Chapter 1088: Chapter 1088: Mediating Peace
Song Wenjun was momentarily stunned, yes...
She had forgotten that it was Jiangli who first mentioned Su Zitong’s name.
She just thought that Jiangli hadn’t said anything useful, and since Su Zitong was Little Caihong’s classmate, it wouldn’t be appropriate to suddenly seek her out.
Moreover, Jiangli hadn’t said anything useful, who knows if she’s lying, deliberately exaggerating the facts?
With that thought, Song Wenjun’s mind had already pigeonholed Jiangli.
Wei Qingran was also aware, "I know, Teacher Song isn’t familiar with me, nor does she trust the people I recommend, that’s very normal. But in matters like this, it’s better to be safe than sorry, and for Little Caihong’s sake, caution is warranted."
Song Wenjun understood clearly; Wei Qingran was speaking truthfully.
Even if it was just for Little Caihong’s sake, she should remain calm, better safe than sorry, she should at least give it a try.
But now it seemed too late to say anything.
Song Wenjun couldn’t help but ask for help, "Maybe I was a bit ambiguous in my words, but what should we do now, Qingran?"
Wei Qingran frowned slightly; of course, she didn’t want anything from Song Wenjun’s side to go wrong and affect the filming.
Besides, she had already brought Jiangli over, and if the Abbot washed his hands of it and something really happened, if Song Wenjun held her responsible, filming would be even more problematic.
Thinking of this, Wei Qingran took out her phone, "I’ll contact the Abbot, ask where they are, and go have a talk with them."
Song Wenjun quickly said, "Then I’ll trouble you, Qingran."
Wei Qingran nodded slightly, took her phone, and walked out.
When Wei Qingran messaged Xia Xin, Xia Xin was already following behind Jiangli, leaving the inpatient department to find a restaurant outside.
Both of them, though in J City for the first time, found numerous restaurants near the hospital.
Jiangli and Xia Xin quickly settled on a restaurant and were about to enter when they received a call from Wei Qingran.
Before calling, Wei Qingran had sent Xia Xin numerous messages.
Xia Xin glanced at Jiangli’s expression, not daring to speak.
It wasn’t until she saw Wei Qingran’s call that Xia Xin cautiously spoke, "Ancestor, Sister Qingran is calling again. It might be about Teacher Song’s matter. Should I answer this call?"
Xia Xin’s words were probing.
If the Ancestor didn’t want her to take Wei Qingran’s calls, it would likely mean he was still upset.
But if he allowed her to answer, then it would be different.
However, after hearing Xia Xin’s words, Jiangli didn’t immediately respond and instead stepped into the restaurant.
Xia Xin felt a bit disheartened, listened to the phone ringing continuously, and pursued her inside, hoping to speak for Wei Qingran.
But as soon as he entered, he heard Jiangli say, "Answer it."
Xia Xin immediately brightened up, "I-I’ll answer it right away!"
He hurriedly answered the phone.
"Hello, Sister Qingran—" Xia Xin, holding the phone, followed behind Jiangli, talking as she walked.
Wei Qingran’s voice came from the other side, a bit tense, "Why did you only answer now? Is the Abbot still upset?"
Xia Xin glanced at Jiangli ahead, leaned his head to speak softly, "Let’s not mention the Abbot, Sister Qingran. Honestly, I’m a bit upset too. Could our Abbot be a fraud? Jiaoyang Temple has always conducted itself honestly, never cheated anyone, Sister Qingran, you know this. The tasks our Abbot takes are from big bosses, and those seeking our Abbot’s help are wealthy people. If we wanted to cheat, would we have waited until now?"
Wei Qingran naturally knew these things, and echoed, "I know, the Abbot definitely isn’t a fraud. Teacher Song didn’t mean it that way. She just feared that suddenly approaching Su Zitong might upset her parents."
