"Let's drink with you," Jing Yan said directly.
Others agreed, all wanting to help Luo Fei take his mind off things.
"I'm fine. I need to help my mother handle things during this time," Luo Fei said. He was clearly putting up a strong front despite the shock he'd experienced, but being the tough man he was, he could handle it.
He came specifically to thank Qin Xian and Ji Fei.
If it weren't for them, who knows what would have become of his life.
"It's because of you..."
Suddenly, Wu Xingqing's voice came from behind. The Qin family had brought Wu Xingqing along, intending to call Qin Xian and Ji Fei home.
As elders who knew Wu Xingqing, they naturally didn't want her to walk alone and wanted to escort her home.
Wu Xingqing still looked unwell, but having just heard Luo Fei's words and thinking of her own fate, she bowed to thank Qin Xian and Ji Fei.
When she raised her head, her eyes met Luo Fei's.
They both quickly looked away after making eye contact.
Both felt oddly guilty towards each other, yet also felt they were victims who shouldn't feel guilty, having done nothing wrong to each other. Their feelings were complicated, and as fellow victims of the same deceitful couple, they simply didn't want to see each other again.
However, the others were probably being nosy, seeing these two standing face to face, both recently deceived in love, they strangely connected them in their minds, feeling... they might be a good match. If not for the awkward circumstances, they might have even tried to play matchmaker.
Though this thought was fleeting - attractive man and beautiful woman, perfect height difference - it's easy to let imagination run wild.
Once they calmed down, they realized that unless by accident, these two would never be possible.
After a few words, the Qin family left with Wu Xingqing.
In the car, since it wasn't appropriate to discuss the scumbag situation, they talked about Wu Xingqing's circumstances instead.
Her mother was in prison, her father was abroad handling business, and Wu Xingqing was living between the Wu family home and her grandparents' house.
News spread quickly here. Wu Xingqing had wanted to go home alone to collect her thoughts, but after receiving many calls, her family worried and sent her to her grandparents' house instead.
Fortunately, compared to the Luo family drama, Wu Xingqing was merely a side note, so she was rarely mentioned when the news spread. The focus was mainly on the bizarre love triangle between Luo Fei, Tang Yu, and Fan Shi, as well as the divorce battle between Luo's Father and Luo's Mother.
Of course, Ji Fei's reputation as the "Drama Queen of High Society" gradually spread among fan circles, with online memes suggesting that after cleaning up the entertainment industry, she had started cleaning up high society circles, determined to bring positive energy and correct values to all social circles.
Some even started tagging her, listing dramatic family situations, asking her to investigate whether they were genuinely dramatic or just putting on shows to scam netizens.
It could be said that Ji Fei had become their connection to high society.
This led Sister Pei to call and ask Ji Fei what was going on, wondering if she was trying to create a new public image.
Ji Fei was both speechless and innocent.
The day after the incident, the Luo family drama remained trending, even showing signs of hitting the short video platform's hot search. After all, the overall development was more dramatic than a soap opera, and netizens loved it.
However, by the third day, all online discussion had died down, given Luo's Mother's family's special status and Luo Fei being a police officer, naturally controlling the situation strictly.
On the fourth day, Luo's Father and Luo's Mother successfully divorced, with Luo's Father being the party at fault, leaving him practically penniless.
The Luo family also resented Luo's Father for not handling the situation well, causing them huge losses, and refused to deal with him anymore, ultimately leading to his hospitalization due to anger.
["Luo's Mother is formidable! She froze all of the mistress's overseas properties, forcing her to return to the country to seek help from Luo's Father and Tang Yu."]
The Qin family sat in the living room, pretending to discuss gossip while listening to Ji Fei's updates.
Very good, swift and decisive.
["Tang Yu doesn't care about his hospitalized father or Fan Shi, staying in a hotel, throwing tantrums daily and... getting dental work done."]
The eavesdroppers almost burst out laughing.
["Fan Shi, depressed and melancholic, had some pregnancy complications and was hospitalized for a few days. Unable to contact Tang Yu, she returned to the apartment she shared with Luo Fei, only to find she couldn't even enter the complex because Luo Fei had sold the apartment and her resident information had been deleted, with only her personal belongings left at the security office. Fan Shi fainted from crying again and was taken to the hospital."]
The Qin family thought: She really faints too easily, and how shameless of her to try returning there!
["Fan Shi went to Luo Fei's workplace only to learn he was on leave, so she could only go to the mansion villa, which was also empty."]
The Qin family: Looks like Luo Fei and his mother completely saw through Fan Shi's true nature - if you can't fight them, at least you can avoid them.
["Then she unexpectedly met Tang Yu's mother outside, who had also come to argue and try to get more inheritance for her son."]
The Qin family: ...Even if invisible, birds of a feather really do flock together. Tang Yu's two most important women had the same idea.
["Fan Shi immediately latched onto her when she saw her, wanting to find Tang Yu... no... she's still trying to keep both options open."]
The Qin family's expressions froze.
["Then they got into a fight because Tang Yu's mother felt Fan Shi wasn't worthy of her son or carrying his child, calling her a shameless woman clinging to her son. If it weren't for her, her son wouldn't be in trouble, and they wouldn't have ended up in this situation. She called Fan Shi a jinx and beat her severely... What? The baby is gone?!"]
The Qin family was shocked. Though they had imagined various scenarios of their meeting, Fan Shi was carrying her son's child - her grandchild!
However, from another perspective, being born to such parents would be the greatest misfortune, with none of them having proper values. Perhaps not being born was heaven's mercy for this innocent child.
The next day, the Qin family heard the follow-up from Ji Fei.
["Tang Yu finally appeared after finishing his dental work. Facing Fan Shi, who was devastated about losing the baby, Tang Yu was completely indifferent and warned her not to bother him anymore, saying she had no value left and they were over. Fan Shi finally realized the truth."]
The Qin family: He's worse than an animal, not even caring about his own child.
["Oh my god! Fan Shi is trying to commit suicide by jumping off the building!"] Ji Fei was suddenly startled.
The Qin family also froze in shock.
["Wait, it's... it's a ploy to force Luo Fei to appear? She deliberately left Luo Fei's police station contact information with the nurses, saying she was Luo Fei's ex-girlfriend. My goodness, this is incredible."]
The Qin family was speechless at this point, eager to know the outcome.
The next moment, they saw Ji Fei trembling, seemingly trying to hold back laughter, until she couldn't even sit straight and had to lean on Qin Xian's shoulder, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.
["The hospital was prepared for such people, so all doors to the roof were locked. She couldn't get up there at all. Without an audience for her performance, she naturally couldn't act it out. Because of the contact information she unnecessarily left, the nurses noticed her heading to the roof and immediately called security. In the end, not only could she not fake her suicide, but the hospital suspected she had mental issues and sent her for psychiatric evaluation. Of course, Luo Fei wasn't called - it was Fan Shi's distant relative who came to handle the situation. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"]
The Qin family quickly found things to do elsewhere - after all, except for Qin Xian, who could resist laughing at such a story? They had to find somewhere else to laugh properly.
Another day passed.
Everyone thought the drama was mostly over.
Then suddenly Ji Fei sat up straight with a serious expression.
["What's going on? Tang Yu hasn't given up and still wants Wu Xingqing. He didn't care about Fan Shi losing the baby because he actually wanted to marry into a wealthy family and didn't want an illegitimate child interfering with his life."]
The Qin family became tense, and Qin's Mom naturally wanted to find a way to warn Wu Xingqing. But it was too late.
["Damn, Tang Yu had previously installed a tracking device on Wu Xingqing's phone, and tonight when she went to a bar alone for drinks, he seized the opportunity and drugged her! He's taken her to a hotel room!!!"]
At this point, the Qin family panicked, and Qin's Mom immediately stood up to take action.
Qin Xian immediately took out his phone, intending to contact Luo Fei. Having the police handle it would be the quickest solution.
[Luo Fei went there too???!!!]
Everyone paused, secretly glancing at Ji Fei with surprise and suspicion.
What was going on?!
