1653 Next Is Chai Qing (2)
The next day, Yuan Yuan was in a good mood. She woke up early in the morning and took the initiative to make breakfast for Chai Qing, calling her over to eat with her. Chai Qing had been on edge last night. Seeing that Sister Yuan seemed to have long forgotten what happened last night and was very good to her this morning, Chai Qing was completely relieved. She thought that Sister Yuan really treated her as one of her own. She sat opposite Yuan Yuan with a smile and continued to badmouth Yang Ji and the others as she ate breakfast.
After spending some time with Yuan Yuan, Chai Qing was well aware that she wasn’t as happy to see Yang Ji, Wang Jinyang, Li Xiaoyan, Jiang Mingguang and the others as she appeared.
On the contrary, she disliked Yang Ji and the others very much.
That made sense. Yuan Yuan had taken a fancy to Brother Xia; it would be strange if she liked Yan Liling’s friends. Chai Qing coaxed Yuan Yuan until she was all smiles and continued to badmouth the others; she forgot that she had also gotten close to Yan Liling back then and called herself one of her closest friends.
Chai Qing still had something on today, so Yuan Yuan didn’t keep her any longer after breakfast. Before Chai Qing left, however, she subconsciously asked, “Sister Yuan, didn’t you say before that Yang Ji would definitely die? When will he die?”
Chai Qing was selfish by nature and didn’t care if Yang Ji lived or died. The only thing she was worried about was who would be next after something happened to Yang Ji.
But Sister Yuan probably wouldn’t let anything happen to her, so she really didn’t care if Yang Ji died or not. She even gloated over the fact that Yang Ji would definitely die.
After getting some information from Yuan Yuan, Chai Qing planned to go and heckle Yang Ji. Who asked him to be so close to that Chi woman now? He even spoke up for her.
After listening to Chai Qing’s question, Yuan Yuan paused and her face changed drastically. She quickly regained her composure, but her face was indescribably stiff, as if Chai Qing had poked her in a sore spot. Her expression was very unnatural. After a long while, she forced a smile and replied perfunctorily, “Soon!”
Hearing that, Chai Qing was indeed very happy. She even said excitedly to Yuan Yuan, “Sister Yuan, I knew there’s nothing wrong with your predictions at all. You’re especially capable. That cowardly Chi woman simply can’t compare with you. No, that woman isn’t even worthy to carry your shoes!”
Chai Qing was used to sucking up to Yuan Yuan, but she didn’t notice Yuan Yuan’s face getting uglier and uglier. At the thought that Yang Ji and Huang Chong were fine, she felt that Chai Qing was mocking her instead. Yuan Yuan’s face was gloomy and uncertain. In the end, there wasn’t even a smile on her face. Her face was stiff as she said, “Don’t you still have something on? Aren’t you leaving first?”
Although Chai Qing saw that something was wrong, she didn’t think much of it since Sister Yuan had always been in a good mood when she was flattered before. This time, she continued to put down that Chi woman whom Sister Yuan couldn’t stand. If she badmouthed that woman, Sister Yuan definitely wouldn’t be unhappy. She immediately nodded. “Okay, let’s not talk about it. Sister Yuan, I really have to go first. I still have something on! Someone asked me out this morning!”
When she said the last sentence, Chai Qing’s tone was deliberately ambiguous, in order to reassure the other party.
There had indeed been a man who had asked her out recently. If Sister Yuan hadn’t taken a fancy to Brother Xia, Chai Qing definitely wouldn’t have been able to bear to let go of him. However, Sister Yuan liked Brother Xia, so Chai Qing naturally had to be a little more tactful. Occasionally, she would feel a little resentful. After all, there were very few men who were as outstanding as Brother Xia and had good looks and a good family background.
Sometimes, she couldn’t help but be jealous of Yuan Yuan’s good fortune. Why did an ability as amazing as being able to read a person’s physiognomy fall into Yuan Yuan’s lap, but not hers? Jealousy flashed through her mind for one moment, but thinking of how her life was still in Yuan Yuan’s hands, Chai Qing didn’t dare let her imagination run wild. She carefully touched up her makeup and went out in a good mood.
Although she didn’t think much of the man, to be pursued satisfied her vanity.
After touching up her makeup, Chai Qing left in a hurry, and didn’t realize that Yuan Yuan had stopped eating breakfast. She placed her chopsticks on the table and stared at Chi Shuyan’s back with a dark and gloomy gaze. Her lips curled up into a cold smile, and there was no warmth in her eyes.
Ever since Chi Shuyan took the initiative to give Huang Chong a Safety Talisman, his injuries healed very quickly. Huang Chong had been a little listless a day or two before the incident, but was now especially energetic. Wang Jinyang, Li Xiaoyan, Yi Junzhong and Jiang Mingguang clicked their tongues in wonder. Of course, they were skeptical and wondered if the Safety Talisman was really that effective. Most of them felt that it was probably a psychological effect, especially Jiang Mingguang.
Yang Ji, on the other hand, believed in the talismans from Master Chi. In short, there was nothing better than the fact that Huang Chong could survive. As for the previous mishap, it had already been resolved through Director Feng. No one else could be blamed for Huang Chong’s accident. Technically speaking, it was that worker who had been unlucky enough to run into Huang Chong, so the worker wasn’t made to cover the medical fees. Huang Chong even asked Xia Mingcheng for help; yesterday, he had already taken the initiative to go to the worker’s company to help explain things.
With Xia Mingcheng’s family background and Feng Yuanlin, the unlucky worker was indeed fine and could still keep his job.
Knowing that the unlucky worker still had a job with the company, the guilt in Huang Chong’s heart finally disappeared.
“When will Master Chi come?” Huang Chong couldn’t help but mutter again. After a pause, he immediately asked Jiang Mingguang, “Brother Jiang, do you think that Mr. Gu who came with you yesterday really knows Master Chi?”
