Chapter 1091: The art of self-pity (1)
Translator: DaoistLUbAbJ
After helping Lin Jiayi to her feet, Xia Shangzhou immediately asked, “Are You Alright?”
Lin Jiayi remained silent as she stared unblinkingly at the gradually disappearing car.
Seeing that Lin Jiayi remained silent, Xia Shangzhou assumed that she was injured somewhere, and his tone grew increasingly anxious as he asked, “What’s wrong? Are You Hurt Somewhere?”
As he spoke, Xia Shangzhou scanned Lin Jiayi from head to toe.
Lin Jiayi snapped back to her senses and shook her head at Xia Shangzhou. After which, she glanced in the direction of the car before replying, “No, I’m fine...”
The car had already disappeared without a trace, but Lin Jiayi still stared into the distance for a moment before turning her gaze back to Xia Shangzhou. “How about you? Are You Alright?”
“I’m fine...”as Xia Shangzhou spoke, he asked worriedly, “Are you really alright?”
“I’m fine...”Lin Jiayi smiled faintly.
Only then did Xia Shangzhou feel relieved. “Let’s go then. The weather is a little cold, and you don’t wear much. Don’t get sick from the cold.”
Lin Jiayi didn’t say a word as she raised her foot.
Perhaps due to the previous incident, Xia Shangzhou became much more cautious when crossing the road.
After getting into the car, Xia Shangzhou told the driver the address.
The driver replied with a ‘alright’before stepping on the accelerator.
As the car slowly moved forward, Lin Jiayi inadvertently glanced out of the window and caught sight of a familiar figure.
She subconsciously shouted ‘stop’, and the driver was startled by her words. He abruptly stepped on the brake, and by the time she looked out of the window, the figure had already disappeared.
“What’s Wrong?”Xia Shangzhou followed Lin Jiayi’s line of sight and saw the empty road.
Lin Jiayi shook her head. “It’s nothing. Maybe I was wrong.”
“Wrong about what?”Xia Shangzhou asked curiously.
Lin Jiayi wasn’t in a hurry to reply to Xia Shangzhou. Instead, she turned to the driver and said, “Let’s go.”Then, she turned to Xia Shangzhou and said, “I thought I saw someone familiar, but I didn’t...”
“Oh,”Xia Shangzhou replied without asking further.
Lin Jiayi didn’t say anything else either.
It was very quiet in the car, but the way she looked out the window gradually turned cold without Xia Shangzhou noticing it.
Even though she didn’t see anything when she turned her gaze over, that unintentional glance of hers was definitely not a mistake... that familiar figure must be Qin Ting.
Why was he on the road in the middle of the night?
For some reason, Lin Jiayi suddenly recalled the car that had nearly collided with her earlier.
She didn’t know if it was because of her sensitivity, but she couldn’t help but feel that what had just happened wasn’t a pure accident.
With that thought in mind, Lin Jiayi whipped out her phone and sent a message to her assistant.
After returning home, Lin Jiayi took a shower. By the time she came out, it was already half past twelve. By the time she climbed into bed, her phone screen lit up. It was the message her assistant had sent her earlier.
“CEO Lin, I’ve contacted the driver. He does know Mr. Qin. He also told me that Mr. Qin asked him to help him create a scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress. The driver repeatedly assured me that he didn’t plan to do anything to you, and he even said that Mr. Qin was right beside him. His main motive was that Mr. Qin wanted to play a cruel trick on himself...”
Sure enough, the driver had something to do with Qin Ting..
He was really unscrupulous for profit. Not to mention her, he even dared to joke about his own life!
