"No way!" Qiao Yucong exclaimed loudly," "You're really falling for that young lady? Are you planning to fling yourself at her even if it kills you?"
"Wen Yanqing, what's going on? Who's that beautiful girl?" Qiao Yucong could no longer control his gossip-hungry heart!
"Now's not the time to talk about that!"
Wen Yanqing could be one hundred percent certain that some sort of intimate contact had occurred!
But, it hadn't reached the stage of "doing it" yet!
This wasn't the time for gossip; the situation with Young Master Mu had to be managed quickly to prevent it from worsening!
...
Xia Pengpeng stepped out of the hospital and immediately found a place to open the backpack given to her by Ah Chi.
Inside was a phone, the latest popular model that had just been released, complete with a SIM card and fully charged. There was also a stack of cash, about ten thousand yuan by her estimation. The rest were medications prescribed by Wen Yanqing.
Xia Pengpeng picked up the phone and found it only had one number saved.
The name was simply the character "Mu."
She quickly deleted this name and, after thinking for a bit, replaced it with "Thick Thighs."
Then, she dialed Han Jisen's number.
"Uncle Han."
"Pengpeng! Where are you? Why couldn't I reach you all night?" Han Jisen asked anxiously, ready to call the police if he couldn't get through to Xia Pengpeng today!
"I'm fine, sorry Uncle Han, I was so tired last night that I didn't realize my phone was dead," Xia Pengpeng still decided not to tell Han Jisen about Mu Xingye.
"As long as you're alright. Where are you now? I'll come and pick you up," Han Jisen let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm at a friend's place, don't worry about me."
"Have the Xia family been giving you a hard time? Pengpeng, although I don't know why you had to come back, let me tell you, Ji Shaoyang is already Xia Wen's fiancé, he's not worthy of you," Han Jisen assumed Xia Pengpeng had come back because of Xia Wen and Ji Shaoyang's wedding.
He knew how important Ji Shaoyang once was to Pengpeng!
It was Ji Shaoyang who had wronged Pengpeng, even when she was locked in the psychiatric hospital and nearly killed by Song Xuetong!
He had even suspected that everything Pengpeng suffered might have had something to do with Ji Shaoyang!
No matter what, he had to stop Pengpeng from getting close to Ji Shaoyang again!
"Uncle Han, he and I have nothing to do with each other anymore," Xia Pengpeng said in a very calm tone.
If the past five years weren't enough for her to completely let go, there was no need for her to come back!
"It's good that you can see that. Is it convenient for you to stay with your friend? You should stay with me, so I can take care of you," Han Jisen's voice softened a few degrees.
"No need, Uncle Han, I can take care of myself. This is my new phone number; we'll be in touch. I'm hanging up now!"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Pengpeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing Han Jisen's voice had greatly reassured her.
Then, she dialed Tang Jun's number.
Last night, if Tang Jun hadn't risked his own safety and wrecked his car, she wouldn't have been able to escape!
She wondered how Tang Jun was now.
"Hello! Hey, be gentler, gentler, gentler!"
Before Xia Pengpeng could say anything, she heard Tang Jun's voice on the phone.
"Tang Jun, what happened to you?"
"Pengpeng! Is that really you! Where are you now? Are you alright?" Tang Jun sprang up from his bed, completely ignoring his injured right leg.
"I'm fine, where are you right now?"
"I'm... I'm at home now! Where are you? I'll come and pick you up."
