Chapter 111: The Kidnapper Has Been Caught

Seeing Lu Chi unwilling to believe the fact before him, Qin Xue said, "Then it's possible that he used to like her, but now he doesn't."

Hearing Qin Xue say that, Lu Chi seemed to have no room left to rebut.

Because Su Yun Jiao had said the same thing before.

Qin Xue probed, asking, "Lu Chi... do you like Su Yun Jiao?"

"No."

Lu Chi almost immediately denied Qin Xue's question.

"I just can't accept that she married my brother."

As he said that, Lu Chi's gaze flickered a bit.

Qin Xue could see at a glance that Lu Chi wasn't telling the whole truth.

Lu Chi cannot accept Su Yun Jiao marrying Lu Jingqing.

But even harder to accept is that Su Yun Jiao is unwilling to marry him.

Qin Xue said, "Since that's the case, try to accept it; after all, you'll be family in the future."

"Who wants to be family with her?"

Before, their family only had him; later his mother brought Su Yun Jiao home and, without telling him, made Su Yun Jiao his family member.

At that time he was already very unhappy, and he did many things to spite Su Yun Jiao, but Su Yun Jiao still had no intention of leaving.

Later, when he grew a bit older, his mother constantly instilled in him that Su Yun Jiao would be his future fiancée.

She had him watch over Su Yun Jiao.

Although he always followed his mother's instructions, he was extremely unwilling in his heart.

Lu Chi also wanted to know: he clearly doesn't like Su Yun Jiao at all, so why is it so hard for him to accept her engagement to someone else?

"Alright, I'll think about it myself."

After saying that, Lu Chi stood up.

Qin Xue said, "If you have anything unhappy, you can tell me; we're still friends, and I'll try to help you share the burden."

"Thanks."

When Lu Chi thought about his recent coldness toward Qin Xue, he felt a bit uneasy.

He indeed shouldn't be too harsh on Qin Xue.

After Lu Chi left, Qin Xue's gaze then sank.

It seems Lu Chi really does like Su Yun Jiao.

Fortunately, Su Yun Jiao is already engaged to Lu Jingqing.

Otherwise, she'd probably have no chance at all.

Qin Xue returned to her class; by noon everyone was already preparing to go home.

Qin Xue specially waited at the stairwell for Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao, Zhou Tingting, and Zhou Xian had agreed to go to the Zhou Family for tutoring in the afternoon; as the three of them just walked out of the classroom, they saw Qin Xue waiting at the stairwell.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao come, Qin Xue stepped forward two paces and said, "Su Yun Jiao, may I say a few words to you?"

Su Yun Jiao remained silent and asked, "Is there something?"

"Well, there is something."

Qin Xue's demeanor seemed a bit hesitant to speak.

"Is there something that can't be said here? Why must we whisper?"

Zhou Tingting couldn't stand Qin Xue's attitude the most.

Qin Xue said, "I just want to speak privately with Su Yun Jiao; girls' talk isn't convenient, sorry, Tingting."

Zhou Tingting couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Qin Xue.

Su Yun Jiao also only agreed to step forward a bit, and she and Qin Xue spoke in the nearby hallway.

"Just say what you have to say."

"Jiao Jiao, do you... like Lu Chi?"

"No."

"Then... could you clear things up with Lu Chi?"

"What do you mean?"

"Lu Chi... is very unhappy that you're marrying Lu Jingqing; I can't bear to see him looking worried and sad, I think he still cares about you; we're all friends, if we talk things out we can still remain friends, could you help me a little?"

Qin Xue looked at Su Yun Jiao with earnest pleading.

Su Yun Jiao hadn't expected Qin Xue to go this far for Lu Chi.

She even came in person to ask her to make things clear to Lu Chi.

Su Yun Jiao said, "Sorry, I've already said everything that needed to be said; I won't talk to him again."

As her words fell, Su Yun Jiao heard Lu Chi's voice suddenly come from behind her: "Is that so?"

Lu Chi's voice was very cold.

Qin Xue feigned surprise: "Lu Chi, how are you here?"

"Who allowed you to come look for her?"

Lu Chi furrowed his brows, stepped forward, grabbed Qin Xue's arm, and said, "We already broke up, didn't we? There's nothing left to say."

After saying that, Lu Chi dragged Qin Xue's arm away as he left.

Even in that situation, Qin Xue kept looking back at Su Yun Jiao, taking three steps while glancing back.

As if she wanted to explain things clearly.

But Su Yun Jiao didn't think much of it, because this was exactly Qin Xue's forte.

"What exactly does she want to do? Nobody is competing with her for Lu Chi anymore, and she's still pulling a despicable trick in front of you?"

Zhou Tingting frowned, her face full of disgrace.

Su Yun Jiao could tell that Qin Xue was doing it on purpose.

She deliberately chose this place to find her, knowing Lu Chi would definitely notice.

Anyway.

Anyway, she and Lu Chi have nothing to do with each other now.

"Let's go, let's review."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao had just gotten ready to leave.

But the phone in her pocket rang at that moment.

Su Yun Jiao answered the phone, and heard Secretary Li say: "Miss Su, I'm right at the school gate; come out for a moment, Boss Lu has something to see you."

"Now? But I still have to go to Zhou Family's place for tutoring with Tingting and the class monitor later."

"Let's do it another day; Boss Lu said this matter is more important, and wants you to go home right away."

Hearing that, Su Yun Jiao furrowed her brows and said: "What urgent matter is it?"

"The two kidnappers have been found."

Upon hearing that the two people who kidnapped her had been found, Su Yun Jiao immediately understood: "Okay, I'll go right away."

After hanging up, Su Yun Jiao apologetically said to Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian: "Sorry, I can't go to your place today."

"What's going on? Is Lu Jingqing not letting you come to our house?"

Zhou Tingting pouted and said: "Just got engaged and he won't let you hang out with us; Lu Jingqing is no good."

"No, it's Brother Jingqing who caught the two people who kidnapped me."

Hearing that, Zhou Tingting questioned doubtfully: "Wasn't that person already under arrest? How could the police station let him escape?"

"That's way too weird!"

Zhou Xian quickly realized there must be more to it, and said: "You'd better hurry home and check it out; anyway, there are still more than twenty days left of winter break. Later we can go to my place just the same."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao nodded.

Outside the school.

Su Yun Jiao got into the car.

Lu Jingqing wasn't there; only Secretary Li was present.

"Brother Xiao Li, how exactly did Brother Jingqing manage to catch those two?"

It's already been ten days, and Su Yun Jiao had not held out hope.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingqing really managed to catch them.
