Chapter 278 - Smokescreen
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Fang Yingxue had no idea what to do.
Faced with Qin Jiatong’s anxious questions, she furrowed her brows tightly.
“Mom can’t take you out now…”
With just one sentence, Qin Jiatong completely broke down, “Why can’t you take me out? Mom, are you not going to care about me? I know I’m not as good at school as my sister, and I’m not as smart as my sister. But Mom, I’ll change everything that I’ve done wrong. Don’t abandon me and ignore me, okay?”
She hugged Fang Yingxue’s leg tightly, refusing to let go.
“Mom, you’re the only one I have left. I’m still young, and I haven’t even gone to university yet. I can’t be delayed.”
“I’ll listen to you in the future if I don’t do well in my school exams. I’ll repeat my studies, and I’ll prepare well for my postgraduate entrance exams in the future. I’ll study seriously…”
“Mom, can you take me out?”
Fang Yingxue watched her youngest daughter who was on the verge of breaking down.
Fang Yingxue naturally couldn’t remain indifferent, but this matter..
She sighed and lowered her head to look at Qin Jiatong with a complicated expression.
“Unless you have evidence to prove your innocence in this matter, you can only wait for the police to investigate the truth of this matter.”
“But don’t worry. Mom will not ignore you. Mom will also help you find evidence outside and find people to investigate this matter…”
“Also, the police won’t accuse anyone wrongly. They promised me just now.”
Qin Jiatong was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.
Was this really her biological mother?
How old was she? Why was she still so damn naive?
In other words, she was stupid.
She would even find evidence to clear her name…
But she couldn’t say anything in front of the two police officers. She could only hug Fang Yingxue and cry.
Until someone urged Fang Yingxue to leave.
“Mrs. Qin, it’s almost time. You have to leave.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll leave now.”
Fang Yingxue turned around to leave.
However, she was directly pounced on by Qin Jiatong. “Mom, sob, sob, I’m scared…”
Until Fang Yingxue walked out of the temporary detention room. Her eyes were still red.
She turned her head to wipe the corner of her eyes and looked at the staff behind her with a gloomy face.
“My daughter must have been wronged in this matter. I hope that you will investigate it from the beginning. Don’t just listen to what is said.”
“Mrs. Qin, don’t worry. We will carefully investigate and collect evidence. We will not malign your daughter.”
At this point, the staff member who spoke suddenly thought of something,
The two people who had been frightened and injured, one of them was also the daughter of the lady in front of her. The one who had been injured by the collision was still the mother of this lady, right?
However, they didn’t see this person showing too much pain or sadness.
On the contrary, she was a lot more worried about this suspect, Qin Jiatong.
She remembered that she had previously investigated the circumstances of the people behind this case.
That frightened eldest daughter had grown up in the countryside since she was young…
Now, it was normal for this mother to not have any feelings for that child!
Fang Yingxue did not say anything more as she turned around and walked out of the courtyard of the police station.
Although there was still a car at home, Fang Yingxue did not know how to drive. Their current situation meant that they could not afford a driver.
In the end, Fang Yingxue chose to sell the car and exchange it for a sum of money to save up.
Therefore, she could only take a taxi in and out now.
What? Want her to squeeze onto the bus?
That’s impossible!
When she was waiting for a taxi on the street, she looked down at her pocket.
There was a note there.
It was stuffed in when Qin Yatong was hugging her and crying.
There was someone watching her just now, so Fang Yingxue didn’t dare to do anything.
Even now, she still didn’t dare.
After getting into a taxi, Fang Yingxue wasn’t in the mood to go anywhere else and went straight home.
In the living room.
Fang Yingxue changed her clothes and sat on the sofa. After pursing her lips, she took out that piece of paper with a complicated expression.
There were only a few short lines of words on it.
Fang Yingxue finished reading it almost instantly.
However, her expression changed along with the few lines of words on it.
In the end, her brows were tightly knitted, and her face was filled with hesitation.
This matter…
However, she did not hesitate for long before Fang Yingxue’s eyes flashed and she had already made a decision.
Tongtong was right.
She was indeed the only one left. Since that wretched lass could not be counted on, then why not…
…
In the ward.
After a few days of treatment and recuperation, grandmother Fang was no longer in serious danger.
She looked at her granddaughter who was sitting at the side helping her peel a banana and sighed in her heart.
This child was too sensible.
It didn’t feel good to be an adult.
Such a good child. Why didn’t that silly girl know how to cherish her?
“Granny, what are you thinking about? Eat a banana.”
She said she wanted to eat a banana just now.
But now, her mind started to wander.
Sure enough, she was young and old, like a child, and she would come up with an idea after a while!
Qin Yiyi smiled in her heart, but on the surface, she didn’t show it at all as she passed the peeled banana to Grandma Fang.
She put a soft pillow behind her. “It’s more comfortable this way.”
Grandma Fang took two bites and put it aside.
However, Qin Yiyi didn’t ask because she felt that the old lady had something to say to her.
Was it about the car accident?
She didn’t know what Fang Yingxue’s sobbing two days ago would remind the old lady of.
These two days, they had treated Fang Yingxue as if she had never come.
No one had mentioned that mother and daughter pair.
However, that didn’t mean this matter did not exist!
Seeing that Granny Fang hadn’t spoken for a long time, Qin Yiyi raised her eyebrows helplessly.
“Granny, is there something you want to tell me?”
“Ah, no, it’s not… It’s not a big deal either.”
Granny Fang composed herself and shook her head with a smile.
“When you get old, your brain won’t function well. Granny wants to tell you. Hurry up and report to the university. You have to come here every day.”
She looked at Qin Yiyi and said seriously, “Look, Grandma is fine now. The doctor said that there’s nothing left to take care of…”
“I can be discharged from the hospital in a few days and go home to rest, right?”
“With your grandfather, Xiaorou, Wuniang and the others, there’s no need for you to delay your studies to accompany me.”
“But Grandma, I’m worried about you.”
Qin Yiyi didn’t want to change her mind. “Grandma, let me tell you, I’m very smart. I can learn many things in one go.”
Yes, even if I don’t learn!
“I’ll wait for your injuries to heal and go home to stabilize before returning to school.”
Afraid that Grandma Fang would be worried, she added another sentence.
“I’ve already spoken to the school. They’ve agreed.”
To put it bluntly, with her results, even foreign universities could close their eyes and accept!
She chose to go to Peking University not because the conditions were the best, but because the qualities were the best.
Most of it was because of some feelings from her previous life.
Of course, the conditions of Peking University were indeed not bad.
“No, you have to report to the university right now.”
No one could make sense of Granny Fang’s stubbornness. It was obvious that she already had her own idea.
She looked at Qin Yiyi with a serious expression.
“If you don’t go to school, I’ll go home now.”
After a pause, she added, “Also, when we go back, your grandfather and I will pack up and go back to the countryside.”
“Anyway, now that you’ve grown up, you have your own ideas. You don’t need us to take care of you, we don’t need to control you, and we can’t control you either, right?”
Qin Yiyi,”…” Do you have to be like this?!
Outside the ward, Grandpa Fang, who had been listening the whole time, shook his head in amusement. He pushed the door open and walked in.
“Just listen to your grandmother. We’ll call you if there’s anything later.”
“Besides, the transportation system is developed now. If there’s really anything, you can fly back in one or two hours.”
Grandpa Fang looked at her with a face full of amusement. “I can’t convince your grandmother anyway. Do you want me to go back to your hometown with your grandmother?”
Qin Yiyi,”…” Fine, she would listen!
“Okay. But Grandma, I’ll wait until you’re discharged.”
Qin Yiyi chose to take a step back.
She looked at Grandma Fang and also insisted, “If you’re unwilling or insist on being discharged, then the three of us can all go back to the countryside.”
“If you and Grandpa won’t let me stay in my hometown, then I’ll buy a house next door.”
In the end, the three of them finally reached an agreement.
The doctor said that they could be discharged as soon as possible.
However, Qin Yiyi first had to go to the university to report that she needed to take a leave. If she really couldn’t get a leave, then she would wait until the weekend or when she was free to return to Shanghai. Qin Yiyi could only nod. In fact, she knew in her heart, even if she wasn’t here, with the Yang siblings, Du Wuniang, and Shang Jingheng’s people here, they would definitely not let grandma suffer the slightest grievance…
However, no matter how well others did, they couldn’t replace her.
Early the next morning, Qin Yiyi was urged by Grandma Fang to go to the university to register.
In her words, it was already too late to go over now. Since she had already agreed, then she should hurry over.
What was the point of dragging it out?!
Qin Yiyi had left by plane.
Shang Jingheng was not around. The matter of sending her off was originally left to Fang Jianwei, the uncle.
But in the end.
A large group of people came to snatch the chance from him!
In the end, Gu Yulin used some unknown method to make Fang Jianwei voluntarily withdraw.
Gu Yulin, who was driving all the way to the airport, was humming a song, very smug.
This time, there was no longer that Shang guy who was an eyesore to him!
The Shang guy hummed and laughed: Just wait!
Qin Yiyi thought that Gu Yulin was only sending her to the airport. Who knew that this guy would turn around and take out two tickets?
“Yiyi, let’s go. I’ll send you to the university.”
Qin Yi glanced at him. Her gaze swept over his flamboyant outfit and the wide sunglasses that could cover half of his face.
In the end, she sighed.
“Can I say that I don’t need you to send me off?”
“How can that be?”
Gu Yulin had a serious look on his face. “I promised Grandpa and Grandma that I would send you to university safely!”
“Aren’t you asking me to go back on my word?”
“Yiyi, this isn’t right…”
He babbled on and on.
Qin Yiyi decisively interrupted him, “I’m going to check the ticket!”
With that, she pushed her luggage and ran away.
She didn’t know that stupid rich idiot behind him!
“Hey, Yiyi, don’t run away. Give me your luggage, I’ll help you pull it…”
The two of them passed through the lounge like the wind and entered the boarding gate.
In the ward.
Granny Fang looked at the door and sighed softly. She slowly retracted her unfocused gaze.
“What? Didn’t you chase her away? Are you thinking about it now?”
Grandpa Fang walked over with a glass of milk and watched her drink it. Then, he teased her.
“Don’t worry. I’ve said it all. As long as the university gives her the leave, she’ll be back soon. Also, she’ll be back on weekends.”
“What do you mean by ‘back’? You told her to come back less. She’ll be wasting her time on the road.”
Grandma Fang glared at Grandpa Fang. “Don’t encourage her to come back on the phone. The child will be tired from her studies. Don’t make her run back and forth all the time.”
“I know, I know.”
The two of them talked as they slowly recalled something.
Fang Jianwei walked in with an angry face. “Dad, Mom…”
“You look so dark. Did you get into trouble again?”
“No, it wasn’t me.”
Fang Jianwei was irritated by his father’s suspicious look.
“Well, it really wasn’t me. I was fine. It was Yiyi, she…”
His words came to a sudden stop.
Fang Jianwei raised his hand and gently hit his mouth.
Fang Jianwei, I told you not to speak nonsense!
Didn’t you think twice on the way here and decided not to let your parents know about this?!
It was all because of this mouth!
He raised his hand and hit it again, and his face fell.
“Um, Dad, Mom, I…”
“What do you mean by I? What is it? Tell me quickly.”
Grandpa Fang glared at Fang Jianwei, and his face darkened.
Fang Jianwei immediately opened his mouth without thinking, “Um, people are saying that my mom and Yiyi got into a car accident because of something else. They say that Yiyi made it up and acted on her own, and now the villain is suing Qin Jiatong first… They also say that Yiyi didn’t treat Qin Jiatong and the others as family, and she only want to take revenge on my sister for throwing her into the countryside to grow up…”
“At the same time, they also broadcast some of the small incidents that happened between Yiyi and Jiatong in school…”
Of course, it was all untrue. It was all a smear campaign!
“Dad, Mom, you don’t know. Those people outside are very serious about what they say.”
If he didn’t know the truth of the whole thing, he would have been tricked.
Maybe he would have become one of those people who protested against Yiyi Qin!
Thinking of this, Fang Jianwei felt even more guilty and angry.
He raised his hand and slapped the table beside him.
“Those people are too much. You don’t know, Dad and mom… But fortunately, none of them are here right now…”
Otherwise, if all of them knew about this, they would be very sad.
Grandma Fang was so angry that her eyes were full of fire. “Those people are too much of a bully. Who taught them? I’m going to find her and pull out her teeth!”
These words were the heaviest words that Granny Fang could say!
And that was not all. As Granny Fang spoke, she lifted the thin blanket and got off the bed.
“No, this matter can’t be let go just like that. I have to find Qin Jiatong and ask her about it!”
Fang Jianwei was a person who wanted the world to be in chaos.
In the past, he hated Qin Yiyi. But after that, he was tormented by Qin Yiyi in the open and in the dark.
In addition, he was frightened by Qin Yiyi’s strength.
At first, he didn’t dare to go against Qin Yiyi. But later, he suddenly realized that this girl wasn’t that annoying?!
He hated his niece, Qin Jiatong, who had been badmouthing Qin Yiyi and scheming against him a few times.
When he heard his mother’s words, he slapped the table and stood up.
“Mom, I’ll go with you!” If the girl dared not tell the truth, he would slap her with his big mouth!
