The moment the billboard fell, Ji Shuyu was so scared that she squatted down with her head in her hands.
Snap——
The billboard wasn't big, but it was the metal frame that hit his head.
Ji Shuyu's mind immediately buzzed, "Ah——"
The accident here shocked passers-by, and they all came forward to check the situation.
"Little girl, you are not happy."
The billboard was opened and Ji Shuyu shook her head.
At this moment, the fear in his heart was greater than the pain, and Ji Shuyu's brain went blank for a moment.
"Miss Ji?"
Just as her ears were buzzing, a surprised voice sounded in her ears. It was Lu Qingyi.
Ji Shuyu shook her head. "I'm not feeling well. How are you?"
Lu Qingyi shook her head and said, "Let me take you to the hospital!" She helped her up.
"I really didn't."
"That won't work either." Lu Qingyi insisted. She took her to the hospital for a check-up and only felt relieved after confirming that it was just a superficial injury.
When she came out of the hospital, Lu Qingyi looked at her swollen forehead from time to time.
Ji Shuyu couldn't help laughing when she saw it, "Don't worry, it's really not a problem."
"You are too impulsive, kid." Lu Qingyi said disapprovingly.
Ji Shuyu was a little unhappy. "I can't react."
I didn’t think too much about it at the time.
Her answer made Lu Qingyi stunned for a moment.
Because of the Huo family, there were too many false pretenses around her, people deliberately trying to get close to her and flatter her. Even just now, her first reaction was that someone was deliberately approaching her...
Looking at the scratch on her forehead, Lu Qingyi felt guilty about her own suspicion. "Does it hurt?"
Ji Shuyu shook her head. Looking at her worried expression, Ji Shuyu smiled, but there was a slight bitterness in her smile.
"It's just a minor injury, you really don't have to worry."
"Girl, why do you have to be so strong? Just say it if it hurts!" Lu Qingyi rubbed her hair.
This intimate gesture made Ji Shuyu stunned for a moment.
"My daughter is about your age, and every time she gets a small cut she acts like a spoiled brat and asks for comfort."
When talking about her daughter, Lu Qingyi's face was full of smiles.
Ji Shuyu chuckled and slowly lowered her head.
If she had a choice, she might also want to lean on her parents' arms and act coquettishly!
But... her parents don't want her!
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Qingyi called her softly.
Ji Shuyu asked, "Are you from Yuncheng too?"
"I studied here when I was young." Lu Qingyi smiled, then looked around. "I haven't been here for twenty years. It's really changed a lot."
"Then I'll treat you to something to eat!" Ji Shuyu smiled.
"Ah."
Lu Qinyi agreed. Meeting her three times in such a short period of time could be considered a great fate. At the same time, she was also surprised at how much she liked this girl.
Ji Shuyu took her to a place near the university town and found an authentic snack bar.
Lu Qingyi enjoyed the meal and the two of them got along well. They surprisingly had similar tastes.
After they had their meal, they went to Lu Qingyi's school for a walk and talked about her love life when she was in school. Before they knew it, it was dark.
The two exchanged contacts before parting.
"Thank you for today." Lu Qingyi looked at the little girl in front of her, "I'm very happy."
"Me too." Ji Shuyu responded with a smile.
"You seem a little thinner than last time."
"I'm a bit busy."
"Don't work too hard." Lu Qingyi looked at her, then leaned over and hugged her.
These few simple words made Ji Shuyu's nose sore. He couldn't help but raise his arm, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath to smell the scent on her body.
Clearly, he didn't belong to her, and was clearly just a "stranger", but at this moment, his embrace made her inexplicably greedy.
"Thanks."
She felt very uncomfortable being cared about by someone she had only met two or three times.
I've been doing this for so many years, but lately I seem to be extra fragile and sensitive...
When she arrived at Xiziwan, the house was empty. She sent a message to Gu Xiuyuan asking when he would come, but there was no response.
In the past, she would never rush for his reply. She would usually send the message and then go about her own business.
But at this moment, she was eager to hear his voice, so she called him directly.
The call took a long time to connect. "Xiaoyu, I just saw the message. What's wrong?"
"When will you come?"
"I have a lot of work to do today, and I have a dinner party later." Gu Xiuyuan lowered his voice a little, as if he was having trouble speaking. "What's wrong?"
"No." She lay on the sofa and said aggrievedly.
It was already late at night when Gu Xiuyuan got home after finishing his social event. When he entered the house, he saw the little girl curled up on the sofa without changing her clothes.
"Why don't you go in..."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Shuyu threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"What's wrong? Why are you so clingy today?" Gu Xiuyuan chuckled. "Did you feel wronged while working?"
Ji Shuyu shook her head and hugged him a little tighter.
Gu Xiuyuan picked her up and kissed her forehead, only then did he discover the wound on her forehead.
"What happened to your head?" Gu Xiuyuan exclaimed, "Someone bullied you?!"
"No, I just accidentally... bumped into him." She held him tightly, "Xiuyuan, hug me, okay?"
Seeing her aggrieved look, Gu Xiuyuan's heart ached. "Xiaoyu, what happened?"
Ji Shuyu shook her head and rubbed against his arms again. "Actually, having you and grandma is enough for me." As she spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes. "Xiuyuan, will we always be together?"
"Yes." Gu Xiuyuan clenched his arms and guessed it in his mind.
She has been unhappy since she came from City A.
In fact, he contacted the dean later, but didn't get any clues.
So many years have passed, and no one has come to inquire about her. When asked about the things she carried with her, the dean said that she vaguely remembered a necklace, but she didn't know where the only thing that might be related to her body was lost.
As the little girl said, it might have been lost or stolen, and she herself didn't even remember.
The previous fire burned many old files, making some things more difficult to find.
Xiaoyu, I will help you. Even if you really can't find it, it doesn't matter. You still have me...
…
As the night deepens, inside the luxurious suite.
Huo Yuxuan stared at the maid beside her, her delicate makeup couldn't hide the distortion on her face.
Just because when she was removing her makeup, she pointed to a photo and asked: Is she beautiful?
The maid hesitated for a moment before saying "I can't compare to you" and then changed to what she is now.
The little maid bit her lips hard and slapped herself hard.
The older maid beside her signaled her not to cry, saying that if she upset the young lady at this time, the consequences would only be more miserable.
The young lady has always been gentle in front of her parents and even outsiders, but only those in her villa know how crazy and spoiled she is behind people.
When the Huo family was in internal strife, several major families backed by the Huo family also joined the battle, causing chaos. This daughter was abducted and abandoned as soon as she was born.
The Huo family searched for this treasure for many years.
The lady has always doted on her daughter, and out of guilt, she would satisfy whatever her daughter wanted.
"Get out of here." He kicked the maid away and stepped over her hand.
"Miss! The master and his wife are here."
Huo Yuxuan's expression changed instantly when she heard this...
