Chapter 990: Disconnection
Jian Changsheng and Jian Yichen were also at the dining table, but neither of them said anything because they didn’t want Qiao Shuyi to know that they had caused such a huge commotion yesterday to look for Jian Yiyi.
Jian Yiyi walked to Jian Yichen’s side and sat down. Her gaze swept across the others’ faces. Perhaps she was overthinking, but she felt that her father and brother were a little strange.
“Dad,” Jian Yiyi called out. She looked at Jian Changsheng and asked, “Why can’t I remember what happened last night? How did I come back?”
Jian Yiyi felt a little guilty when she asked this because she couldn’t remember at all. She was also afraid that Liao Bo sent her back because her parents didn’t know that she was dating in school.
Without waiting for Jian Changsheng to speak, Qiao Shuyi said, “Why are you still asking?! Your father and brother went out to pick you up. You can drink until you lose consciousness when you go out with your friends. How dangerous is that for a girl?!”
“Ah?” Jian Yiyi was stunned. She carefully recalled the scenes she could remember. She was sure that she did not drink alcohol and only drank two gla.s.ses of fruit juice.
She couldn’t help but defend herself. “Mom, I didn’t drink. I didn’t touch any alcohol!”
Qiao Shuyi didn’t believe her. She immediately looked at Jian Yiyi and said earnestly, “It’s not that Mom doesn’t want you to drink, but you can’t drink until you’re unconscious. What if you meet a bad person outside?”
Jian Yiyi was puzzled. “But I didn’t drink!”
“There was alcohol in the drink you drank last night,” Jian Changsheng suddenly said. Then, he said to Qiao Shuyi, “Don’t talk about Yiyi anymore. She didn’t know that there was alcohol in the drink. It was an unintentional mistake.”
Jian Yiyi wanted to say something, but Jian Yichen said, “Sister, eat quickly. You’ll be late for school.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but turn to throw a look at Jian Yiyi.
Jian Yiyi paused and swallowed her words.
On the way to school, the driver drove and Jian Yichen sat in the front pa.s.senger seat. Jian Yiyi and Jian Changsheng sat in the backseat.
Jian Changsheng suddenly looked at her and said, “Yiyi, Mom was around just now, so Dad said nothing. Do you know what happened last night? Do you know where Dad found you?”
Jian Yiyi knew that her brother’s look was meaningful. She couldn’t help but look at Jian Changsheng suspiciously. “Dad, I remember nothing.”
Jian Changsheng sighed and said truthfully, “Yesterday, Yichen and I went to Yaochi to get the surveillance camera footage. Then, we called the police and found you at Westin Hotel!”
The reason Jian Changsheng said this was to let his daughter realize the importance and danger of losing contact with someone outside. Even if it was a false alarm last night, he had to let her know that danger was everywhere!
Jian Yiyi was shocked and widened her eyes in disbelief. “What? Why was I at the Westin Hotel?”
Jian Yichen looked at Jian Yiyi through the rearview mirror and said impatiently, “Didn’t I say that there was alcohol in your drink?!”
Jian Changsheng handed the note Liao Bo left to Jian Yiyi.
Jian Yiyi blinked in confusion. Wasn’t she drinking orange juice? Was there alcohol in the orange juice?
The other details were written clearly on the note. Her phone was out of battery. Liao Bo didn’t know her house, so he sent her to a hotel.
Because she had no impression of what had happened last night, Jian Yiyi could only accept the truth in front of her.
