.

When he held the phone in his hand, he felt his back was wet with sweat.

The phone was still vibrating, and it was Qi Qing's name that was written on the caller ID.

Qiao Ji answered the phone without thinking, "I'm Qiao Ji."

Qi Qing on the other side of the phone was obviously stunned for a while, before saying, "Mr. Qiao?"

"Yes, Lin Juan is here now." Qiao Ji was clearly relieved when he heard Qi Qing on the other side.

"Excuse me, Mr. Joe, where are you now? I'll be there right away."

"It's on the commercial street next to the film and television base." Qiao Ji reported the address quickly, glanced at the young man who was being comforted by her queen, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Don't worry, he's fine, I'll let him go first eat something."

"Thank you." Qi Qing solemnly thanked, "I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and put the phone back into Lin Juan's hand: "Okay, stop acting like a baby, I haven't been hugged by my mother before."

Wen Qiuyu laughed: "Is this my son jealous?"

"That's right!"

"What's there to be jealous of with this child." She patted Lin Juan's head with regret in her tone, "What a pity for such a beautiful child."

Qiao Ji's heart moved slightly, but he didn't think about it.He didn't bother to explain to his Lady Queen how amazing this "unfortunate child" was.

The bread and hot water were delivered soon, and Qiao Ji coaxed Lin Juan to eat some, but Qi Qing, who said he would arrive soon, had not yet appeared.

Qiao Ji glanced at the time, almost half an hour had passed.

Looking at Lin Juan who was eating happily, he couldn't help but tease: "Your Highness, where is your knight?"

Lin Juan ignored him at all.

Qiao Ji didn't care either, and stared at the door while eating his meal absent-mindedly.

Then he saw a young man in a light gray suit walk in.

The young man was already handsome, but the arrogance unique to the superior made him stand out from the crowd.Qiao Ji recognized this person.

Lin Mo, the current boss and president of Tianxing Entertainment, is a man at the top of the entertainment industry.

Qiao Ji raised his eyebrows, watching the other party walk in front of him.

"Mr. Joe?"

"Hi Mr. Lin." Qiao Ji stood up and held out his hand.

Lin Mo shook his hand back, and his eyes naturally fell on Wen Qiuyu. He seemed a little surprised, but he concealed it well, and immediately said gracefully: "Ms. Wen, I didn't expect to see you here today. , what an honor."

"Boss Lin is joking, I am an old woman, how can I be honored or not?"

"In any case, Ms. Wen's style is still the same as before. If you intend to come back, please give priority to our Tianxing."

Qiao Ji could tell that Her Lady Queen was very happy to be coaxed.

But he had to interrupt the two of them: "Boss Lin, you are..."

"I'm here to pick up my younger brother. I'm sorry for disturbing you two. I will come to the door some other day to apologize and thank you." Lin Mo said, bent down and kissed Lin Juan's face, then rubbed his head, " Xiaojuan, go home."

Lin Juan obediently put down the bread in his hand that was bitten like a dog, and stood up.

Qiao Ji watched all this in amazement, and had to believe that Lin Mo was indeed Lin Juan's elder brother.

"Also..." Lin Juan's elder brother suddenly turned his head, "I don't know if Mr. Qiao will let him go or not, so let's take a step to talk?"

Qiao Ji was taken aback, but didn't show it, just smiled: "Of course."

***

Qi Qing was waiting outside the door, Lin Mo came out with Lin Juan, and he went forward to take Lin Juan away.Qiao Ji folded his hands and watched from the side, not in a hurry.

He could see that Lin Mo's visitor was not kind, but he had nothing to be afraid of, anyway, he had helped Lin Juan once.

Lin Mo turned around and saw Qiao Ji's expression. He smiled, and there was a bit of contempt in his smile.

Qiao Ji felt that his anger value was rising.

"I'm afraid Mr. Qiao is not willing to listen to me going around in circles, so I'll just say it straight."

"Please say."

Lin Mo looked at Qiao Ji with the same smile, but it was a bit colder: "The situation of Xiaojuan is indeed a bit special, I don't deny it. But I didn't disclose it to the public, just because I don't want to have any influence on him, it doesn't mean I really It is taboo for the outside world to know about this matter. I don't know what Mr. Qiao wants to do, but I ask Mr. Qiao to stop."

Qiao Ji frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I just hope that Mr. Qiao can understand how a brother protects his younger brother. I will not ask you to delete the photos in Mr. Qiao's mobile phone, but if you have any questions, you may wish to ask me directly; if you need anything, you may wish to contact me I said."

Qiao Ji finally understood that Lin Mo was warning him.

Whether it was the previous temptation or the sneak shot, Qi Qing saw it all and didn't make a sound, just because he was waiting for himself to speak.It's not that they are defenseless, they are just planning to strike later.

"I think Mr. Lin misunderstood."

"Really?" Lin Mo's tone was very flat, "Of course it's the best misunderstanding, and it would be even better if misunderstandings don't happen in the future."

Qiao Ji snorted and laughed: "Boss Lin can rest assured."

After that, he turned and walked back into the restaurant.Anyway, his face was torn, so there was no need to continue to pretend to be polite.

He was afraid that he would not be able to resist hitting that person.

Qiao Ji felt that he had never tried to be so angry, even when Lin Juan pointed at him and asked to change roles that day.

When he first secretly took the photos, he really thought about making the photos public; when he discovered Lin Juan's secret later, he didn't think about exchanging the secret for something.But that was just a passing thought, and he didn't bother to do it.

Today, it was only because of a moment of soft-heartedness that he would pull Lin Juan.

But in Lin Mo's eyes, everything turned out to be scheming.

Qiao Ji felt insulted.
