It was four in the morning in Zhonghaiâ¦
Ji Qingyan woke up from her dream with a start, her forehead covered in a cold sweat.
After a few days, Ji Qingyan had lost a lot of weight. She had originally weighed about too pounds, but now, she had dropped to 80 pounds.
The moment Ji Qingyan woke up, He Yuanyuan, who was sleeping on the ground, also sat up.
For the past few days, He Yuanyuan had not gone anywhere. She had been staying at the Jiuzhou Pavilion to accompany her.
âSenior Sister, youâve only slept for half an hour. Why are you awake again?â
âI canât sleep anymore. My head hurts terribly.â Ji Qingyan massaged her temples as her brows knitted tightly together. âI havenât heard from him for so many days. I have a nagging feeling that something bad has happened.â
âYouâre just imagining things.â He Yuanyuan comforted him.
âHeâs so powerful. What could happen to him? Even if something happens to everyone in the world, nothing would happen to him. Donât worry.â
âThen why hasnât there been any news for so many days?â
âWellâ¦â
He Yuanyuan was at a loss for words and did not know how to explain this matter.
âHe might have been delayed by something else.â He Yuanyuan said.
âAnd think about it. There is a conflict over there, but it isnât directed at him. How could something have happened to him? You canât keep doing this.â
âLeave me alone.â
Ji Qingyan held her forehead. Her face was haggard, and there were heavy dark circles under her eyes. She was a completely different person from the valiant female CEO she used to be.
He Yuanyuan got up helplessly. She went to the television cabinet on the first floor and took out the first aid kit.
She took out a piece of Dai Lixin and poured Ji Qingyan a glass of warm water.
If this continued, she would collapse. Putting everything else aside, she had to ensure that she slept well.
After preparing the medicine and water, He Yuanyuan returned upstairs.
âSenior Sister, take this medicine.â
Ji Qingyan shook her head and pushed He Yuanyuan away. Anxiety and impatience were written all over her face.
He Yuanyuan saw this and her heart ached. These were early signs of depression.
âBut you canât stay like this.â He Yuanyuan said anxiously.
âHe hasnât come back yet, and youâre already breaking down. Isnât that bad?â
âItâs okay. I can still hold on.â
She massaged her temples and pushed the cup away. âIâm going to go downstairs and sit for a while. I canât breathe if I stay in the house.â
âAlright, letâs go. Letâs walk around the courtyard.â
He Yuanyuan helped Ji Qingyan out of bed, afraid that something would happen to her.
âYou donât have to do this. Iâm not a patient.â Ji Qingyan forced a smile. âItâll be fine.â
âAlright, I wonât keep watching you anymore, but you have to be careful.â He Yuanyuan said.
âIâll get someone to send something over. You havenât eaten much in the past few days. This definitely wonât do.â
Ji Qingyan did not say anything, but she really could not eat.
In a daze, the two of them went downstairs.
He Yuanyuan pulled open the curtains and opened the windows to ventilate the villa in an attempt to improve Ji Qingyanâs condition.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just as He Yuanyuan was drawing the curtains, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. The two of them looked at each other.
Ji Qingyan stood up excitedly. âLin Yiâs back!â Unable to wait any longer, she stood up from the sofa and jogged to the door.
Sometimes, it might only take a few knocks to restore a personâs vitality.
At the same time, He Yuanyuan walked to the door.
When she opened the door, she realized that there was no one outside.
âHuh? Who knocked on the door?â He Yuanyuan mumbled.
âWhere the hell are you? Whatâs going on? Why are you playing such tricks? Come out quickly.â
He Yuanyuan knew Lin Yi well. She felt that he was the type to do something like this.
âStop the bickering. I donât think Lin Yi is back yet,â Ji Qingyan said disappointedly. She then pointed at a thick folder on the floor. âThey left this at the door.â
He Yuanyuan looked down and saw a kraft paper envelope on the ground. There seemed to be a lot of documents inside.
âWho put it there?â
Muttering under her breath, He Yuanyuan picked up the brown paper bag and closed the door. The two of them returned to the house. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Qingyan was not interested in the contents of the brown paper bag. He Yuanyuan was the same. She threw it aside and observed Ji Qingyan.
It was past six in the morning when He Yuanyuanâs food arrived at the house. She then forced Ji Qingyan to eat a little.
Seeing that Ji Qingyan remained silent, He Yuanyuan had no other choice.
She was a typical science and engineering woman. She did not know how to take care of others at all. All she could do was stay here with her friend.
After cleaning up the dishes, He Yuanyuan noticed the brown paper envelope on the table. Since she had nothing to do, she opened it and was surprised to find dozens of photos inside.
The person in the photo was an intimate photo of Lin Yi and another woman!
Most importantly, she knew who the woman in the photo was!
Liang Ruoxu!
The secretary of Zhonghai!
He Yuanyuanâs heart was pounding. These photos were like bombshells to her.
She never dreamed that something like this would happen with Lin Yi.
Suddenly, He Yuanyuan realized that the situation was bad and quickly put away the photo.
With Senior Sisterâs current state, she would definitely break down if she saw these things!
However, things did not go as planned. Just as He Yuanyuan was packing up the photos, Ji Qingyan caught sight of them.
âDonât move!â
Ji Qingyan stopped He Yuanyuan and picked up the photo in the paper bag.
Although they did not have much interaction, as an entrepreneur of Zhonghai, she knew Liang Ruoxu.
Ji Qingyanâs body trembled violently.
She had never thought that Lin Yi would be with her!
Moreover, their actions were so intimate. Even a fool would not believe that there was nothing happening between the two of them.
âSenior Sister, donât get agitated. There might be a misunderstanding. I think someone is deliberately defaming him.â
This time, He Yuanyuan really panicked.
She had no idea how to handle this matter at all. This was well beyond her ability.
Ji Qingyan remained silent and stared at the photo for a long time.
Her emotions were calm, but her tears started falling.
âSenior Sisterâ¦â
âYou can go back first. Donât worry about me.â
âHow can I leave at a time like this?â He Yuanyuan slapped her thigh anxiously and cursed Lin Yiâs eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart.
âGo back. Youâve been with me for so many days. Go back and rest. I want to be alone for a while.â
âNo, I definitely wonât leave!â
âGo back!â
He Yuanyuan was shocked. They had known each other for so many years, but this was the first time her senior sister had spoken to her in such a tone.
âSenior Sister, Iâ¦â
âGo back. I really want to be alone for a while.â
Ji Qingyan held onto the stairs as she slowly made her way down.
Like a lonely ghost.
Looking at her back, He Yuanyuanâs heart ached, but she felt helpless!
âB*stard scumbag, Iâll chop you up!â
