Chapter 6 (1/2)

Saving a Life

Xu Jiaojiao guessed that Qi Shenbai had agreed to her request largely because of her brother, Xu Zhengyang. Hence, she smiled gratefully at Pei Yan’s reminder. “Thank you.”

Pei Yan glanced at the butler of Qingshui Villa. The butler understood and gestured for her to follow him. “Miss Xu, please follow me.”

Xu Jiaojiao followed the butler to the second floor. Recalling her deal with Qi Shenbai, she stopped Pei Yan, who was about to leave, and asked, “Um, about… Miss Qi…”

Pei Yan stopped in his tracks. He first glanced at the butler and replied concisely, “Someone will pick you up tomorrow.”

Xu Jiaojiao understood and stopped talking.

The butler brought Xu Jiaojiao to the room with the best lighting on the second floor. “Miss Xu, are you satisfied with this room? If not, we can change it.”

Xu Jiaojiao stood outside the door and roughly glanced at the layout of the room. She secretly thought that Mr. Qi was really a good person. Not only did he agree to her request, but he also gave her a room with such good lighting.

Xu Jiaojiao had just arrived and did not want to disturb Qi Shenbai’s daily schedule, so she asked the butler to send dinner to her room. After dinner, she took out a set of pajamas from her suitcase and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then, she lay on the soft bed.

After a long day, she was already very tired. However, whenever she closed her eyes, her mind would buzz and she could not fall asleep. When she thought of Lu Zhuo leaving without hesitation, she could not help but feel sad.

However, he did not like her and even abandoned her at the wedding. She felt that he was not worth feeling upset over.

In the end, Xu Jiaojiao sat up and cheered herself on. “Xu Jiaojiao, you’re the best! Even if you’re sad, you can only be sad for one night. From tomorrow onwards, forget about Lu Zhuo. It wasn’t easy for you to survive, so you have to cherish your hard-earned life now! All the best! You’re the best!”

…

Xu Jiaojiao almost did not sleep the entire night. She only fell asleep in a daze when the sun was about to rise. However, not long after she fell asleep, there was a knock on the door. It was the butler, reminding her that the driver was coming.
