Ji Qianya looked at Ji Jingchen's back as he left, a sinister flash in her eyes, and she was so angry that her back teeth were about to break. She never expected that Ji Jingchen would actually protect and believe that bitch Li Shu so much.
"Qianya, you should go back to your room and rest first." Ye Lan leaned weakly on the sofa, the weariness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows could not be concealed. He was like a deflated ball. He said softly: "Don't think too much. What happened today is not your fault. It has nothing to do with you."
Ji Qianya collected her thoughts and reached out to rub Ye Lan's temples. "Mom, what about my sister?"
Ye Lan didn't say anything and closed her eyes. All she could think about were what Ji Jingchen had just said. She couldn't help but start to wonder, did she really misunderstand Li Shu?
Actually, now that I think about it, what Jing Chen said was right. Those seemingly intimate photos didn't mean anything. The two of them didn't even hold hands...
Ji Qianya's eyes flashed when she saw this, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart. She quickly continued to speak: "Mom, how about I call my sister to check?"
Ye Lan's eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes. She sighed and said absentmindedly, "Let her be. Anyway, I can't control them at all now. If I say a few words to them, I will have to endure their anger."
She gently pushed away Ji Qianya's hand that was rubbing her temple, slowly stood up, her voice revealing a bit of fatigue, "Qianya, Mom is a little tired, I'm going back to my room to rest first."
Ji Qianya also stood up and put her hand on her arm, "Mom, let me help you back to your room."
Ye Lan just wanted to be alone now, so she patted Ji Qianya's hand and said, "No need, I can go up by myself."
Ji Qianya's eyes darkened, and she nodded obediently, smiling and saying, "Okay."
Ji Qianya didn't withdraw her gaze until Ye Lan's figure disappeared from her sight. The smile on the corner of her lips disappeared in an instant, and her face became extremely ugly, almost dark.
She sat down on the sofa in a bad mood, clutching her cell phone, her face distorted. She never expected that this incident tonight not only did not hurt Li Shu, but hurt herself instead.
Now she didn't know what Ye Lan was thinking. She wondered if she had listened to everything Ji Jingchen said and turned around to be nice to Li Shu.
Ji Qianya took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, her eyes falling on the screen of her mobile phone which had been turned off. If she had known earlier, she should have stopped Ye Lan from calling Ji Jingchen. She might as well have called Ji Heng who was on a business trip.
Now that the photos have been deleted, there is nothing she can do but wait for the next opportunity.
But the most important thing right now is to coax Ye Lan first.
Thinking of this, Ji Qianya immediately stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
......
On the other side, after Li Shu and Qin Can finished their meal, they went directly to the community where Chen Bin lived.
Because he had been informed in advance, Chen Bin was already waiting at the entrance of the community when the two arrived.
"Master Li, you are here." Chen Bin looked at the girl getting out of the car and immediately stepped forward to greet her.
Li Shu closed the car door behind her and hummed softly, "Go in."
Chen Bin nodded, glanced at Qin Can who was walking around the car on the other side, greeted him, and said, "Okay."
Because it is an old community, the facilities inside are very dilapidated, and even the street lights flicker, some are bright and some are not.
Moreover, most of the people living here are middle-aged and elderly people. When night falls, they turn off the lights and go to bed early. So at this time, except for a few street lights, the community is almost pitch black.
There were not many people walking on the road, it was very quiet.
Qin Can glanced around and subconsciously leaned closer to Li Shu. He said to Chen Bin, "Aren't you scared coming back from a takeout delivery alone at night? Why does this neighborhood seem a little scary at night?"
Chen Bin scratched his head when he heard this. "I often don't finish my food delivery work until one or two in the morning. I've been to places that are even darker and scarier than this. I've been doing it so often that I don't feel anything anymore."
He paused, then added, "Besides, I have Master Li's amulet with me, so I'm even less afraid."
Speaking of amulets, Li Shu remembered that what she sold him was a simple version, which she drew by temporarily finding things to make up the number, so the effect was naturally not as good as the current one.
She pulled out two amulets from her pocket, stretched out her arm over Qin Can in the middle, and handed them to Chen Bin, saying concisely, "This is an upgraded version. It can withstand three attacks and reflect the damage back to the opponent."
Chen Bin took it with both hands, his eyes lit up, "Thank you, Master Li, how much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
Li Shu glanced at him and refused calmly, "No, this is for you."
Chen Bin nodded with emotion and clenched the amulet in his hand, "Master Li, you are so kind to me!"
Qin Can, who was walking in the middle, listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help feeling a little jealous. As a direct disciple, he had never received such free treatment.
However, Qin Can himself was not the kind of person who kept secrets. Thinking of this, he looked at the girl beside him with some resentment and directly said what was in his mind, "Master, you have never given me anything..."
Li Shu raised her eyebrows. After hearing what he said, it seemed to be true. After all, Qin Can had already become her disciple and entered her Qingfeng Temple. She should indeed give him something.
She coughed lightly, raised her hand and patted Qin Can's shoulder, whispering soothingly: "Don't worry, the master has prepared something good for you, and will give it to you in a few days."
Qin Can's mood instantly brightened, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Okay!"
As they were talking, the three of them soon walked into the apartment building.
Chen Bin took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight. "Master Li, there's no light in this corridor. I'll walk ahead and shine the light."
Li Shu nodded slightly, "Okay."
Qin Can looked up at the dark corridor above and couldn't help rubbing his arms. "Damn, there's not even a light in here. If someone were to sneak up on you late at night, you wouldn't even know. The safety factor is too low."
Chen Bin was the first to walk up the stairs and explained, "So most of the people living in this community are elderly people who don't go out at night. As for me living here, it's mainly because the rent is cheap and it's close to the university town, so it's relatively convenient for getting takeout."
"It's okay for me, a grown man, but it's really unsafe for a girl to live here alone."
"That's right." Qin Can nodded and looked at the girl next to him who hadn't moved yet. "Master, you walk between us. I'll follow behind."
Li Shu hummed, put her hands in her coat pockets, and walked up the stairs slowly.
Qin Can subconsciously turned his head to look at the equally dark scene behind him, coughed dryly, and quickly followed.
