After getting into the car, Old Master Jimo finally looked serious. "What happened?"
He wouldn’t think that Luo Qianqian was really about to cry, but rather that she was just trying to get his attention, to get him to co over.
Jimo Cheng pursed his lips. "Just now, Jin Yue suddenly pulled aside, seemingly wanting to tell sothing, and then from where we left..."
Jimo Kong also saw that bit of debris and knew that the hanging crystal lamp was made of ice crystal. If it had fallen on soone, if not fatal, it would have caused a startling and painful wound!
"Jin Yue..." Jimo Kong frowned and looked towards Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian slightly shook her head, not speaking or explaining, instead, she desperately tried to calm her racing heart. God knows if not for that inexplicable premonition, she wouldn’t have dodged it—if it had fallen on her... She dared not imagine.
Even now, she hadn’t fully recovered from the fright. Luo Qianqian’s mind was still in turmoil, uncertain whether it was an accident or a deliberate sche.
Ever since she learned about the existence of that organization, she felt that so things around her seed very intentional, as if they were ant to make her notice.
Especially this ti, she almost was sure it was that despicable old man’s doing. There were none at the venue she disliked more than that despicable old man.
"Grandpa Kong, who is that old man? Gongyang Chou." Luo Qianqian thought for a mont before asking questioningly, "My sixth sense tells he had sothing to do with what just happened."
Jimo Kong helplessly shook his head. "You don’t need your sixth sense for that. It was him."
Jimo Cheng lowered his head silently, shaking his head slightly with a face full of helplessness.
"Why? Is it because of Grandpa Kong, senior brother, or..." Against her? But she felt that was impossible. She had only t him today; why would she have such a big gripe against soone she had only t once? That didn’t make sense!
"It was ." Jimo Cheng smiled. "Do you rember I told you, other than you, I had other options for marriage partners?"
Luo Qianqian was stunned, then nodded, vaguely rembering sothing of the sort.
"Gongyang Rou was one of them, that person’s granddaughter." Jimo Cheng smiled.
"Born from love turned to hate?" Luo Qianqian imdiately let her imagination run wild, puzzled. "But that doesn’t make sense, doesn’t that person have a relative from the Jimo family called ’Uncle Kong’? Why didn’t he stop it? Isn’t marrying into both families kind of strange? And I think love should be mutual to be best."
"Marrying into the Gongyang family isn’t called marrying in; it is called marrying down." Jimo Kong tugged at the corner of his mouth helplessly. "So from the beginning of this marriage arrangent, that person would belong to the Gongyang family and have nothing to do with the Jimo family anymore."
"Wow..." Luo Qianqian exclaid in surprise, her mouth wide open. "Is their family short on people?"
"No." Jimo Cheng gave a bitter smile. "You’re still young, you wouldn’t understand."
Luo Qianqian pouted. "Just tell , how am I supposed to understand if you don’t say anything?"
"Fortunately, our Luo family doesn’t have these issues." Luo Qianqian giggled, her face relaxed and easy.
Jimo Cheng watched Luo Qianqian with a smile, helplessly.
However, Jimo Kong pursed his lips. "Qianqian, do you know about the dicine Group?"
Luo Qianqian was initially startled, then imdiately shook her head. "What is that? So kind of chain pharmacy?" Her face didn’t show any sign of suspicion.
Jimo Cheng looked toward his grandfather, frowning. "Grandpa!"
Jimo Kong gave a sheepish smile. "It’s nothing... I thought your feeling might be... It’s nothing."
Inside, Luo Qianqian’s mind was in turmoil. The dicine Group? She had only heard Shi Bahao ntion it once, and there was also the information revealed by Han Chen before. Now her mind was completely confused. What was going on?
Thinking of those scar-healing drugs, Luo Qianqian already had so guesses.
She pressed her lips together and did not speak.
Now, strange things were suddenly multiplying around her, and she did not know who to trust.
"Just take back first," Luo Qianqian suddenly spoke as if she had made up her mind, glanced at Jimo Cheng, "I just rembered sothing, I need to return to the dormitory."
Jimo Cheng was briefly stunned, then nodded. After all, they had to pass that way no matter where they were heading.
"Grandpa Kong, I just have a feeling that perhaps Gongyang Chou wasn’t targeting my senior this ti." After getting out of the car, without letting Jimo Cheng see her off, Luo Qianqian’s face was filled with a gentle smile as she spoke to the two n in the car, then she closed the door and quietly watched as the car drove away.
Jimo Kong pondered in the car while Jimo Cheng looked confused, "What does Jin Yuee an?"
"Her aning is... why do kids ask so many questions?" Jimo Kong rolled his eyes, "Just go ho and sleep."
Luo Qianqian did not look at anyone, nor did she care if anyone noticed her as she walked directly to the lakeside, which was deserted during the day and especially so at this hour: "Co out, Shi Bahao."
Shi Bahao looked helpless but thankfully, as soon as he received the ssage, he hurried over, otherwise where would he have appeared from?
"What’s the matter, my dear grand-niece?" Shi Bahao was still nibbling on a bread.
Luo Qianqian turned to him, "Three things. First, is Gongyang Chou a mber of the organization?"
Shi Bahao was completely dumbfounded and wondered why Luo Qianqian was suddenly asking about this person?
But his surprised expression under the moonlight said it all, even though he did not answer, Luo Qianqian had already learned the answer.
"Second, are you part of the liberals or the matrimonial faction?"
Shi Bahao looked even more bewildered, but he quickly caught on, "Ah, you an in the organization? I’m liberal."
Luo Qianqian finally sighed with relief and nodded, "Last thing, take to the organization, but I hope this is kept secret except to those who need to know, I want to remain under confidentiality."
"Ah? So soon?" Shi Bahao seed very surprised, but after a mont, he nodded, "That’s possible, but shouldn’t you tell your family friends first? It probably won’t be a one-day trip..."
After hesitating for a mont, Luo Qianqian replied to Jimo Cheng and then explained to Qin Nuan that she couldn’t return ho, settling on explaining more upon her return and asking her to help stall her family and Jimo Cheng.
Qin Nuan quickly responded to the ssage, not saying much, just advising her to be careful.
"Let’s go." Luo Qianqian turned off her phone without any hesitation.
Shi Bahao nodded, just about to say sothing, his stomach growled...
Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Haven’t you eaten?"
Shi Bahao nodded sowhat embarrassedly.
Luo Qianqian imdiately took out her wallet and handed him a note, "Go and co back quickly."
Shi Bahao hesitated a mont then quickly disappeared, leaving a gust of wind behind him.
Luo Qianqian helplessly shook her head, sat on a bench by the lake, and remained silent, quietly looking at the lake surface, gazing at the moon and its reflection.
It wasn’t long before Shi Bahao returned with a bunch of chicken legs and held two hamburgers in his hands, "Let finish eating, and then I’ll take you."
Saying this, he sat next to Luo Qianqian, who nodded without saying much.
