"This...this...He Jingjing is not in Ziqing's room? Then where did she go? I clearly went to her room and there was no one there?" A trace of confusion flashed across Wu Xiuli's face. After He Jingjing returned to the Wen family that day, she had not shown up. Wu Xiuli even went upstairs to check, but there was no one in He Jingjing's room. In addition to Wen Ziqing's room, Wu Xiuli also searched several empty guest rooms in the Wen family. Otherwise, she would not have believed that He Jingjing had been with Wen Ziqing for the past two days. Of course, Wu Xiuli had such an idea, in fact, it was also related to her long-standing hope. Wu Xiuli hoped that Wen Ziqing and He Jingjing would cause something to happen so that her wish would come true.
"If it's not in her room, then it must be in mine? That's a strange theory." Wen Ziqing's voice rang out coldly. As a cultivator, how could Wen Ziqing not understand the true purpose of Wu Xiuli's "singing, reciting, acting and fighting"?
"Yes! If He Jingjing is not in her room, then she must be in Ziqing's room? She can't go out? Or is it you..." Wen Yiran stared at Wu Xiuli with suspicion. Although Wen Yiran did not say the words "hid her in Ziqing's room", everyone present understood.
"It's not me, it's not me." Wu Xiuli felt a chill in her heart under Wen Yiran's cold gaze, and she quickly waved her hands to distance herself. Even when Wen Yiran got angry, Wu Xiuli was still frightened.
At this time, several people downstairs heard the noise upstairs and came upstairs.
"What's wrong? Jingjing is missing? I clearly saw her go upstairs yesterday, and I even heard her throwing things and throwing tantrums in the room after she went upstairs! I don't know what's wrong with this child." Feng Xueying walked to the door of Wen Ziqing's room, stretched her neck and looked inside, as if she wanted to see a living person out of Wen Ziqing's room.
Feng Xueying actually didn't know whether He Jingjing was in her room or not. She just heard Wu Xiuli say that He Jingjing and Wen Ziqing were together, so she believed it. Over the years, the Wen Ziyun siblings had always stayed by Feng Xueying's side. Compared to the talkative Wen Ziqing, the Wen Ziyun siblings, who were sweet-talkers and good at pleasing Feng Xueying, obviously won Feng Xueying's favor, and also made Feng Xueying's heart lean towards Wu Xiuli.
"Could it be that He Jingjing went out on her own and forgot to tell anyone?" Wen Yulun couldn't help but speak up for Wen Ziqing, secretly feeling sorry for him. No wonder Ziqing had preferred living at the Zhao family for so many years rather than back home. He'd only been there a few days, and he was already an eyesore to Wu Xiuli. And his mother, who knew what had happened these past few years? She was always being led around by Wu Xiuli, believing everything she said.
"I'll look carefully again." At this time, Wu Xiuli had already opened He Jingjing's door and walked in. The sheets on the big bed in the guest room were smooth and there was no sign that anyone had slept on it.
Wen Yulong followed behind Wu Xiuli. His many years of military experience allowed him to see the open window in He Jingjing's room at a glance.
The Wen family's windows were large glass windows, more than a meter long and wide, with no lattices. The windowsill was also low, less than seventy centimeters from the ground.
Wen Yulong stood by the window and looked out, and immediately saw the curled up figure of a woman under the windowsill.
Wen Yulong was startled and jumped off the windowsill. It must be said that Wen Yulong's skills are quite good. He is over 40 years old and he jumped from the second floor without any injury.
"Xiu Li, come down and take a look. Is this person He Jingjing?" Wen Yulong had met He Jingjing once nine years ago. At that time, He Jingjing was a little girl in her teens. Now He Jingjing is a grown-up girl. Wen Yulong was afraid that he had recognized the wrong person, so he quickly asked Wu Xiu Li to go down and identify her.
Fortunately, although He Jingjing closed her eyes, Wen Yulong was standing close enough to hear her long breathing.
Wen Yulong breathed a sigh of relief. He had been truly afraid that He Jingjing had died. Whether it was by jumping or falling from a building, if someone died in their home, they wouldn't be able to explain the situation even if they had a mouth full of words.
"Ah? Oh, it seems to be He Jingjing. Why is this child so depressed?" Wu Xiuli recognized the bright red down jacket on He Jingjing, exclaimed in surprise, and turned to run downstairs.
"Hey, Old Wen, He Jingjing is not dead, right? Nothing will happen to our family, right?" Feng Xueying was at the door and was knocked off balance by Wu Xiuli's hurried figure rushing downstairs. She quickly grabbed Wen Yiran's arm beside her and managed to steady herself.
"It's okay, this is the second floor." Wen Yiran didn't hear clearly and thought Feng Xueying was asking if He Jingjing was okay. He immediately estimated the distance between the window and the ground and comforted Feng Xueying.
"I'm saying our family won't be blamed, right? It's all Ziqing's fault. He should have brought someone home for a visit." Feng Xueying rolled her eyes at Wen Ziqing, who was standing by, feeling very dissatisfied. After the He family fell, He Jingjing had lost her use in Feng Xueying's heart. Feng Xueying was very dissatisfied with Wen Ziqing's move to bring He Jingjing home. Feng Xueying selectively forgot that she was still flattering He Jingjing more than ten years ago!
"Why are you talking about this now? Yulun, call an ambulance right away!" Wen Yiran seemed a little unhappy when he saw Feng Xueying putting the blame on Wen Ziqing whether she had something wrong or not.
Wen Yulun had already taken care of things without Wen Yiran calling out.
Watching Wen Yiran and his wife hurried to the backyard, Wen Yulun didn't join in the fun. Instead, he put his arm around Wen Ziqing's shoulders and scolded him with a smile, "You little brat, you're getting more and more sinister as you grow older. Tell your uncle if you're the one behind this."
Wen Ziqing's upper body was pulled slightly tilted by Wen Yulun. He lowered his head and slipped out of Wen Yulun's control like a loach, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
From childhood to adulthood, Wen Ziqing and Wen Yulun have spent much more time together than Wen Yulong. Wen Yulun has always been very good to Wen Ziqing, so good that he is willing to pay attention to some of Wen Ziqing's small habits.
Wen Yulun noticed when Wen Yulong spotted He Jingjing earlier, but only Wen Ziqing showed no reaction. Everyone else was more or less stunned by He Jingjing's "fall." Only Wen Ziqing didn't even glance out the window. This suggests that Wen Ziqing must have known He Jingjing was lying outside the window.
"Uncle, you're the one from our family." Wen Ziqing didn't want to hide it from Wen Yulun, so he gave him a thumbs-up. He knew that this "fall" story, full of loopholes, might be hidden from others, but not from Wen Yulun. After all, Wen Yulun didn't have any chaotic thoughts in his mind. Unlike Wen Yulong and the others, they would first consider whether something would affect them.
