Chapter 52.2: Freedom (2)
Ji Qingying paused to gather her thoughts before saying, When I was in my senior year, my grandma was also hospitalized for a long ti.
At that ti, Ji Qingying felt like the sky was falling.
Her design had just been accused of plagiarism, and so students in the sa class as her started to talk behind her back. Their judgntal eyes and pointing fingers, it wasnt as if she was blind to it all.
Even the teachers were disappointed with her.
In addition, a prospective internship she was interested in got tipped off by soone, and had thus rescinded their invitation, reasoning that they didnt want a designer that could only plagiarize.
The company that had previously wanted to win her over and was kind to her was now avoiding her.
As for the competition, she was even disqualified.
That was the first ti she felt the reality sink in. She finally understood what being betrayed by ones relatives really feels like.
Even so of her schoolmates who were kind to her, no longer appeared in her contact list, just because of that matter.
But the most frustrating thing of all was actually the phone call which inford her that her grandmother had been
Ji Qingying was in her dormitory at the ti, but she ran downstairs as soon as she received the call.
She went down haphazardly, even skipping several stairs. It was only because Chen Xinyu had grabbed her imdiately that she didnt get into an accident herself.
While Chen Xinyu stopped her, Chi Lu inford their school imdiately after. The two accompanied her back to Jiang City to go to the hospital.
At that mont, Ji Qingyings hands and feet felt cold, and her face was paler than normal.
To the extent that Chen Xinyu could only joke about that ti when they got together.
She said that her expression back then scared them both.
That was the ti that Ji Qingying had realized that the struggle was aningless, and the light of her world was disappearing, and that her faith had been broken.
The world was full of injustice.
She returned to Jiang City to accompany her grandmother in the hospital.
Noticing her unhappiness, her grandma didnt even ask, before telling her that if she wasnt happy about sothing, then dont do it. That she ought to follow her heart and just do whatever she wants.
After her grandmother was discharged, Ji Qingying headed back to school.
She ended up not going into any internship, simply going back to her hotown to accompany her grandmother for a half a year, before opening her own studio, away from everything and everyone familiar with that incident.
It was okay to call her a coward or sothing similar.
At the ti, she felt that nothing was more important than her grandma.
She no longer cared about the consequences and just wanted to live quietly, to enjoy doing the things she loved.
Of course, it was also because, at the ti, she had no ability to fight back.
Fu Yanzhi stretched out his arms to pull her in an embrace, Why was she hospitalized?
Ji Qingying muttered a reply, Its just her high blood pressure and so other health problems. Shes old and overworked.
Fu Yanzhi then proceeded to brush her hair with his hand, You went back to stay with her?
Yes.
Ji Qingying rubbed her chest to try to relax her voice as much as possible, When we were in the hospital, seeing how busy the dical staff were really impressed .
Fu Yanzhi raised his brows inquisitively and joked, So, you went drinking with us because we impressed you?
Ji Qingying looked him straight in the eyes, Thats right.
Smiling, she said, You should also be thankful that there were no other handso doctors in the hospital at that ti, otherwise, I might have run away with soone else.
Fu Yanzhi:
He broke into laughter, before gently saying, Thats true! I will thank my parents the next ti I go ho.
Ji Qingying laughed as well.
Fu Yanzhi lowered his head and looked at her, before whispering, When your competition is over, lets go back to et your grandma.
Okay.
Then Ji Qingying added, Of course I have to visit her, or else shell scold
for being heartless.
Fu Yanzhi curved his lips.
They just stood there on the balcony for quite so ti. When Ji Qingying finally got tired, they went back inside to wash up and rest.
That night, Ji Qingying fell asleep in Fu Yanzhis arms.
Thinking of those past events, she had finally been able to face them calmly.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the third round of the competition.
On that day, Fu Yanzhi had personally escorted her there. Getting out of the car, Ji Qingying had asked him for a special
This round of the competition was even more intense than Ji Qingying had originally imagined.
Each person was assigned a room and the required design had to be made within a certain ti limit.
Because after this round was the finals.
Ji Qingying wasnt able to have any contact with Fu Yanzhi for rest of the competition as she spent all her ti on her design draft every day.
For her, cheongsams werent just a cultural dress, nor were they just retro.
They could be retro and trendy at the sa ti.
For three consecutive days, Ji Qingying basically never left her house and was always inside her room.
Only when she fastened the last frog fastener did she finally relax.
When Rongxue looked at the cheongsam on the mannequin, the tiredness in her eyes disappeared.
Sister Qingying, this is another big step forward.
