Shi Qian’s obsidian-like eyes rolled around. She asked, “By the way, what’s the situation with Jiang Chen recently?”

“Something happened to him in M Nation,” Jiang Ci replied. “He probably won’t be back for the time being.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Shi Qian nodded in understanding.

It seemed that Jiang Ci had already received the news.

Shi Qian orchestrated Jiang Chen’s accident to save Jiang Ci. But she didn’t plan to tell him about it.

She didn’t want him to worry for nothing, nor did she want to hear him say thank you.

Xu Ziyao sent the girl back to Imperial University after lunch.

Later, he met Jiang Ci, who had sent Shi Qian back, at the Imperial Gate.

This time, Jiang Ci quickly got out of the car and strode to the front passenger seat to open the door.

Shi Qian unbuckled her seatbelt, and the car door opened. She then got out of the car.

“Be careful on the road.”

“Okay. Take care.”

Shi Qian turned around and walked towards the school.

She inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xu Ziyao standing by the roadside.

Shi Qian noticed that she was following them, but she ignored her when she and Jiang Ci left Imperial University to go to the food street.

She withdrew her gaze indifferently and walked into the school.

Xu Ziyao had a proud personality. She wouldn’t talk to Shi Qian even if she knew that she was friends with Jiang Ci.

She would ignore Shi Qian if in case the latter greeted her.

Xu Ziyao saw that Jiang Ci had seen her but ignored her, so she said, “Jiang Ci.”

Jiang Ci didn’t stop. He walked around the front of the car and continued to walk toward the driver’s seat.

Xu Ziyao immediately went forward and held the car door that was about to open.

Jiang Ci frowned and lowered his eyes. He didn’t even look at her. He said impatiently, “Let go.”

Jiang Ci wasn’t happy. Xu Ziyao immediately withdrew her hand and slowly said, “I don’t mean anything else. I just wanted to tell you that something happened to Jiang Chen in Country M. Some of the things he did are under investigation. He couldn’t come back for the time being.”

Jiang Ci paused for a few seconds. Finally, he looked up at Xu Ziyao. “What does this have to do with you?”

“I… I just want to help you.”

“No need! Don’t ever follow me again. You’d better not interfere in my business,” Jiang Ci said coldly after a pause.

Xu Ziyao was a little hurt by the man’s indifference, but she still refused to give up. “Jiang Ci, I don’t need anything in return. Just let me help you.”

“I said I don’t need it.”

“You like that girl just now!” Xu Ziyao asked.

Jiang Ci’s face darkened. He stared at her and said coldly, “Xu Ziyao, don’t think you can get through me just because you helped me get some information. I’m warning you, stay away from me!”

Jiang Ci was about to open the car door when he saw Shi Qian return.

His gloomy expression immediately recovered. He looked at Shi Qian. He said, “Why are you back?”

Even his voice was gentle.

Xu Ziyao felt a dull pain in her heart.

Shi Qian immediately opened the door of the passenger seat and took out her phone. She said calmly, “I dropped my phone. Eyes on the road. Bye.”

She turned around and left.

Xu Ziyao’s face turned red and white.

This woman must have heard Jiang Ci’s heartless words just now.

She must be feeling very proud.

However, Xu Ziyao only felt awkward for a moment before she quickly regained her composure.

She would never lower herself to compete with such a useless woman of low status as the daughter of a wealthy family.

This kind of woman was not worthy of her eyes at all.
