She Would Withdraw Ji Chuxing From School Tomorrow
Ji Chuxing had indeed been taken away.
In the interrogation room, after a brief, perfunctory questioning, someone said, "Let's leave it at that, little girl. You've offended someone you shouldn't have. Stay at the station for a couple of days first."
Ji Chuxing's expression barely changed. She gave him a lazy glance. "You need evidence to do things. You arrested me, so do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence?" The male interrogator gave a contemptuous laugh. "Bringing you here is the evidence, idiot. Didn't your family tell you who you could afford to offend and who you couldn't?"
"Now that you're in here, don't expect to get out easily."
Ji Chuxing nodded in understanding. "Oh, you're in cahoots with that Leopard."
"What did you say?!" The man's face changed dramatically. "I'm warning you, slandering police officers is a serious crime."
Ji Chuxing clicked her tongue and simply stared at them.
The two people she was staring at felt their skin crawl for some reason. After giving Ji Chuxing a couple of vicious warnings, they left her there.
Another female officer followed him out. "Are we really going to lock her up here?"
The man lowered his voice. "Deputy Director Zheng gave the order. She walked right into Deputy Zheng's line of fire. How could she get out without losing a layer of skin?"
Hmph!
She didn't know how high the heavens were or how deep the earth was, yet she thought she was some big shot. If they didn't take her down a peg, she'd never know who really called the shots in South City.
Meanwhile, Zhao Feifei had indeed rushed back to the Zhao Family home.
Ever since her mother died, she and her father had been as incompatible as fire and water. Every time father and daughter met, they ended up arguing.
If not for God Ji, she would never have returned to the Zhao Family home.
As it happened, Zhao Zhonghai was home, but father and daughter had barely exchanged a couple of words in the study when the sound of a fierce argument erupted.
The butler listened outside the door, deeply worried. Ah, what a tragedy.
If only Madam were still here.
Sure enough, less than five minutes later, the study door opened, and Zhao Feifei came out with reddened eyes. The door slammed shut with a bang.
"Miss..." The butler watched her run downstairs, concern written on his face.
Zhao Feifei didn't answer him. She went straight downstairs, only to see another figure in the living room.
"Well, look who remembers to come home. Our young miss."
It was Zhao Second Uncle's daughter. Zhao Leran was only two days younger than her, and the two had never gotten along since childhood. Zhao Feifei rolled her eyes. "None of your damn business!"
She didn't want to stay here a moment longer. Since Zhao Zhonghai refused to help her, she could only go and plead with Grandma to see if she could help God Ji.
Upstairs in the study, the butler went in and saw Zhao Zhonghai standing quietly by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at something.
"Master..."
Zhao Zhonghai nodded. "Who is Ji Chuxing?"
"A new friend Miss made. She's the child of the Wen Family's madam and her ex-husband."
Zhao Zhonghai said nothing and waved for him to leave. The butler understood what he meant.
He hesitated. "Master, Miss, she..."
Zhao Zhonghai remained silent, so the butler knew he couldn't say any more. He could only retreat quietly.
Grandma Zhao was getting on in years and had a separate little courtyard set aside for her to live in. She held a special position in the Zhao Family, and no one dared go against her wishes. Zhao Feifei was the apple of her eye.
Grandma Zhao had been watching an idol drama, getting angry at the male and female leads for misunderstanding each other and not knowing how to explain themselves, as though they had no mouths. When she saw her granddaughter run back, angry and red-eyed, her face filled with concern. "Oh, sweetheart, what happened?"
"Grandma, you have to help me! Save our God Ji!"
Meanwhile, at the Wen Family home.
After Wen Xinyue returned, she thought carefully about what had happened in the alley. She didn't know what had ultimately happened to Ji Chuxing. If she'd been beaten and injured, someone might call the Wen Family home by now. There was no way she could have come out ahead against those people.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Wen Xinyue looked over instinctively.
Mrs. Wen answered it. "Miss, it's a call for you from Miss Mo Xue'er."
For some reason, Wen Xinyue actually breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello, Xue'er."
"What did you say?!" Wen Xinyue was shocked and lowered her voice. "Are you sure? She was really arrested?"
"It's absolutely true. You haven't forgotten that my family has a few connections, have you? It suddenly came up after dinner tonight. Now that someone like her has a record, let's see how she manages to get by at South City No. 1 High School. Ah, sorry, Xinyue, I forgot she's your mother's..."
Wen Xinyue said sternly, "All right, don't say any more. I'll tell my mother. Whatever else she is, she's still my sister and a member of the Wen Family. No matter what she's done wrong, you can't talk about her like that."
"You're too kind! Have you forgotten how she bad-mouthed you? Even after all that, you're still sticking up for her!" Mo Xue'er was a little angry, but seeing that Wen Xinyue didn't like hearing it, she had no choice but to stop and hang up, displeased.
After the call ended, Wen Xinyue stood there in a daze for a while. Then she saw Zhou Ru return from outside. "Mom, you're back?"
Zhou Ru nodded, looking tired. Wen Xinyue immediately asked, "How is Grandma's health?"
Old Madam Wen had just returned from abroad some time ago. She hadn't told anyone, letting only Wen Li'an know. Zhou Ru herself had only found out in the past two days and hurried over to pay her a visit.
But Old Madam Wen didn't care for her. In her eyes, Wen Li'an's mother was the true mistress of the Wen Family, while Zhou Ru was a vixen who couldn't be brought into the light.
Every time they met, she gave her a cold face. This was also what concerned Zhou Ru most.
"She's all right, but her health is still the same as ever. Now that your grandmother has returned to the country, I'm planning to find the best doctor in South City to help nurse her back to health."
Wen Xinyue said happily, "That would be best. Then your relationship with Grandma will surely improve."
In fact, Old Madam Wen wasn't very fond of Wen Xinyue either, but she was the head of the Wen Family, and everyone had to respect her. Wen Xinyue was naturally no exception.
Zhou Ru smiled. "I hope so."
Only if Old Madam Wen accepted her would Wen Liyang's position in the Wen Family not be lower than Wen Li'an's, and the share of the family assets he could receive would be larger.
Remembering what had happened earlier, Wen Xinyue said hesitantly, "Mom, I just heard something. It seems Sister got into a fight with people outside school and was taken away by the police."
"What?!" Zhou Ru was shocked. "What on earth happened?"
By the time she had heard the story, she was furious.
"I knew it! She's always like this! Can't she just be a proper student? How much more trouble does she have to cause? In the end, I'm always the one who has to clean up after her!"
"Mom, don't be angry."
"How can I not be?" Zhou Ru kept her temper in check so she wouldn't frighten Wen Xinyue. "I never should have brought her to South City in the first place. I should have found a school in the county town back in the countryside and let her board there! Then so many embarrassing things wouldn't have happened. Do you know exactly what happened?"
"I... I'm not very sure either. I only heard about it. Some of my classmates saw it too. After school, she was fighting with some thugs from outside school in an alley. Maybe that's why."
Zhou Ru was so angry she nearly fainted. "Thugs? What... what on earth is she trying to do? Hasn't she caused enough trouble already?!"
Wen Xinyue said, "What should we do? It's so late now. Should we get Sister out?"
Zhou Ru gave a cold snort.
Ji Chuxing had nearly made her lose all her face. If the old madam found out that her biological daughter had actually gotten into a fight with thugs and even been taken to the police station, who knew how much more she would look down on her!
She might even drag Wen Liyang down with her.
If she wanted to get Ji Chuwen out, she would have to use the Wen Family's connections. Then, not only would Wen Huaming find out, but the old madam might find out too!
She absolutely couldn't take that risk!
It would be better to say nothing and leave her to fend for herself at the station!
"Forget it! Since she dared cause such a huge disaster, she can stay at the station and properly reflect on what she's done. Xinyue, just pretend you don't know anything about this. Don't tell a soul!"
She planned to withdraw Ji Chuxing from school tomorrow and send her back to board at a high school in the countryside.
She absolutely couldn't let her continue showing her face in South City and making a spectacle of herself as her daughter!
