My Wealthy Ex-Girlfriend Knelt and Begged Me to Come Back [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 55.1
“I’ll go too,” Ji Chen’s voice was firm.
The group got into the police car.
The young female officer said coldly, “Come in and give your statement.”
Qiu Miaoran followed her in. The room had four clean white walls, and the light from the fluorescent lamp was a bit harsh.
Qiu Miaoran pulled out a chair and sat down.
A few minutes later, someone walked in and placed a plastic paper cup in front of her. The tea in the cup emitted a faint mist.
The two people who walked in were both middle-aged, wearing police uniforms. As they looked at Qiu Miaoran, they saw that her forehead was covered with bloodstains, and her cuffs and collar were soaked in blood. Even sitting on the hard stool, her back was still straight, her posture like a pine tree.
The person who came in to question her lightly smacked his lips, “It’s actually CEO Qiu…”
Qiu Miaoran looked up at the two officers sitting down in front of the desk lamp and greeted them faintly: “Officer Zhang, Officer Wang…”
Officer Zhang nodded slightly, “Long time no see.”
Officer Wang couldn’t help but laugh; “How did CEO Qiu get hurt this time?”
Footsteps were heard at the door.
The young female officer walked in, holding a white towel, “Officer Wang, what do you need this for?”
Officer Wang pointed a straight index finger in Qiu Miaoran’s direction, “Give it to her.”
The young female officer frowned slightly, secretly surprised.
Why did this person who was fighting get such special treatment? Tea and a towel?
The person had a high nose bridge and deep eyes. Even in such a battered state, being summoned to the police station, there was no trace of panic. There was a kind of inexplicable nobility about her.
The young female officer suppressed her doubts and handed over the towel.
“No need,” Qiu Miaoran slightly turned her head and raised her hand to refuse, “I’ll go to the hospital later.”
The young female officer curled her lips, lightly “tsk”ed, and turned to leave. As a fan of Yuyu’s career, she had instantly seen through this woman. Not even wiping the blood off her face—she must be an attention seeker, trying to get Yuyu’s notice!!
It was evident that the middle-aged high-level officers at the police station also knew Qiu Miaoran.
Long ago, Qiu Miaoran had been deeply troubled by the cause of her parents’ car accident. When she was young, she frequently visited the police station. Every morning, little Qiu Miaoran would squat pitifully at the police station, asking about the progress of the case. The older officers who were present at the time all knew her. In the end, it was only discovered to be an accident, caused by the truck driver’s drunk driving that day… Qiu Miaoran was unwilling to accept it, but as time passed, that unwillingness also faded.
Later, before the former director of Shenglidichan was arrested for suspected embezzlement of public funds, Qiu’s financial company provided personal financial accounts and research on the former director’s cash flow, fully supporting the police in solving the case. Only then did the former director of Shenglidichan allegedly commit suicide out of fear of the crime.
As a bloodline of the Qiu family in Jing City, Qiu Miaoran had distant relatives in politics and helped the police solve several economic cases, earning merit. If it weren’t for the need for confidentiality, the police stations within Jing City’s jurisdiction would have almost sent a banner to the CEO’s office of Qiushui Venture Capital.
“He was the one who started it.” Qiu Miaoran frowned slightly, emphasizing.
“There’s road surveillance there. We just checked the footage, and it indeed shows that man started the fight.” Officer Wang continued to ask her,
“CEO Qiu wants to sue him for provoking trouble?”
“Find him, please help me find him,” Qiu Miaoran replied, “The rest of the matter, we’ll talk about later…”
She had to find out—who was the curly-haired paparazzi, who took Ji Jiayu’s “dirt” and refused to sell it to her, planning to sell it to for a high price?
In the police station lobby, Ji Jiayu was sitting in a chair, waiting. Her hands were on her knees, and her legs were close together, sitting very primly.
Ji Chen sat next to her.
They sat side by side, but both were silent.
It was evident that this was the first time either of them had been to a police station, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward…
“Would you like some tea?” The young female officer brought two disposable paper cups containing tea and gently placed them on the low table in front of the two.
“The tea at our bureau tastes better than at other bureaus~”
—The ending sound of that “oh” was slightly rising, sounding a bit cute.
Ji Jiayu was a bit thirsty. She picked up the paper cup with both hands, blew on the tea, and took a shallow sip.
It seemed to be no different from ordinary Longjing tea?
She looked at the tea leaves bobbing up and down in the water, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. Her light chestnut eyes were very clear. Looking at the female officer, she was a bit curious.
“Why does it taste better than the tea at other bureaus?”
The young female officer: “…” That’s because it’s full of Mama’s love for you!
“It’s because the water quality in our area is good~”
The young female officer pursed her lips, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth. Her eyes were also filled with the benevolent love of a mother fan, but she could only forcibly maintain the composure of a law enforcement officer, saying very formally,
“Honestly… this is the first time I’ve met a female celebrity here.”
Ji Jiayu laughed softly and asked playfully, “Then have you met a male celebrity?”
“Yes…” The young female officer closed her eyes and thought for a moment, “There were people who did drugs, people who solicited prostitution, and people who had group activities…”
—Fortunately, there was still little sister Yu, and other quality artists… Otherwise, these scum would ruin the mainland entertainment industry~
The young female officer’s lips curved upward as she spoke, secretly observing Ji Jiayu. Seeing her idol up close like this,
Ah, this… her skin is too good, isn’t it?
Those big eyes, like they’re cheating, as bright as a cat’s pupils… Wuwuwu… Little Yu Mama loves you even more… Muah (づ ̄3 ̄)づ
Taking advantage of her position, the young female officer quietly mixed in some personal matters, leaning closer and lowering her voice to ask,
“Can I ask, who is this lady next to you… to you?”
“You and the person inside seem to know each other?”
The young female officer was afraid that the online rumors about Ji Jiayu getting back together with the wealthy scum CEO were true.
She was afraid that her little Yu would be snatched away.
Ji Jiayu hesitated for a moment…
“The person inside and she are friends, and I and the person inside…” Ji Chen replied without hesitation, straight to the point, “We are all friends of Miss Ji.”
“The person inside is indeed my ex-girlfriend, but now we are just ordinary friends,” the tension in Ji Jiayu’s heart instantly melted away. She patiently explained, telling a small lie for Qiu Miaoran, for Ji Chen, and for herself,
“We were just out to dinner together and got into an argument with someone. Don’t misunderstand oh…”
The young female officer nodded hard, a look of motherly fan relief on her face.
—Aahhh… Little sister Yu is great, candid about love and non-love! Don’t mind those women, Yu Yu must be beautiful on her own~~
More than ten minutes later, Qiu Miaoran came out from inside. The blood on her head seemed to have clotted a little, and the large bloodstain on her forehead was almost dry. Her face was still pale, giving her a sickly beautiful look.
“Aunt, you take Jiayu back first,” Qiu Miaoran coughed lightly, her dark, thick eyelashes lowered, half-hiding her phoenix eyes.
“I have to go to the hospital, so I won’t see you off.”
She walked alone toward the main entrance of the police station, her back looking a bit lonely.
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Qiu Miaoran slightly turned her head, her long eyelashes fluttering, and her voice was indifferent, “What is it?”
Ji Jiayu grabbed her wrist, “We’ll go to the hospital with you.”
Ji Chen followed from behind, countering her question,
“It’s so late. Letting you go to the hospital alone… Am I, as an aunt, really that incompetent?”
So, the three of them took a taxi to the hospital.
At this moment, after Qiu Miaoran’s wound was cleaned of glass shards, she was given an anesthetic, stitched up, and given a simple examination. Fortunately, she didn’t have a concussion…
She sat upright on the edge of the hospital bed, a white bandage diagonally wrapped around the side of her head. Her dark hair cascaded down to her shoulders, and her profile had a sickly pallor.
Currently, there were only Qiu Miaoran and Ji Chen in this VIP ward that was temporarily being used.
“Aunt,” Qiu Miaoran sat on the edge of the bed, her face slightly tilted up, her dark phoenix eyes fixed on Ji Chen not far away, “There are some things I want to talk to you about…”
“Hmm, about the Rentai Medical Project?” Ji Chen smiled, her voice gentle and warm. She held a paper cup in one hand.
“It’s very late today, and you’re injured. Rest well. It’s not too late to talk later.”
“It’s not about work, but something else. Perhaps you’ve already noticed…” Qiu Miaoran shook her head, pondered for a moment with her eyes lowered, and then spoke,
“I have never had the thought of giving up on Jiayu.”
Based on Ji Jiayu’s behavior towards Qiu Miaoran, Ji Jiayu was merely showing the concern one would show a friend. Anyone who suffered such an injury, Ji Jiayu would accompany them to the hospital. From start to finish, the young girl showed no abnormal expressions of distress or emotion…
—A typical case of ‘the gentleman has feelings, but the lady has no intention.’
“I did notice,” the smile on Ji Chen’s lips gradually faded. She took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
“But she doesn’t seem to be interested in you…”
“But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to pursue her, starting as friends.”
Qiu Miaoran quietly gritted her teeth, her slender fingers pressed against her knees, the joints slowly clenching with effort.
“So my point is… we are on equal footing, like competing products. You don’t have to consider my feelings.”
Co-m-peting products?
Was Qiu Miaoran truly just superficially injured? Was her brain smashed too?!
“Cough, cough…” Ji Chen had been drinking water. Hearing this statement, she was almost choked and coughed violently several times, “Stop right there…”
Ji Chen could also feel that Ji Jiayu never seemed to have liked her either, right?
This was very clear. Ji Jiayu’s reliance on her was only similar to “imprinting.” This was not about love, and not about desire.
—If it wasn’t exposed, if it wasn’t said out loud, Ji Jiayu would never be repulsed by her, or reject her because of an impulsive confession. Or, if she confessed and Ji Jiayu actually agreed to be together, once the so-called passion faded, Ji Jiayu would also distance herself from her…
Before Ji Jiayu clearly showed affection, she would protect her little Yu.
As long as they maintained their current relationship, she could always stay by little Yu’s side.
At least the feelings between them would never change.
Even if this affection had nothing to do with wind and moon.
However, the thought of Ji Jiayu lying in someone else’s room, having her clothes stripped off, her white body exposed to the air, her slender waist gradually tensing up, obediently allowing someone else to do as they pleased… that scene, even just thinking about it, made her heart palpitate…
“Cough, cough…” Ji Chen clutched her chest with one hand. The paper cup in her hand was squeezed out of shape. Water overflowed from the rim, wetting her knuckles and dropping onto the floor, staining the tiles.
“What’s wrong… Aunt, are you choked?”
Ji Chen caught her breath, the corners of her eyes slightly curved, her smile as warm as her voice, “I’m fine…”
“I just don’t quite understand what you mean.”
