The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 29

After rushing out of the villa, Jing Yi quickly drove 'Black Night' out of the garage.

Fortunately, the keys she was supposed to return to Uncle Li last time had been forgotten, so the car keys were still with her.

The roar of 'Black Night' sounded again, but it was different from usual. This was also the first time Uncle Li had seen Jing Yi drive this sports car at such speed, and he was a bit worried.

Uncle Li hesitated for a moment, but still walked into the villa.

Inside the villa, Jing Beicheng was comforting Lin Ruiqing, "Nothing's wrong, Xiao Yi probably just remembered something she hadn't finished and rushed out to do it."

The worry on Lin Ruiqing's face didn't fade.

"But Yi Yi looked very flustered, and it's so late at night. What could be so urgent? Couldn't it wait until tomorrow?"

"She's in her twenties now, she can take care of herself. If there really was something wrong, she would ask Zeyou and the others for help."

Lin Ruiqing sighed, trying to comfort herself. She no longer had the appetite for the tonic and was about to ask Aunt Wang to take it away when Uncle Li walked in quickly.

"Sir, Madam, Miss Yi has driven out."

Jing Beicheng gave Lin Ruiqing a look, signaling her not to worry too much, before turning to answer Uncle Li, "She had an urgent matter to attend to, it's fine."

Jing Beicheng thought Jing Yi had just driven out to handle something, but Uncle Li's expression told him it wasn't that simple.

He asked again, "What's wrong?"

"Miss was driving very fast, I'm worried..."

This wasn't the first time Uncle Li had seen Jing Yi drive out, and if it was her usual driving style, he wouldn't have come to report to Jing Beicheng.

But that acceleration was impossible to ignore, especially since it was 'Black Night'.

Lin Ruiqing looked even more worried. She had seen the urgency in Jing Yi's eyes earlier.

How could she not be concerned about her driving out so fast this late at night?

Lin Ruiqing looked at Jing Beicheng, placing her hand on his forearm, her face full of worry, "Why don't we contact Xiao You and ask him to check on Yi Yi? He might be able to help her if something's wrong."

Jing Beicheng thought for a moment, then nodded, gently patting Lin Ruiqing's hand to reassure her.

In the CEO's office of Hengjing Group, Jing Zeyou was handling the work on his desk, mostly documents that had piled up recently.

During the period when Lin Ruiqing was ill, Jing Zeyou had visited the hospital almost every day to check on her condition and discuss her daily treatment with the doctors.

Some work had gradually accumulated as a result.

Just as he was about to finish the work at hand, Jing Zeyou raised his head to ease the discomfort in his neck.

He really was a 'workaholic' as Jing Yi often worried. Thinking of Jing Yi's concern, Jing Zeyou couldn't help but smile.

The phone on his desk rang.

Jing Zeyou glanced at the caller ID. His father was calling?

Jing Zeyou was surprised. At this time, Jing Beicheng should be taking a walk with Lin Ruiqing.

He answered the call, "Dad?"

On the other end, Jing Beicheng told Jing Zeyou what had happened after Jing Yi came back.

She drove out in 'Black Night'?

Jing Zeyou's lips curved slightly, "Dad, it's okay. Yi Yi knows how to drive."

Then the voice on the other end said something else, and worry appeared in Jing Zeyou's eyes.

"Alright, I understand. I'll contact her right away."

Jing Zeyou hung up the phone, his brows slightly furrowed.

Even when Jing Yi drove out, she was always very careful about safety. What could have made her so flustered?

As night fell, the city of North river was illuminated by dazzling lights, making it seem dreamlike.

A sharp beam of headlights cut through the night sky, illuminating the road ahead. The eye-catching black sports car sped through the city streets at a breathtaking speed.

Many pedestrians by the roadside noticed this black sports car flying down the road.

'It's the one she filmed in Sea Crabapple Still Blooms.'

'I think it's at Yuelai.'

Lin Ruiqing's voice kept echoing in Jing Yi's mind as she raced towards Yuelai Hotel.

Since leaving the Jing family home, Jing Yi had kept her foot on the accelerator. Her expression was unusually anxious, and her mood was very tense.

The phone rang.

"Hello, Big Brother!" It was Jing Zeyou calling.

"Yi Yi, what's wrong? Dad and Mom said you rushed out in 'Black Night'."

The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with concern.

Jing Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, her gaze fixed firmly on the road ahead, her foot still not easing off the accelerator even slightly.

Because she had finally remembered what that very important thing was.

'Sea Crabapple Still Blooms! Sea Crabapple Still Blooms!' The name of this drama had been mentioned so often, how could she have forgotten such an important matter!

Jing Yi's eyes reflected her self-reproach. She should have remembered this much earlier!

Because of this drama, what Jing Zejun received was not praise from the audience, but harassment from investors and attacks from public opinion!

In the original book, Jing Zejun had participated in the TV series Sea Crabapple Still Blooms. This was a script that Jing Zejun really liked, and she had been very dedicated to filming this drama.

She thought she was lucky - the director was conscientious, and the investor was generous, never giving them trouble about the budget.

But what Jing Zejun didn't know was that from the very beginning, the investor of this drama wasn't interested in the show itself. His ultimate goal was Jing Zejun, the beautiful rising star.

So, at a party after the filming wrapped up, he slipped something into Jing Zejun's drink.

The director of the drama naturally knew about this, but for the sake of the sponsorship, he hadn't warned Jing Zejun.

He even found an excuse to take the manager out, leaving Jing Zejun alone to face the investor, becoming his accomplice.

Although the investor didn't succeed in the end - he was about to do something when Wen Qingyan, who happened to be in the hotel, discovered the situation and rescued Jing Zejun.

But for a long time afterward, Jing Zejun faced considerable criticism and attacks on the internet. It was Jing Zeyou who eventually suppressed the whole incident.

"Big Brother! Go to Yuelai Hotel right now!" Jing Yi's voice was very different from usual, extremely urgent.

Jing Yi made a turn and continued, "Jun Jun is having dinner with the investor today, but I've been unable to reach her on the phone. I suspect she's in danger. I'm on my way there now!"

Jun Jun? Jing Zeyou was a bit confused, but Jing Yi's tone was so anxious that she hung up without waiting for him to ask more questions.

Jing Zeyou got up, grabbed his coat, and tried to contact Jing Zejun.

No answer...

If the call could have gone through, Jing Yi wouldn't be rushing there like a madwoman now.

Jing Zeyou realized that something might really be wrong. He strode out of his office, "Little Chen, find out immediately if Jing Zejun is at Yuelai Hotel, and which private room she's in!"
