CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57: THE STRANGE MAN

"Impossible!" Wei Qing listened to the person on the other end of the phone.

On the other end, Wei Jin furrowed her brow, sensing that Wei Qing’s reaction was off.

"Xiao Qing, what’s wrong?" Wei Jin asked.

Wei Qing replied urgently, "Sis, how could Brother Jiang suddenly get married? You’re lying to me, right?"

Wei Jin’s tone was serious, "Xiao Qing, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but Jingming is already married, that’s an undeniable fact."

Wei Qing shook her head, "No, I don’t believe it, how could Brother Jiang get married, you’re lying to me."

Saying that, Wei Qing hung up the phone.

She needed to find Jiang Jingming, she needed to ask him face to face.

"Miss, where are you going, it’s too late now, you shouldn’t go out."

The aunt at the door stopped Wei Qing.

Wei Qing pushed the aunt aside, "Don’t stop me!"

"Wei Qing, what are you doing?" Wei Lai heard the commotion and looked toward the door.

The aunt quickly said, "Young master, the second young lady wants to go out, please stop her, it’s been unsafe outside lately."

Hearing this, Wei Lai went up to Wei Qing and frowned, "Wei Qing, where are you going?"

Wei Qing replied impatiently, "It’s none of your business."

"What do you mean it’s none of my business? Didn’t you hear Aunt Wang say? It’s been unsafe outside lately, can’t it wait until tomorrow, why do you have to go out at night?"

Their argument caught the attention of Wei Guo and Ning Yayan upstairs.

The couple came downstairs.

"What’s going on?" Ning Yayan asked.

Wei Lai said, "Wei Qing is acting crazy, wants to go out."

Wei Guo said sternly, "Xiao Qing, what needs to be done now?"

Wei Qing, not daring to show it in front of Wei Guo and Ning Yayan, avoided their gaze.

"I just thought of a friend I haven’t seen in a long time and wanted to go see them."

Ning Yayan stepped forward, gently saying, "Xiao Qing, you can see your friend tomorrow, it’s not safe for a girl to go out so late at night."

Even though Wei Qing was anxious, with Wei Guo and Ning Yayan there, she dared not leave.

"I understand, mom and dad, I’ll go rest upstairs."

Wei Qing almost fled upstairs.

Wei Lai muttered, "So strange."

Ning Yayan also found Wei Qing’s behavior odd. She’s been back for several days, why couldn’t she meet a friend any other time than rushing out at night.

Wei Guo asked, "Wei Lai, what’s wrong with your sister?"

Wei Lai shrugged, "How should I know? As soon as I came down, I saw her running out. If it weren’t for Aunt Wang stopping her, she would’ve been gone by now."

How would he know what’s wrong with Wei Qing, she’s always been a bit crazy since she was young, maybe she’s acting up again today.

Of course, he wouldn’t dare say that, or he might get a mixed-gender beating.

Ning Yayan frowned, "Xiao Qing seems a bit strange."

Wei Guo’s expression was stern, "Aunt Wang, please keep an eye on Xiao Qing at night from now on."

Aunt Wang said, "Yes, sir."

...

After Wei Jin was hung up on by Wei Qing, she began to suspect if Wei Qing had different feelings towards Jiang Jingming.

Otherwise, why would she become so agitated upon hearing about Jiang Jingming’s marriage?

If that’s the case, then it would be troublesome.

Her sister had always been possessive since she was a child, and she probably wouldn’t let this go easily.

She might even go looking for Sang Yu.

That would be troublesome.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Chunhe appeared behind Wei Jin, handing her a glass of milk.

Wei Jin told Jiang Chunhe about Wei Qing’s situation.

"I’m a little worried, Xiao Qing has always been very stubborn, she insists on getting what she wants. I’m worried Xiao Qing will cause trouble for Xiao Yu.

And Xiao Qing’s behavior on the phone seemed a bit excessive, I’m concerned she might do something wrong."

Jiang Chunhe sat down, softly saying, "Don’t overthink it, I’ll inform Jingming about this, I’m sure he can handle it well."

Hearing Jiang Chunhe’s words, Wei Jin felt somewhat relieved.

The corner of her mouth had some milk stains after drinking the milk, Jiang Chunhe’s eyes darkened.

He took the glass and placed it on the coffee table, wrapping his arms around Wei Jin’s waist.

He rested his chin on her neck and whispered, "Has your period passed?"

Wei Jin’s face turned red, playfully scolding, "Why do you always think about these things?"

Jiang Chunhe replied confidently, "It’s not me thinking, it’s it thinking."

Wei Jin’s face turned even redder, "Stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Chunhe chuckled softly, picked up Wei Jin, and took her upstairs.

...

A light rain suddenly began, pattering on the windowsill.

Sang Yu grabbed an umbrella and went out; today was her deadline for submitting her draft.

As soon as she stepped out, a woman followed behind her, it was Wei Qing.

She held an umbrella and quietly trailed after Sang Yu, who didn’t notice.

Until Sang Yu entered a newspaper office.

Could Sang Yu be with the newspaper?

Wei Qing found a place to sit, and just half an hour later, Sang Yu came out.

Wei Qing hurried to follow Sang Yu, but lost her anyway.

She searched the street for a while, not finding any trace of Sang Yu, and took the bus back to Jiang Jingming’s place.

She needed to find out, why would Brother Jiang want to get married, it must have been that woman’s doing.

In fact, Sang Yu didn’t go anywhere, she went straight home after submitting her draft.

Last night, Jiang Jingming repeatedly warned her not to stay out too long, and even had the groceries delivered.

Perhaps Sea City was indeed more dangerous recently.

To avoid troubling Jiang Jingming, she went straight home after submitting the draft, not even engaging in much conversation with Liu Shumin.

Sang Yu headed straight home without stopping.

As she closed the door, a man emerged from around the corner.

His eyes shone with a sinister light, like a viper lurking in the darkness, waiting for the right moment.

A cold smile played on his lips, sending a chill down one’s spine.

After a while, he finally turned and left.

"Hey, what are you doing? Aren’t you watching where you’re walking?" Suddenly, from the corner, a man walked out and bumped into Wei Qing.

The man didn’t say anything, just stared at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing was startled by the man’s appearance and gaze, her voice rising a bit to boost her courage:

"What are you looking at, not watching where you’re walking, don’t you know you bumped into someone?"

After a while, the man said, "Sorry."

Wei Qing, a bit scared of the man, feeling a bit of danger, said, "Forget it, forget it."

Then quickly turned and left, saving the questions for that woman for next time.

The man watched the disappearing figure with a dark gaze.

A trace of amusement flashed in his eyes, "Lucky, ran into two at once."

The man’s steps quickened as he left.

After leaving the alley, Wei Qing immediately got on the bus.

Her heart was still racing, the man gave her a terrible feeling.

How could there be such a man there, should she go looking for Sang Yu again in the future?

What if she encountered that man again if she went?

Wei Qing twisted the bag in her hand, both fearful and unwilling to accept this.
