Chapter 82: An Accident
Chapter Eighty-Three: Trouble
Ji Xiangyu took the umbrella and looked at the girl with a sweet smile in front of him in the narrow space, saying excitedly, “Qing Tian, when did you return to the country?”
Situ Jingyi smiled gently, her smile truly gentle and heartwarming. Ji Xiangyu and Situ Jingyi were childhood friends, and in their upper-class society, they were considered a perfect match.
Situ Jingyi said gently, “I returned yesterday, but Yu, you were not very helpful, you didn’t even come to pick me up!”
Ji Xiangyu looked at Situ Jingyi with an apologetic expression and said coaxingly, “You came back so quietly, I had to be quiet too!”
Situ Jingyi said thoughtfully, “You’re wet, hurry home!”
Ji Xiangyu turned back and looked at the empty school with disappointment. Finally, he reluctantly got into the car. The moment he started the engine, he still hoped Qing Tian would appear, but there was still no sign of anyone around.
He didn’t show his disappointment on his face, but instead asked Situ Jingyi about things abroad. The two chatted enthusiastically on the road.
When they passed a traffic light, Xia Yang happened to be passing by with Qin Hailan. Ji Xiangyu watched them riding heavy motorcycles, and there was no sign of Qing Tian among them. He wondered where Qing Tian had gone.
Is it really as the text message said, that she doesn’t want to see him?
Situ Jingyi looked at Xia Yang and the others and said, “I didn’t expect Xia Yang to still be living such a carefree life. Yu, how are you guys doing now?”
Ji Xiangyu looked at the disappearing Xia Yang and sighed, “Not very well, I’m about to face a competition!”
Situ Jingyi asked curiously, “Competition? What competition?”
Ji Xiangyu looked at the heavy rain outside the window and thought thoughtfully: Competing for true love.
But what he said was not that: “If I win against him and become the Student Union Chairman, he will attend Grandfather’s birthday party. You know, Grandfather has always wanted Xia Yang to come back.”
Situ Jingyi frowned and looked ahead helplessly, also thinking thoughtfully: In her memory, Xia Yang had always held an unshakeable position.
“Then, Yu, you must work hard! Grandfather is counting on you. You can definitely do it, you’ve always been so outstanding!” Situ Jingyi suddenly said this to Ji Xiangyu with great enthusiasm, which startled Ji Xiangyu a bit.
Ji Xiangyu smiled awkwardly, “Huh? Hahaha… Thank you, our beautiful and gentle Jingyi, I will definitely work hard!”
The two looked at each other and smiled!

Time: 23:00, Location: Starting Point KTV.
While Xia Yang and the others were singing their hearts out at the KTV, his mobile phone vibrated on the table. Xia Yang didn’t like singing much, so he answered the phone. The people who were singing immediately turned down the volume to mute.
Xia Yang looked at the phone, it was an unknown number. He had been feeling uneasy all night, and he answered this unknown number without hesitation.
As soon as the other person spoke, Xia Yang immediately knew who it was, Qing Tian’s sister, Song Shishi.
Song Shishi said nervously on the other end, “Xia Yang, have you seen Sister Qing?”
Xia Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Hailan. Qin Hailan was playing dice with her companions at this moment. When she saw Xia Yang looking at her with sharp eyes, she suddenly remembered seeing Qing Tian being kidnapped by a man in black after school. She trembled guiltily and scattered all the dice in her hand, which rolled to every corner of the K room.
Xia Yang asked anxiously, “Why do you ask?” While speaking, he kept staring at Qin Hailan, always feeling that Qin Hailan was hiding something from him.
Song Shishi said anxiously, “I had something to do today and didn’t go home with Sister Qing. Just now, my family called and said Sister Qing hadn’t come home yet, so I thought I’d ask you!”
Xia Yang thought about seeing Ji Xiangyu waiting at the school gate this afternoon. Could he have been waiting for Qing Tian?
Unexpectedly, Song Shishi said again, “Haozi also confirmed that Ji Xiangyu is at home, so no one knows where Sister Qing has gone!”
After listening, Xia Yang comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll go look for her!”
He immediately hung up the phone and pulled Qin Hailan towards the door. When they reached a quiet, deserted place, Xia Yang let go of Qin Hailan and asked with a very cold voice, “Tell me, where is Qing Tian?”
Qin Hailan shook her head and said, “I, I… I don’t know!”
Xia Yang took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag, then quietly looked at Qin Hailan. His gaze seemed to want to see something from her eyes.
Qin Hailan finally couldn’t withstand Xia Yang’s intense gaze and surrendered, saying, “Okay, after school today, I did see a stranger take Qing Tian away!”
After hearing this, Xia Yang threw his cigarette on the ground and fiercely stomped out the butt with his toe, asking coldly, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Qin Hailan explained, “I, I…”
Xia Yang immediately stopped her, “Don’t ‘I’, A Lan. This is the first time I’ve been disappointed in you!”
Xia Yang’s words hit Qin Hailan like a cannonball.
Xia Yang, without further ado, immediately turned and ran away.
Qin Hailan returned to the private room, drinking alcohol with a sense of loss. She drank glass after glass of strong liquor, and no matter how her sisters tried to persuade her, she wouldn’t listen.
Finally, she picked up her phone and randomly dialed Ji Xiangyu’s number.
When Ji Xiangyu answered Qin Hailan’s call, he was in his own garden with Ji Weiwei and Situ Jingyi, eating snacks and chatting about childhood stories.
He answered the phone and heard Qin Hailan, drunk, say on the other end, “Ji Xiangyu, I’m telling you, something has happened to Qing Tian, and Xia Yang is looking for her!”
Ji Xiangyu’s eyes widened, and he pressed, “Where is Qing Tian?”
The other side said “School…” and then the call hung up. Ji Xiangyu heard the busy tone on his phone and felt a sense of dread. He immediately dropped Ji Weiwei and Situ Jingyi and ran to the garage.
Ji Weiwei grabbed Ji Xiangyu and asked, “Brother Yu, where are you going so late?”
Ji Xiangyu grabbed Ji Weiwei and interrogated her, “Weiwei, do you know where Qing Tian is?”
Ji Weiwei was confused by the question, “What happened to Qing Tian again?”
Ji Xiangyu looked at Ji Weiwei’s clueless face and said, “I hope this time it’s not you causing trouble!”
After saying that, he left resolutely. Ji Weiwei stood there and sneered at Ji Xiangyu. It was because of that woman Qing Tian again that her Brother Yu spoke to her harshly, even suspecting her.
Situ Jingyi smiled gently and put her arm around Ji Weiwei’s shoulder, saying, “Weiwei, don’t you feel angry that Yu is yelling at you and even suspects you?”
Ji Weiwei looked at Situ Jingyi with grievance and said, “It’s all because of that bitch Qing Tian that Brother Yu is treating me like this. I will absolutely not let that woman have an easy time!”
Situ Jingyi gently comforted her, “Weiwei, revenge cannot be shown on your face. No matter how much you hate someone, you must maintain a calm demeanor. Even if that person is framed by someone in the future, others won’t suspect you. You just can’t hide your emotions, that’s why you suffer losses!”
Ji Weiwei looked at Situ Jingyi, half-understanding.
Situ Jingyi’s face was full of gentle smiles, and Ji Weiwei herself couldn’t be as gentle and lovely.
