Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 129 Baobao, Do You Love Daddy?
Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Baobao, Do You Love Daddy?
Le Tong had originally planned to invite Luo Yuanyuan on Saturday to help pick out a dress. Of course, she didn’t have the means or intention to buy that dress costing two hundred and eighty thousand, but she couldn’t opt for something too shabby either. So, she thought of renting a set to get by.
A decent dress, even just renting for a day, was already a sizable amount for Le Tong, and for that significant expenditure, she had felt quite pained for several days.
Just as she was about to call Luo Yuanyuan to look at dresses, a courier delivered a beautifully packaged parcel.
Le Tong did not have the habit of shopping online, so she was quite puzzled. She carefully checked the receipt at the time of signing, and it indeed showed her as the recipient, while the sender was Luo Yifan.
Le Tong found it odd; though Luo Yifan was undeniably a rich young man, he treated her sincerely. If he really wanted to give her something, he would most likely deliver it personally. Was it because he wasn’t in R City that he sent it via courier?
Moreover, Luo Yifan only sent her gifts on her birthday, and it was still some time until her birthday now, so what exactly was this parcel?
It was still working hours, but Le Tong couldn’t hold back her curiosity. As soon as the courier left, she cut open the wrapping paper. When she saw the purple evening dress inside, her mouth dropped open in shock, unable to close for quite a while.
Certainly, this evening dress wasn’t the one she had her eye on that day, but the color was almost identical, and the style had a similar flair.
Le Tong had never owned such a beautiful dress before; perhaps it was a woman’s inherent love for beauty at play. Looking at the gorgeous dress, she felt a nervous itch and couldn’t help but reach out to touch it, then held it up against herself.
"It’s work time now, what are you doing?"
Ji Rui’s cold voice suddenly came from behind. Le Tong was startled and quickly stood up to explain.
"President, this is a parcel I just received. I just wanted to confirm if the item matches the description."
Ji Rui’s grim gaze swept over the excessively beautiful dress. Although he had never bought such clothing, his intuition told him the dress was expensive.
Could Le Tong afford such an expensive dress?
Even if she could, would such a stingy person spend money on it?
Using the process of elimination, Ji Rui was convinced that this dress was definitely a gift from someone else.
And who was the person who sent her such an expensive evening dress?
Was it Yang Sheng? Zhuo Jiarui? Or perhaps Zhong Hao, who had been in his office for three days?
No matter who it was among these three, all had the financial capacity.
However, Yang Sheng didn’t seem like someone who would give such an expensive gift; he most frequently invited Le Tong out for meals.
As for Zhuo Jiarui, ever since he hinted at canceling several collaborations, he seemed to have stopped pestering Le Tong.
Regarding Zhong Hao, although he had the capacity, buying such a dress would also be a considerable burden for him.
"Put it away!"
Ji Rui ordered with displeasure, turning to slam the door shut.
Le Tong stuck out her tongue at the closed door, and then obediently folded the dress and put it back in the box.
Ji Rui casually closed the door and then remembered what he had gone out for earlier was actually to ask Le Tong to research some information.
Now, he was in a very unpleasant mood. At times like this, he particularly didn’t want to see her face.
"Mr. Ji! We’ve caught the hacker!"
Zhong Hao’s jubilant voice interrupted Ji Rui’s thoughts, prompting him to stand up quickly and walk over.
"I’ve locked down the other’s IP address and sent it to your friend’s email. I believe they’ll take action soon."
Zhong Hao, with dark circles under his eyes, had eyes shining brightly from his accomplishment.
Ji Rui reached out and patted Zhong Hao’s shoulder, "Hmm, thank you guys! You’ve worked hard these past few days!"
Having caught the hacker, Ji Rui’s mood wasn’t particularly joyful.
Because that meant the moment had come for him to break with Mr. Ji!
Although the faces between father and son had already been torn when he took Baby away a few days ago, Baby’s matter ultimately wasn’t a reason for father-son estrangement.
But with the hacker coming to the surface, he and Mr. Ji could find no reason to maintain superficial courtesy anymore.
On the way home, Ji Rui silently looked out the car window. Though he was never talkative, not saying a word like today was still a rare occurrence.
The driver knew he was in a bad mood, so he drove through inner streets as much as possible to avoid stopping at red lights and to prevent traffic jams.
Ji Rui was completely oblivious to the driver’s consideration, for his mind was still occupied with matters between him and Mr. Ji.
"Xiao Rui, your father loves you."
Suddenly, he remembered that before the incident, his mother had told him this.
Love?
Ji Rui scoffed internally; that man didn’t love his mother; he only loved the Glory Group she held in her hands.
And he, looking too much like his mother, especially with those slightly green eyes.
His existence could only make that man feel a suffocating guilt; how could he possibly love him?
The car stopped in the parking lot of the apartment building just as the phone rang.
Ji Rui checked the caller; it was Yang Sheng.
It seemed things over there had been handled.
"Yang Sheng, how did it go?" Ji Rui answered the call.
The answer he did and didn’t want to know was about to be revealed soon.
"Rui, as you suspected, that person indeed took money from the old chairman..."
Yang Sheng spoke slowly and softly, but his words were like a sharp blade, swiftly severing the last tiny connection between Ji Rui and Mr. Ji!
"Rui, are you okay?"
Not hearing any response from Ji Rui, Yang Sheng asked anxiously.
"Hmm, I’m fine!"
Sure, could he not be?
"So what do we do now?" Yang Sheng seemed rather troubled.
Dealing with Ji Wen and Ji Wu posed no hesitation for Yang Sheng, but now the target was Mr. Ji...
"Do what needs to be done, don’t worry, a person as selfish as him won’t let anything happen to himself!"
This was something Ji Rui was utterly confident about.
So, he didn’t plan to show mercy.
In this conflict, there may be no sharp blades, no sword shadows, no guns, but it was filled with the taste of smoke and gunpowder.
Yang Sheng followed the next steps, only saying he would arrange things quickly, then swiftly hung up.
Ji Rui, with complex emotions, dragged his heavy steps home. As soon as he entered the door, he heard hurried but small footsteps accompanied by Ji Baby rushing over.
"Daddy, you’re back?"
Ji Baby was especially well-behaved today, not like usual when he would cling to Ji Rui for a hug. Instead, he took Ji Rui’s briefcase with some effort and carried it into the living room with both hands.
Ji Rui, feeling heavy-hearted, watched Baby tiptoe to put the briefcase on the storage cabinet, then picked him up, using a slightly hoarse voice to ask Baby, "Baby, do you love Daddy?"
What he couldn’t receive from Mr. Ji, he hoped he could get from his beloved son.
"Yes, Baby loves Daddy the most!"
Baby nodded heavily, then leaned in to give him a kiss, to prove the truth of his words!
