After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 195 - 194: Want to Seek Peace with Me?

Shen Zhiyi’s expression was almost torn apart, but Ji Qilin’s perplexed look seemed genuine, choking her with immense discomfort inside!

After a pause for three seconds, she took up the conversation, "She hasn’t passed away, she is receiving treatment in the hospital. Brother Qilin, the reason I am researching this anti-cancer agent with you is for my mom... So, whether we can succeed is very important to me."

She shifted the topic, subtly informing Ji Qilin that the experiment was crucial to whether her mother could recover and improve.

Therefore, she did not want him to indulge Ji Tian in interrupting their experiment.

Ji Qilin’s gaze fell on Ji Tian, who was once again fiddling with other agents, studying each one like a curious baby.

Then, with a mild smile, he said, "Zhuyi, you have essential things to protect, and I also have important people to protect. For you, it’s about curing your mom, and for me, it’s about hoping Tiantian is forever happy."

Shen Zhiyi’s eyelashes trembled, her lips quivered, and she struggled to speak, "I know how much effort you have put into this experiment. You have stayed up all night to research whether the drugs interact, and the shaken agent she holds is the result of your multiplied sweat. If... I say if, because of Ji Tian’s interference, would you give up this research?"

"I would," he responded without even hesitating, still smiling, "If the experiment fails, we can redo it, but there’s only one Tiantian."

Shen Zhiyi had nothing more to say.

Insane! A bunch of lunatics!

Is Ji Tian really that great?

She is the real "Child of Destiny". Why is everyone revolving around Ji Tian?

Destroying one’s future for a disposable character seemed like the stupidest thing to her, and Ji Weinan had also ceased interacting with her out of consideration for Ji Tian. However, she didn’t care anymore; 008 had also said that now there was no need to continue with the plot. She just had to ensure the world’s outcome aligned.

To understand Ji Qilin’s experiment, Ji Tian had even specially looked up a lot of information, finding some concepts profoundly elusive that required explanations from professionals.

She put the agent back in its place, looked at Ji Qilin, and asked, "Big brother, can I come here every day? I’ve suddenly become very interested in what you’re researching."

Ji Qilin blinked, somewhat astounded, "Aren’t you uninterested in medicine? This topic is somewhat complex, and you’ll need to learn this field’s knowledge to understand what I explain."

Ji Tian pouted, "Then just tell me whether it’s possible or not. I can learn with you, you teach me."

"Okay," Ji Qilin said straightforwardly, "But learning this is tiring. You’re still studying high school courses; are you sure you want to learn?"

Ji Tian nodded assertively. Seeing her so interested, Ji Qilin thought for a moment before adding, "How about this: I am at work during the day and have no time, I’ll teach you after I return home in the evening, and you can come to my lab on weekends to work with me."

What a fortuitous opportunity!

To have her workaholic big brother come back home to teach her!

"Sure, I can do that, big brother. Don’t worry, I will study hard and won’t embarrass you."

"Cheeky, I’ll take you out to eat."

"I want to eat hotpot at the biggest mall in Capital City."

"Sure, as you wish."

The atmosphere between the siblings was warm, as Shen Zhiyi gently bit her lip.

Just now, Ji Qilin’s affection value for her had increased by one point. Was that supposed to show he liked her? His words had almost infuriated her to death. She even wondered if there was a problem backstage.

Ji Qilin wasn’t coming in to work tonight. When would this agent be developed?

Thinking about this, she felt a bit annoyed and shyly said, "Brother Qilin, I mentioned inviting you for a meal last time. How about taking this opportunity? I’d like to invite you and Ji Tian, too."

Shen Zhiyi looked at Ji Tian, her smile clean and clear, "Is that okay, Ji Tian?"

Ji Tian gave a slight smile, "Of course it’s okay. Since you’ve invited me, you won’t mind inviting one more, right?" She looked towards Quan Ke, "Sister Ke, do you want to come along?"

Just as Quan Ke was about to decline, she saw Ji Qilin frown, which annoyed her. She smiled with her lips curled, "Shen, you don’t mind having one more, right?"

Quan Ke was Quan Jingyou’s sister. Shen Zhiyi only wanted to establish a good relationship; she still needed to find a way to get close to Quan Jingyou. So, she quickly nodded, "Of course, I’d be happy to have you."

Since Shen Zhiyi was hosting, it was entirely up to her whom to invite. Although he didn’t want to be around Quan Ke — that woman was sick in the head.

Ji Qilin went to drive the car, which he parked in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall.

After Ji Tian got out of the car, she saw her elder brother’s Pagani again. The license plate was different, and she scratched her head in bewilderment, "Are there so many cars of the same model as my brother’s? I’ve seen three identical ones, except for the plate."

Ji Qilin glanced at it briefly and chuckled, "Okay, stop focusing on your brother. The dining area is on the fifth floor; let’s take the elevator up."

Without objections, they quickly arrived at the entrance of a hotpot restaurant. Next door, there were beef hotpot, teppanyaki, and barbecue.

All Ji Tian wanted was to have a spicy hotpot in such cold weather.

The heating was on inside. Ji Qilin walked in and took off a light brown wool coat, revealing a white shirt underneath with sleeves half-rolled up. He looked refined and elegant as he asked Ji Tian, "What would you like to drink? I can go buy it."

"No need, just sit here with Sister Ke. I’ll go buy it."

As Shen Zhiyi ordered the food and there was still time until the servings arrived, she hurriedly said, "Ji Tian, I’ll go with you."

Seeing Ji Tian leave, she smiled at Quan Ke and Ji Qilin and quickly followed out.

Quan Ke rested her elbow on the table and supported her chin with her hand, smiling amusedly, "This girl has a deep connection with the Ji family, you know? I heard from my brother that Ah Nan likes her, she works under you, and now she’s sticking to Tiantian, impossible to shake off."

Ji Qilin gave her a cold glance, "My family’s matters are none of your business."

Quan Ke wasn’t offended by his sharp words, instead, her smile grew wider, "Why are you so unhappy to see me, Qilin?"

Ji Qilin looked up, his expression disgusted, "Quan Ke, aren’t you annoying? From school to work, you’re the one I can’t shake off."

Quan Ke smiled with her eyes squinting, "Can’t help it, who made us neighbors? Going to the best schools, both studying the same major, getting assigned to the same institute — isn’t that perfectly normal?"

Normal? Ji Qilin found nothing normal about it. It seemed like she deliberately hovered before his eyes, and he couldn’t even find a place where he wouldn’t see her.

"Don’t make me sick."

"Tsk." Quan Ke lightly tsked, sipping tea from her small cup, "After all these years, still mad at me for calling you a wuss? You know, we’ve been at odds for so many years, I’m tired even if you’re not."

Ji Qilin’s gaze shifted, his slender phoenix eyes slightly raised, his expression mocking yet not quite smiling, "What? Looking to make peace with me?"
