Chapter 9 It Wasn't an Accident

"…" Han Siyuan felt even more wronged. So he was completely an innocent victim caught in the crossfire?

However, since the other party dared to hit even their president, as Chi Jun'an's assistant, it wasn't too unjust for him to get beaten up. Han Siyuan could only console himself in this way.

"I'll arrange for someone to take you to the hospital later. This counts as an on-the-job injury." Chi Jun'an said somewhat helplessly. "Take two days off. I'll give you paid leave."

"President, no need. These are just minor injuries…" Han Siyuan was somewhat apprehensive.

"Siyuan, just accept it," Chi Jun'an felt a bit embarrassed. "I don't have any other way to compensate you."

"…" Han Siyuan immediately understood that this was compensation for him being beaten up.

Judging by the situation, Chi Jun'an didn't intend to pursue the matter of him being beaten, which surprised Han Siyuan.

Having been by Chi Jun'an's side all the time, Han Siyuan knew his temper quite well.

Chi Jun'an had a good personality. He was usually calm and gentle, and he was polite to everyone.

However, if someone underestimated him and tried to bully him, Chi Jun'an would smile and let those people know what the cruelty of the world was.

But this time… Chi Jun'an actually planned to let it go like this? Since he wasn't going to pursue it, Han Siyuan didn't feel comfortable saying anything more.

Ji Xiaonuan and Xu Wenwen ran out of the photography studio in one breath and got on a bus as if they were fleeing.

"…Wenwen, is it really okay for us to just run away like this?" Ji Xiaonuan looked back worriedly.

After all, they had beaten someone up and then run away. Even if they had beaten the wrong person and hadn't explained anything to him, Ji Xiaonuan felt somewhat embarrassed.

"What's not okay about it?" Xu Wenwen said confidently. "I asked if that coat was his, and he said it was himself! So, he deserved to be beaten! I think either he's in cahoots with the lecher who took advantage of you, or he's a person who likes to take advantage. But no matter which kind of person he is, he deserves a beating!"

"…" Ji Xiaonuan looked at her speechlessly. Well, she had always been more proficient in using her fists to speak and had never been very good at arguing. Now she had been convinced by Xu Wenwen's fallacious reasoning.

The two of them went straight back to Q University, but they were both in low spirits.

When they returned to the dormitory, they saw Lin Xin looking at them with a resentful expression.

"How did the preliminary selection go?" Lin Xin asked resentfully.

"What's wrong with her?" Ji Xiaonuan asked in surprise, looking at Xu Wenwen.

"Hahaha, the people participating in the preliminary selection must be between 20 and 21 years old. Lin Xin just had her 22nd birthday a few days ago, so she hasn't been able to sign up. She's really annoyed about it!" Xu Wenwen said gloatingly.

Lin Xin was choked speechless by her. She retorted without hesitation, "Even if you went, Chi Jun'an wouldn't choose you. What are you so smug about?"

"At least I'll get that thousand yuan!" Xu Wenwen added insult to injury.

Lin Xin gave Xu Wenwen an angry look and turned to Ji Xiaonuan. "You tell me."

Ji Xiaonuan's face suddenly turned a bit Ugly.

"I'll tell you!" Xu Wenwen, who had originally planned to go wash her face, immediately ran back and told them their experiences of the day in great detail, adding a lot of embellishments.

Lin Xin listened with a stunned expression. She exclaimed, "Your experiences are really eventful. I should have gone with you. But… Xiaoxi, I always feel that your dress breaking wasn't an accident."

"Yeah, I think it's really strange too," Xu Wenwen nodded in agreement. "For such a big event, my male god must have arranged every aspect properly. Although the dresses are all in a standard size, the quality must be up to standard. They definitely wouldn't break so easily. Someone must have tampered with it!"

"I don't think so," Ji Xiaonuan frowned in confusion. "We don't know anyone else, and we don't have any grudges against them…"

Before she could finish her words, Ji Xiaonuan was stunned.

She did know someone today. Whether it was Li Mengxue or that fake Chi Jun'an, they both had reasons to do this.

"I think it must have been Li Mengxue who did it!" Xu Wenwen said angrily.

"I think so too." Lin Xin nodded in agreement.

"Come on, Xiaoxi. Let's go find her!" Xu Wenwen said as she stood up.

Ji Xiaonuan felt somewhat helpless. "Forget it. The matter is over. Besides, we don't have any evidence. She definitely won't admit it. At that time, everyone will think we're just picking a fight."

"Yeah, that hypocrite is the best at pretending to be innocent and pitiful," Lin Xin said. "Going to her place like this will just make Xiaoxi suffer."

"Then what should we do?" Xu Wenwen was very dissatisfied. "Are we just going to let her be complacent?"

"A gentleman takes revenge, even after ten years. There's still plenty of time in the future. Why be in a hurry?" Ji Xiaonuan persuaded.

"All right then. I'll go take a shower first." Xu Wenwen changed her mind instantly.

"…" Ji Xiaonuan looked at Xu Wenwen who turned and went to the restroom, feeling somewhat speechless.

Among the three of them, Lin Xin was the most stable and thought more. Xu Wenwen was the most articulate, but she was rather indecisive and liked to follow the decisions of the other two. Ji Xiaonuan was the least good at speaking because she was used to taking direct action and hated those scheming and calculating things the most.

Suddenly, she looked at Lin Xin suspiciously.

"What are you looking at? Is there a flower on my face?" Lin Xin touched her cheek in confusion.

"Lin Xin, do you remember what happened in the bar that day?" Ji Xiaonuan asked.

"I don't remember very clearly. I drank a bit too much that day." Lin Xin frowned.

"When Wenwen and I arrived, we heard that you were taken to the restroom by several men. But when I went to save you, I only saw one person. Do you remember that?" She continued to ask.

Lin Xin thought for a while and said vaguely, "I remember. Someone seemed to have driven those little hoodlums away in the restroom. Now that I think about it, the man who saved me seemed quite handsome~"

Looking at Lin Xin's somewhat infatuated expression, Ji Xiaonuan was stunned.

Could it be?

According to what Lin Xin said, it was indeed that fake Chi Jun'an who saved her?

"Did you… vomit on him?" Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help the corners of her eyes twitching slightly.

"Probably." Lin Xin nodded. She looked at Ji Xiaonuan in surprise. "How do you know?"

Ji Xiaonuan gave a dry laugh, and her heart was already in turmoil.

So, that day in the bar, she had really misunderstood. That fake Chi Jun'an had saved Lin Xin and was even made to look foolish by her.

However… even so, he couldn't force a kiss on her, and he couldn't deliberately molest her today! Anyway, they wouldn't meet again in the future, so it could be considered even between them.

Ji Xiaonuan suddenly felt much more confident and completely put this matter out of her mind.

She had thought that this matter was over, but she didn't expect that after one night, an even bigger storm was waiting for her.
