C9 Someone Died

"CEO Ji is the one who's fooling with me," With the contract in my hand, I stood up with courage and pointed at the clause.

With that, I threw the agreement on Ji Qingxuan, turned around and left.

I did not even dare to look back.

Afraid that if I left a second later, I would not be able to keep up with the act and exposed my pathetic side to him.

I walked at a quick pace all the way to the entrance of the residential building, looking at the luxurious residential building behind me, thinking about the naive thoughts I had previously. How pathetic and hilarious I was.

Ji Qingxuan was the CEO of the Qingtian Group, how could he even have feelings for me just because we had spent a night together?

Even if I had a similar face as the one he loved.

After that I moved into Jiang Qin's house and started my new life.

Now, I have already graduated from college. I am an interior designer, and I had an internship in a well-managed company during my senior year. Although I was already an official employee because the Qin Family said that Ji Family was highly respected, they did not want their daughter-in-law to show up in public.

Therefore, I had no choice but to quit my job like a fool.

Now I was able to restart my life over again.

Lucky enough, when the head of the internship company found out about my situation, he immediately agreed to hire me again.

The wages and benefits remain the same.

My job required me to go to the construction site very often, and working overtime was a common occurrence too. Nonetheless, I would have to work during the weekend too.

A day after a week, I worked overtime until eleven at night. I knew there was a bag of instant noodles at home, so I was planning to go home for dinner then sleep.

Jiang Qin's house was an old house, the lights in the corridor had long been broken, therefore, I would have walked through the dark in order to reach her house. However, the moment I reached my house, I saw someone holding a phone flashlight, standing in front of the door. Immediately, the first thing that came to my mind was that Jiang Qin forgot to bring her keys.

I couldn't help but tease her, "Sister Jiang, I've been staying here for half a month now and I'm surprised that this is the first time you've forgotten to bring keys."

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized that that person was not Jiang Qin due to the height.

Before I could take a closer look, the person put the phone back into the pocket and said, "Qin Jiaqi, you bitch, what did you say to Qingxuan?"

Only then did I realize that she was Qin Jiameng.

"What did I say?" I was so hungry I could not recall what I have said.

"Did you tell him that my personal life is messed up? Somebody told me that he's investigating my past!" She said while walked down the stairs, towards me.

With what she said, only then I remembered that I have told Ji Qingxuan the shameful secrets I knew about Qin Jiameng when I was drunk that night.

Ji Qingxuan turned out to believe me and secretly investigate her past even though he pretended not to believe me.

Knowing about this lightened up my day, "What does this have to do with me? After all, the Ji Family is a noble family. It's normal for them to investigate the heir's wife. What's the problem with that?"

The hallway was dark and I could not see Qin Jiameng's expression clearly. Then, she remained silent for a few seconds.

I thought she had given up, so I said, "If you don't have anything else, then I'm leaving."

However, just as I was about to leave, she grabbed my arm and gave off a burst of mysterious laughter, "Qin Jiaqi, do you think he'll marry you after doing this? I just want to tell you, it's impossible for him to marry you!"

Then she suddenly let go of my arm, took two steps back and shouted, "No, no, help!"

Then, a loud scream sounded from the dark corridor. It was the sound of someone rolling down the stairs!

After that, the silence hung in the air like the suspended moment before a falling glass shatters on the ground.

I was stupefied, never thought that Qin Jiameng would do this to herself.

She rolled down from the third floor and because it was so loud, the man on the third floor opened the door with his wife hiding behind him.

The lights from the house shone on Qin Jiameng and I could see Qin Jiameng lying on the ground, motionless.

"Is she dead?!" The wife saw and screamed

Although, I was mad, but I still called 120 immediately.
