Chapter 1081: Yu Yao’s Heart Hurts, Overtaking Fourth Senior Brother (1)
Yu Yao paused for a moment, unable to grasp the meaning of the words immediately. “Wh-What?” he stammered.
“It’s not Ji Qingwei,” the middle-aged man sighed. “Young Master Yu, you have mistaken the person.”
It felt as if a great hammer had struck him on the head, leaving his mind blank. His face turned ashen, and he shouted in anger, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”
It was precisely because of that kidnapping incident that Ji Qingwei had dragged him out, allowing him to escape.
This had been his last remaining pillar of self-comfort.
Now someone was telling him it wasn’t true?!
...
“I’m not talking nonsense. The one who truly saved you was Miss Qingyao from the Ji family.” The middle-aged man’s expression was calm. “Young Master Yu, have you never considered that Ji Qingwei is a few years younger than you? How could a five-year-old child possibly save you?”
Yu Yao pressed his lips together, his complexion growing even paler.
He had indeed pondered this question, but the Ji Longtai couple had insisted that it was Ji Qingwei who saved him.
More importantly, Ji Qingwei’s health had deteriorated during that time.
In the past, Ji Qingwei had been fragile and beautiful; he had never doubted her.
The middle-aged man continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ji Longtai yourself and see if they are lying.”
Yu Yao clenched his fists and rushed back to the hospital room.
Had they known it would come to this, they would never have done so.
At least the Ji family could have had a path to survival.
But now, they had lost everything.
Old Master Ji did not have the same luck as the Ji Longtai couple. After all, once a person was dead, they could not return, and he had perished due to a lack of luck.
The Ji family was completely erased from Sijiu City.
Once renowned, the Ji family had now vanished, becoming a laughingstock among other prestigious families.

At noon, after finishing lunch, Si Fuqing returned to the Thousand Army Alliance.
Ji Qingyao had already awakened and was chatting with Mu Qingmeng.
“How are you feeling?” Si Fuqing sat down by the window. “Are you okay? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?”
Ji Qingyao felt as if she had slept for a very long time, and she had no adverse reactions.
From Mu Qingmeng, she learned that it was Si Fuqing’s timely arrival that had saved her from disaster.
Once again, Si Fuqing had rescued her.
Ji Qingyao wanted to rise to pay her respects, but Si Fuqing pressed her down. “It’s just a small matter.”
Ji Qingyao was momentarily taken aback. She lowered her head and took a deep breath. “Thank you, Miss Si. If you ever need anything, I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”
“You’re my fan, so I must protect you,” Si Fuqing replied lazily, her tone indifferent. “If it really comes to fire and water, I’ll take the mountains and cross the flames; it won’t be your turn.”
