Chapter 1482: How could a person be split into two?
Pei Ge held her crystal glass with reddened cheeks . The red wine in it swiveled . Her smile was captured and locked in the bottom of the man’s heart right then .
“Eat slowly . ” There was black pepper sauce on the woman’s chin . Ji Ziming reached out and took some tissue with laughter in his eyes . “You’re so old, yet you still make a mess when you eat . ”
The woman’s thick lashes fluttered . “I didn’t do it on purpose . ”
“Eat slowly . If it’s not enough, we’ll get another one . ”
“No need . One is enough . I ate too hastily, so it got onto my chin . ”
She did not move and let him gently clean her chin . This was the first time he had treated her so gently .
“It’s done . ” He threw the tissue paper into the bin and exchanged his cut steak with hers . “I’ve cut mine; it’s for you . ”
“I can cut it myself . ”
Pei Ge looked at her steak being taken by the man and hurriedly declined . “I’m not disabled . ”
“In my eyes, you are . ”
She had nothing to say as her beautiful eyes focused on the man . Her voice sounded touched when she spoke . “You’re so nice to me and I can’t leave you . ”
The man’s cold eyes darkened and narrowed . His features also became colder . “You want to leave?”
“Huh? No, no . ” She remembered that she had just promised him that she would not leave his side . Upon hearing her words, the aura around the man changed . Just before, the room temperature was at 26 degrees Celsius, but now, it was at negative 26 degrees Celsius .
“No, no . Hear me out . ” She quickly waved her hands, but it was already too late .
The man’s chilly eyes were fixated on her as his body inched closer to her . The frightening aura that he was exuding caused her to lean back slightly . “You’re leaving? Have I agreed to it?”
“No . Listen to me; I’m saying—”
Knock, knock! A series of knocks came from the door .
“Boss, I’m here to inform you that Old Lady Qu is waiting in the conference room for you . ”
Ji Ziming’s brows furrowed, and he said harshly, “I know . ”
The woman took this chance to get away from his mighty body, which was towering over her . “Go settle your matter . I won’t leave, so don’t worry . ”

He got up and yanked his tie, allowing him to breathe slightly better . He sounded harsh and cold . “You’d better stay put and not go anywhere!”
“I know; go on now . ” The woman nodded her head obediently, not wanting him to be like earlier .
“I’ll come back in a while . ” He picked up his jacket on the sofa and wore it with practiced ease . His long, slender legs, coupled with his handsome features, made the woman’s heart beat fast .
“I know . ” Pei Ge sat back on the sofa and looked at the delectable steak . She picked up her fork, but before she could place it in her mouth, the man’s voice sounded just as the door was about to close . “Eat slowly . ”
Her clear, watery eyes looked at the door which was closed slowly as well as the disappearing shadow outside . Looking at this enormous office, there was a slight disappointment in her heart .
Standing in the elevator, Ji Ziming’s cold eyes were on the metallic walls and his voice sounded aloof . “What is that old woman doing in my office?”
“I asked her, but she said that she came for work-related matters and told me to invite you over quickly . That’s why I got you to come . ” The secretary stood at one side with his head slightly lowered as he recalled the scene when that elderly woman came to the office earlier . “Could she be here for Miss Qu?”
“Whether or not, we’ll know when we get there . ”
Ding! The elevator doors opened, and the man strode outside with the secretary right behind him and arrived at the meeting room soon .
“Old Lady Qu, why didn’t you tell me that you’re coming to my office?”

“Young Master Ji, it’s a spontaneous decision to come here . Why must I inform you? It’s my honor that you’re coming to meet me . ”
“You’re being too polite; please have a seat . Serve her some tea . ”
“No need; I’m not thirsty . I’m looking for you to talk about Red Star . I heard that the price of acquisition, which they’re asking for, is four times the price of your company; is that true?”
Ji Ziming’s deep eyes darkened . Only internal staff who had seen the contract should know about this, so why did an outsider know it, too?
“It doesn’t matter whether this is true or false . Red Star’s annual revenue is one of the best in the industry . ”
“Young Master Ji, I hope that you remember that I’m still Qu Jingwan’s grandmother and you’re her fiancé . Then, you should know how I’m related to you . ”
The elderly woman shot the man a glance and captured all his emotions but could not comprehend the smile on his face . This smile froze her heart like the snow during winter .
“Remember the identity that you are assuming today as you seek me . ” The corner of Ji Ziming’s lips curled and his gaze became sharp . He sat on the sofa and exuded a kingly aura . “If you’re treating me as the CEO of the Ji Group, then I have nothing to say, but if you see me as your granddaughter’s fiancé, I, too, have nothing to say . ”
“You!” The old woman stared at him with an undulating chest . Her words were full of disdain . “You’re my granddaughter’s fiancé and that makes you half a member of my Qu family . What’s more; I, an elder person, came here to visit you, but not only are you disrespectful toward me, you’re treating your guest in this manner, too . ”
“I spoke wrongly . First and foremost, I’m this company’s CEO and all internal affairs are private and confidential . You’re a businesswoman so you should know such basic knowledge . Second, your granddaughter and I are merely betrothed in name . How could a person be in halves? I’m still a member of my family and your granddaughter is a member of yours . How can I tell others about my company’s private affairs?”

Chilliness filled the man’s eyes . The moment he heard this elderly woman’s opening gambit, he knew what she was here for . She was not here for work-related matters but for her granddaughter .
“You!” Old Lady Qu was infuriated, never having known that this young man was so hard to deal with . He was unwilling to give her face . She continued to sit there as she tried to get useful information from him .
“What you said doesn’t work . As your fiancée’s grandmother, what’s wrong with me being concerned about how she’s doing in your house . It’s a normal thing, and there’s no need for you to be so against it . ”
“It’s too grave for you to say that I’m against it . I’m not against it; our house’s doors are always open for you, and you can go there anytime to visit your granddaughter . ”
