Chapter 1161: Just Want to End This Matter as Soon as Possible

Xu Xiaoxiao sent a short reply on her phone.

Afterwards, she explained to Chi Rong with a hint of helplessness: "I have a friend who recently ran into some trouble; if she doesn't contact me again, I'm going to call the police."

"Did she run into some troublesome matter?"

"Indeed."

"Do you need my help?"

Truth be told, this matter actually had a bit to do with Chi Rong.

But as for asking for help...

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and refused: "No need, I will help her settle it."

Chi Rong did not insist, only saying: "If you need anything, you can come find me."

"Okay."

Having eaten enough, the two walked out of the restaurant together.

And they made an appointment for the next time to see an art exhibition.

As they were about to part ways, Chi Rong looked at the young woman before her, feeling very moved: "I am very lucky to have met you, a friend across generations."

Xu Xiaoxiao was all smiles.

But inside, she felt self-reproach.

Because her meeting with Chi Rong... had another purpose.

However, this annoyance could be discussed later.

Xu Xiaoxiao parted ways with Chi Rong and immediately called Liu Xin'ai.

That message from just now had been sent by Liu Xin'ai.

She wanted Xu Xiaoxiao to clear some time to call her back.

Now that the call was connected, Xu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and asked: "Is your cold better?"

Liu Xin'ai felt very guilty and mumbled: "Mm."

"Then can I go see you now?"

"Of course, but I have something I need to ask for your help with."

The voice Liu Xin'ai used to speak was very weak.

It was clearly a sign of lacking vital energy.

This made Xu Xiaoxiao frown involuntarily, and she asked: "You aren't actually sick, are you?"

Liu Xin'ai was not sick.

It was just that...

The reason for this was truly impossible to explain, so she had to say: "I am indeed feeling a bit uncomfortable."

Xu Xiaoxiao could sense Liu Xin'ai's hesitation.

It seemed there were some things that needed to be discussed in person.

Thinking of the reason for making this call to Liu Xin'ai, Xu Xiaoxiao spoke first:

"Are you looking for me to ask about the lawyer? I've already consulted one; a divorce case like yours that doesn't involve property division isn't troublesome to handle. Even if Qin Yiyan is unwilling, it's useless. Once the cooling-off period passes, the court will grant your divorce."

Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Xin'ai gripped her phone tightly, unable to help herself.

Then she asked: "How did you know... that Qin Yiyan doesn't agree to the divorce?"

"

"Because I met with him, and he also knows that I found a lawyer for you."

What, he actually... knew!?

Liu Xin'ai was extremely nervous, and her throat felt a bit dry.

She even had a bad premonition in her heart!

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xin'ai tentatively asked: "You... didn't get into an argument with him, did you?"

"Why would I argue with him?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was genuinely confused.

And her calm tone made Liu Xin'ai relax.

Now she could be certain of one thing: Bai Yufei had not blabbed and told Xu Xiaoxiao about her situation.

As long as she hadn't said anything, the situation wouldn't worsen further.

And Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be dragged into it!

Noticing that there was no sound from Liu Xin'ai's end, Xu Xiaoxiao asked: "Hello, Xin'ai? Is the signal bad, did you not hear me?"

Having regained her composure, Liu Xin'ai took the opportunity to say: "Mm, indeed. I was just saying... Qin Yiyan is stubborn, and I was afraid you two would start arguing if you didn't see eye to eye."

"

Xu Xiaoxiao curled her lip and agreed: "That guy is indeed stubborn, dead set on not divorcing you."

"But some things aren't up to him!"

"That goes without saying; our fate can only be held in our own hands!"

"

Xu Xiaoxiao thought of something else and asked Liu Xin'ai: "How is the relationship with Qin Yiyan's parents?"

"Not bad."

"That assessment... is a bit superficial."

"I'd like to say more, but I can't. After all, there are few opportunities for contact, and what I can see is only what's on the surface."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that made some sense and nodded lightly.

Then she asked, "What about the relationship between Qin Yiyan and his parents?"

"It's not bad."

"Those three words again? You have more contact with Qin Yiyan than I do!"

"

"But he doesn't contact his parents in front of me on a daily basis, so my impression is just that it's not bad."

This... well, it's true that there's nothing to pick at.

Xu Xiaoxiao really wanted to sigh.

Because she hadn't been able to get any useful information.

But Liu Xin'ai on the other end of the phone felt it was strange, so she asked, "Why are you interested in Qin Yiyan's parents?"

"Because..."

Xu Xiaoxiao really wanted to tell Liu Xin'ai about Chi Rong.

But her professional ethics prevented her from speaking.

She could only vaguely say, "I'm just curious what kind of family could raise Qin Yiyan to have such a stubborn personality."

To this, Liu Xin'ai's answer was, "No one raised him that way, Qin Yiyan is just like that by nature!"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't think so.

She knew that one's family of origin has a great influence on a person.

But Liu Xin'ai didn't want to go off-topic anymore, so she returned to the main point: "I called you mainly because... I want you to help me buy something!"

"Mm, no problem, go ahead."

Liu Xin'ai spoke the name of a medicine into the phone.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment before she realized: "Contraceptive pills?!"

"Yes, you must find a way to get them to me tomorrow!"

Liu Xin'ai's tone was very urgent.

She looked very anxious.

Thinking back to the injuries on Qin Yiyan's face...

Xu Xiaoxiao immediately furrowed her brows: "Did Qin Yiyan force himself on you?!"

Liu Xin'ai gripped her hand tightly and didn't speak.

She was a bit... unsure of how to start explaining.

And her silence was equivalent to an admission!

Xu Xiaoxiao was clearly angry, her breathing rapid: "That's illegal! Let's keep the evidence and report him!"

"Xiao Xiao..."

Xu Xiaoxiao sensed Liu Xin'ai's hesitation, so she frowned and asked, "What, do you still want to hush things up?"

Liu Xin'ai didn't want to hush things up either.

But she also couldn't calmly expose her own humiliation to the public for everyone to see!

Biting her lip tightly, Liu Xin'ai said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to be entangled with him anymore, I just want to get rid of that bastard!"

Xu Xiaoxiao could understand Liu Xin'ai.

She sighed heavily, then said helplessly and anxiously: "You, how unlucky you are to run into such a bastard!"

It was indeed very unlucky to have met Qin Yiyan.

But she didn't want to continue being unlucky!

Liu Xin'ai asked with a strained voice: "Please help me get the medicine first."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it sorted for you!"

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Xiaoxiao specifically took the subway to a pharmacy very far away to buy the medicine.

After buying the medicine, Xu Xiaoxiao prepared to go to the Qin Family.

But not long after walking out of the pharmacy, Xu Xiaoxiao was targeted!

That person followed Xu Xiaoxiao for a stretch of the road.

Then...

Suddenly rushed over, snatched her bag, and ran!

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

It took her two seconds to react, and she shouted while running: "You bastard thief, stop!"

Xu Xiaoxiao ran very fast.

But the thief ran even faster!

In the end, Xu Xiaoxiao watched helplessly as the thief's figure disappeared around the corner!

Now she was in trouble!

Her phone and identification documents were still inside!
