Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 284: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 9)
Nalan Ye Jue quietly faced the floor-to-ceiling window, waiting patiently for Qin Xin.
The Golden Diamond Corridor’s height of dozens of floors overlooked the scenery of the entire Imperial City.
The Imperial University was just dozens of kilometers to the right front.
Coming from the Imperial University, it was about a half-hour drive.
He wondered if she had set off yet?
How were her exam results? That clever little one should easily get full marks and an A-grade scholarship, right?
Her handsome short hair, would it be a bit messy from rushing to the engagement ceremony site?
Somehow, the image of her emerging from his bathroom, wearing his white shirt, almost being seen by that fool Bai Chi, came to mind.
At that time, the strands of hair on her forehead were slightly messy.
But very beautiful.
And that time in her dormitory, when he hugged her small waist, making her hat fall off, her short hair was also fluttering elegantly.
He had never seen a girl with short hair look so beautiful.
Unforgettable at first sight.
He waited patiently and never checked the time.
Being late didn’t matter to him, as long as she could come, he would wait.
Like all those in power, he was a person who valued time greatly. However, for her, he was willing to make an exception, willing to wait.
Until...
The phone suddenly rang.
Shattering the silence of the room.
He looked down.
The incoming number belonged to a young maid from the Nalan Family, who would never call lightly.
He remembered that she was specially assigned to take care of Lan Qingxin’s daily needs.
The Nalan Family was very strict with its rules.
Although this young maid had his number, she would never call him directly, because everything had a hierarchical procedure, and she should have called Secretary Lu first to report up the chain.
Unless...
Something catastrophic happened.
If she didn’t call him, time would be wasted.
Nalan Ye Jue’s face darkened, pressing answer: "Speak, what’s the matter."
On the other side, Xiangxiang stammered with a crying voice: "Young Master Jue... the young lady, she might have been in a car accident... died, sob sob sob sob...!"
Nalan Ye Jue’s breath caught: "Speak more clearly."
Xiangxiang was sobbing uncontrollably: "Young Master Jue, the young lady’s classmates said she left school by taxi, possibly heading back to the old house. Didn’t you have your engagement today? I think she might have been trying to see it, but unfortunately, there was a car accident halfway. Her classmates said she took that purple taxi, and the timing matches, her phone is also offline... check the news, it’s all been reported... the car’s completely smashed... sob sob, the young lady is really gone..."
From Xiangxiang’s chaotic account, Nalan Ye Jue managed to catch a few key words.
He hung up the call and quickly searched the news. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Soon, the tragic photos of a chain car crash appeared before his eyes.
He closed his eyes.
This sister, whom he hadn’t seen in half a year and watched grow up from childhood, unexpectedly caused such a major incident on the night of his engagement ceremony.
Nalan Ye Jue opened his eyes, first sending out a text message.
Then.
He turned the wheelchair and headed out, instructing the doorman: "Have Lu Yi prepare the car, I’m going out for a while."
Five minutes later.
He was already driving on the highway!
Heading straight for the direction of the Imperial University!
The accident site was on the only highway from Imperial University to the city center.
For a moment, he wondered if the accident had blocked traffic, affecting Qin Xin’s journey to the Golden Diamond Corridor for the engagement ceremony.
At the accident scene.
The appalling sight made his breath catch slightly.
