Chapter 414: Chapter 414
Mai Qiqi only told Wan Chu’er what was going on when they were on the road.
"What?!" Wan Chu’er almost drove her car into a streetlight.
Cheating? Wan Chu’er found it unimaginable.
She recalled how, after she had given Mai Qiqi a kiss, An Zihao had yelled at her several times as if she was his enemy. Afterwards, whenever she saw the two of them, they were always inseparable.
Plus, just two months ago when Mai Qiqi was abroad, she sweetly mentioned that An Zihao was always waiting to marry her.
Wan Chu’er asked, "Are you sure? Did you see it with your own eyes? Hear it with your own ears? Have you confirmed it personally with An Zihao?"
Mai Qiqi said indignantly, "I saw it with my own eyes. The day before yesterday, I was rushing a paper at the library and stayed up all night. I didn’t get back to the dorm until four in the morning, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw An Zihao and another woman naked in bed."
"With it having gone that far, what more is there to say?"
Wan Chu’er asked, "So, in a fit of rage, you just caught a plane back? Does An Zihao know you’re back? And what about your studies?"
Mai Qiqi sniffled, "Should I have stayed to watch those adulterers put on a disgusting show? Don’t worry about my studies; I’ve submitted the final draft of my paper. All that’s left is the graduation ceremony, which doesn’t matter if I miss it."
Wan Chu’er felt that Mai Qiqi was still very emotional. She decided to wait before calling An Zihao to find out the full story.
"Did you cry all the way here?"
Mai Qiqi wiped away fresh tears, "The shock was just too much; it’s already good that I didn’t resort to extremes."
Wan Chu’er was speechless: "You’re talking about going to extremes over this. Please don’t mention that you know me when you go out."
She said, "Do you want to go home? If not, you can rest at my place first. I have something on tonight, but I’ll come back after and keep you company."
She was supposed to meet with Crown Prince and Xiao Bai tonight.
Mai Qiqi nodded. When they got to Jinse Garden, Mai Qiqi asked, "Why is there no one at home? Even Chuanqi and Hunter aren’t here, I wanted to hug them."
Wan Chu’er said, "They’ve gone to the old house. I’ll make you some noodles. Eat something and get some good sleep." Probably this girl hasn’t had anything to eat or drink since she caught An Zihao cheating.
"Okay, Chuchu, you’re so kind."
"Go on, go take a shower. You can eat after you’re done." She ushered Mai Qiqi into the bathroom.
Meanwhile, at the old house, Li Shan felt uneasy not seeing Mao Xiaoyu. After waiting for a while and unable to sit still, he told the old master and then drove out.
He was worried Mao Xiaoyu couldn’t get into the gates of Jinse Garden and also didn’t know to come to the old house, foolishly waiting outside.
When he drove into a secluded part of the road, he glanced to the side, kept driving for a few seconds, and then suddenly "screeched" to a halt.
He then frantically reversed back; in that brief glance, he thought he saw a few people in an alley, wearing clothes in colors Xiao Yu often wore.
In the alley, Mao Xiaoyu watched the three men in front of her with horror. Those men looked like no good, and as she passed by the alley, she was pushed in and blocked from behind. She tried running forward, but there was another person in front.
"Sis, hand over the money nicely."
"I don’t have any money," Mao Xiaoyu said, terrified.
"Heh heh, no money? Then you can pay with your body, sis. You’ve got such lovely eyes that they’re making brother’s heart itch."
"Please... let me go, I really don’t have any money," Mao Xiaoyu pleaded subconsciously, intending to scream for help—only the speeding cars passed by the alley’s entrance, no one was around, she felt utterly desperate.
"Let brother have a good feel first, to see if you really have no money or you’re deceiving us, sister."
As a greasy, sleazy man approached her, Mao Xiaoyu retreated in terror.
"You... don’t come any closer, what you’re doing is illegal, aren’t you afraid of going to jail?"
Unfortunately, these people were not scared at all; on the contrary, seeing her shrink back made them even more arrogant.
Just as one man’s hand was about to touch her body, with the other two looking on with enjoyment, Mao Xiaoyu bit down hard on the disgusting hand in desperation.
"Ow—You bitch, let go of me!"
"Slap!" Mao Xiaoyu was struck on the face, her slender cheek immediately swelling up.
Seeing that the two onlookers started coming towards her, Mao Xiaoyu felt a wave of despair and slammed her head against the wall beside her, preferring death over being defiled by these men.
Li Shan came by and saw Mao Xiaoyu lying on the ground covered in blood. He was seething with anger, his eyes wide with rage. With a kick, he violently lashed out at the three stunned men.
Li Shan, as if he had gone mad, rained down punches on the three men until they were howling and whimpering, before collapsing on the ground. After making a call to the police, he immediately picked up Mao Xiaoyu and ran to the hospital.
"Xiao Yu, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid..."
He was clumsy with words, and all the way to the hospital, he just kept repeating "don’t be afraid," either to comfort Mao Xiaoyu or perhaps to mask his own fear.
Wan Chu’er had no idea about Mao Xiaoyu’s ordeal. After serving Mai Qiqi a bowl of noodles and making sure she finished eating, she arranged for her to sleep in the guest room, then went to the study to call An Zihao. This update is available on novel_fіre.net
The phone rang for a long time before An Zihao finally picked up.
"Hello, who is this?"
It was night overseas, and An Zihao sounded drowsy.
Wan Chu’er snorted coldly, still able to sleep!
"It’s Wan Chu’er. What’s going on between you and Mai Qiqi?" she asked pointedly.
Hearing Wan Chu’er’s cold, piercing voice, An Zihao swiftly became alert. "Who? Wan Chu’er, why are you calling? Is something the matter? Oh, Qiqi... Qiqi is fine."
Still playing games with her.
"An Zihao, if you’re a man, just get to the point. Don’t spout useless nonsense. Are you planning to break up with Mai Qiqi?"
With Wan Chu’er speaking so bluntly, An Zihao got the message. It appeared Mai Qiqi had already informed Wan Chu’er. He thought for a moment before responding:
"I’m very confused right now, both Qiqi and I need some time to calm down."
Calm down my ass! Wan Chu’er felt a surge of anger. She had really misjudged An Zihao, who turned out to be completely irresponsible.
"First, tell me about that woman and you. How did you two end up in bed together? Did you initiate it? Or did you get drunk and fall into a trap?"
An Zihao didn’t expect Wan Chu’er to be so direct. He gave a wry smile and said, "Wan Chu’er, this matter can’t be explained in just a few words. Give me some time to think."
Wan Chu’er, leaving a parting shot "Mai Qiqi has already returned to the country," hung up the phone without hesitation.
