To match her makeup and hairstyle, she purposely adopted a cold and glamorous demeanor. Sure enough, as she walked out of the restaurant, she attracted quite a few glances. Even Zhuo Han’s men couldn’t help but stare at her, but they were merely enjoying the view and none of them associated her with Leslie’s daughter.
Using her peripheral vision, she glanced at Zhuo Han, who was sitting by the window. He gave her a casual look but didn’t pay much attention.
Zhixi finally let go of her anxiety.
Only after leaving the restaurant, did she realize her back was soaked with sweat.
She didn’t dare to quicken her pace, instead, she followed Lu Qixi’s instructions and headed for the parking area, stopping in front of a nanny van.
The girl in the driver’s seat poked her head out and offered a smile, "Miss Gu, I’m Qixi’s assistant. She has told me everything. Please get in." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✦fire.net
"Thank you," Zhixi didn’t hesitate. She immediately opened the door and got in, "By the way, did Qixi tell you about the follow-up plan?"
"Just watch," the girl smiled, took out her phone, and made a call, "Support Team, begin your action! Qixi is inside the restaurant, oh!"
Then, Zhixi saw a flood of young people suddenly surge into the restaurant like a tidal wave.
"Miss Gu, I’ll take you back first. Chen is with Qixi; don’t worry about her," the girl said as she started the car.
Looking at the tide of fans, Zhixi still felt a bit dizzy, "Is it really okay?"
"It’s fine. You can rest assured!" the girl said with conviction.
Before the car even reached Lugang, Zhixi got the latest news about Qixi on Weibo. Countless fans were posting photos, clearly depicting how Qixi left surrounded by her fans.
She couldn’t help but smile.
The assistant dropped her off at Lugang. Zhixi thanked her and got out of the car, seeing the familiar villa brought a sense of relief, as if she had survived a disaster.
But just as she was about to walk in, she was blocked by a bodyguard.
Even her own bodyguard didn’t recognize her, no wonder she was able to leave the restaurant smoothly.
After she spoke a few words, the bodyguard finally confirmed her identity.
Zhixi entered the villa and was greeted by Uncle Li’s astonished face, her eyes felt moist, "Uncle Li, I’m back."
"Young Mistress..." Uncle Li was both stunned and excited, "You... you’re alright...?"
"I’m fine." Zhixi was too tired to talk more and quickly went to her room to freshen up.
After her shower, she put on her home clothes and came out, only to find that the two bodyguards who had been following her had also returned.
At the time, they indeed had been detained by Zhuo Han’s men, but after the restaurant was taken over by Qixi’s fans, Zhuo Han’s men could no longer attend to them. Zhuo Han, in a frantic state, searched for Zhixi but never found her. Seeing this, the men thought the mistress might have escaped, so they called Uncle Li.
Upon learning that Zhixi had made it home, the two men quietly returned.
After hearing their report, Uncle Li waved them off and then turned to face Zhixi, "Young Mistress, what if Zhuo Han still refuses to give up?"
With her lips pressed tightly together, Zhixi remained silent for a long time.
Today she escaped successfully, thanks to Qixi. But after being toyed with , Zhuo Han was sure to harbor resentment.
Moreover, one by one, the people who could help her were being impeded... No matter who was behind it, it was enough to alarm Zhixi.
