Chapter 483: Pushed Into The Water
Zhang Yiqi started trembling after Zhong Xianjing left.
“Qiqi, are you alright?”
Frightened, Xia Qinghan instantly held her.
Zhang Yiqi bit her lip, suppressing the sound of crying in her throat, but the tears in her eyes couldn’t help but roll down her cheeks.
She didn’t know that Zhong Xianjing would approach her just to give her a warning!
She felt utterly mortified as she thought of how Mo and his mother had treated her.
“Qiqi, don’t cry!”
Startled, Xia Qinghan hurriedly pulled her to the side so that people wouldn’t see the ignominious state that she was in.
When they got to a quiet corner, Zhang Yiqi’s tears began pouring out in torrents.
“Qinghan…”
She was full of grievances.
How could Mo Bonan and his mother treat her like that?! Wasn’t she good enough?!
“Stop crying, your makeup is falling off,” Xia Qinghan comforted her. “It’s their fault that they don’t recognize how great you are. They’ll understand it sooner or later.”
Zhang Yiqi fought back her tears.
Mo Bonan and his mother treated her like that because they thought she couldn’t give Mo Bonan up, didn’t they?
She… She couldn’t give him up indeed.
Ever since she first met Mo Bonan, he was all that she could think about.
From then on, no other people could make her open up like he did.
Not even Mo Bonan and Zhong Xianjing’s obnoxious att.i.tude would make her flinch.
She just couldn’t figure out why they didn’t like her. She was good, wasn’t she?
Zhang Yiqi wiped away her tears and took a few deep breaths, finally managing to suppress the sorrow within, her eyes ablaze with fire once again.
She wasn’t convinced that Mo Bonan was out of her reach!
“Eh? Sister Weiyun?”
Only then did they realize that Li Weiyun was gone.
“She must have gone elsewhere by herself.”
Xia Qinghan scowled, though she wasn’t particularly worried.
Li Weiyun was an adult, she wouldn’t run into trouble at events like this.
Having said that, they still had to look for her.
“Shall we go look for her then?”
“Sure.”
The two took a tour around the place, soon seeing Li Weiyun near the entrance.
They did not step forward, however, because there was a hunky man standing beside Li Weiyun.
“That’s…”
“That’s Qiao Yanjue!” Xia Qinghan was surprised. “I didn’t know he came!”
“Qiao Yanjue?” Zhang Yiqi mused for a second before the realization struck her. “The Qiao family’s fourth child?”
Despite being the Qiao family’s fourth child, people wouldn’t usually address him that way.
“Yes, he’s Qiao Haoming’s youngest uncle.” Xia Qinghan was flabbergasted, “Does he know the Mos too?”
“We all belong in the same circle, that’s nothing surprising about it,” Zhang Yiqi said. “Sister Weiyun likes him?”
“I think so.”
Although they weren’t sure about it, it was pretty obvious that Li Weiyun had feelings for Qiao Yanjue from the way she looked shy and soft around him, which was unlike her cold, aloof self when she was with them.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t hurry to his side without even notifying them.
Besides, the look in her eyes wouldn’t lie.
“Should we… Go to her then?”
“Of course not!” Xia Qinghan shook her head immediately. “I don’t wanna get hated on.”
“Alright then,” Zhang Yiqi took the hint. “Let’s go and take a walk outside.”
“Sure.”
The two headed outside, where there was an outdoor swimming pool. Although no one was swimming in there at the moment, the ambience was nice.
Right as they got outside, Zhang Yiqi’s face turned gloomy and she gritted her teeth in rage.
“It’s him again!”
As she saw Tang Luo walking in their direction all by himself and thought of the things that Mo Bonan and his mother said to her, Zhang Yiqi couldn’t hold her anger back any longer.
When they pa.s.sed by each other, she pretended to slip. She cried out while leaning to the side, pus.h.i.+ng Tang Luo along.
With a loud splash, chaos ensued.
