Chapter 97: Eating melons in progress

Is it so efficient?

Su Xiaocai ran.

What a good brother! He really invited her to attend any play and was not afraid of exposing the family's dirty laundry.

He is indeed the friend (guinea pig) that she fell in love with at first sight.

When they arrived at the school clinic, Ji Li invited him in.

After Ji Li came back, he thought about it and decided that he should strike while the iron is hot.

Xue Huiyi's level of madness has already gone beyond the range of normal people.

Breaking off the engagement cannot just be a private matter between Ji Heng and Xue Huiyi.

The two must withdraw within a short period of time and then make it public.

Ji Heng must completely sever his ties with Xue Huiyi, this poisonous scorpion.

Ji Li called Ji Heng directly and told him that he had faked his death.

"Don't believe anything Xue Huiyi says. No matter what excuse you use, just trick her into coming to the school clinic to see me."

"Brother, what happened to you?" Ji Heng was inexplicably panicked. The weather was hot, and the setting sun was shining on the metal railings of the balcony, which felt very hot to the touch.

But Ji Heng seemed unconscious, holding the railing tightly, and suddenly realized that Ji Li might have experienced something, or there was some emergency, so he had to help him get away from Xue Huiyi as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, brother, I made you worry."

"Don't put... overthinking, you're not that important."

His brother just wanted to say, stop farting.

Woo woo woo, Bai was touched.

Ji Heng wanted to ask more questions, but Ji Li hung up the phone.

Guang Jiheng, an honest man who stutters when telling lies, naturally cannot complete Ji Li's plan tacitly.

So Ji Li also has to join forces with Hu Ping.

Hu Ping is the type who wakes up quickly and is good at socializing. He learned this from his father, who is enthusiastic.

But Hu Ping has a greater advantage, which is his tactfulness.

After Ji Li finished calling Ji Heng, he called Hu Ping and asked if Hu Ping was with Ji Heng.

"Yes, brother. We are all in the dormitory. We just finished training in the game. What can I do for you?"

Ji Li told Hu Ping what he had just said to Ji Heng, "We can't let Xue Huiyi know my current condition. Lead her to the school clinic."

Hu Ping wondered secretly, is the eldest brother of the Ji family going to do something big?

"Don't worry, Brother Ji, I will complete the task."

Hu Ping is Ji Heng's military advisor, teaching him how to lie.

Ji Li felt much more relieved.

Just as I said yes, Xue Huiyi wrote to me.

Xue Huiyi sent a voice message: "Ji Heng, did you know that Su Xiaocai took Ji Li to the pet exhibition today? Were they dating?"

It seems like concern, but there is a mystery hidden.

Xue Huiyi's tone sounded as if she was not the one who was angry after she broke off the engagement. She put aside the past grudges, took the initiative to make peace, and did not bother with Ji Heng.

He also brought Su Xiaocai in, cleverly using words like "bring" and "do you know" to tell others that Su Xiaocai seduced Ji Li and had succeeded.

Hu Ping is cheerful and fun.

Ji Heng wanted to say he didn't know, but who was Hu Ping? He slapped Ji Heng's hand that was replying, pulled Ji Heng's screen in front of himself, licked the corner of his mouth, smiled cunningly, and said, "I'm going to kill you, Xue Huiyi, this time."

"I know that it's normal for the two of them to be close. They are friends and shareholders of the same company. Don't misunderstand me."

"You boys don't understand. There can't be true friendship between men and women. If there is, it's because one of you is profitable."

Hu Ping sneered. Without true friendship, wouldn't every boy in their four-person dormitory have to have an affair with Su Xiaocai? The money she gave them to customize the mecha would probably have to triple if she gave it to other masters to design.

They are the ones who profit.

Hu Ping did not deny that they had a vested interest in Su Xiaocai.

But Su Xiaocai's kindness to them was genuine.

Everyone in the dormitory felt it.

Hu Ping imitated Ji Heng's tone and sent a text: "So you want to say that Su Xiaocai and my brother have an intimate relationship? Was it you who reported the news on the forum before?"

Xue Huiyi was in the dormitory. Her roommates were walking back and forth, and no one knew what they were doing. Even the slightest noise made her extremely irritated.

There is the fear after killing Yi Sui Lu, and there is also the anxiety of "Ji Heng", a straight man, defending Su Xiaocai.

If Ji Li's death cannot save this relationship, she doesn't know how to go on in the future. For the time being, there are no willing "thugs" around her.

"What are you doing? Can you be a little quieter?" Xue Huiyi opened the bedroom door and shouted outside.

The roommate was holding a birthday cake with candles already on it, and looked at Xue Huiyi with disappointment.

Roommate: “Today is my birthday!”

They knew that Xue Huiyi was very busy, so every time it was their birthday, they would receive a gift from her followers. The followers always said that Xue Huiyi remembered their birthdays, but was too busy to prepare gifts.

But they knew that Xue Huiyi didn't care about these things. She was so perfunctory in all her social activities. She didn't have the grace and generosity that a rich girl should show.

Maybe it's a common problem among young ladies, who are only willing to maintain superficial friendship.

Xue Huiyi opened her mouth, but couldn't say the word "sorry". It wasn't her fault. It was them who were going to celebrate her birthday without informing her. "I forgot. I'm worried about something. I'll go out and not disturb you guys."

Not even a word of "Happy Birthday" was mentioned. The roommate curled his lips and said, "It's like this again, as if her birthday is the most important thing."

"Shh, shh, shh..." They couldn't say bad things about Xue Huiyi, they could only try to please her. Now that they had entered society, the Xue family was their relationship, and no matter how unhappy they were, they couldn't act on their own.

To be honest, students' school life should not involve the outside society, but some people are born with privileges, not legal privileges, but privileges of choice.

As long as Xue Huiyi is unhappy, she can make it difficult for you to gain a foothold in society, and you can only struggle on a certain level and cannot climb up.
The appearance of Su Xiaocai made them quite happy, because Su Xiaocai was the only person in the school who could compete with Xue Huiyi.

Just from the game, we can see that Su Xiaocai has the potential to become a business tycoon. People who started from scratch are more worthy of attention than the second or third generation rich.

Their birthday party was also attended by Xue Huiyi's follower, who arrived two minutes after Xue Huiyi left.

The follower who originally lived in the same dormitory with Xue Huiyi moved out of his current dormitory and moved into a scientific research dormitory for further studies because he wanted to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

The roommate hypocritically welcomed Xue Huiyi's follower, and for a while, there was laughter and joy.

Xue Huiyi walked towards the boys' dormitory and read the entertainment news about Su Xiaocai on the forum.

She had no involvement and didn't know who did it.

No matter how stupid one is, he would not go against Su Xiaocai, whose reputation is at its peak.

Xue Huiyi replied "Ji Heng" as she walked.

"It's not me. What does it have to do with me? If you don't believe me, go check it out."

"Oh, so what do you want to say? It's a good thing that they go to the pet show. My brother happens to be in need of a turtle, so maybe he can buy one." Hu Ping was very excited. In the past, Ji Heng would always stop him from playing a prank on Xue Huiyi, but after he talked it out, Ji Heng became more cooperative. He stood by with his arms folded, ignoring Hu Ping's sarcastic remarks to Xue Huiyi.

Liu Xun came out of the game cabin, stood behind the two of them and peeped, and when he saw Ji Li's words that he was missing a turtle, he laughed so hard that his face twitched.

Ji Li often shows off his painting of famous turtles in the universe, but he really lacks a normal turtle to change Brother Ji's strange aesthetic.

Xue Huiyi gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, okay, big brother and Su Xiaocai are innocent, okay? If I were to say, have you seen the news? There was an attack at the pet show. I called Ji Li several times, but no one answered. So far, no specific casualties have been released online. Big brother won't be in trouble, right?"

Ji Heng's heart was pounding and he really wanted to call Ji Li to confirm whether he had experienced this.

Hu Ping: "You are stupid. Your brother just told you that he is safe. Why? To help you get rid of this chewing gum. And with Su Xiaocai here, what can happen to your brother?"

Even if you don't believe your own brother, you have to believe Su Xiaocai. She has endless weapons and strong vitality. She can save their lives in the insect nest. It's just a terrorist attack. Can she be more powerful than the insect warriors?

Ji Heng calmed down and said, "Then, should I tell her that I will call the police station to ask?"

"Yes, just say you can't get through."

"What if we can get through there?"

"No wonder your brother always dislikes you for being too honest." Hu Ping rolled his eyes.

He recently changed his hairstyle and cut his hair short. He couldn't swing his hair around like before, so he shook his fingers instead. "This woman probably wants to see if you are anxious, broken down, or sad. What do men need when they are sad? A woman's meticulous comfort." Liu Xun made a disgusted sound of "Huh~".

If Hu Ping hadn't said it, Liu Xun would have thought it was normal for Xue Huiyi to care about Ji Heng. But once he said it, the situation changed.

Turned into a horror thriller.

Ji Heng thought for a moment, then said slowly, "Won't she call the police station to verify?"

Hu Ping pulled out a psychology book and said, "Yes, she feels guilty. Although she doesn't know what she feels guilty about, people who feel guilty won't seek confirmation. If she really cared about Brother Ji's safety, she wouldn't call you first. She would definitely use her family connections to call the police station and ask again."

Liu Xun added: "Why does she think something must have happened to Brother Ji?"

Yup!

Hu Ping straightened up, looking horrified, "Liu boy, you seem to have discovered something extraordinary."

Three cobblers worked out a clear idea.

Ji Heng: "Because she wanted to see me collapse, she first confirmed that something must have happened to my brother."

This was what Ji Li left unfinished after he told them that he had faked his death. He did not tell his brother that anything had happened to him.

Xue Huiyi knew that something was wrong with Ji Li, but she chose to pretend.

The dormitory fell silent for a moment.

Pan Mingjie, who worked part-time at school to earn money, also came back and broke the silence.

"What are you looking at?"

Everyone in the dormitory was gathered, and Liu Xun excitedly explained to Pan Mingjie what had just happened.

"Brother Pan, what do you think this woman wants to do?"

"Ji Li got into trouble and Ji Heng was sad, what's the good in that?" Pan Mingjie asked rationally from an outsider's perspective.

"The cancellation of her engagement will be postponed." This was Liu Xun's idea. "Brother Hu, you have the most ideas. Please express your opinions."

"My thoughts are too negative to be spoken about. Everything is just speculation."

Hu Ping didn't want to say anything, but couldn't resist Liu Xun's instigation, "It's not a big deal, Brother Ji's engagement will definitely be cancelled, no matter what you say, it's not too much."

Ji Heng laughed at himself: "It doesn't matter, you are good at judging people."

"Do you still have feelings for Xue Huiyi?" Hu Ping didn't want to end up being the bad guy.

"It's not a good impression." Ji Heng denied.

His feelings towards Xue Huiyi are rather complicated. Xue Huiyi and he have been engaged for such a long time, and although they don't have the passion of a couple, they do get along well.

At that time, he could see at a glance the days in the future when he and Xue Huiyi would treat each other with respect.

Ji Heng doesn't mind an ordinary life, but he can't accept Xue Huiyi's constant small moves behind his back.

He said, "You can imagine. I treated her as a family member, but one day, I suddenly found that she was completely different and fake. I was very angry, but relieved. But deep down, I couldn't give up this family relationship. Even if we turned against each other and drew a clear line, I still hoped that she could live a good life."

There are many reasons for this situation, and Ji Heng doesn't understand Xue Huiyi's motives.

Why should they force themselves to maintain this engagement? He and she have very different personalities, and one day they will go to two extremes.

Hu Ping patted his good brother and told him his guess, "I am just guessing based on Ji Heng's future choices and Xue Huiyi's career direction. It may not be accurate. Just listen to it."

The three of them listened attentively, temporarily ignoring Xue Huiyi who had sent another message.

"Ji Heng will definitely have to gain experience in the army in the early stages, and Xue Huiyi is said to have done the same, but she has set her sights on a logistical position as a mecha custom designer, a high-end career that allows her to resign at any time and still be welcomed by the military."

"As long as the engagement is delayed until Ji Heng joins the army, then canceling the engagement will be a long way off. After all, Ji Heng has been engaged to her for so many years. What will happen if he suddenly cancels the engagement? He will be scolded by the entire internet and will not be able to get promoted in the army. It will be difficult for him to hold his head up high and live a normal life."

"The most terrifying thing is that Ji Li is dead, and Ji Heng has gone far away in the army. Who will be the Ji family's successor?"

Xue Huiyi has enough reputation, strong ambition and willingness to learn, otherwise she would not be able to study the subject of mecha design.

Being a little stupid sometimes only shows up in terms of social skills and scheming.

There is no guarantee that he will be reborn after being taught by the Xue and Ji families.

This is the key point. According to the long-term development of the Ji family, it is inevitable for Ji Heng to join the army. It is best for Ji Li to take over the Ji family. Ji Li's business talent and vision are stronger than many old hands in the business world.

It's a pity that he is weak and has a strong personality, so he is not bound by the constraints and control of his family.

If the Ji family does not have the next generation for a long time, who will be the beneficiary?
"The vicious Xue Zhen is in trouble. She must have some way of knowing that Ji Li is in trouble, or she may be the mastermind behind the whole thing."

Hu Ping had a strong premonition that Xue Huiyi would not be able to turn things around this time, and the engagement would definitely be cancelled and could not be delayed.

He rubbed his hands and told Xue Huiyi that no one answered the phone call he had just made to the police station.

Xue Huiyi replied immediately: "Don't overthink it, you're just scaring yourself, big brother will be fine."

"Yes, my brother will be fine. I will contact my parents now."

Ji Heng's fingers were trembling, there was an emotion called hatred accumulating. He grew up in a carefree environment since he was born, and there was no malice around him.

The greatest evil may be the blood suppression from his brother.

The biggest worry is that his mentally ill mother will keep a close eye on him.

He has stable emotions and has never experienced too much anger or hatred.

Even when faced with the insect people killing so many civilians, he was only briefly angry and then picked up weapons to fight back.

If Xue Huiyi really did something to hurt Ji Li...

It really touched his bottom line.

At this moment, Xue Huiyi bit her lip and secretly rejoiced. Ji Heng was indeed a boy who never grew up. He would immediately look for his parents when something happened.

"Brother, I'm sure you'll be fine. I'll go find you and go home with you or go to the police station to investigate."

"I'm going to the school infirmary. The news was from two hours ago. If nothing happened to big brother, he should be back. I'll go check on him first." Ji Heng acted as if he was unwilling to face the situation and avoid it.

This was exactly what Xue Huiyi wanted. "Okay, I'll go too. If... I mean if something happens to big brother, you must hold on. I'll contact dad right now and ask him to go to the police station to look for information."

Xue Huiyi sent the message she had edited long ago to Xue Feiting, her father. Xue Feiting was very career-oriented and was in a meeting at that time, so he must have turned off his phone.

To show her concern for Ji Li, she sent a message to her uncle who had a wide network of contacts.

Xue Feiqun loved her the most and quickly replied to her message, saying that he would help her follow up.

Follow up, no matter what she does, Uncle San will cover for her.

When it comes to family interests and reputation, Xue Feiqun is never vague. The worst that can happen is that she gets scolded.

This is the secret to her being able to dominate for so long since she was a child.

She had a protective uncle, so she had a very arrogant childhood.

On the way to the school infirmary, Xue Huiyi walked with a relaxed pace, feeling the clear sky and refreshing air. The stuffiness to others was warmth to her. She was a natural protagonist.

Life should be lived like this, with someone to back you up no matter what you do.

Xue Huiyi couldn't wait for Ji Heng to fall into her arms. The moment she saw Ji Heng, her expression changed to a worried one.

There were four boys standing outside the school clinic.

They are Ji Heng, Hu Ping and Liu Xun. The other one, Xue Huiyi, whose name I forgot. He is a poor man and not worth remembering.

Xue Huiyi was a little surprised by the appearance of Ji Heng's roommate, "You are here too, it's just right, one more person means more strength."

Hu Ping said: "Yes, Ji Heng's family is already quite powerful, and with me, it is more than enough to find out the news about Brother Ji."

Xue Huiyi couldn't help wondering if Hu Ping was too shameless. The upper class knew how many connections the Hu family had.

If he really knew the tricks, he wouldn't have been deceived by "high-tech" talents for so many years.

“Why don’t you look at me like that? I’ve already called my father and my third uncle. Although you said you wanted to cancel the engagement, I still treat my eldest brother as my real brother… Let’s go to the police station quickly.”

"Xue Huiyi, don't you want to go to the school clinic? You said you were going to the police station right away, without asking if we have seen Ji Li?" Ji Heng was extremely disappointed with Xue Huiyi, hatred seeping from his eyes, "How can you be sure that he is not here?"

"I'm basing my guess on this. There are pictures online and someone was live streaming it at the time." Xue Huiyi was very calm. She knew there was a little celebrity live streaming at Xue Feiqun's place. After all, she had specifically called him there. It didn't matter whether he was filmed or not, after all, the little celebrity was killed in the explosion.

"Did you watch the live broadcast?"

Although Ji Heng is a straight man and will not try to figure out Xue Huiyi's character in depth, he knows many of Xue Huiyi's habits.

"Didn't you say that celebrities' live broadcasts are meaningless? Or did someone send it to you? Who sent it to you?"
