Chapter 33 - She’s Got More Than Just You in Her Pond!

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 She's Got More Than Just You in Her Pond!

Outside, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded, the rain becoming heavier and heavier.

Ji Qilin looked at Ji Tian's hand, and since it was dark, she hadn't mentioned it earlier, but it was only now that he noticed her injuries. He then went to fetch his medical kit to tend to her wounds.

Meanwhile, Ji Weinan was shocked by Ji Tian's words for almost a minute.

He couldn't understand. He was friends with Shen Zhiyi, so why would Ji Tian obstruct him, even to the extent of saying that from now on she wouldn't consider herself his sister anymore? He hadn't meddled in her affairs at all.

Ji Weinan thought long and hard, and then it finally dawned on him, looking at Ji Tian with changed eyes, "Ji Tian, is it because Zhiyi scored first in the grade, and you envy and resent her that you don't want to see her, speaking so pointedly against her? I am truly disappointed in you."

Ji Tian: "..."

Was she envious of the long hours Zhiyi spent studying from dawn till dusk, or was she jealous of the mere 258 yuan in spare cash in Zhiyi's pocket?

She looked at Ji Weinan strangely, no wonder he was the silly optimist from the novels, duped to the point of losing even his shorts. She decided to change the subject: "First of all, whether she ranks first or not is none of my business, secondly, Shen Zhiyi and Bai Tingyu are very close, and finally, I hope you don't fall too deeply and can't pull yourself out."

Ji Weinan still didn't understand, "What are you talking about... I don't need you meddling in my affairs with Shen Zhiyi."

"Do you think you're the only fish in her pond?! You're just one of her spare tires!"

Ji Weinan was shocked; his little sister had gone from jealousy to slandering others. He stepped back, eyes filled with pain, "How could you turn out like this, blindly jealous of others, and in the end trying to smear her reputation? I can see what kind of person she is, Ji Tian, I really don't understand why you would behave this way."

Ji Tian: "..."

She had tried her best.

Ji Weinan kept running further down the road of a lovestruck fool.

She turned her head away in anger, "If you don't understand, then I don't bother with you. Do whatever you like."

Ji Weinan stood dumbfounded as he watched her walk away, and then finally reacted, jumping with anger, "I am your brother!"

However, Ji Tian didn't respond to him at all.

But she had gotten through to him with her final words; he just found it hard to believe that Shen Zhiyi would consider him a spare tire. Besides, Shen Zhiyi had said before that she really disliked Bai Tingyu.

Ji Tian must have been too idle to meddle so much.

Ji Weinan took out his phone, thought for a moment, and still decided to call Father Ji and Mrs. Ji.

Ji Qilin had finished wrapping a gauze around Ji Tian's wrist, speaking in a gentle voice, "Don't let the wound get wet these next few days; it could get infected. Remember to change the dressing on time."

"Mhm, mhm."

Ji Tian sat on her pink princess bed, her black hair soft, her little face fair, sitting obediently and looking soft and cute.

Ji Qilin's eyes softened, "Why don't you come to my lab for a while? That way I can change your dressing."

Ji Tian shook her head; she wasn't concerned about such a minor injury. Ji Qilin raised his hand and tousled her hair, smiling, "Then I'll call you tomorrow to remind you, Tiantian, go to sleep early."

He stood up straight, packed up his medical kit, and left.

Ji Tian was originally an orphan. It was the first time she felt familial affection from her family. The Ji Tian in the book was truly happy, with loving parents and three brothers protecting her.

"Second Brother," she called out to him. Ji Qilin turned around, the light reflecting off his gold-rimmed glasses. He spoke with a gentle voice, "Hmm? Does your hand still hurt?"

Ji Tian felt warmth in her heart and raised a smile, "It doesn't hurt, thank you, Second Brother."

Ji Qilin thought Ji Tian had something else to say but didn't expect just a thank you. He slightly curved his narrow eyes, "You're welcome."

After Ji Qilin left, Ji Tian walked over to the window. The pouring rain showed no sign of stopping, and she realized she hadn't added Qin Jiangsheng's contact to her phone. Considering his strong wariness, as if everyone was out to harm him, it was tough. But after her relentless 'nagging', he finally was not as resistant to her approach as before.

Ji Tian lay in bed. The rain from last night had continued until this morning before stopping. The sky outside looked gloomy. Since it was Saturday, she could sleep in. She slept until nine and slowly got out of bed to have breakfast downstairs.

Ji Weinan had left early in the morning again. As for his immutable nature, Ji Tian was somewhat numb to it. The plot was more difficult than she had imagined, and she needed to step up her efforts to intervene.

"The young lady, the Bai Family has sent someone."

Aunt Wang came in from outside and reported.

Ji Tian frowned slightly, "What does the Bai Family want?"

Aunt Wang respectfully said, "After yesterday's interrogation of those three kidnappers, all the blame lies with the Second Young Master Bai. The Bai Family wants to give you justice, so they're asking you to come over. Will you go?"

Ji Tian stood up abruptly, her expression darkened, "I'll go and see."

Just then, she bumped into Ji Qilin, who hadn't yet left the house. She grabbed him and headed outside, "Second Brother, come with me to the Bai Family."

"Take it easy, I'll go with you."

Despite his words, Ji Tian didn't slow down.

A luxury car was parked outside the white wrought-iron gate, with the Bai Family butler standing at the entrance, ready to take Ji Tian to "watch the show."

Ji Tian got into her family's car. In less than five minutes, they arrived at the front gate of the Bai Family residence. The ground was still wet, and garden leaves dripped with water. The luxurious gate was wide open, and a slender figure of a young boy was kneeling on the ground, his white t-shirt soaked through, revealing vivid red bloodstains.

Hearing the noise, Qin Jiangsheng looked back and saw Ji Tian. She was wearing a white dress today, with a fiery red thin knit cardigan over it. She naturally looked clever and clean, now adding an indescribable brightness.

Very pretty, seemingly more so than any other girl he had seen.

Ji Tian's eyes widened, reflecting the wretched state of Qin Jiangsheng. His wet black hair clumped together, his face showing a sickly pallor, with faint blushes on his cheeks from being beaten, traces of blood mingling with the rainwater forming a pool at his feet.

At the head sat a middle-aged man who was not smiling, his gaze towards Qin Jiangsheng filled with disgust, while Bai Tingyu sat beside the middle-aged man, looking indifferent with a mocking glint in his eyes.

Ji Tian slowly walked up to Qin Jiangsheng, looked at Bai Family Patriarch Bai Yan Zhang and Bai Tingyu, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Bai Yan Zhang snorted coldly, exuding the demeanour of a superior. He looked down on Qin Jiangsheng as if he was an unclean nuisance, "The police said that the kidnappers used him to threaten you into that car, which led to the fright of the Princess.

You are a pearl, he is mere rubble. His death is insignificant. He should have shielded you with his life. Therefore, I've just exercised family discipline, a slight punishment. I wonder, Princess, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

Ji Tian had thought such things only happened in ancient times, but Bai Yan Zhang's actions showed her that people with power and influence still regard human life as disposable.

This included Qin Jiangsheng, his own son.
