chapter 55

After coming out of the Qin family, Ji Xiaoli couldn’t help laughing bitterly, ‘The world is so big, but there is no place for me.’

“Sir, you can drop me off anywhere you like.”

The taxi driver took Ji Xiaoli to downtown. Ji Xiaoli walked alone in the street, who was irritable. She knew that she would be homeless one day. At that time, she truly realized the feeling of homelessness was very uncomfortable.

At that time, she complained that Qin Zhenyang did not leave the Qin family to look for her. But at this time she had figured it out and understood him, ‘He is the Qin family. After that, how could he come out to comfort me?’

‘Even if he was willing to come out to accompany me, the old lady would not allow him to do so. People born in that kind of family do a lot of things against their wills.’

She didn’t blame anyone. She could only blame herself if necessary. She knew that the rich and powerful family had a lot of rules, but she still chose to marry Qin Zhenyang. It was impossible to live that kind of ordinary life in a rich and powerful family.

‘Maybe I am too naive.’

Ji Xiaoli looked up at the sky, ‘It was sunny just now, but now it’s cloudy.’ The intermittent raindrops hit her cheek, and she even felt some pain.

She suddenly thought of a habit of her father. Even if the weather was fine, her father would carry an umbrella in his briefcase when he went out, so that he didn’t have to worry about the sudden rain.

She thought her father’s action was very sensible. But when she thought of her father, she would inevitably think of her mother and sister, ‘Ji Xuewei’s play has now come to a perfect conclusion. I don’t know if there is any flaw in her fake pregnancy.’

…

In the municipal hospital of Capital North Station.

“Do you believe Xiaoli did this?” Qin Zhenyang frowned and looked at the man sitting in the chair beside him.

Qin Zheng shook his head, who was full of bitterness and disappointment, “I don’t know. Although I don’t believe Xiaoli would do this, there were only two of them in the room at that time. Xuewei couldn’t hurt herself like that…”

At present, he did not know if he should believe Ji Xuewei or Ji Xiaoli. At that time, he was in no mood to distinguish the facts before him.

Qin Zhenyang was a little tired, and he rubbed his hands back and forth on his cheek for several times. He sighed and said, “Xuewei has you accompanying her in the hospital. I’ll go back first.”

“Are you going to find Xiaoli?” Qin Zheng guessed the reason why Qin Zhenyang was anxious to leave at this time.

Qin Zhenyang nodded faintly and glanced at him coldly, “No matter who caused Ji Xuewei’s pain, I will find out the truth. But I still have to remind you that Ji Xuewei is not as simple as she looks. Though we haven’t known the truth yet, it does not exclude the possibility that this was caused by herself.”

Qin Zheng hesitated, and he did know that Ji Xuewei was good at using dirty means, ‘But she would not frame others by sacrificing her own baby.’ From time to time, he would think of Ji Xuewei lying in a pool of blood miserably.

“Uncle… I know Xiaoli would never do such a thing, but I don’t believe Xuewei is willing to hurt her own baby.” He still preferred believing what he saw.

After listening to Qin Zheng’s words, Qin Zhenyang laughed. He did not continue to talk with Qin Zheng, then left the hospital.

Maybe like Qin Zheng, all the people present today would believe that all of these was caused by Xiaoli. At the first glance, he also thought that Ji Xuewei’s pain was caused by Ji Xiaoli, but he knew that Ji Xiaoli would not do it and disdained to do so.

This was Qin Zhenyang’s intuition.

Qin Zhenyang sat in the driver’s seat, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and prepared to call Ji Xiaoli. Ji Xiaoli’s phone was not connected. Instead, the cold electronic sound was continuously played, “Sorry, the number you dialed is power off, please redial later…”

‘Is Ji Xiaoli’s mobile phone turned off?’

‘She must be really angry this time, otherwise she would not turn off her mobile phone.’ He thought for a while, and he called Aunt Wang to ask if Xiaoli was at home. Mrs. Wang answered the phone and said that the young madam didn’t go home at all. Then she asked what happened.

Qin Zhenyang hung up the phone without giving Aunt Wang too much explanation. Then he called Zhao Weihang… Fortunately, Zhao Weihang’s phone number was kept on his mobile phone.

Zhao Weihang was having a fight with his wife at this time. He was sitting in front of the computer and sulking. When he received the phone call from Qin Zhenyang, he felt quite puzzled, “Qin Zhenyang?”

Qin Zhenyang were not familiar with Zhao Weihang. The reason why he remembered Zhao Weihang was that Qi Xiaoguang was his wife’s best friend. So he added Zhao Weihang’s phone number to his contact lists, so as to make provision against emergencies. He didn’t expect that he really needed to call Zhao Weihang right now.

“Well, I’m sorry to disturb you. Please get your wife on the phone.” Qin Zhenyang originally wanted to ask Qi Xiaoguang about his wife, but Zhao Weihang was a little unhappy after hearing Qin Zhenyang’s words.

‘In front of me, let my wife answer the phone…’ Zhao Weihang was a little unhappy.

Zhao Weixing had been quarrelling with his wife, and at this time Qin Zhenyang said this to him, which made him even more depressed… He didn’t allow this man to covet his wife whether this man was one of the Qins or someone else.

So he said angrily, “My wife is not at home now. You can leave a message. I will tell her about it. If you have nothing important to say, I’ll hang up first.”

‘I won’t let him to speak to my wife.’

Qin Zhenyang didn’t think his words were inappropriate at first. However, after careful consideration, he could understand why Zhao Weihang had such an attitude towards him. Although he would like to give Mr. Zhao a hard beat right away, this was certainly not feasible, because he did not have the ability to capture people from a long distance.

“I have something to ask you for help. Ask your wife if Ji Xiaoli has contacted her today. Does she know where Ji Xiaoli is? I couldn’t find my wife, so I thought of asking you for help.”

‘It turns out he has some family disputes.’ Zhao Weihang also attended Qin Zheng’s engagement ceremony today. He also knew what happened at the engagement ceremony. Thinking that Qin Zhenyang was unhappy this time, he readily agreed to help.

He was going to ignore his wife. Because he was asked by Qin Zhenyang to find Qi Xiaoguang, he could only temporarily break the strange silence between them.

Zhao Weihang was a man who didn’t know how to comfort women. Although he loved his wife very much, he was not good at expressing his ideas. So every time they quarreled, he kept silent. He did not know how to comfort people, and over time anger had been piled up in Qi Xiaoguang’s heart.

Qi Xiaoguang was playing video games in the bedroom. Seeing Zhao Weihang come in, she ignored him and continued to concentrate on playing games.

“My dear, are you still angry?”

Qi Xiaoguang had been staring at the computer screen from the beginning to the end. She did not pay attention and reply to her husband.

In the past, Qi Xiaoguang was more willing to give in after the fight. Zhao Weihang didn’t take the initiative to make up with her every time. Qi Xiaoguang thought that since Zhao Weihang could keep silent, they might as well stop talking to each other for the rest of their lives.

She was really angry, and she wanted to keep silent.

‘According to Zhao Weihang’s personality, he will definitely sleep in his study tonight, and then he will not take the initiative to talk with me the next day, and go directly to work in the company. It’s not dark today. Why does he come to talk to me first?’

Qi Xiaoguang was a little confused, but she still refused to talk to him, ‘The harmony between us is important, but my principle is more important.’

Zhao Weihang did not expect that he was completely ignored by his wife. He had no choice but to tell her the matter, “Xiaoguang, Qin Zhenyang just called to inquire about his wife’s whereabouts…”

Before Zhao Weixing finished speaking, his wife turned off the computer. Then she turned her head and asked, “Xiaoli? What did he say?”

Zhao Weihang knew before that he was not as important as his wife’s close friend. And this time he really realized it, ‘It’s true that husband is like your clothes, which can be replaced by the new ones, but close friends are like your hands and feet.’

Zhao Weihang told his wife what happened just now. His wife stood up straight from the chair, “Xiaoli hasn’t come home yet? Where can she go? She must not be able to return to the Ji family. She didn’t contact me either. And she’s not with Qin Zhenyang… I don’t know how she’s going to deal with what happened today.”

More than once, Qi Xiaoguang scolded the Qin family for their snobbish personalities and artifice, “Especially the vicious Ji Xuewei, she can win so many people’s favor, but Xiaoli…”

“All the rich and powerful families have a lot of rules, which are extremely annoying.” This was the conclusion of Qi Xiaoguang.

“I’m going out to look for Xiaoli. If your mother asks me where I’ve been, you should be honest.” The reason why Qi Xiaoguang quarreled with her husband today was that her mother-in-law had a problem with her being so close to Ji Xiaoli.

In particular, what happened today made Mrs. Zhao feel that Ji Xiaoli could not be welcomed by the Qin family, ‘Her daughter-in-law continues to make friends with Ji Xiaoli, which would only make trouble for the Zhao family.’ So she forbade her daughter-in-law to have any contact with Ji Xiaoli.

But what Mrs. Zhao didn’t know was that she and Ji Xiaoli had known each other since childhood. The relationship between them was very good. Now both of them were married to a rich family, and they cherished each other. So it was impossible for her to abandon Ji Xiaoli at such a time.

Therefore, Qi Xiaoguang did not intend to follow her mother-in-law’s advice at all.

Mrs. Zhao scolded her daughter-in-law. So their relationship deteriorated again.

Just as Zhao Weixing wanted to help his wife say something, Mrs. Zhao asked them to divorce. Therefore, there was no way for them to continue to talk…

This led to the estrangement between their husband and wife.

At that time, it was raining heavily outside. Zhao Weihang didn’t let his wife go out alone. He took his wife’s hand and said, “Don’t worry about her. You don’t know where she went. Where are you going to find her?”

“But I don’t want to sit here. I’m afraid something will happen to her…” Qi Xiaoguang washed her face. Especially when she thought of Xiaoli’s look when she left the Qin family, she was very uncomfortable.

Zhao Weihang sighed, “I’ll call Qin Zhenyang first. Ask him if he has any clues, and then we’ll look for her together. The capital is so big. If there’s no clue, it’s just too hard to find someone.”

Qi Xiaoguang nodded and agreed. Her husband’s words made her feel better. But she thought that her mother-in-law had been encouraging Zhao Weihang to divorce her, ‘Maybe they will get divorced one day in the future.’

Love would die away in the end. And if that day came, she could only passively accept it.

‘Where is Xiaoli going now?’

After receiving the call from Zhao Weihang, Qin Zhenyang was very depressed, and he was full of worry and chagrin about Ji Xiaoli.

He knew she didn’t like to marry into a rich and powerful family, ‘She is not eager to marry into the Qin family as his sister-in-law and his mother said. If so, she would not have broken up with Qin Zheng easily.’

What if he knew that? He couldn’t abandon his family. But even so, he did not want to be separated from his wife easily.
