Chapter 103: Do You Expect Me to Reach Out to Her First?
Huo Yi almost couldn’t catch it and paused, organizing his words before he gently said, “In the past, when Master Jue bullied Miss Chi, she never said these words to you. But this time, Master Jue, you did nothing wrong, and even took Miss Chi to the amusement park to play. Logically, Miss Chi would not likely confront you. However, she did confront you, and right after she learned that today is your birthday, she suddenly spoke up. I believe that Miss Chi did so because she doesn’t want you to fall deeper. She feels that she does not yet like you, but you have taken a liking to her and have been good to her, giving her a sense of indebtedness. She doesn’t want to string you along, taking advantage of your kindness without being able to give you what you desire. That’s why she chose to cut the Gordian knot and clarify things with you. Since Miss Chi was willing to speak to you, it shows that she cares about you. Just treat Miss Chi a little better, and she will surely be moved.”
Chi Enen was afraid he was being too kind to her, making her feel indebted, so she suddenly had to clarify things out of the blue?
“What kind of nonsense is that! Ridiculous!” he said, but the fire in his chest subsided quite a bit.
“Master Jue…”
Li Beijue slightly lifted his chin, impatiently interrupting, “Are you suggesting that I should contact her? Impossible!”
Why should he?
That woman had inexplicably slapped him on the face on his birthday, and he was supposed to reach out to her? Not even worth considering!
Huo Yi had no other option, having already said what he could. After he bandaged the wound on the back of Li Beijue’s hand, he picked up the medicine kit, ready to leave.
At that moment, the man behind him suddenly coughed, giving an uncomfortable order.
“My mobile phone was accidentally lost; have someone look for it, and clean this place up while you’re at it.”
Huo Yi turned around suddenly, his eyes brightening, as he respectfully said, “Yes, Master Jue.”
In a short while, the violently damaged cabin was tidied up spick-and-span. The mobile phone he had thrown was found in a corner of the table, and after Li Beijue and others left, he picked up the phone from the table.
In his rage, the phone’s screen had shattered, rendering it completely unusable.
Li Beijue irritably tossed the inoperable phone into the trash can. To calm himself, he opened his laptop, accessed the files needed for the meeting in Country Y, and started reading…

On the other hand, Chi Enen stepped out of the school and remembered that she was flat broke, not having a cent on her. She took out her mobile phone and called Lin Anxin, hoping to get Lin to pick her up, but the phone was out of service.
She then called Lin Auxin’s agent Andy, only to learn that Lin had boarded an airplane to Hoggz Island for a vacation ten minutes ago. The plane must have taken off by now, which is why it was turned off.
Chi Enen hung up the phone, pursing her lips tightly.
How could she be so unlucky, that Anxin would be gone at this time? She didn’t have many close friends in Rainy City. Was she supposed to call Chi Jianguo?
Even if she did, Chi Jianguo might not care to respond.
With no money and nowhere to go, Chi Enen felt a sense of relief as if she had fought a hard battle and finally come back alive.
The wound on her shoulder throbbed, and a large bruise discolored her wrist.
She limped towards Zijing Garden.
Her clothes were still at Zijing Garden; in any case, she had to get her things first.
One and a half hours later.
Chi Enen finally made it back to Zijing Garden.
Just as she was about to go in, she froze—
