Chapter 388: Saw Wrongly

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“All, yes, it’s her!” Ji Zi’ang said in realization.

Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi were always together, and Ji Zi’ang had seen them a few times.

Ji Yuanyuan had told him Fang Xinyi’s name several times, but he could not remember it.

He could only remember this girl’s name was the same as Yang Jingyi’s, with the word Yi.

At this moment, Fang Xinyi was pushing her old bicycle and standing at the school gate, talking to a woman face to face.

The woman was carrying a huge luggage bag.

When a few of them arrived, Ji Zixuan politely stopped the bike.

“Xinyi!” Ji Yuanyuan called out to her.

Fang Xinyi and the woman turned around almost at the same time.

Both of their expressions were a little off, especially Fang Xinyi whose eyes were red as if she had cried.

The woman’s expression was also very ugly. However, when she saw Ji Yuanyuan and the others, her eyes suddenly widened.

She hurriedly turned her head, not knowing what to do.

When Ji Zi’ang saw the woman’s face, he suddenly asked in surprise, “Hey, aren’t you…”

He looked at the woman, scratched his head, and stammered, “Why does she look a little familiar?”

Ji Yuanyuan’s expression changed as she jumped down from the backseat of Ji Zixuan’s bike. She quietly walked to Ji Zang’s side and pinched him.

“Do you know my mother?” Fang Xinyi asked in surprise.

Ji Yuanyuan quickly said, “So this is Auntie. Hello, Auntie. You look like one of our neighbors. My Second Brother must have seen it wrongly just now.”

Ji Zi’ang seemed to have thought of something as he awkwardly added, “Yes, I saw wrongly. Auntie, I’m sorry!”

When the woman heard this, she turned around.

There was still panic on her face, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Xinyi, go in. Mommy’s leaving”

Fang Xinyi held Mother Fang’s hand, her voice choked with sobs, “Be careful on the road, Mom. You have to eat dinner in the future.”

Mother Fang nodded, glanced at Fang Xinyi, and left with her bag.

At this time, Yang Jingyi had already gotten out of the car and said goodbye to Hu Chunli.

Ji Yuanyuan and Yang Jingyi went forward and held Fang Xinyi’s arm. The three of them walked in front while Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang followed behind.

They had things on their minds, so no one spoke along the way.

Fang Xinyi’s mother was actually the woman who stole shoes from the supermarket during the summer vacation.

It seemed she really wasn’t lying back then.

At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan was somewhat glad. She was glad that she had developed compassion for Fang’s Mother at that time.

She had helped her friend.

Just now, the three siblings must have recognized Mother Fang, but in order to protect Fang Xinyi, they didn’t say anything.

Ji Yuanyuan did not know if Yang Jingyi recognized her, and was afraid that she would spill the beans.

If Fang Xinyi knew how her first-place prize was obtained by Mother Fang, she would definitely be very upset.

The few of them remained silent until they reached the parking lot. After parking the bike, they walked towards the classroom.

When they reached the classroom door, Ji Yuanyuan instructed Fang Xinyi, “You go in first. My homework is in Jingyi’s bag.”

Fang Xinyi nodded and entered the class with a dazed expression.

At the door, Ji Yuanyuan pulled Yang Jingyi to the side and asked in a low voice, “Did you remember anything just now?”

Yang Jingyi knew what she meant and nodded, “Fang Xinyi’s Mother, we’ve all met before. But don’t worry, I won’t tell Fang Xinyi. Let’s pretend we’ve never met.”

Hearing Yang Jingyi’s words, Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

By the time Ji Yuanyuan returned to class, Fang Xinyi had already placed the textbooks in her bag on the table.

She lowered her head as if she was crying.

Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and took a piece of paper from her bag, quietly stuffing it into Fang Xinyi’s hands.

She thought Fang Xinyi was only so sad because she had parted ways with her mother.

From Mother Fang’s words and the luggage in her hand, she could tell that she was probably going on a long trip.

With Fang Xinyi’s family background, she probably went out to work.

Such a young child, her mother went out to work, and there was only a paralyzed father at home.

One could imagine how hard life was.

However, Ji Yuanyuan soon noticed something was wrong.

Fang Xinyi had always been a very serious child. Perhaps it was because she knew her family conditions were not good, so she could only study.

Therefore, Fang Xinyi easily zone out during class, sometimes to the point where she forgot to eat or sleep.

But today, Fang Xinyi’s condition had been bad since the morning.

She even shed tears for no reason several times in class.

As her deskmate, Ji Yuanyuan naturally saw it.

Not only Ji Yuanyuan, even Teacher Huo who was on the podium saw it too.

After class, Teacher Huo called Fang Xinyi to his office.

Fang Xinyi still hadn’t returned by the second period.

Ji Yuanyuan felt a little uneasy.

It wasn’t until the end of the second period that Teacher Huo let Fang Xinyi go.

Her eyes were red as she lowered her head and sat down in her seat under the gaze of the entire class.

After she returned, Fang Xinyi’s mood worsened. For the second half of the class, she kept her head down.

Looking at Fang Xinyi’s expression, Ji Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable.

He had wanted to go to the field with her after class to comfort her.

However, she didn’t expect Teacher Huo to step on the bell and come over.

He stood at the door and extended his hand to Ji Yuanyuan, gesturing for her to go over.

Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised, but she still got up and followed Teacher Huo to the office.

In the office, Teacher Huo sat down with a ceramic teacup in his hand.

He silently opened the lid, blew at the tea leaves floating on it, and took a sip of tea.

From the beginning to the end, his brows were tightly knitted.

A moment later, he put down the teacup and looked up at Ji Yuanyuan.

“Your relationship with Fang Xinyi is pretty good?” Teacher Huo asked.

“Yes, we are good friends.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.

Ms. Huo nodded her head in relief, “Something happened at Fang Xinyi’s house in the past two days. Do you know about it?”

“Is it related to Fang Xinyi’s mother?” Ji Yuanyuan probed.

“Why do you say that?” Teacher Huo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“We met Fang Xinyi’s mother at the school gate this morning. She was carrying a big bag and seemed to be going somewhere.” Ji Yuanyuan told him the truth.

“Oh, Fang Xinyi’s mother went to work in the city. But that’s not what I’m talking about. Fang Xinyi’s father passed away on Friday night.”

Ji Yuanyuan was stunned, “What?”

After a pause, she suddenly realized something.

No wonder Fang Xinyi was dressed in black today, and the headband on her head was also black..
