Invitation

At the end of class the next day, Mai Qi was picked up by Mrs. Mai. This time, Mrs. Mai didn't invite me so I couldn't follow. I told Mai Qi to call me if she needed anything. Mai Qi reached in to give me a goodbye hug. She whispered in my ears. "If I'm not back by morning, please come find me."

I froze. Mai Qi released her hug and entered the luxurious Rolls-Royce.

In my heart, I was confused by this family. Mai Qi's father and brother had entrusted Mai Qi to me but they also told me to be careful of Mai Qi's mother.

What a ridiculous family.

However, if Mrs. Mai dared to harm Mai Qi, I would help Mai Qi!

...

I was not that worried about Mai Qi but I was worried about Old Master Jing. He was adamantly opposed to me being with Jing Tian but he had not made any movement to stop us. It made me suspicious. I overheard his conversation with Jing Tian, neither of them managed to convince the other so why hadn't Old Master Jing made his move yet?
