Chapter 131 Ji Song was somewhat dazed

He knew this Ji Song.

It seems that Lin Shuangyu went to seek refuge with him after leaving Haicheng.

That makes sense; no wonder we can't find her anywhere in China.

The area around Aocheng is generally inaccessible to ordinary people.

But what does Ji Song mean by coming out and exposing Lin Shuangyu again? He even brought up Lin Shuangyu's past involvement in murder cases.

Lin Shuangyu went to an art school, not the same school as Song Yan and the others. Jiang Wang remembered that Ji Song also studied art, painting.

In Haicheng, it's possible that he and Lin Shuangyu went to the same school.

He replied to Si Yuan: "Ignore him, I'll check it out."

Si Yuan saw the message before going to sleep and replied with an "okay".

——

The next day, Si Yuan received an invitation from a gallery, hoping to collaborate with her on the gallery's art renovation work.

After winning the award last time, many people wanted to collaborate with Si Yuan, but she was also busy with Liu Yanrui about setting up the HC branch, so she basically declined them all.

However, this gallery is very famous in Beijing. After hearing about it, Liu Yanrui suggested that she take it on, which would not only increase the number of cases to be displayed after the company is established, but also enrich Si Yuan's personal resume.

Si Yuan thought about it and agreed that it made sense, so she immediately replied to the gallery.

After agreeing on a time, Si Yuan went to the gallery that afternoon.

The gallery is located in an old house from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the entire exhibition features traditional Chinese paintings, creating a strong sense of Eastern aesthetics.

But the person who received the man was a Japanese woman.

Si Yuan followed her on a tour and tentatively finalized a preliminary renovation plan. The next step was to sign the contract.

The other party offered a very high price.

Si Yuan couldn't help but be a little skeptical: "This is almost as expensive as renovations. It's just some artistic landscaping, it doesn't need to be this expensive."

The Japanese woman spoke fluent Chinese: "Our boss instructed us that your expertise and reputation are worth the money."

Apart from the price, Si Yuan didn't notice anything unusual, so he signed the document.

The contract stipulated that construction would begin three days later.

TY Company also has a branch office in Beijing. Si Yuan has not yet left TY, so he is taking on the work as the director of the art installation department of the branch office.

On the third day, Si Yuan arrived at the gallery with his people, and the Japanese woman also came when they were taking measurements.

“Our boss wasn’t here when we last talked, but he’s back today and wants to see you.”

boss?

Si Yuan handed the ruler to the other designers and followed the boss upstairs.

Upon entering, Si Yuan first noticed the bleached blonde hair.

Si Yuan truly hadn't expected that this person would be Ji Song.

Ji Song turned around, raised an eyebrow, and feigned surprise, saying, "So it's Miss Si, what a coincidence!"

Si Yuan said expressionlessly, "What a coincidence, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Don't put it so harshly. Don't you believe there's no such thing as fate in this world?"

“I believe you,” Si Yuan said coldly, “but I don’t believe we have any connection.”

"You only believe Jiang Wang?"

Si Yuan disliked his slightly dangerous way of speaking to her; she sensed that Ji Song and Lin Shuangyu were the same kind of people.

Thinking he had people under his control, he was able to manipulate them with ease, and he wanted to see if they would break down with every word he said.

But now Si Yuan will not be affected by these words.

She glanced at him and asked, "You're mixed race, but you dyed your hair on purpose, didn't you? Trying to look more French?"

Ji Song's expression changed.

Si Yuan added insult to injury: "Using this method is too troublesome."

She paused, then said, "You wouldn't... open this gallery for this reason, would you? If so, you should open an oil painting gallery, not a traditional Chinese painting gallery."

Ji Song narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very displeased.

How well do Lin Shuangyu and Si Yuan know each other?

Wasn't it said that this woman was easily defeated and had a sensitive heart?

He's not sensitive when it comes to stabbing a knife into his heart.

With just a few words, he revealed what he cared about most.

Ji Song's mother is French, and his parents divorced a long time ago. His maternal grandfather and mother always looked down on him and his father.

Ji Song lacked maternal love, so he did indeed despise his own bloodline and tried to change it in appearance.

He realized what was happening and forced a smile: "Then please help me make some changes to highlight my lineage, Miss Si."

Si Yuan smiled and said, "So you offered such a high price because you were afraid I would breach the contract?"

"Jiang Wang has really trained you to be very clever."

Si Yuan was too lazy to waste words with him: "Tell me, what's the deal with Lin Shuangyu?"

Ji Song's fingertips traced the carvings on the mahogany desk, his eyes gleaming with calculation: "So it seems Miss Si is tempted, agreeing to join me in framing Lin Shuangyu?"

Si Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Isn't Lin Shuangyu in cahoots with you? If you really hated her as much as I do, she wouldn't even be able to avoid you, let alone openly pledge allegiance to you?"

“Miss Si’s words are biased.” Ji Song leaned back in his chair and said slowly, “She and I are alumni, and I was just helping her out. But I find her to be a very annoying person. She always brings up past events and threatens me to do something to you. I really don’t want to be led by the nose by her. What if she takes a liking to someone else in the future and continues to…”

Si Yuan's eyes darkened slightly: "I have no interest in hearing about your grudges."

"So, getting back to the point..." Ji Song leaned forward, his tone coaxing, "Do you want to kill Lin Shuangyu?"

Before she could finish speaking, Si Yuan's phone suddenly vibrated, and Jiang Wang's name appeared on the screen.

She didn't answer, but immediately muted the phone. She looked up at Ji Song and said, "I don't have the ability to kill anyone. I just want Lin Shuangyu to pay the price he deserves. Give me the evidence if you want, or don't.

Ji Song was interrupted, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

But Si Yuan wasn't going to waste any more time with her, so she got up and walked towards the door.

After trying for ages, I couldn't get a single useful word out of him.

Si Yuan was no longer willing to waste time talking nonsense with him.

As soon as she came out, Si Yuan sent a message to Jiang Wang: "Ji Song is the owner of the 'Qinghexuan' gallery in Beijing. I took his design order."

Two seconds after the message was sent, Jiang Wang called.

"Stop doing it."

Jiang Wang had just boarded the private jet when he said succinctly, "Ji Song is a very cunning man. I can't figure out what he's up to. I'll wait until I get back."

Si Yuan smiled and said, "The contract has already been signed. Why not make money if it's too good to pass up?"

She paused, then added, "When you investigated Ji Song, did you discover any other connections between him and Lin Shuangyu besides their alumni relationship?"

"We haven't found anything substantial yet." Jiang Wang nodded. "You also suspect a connection with Lin Shuangyu from your university days?"

"Um."

Jiang Wang smiled slightly: "Baby is so smart. Something did happen to Lin Shuangyu when she was in college."

"What?"

"I'll tell you when I get back, the plane is about to take off."

Si Yuan agreed and was about to hang up the phone.

Did you miss me?

Si Yuan smiled and said, "I do, come back soon."

"wait for me."

"Um."

——

A few days later, the design was finalized, and Si Yuan and his team arrived on time.

The old house of Qinghexuan is well-preserved, with wooden beams and pillars bearing the warmth of time. However, the existing display is too dull and does not match the French style that Ji Song wanted.

Ji Song was also present, wearing a beige suit and his hair was neatly combed, but his blond hair still looked out of place in the antique courtyard.

He stood to the side with his arms crossed: "Miss Si, how do you plan to proceed?"

Si Yuan pointed to the beam in the main hall: "We'll preserve the wooden structure, use light gray linen as the upholstered background, and outline it with copper lines. This will preserve the charm of the old house while bringing out a touch of French simplicity..."

She then pointed to the courtyard in the backyard: "Build a glass greenhouse here as a relaxation area, with ink painting and floral fragrance."

Ji Song raised an eyebrow and commented, "Not bad, it has style."

The team members each performed their duties, and the scene became busy in an orderly manner.

Si Yuan was extremely focused when she was working, and Ji Song would always follow behind her.

Si Yuan didn't understand her intentions and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Ji Song originally intended to annoy Si Yuan, but she was a little too focused.

Seeing Si Yuan's serious expression, Ji Song was somewhat distracted.

He originally thought Si Yuan was just a pretty face who rose to power through Jiang Wangquan's connections, but he didn't expect her to actually have some talent.

As evening approached, all the workers had already left for the day, but Si Yuan stayed behind to check the materials list one last time.

Ji Song suddenly walked over and handed him a cup of coffee: "Want to try some? French Blue Mountain."

Si Yuan didn't even look at him and didn't take it: "Thank you, but I don't drink it."

"Don't worry, there was no poison or medicine added."

"We both know the truth, so there's no need to keep pretending, right?"

Si Yuan put away the list and turned to leave, but Ji Song stopped her.

His fingertips almost touched her arm. Si Yuan subconsciously took a step back, her eyes turning cold: "President Ji, please be mindful of your behavior."

Ji Song stared into her clear yet distant eyes and suddenly said, "Jiang Wang probably genuinely likes you. If Lin Shuangyu knew, he would probably be furious."
