Chapter 939: Opposing Worlds (34)
Facing Mingxi's questioning, Tianjie seemed unusually calm. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an unpredictable smile.
"Oh? Taking the same elevator with me means you followed me?" Tian Jie said slowly, his tone revealing a nonchalant attitude. His voice was low and magnetic. "Then you have followed me many times." He continued, implying that Ming Xi's accusation was groundless and just groundless speculation.
Ming Xi was choked by Tian Jie's words and was speechless for a moment. He stared at Tian Jie with wide eyes and a face full of anger, but he couldn't find the right words to refute. His chest heaved up and down with anger, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with what Tian Jie said.
Ling'er stood aside, watching quietly, feeling quite surprised. It was the first time she had witnessed such a discordant father-son relationship, completely different from what she had imagined. However, she didn't show it, simply observing everything quietly.
The atmosphere in the elevator became a little tense because of the confrontation between Mingxi and Tianjie. The originally quiet space suddenly seemed to be filled with gunpowder.
Tian Jie didn't seem to care about the awkward atmosphere. He still maintained his calm and composed look, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.
Finally, the elevator reached its destination and the doors slowly opened. Tian Jie followed Xing Rong and the others out of the elevator and all the way to the dock.
Seeing this, Ming Xi finally couldn't help it. He yelled at Tian Jie, "Uncle, how long are you going to follow me?"
Tian Jie stopped and turned around, still wearing that inscrutable smile. He shamelessly continued to play it off, "I just happened to be at the dock."
Seeing this, Xing Rong raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and raised the end of her eyebrows slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be a smile. She consciously stepped aside to make way for Tian Jie, and then said, "Then you go first."
Tian Jie had never expected Xing Rong to say such a thing. He originally thought that she was the kind of person who had no interest in anything and was too lazy to care about anything.
But since she had already spoken, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and board one of the speedboats.
However, he did not start the speedboat immediately, but sat on it, waiting quietly. His eyes fell on Xing Rong, who was not far away, and he secretly guessed her thoughts.
Xing Rong seemed to see through Tian Jie's thoughts, but she didn't point it out. She just raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then, she took Ling'er and Ming Xi to board another speedboat.
Ming Xi stood on the speedboat and made a face at Tian Jie, a smile full of mockery and pride. He even snorted deliberately, and like a proud little peacock, turned his head away, not even glancing at Tian Jie.
Tian Jie's face instantly turned livid. He stared at Ming Xi intently, his anger rising. But he still suppressed his anger, telling himself not to argue with a child.
After all, he is the controller of this island. How can he let a little kid affect his mood here?
Although Tian Jie thought this in his heart, his body followed them uncontrollably.
He didn't know why he cared so much about Xing Rong and Ming Xi's attitudes, and even wanted to understand them involuntarily.
Why can so many people get along so harmoniously in their house, unlike the people here?
Here even the sea water was an almost iron-gray blue, constantly surging, as if suppressing endless power, violently slapping the uneven shore and breaking into cold, splashing water.
The sky was covered by a thin and even layer of gray clouds, like a huge gray curtain, shrouding the entire world in gloom.
Although the sunlight tried hard to penetrate the clouds, it was very difficult and could only barely let through some weak light, making the whole world seem a little dim and depressing.
In such an environment, everything seems to lack vivid colors and a relaxed atmosphere.
