Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife Chapter 1094 - 1092: Even a Cornered Rabbit Will Bite

Naturally, Zhu Zhizhou and his son did not gain any advantage from the Ji Family, but fortunately, the Ji Family were all civilized people. Wherever he went, he t only soft rejections, so apart from so verbal criticism, Zhu Zhizhou actually suffered no harm.

After Ji Dabao briskly handed him over to Director Chen, the three went about their respective business. After Zhu Zhizhou and his son discussed matters with Chen Jing and Director Chen, they turned around, hoping to invite mbers of the Ji Family for lunch. However, the secretary inford him, "Mr. Zhu, I’m sorry, but Mr. Ji and President Le have gone out to et clients and will be having lunch with them."

Zhu Zhizhou and his son felt very unwilling, so they booked a room at a hotel near Ji Family, thinking they would stay the night and try to arrange a eting with Ji Rui and his wife later in the evening.

At four in the afternoon, Zhu Zhizhou called Ji Rui.

"Hello, Mr. Ji, this is Zhu Zhizhou."

On the phone, Ji Rui was very polite. Having personally experienced the morning’s aggressive confrontation, Zhu Zhizhou could hardly imagine the man on the phone was the sa person.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu, have you returned to L City?"

"Mr. Ji, Ah Jing and I are still in R City. Do you have ti this evening? We hope to invite Mr. Ji and President Le to dinner." Zhu Zhizhou dared not ntion anything on the phone, whether business or personal matters.

"Mr. Zhu, I’m very sorry. My wife and I promised our two little treasures that we would go ho to have dinner with them, as you know, we as parents cannot break our promises."

Over the years, Zhu Zhizhou had heard many excuses for declining. Only President Ji dared use toddlers as a blatant excuse to refuse people.

Yet, he dared not criticize anything.

"Is that so? Mr. Ji, you are right; as parents, we must keep our promises. How about lunch tomorrow?"

After traveling to R City specifically, with neither public nor private affairs gaining any benefit, how could Zhu Zhizhou be content?

On the other end, there was the sound of typing on a keyboard, followed by Ji Rui’s apologetic voice, "Mr. Zhu, I’m truly sorry. My wife and I have to go on a business trip tomorrow and won’t be back for at least a week."

Regardless of whether Ji Rui’s words were true, the fact that he did not wish to dine with him was undeniable.

Though angry, Zhu Zhizhou could only suppress his frustration, smilingly saying, "Is that so? Well then, it looks like it’s not the right ti for us. We’ll make plans next ti."

Ji Rui was very polite, "Okay, okay, or we could arrange to et next ti in L City."

Qian Zhizhou knew Ji Rui’s "or" was re pleasantry, not even worth considering, let alone believing.

Yet, what could he do about it?

Feeling utterly frustrated, Zhu Zhizhou, after hanging up the phone, vented his anger on Chen Jing, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Look at your two daughters; they’re impressive indeed, one climbed the Yan Family, the other the Ji Family. Yet, both are ingrates, finding good families and forgetting their own!"

Chen Jing stared at the TV screen, ignoring him.

Recently, she was just like before, taking verbal abuse without retorting. Yet, Zhu Zhizhou felt sohow she was different.

This thought crossed Zhu Zhizhou’s mind, but he didn’t investigate further. Seeing her silent, he continued to scold.

"Young Master Yan is remarkable. I knew that all along. The Ji Family shouldn’t be this formidable, unless you and your daughter told them sothing beforehand?"

Zhu Zhizhou said this, lunging forward to grab Chen Jing’s arm, his gaze viciously focused on her.

Fortunately, he only had one functional hand. Chen Jing slightly struggled, broke free from his grip, and darted to the other side of the sofa.

"I don’t even know that Xiao Yu has a boyfriend. How could I possibly have said anything to the Ji Family beforehand?"

Chen Jing seldom argued back. This surprised Zhu Zhizhou.

Considering it, Chen Jing’s explanation made sense. With her pathetic state, how could she have done sothing so shrewd?

"If not you, then it’s that rotten girl Ying’er."

Thinking of his daughter Zhu Qianying made Zhu Zhizhou clench his teeth for a long while.

If not for her, Young Master Yan wouldn’t have issued that "true love statent," effectively trapping him.

"Isn’t Ying’er busy preparing for the wedding? She hasn’t been ho for days. How would she find the ti for this?"

Previously, whether Zhu Zhizhou or several mistresses disparaged her daughters in front of her, it upset her, but she never verbally refuted them.

Now, having lost heart with Zhu Zhizhou and the Zhu Family, her maternal instincts were gradually surfacing.

She wouldn’t stand being spoken of this way about her elder daughter.

"Oh, now that your two daughters are accomplished and found good families, you have beco bold too? Dare to talk back?"

Zhu Zhizhou squinted, advancing toward Chen Jing.

Fear welled up in Chen Jing’s heart, but she didn’t want to back down, though seeing Zhu Zhizhou’s inevitable advance, she abruptly stood up. Her mind blank, pressured tightly, instinctively, she lunged toward the door, opened it, and fled.

After being injured by Ji Huan, having been in the hospital for days, and discharged forcefully yesterday, Zhu Zhizhou’s body was still weak. Realizing Chen Jing had run out, hurriedly gasping, he chased after her to the elevator, just as the door closed.

By the ti he rode the elevator to the hotel lobby, Chen Jing was nowhere to be seen.

anwhile, Chen Jing hurried downstairs, imdiately hailed a cab, "Miss, where to?"

"R University." Chen Jing knew only her younger daughter Xiao Yu was attending R University but couldn’t recall which departnt.

"May I ask which entrance to R University?"

Chen Jing didn’t know which entrance, "Driver, wherever is close, take there."

Chen Jing felt her pocket, luckily finding her phone and so change, enough for the cab fare to R University.

Sitting in the cab for about ten minutes, Chen Jing cald down and took out her phone, dialing her daughter.

The phone rang twice before Zhu Qianyu’s suppressed voice echoed, "Mom, I’m in class. Call later!"

With that, the phone hung up.

Perplexed for a mont, Chen Jing decided to send a ssage.

Her ssage sent out in seconds, the phone rang.

On caller display was Xiao Yu.

"Mom, why did you suddenly co over? Does Sister know? Is it because Auntie and the others bullied you again?"

Qian Yu’s barrage of questions left Chen Jing unsure how to answer.

"Mom, say sothing!" Qian Yu’s voice was urgent.

"Xiao Yu, I’m alright. I’ll be getting off at the South Gate. Could you excuse yourself to et ?"
