Stick With The Cold Female lead

Chapter 8 ''Want to repay kindness''

Since the others are unwilling to move, they can only go over there. Su Yi endured the discomfort, letting Yan Shen push her out to take a look.

It was almost noon, and the sun in Fengcheng's early summer was scorching. At the entrance guarded by two guards, a thin and weak body, so fragile that it seemed to fall with a gust of wind, stood out conspicuously.

She was dressed in rags, her face was sallow, clearly suffering from long-term malnutrition.

The guards at the Su residence were still trying to persuade her to leave. She stood with her back straight, stubbornly shaking her head, not saying a word. But when she saw Ji Qingchi appear at the door, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shakily stood up and ran towards her.

The two guards didn't expect that the stubborn girl would suddenly run so fast. They were momentarily caught off guard. By the time she ran to Suyi, they hurried over, apologizing, "Miss, she ran so fast just now, we didn't expect it..."

"I understand. You can leave now," Su Yi said weakly.

"Yes."

Although Su Yi let them go, she was the treasure of the Su family. How could they allow a stranger to approach Su Yi? They stepped back a few paces but remained close to Suyi, fearing that this mute girl would do something reckless.

Ye Shui was overjoyed to see Ji Qingchi. As she stood in front of her, she kept looking her up and down, worried she might be hurt.

"How did the benefactor come to this place? Don't worry about me. My wife treats me very well."

Ji Qingchi timely leaned towards Su Yi, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Ye Shui saved her, and also took great care of her for a long time. The young girl was worried about her, and traveled tens of miles to come and see her. Her lips were peeling from the scorching sun outside. Ji Qingchi looked at her with kind eyes. Ji Qingchi felt a deep sense of gratitude and vowed to repay her kindness.

Moreover, she still had something hidden in Ye Shui's house that she hadn't taken.

With this thought, she smiled and introduced Su Yi to Ye Shui, "This is my wife. She treats me well and makes all the decisions for me."

As she spoke, she timely revealed a hint of shyness on her face, making Su Yi awkward, not knowing where to put her hands. For no apparent reason, the conversation shifted to her.

Ye Shui was initially immersed in the joy of seeing her, but upon hearing her words, she felt both sad and comforted. Sad that she had married someone else, and comforted that Ji Qingchi said Su Yi treated her well.

Following her words, she looked at Su Yi. When she saw the luxurious silk and satin on Suyi's body and remembered her own ragged clothes, the courage she had when forcefully entering the Su residence suddenly vanished. Unconsciously, she took a step back.

Su Yi noticed her hesitation, cleared her throat, and then gently asked, "My husband, who is this young lady?"

"This is my benefactor." Ji Qingchi then repeated the story she had fabricated in the village for her to hear.

"Cough... Since she is husband benefactor, she is also the benefactor of our Su residence. Miss Ye, it's getting late. Would you like to come in for a meal?"

Su Yi casually mentioned that the young girl in front of her, named Ye Shui, had a deep impression in the book. Orphaned at a young age, she saved the female lead during a mountain herb-picking trip. The female lead was grateful, so she kept her by her side, had someone teach her martial arts, and eventually, she became Ji Qingchi's personal bodyguard. Ye Shui was very grateful to Ji Qingchi, always protecting her whenever Ji Qingchi was in trouble. In one instance when Ji Qingchi was attacked, Ye Shui was the one who stood in front, shielding Ji Qingchi from everything.
