Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186 “No one will laugh at you.

“Your brother's company is so large, even losing a few partnerships won't have much of an impact,” Xiao Yu placed his hands on Ji Yuqiao's shoulders, looking at her with earnest concern, “And you said you'd help me, didn't you?”

“But…” Ji Yuqiao's eyes filled with hesitation.

“Once my studio grows and thrives, we can be together forever,” Xiao Yu said.

Ji Yuqiao bit her lip, remaining silent.

In the next instant, Xiao Yu's gentle expression suddenly turned ugly; he let go of her hands, and his tone was shockingly cold, “If you're unwilling, then go. From now on, don't ever come to see me again.”

Ji Yuqiao panicked at that moment, grabbing his hand and saying, “I'm willing, I'm willing, whatever you need help with, I'll do it!”

The indifference faded from his face, and Xiao Yu hugged Ji Yuqiao happily.

With his persuasion, not only in the study, Ji Yuqiao also stole many confidential files from Ji Group's CEO office and gave them to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu collaborated with Ji Group's rival companies, dealing Ji Group a severe blow.

Ji Group faced the threat of bankruptcy, even their villa was repossessed, and the family was left homeless, with nowhere to go.

Ji Yuqiao, crying, sought out Xiao Yu, “You said it wouldn't affect the Ji Family, did you lie to me?!”

Xiao Yu's face showed a scoff, “So what if I lied to you? It's only because you were too naive; you believed anything I said. And as for the Ji Family's current state, it's all your doing, your own family will never forgive you.”

Ji Yuqiao's face drained of all color, and walking down the street in a daze, she unknowingly ventured deep into the mountains. Her footing slipped, and she tumbled down the cliffside.

“Ah!”

Lin Xu suddenly woke up, sitting up abruptly in bed.

Her chest heaved violently, sweat on her forehead so dense it seemed to ooze, even the back of her shirt was drenched.

Thankfully, it was all just a dream.

But the dream was so real, it left her heart trembling with fear.

Lin Xu gasped deeply, wiping the sweat from her brow with the back of her hand. She picked up her phone from the nightstand to see that she had slept straight through to the afternoon.

She lingered in her room for a while, not going downstairs until her emotions had settled.

Only Ji Zeqiu was in the living room, Lin Xu had no idea when he had finished work and come back.

Seeing Lin Xu come downstairs, Ji Zeqiu's face brightened, and he immediately went over to greet her, “Mother.”

“Where's Lanyue, isn't she up yet?” Lin Xu looked around, not spotting Ji Yuqiao.

“Have you forgotten? It's Monday, she's gone back to school for classes,” Ji Zeqiu approached and suddenly his heart tightened at the sight of her pale face, “Why do you look so unwell?”

His expression instantly grew tense as he guided Lin Xu to sit down on the sofa.

“Is it hypoglycemia, or are you feeling ill? I'll go get you something…” Ji Zeqiu said as he started to head to the kitchen.

Lin Xu held onto him, shaking her head, “I'm fine, it was just a nightmare.”

Relief washed over Ji Zeqiu upon hearing her words.

“A nightmare, it must be because you dreamed of Ji Tingyang,” Ji Zeqiu said, his eyes flashing slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of embarrassment, “In the future, if you dream of me, it'll turn into a sweet dream.”

Lin Xu laughed softly, reaching out to ruffle his cheek, “Okay, if I dream again, I'll dream of you.”

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips, secretly lifting the corners in a smile.

At the school.

The teacher looked at the list in hand and said to the students arranged in several rows, “We'll divide into groups shortly for the 800-meter run test. Now, I will call out names to form one group…”

Yuqiao hung her head low, mindlessly kicking the pebbles at her feet.

The force was too strong for a moment, and the pebble flew out.

Yuqiao looked up and suddenly saw Xiao Yu not far away.

It seemed like their class was also having physical education class at this time, and two or three students were lined up in front for a running test.

It was unclear whether Xiao Yu had finished running or it wasn't his turn yet, as he was hiding in the shade of a tree to cool off.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Xiao Yu turned his head, and their eyes met.

Yuqiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his voice echoed in her mind again–“If you had to choose between me and your brother, who would you choose?”

At that moment, her mind went blank; she couldn't say a word and eventually fled in panic.

She had always been puzzled why Xiao Yu would say such a thing, and even after thinking over it for several days, she didn't know how to answer his question.

Subconsciously, she found herself not very keen on seeing him, fearing he would pursue her for an answer.

This was the first time she didn't want to see Xiao Yu.

Previously, when Yuqiao wanted to see him, it was always hard to run into him at school, but now that she didn't want to, she seemed to encounter him unintentionally all the time.

Yuqiao stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Xiao Yu.

“Yuqiao, Yuqiao!” a voice as loud as a bell called her back to her senses.

The teacher looked at her displeased, “What are you daydreaming about? I've called you so many times and you didn't hear. Come over for the test; it's your turn.”

“Ah, yes!” Yuqiao immediately went over.

With the teacher's whistle, Yuqiao and a few female classmates sprinted out from the starting line.

Whether it was from running too hard or something else, Yuqiao began to feel a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, and her running pace slowed down.

Just then, a female classmate caught up from behind and said to her, “Yuqiao, there's something dirty on the back of your pants.”

Yuqiao looked back in confusion and saw the glaringly obvious bloodstain on her white sports pants.

Her head buzzed, and her mind turned completely blank in an instant.

The whispers around her kept growing louder, like lines of mockery drilling into her ears, making her feel utterly humiliated.

Yuqiao stood there petrified, her hands and feet turning ice cold.

Almost instinctively, she looked at Xiao Yu, who was cooling off in the shade of the tree.

Xiao Yu seemed to notice her predicament as well, frowning as he looked over.

Yuqiao's heart swelled with hope, hoping he would come to help her as he had in the past and take her away from here…

However, Xiao Yu averted his gaze indifferently, his eyes nearly closed, as if resting, showing no intention of coming to help her.

Yuqiao turned pale and walked stiffly toward the edge of the track field, heading towards the teacher.

Would the teacher mock her as well…

If she asked for leave, what would happen to her physical test…

Her lips trembled slightly, unsure of what to say.

At that moment, a hand landed on Yuqiao's shoulder.

A clear voice sounded in her ear, softly comforting her, “You don't need to be so scared, nobody will laugh at you.”
