Chapter 169 This is her compensation

The large room with wide floor-to-ceiling windows was empty except for a few messy paint easels.

A woman in home clothes sits in front of an easel, holding a palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. Behind her is a floor-to-ceiling glass window, blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine.

In one corner of the studio is a rest area. On a dark purple leather sofa, a man in a white shirt sits with his legs crossed. His well-cut black trousers wrap around his smooth legs. He holds a cup of coffee and sips it slowly.

He knew that Ji Wenqing didn’t like to be disturbed when she was painting, so he was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

The paintbrush dipped into the paint on the palette, and suddenly Ji Wenqing said, “Are you free and come to my place for a cup of coffee?”

Ji Jinchuan narrowed his long black eyes, slowly put down the spoon that was stirring the coffee, picked up the file bag beside him and put it on the coffee table: “There is something I need your signature for.”

Ji Wenqing didn’t say anything and continued to concentrate on painting. Ji Jinchuan was not impatient either, but sat there quietly. His slightly tilted face was set against the golden light reflected by the glass, and his facial features became more handsome and resolute.

Half an hour later, Ji Wenqing painted the last stroke, put down the palette in her hand, went to the bathroom next door to wash her hands, and returned to the studio, looking at Ji Jinchuan’s finished coffee cup: “Do you want more?”

Ji Jinchuan’s thin lips were smooth and rosy, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth: “It’s a rare opportunity to come here, it would be best if I could drink enough at once.”

Ji Wenqing smiled, and that smile was like the hazy rainy Jiangnan, containing delicate tenderness: “You speak as if you have never had coffee in your life.”

He smiled and said, “I drank a lot, but it was probably ten years ago that I could drink coffee brewed by my aunt.”

The harmonious scene just now was brought into silence by his unintentional words. Ji Wenqing went to the coffee shop to make coffee, and returned to the studio a few minutes later, holding his coffee cup and entering the coffee shop again. Ji Jinchuan followed her in and took the two cups of coffee she had received back to the rest area of ​​the studio.

Ji Wenqing sat down opposite him. He pushed the file bag to her along the table. Ji Wenqing looked at him with a puzzled look. He pointed at the file bag and said, “Open it and take a look.”

Ji Wenqing picked up the file bag, untied the rope, and opened the file bag. The four words “equity transfer book” shocked her. She was stunned for a long time: “This is…”

Ji Jinchuan said frankly: “My father asked me to give it to you. It should have been given to you a long time ago, but you were too stubborn and refused to return to the old house all these years. They didn’t come to disturb you. First, they felt ashamed to face you, and second, they knew that there was a knot in your heart that only you could untie. They wanted to give you more space, let you think clearly, and then let go of that resentment. If you don’t want to go back, you must have a source of income.”

The color on Ji Wenqing’s face gradually faded, and turned pale in an instant. Her slender white fingers clenched the equity transfer document in her hand, and it was deformed because of the force she squeezed: “Is this compensation for me?”

Ji Jinchuan did not comment, just pursed his lips and remained silent.

The normally graceful girl’s eyes turned red at this moment, and a sharp voice rang out in the quiet studio: “In your eyes, Renan is only worth this 10% of the shares?”

Ji Jinchuan stared at her without moving his eyes: “They are just afraid that you will suffer alone outside.”

“If I had known this would happen, why would I have done it in the first place?” Ji Wenqing’s tone was full of sarcasm, and she threw the equity transfer document in her hand into the trash can. “If it weren’t for their selfishness, I would have a harmonious family now, a loving husband, and well-behaved children. The current situation is all caused by them!”
