Chapter 548: 547: Could Ji Baijian be Dead? (Second Update)

“He’s not coming back!” Song Zhizhi said, with a murmur.

Yin Qin thought he must have misheard in an instant, he turned his head and looked at Song Zhizhi, “What do you mean? Where did he go? Did he go abroad?”

Song Zhizhi did not respond.

“Song Zhizhi, are you trying to kill me with anxiety? My heart is really weak, it has been damaged severely during this period. Can you please make it easier on me?” Yin Qin was on the brink of a breakdown.

At that moment, all Song Zhizhi did was give a faint smile, “Let’s just order takeout.”

“Song Zhizhi!” At this moment, Yin Qin felt like hitting someone.

Song Zhizhi said, “Don’t bother with Ji Baijian in the future either. If you look for him, you won’t find him.”

“Why? What happened between you two? Did you have a fight? Are you divorced?! Because Ji Baijian didn’t protect your family, you blamed everything on him because your father passed away? Song Zhizhi, don’t you think you are being too selfish? Do you know how much Ji Baijian loves you?”

“I know,” Song Zhizhi replied.

Her tone was particularly cold.

As if she had no emotions at all.

Yin Qin really didn’t know what had happened between them that would make such a loving couple turn into what they are now.

He truly felt it wasn’t worth it.

No matter what happened, it wasn’t worth it.

Now that Luo Xiaolang was missing, he was truly regretful. He didn’t want to see anyone following in his footsteps.

“You still treat Ji Baijian this way knowing everything?!” Yin Qin yelled at Song Zhizhi uncontrollably.

“Yin Qin, don’t meddle in Ji Baijian and my relationships. Don’t look for Ji Baijian here anymore in the future, he’s not here.”

“Where did he go?”

“I don’t know.”

“Everyone might not know, but you definitely do.”

“Even if I know, I won’t say anything.”

“Do you really want me to kill you?” Yin Qin was really about to collapse because of Song Zhizhi’s words.

“You’d better use this time to pay more attention to your personal feelings. When I came back a while ago, I ran into Xiaolang and Joe,” Song Zhizhi changed the topic.

When Yin Qin heard those two names, his heart hurt again.

“They went out together to buy groceries and are now cooking together. I heard Joe’s cooking isn’t bad.”

Yin Qin didn’t want to know.

He didn’t want to know anything about them at all.

“It seems they are living together now.”

Yin Qin looked at Song Zhizhi.

“They used to live on separate floors, but according to Xiaolang, Joe wanted to take care of her more personally, so they moved in together.”

Yin Qin just listened.

His heart was rotting, in utmost pain.

“Actually, Xiaolang is really pretty,” Song Zhizhi continued.

Exactly, the more upset he was, the more she spoke.

Just like Ms Qin Keqin.

If they didn’t upset him to death, then they vowed not to stop.

“I used to think Xiaolang was pretty ordinary, but I don’t know when she started to change and became fair-skinned, beautiful, and very attractive. I heard that it’s all thanks to Miss Qin.”

Yin Qin didn’t want to listen anymore.

He really couldn’t go on listening.

He said, “Song Zhizhi, you’re just trying to upset me, right?”

“No, I’m just telling you that even though Xiaolang is very pretty now, you should not disturb her. She and Joe are very happy together, I can see it,” Song Zhizhi told him deliberately.

“I can see it too! I don’t need your reminder!” Yin Qin blurted in anger.

He wasn’t blind.

He couldn’t see how much Luo Xiaolang liked Joe!

“It’s getting late, go home early, I am going to bed.”

Yin Qin was full of rage, he also felt like he didn’t want to stay here.

He was about to leave angrily.

At that moment, he lost his temper massively, “Where on earth did Ji Baijian go?!”

Song Zhizhi was already on her way upstairs, she just threw a sentence back, “He went to a place, where none of us can find. So, don’t bother looking, you won’t find him.”

“Ji Baijian isn’t dead, right?” Yin Qin suddenly yelled out.

Song Zhizhi, who was on her way up the stairs, clearly paused.

Yin Qin was somewhat nervous as he watched her.

At that moment, his heart was racing.

He was truly terrified about hearing a confirmation from Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi just paused for a moment, said nothing, and kept going upstairs.

Yin Qin kept watching Song Zhizhi’s figure.

He absolutely could not accept the fact of Ji Baijian’s “death”. He always felt that even if the world could collapse, Ji Baijian would never fall.

Song Zhizhi returned to the bedroom she had shared with Ji Baijian.

The bedroom, remained exactly as it was.

There was their wedding picture.

There was the bed they had slept in together, the sheets they had covered.

Ji Baijian’s clothes were there, so were his toiletries.

She observed them silently.

She always had thoughts.

Perhaps, she truly wasn’t supposed to exist in this world. Once everything settled, she would leave too.

God had allowed her to reincarnate just so she could learn the truth.

Once everything was truly over,

God would still take her away.

She didn’t belong here.

…

The next day.

Song Zhizhi opened her eyes.

She never knew when she fell asleep at night, nor did she know when she woke up each morning.

She got up, opened the electric curtains.

She just gazed at the Sky Garden, at a place Ji Baijian used to love.

She turned around, went to the bathroom to wash up.

Got dressed, simply did her makeup, everything was done by 7 o’clock in the morning after last night.

She went downstairs, sat on the sofa in the living room.

Her eyes moving towards the kitchen, all the images flashed before her eyes were Ji Baijian busily moving around in the kitchen.

His every action, every frown, every smile.

Song Zhizhi suddenly smiled.

Tears just slid down from her eyes.

Indeed, she wasn’t as indifferent as she seemed.

Something was brushing against her foot.

She looked down to see Tank licking her foot, seemingly comforting her in that moment.

Song Zhizhi smiled, she bent down to stroke Tank.

If Tank knew, she had killed his master, would he still accompany her like this?

The phone rang suddenly at this moment.

Song Zhizhi picked up the phone, saw who was calling, and toned down her emotions.

With a calm voice, she said, “Mr Jun.”

“I have something to discuss with you, come to Bamboo Garden if you’re available.”

“Now?”

“Yes, now.”

“Okay.”

She thought, finally, some things had to happen.

She squatted down, hugged Tank, and said, “Stay at home and wait for me.”

Tank whined reluctantly.

Zhizhi reluctantly petted Tank’s head. She was dialing Wei Ziming’s number and putting on her shoes to leave at the same time.

After waiting in the garage for a while, Wei Ziming parked the car at Zhizhi’s feet.

Zhizhi got into the car.

The car started and left.

In the car, Wei Ziming asked, “Why did Jun Minghan call you over so early?”

“Hmm. I guess he couldn’t hold back anymore.”

“You mean…”

“I heard that the Dean is critically ill, it seems he can’t hold on much longer.”

“How could he suddenly become critically ill? We didn’t hear anything before.” Wei Ziming wondered.

“Whether we heard it or not, isn’t it them spreading the news?” Zhizhi laughed.

Wei Ziming understood suddenly.

Meaning, it didn’t matter whether the Dean was critically ill or not. What mattered was making others believe he was critically ill.

The car drove towards Bamboo Garden.

Zhizhi led Wei Ziming in.

Jun Minghan was having breakfast in the Bamboo Garden. Seeing Zhizhi arrive, he asked casually, “Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

“Let’s eat together.”

“Thank you.”

Zhizhi didn’t refuse and sat down.

The two ate breakfast.

Zhizhi ate leisurely.

She was afraid of vomiting if she ate too quickly.

The dining table was quiet.

Jun Minghan seemed to have finished eating, he wiped the corner of his mouth and said to Zhizhi, “There’s a political banquet tonight, my mother invited you to join us.”

“Is it appropriate?” Zhizhi asked, without surprise or excessive emotion.

“Qin Wenguo and Qin Jingxiang have been invited.”

“So, everyone from commercial management is invited.”

“Haven’t you always wanted to teach Qin Wenguo a lesson? You can have your wish tonight.”

“Thank you.” Zhizhi remained lukewarm.

Now Jun Minghan was really confused about the woman in front of him.

He used to think she was quite simple, but after interacting, he realized that this woman was also deep and hidden.

Zhizhi noticed Jun Minghan’s gaze, she raised an eyebrow, “Is there something on my face?”

“Staring at you, I realize you’re really pretty.” Jun Minghan said unabashedly.

“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jun.”

“My mother always says, for a woman who is too beautiful, she’s either an empty vase, or a vindictive woman. Which one does Miss Song belong to?”

“Which one does your mother belong to?” Zhizhi asked back.

Jun Minghan was startled.

Then he laughed heartily, “Miss Song is really smart and clever, that one sentence left me speechless.”

Zhizhi merely smiled faintly.

Jun Minghan said, “I won’t hide it from Miss Song, my mother intends to betroth you to me.”

Zhizhi’s movement of eating breakfast paused for a moment.

She wiped the corner of her mouth, “Doesn’t Mr. Jun already have a wife and daughter?”

“Unfortunately, she still hasn’t been able to bear me a son.”

“Keep trying, it will happen.”

“Miss Song, are you refusing my mother and my sincerity?”

“Mr. Jun is joking. If I could have a good marriage with Mr. Jun, I would certainly wish for nothing more. I just don’t quite believe that this will happen to me. After all, Mr. Jun’s wife has such a distinguished status.” Zhizhi said bluntly.

“Once I hold all the power, the first thing I will do is cut their family’s influence. Do you think I can’t find a respectable reason to divorce my current wife?”

“That’s true.”

“So, how does Miss Song feel about my proposal?”

“I will give Mr. Jun a definite answer once the dust settles.”

“Indeed, a smart woman.”

“I’m just trying to protect myself.” Zhizhi was clear about her intentions.

“I won’t say much more. Just remember to dress up for tonight’s event.” Jun Minghan reminded.

“Yes.” Zhizhi nodded.

Later.

Zhizhi left.

Jun Minghan watched Zhizhi’s retreating figure.

Before his mother proposed, he really hadn’t thought about it. Now that it was said, he had become quite interested in Zhizhi.

Wei Ziming drove away from Bamboo Garden for quite a while.

Finally, he couldn’t hold it anymore and said, “Has Jun Minghan taken a liking to you?”

“Apparently.”

“Will he do anything to you?”

“Not now.” Zhizhi was certain.

Jun Minghan certainly wouldn’t dare do anything outrageous to her now. After all, he wouldn’t make the force on his wife’s side openly revolt at this crucial time.

However, this made…

Zhizhi’s eyes tightened.

Jun Minghan would eventually have to pay for his own mistakes!

In the evening.

The night was dizzying with splendour and grandeur.

Zhizhi actually did dress up.

She was naturally beautiful, with a beauty that could stun anyone at first glance. Her specially prepared outfit for the night made all the eyes at the party have to look at her.

Since it was a political banquet, people who were not invited were not allowed to appear at the event. So if the invitation did not specify that family members could be brought, then they could only appear alone.

So the grand party was full of single appearances.

Zhizhi was one of them.

She strolled through the banquet hall nonchalantly.

Many eyes were looking around.

Zhizhi was considered a well-known person in Yanshang Country. Even if she didn’t have much power, she still seemed to be known by people across the country.

At this moment, Jun Minghan was entertaining many people with his wife.

The first time he saw Zhizhi.

Seeing her in a silver evening dress, with her stunning beauty, fiery red lips, enchanting figure, she looked like an earthly beauty, so beautiful it was blinding.

Before he hadn’t paid attention, he hadn’t noticed how attractive Zhizhi was. Now that he was paying attention, he began to have impure thoughts.

Zhizhi felt the gaze.

She looked in that direction.

A charming smile, truly captivating.
