"Xiaolan, go back to your room first, close the door, I'll be up in a bit."
Ji Mo instructed the little girl briefly before quickly carrying the still-stunned Ye Qiao downstairs.
He didn't speak again until they reached downstairs.
"That girl is Pei Ruoxi's sister. After she found out her daughter went to jail, her father got so distressed he ended up in the hospital and hasn't recovered yet. Her mother really doesn't have the time to come over, so they sent her to check on Pei Ruoxi, bringing her sister some clothes and food. The young girl didn't know whom to contact and eventually called my phone. I was afraid something might happen to her since she's only sixteen and this was her first time traveling far, so I picked her up from the train station. She didn't even know how to use the power card in the hotel, so I thought it safer to let her stay at my place while I stayed in a hotel."
