Chapter 655: Chapter 655 Ning Xixi is Injured
Luoshen Villa is a property owned by Ji Qing.
At this moment, inside a tranquil villa within the villa complex.
In the living room, the fragrance of tea lingers. Ji Qing personally brews the tea, his movements elegant and graceful.
Pouring a cup of tea for both Ji Yebai and Ning Xixi, he speaks up, "Have a taste."
Ji Yebai sips lightly and then sets down the cup. With slender fingers, he taps lightly on the tabletop, seemingly contemplating how to broach a certain topic.
Ning Xixi drinks several cups of tea without a care in the world, and Ji Qing, infected by her cheerfulness, asks with a smile, "Do you like drinking tea?"
"It’s alright, I don’t really know much about tea tasting," Ning Xixi honestly shakes her head, her smile crescent-shaped, "But I think the tea you made is delicious! It has a hint of clear sweetness. Did you add jasmine flowers?"
Ji Qing lifts the teapot lid to reveal a few jasmine petals indeed floating inside.
"Wow, I guessed right!" Ning Xixi blinks, proudly saying to Ji Yebai, "Am I not impressive?"
Ji Yebai affectionately strokes her head, "Xixi, would you like to go walk around the garden? I’d like to discuss some matters with Mr. Ji."
Ning Xixi nods understandingly, "Got it, you guys chat."
She happily skips her way out.
Ji Qing also dismisses the servants.
"Speak your mind."
"It’s not easy to meet with Mr. Ji," Ji Yebai jests, "Do you detest the Ji Family that much? Not only did you leave the clan, but you don’t even want to see the younger members of the Ji Family?"
Ji Qing appears unworried, "You and I, it seems, have no necessity to meet."
Ji Yebai clenches his fist, "You should know why I’m here."
"Why should I know your purpose?"
The two spar with words, and Ji Yebai, growing weary of it, gets straight to the point, "Did you and Song Weiyang have a child together?"
Ji Qing’s expression changes instantly, "What do you mean? Weiyang has only ever married Ning Jingshen, and I’ve investigated; she only has one child. I won’t allow you to slander her!"
"She lived with you before her marriage, didn’t she?" Ji Yebai presses him, trying to find some inconsistency in Ji Qing’s expression.
A flash flickers in the depths of Ji Qing’s eyes, revealing a change of color.
He recalls that night... that night that should never have happened...
When he awoke, Weiyang was lying in his embrace, having fallen into unconsciousness.
Afterward, he was forcibly taken away by his parents, so he himself is unclear whether anything actually happened between him and Song Weiyang.
If they did do something that night, the child that might have been born would indeed be about the same age as Ning Xixi...
With a clunk, Ji Qing knocks over a teacup nearby, spilling tea all over the table.
Ji Yebai purses his lips, his whole being seemingly enveloped, devoured by a frosty chill...
As they face off, a maid suddenly hurries in, full of apologies, "Young Master Ji, the young lady who was with you, she’s been injured..."
Ji Yebai stands up abruptly, his tone harsh, "What did you say?"
Damn it, how did Xixi get hurt?
The maid stammers, unable to explain properly.
Ji Yebai strides past her, taking long strides out. Hearing that Ning Xixi has been injured, Ji Qing follows with equal urgency.

Next to a rockery in the estate, Ning Xixi clutches her bloodied arm, the pain evident on her delicate little face, while two girls with the air of little gangster girls stand arrogantly before her.
"Ning Xixi, what gives you the right to come to a place like this? Get lost now!"
