Chapter 78: Lu Chi Goes to Find Zhou Tingting

Even if she did it on purpose, it's only because she really wanted to win.

Lu Chi no longer had the confidence he had just now; he looked at Su Yun Jiao before him and said, "Qin Xue's family background is poor; if I don't help her, she will definitely be expelled from school."

"You're defending Qin Xue so much, haven't you considered what if Zhou Tingting accidentally fell down those stairs?"

This time Zhou Tingting was lucky; she only injured her hand.

If she had hit her head or injured her face.

The Zhou family will certainly not let this go.

Lu Chi saw Su Yun Jiao refusing to help no matter what, so he said with a cold face: "Su Yun Jiao, you keep saying this and that, but you simply refuse to help. What friendship could Zhou Tingting possibly have with you? I see you're just jealous of Qin Xue; you don't want Qin Xue to stay in school, so you're trying every possible way to get rid of her!"

Su Yun Jiao listened to Lu Chi's words and found them ridiculous.

She stood up directly and turned to leave.

Lu Chi shouted with a dark face: "Su Yun Jiao! Stop right there!"

Su Yun Jiao's steps paused for a moment, and she said: "Yeah, I'm not a good person; I just want to get rid of Qin Xue by any means—are you happy now?"

"You!"

"Listen, I can't help you with this matter, and I definitely won't help you. If you're unhappy, go find Zhou Tingting. If Zhou Tingting is willing to help you withdraw the lawsuit, then just pretend I never said those things. Qin Xue is whoever she is, and she has nothing to do with me. Likewise, Lu Chi, whoever you want to save, save them—it has nothing to do with me. Don't look for me anymore, thank you."

After saying that, Su Yun Jiao walked toward the outside of the restaurant.

Lu Chi saw Su Yun Jiao say those words distancing herself, and he felt a huge stone blocking his chest; he violently slammed the utensils in his hand onto the table.

The head chef saw the female lead had already left, and for a moment didn't know whether to continue.

"Young Master Lu..."

"Get out! All of you get out!"

Lu Chi's veins bulged on his forehead.

This was the first time he had begged Su Yun Jiao so humbly.

As a result, Su Yun Jiao actually gave him such an answer.

How?

Does she really want to cut ties with him?

Lu Chi laughed angrily.

Su Yun Jiao, dream on!

Here.

Su Yun Jiao had already walked out of the restaurant; she now deeply regretted wasting precious time talking with Lu Chi here about these matters.

Moreover, this place is obviously downtown; finding a bus stop to go back is quite troublesome.

Take a taxi?

But I don't have enough money.

Su Yun Jiao lowered her head, flipped through her contacts, and opened Lu Jingqing's profile picture.

She had originally intended to call Lu Jingqing.

But thinking that Lu Jingqing might still be in a meeting at this time, Su Yun Jiao called Secretary Li instead.

Meanwhile, inside the L Group.

Lu Jingqing had already finished the meeting, but when he opened the door to the lounge, he saw that Su Yun Jiao was gone.

Lu Jingqing glanced at Secretary Li beside him.

Secretary Li was also surprised.

She was clearly just here a moment ago!

"Sorry, Boss Lu, I didn't expect Miss Su to run off."

Secretary Li felt terribly wronged.

He had been in the meeting room with Lu Jingqing the whole time.

He had no idea what had happened in the lounge.

"Find."

"Yes!"

Secretary Li had originally wanted to mobilize company personnel to search, but who knew his phone would ring at this moment.

Secretary Li lowered his head and glanced at the incoming call display.

He discovered that the incoming call display showed Su Yun Jiao.

Secretary Li immediately answered the call.

On the other end of the phone, Su Yun Jiao said somewhat apologetically: "Xiao Li bro, I accidentally got lost; I don't know where this is—could you send a car to pick me up?"

Su Yun Jiao stood on a street five hundred meters from that restaurant.

Upon hearing that Su Yun Jiao had gotten lost, Secretary Li's expression changed instantly.

"Miss Su, where are you now? Where did you run off to? Boss Lu noticed you're missing and is furious!"

Hearing that Lu Jingqing was angry, Su Yun Jiao dared not admit she had gone out with Lu Chi.

Su Yun Jiao gave a dry laugh and said: "I just came out for a casual stroll; I didn't expect to walk so far. I'm currently at this..."

Su Yun Jiao glanced around.

What the heck kind of place is this?

There isn't even a landmark shop.

Su Yun Jiao wandered around, and in the end she still said out the restaurant address that Lu Chi had taken her to.

"I'm currently at Blue Island Restaurant, which seems to be a French restaurant, the place is about five hundred meters from Blue Island Restaurant."

Su Yun Jiao's explanation was relatively clear.

Secretary Li should know where it is, right?

Sure enough, Secretary Li on the other end of the phone knew the place; Secretary Li said, "Miss Su, just stand there where you are and don't move—I'll come over right away."

"'Good.'"

Su Yun Jiao obediently agreed.

Here.

Lu Jingqing had already heard that Su Yun Jiao was at the Blue Island Hotel.

He frowned and said, "It's five kilometers from here; I'll ask her later what she's doing wandering over to the Blue Island Hotel."

Secretary Li gave a dry laugh twice.

At a glance, what Su Yun Jiao just said was clearly a lie.

Lu Jingqing lowered his head to glance at the time on his watch; aside from this meeting, he had no other work today.

"'Let's go.'"

"'Boss Lu, maybe I should go instead.'"

"'No need.'"

Lu Jingqing said coldly, "Go drive."

"'Yes.'"

Secretary Li walked ahead of Lu Jingqing and went to press the elevator for him in advance.

Su Yun Jiao waited outside the Blue Island Hotel for a while.

After nearly twenty minutes, a car finally stopped in front of her.

That was one of Lu Jingqing's cars.

Su Yun Jiao saw the car window slowly being rolled down; Lu Jingqing sat in the back, his perfect, cold side profile coming into view.

Before Su Yun Jiao could greet him, Lu Jingqing looked at her; when his equally cold gaze swept over her, her smile instantly faded.

"'Jingqing brother...'"

"'Get in the car.'"

"'... Oh.'"

Su Yun Jiao got into the car and sat in the back.

During this time, Su Yun Jiao kept sitting at a distance of half an arm's length from Lu Jingqing.

Just then, Lu Jingqing suddenly coughed.

Su Yun Jiao stole a glance at Lu Jingqing.

Secretary Li, who was driving up front, suddenly asked, "Miss Su, why did you suddenly run over to the Blue Island Hotel?"

"'I... I just came here to get homework from a classmate.'"

"'Come to a hotel to get homework?'"

"'Mm!'"

Su Yun Jiao said, "It's not that I didn't say hello; I told the two front desk girls that I was coming out to get some homework—didn't they tell you?"

Before Secretary Li could speak, Lu Jingqing asked, "Which classmate?"

"'It's...'"

"'Is it that classmate surnamed Lu, right?'"

"'...'"

Lu Jingqing said lightly, "What does he want from you?"

"'Well, maybe he wants me to help and let Qin Xue off.'"

Seeing Lu Jingqing about to speak, Su Yun Jiao immediately said, "But I firmly refused; after all, I'm not really involved in this matter—Qin Xue caused Zhou Tingting's injury, and the Zhou family will certainly not let Qin Xue off; how could this be something I could sway with just a few words?"

Seeing Su Yun Jiao refuse, Lu Jingqing then said, "Don't meddle in this matter casually."

"'Don't worry, Jingqing brother; I know my limits.'"

The Zhou family will certainly not let Qin Xue off easily.

This time, Qin Xue is in trouble.

Inside Central City Hospital.

Zhou Tingting, looking at the recording of the cultural performance on her phone, got so angry she directly smashed the phone in her hand against the wall.

When Zhou Xian returned to the hospital after school, he saw Zhou Tingting throwing a tantrum on the hospital bed.

"'Brother! You say, is it Su Yun Jiao who harmed me?'"

Zhou Tingting angrily said, "And there's Qin Xue! Lu Chi actually went onstage with Qin Xue and even accompanied her! What gives Qin Xue the right? I won't accept it!"

Seeing Zhou Tingting's agitated state, Zhou Xian stepped forward and said, "The doctor said not to let your emotions get agitated; don't wear yourself out—I'll handle the other things."

Hearing that, Zhou Tingting immediately sensed something was off.

"'What do you mean? This incident really wasn't an accident?'"

Zhou Tingting froze.

She had just been speaking angrily.

She hadn't really thought someone had harmed her.

But hearing Zhou Xian's tone, it was obvious someone had deliberately harmed her.

"'Brother, hurry up and tell me—who exactly harmed me?'"

Zhou Tingting grabbed Zhou Xian's arm and said, "Is it Su Yun Jiao? I usually just say a few things to her, yet she actually tried to harm me!"

"'Not Su Yun Jiao.'"

"'Brother! My sister's already like this—how can you still speak up for Su Yun Jiao? If it's not Su Yun Jiao, who else could it be?'"

It's Qin Xue.

When hearing that the person who harmed me was Qin Xue, Zhou Tingting was also a bit surprised: "How could it be Qin Xue? Why would she harm me?"

Zhou Tingting didn't understand.

What did I do to provoke Qin Xue?

Why would Qin Xue harm her like that?

The matter has been investigated, the police are handling it, the person should still be at the police station, don't worry, brother won't let you be wronged.

Upon hearing that, Zhou Tingting then fell silent.

"But... I haven't provoked Qin Xue at all..."

"Think carefully, really nothing?"

Zhou Tingting thought for a moment, suddenly recalled what happened last Friday, she said with a dark face: "I just made two sarcastic remarks to her outside the restroom, would she really go after me for that?"

Has she been sarcastic toward Su Yun Jiao only a few times?

Su Yun Jiao also didn't intend to harm her.

This Qin Xue, she just said that one spoiled, willful sentence, and she already resorted to violence?

Then that must be the reason.

Zhou Xian poked Zhou Tingting's forehead and said, "I've long told you not to be so spoiled and willful at school—how is it now?"

"This Qin Xue, she's too terrible!"

Usually at school she acts all delicate and pitiful, not at all like a bad person.

As it turns out, she harbors such malicious intentions behind the scenes.

Make her roll down the stairs!

It left her unable to move her hand for a month.

At that moment, Lu Chi walked to the outside of the hospital bed.

When Zhou Tingting looked up, she saw Lu Chi standing outside, and her face instantly lit up with joy: "Lu Chi?"
