Chapter 1132: In Front of Her, Not Daring to Lie

~7 min read 1,360 words

Bai Yufei felt a sense of disdain toward Xu Xiaoxiao.

She even joked, "My sister-in-law is so beautiful; surely there must be many suitors at school, right?"

"There are indeed many, but it's of no use, because her mind is only on her studies."

"Oh? Wouldn't that be very boring?"

Bai Yufei still wanted to take the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks.

But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't give her that chance; with a smile, she spoke first:

"When you are sick, you will know how precious such 'boredom' is, because medical progress is achieved precisely by many 'boring' people who follow one another in succession."

Actually, Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't said anything excessive.

But she had used just a few words to reveal Bai Yufei's shortsightedness and emptiness of thought...

Bai Yufei was not stupid, and she sensed the sarcasm.

Her smile froze on her face instantly!

Yet she was unwilling to give up; she twitched the corner of her mouth and countered, "That is very true, and having a doctor in the family also brings peace of mind; when I had an allergy a while ago, it was my sister-in-law who took care of me."

By saying this, Bai Yufei was telling Xu Xiaoxiao:

No matter how outstanding you are, once you return to the family, you must still serve the family members!

No one will look up to you!!

Xu Xiaoxiao looked straight at Bai Yufei, and her calm expression slowly changed.

Then she put on a worried look and asked, "Then your allergy must have been very serious; did you have to be issued a critical condition notice? Otherwise, how could it have required our Xin'ai to take action?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's words made Bai Yufei's expression stiffen once again.

But it also made Liu Xin'ai almost laugh out loud.

Her best friend was still the same—never letting anyone off the hook when she had the upper hand.

But with her around, there was no need to worry about being taken advantage of.

Yet Bai Yufei was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.

This woman, Xu Xiaoxiao... she was truly an eyesore!

And she was completely different from Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai couldn't be bothered to defend herself even when she was wronged.

But Xu Xiaoxiao...

She wouldn't take even the slightest grievance and would strike back on the spot!

It was truly annoying!!!

Qin Yiyan, however, quite appreciated someone with Xu Xiaoxiao's personality.

After the initial awkwardness, he even took the initiative to chat with Xu Xiaoxiao.

While chatting, Qin Yiyan was refined and gentlemanly, radiating charm from head to toe.

He was also very attentive to Liu Xin'ai.

But from the conversation just now, Xu Xiaoxiao discovered:

These few people... all had problems!

After the meal, Liu Xin'ai should have gone home with Qin Yiyan.

But Xu Xiaoxiao reached out and put her arm around Liu Xin'ai's shoulder, smiling as she said to Qin Yiyan, "Xin'ai and I haven't finished talking yet; I wonder if I could borrow Xin'ai for a while and let her sit at my apartment for a bit longer?"

"Of course, I'll drive you."

"There's no need for a ride; it's not far from here to my apartment, so walking is fine—consider it helping digestion."

"Alright then," Qin Yiyan looked at Liu Xin'ai again, his tone gentle:

"When you want to go home, call me, and I'll have the driver come pick you up."

Liu Xin'ai nodded gently and left with Xu Xiaoxiao.

Qin Yiyan watched the two walk away, his expression sinking immediately.

And with a stern face, he questioned Bai Yufei: "What is going on with those photos!?"

Bai Yufei knew she would be questioned!

Fortunately, while eating, she had already thought of an excuse.

She immediately said with an innocent face, "It really was just a friend taking random pictures!"

"Taking random pictures, yet they could be that clear, and every single shot was centered on Xin'ai!?"

Qin Yiyan suddenly raised his voice!

A sense of oppression arose abruptly!!!

Bai Yufei was a little frightened.

But she would never tell the truth even if it killed her, so she could only continue to lie: "Because sister-in-law is beautiful; nowadays some people like to take pictures of beauties on the street and post them online to attract traffic. Of course, this is wrong, and I will advise this friend of mine."

"No need to advise; I will track this person down and make them pay the legal price!"

Bai Yufei was startled inside: "Brother..."

"This matter is not up for discussion; get in the car!"

Qin Yiyan got into the car first, his face gloomy.

Bai Yufei bit her lip and had no choice but to follow him in.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the road, Liu Xin'ai and Xu Xiaoxiao had already walked some distance.

The moonlight tonight was beautiful.

Walking in the moonlight, they both felt very relaxed.

But Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke seriously: "Woman, let's talk."

"

Liu Xin'ai was just relaxing when she heard Xu Xiaoxiao's words and was suddenly stunned:

"Say what?"

"Of course, I'm talking about explaining your husband's situation! Although I admit he is a very charming man, when he dragged you away without a word, his movements were practiced and irritable. It's clear he hasn't done this to you just once!"

"

Xu Xiaoxiao was truly an expert in psychology.

Her observations were meticulous.

Liu Xin'ai was so flustered she didn't know how to respond!

But based on past experience, she absolutely could not lie.

Because Xu Xiaoxiao would definitely analyze even more of the truth based on the loopholes in her words...

Rubbing her temples, Liu Xin'ai felt somewhat weary.

Afterward, she said vaguely: "He has been busy with work lately, his temper is a bit irritable, and besides, whose home isn't a mess?"

"Is the person making the mess Qin Yiyan... or Bai Yufei?"

Xu Xiaoxiao did not give Liu Xin'ai a chance to be vague.

And she was gradually approaching the truth!

Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

She thought to herself that there was no way to avoid this topic today!

In fact, Xu Xiaoxiao had already deduced the result based on Liu Xin'ai's reaction.

She crossed her arms and drew a conclusion: "So it has to do with both of them. I just noticed earlier that Qin Yiyan's younger sister is not someone to be trifled with!"

That was true.

Bai Yufei was arrogant and unreasonable, always able to easily turn the household upside down.

Thinking of the various disturbances that had occurred in the house since Bai Yufei moved in, Liu Xin'ai wanted to sigh.

But she held it back.

She even tried to evaluate it with a calm and objective attitude: "My sister-in-law is actually quite well-behaved in front of the family; I feel... she just simply doesn't like me."

If it were just a simple dislike, then Xu Xiaoxiao would have nothing to say.

And she certainly wouldn't meddle.

After all, everyone has the freedom to dislike someone.

But just looking at that girl's arrogant demeanor, Xu Xiaoxiao could tell with her eyes closed that she would definitely pull some underhanded tricks!

Thinking of her good friend being targeted, Xu Xiaoxiao was furious!

!

And whenever she got angry, relevant images would constantly flash rapidly through her mind.

Then...

A certain image froze!

After carefully pondering it, Xu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Xin'ai a question: "Are you sure Bai Yufei and Qin Yiyan have no blood relation?"

"Yes, Fei'er was raised by my parents-in-law from a very young age, just like their own daughter."

"Like their own daughter? So she isn't their biological daughter, then. This...

makes a world of difference."

Liu Xin'ai heard Xu Xiaoxiao's muttering.

But she didn't understand what she meant by those words.

She just felt... as if there were a hidden meaning.

Before Liu Xin'ai could figure anything out, Xu Xiaoxiao asked again: "How is the relationship between the two siblings?"

"Very good, Fei'er likes to cling to her brother."

"Just clinging? Is there any... desire to monopolize her brother?

"
