Chapter 108: Conditions
Ji Xiangyu drove to the hotel entrance. The valet, upon seeing the future heir of the hotel, immediately rushed over, opened the car door, took the key, and respectfully greeted him, “Young Master, you’re here!”
Ji Xiangyu didn’t have time to deal with the valet. He tossed the car key and directly said, “Don’t tell anyone I’ve been here!”
The valet was stunned. Before he could react, Ji Xiangyu had already disappeared!
The valet shook his head in confusion, “What’s wrong with the Young Master today? So cold?!”
The hotel manager walked over and asked, “Who’s cold?!”
The valet quickly covered his mouth and giggled, “Hehe, hello General Manager, I wasn’t talking about anyone, just talking to myself!”
The General Manager looked at the car parked to the side and asked, “Did the Young Master come?”
The valet looked at the General Manager with a pained expression, “The Young Master did indeed come!”
However, he had just said not to tell anyone, and now it was revealed so easily. What should he do? Would he be fired!?
The General Manager didn’t say much and walked away!
While the valet was secretly rejoicing, he saw Situ Haonan arrive and immediately tensed up, giggling and trying to please him, “Director, you’re here!”
Situ Haonan also asked a single question, “Did the Young Master come?”
The valet was stunned. How was this related to the Young Master again? He nodded, then shook his head.
Situ Haonan said impatiently, “Did he come or not!”
The valet broke out in a cold sweat, “The Young Master said not to tell anyone he was here!”
Situ Haonan’s lips curved upwards, “I understand. Hurry and park the car!”
The valet was finally spared! Today was truly an unlucky day! He encountered so many high-ranking officials!
On the other side, Ji Xiangyu had already arrived at the private room. Upon entering, he didn’t see Situ Haonan. At this moment, Situ Jingyi called him!
As soon as the call connected, Situ Jingyi said, “Yu, did my father meet with you? Is it about Xia Yang?”
Ji Xiangyu asked in confusion, “Jingyi, how did you know?”
Situ Jingyi quickly replied, “Dad met me when he left. He said he was going to see you!”
Ji Xiangyu said “oh” in confusion but didn’t pay much attention. At this moment, Situ Haonan walked in. Ji Xiangyu quickly said, “I’ll call you later!” and hung up the phone!
“Uncle Situ!” Ji Xiangyu’s tone was cold!
Situ Haonan stepped forward with a sad expression, holding Ji Xiangyu’s hand, and said, “Such a big incident at Grandfather’s birthday party, Uncle is extremely regretful. I heard Grandfather is critically ill and has gone abroad?!”
Ji Xiangyu also felt sad. His grandfather had always doted on him since he was young. Now that his grandfather was critically ill, he couldn’t be by his side, and he felt very distressed!
With a displeased expression, he said, “Uncle, you are so thoughtful. Grandfather will definitely get better!”
Situ Haonan said earnestly, “There’s no need to be polite. Sooner or later, we’ll be family. You know my intentions, nephew! If you and Jingyi get married, this Chairman position will be yours. Uncle has high hopes for you!”
What Ji Xiangyu had been worrying about all the way was Situ Haonan saying this to him. If he used this as a condition to save Xia Yang, should he agree or not?! He had come to the wrong person; he should have gone to Situ Jingyi first. If he asked Jingyi, it wouldn’t have come to the point of discussing conditions, but it might not have been successful either!
Ji Xiangyu’s expression was cold and calm, “Uncle, your nephew has a favor to ask of you today!”
Situ Haonan was very surprised, “Tell me what difficulties you have, nephew. Uncle will do his best to help!”
Ji Xiangyu then stated his request, “I have a friend who was framed and arrested by the police. The police are holding him, and without a lawyer, he can’t be bailed out. It seems serious. I believe Uncle must have a way to save my friend!”
Situ Haonan’s lips curved into a smile, “You’re not talking about that illegitimate child from the Ji Family, are you?”
Ji Xiangyu’s eyes widened, “Uncle, how did you know?”
Situ Haonan lazily sat on the sofa and said unhurriedly, “The newspapers are all over it, it’s hard not to know! Nephew, how that illegitimate child treated you before, Uncle doesn’t need to tell you, but why are you helping him instead?!”
In the past, why did everyone familiar with the Ji Family bring up the past?
“He is innocent. I am just seeking justice!” Ji Xiangyu lied!
However, Situ Haonan saw through him at a glance but didn’t expose it. “This matter has blown up, and the media is widely publicizing it. It’s not easy to silence the public, but Uncle will do his best! Don’t worry too much.”
Ji Xiangyu didn’t expect Situ Haonan to refuse with just one sentence. Was it because the other party was Xia Yang that he chose not to help?
He still had to thank Situ Haonan, and then they had a meal at the hotel!
After Situ Jingyi hung up with Ji Xiangyu, she drove directly to the bottom of Qing Tian Building! A phone call went through!
Qing Tian was still sitting at her desk, lost in thought. Her mobile phone was on the table, hoping Ji Xiangyu would have good news!
When the phone rang, she saw it was an unknown number and answered in confusion, “Hello, who is this!?”
Situ Jingyi said commandingly, “Come downstairs. If you want to save Xia Yang, come down to the building!”
Qing Tian was stunned. Before she could react, the call was hung up!
She stared blankly at her phone for a while before hastily putting on a light jacket and going out!
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw a cool red sports car. She walked over and saw Situ Jingyi, asking in surprise, “Classmate Situ, are you looking for me!?”
Situ Jingyi pointed to the passenger seat and said, “Get in!”
Qing Tian got into the car with confusion. The car then sped along the road and finally stopped next to a rather desolate park.
Qing Tian asked in confusion, “You said you could save Xia Yang just now?!”
Situ Jingyi nodded, “I can save him, but it’s difficult. You know how big this matter has become. It’s impossible for Xia Yang to be easily acquitted. However, I do have a way to save him, but I have a condition!”
Qing Tian pressed, “What condition?!”
Situ Jingyi turned her head and gave Qing Tian a meaningful look before saying, “You may not agree to my condition!”
Qing Tian said nervously, “If you say it, I will do it if I can!”
Situ Jingyi smiled at Qing Tian and asked incredulously, “Qing Tian, you met Xia Yang by chance. Why are you so eager to save him? You’re not lovers, nor are you family. Why? I’m very curious!”
Qing Tian’s eyes dimmed as she looked out the window and murmured, “He and I are like siblings. We vowed to grow old together. He is like my own brother, and I treat him like family!”
Situ Jingyi understood, “Since that’s the case, then my condition isn’t really a condition. I want you to leave Ji Xiangyu, leave here, and never appear again!”
Qing Tian didn’t understand why Situ Jingyi wanted to do this, “Why? Does leaving have to be the only way to solve the problem? Are there no other methods?”
Situ Jingyi asked aggressively, “Didn’t you say you wanted to grow old with Xia Yang? Let me tell you, my method to save Xia Yang is to make Xia Yang disappear from the world and live with a new identity. I will arrange for you to go abroad together, to a place where no one knows you. I will also get you a new identity, so you won’t have to bear the crime of your father being a fraud. This kind of double win is not something everyone can have.”
Qing Tian was suddenly speechless. Leave here and live a different life with Xia Yang, what about Ji Xiangyu?
Situ Jingyi guessed Qing Tian’s confusion, “As for Yu, you two have only just officially gotten together, so breaking up shouldn’t be difficult. As long as you break up and you and Xia Yang go abroad, I will erase all of Xia Yang’s criminal records. If you return, I will resort to any means to hand over the evidence to the police again!”
Qing Tian frowned, “Are you threatening me?”
Situ Jingyi raised an eyebrow, “Threatening? Qing Tian, get it straight. Xia Yang’s life is in your hands! Think carefully. I’ll give you one night. You can afford to wait, but Xia Yang might not be able to wait with you!!!”
Qing Tian’s heart was in such a mess, completely unable to think due to this series of events. She said with difficulty, “I… I…”
