Chapter 616: Chapter 616: My Master Does Not See the Ji Family
Ning Xixi stared at him blankly, "Dabai... what’s wrong?"
Night had already fallen.
The starry sky by the river was exceptionally bright.
Ji Yebai’s deep and dark eyes flickered under the starlight, obscure and unpredictable.
Ning Xixi anxiously twisted the hem of her clothing.
Ji Yebai... did he despise her now?
With that thought flashing by, Ning Xixi’s mood instantly sank.
Sensing the young girl’s dejected spirits, Ji Yebai took a deep breath, "Erxi, I’ll take you home."
Despite his outward appearance of normalcy, Ning Xixi still detected a hint of hidden detachment.
It was as if he couldn’t wait to put distance between them.
Clenching her small fist tightly, she gave a low "Mhm" in response.
Silent all the way.
Ji Yebai’s motorcycle ride was rough, almost hitting a utility pole at one point.
Concerned about having an accident, he phoned the Ji Family’s driver to take Ning Xixi home first.
Ning Xixi leaned against the car window, curiously asking, "Aren’t you going home?"
"I have some urgent matters to deal with. Be good, go home and sleep early."
His figure disappeared into the vast night.
A trace of confusion swept through Ning Xixi’s eyes, what on earth was wrong with Ji Yebai?
...
Ying City, a manor in the suburbs.
Ji Yebai gripped the manor butler’s collar, his eyes bloodshot, veins on the back of his hand bulging, "I want to see your master!"
The butler replied calmly, "My master does not see members of the Ji Family."
"Shit!"
Ji Yebai cursed fiercely under his breath, flung the butler away, and kicked the engraved European-style iron gate.
Impossible...
How could it be...
It must all be a misunderstanding...
The phone rang again, his fingertips trembling so much he could hardly hold the phone steady.
In the mailbox lay an email at rest.
It was the latest investigation results...
He mustered the courage to open it, skimmed it quickly, then forced himself to read it over from the beginning.
Not even a single punctuation mark was spared.
He spent a good fifteen minutes on the few hundred words in the email, confirming the details several times back and forth before collapsing weakly against the iron gate.
His once bold and unrestrained gaze now filled with deep bewilderment.
"Young Master Ji, please go back," said the butler, saluting him before walking into the manor.
...
The next day.
Ning Xixi woke up in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and instinctively looked beside her.
No one was there.
The mattress was cold.
Meaning Ji Yebai had not returned all night.
Feeling uneasy, she went downstairs after washing up, Ji Dad was reading the newspaper, and Ji Mom smiled gently at her, "Xixi, come have breakfast!"
Everything was as lovely as before...
Ning Xixi slapped her own face, it must be her period about to start; she was thinking too wildly!
After breakfast, the Ji Family driver took her to school.
Class S.
Ning Xixi was copying Cheng Youran’s homework from yesterday when Xiao Xichen hurriedly burst in, grabbed Ning Xixi, and ran all the way to the sports department office, then stealthily closed the door behind him, as if committing a theft.
"Xiao Xichen, did you need me for something?" Ning Xixi asked suspiciously.
Slap!
Xiao Xichen slapped the desk, interrogating her with the tone of questioning a criminal, "Sister-in-law! What wrong have you done to my brother Ji? Last night he made plans with a bunch of our friends, and he got everyone drunk to the ground! It was terrifying! If I hadn’t been called back home for some issue, I might not have seen today’s sun!"
