C8 It's All Wrong to Take a Look
Ji Mingming smiled mysteriously. "You will know in a while."
Hsiao Ann knew that she did not bring her back to the hotel. She took out her phone and wanted to send a message but unexpectedly Ji Mingming sneered in front of her, "Give me her bag and phone."
The boy beside her snatched her bag and phone. Hsiao Ann stood up from her seat and reached out to grab it back. That man threw the bag to the boy in the front passenger seat, "Yo, yo. Huh?"
Ji Mingming got even angrier when she heard that, "Damn it. You still have the face to snatch it? That was something you bought. You still want to seduce my brother? Do you want face? Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you worthy? Don't think that you're amazing because you know how to play Go. I can buy as much as I want for someone like you. You're nothing!"
She cursed in anger. The boy beside her pulled Xiao An back to his seat. Lee Sinian had bought the bag and the phone. She didn't care. He had insisted on giving it to her.
The boy asked, "She clearly owes you money, but what happened to you?"
The girl caught the main point. "Your brother, Lee Sinian? It can't be. How dare a high school student seduce Lee Sinian? Your brother even bought a bag for her?"
Ji Mingming said impatiently, "Shut the f * ck up."
The woman suddenly became interested. She pulled Hsiao Ann's hair and looked at her face. "I didn't see it. With such a figure and beauty, you still dare to seduce Lee Sinian. This is really bold."
She looked up and down at Hsiao Ann's chest. "You haven't even fully developed yet, right? Your brother is so handsome. Don't tell me he likes this."
"You shut up. My brother doesn't like her."
The boy with the buzz cut took a look and saw Hsiao Ann lowering her head. Her entire body was trembling. He reached out his hand to touch her face a little nastily. "It's just that she's a little tender. She's still quite pretty."
Ji Mingming lightly laughed and said, "Let her accompany you tonight. Do you dare to take it?"
Ji Mingming really could do it. Hsiao Ann was angry and afraid and she could not shout but she was still calling for help outside and could only make a hoarse sound. The boy touched her body and said, "Come on, I am not able to eat such a tender body."
The girl at the side scoffed, "Coward!"
The car drove on the highway around the city and drove for more than an hour on the road. The further they went, the less people there were in the suburbs. When they got off the highway, there was not even a light. The car ran on the uneven road for a while and finally stopped.
The companion who accompanied them probably had some lingering fear. "Obviously, what do you want to do? Killing people is against the law."
Ji Ming understood them. "What are you afraid of?"
This was an abandoned garbage processing plant. There was no one to manage it here. Many companies quietly transported the rubbish here. Ji Mingming got out of the car first, pulled Xiao An down, and threw him on the ground.
Hsiao Ann did not even have the time to stand up when she stepped on Hsiao Ann's back and turned her heels. The sharp heels on her back hurt so Hsiao Ann broke out in cold sweat, "Hsiao Ann, I am warning you. If you dare to approach my brother again... I will not be so easy to talk to today."
Hsiao Ann grabbed her foot with one hand and Ji Mingming saw that she still dare to resist. Using some strength, Hsiao Ann stuck her head against the soil. But her hands did not let go and her fingertips forcefully stabbed into Ji Mingming's flesh. The pain made Ji Mingming scream and raise her leg to kick fiercely on her back. It was only when Hsiao Ann could no longer raise her head that she clapped her hands in satisfaction. "Today I will teach you a lesson so that you, a toad, will not want to eat swan meat."
She turned around and entered the car. She called out to her companion, "Get in the car. Let's go."
A group of people got in the car and drove away. Ji Mingming had not taught them a lesson once or twice. This kind of punishment was considered light, so no one tried to persuade her.
Halfway through the car, Ji Mingming opened the window and threw Hsiao Ann's bag and phone out of the window. She then turned on the music and felt extremely relieved. She heard that there were homeless people staying near the waste dump. Whether she could meet them or not depended on her luck.
The boy in the passenger seat touched her neck and said, "Grandaunt, you are also angry. Let's go drink."
Ji Mingming shook her head, "Not going. My brother is back. I have to go with him."
The girl at the side screamed, "Lee Sinian, clearly, can you take me there?"
Ji Mingming glanced at her proudly. "No."
The girl pretended to scream and blinked, "When will you let me see your brother?"
Ji Mingming became even more proud. "Depends on my mood."
Back home, Lee Sinian had not slept yet. He sat in the corridor under the roof, lost in thought. When he saw Ji Mingming come in from outside, he frowned and said, "I went out to play again. Aren't you staying at school? You don't have classes tomorrow?"
Ji Mingming stuck out her tongue and ran to sit in front of him. "I only came back because I was studying."
Lee Sinian's eyes were sharp. He looked at her ankles. "What happened to her feet?"
"She was scratched by a classmate's cat."
Lee Sinian hummed and said again, "It's late. You should sleep early."
He was a night owl himself. Ji Mingming knew that he wanted to send her away, so she probed again, "Brother. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Without waiting for his reply, she promised solemnly, "I'm not worried. I swear I will never tell anyone."
Lee Sinian said, "No."
He nodded and said, "Alright."
Ji Mingming was a little disappointed. After a while, Lee Sinian asked," What happened during the summer vacation when Hsiao Ann left? "
When she heard Lee Sinian mention this, she immediately pulled her face down, "What could have happened? It is still fine now."
She snorted and turned around to enter the house. She did not take Hsiao Ann's actions to heart. This was just like the countless pranks she had done to Little Mute in the past.
She turned around and went into Lee Sinian's bedroom. His phone was thrown on the bed. There were a few missed calls on it. They were all from Dean Qin. She picked up the phone and turned off the power. She went back to the living room and stuffed it under the sofa before going upstairs.
Dean Qin was so anxious in the hotel. At nine o'clock, he had sent a message to Hsiao Ann saying that they were on the way. It was eleven o'clock now, and she had not arrived yet. Her phone was also turned off. She was a person with zero life skills and communication skills. Dean Qin regretted not following her.
He wanted to ask Lee Sinian if Hsiao Ann had any close friends with her. In the end, no one answered the call and turned off the phone. Dean Qin waited anxiously for more than an hour. He was afraid that Hsiao Ann would have an accident, so he finally could not sit still and called the police. He then contacted the local department in charge.
This was a person from the General Administration. The people from the Public Security Bureau did not dare to neglect him. They suspected that there was a high possibility of an accident happening. The Emergency Department of the various major accidents performed an emergency investigation. Finally, at dawn, they received a call. It was said that an abandoned garbage treatment center in the suburbs had found a suspected missing person. When the people nearby found her, she was curled up in an old, abandoned furnace. She was still holding a brick in her hand.
Dean Qin looked at the photo and knew it was undoubtedly Hsiao Ann. When he went to the hospital, Hsiao Ann was already asleep. The doctor said that other than the injury on her back, her body did not suffer any other injuries. It was probably because she was cold and scared. The fever was severe. It would be fine after the fever subsided.
He wanted to go in and take a look. The doctor shook his head again. "She was stimulated. Just now, two people checked her body before pressing her down. She just fell asleep after taking a sedative. It's best not to go in. She needs to rest now."
Dean Qin nodded. He did not know why Hsiao Ann would go to the garbage treatment field in the suburbs. He could only wait for her to wake up.
His phone rang. It was from the other end of Japan. Dean Qin had a headache. The other end was still asking about Hsiao Ann's household registration. Dean Qin hesitated for a while and decided not to say anything about the current situation. He only said that everything was fine.
Just as he hung up, Lee Sinian's phone rang. "Are you guys not in the hotel?"
Dean Qin thought he had gotten the household register. "Can I go through the formalities today?"
Lee Sinian was silent for a while and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Where is she?"
Dean Qin sighed. "In the hospital."
Dean Qin roughly said it. Lee Sinian gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still need to ask? She either lost her phone or wallet or got cheated. She is really stupid. She can lose it a second time after losing it once. She is lucky if she has nothing to do with it."
Lee Sinian put down his phone. Fu Yung heard his words and rushed over. She looked up and asked, "Who are you talking to? Why are you so angry?"
Lee Sinian suppressed the boredom in his heart, "Co-worker."
He held his phone and turned around to leave. When he walked to the door, he looked back again. "Mom, how long do you want to hate me for all these years? Aren't you tired? If you want to give me your account book, then give it to me. If you don't give it to me, then go back to S City today. If you want to mess around with my dad, then go ahead. I don't care anymore. As for Hsiao Ann's account, she was now a chess player that she had focused on fostering in the Chess Hall. If she is no longer a homeless person in our house, they will also have a way. Why do you need to be such a bad person? "
Ji Mingming and Lee Jia who were standing by the side looked at him in shock. Fu Yung's face darkened and she fiercely slapped the chopsticks in her hand, "Lee Sinian, who are you talking to now? You are denouncing your mother for outsiders?"
Lee Sinian let out a long sigh, "I also hate her, so I want her to move away as soon as possible. I am saying this now for you and for my father. Think about it."
He did not wait for her to refute him. He took his phone and keys and drove out of the door. He walked around aimlessly on the street. He wanted to go to the hospital to take a look. His appearance would probably cause even more trouble.
The phone in his pocket vibrated. It was Gu Mingjiang's again. He answered the call anxiously. "Why aren't you back yet? The notice can't change the time."
Lee Sinian said somewhat grumpily, "If it can't be changed, then push it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and drove to the tea shop in the suburbs. He stayed there for the whole day and Dean Qin did not call again.
Xiao An did not sleep for long. She woke up after the effects of the medicine were over. She stared at the ceiling. She did not react when Dean Qin asked her anything. She only stared at the ceiling absentmindedly. Dean Qin did not dare to let the police in.
Hsiao Ann had experienced this kind of thing many times when she was young last night. This time it was just a repeat of the old trick. The one who was punished in the end had always been herself. Ji Mingming, who was not the cause of it, and anyone else would also get the same result this time, so she did not want to say anything.
She had also done wrong. She should not have accepted the gift from Lee Sinian and should not have any relationship with the Lee family. Even if she took a look, it would be wrong.
