“h.e.l.lo—” What’s up?
Before she could speak further, the other’s urgent voice sounded first.
“Sister Pei Ge, don’t leave your house!”
Qin Qitong’s voice was full of worry and anxiety that it somehow scared her. She only recovered after a while.
“What’s wrong? What happened? Why are you so anxious?”
An ominous feeling grew in her.
“I can’t explain it right now! Where are you? I’ll come to you!”
“I… I’m in a taxi heading to the capital’s main hospital right now; we can talk at the hospital if there’s anything.”
Noting the anxiety of the person on the other end, she reckoned that it would be easier to talk in person and told the girl to meet her at the hospital.
Unexpectedly, the other got more anxious when she heard that.
“Sister Pei Ge, don’t go to the hospital! You mustn’t go there!”
“Huh? Qitong, what exactly happened? Why can’t I go to the hospital?”
She knitted her brows tightly together.
“Just get the driver to turn around now! Go home first! In any case, don’t come to the hospital!” The girl seemed to have thought of something at this point. “Oh, right! Don’t go to the apartment you share with my cousin, either!”
“Qitong, what are you talking about? You’re not making any sense? Just tell me directly.”
The uneasiness inside her grew at the la.s.s’s convoluted words.
“Aiya! Just listen to me for now; there’s no time to explain it to you, but you’ll only get hurt if you come to the hospital at this moment!”
“…” Before she could respond, she saw the taxi stop.
“Miss, we’ve reached the capital’s hospital.”
The moment the driver stopped the cab, Tang Xiaoyu paid the fare and opened the door before she could talk her out of it.
“Come on, Ge Ge; let’s go see auntie.”
As she spoke, her best friend closed the door on her side.
Seeing this, she could only open the door and get out of the taxi as well.
“Qitong, I’m already at the capital’s hospital. I’ll get going first.”
“Sister Pei Ge, you can’t get out of—”
All of a sudden, her phone was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by her best friend so she did not get to hear the rest of the girl’s words.
“Who are you talking? You’ve been on the phone the whole ride here. Stop dilly-dallying. If there’s anything, you can talk after we visit auntie.”
With that, her best friend grumpily hung up on Qin Qitong.
“Xiaoyu… how can you hang up my call…” She knitted her brows tightly.
The girl clearly had something to tell her…
“Fine. You can call her once we reach auntie’s ward, okay?” Tang Xiaoyu curled her lips and returned her phone to her.
Looking at the smile on her best friend’s face, Pei Ge could only stash her phone in her bag.
I’ll call Qitong after I bring Xiaoyu to mom’s ward.
Little did she expect that she would not have the chance to do that. By then, she understood what the girl meant when she said that she could not alight from the taxi.
“Let’s go.” Her best friend grabbed her arm and practically dragged her into the capital hospital. Alas, to their surprise…
“It’s Miss Pei!”
“Pei Ge’s here!”
From afar, a crowd called out to her. Before the two could wrap their heads around this, the group with cameras and mics reached them.
As the people reached them, some were already taking photos.
Kachak! Kachak!
The bright lights and sounds of camera shutters brought the two back to reality.
“Er… Pei Ge, when did you become a celebrity at home…”
Looking at this large group of reporters, Tang Xiaoyu felt the corners of her mouth twitch before she turned to look at her best friend.
This was when she realized that the person in question was more confused than she was. “What on Earth is going on?”
Being a sensitive person, she quickly sensed that something was off here, but it was already too late.
By the time she tried to grab Pei Ge to escape, they were already surrounded by the mob of reporters.
“Miss Pei, do you not like Mr. Ji anymore?”
“…Was your wedding with Mr. Ji canceled because he abandoned you after finding out about your affair?”
“…Does he not treat you well? Why did you betray him?”
“…I’m really curious; how can you have an affair when you have someone as nice as him?”
“…I heard that the first project you did in the Ji Group lost billions…”
“Miss Pei…”
These people’s disdain, confusion, anger, and mockery relentlessly attacked Pei Ge from all sides.
Their questions made her freeze.
What did they mean by affair? What did they mean by Ji Ziming having abandoned her? What did they mean by her seeing another man behind her fiancé’s back?
Plus… when did she lose the Ji billions?
At that moment, she was stunned.
Looking at the camera flashes, the mics inching toward her, and the reporters pus.h.i.+ng forward, she felt as if everything were unreal.
What on Earth actually happened?
As she was in a trance, unsure of how to respond to the reporters’ questions, she saw some eggs fly toward her.
Pak!
One of the eggs cracked as it hit her head, its content bursting.
A gross, sticky liquid flowed down her face.
“Ge Ge, are you okay?”
Looking at the egg content on her face, Tang Xiaoyu shot the woman who had hurled it a murderous look.
Alas, the culprit was uncowed by her glare and even started shouting at her best friend.
“Pei Ge, you sl*t! How dare you betray our G.o.d Ji?!”
