If it weren’t for Qiao Xi’s help, Shen Hanxing wouldn’t have been able to reach the private room in time. She could not know what would happen to Ji Qian and Zhuang Yu. She said gratefully, “If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what bad things would have happened to the kids.”

Qiao XI subconsciously felt a little envious of the “kids” Shen Hanxing had mentioned. She said shyly. “No, no, I didn’t do anything… Mrs. Ji, please don’t thank me.”

Shen Hanxing shook her head. “You are smart and kind. I’m grateful that you helped me.” She had decisively helped Qiao XI resign because of this matter, and she silenced everyone in Jin Hai. No one was allowed to reveal the information about Ji Qian and Zhuang Yu’s private room. She didn’t know who had ordered the man in the flowery shirt to do those things to Zhuang Yu and Ji Qian, nor did she know Jin Hai’s boss’s side. If she had just left today, it would have been fine. But standing up for Qiao Xi would expose Qiao Xi had pointed the way for her.

Shen Hanxing was afraid her act would affect Qiao Xi.

Qiao XI’s face flushed red from Shen Hanxing’s continuous affirmation and praise. She subconsciously wanted to deny herself but met Shen Hanxing’s sincere eyes. Mrs. Ji was complimenting her, not being polite.

That thought arose in Qiao Xi’s heart. Her cheeks blushed more, and the tip of her tongue seemed to be able to feel some sweetness. She smiled as she thought, “Mrs. Ji is complimenting me. Am I that good? I am good.”

Ji Qian saw Shen Hanxing’s figure in the silver sedan across the road. She jumped out of the car twice and waved her hand with great effort.

“Where do you live? I’ll send you back home,” Shen Hanxing saw Ji Qian’s actions and smiled. Then, she turned around and asked Qiaoxi.

“No, it’s okay,” Qiao Xi quickly shook her head. “I rode my bike here by myself. I can go back by myself.” She looked flustered. Shen Hanxing found it hard to imagine how Qiao Xi had developed such a timid and humble character. Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Shen Hanxing did not force her. After asking her for her address, they parted ways.

After Shen Hanxing got into the car, Ji Qian could not help but ask, “Sister-in-law, who was that just now? Why didn’t she come with us?” Ji Qian felt a little jealous. She had already seen it. Her sister-in-law smiled gently at that girl, and she had even talked to that girl for a long time. Ji Qian did not know where this little demon came from, wanting to snatch her sister-in-law away from her again. It’s tolerable for her brother to snatch her sister-in-law away from her. But it annoyed her when her younger brothers and sisters in the family also did the same. Then, there were Han Yin and the others. Now, a strange girl had appeared. Ji Qian wondered why so many people wanted to snatch her sister-in-law away from her.

“She’s a waitress from Jin Hai. She was the one who pointed the way for me to find you in time,” Shen Hanxing fastened her seatbelt and looked at Zhuang Yu. “Miss Zhuang, are you feeling better? Do you mind if I send you back to the Zhuang family’s house first?”

Zhuang Yu nodded in embarrassment because of what she had done. “I’m sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Ji.”.

“It’s no big deal.” Shen Hanxing’s eyes were clear. Her previous attitude was harsh because Zhuang Yu had already embarked on the path of getting her power. If she were too naive, she would only harm herself and the people around her. Now that Zhuang Yu had thought it through, she would not have any ill feelings toward Zhuang Yu.

Seeing Shen Hanxing’s gentle attitude, Zhuang Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She could not help but feel like crying. She bit her lip and did not say anything. Ji Qian casually wrapped her arms around Zhuang Yu’s neck. She smiled and said, “See, I told you my sister-in-law would not be angry with you, right? There is nothing to be afraid of.”

Zhuang Yu smiled embarrassedly and raised her hand to tickle Ji Qian. “What are you talking about? I’m not afraid!” The two young girls tickled each other in the backseat.

Shen Hanxing smiled. She shook her head and reminded them, “Be careful. Let’s go.” With that, she skillfully started the car engine. The silver-gray car headed to its destination.

On the highway, the traffic was heavy. The bright headlights lit up the road, making the night sky look darker. Just as Shen Hanxing made a turn, a blinding light suddenly lit up! A huge black shadow rushed towards their car like a ferocious beast!

It was a huge truck. The trunk was tall and was two to three times the size of Shen Hanxing’s car. As Ji Qian and Zhuang Yu screamed, the huge truck crashed into theirs.

Under the dazzling headlights, one could only see the tense figure of the driver in the opposite car. One could not see his expression.
