Chapter 143: What Should I Do? Cry?

Qiao Shuyi was shocked. She looked at everyone and said, “Someone… was injured?”

Jian Ai didn’t answer her. Instead, she walked to the table and picked up a bottle of beverage.

Jian Yiyi nodded. “He’s our classmate. We came to the hot spring to celebrate his birthday.”

When Qiao Shuyi saw that her daughter was fine, she calmed down. She thought for a moment before turning to the two staff members behind her. “Let’s settle the children first. Let them have a good sleep and prepare new clothes for them. I’ll go and see the injured child.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she said to everyone comfortingly, “Children, rest for a while. When the sun rises, Auntie will arrange for a car to take you down the mountain.”

Everyone was tired, and they could not hold on anymore, mentally or physically. They followed Qiao Shuyi’s instructions and went to the guest rooms to rest under the guidance of the staff.

At around eight the next morning, the sunlight outside the window woke Jian Ai up. She got off the bed and walked to the window, and she could see the villa that had caught fire last night at the top of the mountain.

The fire had already been put out at some point in time. The originally milky-white villa was now charred, and smoke was still lingering.

Jian Ai frowned and went into the bathroom.

When she went downstairs, it was almost nine. The rest had already gathered in the hotel lobby.

Unlike Jian Ai, everyone was dispirited and looked sluggish. All of them had thick dark circles under their eyes, and it was obvious that they did not rest well.

When Guan Tao saw Jian Ai come down, she was the first to go up to her. She asked worriedly, “Xiao Ai, are you okay?”

Jian Ai blinked and saw that Guan Tao’s eyes were red. With a tired face, Guan Tao even asked if she was okay. Jian Ai couldn’t help but smile faintly. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“Hah. Lin Yi is still not awake, but she can still smile,” Li Yunmei said unkindly when she saw this. Her relationship with Jian Ai had not changed because of what had happened last night.

Jian Ai’s eyes turned cold as she tilted her head. “What should I do then? Cry?”

“Jian Ai, that’s not what Xiao Mei meant.” Jian Yiyi stood up for Li Yunmei like a good person.

“Then what?does?she mean?” Jian Ai looked at Jian Yiyi expressionlessly. “If she was?that?concerned about Lin Yi, she would have let Lin Yi escape first last night, not let him stay behind.”

Li Yunmei could not help but blush when she heard this. She was too afraid and anxious last night, so she was the second to escape after Yan Tian. Under that situation, how could she care about others? Now that Jian Ai had exposed her in public, she immediately felt that she had nothing to hide.

“You…” Li Yunmei flew into a rage out of humiliation. She opened her mouth but did not know how to rebut.

Xia Qinghuan glared at her. “Li Yunmei, that’s enough. If not for Jian Ai, we would have died there. It’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but you’re still being sarcastic. You’re such an ingrate!”

Li Yunmei was speechless. Jian Yiyi threw her a look. Li Yunmei could only turn her head away in anger.

Jian Ai could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Li Yunmei. She pulled Guan Tao to sit beside Xia Qinghuan.

She initially had no intention of blaming anyone. Under the situation last night, survival was human nature.

As soon as she sat down, a piece of bread and a bottle of fruit juice were handed to her.
