Chapter 268: Everything Quietly Changing
Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Eight: Everything That Quietly Changed （6）
After leaving the villa, Qing Tian and Ji Xiangyu returned to the apartment. As soon as they reached the downstairs of the apartment, Ji Xiangyu’s mobile phone rang. He glanced at his mobile phone and then said to Qing Tian, “I’m taking a telephone call!”
After speaking, he opened the car door and got out. Qing Tian frowned. Whose telephone call was it that he needed to hide from her to answer?
As soon as he got out of the car, Ji Xiangyu said in a very unpleasant tone, “What is it?!”
Situ Jingyi’s voice came through, “Yu, I feel so unwell, can you come and see me?”
Ji Xiangyu frowned, holding his mobile phone, and replied impatiently, “If you’re unwell, go see a doctor!”
Situ Jingyi’s delicate voice came again, “Yu, why are you so heartless? I’ve been sincere with you, have you forgotten? Ah~~~, I really feel so unwell!”
Ji Xiangyu, already showing impatience, said, “If you’re unwell, go see a doctor. I’ll hang up now!”
Situ Jingyi pleaded unwillingly, “Yu, if you don’t come, I’ll cut my wrist and commit suicide. Do you really want to see me die?”
Ji Xiangyu, at this point, was extremely impatient. He yelled into the mobile phone, “Take care of yourself. Whether you live or die is your own business. Don’t ever threaten me with such words again!”
After speaking, Ji Xiangyu hung up the telephone call fiercely. Turning around, he saw Qing Tian standing not far away watching him talk on the mobile phone. Ji Xiangyu, holding his mobile phone somewhat unnaturally, said, “It was a client calling!”
Qing Tian said nothing, smiled slightly, and then turned to go upstairs. Ji Xiangyu followed behind, and they both swiped their cards to enter the elevator. In the elevator, neither of them spoke a single word!
Qing Tian’s little thoughts were acting up again. Why did Ji Xiangyu lie to her? It was just a client; there was no need to hide to talk on the phone. She secretly sighed, deciding not to overthink it. There was nothing to be suspicious about!
After entering the apartment, Ji Xiangyu first coaxed Qing Tian to sleep, planning to take a bath and then go out again. As soon as he took out his bathrobe, his mobile phone vibrated. He then unlocked his mobile phone and opened the multimedia message.
A bloody photograph appeared before his eyes. The fair, tender hand in the picture belonged to Situ Jingyi, accompanied by a text: What would happen if this hand were cut open?
Ji Xiangyu held his forehead. Had Situ Jingyi gone mad?
Just as he was feeling annoyed, a second multimedia message arrived on his mobile phone. Upon opening it, he saw another photograph. This picture showed a sharp blade pressed against the artery of a wrist, with a trickle of blood already appearing!
Ji Xiangyu looked at his mobile phone and shouted, “****!!!”
Then, he grabbed his car key with his mobile phone and rushed out of the door!
Qing Tian had already woken up when Ji Xiangyu uttered that “****” sound. Seeing Ji Xiangyu run out without even putting on his jacket, she became even more doubtful. What was Ji Xiangyu hiding from her?
Why was he so enraged?
She took out her mobile phone and quickly made a telephone call to Xia Yang. The call was connected quickly, but it sounded very noisy on the other end, as if he were in a meeting!
Xia Yang asked with worry, “Qing Tian, what’s wrong?”
Qing Tian held her mobile phone, unable to speak for a long time. What was she doing? Why was she calling Xia Yang? “It’s nothing, I just wanted to ask if the hotel has been going smoothly recently?”
Xia Yang frowned at his mobile phone. His intuition told him that Qing Tian would definitely not be calling just to ask such a trivial question: “The hotel is fine, but are you asking because something happened?”
Qing Tian finally decided to tell Xia Yang, “Just now, the Chairman ran out in such a hurry that he didn’t even have time to put on his jacket. I thought something had happened at the hotel!”
Xia Yang said doubtfully, “There’s no major issue at the hotel for now. It might be something else. Qing Tian, don’t worry. If Ji Xiangyu isn’t telling you, it’s probably because he doesn’t want you to worry. Rest well at home!”
Qing Tian was still worried, “Mm, maybe I’m overthinking it! Will you come over for dinner tonight? I’ll cook!”
It felt like it had been a long time since she had eaten with Xia Yang.
After Xia Yang said “Mm,” he was urged to continue his meeting on the other end, and they hung up. Qing Tian looked at her mobile phone, unable to sleep or sit still, no matter what.
