Shi Qian threw her phone aside and was too lazy to play a game. “It’s not Jiang Ci. It’s someone else.”
“Oh.” Huo Fei placed several drinks on the table before Shi Qian. “I don’t know what you want to drink.”
Shi Qian casually took a bottle of soda and opened it for a few sips.
The pressure in her chest gradually eased.
She thought she could always calm down after these few days of adjustment.
However, when she heard Han Yuanfeng say that Bai Liyue wanted to see her, she realized she couldn’t keep her heart taciturn as water.
In the Security Department Office.
Bai Liyue sat before Han Yuanfeng’s desk and asked, “Minister Han, that girl called Qianqian, is she back?”
“Yes. Qianqian just came back the day before today,” Han Yuanfeng responded. “However, 1 asked her to meet me, but she said she didn’t have time yet. Maybe she still hadn’t considered joining the security department.”
“She’s a student at Imperial University, correct?” Bai Liyue asked.
“Yes, she is. However, this child is a little stubborn. I thought that she would perform well in school. She could be famous and outsmart other students in school with her skills. I couldn’t believe most people in school see her as an ignorant and incompetent student.”
“Have you investigated?”
Han Yuanfeng shook his head.
Bai Liyue understood. “She’s a young genius. Why would you do that on purpose?”
Han Yuanfeng said, “Maybe it has something to do with the woeful environment she grew up in. Qianqian is also a pitiful child. She’s an orphan like you. She doesn’t have parents.”
“I see.” Bai Liyue’s heart unfathomably ached when she heard that.
After a pause, she said, “1’11 talk to her when 1 have time.”
Han Yuanfeng nodded, “That’s good. Girls communicate easier.”
“You’re right.” Bai Liyue nodded.
Shi Qian drank the entire bottle of soda in one go.
Huo Fei sat beside her and was in a daze.
“Didn’t you say you weren’t thirsty just now?”
“That was not being thirsty!”
Shi Qian drank the soda and threw the empty bottle into the trash can in the distance.
Jiang Ci walked in at this moment.
He looked at the bottle that had activated the sound. He smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Had waiting bored you?”
Shi Qian leaned back lazily and looked at him. “Would 1 still sit here if 1 got bored of waiting?”
“You’re right,” Jiang Ci smiled. As he spoke, he walked over to Shi Qian and sat down.
“Oh, right. Why would you want to see me?” Shi Qian asked again.
Jiang Ci looked at her. “You’re crying for no reason. You’ve been gone for 20 days. Don’t you think you still owe me an explanation?”
He had been thinking about what had happened to Shi Qian that day before she went to the Ninth Province.
What could make her cry before Sheng Xu? He had known her for years. He had never seen her cry.
Shi Qian scratched her head and said indifferently, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. 1 just couldn’t control my emotions that hour.”
Jiang Ci hesitated momentarily. He eventually said, “Is it because…Master Zhan?”
Huo Fei also looked at Shi Qian curiously. He couldn’t think of anyone other than Master Zhan, who cared for her so much and made Shi Qian cry.
“No.” Shi Qian immediately denied it. She spoke calmly after a few seconds of silence. “I just accidentally discovered that my deceased mother is still alive.” Jiang Ci perked wide-eyed.
Huo Fei was left open-mouthed.
“Your deceased mother was still alive?!!”
The thing goggle-eyed the two of them. They did not expect things to turn out like this!
“She… Is she also at Hillford?” Jiang Ci asked.
“Jiang Ci, I don’t want to talk about her. I know you’re worried about me so I told you about this. But please don’t ask me anything else, okay?” Shi Qian said..
