Chapter 144: Going Down the Mountain
Jian Ai instinctively looked up and saw Yan Tian looking at her awkwardly.
She could not help but feel a little surprised. If she did not remember wrongly, Yan Tian had always disliked her.
Perhaps because of what had happened last night, Yan Tian had a new understanding of Jian Ai. Although Yan Tian felt uncomfortable, he still handed the food in his hand to her. “We’ve already eaten just now. You have some too.”
Jian Ai didn’t think too much about it. Since the other party took the initiative to be friendly, why not?
She raised her eyebrows and took it gladly, not forgetting to say, “Thank you.”
Perhaps Jian Ai was indeed a little hungry since she ate a piece of bread in a few bites. At this moment, Qiao Shuyi walked into the hall gracefully from the revolving door.
“Mom, how is Lin Yi?” Jian Yiyi ran over first and asked about Lin Yi as she was worried.
The others also stood up and surrounded her. They were all very concerned about Lin Yi’s condition.
Qiao Shuyi smiled at everyone and said softly, “Don’t worry, everyone. Lin Yi’s life is not in danger. We transferred him to the First Hospital in Baiyun City early in the morning. If you’re worried, you can go to the hospital to visit him in the afternoon.”
Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and Jian Ai also secretly relaxed.
If something happened to Lin Yi because of the fountain pen she gave him, Jian Ai wouldn’t know how to react.
Fortunately, he was fine.
Qiao Shuyi arranged for a car to send them down the mountain. She also said that the Jian Group would be responsible for this matter. As for whether to compensate and how much to compensate, they could only decide after the company had discussed this.
Apart from Jian Ai and Guan Tao, the rest of the people were all rich kids, so they didn’t care about compensation. Their lives were safe now, and they were already satisfied that they could return home safely.
After going down the mountain, Jian Ai didn’t ask the driver to send her home. Instead, she got out of the car alone in Baiyun Square. After bidding farewell to everyone, she walked towards Bai Zhou’s residence.
Even if she were to go home now, there would probably be no one at home. She also forgot to take her keys as she escaped yesterday. Thinking that she still had a meeting with the company’s higher-ups in the afternoon, she planned to go straight to Bai Zhou.
At this moment, in Bai Zhou’s high-class apartment, the television was broadcasting the news of a fire in a guest villa at Baiyun Mountain Hot Springs Resorts.
Bai Zhou was drinking coffee in a black casual outfit. When he saw the news, he immediately became nervous. He remembered that the Sect Master went to this resort hotel to have fun yesterday.
Without thinking, Bai Zhou quickly walked to the sofa, picked up his phone, and pressed the number 1 speed dial.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”
He called her again, but her phone was switched off.
He called yet again, but her phone was still switched off.
His heart skipped a beat, and he was instantly surrounded by fear that spewed out. He immediately lost control and shouted, “Chi Yang!”
Chi Yang, who was baking a cake in the kitchen, rushed out when he heard the commotion. “Master!”
“Drive to the Baiyun Mountain Hot Springs Resorts immediately.”
As he spoke, Bai Zhou didn’t even change his clothes. He walked to the door, changed into his shoes, and pushed the door open.
Jian Ai was standing at the door, about to knock.
Their eyes met. Jian Ai blinked indifferently and slowly said under Bai Zhou’s shocked expression, “Ah… going out?”
Bai Zhou came back to his senses and heaved a sigh of relief, as if someone had lifted a heavy burden from his shoulders.
Chi Yang, who did not know what was going on, took his car keys and rushed over. He had forgotten to take off his apron. When he saw Jian Ai standing outside the door, his body instantly straightened. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “Sect Master!”
