Chapter 900: He Jichen, Let’s Have A Baby (50)

After leaving the set, Ji Yi headed back to the hotel. When Zhuang Yi and Tang Huahua finished packing suitcases for the three of them, Ji Yi immediately checked out and left the film studio.

It was still early - it was only eight something, so there was quite a bit of traffic. The car drove alternatingly fast and slow towards the city center for about twenty minutes. After Zhuang Yi turned to look back at Ji Yi countless times, she finally realized that the expression in Ji Yi's eyes wasn't as threatening as before. Zhuang Yi bent over to grab a bottle of water, twisted the cap, and handed it to Ji Yi.

Ji Yi, who had been staring at the night sky outside, turned and glanced over at Zhuang Yi when she felt a gentle touch on her arm. When she saw the water in front of her, she softly thanked her and took it.

Just as they left the studio, Zhuang Yi and Tang Huahua sweetly tried to cheer Ji Yi up, but she didn't make a peep. Now that Zhuang Yi witnessed Ji Yi finally saying something, she let out a sigh of relief and quickly asked, ”Xiao Yi, are you alright?”

Ji Yi nodded silently then put the bottle of water to her lips and took a sip.

After she finished drinking, the car was quiet for a while before Zhuang Yi spoke again. ”During filming, the covers were pulled up so nobody saw anything. Was that when Yang Li did something to you under the sheets?”

Although she had clothes on, Ji Yi couldn't help but feel disgusted at the thought of Yang Li's hand touching her breasts. She pursed her lips forcefully and gently nodded at Zhuang Yi.

Tang Huahua, who was driving at the front, saw Ji Yi's reaction through the rearview mirror and immediately exploded. ”Not only does he have a bad mouth, but he's got perverted hands too! I freaking hate men who get handsy! You were really going easy on him when you gave him two slaps on the face...”

Tang Huahua only stopped after a long rant.

She stared ahead at the traffic and drove on for a little while before she suddenly shouted angrily. ”...The more I think about it, the more pissed I get. I really can't stand it! I'm going to call Chen Bai and tell him what happened. We can't just let it slide!”

”Huahua!” Zhuang Yi shouted the very moment Tang Huahua raised her phone.

”Zhuang Jie!” Tang Huahua was upset by Zhuang Yi's attempt to stop her.

Zhuang Yi didn't say anything but through the rearview mirror, she shot Tang Huahua a glance with her aims directed towards where Ji Yi was sitting.

Tang Huahua stopped speaking and glanced over at Ji Yi then reluctantly lowered her phone.

That was when Zhuang Yi turned her head and looked over at Ji Yi. She stared at Ji Yi's profile for a while then quickly said, ”Xiao Yi, do you still not want to tell Mr. He about what happened today?”

Ji Yi stared out the car window without replying to Zhuang Yi. Her gaze was a little dazed and it wasn't evident what she was thinking.

The car continued to drive ahead for some distance when Zhuang Yi continued by saying, ”Xiao Yi?”

Ji Yi didn't wait for Zhuang Yi to finish when she moved her lips and said with a soft tone: ”Do you girls still remember the huge news scoop published online a few years ago?”

”Specifically, about the reporter intern who interviewed an old woman? After the news went out, it created a huge buzz at the time.”

”The old lady's husband was a high ranking person in a drug-dealing ring. Her husband died getting caught while in that drug dealing ring.”

Zhuang Yi and Tang Huahua had no idea why Ji Yi suddenly brought up such an old piece of news.

Through the rearview mirror, they exchanged glances but nobody interrupted Ji Yi.

”At the time, the old lady was a college professor, but because of her husband's criminal activity, she attracted a lot of criticism. In the end, the old lady quit her job at the college.”

”The old lady had no kids and lived alone for forty years. It wasn't until just before she died that everyone found out through a female reporter intern's interview that her husband wasn't a drug dealer at all. In fact, he was an undercover police officer.”

”At the time, her husband cracked a big case when they caught the drug dealers. The only reason why it wasn't publicized was because the cops were afraid people would try to take revenge by harming the old lady when the truth came out. In the end, the old lady's husband carried a bad name all that time until just before the old lady passed.”

”When the intern interviewed the old lady, she asked if she and her husband felt mistreated.”

”The old lady replied she has regretted a lot in this world, but if she cared too much, she wouldn't have lived happily...”

With that said, Ji Yi paused for a moment then continued to say, ”...So sometimes, it's not bad to have regrets. Don't you think?”

Even if she really liked filming and really wanted to make a name for herself in the entertainment business...

Even if she really wanted to stomp Qian Ge to death and wanted to get back everything she owed her...

In life, who got absolutely everything they wanted?

For each day she stayed in showbiz, the name ”murderer” would forever hang over He Jichen's head.

She didn't want to encounter someone like Yang Li talking about He Jichen in front of everyone ever again.

Even if she knew He Jichen was wrong to have stabbed Qian Ge, Qian Ge did things herself that were even more overboard.

However, she and He Jichen had no evidence. Rather than wasting her time with Qian Ge, why not just leave showbiz and happily spend her days with He Jichen?

Just like that night at the Television Awards, after she finished her confession to He Jichen in front of the whole world, He Jichen asked her if they were acting stupid. She said no because she honestly thought they weren't being stupid. In fact, not only was she not being stupid, but she felt like she had won.

So now that she had He Jichen by her side, what else did she need to care about?

With that thought, Ji Yi suddenly moved on.

Zhuang Yi and Tang Huahua didn't quite understand what she meant, so their eyes were filled with confusion.

Ji Yi didn't explain but merely said, ”Don't tell He Jichen about everything that happened on set.” Then she fell silent again.

At that moment, Ji Yi felt like she was reincarnated. She stared out at the nightlife endlessly passing by the window as her lips couldn't help but lift into a slight smile.

So as it turned out, letting go of a grudge could be quite relieving sometimes.

...

It was half past nine in the evening by the time she returned home.

He Jichen called her in advance to say he would be out on business in the evening.
