Marry Me Quick

Chapter 785

Chapter 785 Acknowledging Ancestry

Su Yige's face stiffened as she clutched her bag tightly. She couldn't be bothered to conceal her discomfort and said, "See you."

She hurriedly departed without waiting for An Xia to say anything.

Thinking Su Yige was behaving strangely, she turned to look at the retreating figure and found her bumping into the corner of a table from walking too fast. An Xia winced at the sight of it, but Su Yige didn't even pause for a moment. In fact, she even ran away.

An Xia was puzzled, wondering what was going on with Su Yige. It was like she was being chased by a ghost.

At that, she turned to Bai Yeqi and noticed that he was holding his phone with one hand, as if sending a message to someone, with an unreadable expression on his face.

Could it be that Bai Yeqi spooked Su Yige?

An Xia pondered for a moment, then asked, "Yeqi, what did you say to her just now?"

"Nothing," Bai Yeqi replied indifferently.

Seeing An Xia's suspicious look, he added, "I didn't have a chance to say anything before you came."

An Xia didn't want him to misunderstand, so she said, "I didn't mean anything by it."

"Mm."

The two of them weren't very familiar with each other, but because of what had happened, An Xia thought Bai Yeqi wasn't as difficult to approach as she had initially thought.

Still, that was as far as it went.

An Xia cleared her throat awkwardly and mentioned, "Are you leaving now? I'm about to leave too."

"I still have some things to take care of," Bai Yeqi said, then asked her, "How are you going back?"

An Xia sensed a hint of concern in his words and shook her head, saying, "I'll take a taxi back; it's convenient. You go ahead and take care of your business."

Bai Yeqi nodded and didn't say anything more.

On her way back, An Xia kept pondering, feeling that Bai Yeqi and Su Yige were acting strangely. However, logically speaking, they shouldn't know each other.

Bai Yeqi didn't immediately leave either after An Xia left. Instead, he sat quietly and ordered a cup of coffee for himself.


Not long after, his phone rang.

Bai Yeqi answered the call and casually said, "No need to alarm her. Just have two people follow her. You come back."

It was unclear what the person on the other end said, but Bai Yeqi replied with a simple 'Mm' before hanging up.

…

An Xia coincidentally ran into Bai Yunan, who was leaving, when she returned to the Bai Residence.

She stopped in her tracks and called out, "Yunan."

Bai Yunan didn't stop his steps. Instead, he only glanced at her and nodded in acknowledgment.

Suddenly, Kun came to An Xia's head.

The kidnapper was shot dead by Bai Yunan, and she was saved, but she never asked about the aftermath because of the lingering fear. However, Kun behaved as if he knew her, making her curious.

"Yunan, I… I have something to ask you."

Bai Yunan halted and turned to look at An Xia, who seemed eager to speak.

He seemed to be in a rush, for he checked the time on his wristwatch before asking her, "What is it?"

"It's about Kun. Did you find out anything about him? He seemed to act like he knew me before," she asked, looking nervously at Bai Yunan, who frowned and pondered for a moment before replying, "He was from Yunzhou City in Cheng'an County. He dropped out of the primary school affiliated with County No.1 Middle School in fifth grade and spent a few years as a small-time thug in Cheng'an County. After that, he left Cheng'an County and joined Gricy's gang."

At that, he paused for a moment and asked An Xia, "Does that ring a bell?"

An Xia nodded thoughtfully, "I'm also from Cheng'an County."

Bai Yunan had other things to attend to, so he didn't linger and left.

Whether Kun and An Xia knew each other in the past wasn't something he cared about. After all, Kun was already dead; these details no longer mattered.

Meanwhile, An Xia walked absentmindedly toward her room.

She remembered that year when she encountered a group of people beating up a young thief on her way home from school.

She couldn't remember exactly how old she was at the time. Was it thirteen? Fourteen?

The thief seemed to be about her age and was being brutally beaten, his face covered in blood.

After the attackers left, cursing and grumbling, An Xia felt both scared and sorry for the young thief. She hid nearby and watched for a long time, noticing that he never got up. After hesitating for a moment, she went over and dragged him to a nearby clinic.

An Xia's family had become well-off at that point, and she had a lot of pocket money, so she had the money to pay for his medical expenses.

After that, she never saw him again.

It had been so long that she couldn't remember what he looked like. She vaguely recalled some features, and they resembled Kun.

With these thoughts in mind, An Xia arrived at the door of her room.

She pushed the door open and sat quietly on the sofa for a long time.

It had been many years since that incident, and she had long forgotten about the bloody, brutally beaten young boy. Little did she expect that they would cross paths again after so many years.

Kun probably recognized her early on, or he wouldn't have stopped Lao Wu from touching her.

If it weren't for Kun's protection, she might've already been…

It was an ironic assumption, yet an undeniable fact.

As the ancients said, "Good deeds will be rewarded."
