Chapter 1081: Yu Yao’s Heart Hurts, Overtaking Fourth Senior Brother (1)

Yu Yao paused for a moment, unable to grasp the meaning of the words immediately. “Wh-What?” he stammered.

“It’s not Ji Qingwei,” the middle-aged man sighed. “Young Master Yu, you have mistaken the person.”

It felt as if a great hammer had struck him on the head, leaving his mind blank. His face turned ashen, and he shouted in anger, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

It was precisely because of that kidnapping incident that Ji Qingwei had dragged him out, allowing him to escape.

This had been his last remaining pillar of self-comfort.

Now someone was telling him it wasn’t true?!

“I’m not talking nonsense. The one who truly saved you was Miss Qingyao from the Ji family.” The middle-aged man’s expression was calm. “Young Master Yu, have you never considered that Ji Qingwei is a few years younger than you? How could a five-year-old child possibly save you?”

Yu Yao pressed his lips together, his complexion growing even paler.

He had indeed pondered this question, but the Ji Longtai couple had insisted that it was Ji Qingwei who saved him.

More importantly, Ji Qingwei’s health had deteriorated during that time.

In the past, Ji Qingwei had been fragile and beautiful; he had never doubted her.

The middle-aged man continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ji Longtai yourself and see if they are lying.”

Yu Yao clenched his fists and rushed back to the hospital room.

The Ji Longtai couple was still immersed in the profound sorrow of being used by Ji Qingwei, with Mrs. Ji continually cursing Ji Qingwei as a thankless wolf.

Seeing Yu Yao suddenly return, the couple was startled.

Yu Yao’s eyes were bloodshot. “Who really saved me back then? Tell me!”

Madam Ji met his gaze, flinching slightly, and murmured, “It was… it was Qingyao.”

“Of course it was Qingyao.” Ji Longtai, filled with hatred for Ji Qingwei, showed no signs of hiding it at this moment. “She would even want our lives; how could she possibly save an outsider?”

Yu Yao’s body swayed, devoid of color. He grasped Madam Ji’s shoulders, his voice trembling. “Why are you lying?!”

“W-We just thought that since Qingwei is still young, Qingyao should be more accommodating to her sister.” Mrs. Ji was flustered. “Yu Yao, trust your aunt. If I had known Ji Qingwei would be so ungrateful, I would never have favored her.”

More than a decade ago, the Ji family had only been a medium-sized family in Sijiu City. However, with the help of the Yu family, they had gained enough standing to rival the Lin family in recent years.

Originally, Mrs. Ji hadn’t intended to claim Qingyao’s credit for Ji Qingwei, as the Ji family would benefit either way.

But how could they have anticipated that Ji Qingwei’s health would plummet, necessitating a large amount of medicinal materials?

Only in this way could Yu Yao keep providing medicines for Ji Qingwei, allowing the Ji family to save both money and effort.

Even if Ji Qingwei’s illness truly could not be cured, they could still rely on the Yu family.

They were unaware that Ji Qingwei’s poor health stemmed from seizing luck that did not belong to her.

“Get out!” Yu Yao pushed Madam Ji away. He gritted his teeth. “You will never set foot in Sijiu City again!”

Mrs. Ji’s lips trembled violently, and she looked helpless and desperate at Ji Longtai. “Longtai, what do we do now…?”

Ji Longtai remained silent, the river of regret flowing through his heart.

Had they known it would come to this, they would never have done so.

At least the Ji family could have had a path to survival.

But now, they had lost everything.

Old Master Ji did not have the same luck as the Ji Longtai couple. After all, once a person was dead, they could not return, and he had perished due to a lack of luck.

The Ji family was completely erased from Sijiu City.

Once renowned, the Ji family had now vanished, becoming a laughingstock among other prestigious families.

At noon, after finishing lunch, Si Fuqing returned to the Thousand Army Alliance.

Ji Qingyao had already awakened and was chatting with Mu Qingmeng.

“How are you feeling?” Si Fuqing sat down by the window. “Are you okay? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?”

Ji Qingyao felt as if she had slept for a very long time, and she had no adverse reactions.

From Mu Qingmeng, she learned that it was Si Fuqing’s timely arrival that had saved her from disaster.

Once again, Si Fuqing had rescued her.

Ji Qingyao wanted to rise to pay her respects, but Si Fuqing pressed her down. “It’s just a small matter.”

Ji Qingyao was momentarily taken aback. She lowered her head and took a deep breath. “Thank you, Miss Si. If you ever need anything, I would go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”

“You’re my fan, so I must protect you,” Si Fuqing replied lazily, her tone indifferent. “If it really comes to fire and water, I’ll take the mountains and cross the flames; it won’t be your turn.”
