In the quiet night, in Ji Yueze"s private house, the crystal lamp"s bright light scattered across the hall. On the luxurious and modern sofa, Bai Yiyan had been sitting like a wooden chicken for a long time. Ji Yueze still hadn"t come back, so she was actually worried about her aunt and waiting for him at the same time.
However, she felt that Ji Yueze wouldn"t be coming back tonight.
He was definitely very angry, because his aunt had run away, which meant that she was guilty and had done even more wrong.
Bai Yiyan lowered her head, hiding her face deep in her palms, anxious and afraid.
Afraid that something bad would happen to his aunt, and afraid that the gap between Ji Xiaohan and her was getting deeper, in the end, they could only break up.
Why did the heavens treat her like this? It was not easy to fall in love, but it was so tortuous and difficult. They didn"t even have the chance to enjoy the beauty of being in love properly before they were thrown into the abyss, unable to escape.
She raised her head and looked at the crystal needle watch on the wall before her. The needle had already reached 12 o"clock.
It was already early in the morning!
Bai Yiyan had not rested for a day and had been in a state of anxiety. At this moment, she was tired and tired, but her mind was still incomparably clear. She could not sleep at all, only her eyelids constantly fighting.
She decided to wait a few more minutes. If Ji Yueze really wasn"t going to come back, then she wasn"t going to wait any longer.
Actually, she could have called Ji Yueze and asked where he was and if he would reply.
However, her sense of reason made her give up on this idea. Ji Yueze must be in a lot of pain and anger at this time. She didn"t dare to disturb him for fear of provoking him to a bigger temper.
Bai Yiyan glanced at the lights outside the window which were gradually dimming down. At this hour, everyone should be asleep.
Forget it, I won"t wait any longer. Bai Yiyan stood up and walked towards her bedroom.
Just as she was about to lie down, she heard the sound of the door being opened. Her whole body shuddered and she quickly got off the bed. When she walked out of the living room, she saw Ji Yueze walking towards the sofa with his eyes red.
"Did you drink?" When Bai Yiyan saw that his handsome face was flushed and his eyes were slightly red, she instantly knew that he was drunk and asked in a soft voice.
Ji Yueze didn"t answer her, his tall body directly fell into the sofa. His slender legs moved up and down, and he reached out his hands to press between his eyebrows, looking like he was going to fall asleep immediately.
Bai Yiyan"s heart skipped a beat when she saw his cold att.i.tude. Indeed, his aunt had done far more than that.
What should he do? She wanted to ask more, but she didn"t dare to.
It was as though he was stuck in the middle of a wall. He couldn"t move forward, nor could he retreat. There was no need to even mention how vexed he was.
"Let me pour you a cup of water!" Bai Yiyan rarely saw Ji Yueze drunk. At this moment, she saw his handsome face turn red and his breathing become heavier. She was at a loss and didn"t know how to take care of him.
The man didn"t say a word. He just pressed his hand to his forehead and closed his eyes, as if he was really asleep.
Bai Yiyan sighed lightly. Still, she walked to the dining room and brought him a cup of hot water.
"Your aunt hasn"t contacted you yet?" Ji Yueze suddenly opened his mouth and let out a cold breath.
Bai Yiyan"s hand that was putting down the cup trembled and the cup fell onto the table.
She bit her lip and softly said, "No, her phone is still turned off. I haven"t received any messages from her either!"
"Heh, she"s ru
ing away out of guilt!" Ji Yueze sneered.
"Guilty?" Bai Yiyan"s beautiful eyes instantly widened. She finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Ji Yueze, can you tell me what crime my aunt committed in order to let me know."
"Why should I tell you so that you can help her escape even further?" Ji Yueze was furious. When he thought about how his father was framed and died, he couldn"t help feeling angry and upset. However, there was nowhere for him to vent his anger. He could only vent it on Bai Yiyan.
Bai Yiyan"s expression froze. After a long while, she took a deep breath and said seriously, "If she really committed a crime, of course I won"t help her escape."
"Can"t you? "Didn"t you say that she was a great benefactor to you? What if she wants you to repay her kindness?" Ji Yueze"s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened as he stared at Bai Yiyan with a questioning look.
Bai Yiyan trembled again. It wasn"t impossible, but now that she couldn"t even contact her aunt, how could she return the favor?
"Ji Yueze, what"s your plan now?" "If living here bores you, I"ll move out tomorrow morning. When this matter is completely settled, can we talk about our matters again?" Bai Yiyan had already come to an understanding as she sat there in a daze. Since the truth couldn"t be changed, it was better for her to prepare mentally.
"You want to leave me?" Ji Yueze sat up on the sofa. He had a sickly look on his face before, but now, he looked furious. His gaze locked onto her. He loosened his arm and pinched her chin. "Bai Yiyan, you don"t have the right to break up!"
Bai Yiyan knew he was losing his temper again. Although she was scared, she forced herself to calm down and face it.
"I didn"t say I was going to break up. I just feel like we need to split up and calm down a bit!"
"I don"t agree!" Ji Yueze released his hand and said with a cold expression.
"But since I"m right in front of you every day, you must be feeling even more unhappy." Bai Yiyan knew her own limits. Since he hated his aunt, he must have had some sort of hatred towards her.
"As long as you hurry and find Bai Zhenzhen for me, I won"t argue with you!" Ji Yueze snorted.
Bai Yiyan"s beautiful eyes flashed a few times. She then bit her lips and asked again, "Can you tell me what crime my aunt has committed?!"
"You want to know?" Ji Yueze squinted and glanced at her.
"Yes, I want to know!" Bai Yiyan said with a serious expression.
"Do you believe that she is the murderer of my father?" Ji Yueze"s thin lips curled up into a sneer. His handsome face turned even more pale and cold.
"What?" Bai Yiyan had been prepared for this answer, but she was still shocked by it. Her whole body was paralyzed, and she almost lost her balance. She asked anxiously, "Definitely not. My aunt is very timid, she"s definitely ??"
"Shut up!" Ji Yueze didn"t want to hear her excuse for Bai Zhenzhen. His handsome eyes glared at her angrily, "Just because she pretends to be kind in front of you doesn"t mean that she can"t kill. My dad got into a car accident on the way home after seeing her, do you dare to say that she doesn"t have the chance to kill someone?"
"But why would she do such a thing? I remember that time, she wasn"t in need of money! " Bai Yiyan"s words were chaotic and her mind was blank. She couldn"t seem to understand why her aunt would do such a terrifying thing.
"What do you mean you don"t need money? What do you think she wanted at that time? It should be the position of the Mrs. Ji! " Ji Yueze sneered.
Bai Yiyan"s mind buzzed again. She still remembered how her aunt would hug her and say that once she became a rich and influential young mistress, she would take her to travel around the world.
