Chapter 1127: Don't Count on Him to Uphold Justice

To make the other party work for her wholeheartedly, Bai Yufei even promised to give her a generous severance payment.

Thinking of the severance payment, the short-haired maid hardened her heart, lowered her eyes, and said, "That's right, it was me who deliberately framed Xiao'an!"

Xiao'an was astonished by her admission and pressed, "Why did you do this?!"

"Because... I'm jealous of you. You're clearly not as smart or sensible as I am, yet you're deeply favored by the Madam, and the Master always praises you, and you even get more bonuses! This isn't fair!!!"

The short-haired maid had harbored resentment in her heart all along.

Now that she had started complaining, she simply took this opportunity to vent to her heart's content!

Then... she slumped powerlessly onto the floor, her eyes vacant.

This time, the housekeeper did not speak up for anyone else, but instead asked Liu Xin'ai, "Madam, is it still necessary to call the police?"

"Since the matter has already been cleared up, there is no need. Settle the wages for this maid and have her leave immediately."

"Yes."

Liu Xin'ai turned her head and looked at the sullen-faced Bai Yufei, saying, "Fei'er, don't feel pressured either; after all, you only 'accidentally' believed the slander."

Bai Yufei's eyes flickered, and she said weakly, "Thank you for your understanding, Sister-in-law. Then, as for my brother..."

"I will not tell him."

Having received this assurance, Bai Yufei patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

The expression on her face also returned to being coquettish, and she said thankfully, "That's a relief, otherwise if my brother knew, he would scold me for being stupid again. Thank you, Sister-in-law!"

"You're welcome, but in the future, you must never be so rash."

"Mm, I know."

Bai Yufei responded with a smile, and then returned to her room.

But the moment the room door closed, her face immediately sank.

Color.

She slammed her fist against the tabletop in frustration!

Damn Liu Xin'ai, she is too meddlesome!

If she hadn't interfered, Xiao'an could have been driven out today!

Bai Yufei's breathing was rapid, and a cold, sinister light flashed in her eyes.

Ever since she found out it was Xiao'an who used a trick to make Qin Yiyan see her hitting someone, Bai Yufei had hated Xiao'an.

She had even wanted to teach Xiao'an a lesson.

But she didn't expect it to be ruined by Liu Xin'ai!

And it even left her unable to step down in public!!!

Bai Yufei could not swallow this insult, and she muttered, "Liu Xin'ai, let's wait and see!"

On the other side, Xiao'an was still in a state of lingering fear.

The more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt; at the same time, she thanked Liu Xin'ai with a look of relief: "Madam, thank you so much. Just now I really thought I was going to be driven away. It's a good thing you came to uphold justice!"

Liu Xin'ai patted Xiao'an on the shoulder and comforted her, "Alright, everything is fine now."

Xiao'an nodded, then asked, "But, why did you suddenly come back?"

"I left some documents at home, and you didn't answer when I called you, so I came back myself."

Liu Xin'ai was very glad she had made the trip back, otherwise...

Xiao'an would truly have had grievances she couldn't voice!

Liu Xin'ai thought of Bai Yufei's actions and couldn't help but frown.

Bai Yufei was truly becoming more and more excessive, and unscrupulous as well.

If she wasn't restrained, she would definitely go from bad to worse!

As for what happened at home today, even if she didn't say anything, Qin Yiyan would eventually know.

At that time... would Qin Yiyan have the heart to reprimand his precious sister?

And Liu Xin'ai's guess was not wrong.

The dispute that occurred at home soon reached Qin Yiyan's ears.

But Qin Yiyan was shocked.

In his impression, Liu Xin'ai was only

a dull and uninteresting person.

And she would carry her grievances alone.

He didn't expect...

that she would actually resist!

It's just... that it was actually for a maid?

Did that little maid have such an important place in her heart?

It was truly incomprehensible!

And also...

It was hard for Qin Yiyan not to connect the old grudge between Bai Yufei and Xiao'an with today's events!

After getting off work, Qin Yiyan went straight to Bai Yufei's room.

He intended to talk to her.

As a result, the moment Bai Yufei looked up...

"Fei'er, your eyes... why are they so swollen?"

He saw that Bai Yufei's eyes were red and swollen; it looked like she had been crying for a long time.

Seeing Qin Yiyan, Bai Yufei's tears fell again, and she choked out, "I made a mistake again today, Brother. I listened to slander and wronged a good person!"

"Alright, stop crying for now."

It would have been better if Qin Yiyan hadn't tried to console her; the moment he did, Bai Yufei cried even louder.

She even wallowed in self-pity, saying, "How can I be so stupid? I can't do anything right, and I even let a maid twist me around her finger! Someone like me, what right do I have to go to the company to learn with you? I'm just incredibly stupid!"

Seeing his younger sister crying until she was out of breath, Qin Yiyan had no choice but to comfort her first.

Handing a tissue to Bai Yufei, Qin Yiyan said helplessly, "Don't say that; you just trust others too easily."

"That just makes it easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage! Besides, so many people saw me make a fool of myself today; I really have no face to see anyone!"

"But if you correct your mistakes, no one will laugh at you."

"Then Brother, will you laugh at me?"

Qin Yiyan's expression was gentle as he smiled and said, "How could I? If you are wrong, I will help you correct it."

"Thank you, Brother. I knew you were the best to me." In Bai Yufei's eyes

, there was a glimmer of starlight.

"But you really need to grow up as soon as possible and mature in your thinking, so that you won't be so petty about unimportant things."

Qin Yiyan was giving Bai Yufei a hint.

Bai Yufei naturally understood.

But she still pretended to be naive and nodded gently.

Seeing Bai Yufei stop crying, Qin Yiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately felt that today was not a good time for a conversation.

Otherwise, if Bai Yufei kept crying...

He would really have a headache.

Thinking this, Qin Yiyan patted Bai Yufei on the head and said, "Aren't you going to the company with me tomorrow? You can't cry anymore, or else when others see your swollen eyes, they'll know you're a crybaby."

These words made Bai Yufei pout her red lips and complain coquettishly, "Brother only knows how to tease me!"

The siblings were talking in the room.

Liu Xin'ai happened to be passing by the door.

She even heard a couple of sentences.

But just from those two sentences, she could deduce that Qin Yiyan knew something, and furthermore...

He had no intention of looking into it deeply!

Liu Xin'ai tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Heh!

They were indeed family.

Even when Bai Yufei made a mistake, Qin Yiyan only raised his hand high to strike, but let it fall gently.

So... there was no point in expecting Qin Yiyan to uphold justice!

It was impossible!

Liu Xin'ai lowered her eyes and left the doorway silently.

……

At noon—

After a busy morning, Liu Xin'ai had finished her lunch and came to sit on a bench outside the laboratory building for a while.

While relaxing, she also breathed in some fresh air.

Xiao'an was by Liu Xin'ai's side.

Thinking of something, she suddenly asked, "Madam, would you like some coffee? A new coffee takeout shop opened nearby, and it looks quite good."

"Sure."

"Then please wait a moment

!"

Xiao'an went to buy coffee for Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes, enjoying the warm, glowing sunlight at that moment.

Just then—

Someone suddenly sat down beside Liu Xin'ai.
