Chapter 1193 - Regret
Chapter 1193: Regret
Ji Ya halted briefly before entering her parents’ room. Dozens of pictures were scattered on the ground. She bent over and extended her hand to pick them up, but Song Qi’s voice suddenly came from the door.
“Ya!”
Ji Ya was startled. She automatically stood up and looked at her mother standing at the door.
Song Qi hurriedly walked over. She pulled Ji Ya to the door before standing in front of Ji Ya so that she could not look inside the room. She looked straight into Ji Ya’s eyes and asked. “When did you come over?”
“Just now.” Ji Ya looked at her mother quizzically. She glanced sideways behind Song Qi. “What are those pictures?”
Since Ji Ya looked normal, Song Qi knew that Ji Ya had yet to see the photos. She felt slightly relieved. “Nothing. Why did you come to my room?”
Ji Ya went quiet briefly before asking. “Did you get into a fight with Dad?”
Song Qi veered her eyes and replied. “Stay out of it. Just go back to your room.”
“Is Dad gone?” asked Ji Ya.
Although Song Qi’s mind was in chaos, she did not throw a temper. Instead, she nodded. She simply wanted her daughter to leave this place right now. “Doesn’t this happen every time we get into a fight? Just give us a few days. Everything will be fine. I am exhausted, so I really want to rest.”
Ji Ya looked at Song Qi worriedly. Her lips parted hesitantly. Just as she was about to speak, she changed her mind. “Okay then. Have an early night. Good night.”
Song Qi nodded. After Ji Ya had left, she closed the door and stood leaning against the door for two minutes. She inhaled deeply before walking toward the photos.
Song Qi looked at the pile of pictures on the ground. She slumped onto the ground powerlessly with her face bereft of color.
If she knew these photos were in the package, she would never have told Ji Kaiyang to open it.
Ji Kaiyang was a perfectionist, so he would probably divorce her soon.
Song Qi’s hands trembled as she picked up each picture. A look of self-ridicule emerged in her eyes. She found herself another man because Ji Kaiyang kept thinking about Song Ning.
If anyone was at fault, it was her older sister. Despite being driven out of the Song family, Song Ning continued to obstruct Song Qi’s path.
Song Qi tightened her grip on the photos. She hated Song Ning with all her heart. After some time, she finally suppressed the repugnance she had for Song Ning. She turned to look at the parcel placed nearby. She got up and walked over to retrieve it.
There were no details about the sender on it.
Song Qi looked annoyed. A piece of paper with a message fell from the parcel. She narrowed her eyes and picked it up.
It read: ‘An eye for an eye. Did you like my gift?’
Now that Song Qi had seen the note, she would be an idiot if she did not know who the sender was.
Song Qi had sent Huo Yao those damning photos of Song Ning previously. Was she doing this to get back at her using the same trick?
Song Qi was furious, but she was quickly filled with remorse.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the stack of photos in her hands. If she had not sent Huo Yao those pictures of Song Ning, perhaps this would never have happened.
Song Qi stumbled powerlessly. She did not want to think about it any further. The more she thought, the more she regretted it.

Huo Yao went to Liu Qian’s office the next day at 9:00 am sharp.
Dai Jie and the others were already there. When Huo Yao entered the office, they were doing their utmost to encourage each other. Her cheeks twitched the moment she saw this scene.
She looked at them and said, “Aren’t we just going to the National Research Institute of Science and Technology? Do all of you have to be so nervous?”
