Chapter 1372 - I Only Want You (2/2)

Her anxiety faded the moment she saw Pei Yi.

She pushed the man away and began walking toward Pei Yi.

The drunk man initially wanted to grab her. However, he stopped the moment he saw her walking toward Pei Yi.

There were lots of men in the room, and they began teasing and baiting her instantly.

“Ah, this little babe has set her sights on Master Pei. What a unique taste she’s got.”

“Master Pei, this babe is rather pretty. Are you interested in her?”

Pei Yi said coldly, “How is she in any way pretty? She’s hideous.”

Jing Chu turned pale instantly with a look of disbelief in her eyes. The man who had once called her charming was now calling her hideous. How fickle. He’s obviously gotten sick of me.

Just as Jing Chu was about to leave after hearing his snide remark, the men inside the room hurriedly stopped her.

Pei Yi said to the man grabbing Jing Chu, “Have you really got such poor taste in women?”

The man let go of her furiously.

No one else dared to stop Jing Chu, who hurriedly sprinted out of the nightclub.

She stood rooted to the ground and recalled the words that Pei Yi had said. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back with all her might.

Jing Chu walked at an exceptionally slow pace while making her way back. She was so distracted that she did not notice her surroundings at all. She only snapped back to reality the moment she walked into a lamppost, after which she discovered that she had no idea where she was.

She was lost.

She did not have her mobile phone either.

She frantically turned around and began walking back.

However, she soon began to sense that something was amiss. Having only gone out of the estate a pathetic number of times before, she could not recognize where she was at all.

Pangs of panic and fear engulfed Jing Chu, and she had no choice but to search continuously.

She did not stop even when it started raining, for fear that she could not find her way back.

Fortunately, her efforts paid off and she finally found the nightclub.

Just as she was sprinting toward the nightclub, she was sent flying into the air by a speeding car. The moment Jing Chu landed on the ground, all her fear had vanished and there was only one thing on her mind. I shouldn’t have come out tonight. I really shouldn’t.

The luxury car came to a halt, and the female driver alighted from the car before sprinting toward her. Staring at Jing Chu, who was twitching uncontrollably, she got a great shock and was at a sudden loss for what to do. “Why did you run into the middle of the road all of a sudden? I’ll… I’ll send you to the hospital now.”

At the same time, Pei Yi had just exited the nightclub and was about to leave in his car. However, a sullen expression formed on his face the moment he saw Tian Tian helping Jing Chu up and closed his car door.

He then strode toward them quickly.

Upon the sight of him, Tian Tian said anxiously, “Pei Yi, I ran over someone. I can’t carry her. Hurry and help me carry her into my car. I’m sending her to the hospital.”

Pei Yi picked Jing Chu up and carried her into Tian Tian’s car before grabbing her car keys and handing her his own. He wanted her to drive his car away while he drove Jing Chu to the hospital.

Tian Tian arrived ten minutes after he did. It was her first time running over someone. The moment she hit Jing Chu with her car, she felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

Upon the sight of Pei Yi, who was standing outside the operating theater, Tian Tian immediately said, “I was driving fine but she zoomed out onto the road all of a sudden. That’s how I knocked into her. I wouldn’t have run over anyone otherwise. How unlucky. I’m so exasperated. Thank god you were there. If not, I wouldn’t have known what to do. I wonder how she’s doing now. I’m going to be in trouble if she kicks the bucket. I have to compensate her with a ton of money too.”

Just as she was about to lean against Pei Yi, he dodged her and sat down quietly.

Noticing the sullen expression on his face, Tian Tian asked, “What were you doing there?”

“I was discussing a deal and happened to see you when I came out.”
