The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 74: I Can’t Ignore Him

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: I Can’t Ignore Him
"We... we were worried about you."
The two of them answered in unison.
"What could possibly happen to me? Get back home, quick!" Ning Xiuyuan waved his hand, looking completely impatient.
Qiao Qiqi stood quietly at the side, Jiang Yibo and Fu Xinjing looked at her gratefully, and Qiao Qiqi said, "Get in the car, I’ll take you back."
"No need, no need." The two of them hurriedly waved their hands.
"It’s hard to get a cab at this hour, I’ll drive you." Qiao Qiqi walked to the car, opened the car door, and signaled for them to get in.
The two boys didn’t move, looking towards Ning Xiuyuan, clearly waiting for his cue.
"Get in the car!" Ning Xiuyuan noticed that his two brothers were also injured, with Jiang Yibo barely able to stand straight.
Following their leader’s command, the two quickly got into the car, while Qiao Qiqi sat in the front passenger seat, and Ning Xiuyuan got in last, closing the car door.
"My brother." Qiao Qiqi introduced to the three in the back.
Jiang Yibo and Fu Xinjing immediately greeted Qiao Jiezhe, while Ning Xiuyuan stayed silent, leaning back and closing his eyes.
Qiao Qiqi glanced at him, first asking the two boys for their address, and Qiao Jiezhe didn’t ask further questions, focusing on driving and dropping them home.
The car continued on, and Ning Xiuyuan opened his eyes, saying somewhat impatiently, "Stop the car, I want to get out!"
"I said I’d take you home!" Qiao Qiqi took out her phone and started playing, ignoring the boys in the back.
Ning Xiuyuan’s face was full of hostility, and Qiao Jiezhe glanced nervously at his sister, truly admiring her courage—this kid obviously didn’t seem like a good person and might actually hit someone if provoked.
While driving, he kept an eye on the boy behind, making sure that if anything happened, he’d prioritize his sister’s safety.
Fortunately, except for the initial disgruntled expression, the boy slumped back, pretending to sleep.
The car drove into a rather rundown old neighborhood, and the bumpy road made the ride somewhat shaky.
"My house is just ahead, stop the car!"
Qiao Jiezhe stepped on the brakes, parking by the roadside and looking at his sister. Qiao Qiqi said nothing, and Ning Xiuyuan pushed the door open and quickly walked away.
Qiao Jiezhe couldn’t take it anymore, lowered the window, and angrily said, "My sister came out so late to bail you out and give you and your friend a ride home, and this is how you act?"
"Who asked her to meddle!" Ning Xiuyuan paused and coldly replied.
"You..." Qiao Jiezhe was furious, wanting to hit someone, but Qiao Qiqi immediately grabbed him and said, "Bro, wait for me here for a while."
"Where are you going? You’re not thinking of helping this guy, are you?" Qiao Jiezhe looked at his sister incredulously; the guy had already spoken so harshly, could his sister really still intend to help him?
"Bro, he has also helped me, you could say he saved me; I can’t just ignore him." After Qiao Qiqi finished speaking, she pushed open the car door and quickly chased in the direction Ning Xiuyuan disappeared.
Ning Xiuyuan opened the door and wanted to sneak back to his room, but after just a couple of steps, the living room lights turned on. He frowned at his mother, asking, "Why aren’t you resting this late?"
"Xiuyuan, you... you went fighting again? Didn’t you promise me you’d focus on studying?" Ning’s mother looked at her son covered in blood, her face turning white with fear, feeling a sense of helplessness rising in her heart.
"I’m fine, go get some rest." Ning Xiuyuan said and then lowered his head, heading towards his room.
