Ji Xingmi and Ye Yu stayed at the sanatorium for more than half a month. Although Ye Yu still had some residual toxins in his body that hadn't been expelled, his condition had greatly improved. Elder Bi also couldn't bear to have his youngest granddaughter confined to the small, enclosed space of the sanatorium. He allowed her and Ye Yu to go out and play with their bodyguards.
Ye Yu had not been feeling well before and rarely went out. Now that he was better, he naturally wanted to see the outside world. These two, unfamiliar with the capital, didn't know where to go. Fortunately, Elder Bi understood his granddaughter's preferences and had his bodyguards take them to Wo Ya Ju for a meal.
When Ye Yu and Ji Xingmi arrived, it was mealtime. They didn't order too much, just three dishes. While waiting for their food, they played Five in a Row in the private room.
Hahaha. The private room was equipped with Go boards. Ye Yu knew a little, but Ji Xingmi knew nothing at all. To pass the time, Ji Xingmi taught Ye Yu how to play Five in a Row.
In the beginning, Ji Xingmi always won. Gradually, Ye Yu found a pattern and started to turn the tables. Just as they were locked in a close match, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
The noise grew louder and louder. The voices that were once distant seemed to be getting closer and closer! Just as they were about to go and see what was happening, the private room door was suddenly pushed open. Startled by the noise, they froze in place. The door was opened, but the person was blocked by a bodyguard, who prevented her from entering.
"What's going on? Who are you?" Ye Yu frowned, seeing someone push the door open. Weren't they told that Wo Ya Ju was a quiet place, undisturbed by others? What was happening today?
At the door stood a young girl, followed by two middle-aged women. The two older women not only didn't stop her but also walked behind her, chatting and laughing. Were they traveling companions or just there to watch the show?
Ji Xingmi was taken aback by the scene.
"I'm looking for someone. Let me in!" the girl said stubbornly. She tried to barge in to see who was inside, but the bodyguard blocked her, and she couldn't get in, constantly craning her neck to peek.
"The person you're looking for isn't here. Go look somewhere else!" Ye Yu had a bad impression of this woman, but he didn't want to draw attention. He simply told her to find someone elsewhere.
Anyone else would have been embarrassed, apologized, and admitted they had the wrong place. But this woman was unreasonably stubborn and insisted on entering to search! At this point, even Ji Xingmi frowned. She had never encountered such a shameless person.
"Uncle Zhang, throw her out!" Ye Yu, thoroughly annoyed, directly ordered someone to drag her away. What kind of people were these!
The bodyguard, hearing Ye Yu's command, prepared to escort the woman away. Seeing this, the girl started throwing a tantrum at the door, her voice as loud as it could be. One of the women following behind her, seeing this scene, seemed to realize something and her expression changed slightly.
Ye Yu had never encountered such a person and didn't know how to handle the situation. Uncle Zhang was also at a loss due to the girl's shameless behavior.
During this brief moment of hesitation, the commotion here attracted the attention of other diners. They all came out to watch. As the crowd grew, so did the murmurs.
Gu Jingyi happened to be dining with his aunt and her friends there that day. He had heard the commotion at first but didn't go out. Later, as the noise grew louder, the voice sounded somewhat familiar, and a thought struck him, darkening his expression.
Just as he was about to go out to see if his suspicions were correct, the situation had already escalated!
By the time he and his aunt came out to investigate, they saw his mother and his eldest aunt standing in the crowd, watching the girl making a scene. The girl was none other than Qi Wenjing, who was staying at his house. His face turned completely dark! Just as he was about to step forward to stop her, he saw Ji Xingmi emerge.
Why was she here? Had she come to the capital? Why hadn't she told him she was coming to the capital? Seeing the person next to her, he recognized him as Elder Ye's youngest grandson after a closer look. Why were they together?
Another person had the same thought. Having heard the commotion and coming out to investigate with a friend, he saw Ji Xingmi emerge from inside and froze on the spot. Just as his friend was about to ask him what was wrong, he heard him murmur, "Why is she here?"
