After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Sea Vessel Auction

Mentioning Mo Jiu, Qin Jiangsheng just gave an indifferent “Oh”.

Qu Rong knew his temperament well, if he could take action, he definitely wouldn’t bother with much talk.

Still, he replied with a grin, “Young Master Qin, I forgot to tell you something important when I called you last time. Ninth Young Master wants you to set up Bai Tingyu and Ji Tian together. It seems like the Bai Family and the Ji Family’s older generation has exchanged an engagement token.”

Hearing Ji Tian’s name, a flicker of emotion passed through his indifferent tea-colored eyes as he asked without changing his expression, “And then?”

“Just get the two families engaged, stir up the waters of Capital City a bit. By then, the Gong Family and the Quan Family will start to worry.”

“Mm, alright.”

Hearing his agreement, Qu Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“By the way, there’s an ocean auction next month, initiated by the Wen Family. I heard they have a treasure related to the world’s mysterious Ancient Martial Families. It’s said to be an Inheritance Order. Some families only recognize the order, not the person. Several families from Central Continent have taken action, and the Qin Family has sent someone too. Ninth Young Master’s intentions are for you to go and you must secure this treasure; you’re allowed only success, not failure.”

Inheritance Order?

How could the Inheritance Order of a mysterious Ancient Martial Family possibly appear in a place like Capital City? And the Wen Family was not far from bankruptcy; they probably wanted to use this auction to make a comeback.

The Wen Family Master must understand the principle that it is no crime to be a common man, but a crime to carry a jade. Instead of waiting for others to rob it, it is better to auction it off openly, but whether the treasure is real or fake remains unknown.

He replied indifferently again, “Understood.”

Confident in Qin Jiangsheng’s involvement, Qu Rong said, “Then I’ll go and arrange it for you.” Suddenly recalling their last conversation, he smiled mischievously, “Young Master Qin, did you confess to the girl you said you liked last time?”

“No,” Qin Jiangsheng said slowly. “She confessed to me.”

Qu Rong: “???”

“Who is she, so bold? Did you accept?”

Qin Jiangsheng looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: “What business is it of yours?”

Qu Rong was brushed off, but his curiosity was still aflame, “All right, what’s wrong with a brother being concerned? With me as the love advisor, among three pairs of lovers, two will succeed.”

Qin Jiangsheng looked out the window, “Not needed.”

“Tsks, you’re not at all charming. Which blind girl could fall for an ice block like you?”

He chose to ignore Qu Rong, his mind pondering why Mo Jiu had tasked him with matchmaking Bai Tingyu and Ji Tian.

Heh, he would certainly matchmake them well!

…

Three hours later, Uncle Zhou parked the car next to Ji Family’s grand villa’s central garden: “Miss, we’re home.”

Ji Tian sucked in some saliva and yawned as she got out of the car: “Thanks, Uncle Zhou, for the hard work.”

Uncle Zhou was pleasantly surprised, “Not at all, not at all.”

“Good baby, mommy missed you so much.” Qiao Luhua heard the commotion outside and ran out to embrace Ji Tian tightly in her arms.

This heavy maternal love nearly suffocated her, “Mom, let go first, I can barely breathe.”

Ji Yanshang watched this without words, his mouth twitching, “Go easy with the strength.”

Qiao Luhua let go, apologizing, “Sorry, I got too excited.”

Ji Tian rubbed her shoulder, complaining, “You’d think you had some training, to be so strong.”

As the three of them walked to the living room, Qiao Luhua tentatively asked, “Did you have fun these past five days?”

Ji Tian shook her head directly, “No fun at all, don’t sign me up for the next one!”

“…”

“This is great, isn’t it? You get to play and learn, you’ve got strength, many talents, and you’re smart — that part you get from me.”

Ji Tian: “…”

Last time, Qiao Luhua said they were dumb like their dad.

Ji Yanshang just looked at her indulgently and smiled. When Qiao Luhua gave him a signal, he immediately became serious, “Tomorrow is Tuesday, you need to go to school and can’t keep playing around.”

“And next week is your midterm exam. Grades are very important, if you do poorly, I won’t spend more money to keep you in the top class.”

Ji Yanshang had intended to make Ji Tian realize that not studying well would only be embarrassing at school.

But to his surprise, her eyes lit up, “Really? Can I go to Class Eight?”

Ji Yanshang: “…?”

“Why would you want to go to Class Eight?”

“Because Qin Jiangsheng is there!”

The sudden interjection of the young man’s voice made Ji Tian pause.

She turned to see Ji Weinan walking out with a cold face and a limp, arching an eyebrow. Not seeing him for two days felt like half a year.

“Xiao Qin is in Class Eight?” Qiao Luhua exclaimed in surprise.

“Hmph.” Ji Weinan snorted coldly, “What else do you think her wanting to go to Class Eight could be about? She’s in my way, and now she’s thinking about dating!”

Ji Tian had thought Ji Weinan might have felt a bit guilty upon her return, but seeing the situation now, it seemed like he was just scapegoating her after getting disciplined himself.

She glanced at him annoyed and sneered equally coldly, “Did you graduate from a culinary school? So good at passing the buck? When did I ever say I wanted to date someone? Qin Jiangsheng and I are just good friends, unlike you, not studying well and using your brains for everything else!”

“You…”

“Enough! Third child, have you forgotten your promise to me?” Ji Yanshang spoke up, effectively silencing Ji Weinan.

He hung his head, murmuring resentfully, “I know…”

Seeing the at-odds siblings, he was truly getting a headache, “Go inside, both of you. Arguing out here, what kind of behavior is that?”

Ji Tian returned to her room with her luggage, threw herself onto her long-missed princess bed, and sighed, “Dear bed, five days off, I missed you like crazy!”

“Knock knock.” Hearing a knock at the door, Ji Tian turned to see Ji Weinan standing expressionlessly at the doorway, his eyes somewhat speechless, having clearly overheard Ji Tian’s monologue.

Ji Tian sat up straight, asking, “What do you want?”

Ji Weinan paused at the door for a moment, then placed a set of Grade Five Semester Three examination papers on her desk, “This is what you bought for me last time. I’ve finished them. Consider it compensation for the mistake that night.”

Ji Tian raised an eyebrow, “Hold on, the questions were completed by you, how can that count as compensating me? Who knows if you copied them or did them yourself? There’s no sincerity in that.”

Ji Weinan felt a bit guilty, but thinking back to the incident that day, he felt a surge of anger as well.

His liking Shen Zhiyi was his business. What right did Ji Tian have to meddle?

And that day, all she did was fall down, while Shen Zhiyi almost lost her life rolling down a slope!

Because of Ji Tian, he was beaten and made to kneel until his knees turned blue. If he hadn’t fainted and been taken to the hospital, the punishment would not have stopped.

They were all family. Why was everyone favoring Ji Tian? Even if they were twins born together, it wasn’t his fault Ji Tian was frail as a child. Could he be blamed for that?

He had initially felt very guilty for not taking care of Ji Tian, but now he only felt that all his misfortunes were brought upon him by her.

So he gritted his teeth and threatened sharply, “From now on, whatever I want to do, please don’t meddle. Whom I like is also my business, whatever bitter consequences, I’ll swallow them myself; it’s none of your business.”

After a while, Ji Tian laughed lightly, her voice slightly cold, “Fine.”
