Shi Qian scratched her head. “If I’m free this weekend, I’ll go.”
Sheng Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
“I’m busy.”
Sheng Xu was at a loss for words.
Shi Qian suddenly stopped while they walked in the alley. She returned to the man. It was like she had recalled something.
Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe saw her run back and looked at her in confusion.
Shi Qian walked to the man’s side and took his phone from his pocket. She removed the SIM card and returned the phone to the man’s pocket.
The police nearby had already rushed over and quickly seized the killer when they walked into the alley again.
The three continued to walk the school.
Sheng Xu glanced at Shi Qian’s jacket and said, “What is your plan with the gun?”
“I’ll keep it for a while,” Shi Qian said lazily.
She could have something to investigate in the afternoon.
The three had just reached the school gate.
They happened to meet Shi Muxue and Su Jinxuan.
Shi Muxue delicately waved goodbye to Su Jinxuan. It was indeed pretentiously for others who knew her.
They looked at each other lovingly.
Shi Muxue noticed three people walk over. She saw Shi Qian with surprise.
‘Why was she still here?’
‘Hadn’t the killer even started to plot? Who knew what he was stalling for?’
Shi Muxue glanced at Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe before her gaze fell on Shi Qian’s face. She called out softly, “Big Sister.”
Shi Qian glanced at her coldly before she turned around and entered the school.
Sheng Xu and Lu Sizhe didn’t even look at Shi Muxue. They treated her like air.
Shi Muxue appeared delighted. But something made her upset!
“Xue’er, is that girl your sister?” Su Jinxuan asked in surprise. Wasn’t she the girl with Young Master Huo when the Huo family’s resort opened?”
Shi Muxue nodded.
Su Jinxuan would find out about this sooner or later, so Shi Muxue did not plan to hide it from him anymore.
“I’m sorry, Brother Xuan. I didn’t mean to hide it from you at that time. Sister had a conflict with the family. When 1 first arrived at Imperial University, my Sister told me not to tell anyone about our relationship.
Dad has always been angry with Sister and doesn’t want me to say it. I don’t dare to disobey them, so I didn’t tell you about our relationship.”
Su Jinxuan did not blame Shi Muxue. Instead, his heart ached. “Xue’er, this must be hard on you.”
Shi Muxue smiled. “Brother Xuan, 1 don’t feel wronged. Father treats me very well.
“Sister must be a little fierce, but she is mighty. She has superb kung fu skills and was especially good at fighting.”
Su Jinxuan frowned sparingly. He wouldn’t want to hear Shi Muxue still praise Shi Qian. Disdain and anger filled his eyes.
He was even glad that Shi Qian had left the Shi family early. Otherwise, Shi Muxue would have suffered a lot more.
“Alright,” Su Jinxuan said gently. “Go back to school. I’ll pick you up in the afternoon.”
Shi Muxue immediately said, “It’s alright, Brother Xuan. I’ll go shopping with a classmate in the afternoon. I might be late. You don’t have to pick me up.”
“I see. Go home soon. It’s not safe.”
“Okay, I understand. Goodbye, Brother Xuan,” Shi Muxue responded.
She wouldn’t want to deal with Su Jinxuan in the afternoon. Everyone in school knew he pursued her. Nothing was yet official between them. She would only meet him at her convenience. Of course, not in the view of Su Jinxuan.
Shi Muxue did not go anywhere but went straight home after her class in the afternoon.
She immediately locked the door of her room.
Then, she ran to the bed and took her phone from under it..
