"You little brat, don't you know it's very impolite to answer other people's calls without permission?"
He muttered something, then reached out his finger to poke her forehead. The little girl burst into tears, which fell like raindrops.
Lin Que panicked and quickly said, "I haven't even scolded you yet, why are you crying like this?"
Xing Fei sobbed, "Has something happened to Nan Nan?"
"No……"
"Something must have happened to her!" Xing Fei sobbed. "That person just said that it was a car accident. The car was hit so badly, so she must be hurt too, right?"
"Which hospital is she in? Tell me, tell me!"
Seeing that Xing Fei was getting more and more agitated, Lin Que knew he couldn't hide it from her anymore, so he quickly held her down and comforted her, "She's alright for now."
"You're lying to me!" Xing Fei didn't believe him at all: "You big liar! I don't believe you. You said before that you didn't know where Nan Nan went. I'm going to find Nan Nan!"
Xing Fei pushed Lin Que away and was about to run away. Watching her back, Lin Que shouted, "Go ahead. Ji Zhinan isn't in the capital. You can travel all over the world. If you're lucky, you might actually find her."
Seeing Xing Fei stop, Lin Que asked, "Are you calm now?"
Xing Fei reluctantly turned around, wiping away her tears: "You must know what happened to Nan Nan, tell me."
"Little girl, you should focus on your studies and improve every day. Why do you need to know so much about adult matters?"
"I don't care." With that, Xing Fei lunged forward.
Lin Que was so frightened that he took two steps back and quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you."
Xing Fei sniffled and looked at him pitifully.
"Actually... I don't know much either. You know Ji Zhinan's background. His parents are both important figures. Those noble families inevitably have some internal conflicts, and Ji Zhinan was unlucky enough to be dragged into it."
Yi Bei, Qin Yu, and Ji Zhinan's older brother have all gone there, so I'm in charge of managing things back home.
Xing Fei understood: "Then... will something happen to Nan Nan?"
What are you thinking about?
Lin Que gave him an expression that said, "You and Ji Zhinan are probably not really best friends."
"Just think about how terrifying her backing is—her own father, mother, and husband. These three families could dominate the world, okay? Don't worry, Ji Zhinan will definitely live a long life. Outliving us won't be a problem!"
"..." What kind of consolation is this?
Xing Fei sobbed, "Then...why didn't you tell me before?"
"I'm thinking about the bigger picture, okay?" Lin Que also felt wronged: "This is a matter for a large family. How can we outsiders interfere? Besides, Ji Zhinan's company is still here. If the media knew that CEO ZN had an accident, your company's stock would have plummeted long ago."
ZN is now one of the top companies in Beijing, all thanks to Ji Zhinan's efforts. Many media outlets are now trying to interview this genius girl who can revive the company in a short time.
Domestic media outlets have a keen sense of smell; if news breaks now that ZN's chairman is in trouble, ZN will also be affected.
"Then...why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you?" Lin Que gave her a disgruntled look. "Tell you so I can see you cry like a dog?"
"Yi Bei said that the fewer people who know about this, the better. I had decided not to tell anyone. Who knew you, little girl, could hold out so long and stick with me to the end?"
