In the afternoon, Ji Qianqian sent me a message saying that she had already transferred the money to Ding Ning.

I was completely dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that this person would actually take it seriously.

I called Ji Qianqian, "Miss Ji, I think there might be a misunderstanding here. The Ding family and I haven't actually signed any agreement, this money..."

"I know."

Ji Qianqian interrupted me, her voice filled with cheerfulness.

"Actually, this money isn't for buying you."

"Then what is it for?"

"Thank you to the Ding family for raising you."

I was stunned.

I wanted to ask more, but suddenly, I heard someone else's voice on the other end of the phone.

The girl responded with a "okay", and then she told me, "We're having a meeting right now, we'll talk when you come to pick me up from work at seven tonight."

The phone hung up.

Listening to the beeping sound on the other end, I felt a bit confused.

What did she say?

Pick her up from work?

When did I ever say I would pick her up!

Originally, I had made plans with Chen Yi to have hotpot at home tonight.

Considering Ji Qianqian had a meeting, I sent the girl a message.

"I have something to do tonight, let's talk about it another day."

But I waited until six thirty and still didn't receive a reply from Ji Qianqian.

"Why are you constantly checking your phone?"

I quickly put away my phone, "It's nothing."

After a few minutes, I still couldn't sit still.

"Chen Yi, I have to pick someone up at seven, let's have hotpot another day."

After saying that, I put on my coat and was about to leave when Chen Yi pulled me back, "Come on, buddy, you're not regretting it and going to see that little princess again, are you?"

"No."

Seeing Chen Yi's distrustful eyes, I scratched my head, "Really, this time... it's a big misunderstanding."

A big misunderstanding that cost twenty million.

When I arrived, Ji Qianqian had just finished the meeting. She was looking down at her phone, her brow furrowed, her face serious.

A row of high-ranking executives followed behind her, hurrying to report something.

Truly a rich family's daughter, even though she had a cute baby face, at this moment, she exuded an imposing aura.

I felt a bit hesitant.

Because I knew, just like Ding Ning, Ji Qianqian and I were not from the same world.

I shouldn't have come.

Sighing, I was about to leave when Ji Qianqian looked up and saw me.

Her initially tense face suddenly broke into a smile. The girl lowered her head and said a few words to the person beside her, then stepped towards me with small steps.

"Didn't I tell you not to come?"

I furrowed my brows, "So you saw the message I sent you, but intentionally didn't reply?"

Ji Qianqian innocently wiggled her phone, "Just saw it."

Forget it.

I sighed, "Since we've met, let's talk it out. I can't repay twenty million, but I can help you get the money back from Ding Ning. My relationship with her has nothing to do with you. Thank you for taking me in that night."

After I finished speaking, Ji Qianqian grabbed onto me, "Don't go find her."

"Huh?"

Ji Qianqian's voice sounded forceful, "Since Ding Ning said that this money can repay your gratitude, then from now on, can you forget about her and live for yourself?"

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

In Ji Qianqian's gaze, I could see myself.

At this moment, I felt a bit surreal.

"So you knew about my family's debt to the Ding family, and that night, you intentionally said those things?"

I looked at her, "Who are you exactly, and why are you doing this for me?"

Ji Qianqian lowered her eyes, "Perhaps, I'm just someone who likes you?"
