Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 160 - 158: If She Doesn’t Come, I’ll Jump Off!
As it was the weekend, after leaving the hotpot restaurant, some classmates directly took taxis home, some went back to school, and others had other weekend activities. After saying goodbye, everyone dispersed.
Around the corner, a figure hidden in the shadows trembled, silently following behind Jiayi and Su Yan.
Fearing discovery, Ye Shiman maintained a distance of over ten meters.
The street was too crowded, and it was not yet time to make a move...
She had to be patient...
Once the two girls reached the secluded alley up ahead, she would be able to take action, heh, hehe—
Veiled in the night, Ye Shiman couldn’t help but touch the fruit knife tucked away in her embrace.
Finally, the crowd on the streets thinned out, the clamor gradually faded, and they were now far from Gourmet Street.
Watching the two girls’ figures walking ahead, Ye Shiman wore a sinister smile and tiptoed forward to follow them.
As she walked, still several meters away, a dark silhouette flickered into Ye Shiman’s line of sight.
It was a man in a full set of black suit, his expression solemn, his movements efficient and agile. He followed about five or six meters behind Su Yan and Jiayi without being noticed by them, clearly professional.
Although the Ye family was not wealthy enough to afford a bodyguard, Ye Shiman had attended city wide banquets with her daddy and mommy and had seen some things.
The top-tier bodyguards accompanying the magnates to those banquets were all dressed and moved similarly to this man.
Clearly, that man had been following the two girls all along to protect them.
No, not to protect both of them, he must be there to protect one person—Qin Yi.
Because the male bodyguard’s gaze was fixed on Qin Yi the whole time!
Ye Shiman’s pupils constricted, and she stopped in her tracks, the sweat in her palms slowly drying.
If that man was indeed Qin Yi’s bodyguard, then approaching now would be walking into a trap. She would be caught by the man before she could even reach her!
But...
Why would that wretched girl have a bodyguard?
Wasn’t she just an orphan living in Liang Anya’s house?
It was said that she came from out of town and had no parents, otherwise, why would she be so close to an orphan like Su Yan.
And this bodyguard, with movements so professional and skilled, clearly seemed to be a top-notch hire!
Who exactly is this despicable person?
And who is the mastermind behind appointing someone to protect her?
Ye Shiman was shocked and puzzled, and though she was unwilling, she knew that now was definitely not a good opportunity to vent her rage.
She eventually threw the fruit knife in her embrace fiercely to the ground and turned to scurry away.

Several days later, the hustle and bustle of the design competition finally came to an end.
At night, after looking through the design albums for a while, Jiayi didn’t feel sleepy. She felt a sense of unease in her heart.
In the past few days, perhaps due to a woman’s sensitive sixth sense, she felt like someone was watching her, giving her the creeps.
But whenever she turned around, she saw no one.
Yesterday evening, after class, she went to buy a design magazine at a kiosk outside Jin University.
I had made my purchase and, clutching the magazine, turned around when a flash of deep blue seemed to whip past my field of vision; by the time I looked closely, no one was there.
A deep blue dress?
It seemed like the one Ye Shiman wore on the day she left school.
Could it be that Ye Shiman has been following me around near the school these past few days?
Jiayi felt somewhat uneasy, yet she didn’t overthink it. Perhaps she hadn’t quite calmed down from the commotion that had happened, even now.
Besides, it had been several days without incident.
She was probably just being paranoid.
At that moment, after flipping through the book for a while longer, night had fallen. Jiayi was finally getting sleepy and was about to close the book when she heard urgent knocking from outside!
Thud thud thud, each knock more urgent than the last!
Su Yan, who was closest to the door, opened it to find their homeroom teacher, Mr. Liu, and a counselor from their department.
The two of them were startled. What could it be, this late at night? They hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong, teacher?"
Teacher Liu was so anxious, sweat was dripping down his face: "Qin Yi, Ye Shiman sneaked into the school tonight during the guard shift change. She’s gone up to the rooftop of the teaching building, crying and threatening to jump. She won’t listen to anyone’s persuasion, insisting on seeing you. If you’re willing, come with us to the rooftop and try to talk her down."
Su Yan replied anxiously, "Mr. Liu, what does Ye Shiman’s threat to jump have to do with Xiaoyi? Why should she go?"
Mr. Liu wiped away some sweat: "We wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t necessary, but Ye Shiman, through tears and tantrums, insists on seeing Qin Yi. She said if she doesn’t see her within five minutes, she’ll jump. You all know, even though Ye Shiman has been expelled, if she jumps at her former school and something really happens, public opinion would be harsh, and our university would bear the responsibility!"
Su Yan became frantic: "But Ye Shiman hates Xiaoyi so much, calling Xiaoyi over... won’t there be trouble?"
The counselor looked at Jiayi: "Considering how Ye Shiman is behaving now, she doesn’t seem to harbor much hatred toward Qin Yi. She keeps repeating that she understands what you told her on the day she left school."
Jiayi’s eyes flashed. Could it be that Ye Shiman had come to a realization?
Regardless, it would be good to see Ye Shiman one last time and speak clearly, to feel at ease within herself.
Seeing the hopeful looks in the eyes of Teacher Liu and the counselor, Jiayi finally nodded: "I’ll go."
Su Yan, worried for her, put on her jacket, took her hand, and together with the teachers, they rushed toward the teaching building.
——
The fifteen-story teaching building stood under the night sky of Jinhua University.
On the edge of the rooftop, a deep blue dress fluttered, occasionally hanging over the low railing.
Ye Shiman sat on the edge, her face covered with tears: "Why, why hasn’t she come yet? If she doesn’t come soon, I’ll jump right now!"
The head of security, along with a few guards, was slowly moving towards the stand, cautiously persuading her, "She’s almost here, Mr. Liu and the counselor have gone to get her. Ye Shiman, please don’t do anything rash."
Ye Shiman’s tears lingered on her eyelashes, pausing her crying momentarily. Although her expression was still sorrowful, a subtle, almost imperceptible, sneer crossed her lips.
She had been probing for days, and that man indeed turned out to be a bodyguard, specifically assigned to protect that slut. He had been vigilantly guarding the gates of Jin University these days, following closely behind Qin Yi whenever she left, shielding her so tightly that not even a needle could get through.
Fine, if that slut had a bodyguard to protect her so she couldn’t be approached, then she would sneak into the school and lure that slut here herself!
The door to the rooftop swung open with a "boom", and Mr. Liu along with the counselor rushed in, flanked by the two girls.
Ye Shiman’s sneer grew more pronounced, and she stood up, leaning forward a few centimeters, until half of her body was beyond the railing, eliciting a scream from everyone!
Mr. Liu shouted, "Ye Shiman, Qin Yi is here, don’t be foolish!"
Ye Shiman, tears in her eyes, looked toward Jiayi: "You came. I’ve been thinking about what you said these past few days. I’ve been wondering whether I was wrong, or if it was you who misspoke. And I realized, indeed, it was me who was wrong."
