It was half-past ten, but Jian Ai didn’t receive Jian Yichen’s message.
Qinghuan and the rest, who had already forgotten about this matter initially, became worried. Guan Tao looked at Jian Ai and asked, “Her brother hasn’t replied to your message yet?”
Jian Ai shook her head and felt worried again. Did something happen to Jian Yiyi?
“Could he have forgotten?” Xia Qinghuan guessed.
“No.” Jian Ai denied it without thinking. If Jian Yiyi went home, Jian Yichen would send her a message.
Just as they were letting their imaginations run wild, Jian Ai’s phone rang. She looked down and saw that it was Jian Yichen.
It was not a message, but a call. This shocked everyone.
Jian Ai quickly picked it up. “Yichen!”
“My sister hasn’t come home. My father and I will be at Yaochi soon. Can you come out for a while?” Jian Yichen asked simply.
Jian Ai’s heart thumped, but she agreed. “Alright, I’ll be right out.”
“What’s going on?” Lin Yi asked Jian Ai with a solemn expression.
Jian Ai hung up the phone and looked at everyone’s faces gloomily. She whispered, “Jian Yiyi didn’t go home.”
Everyone: “…”
Without having time to explain, Jian Ai stood up. “You guys play first. Yichen and his father are rushing over. I’ll go to the hall.”
“We’ll go with you,” Qinghuan immediately said.
Jian Ai shook her head. “I can go by myself. I’m the only one who saw Jian Yiyi tonight. Moreover, my mother is the general manager here. It’s convenient for her to help. It’ll be a mess if there are too many people. Wait for me here!”
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Jian Ai put on her coat and left the room.
She took the elevator to the first floor. Jian Yichen and Jian Changsheng had not arrived yet, so Jian Ai could only stand in a conspicuous position and wait.
Two minutes later…
“Senior Sister Jian Ai!”
Jian Yichen saw Jian Ai as soon as he entered and immediately shouted.
Jian Ai looked up and smiled at Jian Yichen. “Yichen!”
Jian Changsheng, who was following Jian Yichen, stopped in his tracks when he saw Jian Ai. He didn’t know that the classmate his son was talking about was Xiao Ai.
Moreover, he heard Xiao Ai call his son Yichen. He knew his son well. He would only let someone he was very close to call him by his nickname.
He was a little excited. This excitement was inappropriate, but Jian Changsheng couldn’t help it.
Jian Ai naturally saw Jian Changsheng as well. At this moment, his expression was a little strange. Jian Ai didn’t think too much about it and thought it was because he was worried about his daughter. She immediately called out politely, “Uncle Jian!”
This ‘Uncle’ instantly pulled Jian Changsheng back to his senses.
Jian Changsheng suppressed his emotions and hid his expression. He forced himself to look at Jian Ai calmly. “Hello.”
This was not the first time the two of them had met. Because of the competition, Jian Ai had never had a good impression of Jian Changsheng. However, because of Jian Yiyi, whom she did not have a good impression of, she had to interact closely with Jian Changsheng.
Fortunately, she saw Jian Yichen, whom she had not seen for a long time and this made Jian Ai feel better.
“Jian Yiyi didn’t go back?” Jian Ai looked at Jian Yichen and asked.
Jian Yichen shook his head. Before he could say anything, Jian Changsheng asked, “Did you come out to play with Yiyi?”
Jian Ai denied, “No, she went out to play with a Year Three senior. There should be others, but I didn’t see anyone else, so I’m not sure who they were.”
