Chapter 1167: Scheming Against Me

"Xin'ai must be discussing something very important, so I won't go over and distract her." Jiang Baobao rejected Li Beijue's suggestion.

Afterwards, she withdrew her gaze and murmured, "That girl just now is Xin'ai's sister-in-law."

"Hmm, I have an impression of her; I think I ran into her at Liu Tengnian's funeral."

"

At that time, Bai Yufei was considerate and sensible.

She stood obediently by the elders' side.

She truly knew how to conduct herself with propriety.

But just now, Jiang Baobao discovered that this girl, who looked like a little white flower...

... actually revealed a sinister gaze!

And the place where her gaze landed was exactly on Liu Xin'ai!

From this, it was evident that this pair of sisters-in-law did not get along well.

But...

Liu Xin'ai had a gentle personality and was very kind to people; what kind of conflict could these two possibly have?

Jiang Baobao felt suspicious and really wanted to get to the bottom of the reason.

Seeing that Jiang Baobao was silent and just rolling her eyes around, Li Beijue couldn't help but laugh: "What are you pondering?"

"Hmm... I'm a little worried about Xin'ai."

"It's just a little conflict between sisters-in-law; Liu Xin'ai should be able to handle it well."

"But Xin'ai's state before was already a bit strange, and after her father passed away, this feeling became even more intense. Now that she's not getting along with her relative... it's hard not to worry."

"Then let's go talk to Liu Xin'ai."

Jiang Baobao sighed: "With Xin'ai's personality, even if I asked, she wouldn't say anything."

"But didn't you still discover that there was a problem with Liu Xin'ai's state through your previous chat?"

These words made Jiang Baobao freeze.

Li Beijue raised his hand to rub her cheek, his tone gentle: "Chatting doesn't necessarily have to result in a conclusion. As long as you have the heart, you can discover clues even in idle chatter."

Jiang Baobao felt that these words made sense.

She was also eager to try!

But then she thought again...

That wouldn't work either; Liu Xin'ai was very busy, and even if Jiang Baobao wanted to chat, she couldn't even schedule the time!

Unless...

Jiang Baobao's gaze circled around.

Finally, she fixed her gaze on Li Beijue.

This gaze made Li Beijue sit up straight involuntarily and ask: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my lips?"

As he spoke, Li Beijue was about to wipe them with a tissue.

But Jiang Baobao stopped him and said with a smile: "No, you're still very handsome. But, my handsome husband, do you want to invest in a project with very promising prospects?"

Li Beijue knew Jiang Baobao too well.

Upon hearing this, he asked with slight helplessness: "Are you trying to get me to invest in the Special Effect Medicine that Liu Xin'ai is developing?"

"Yes, husband, you're so smart!"

Being smart was a given.

However, there was one point Li Beijue had to remind Jiang Baobao of: "Regarding the investment, Qin Yiyan will definitely handle it personally."

"But we can invest jointly, and we aren't like some investors who have so many demands; Xin'ai definitely won't refuse!"

"And then what?"

Jiang Baobao pursed her lips, full of smiles.

And said: "You guys talk business, and I'll wait patiently on the side, and observe secretly while I'm at it! If there's still time, I can chat with Xin'ai for a while, and by keeping it simple and deep, I can at least find out some news!"

Jiang Baobao felt this plan was truly perfect!

Liu Xin'ai couldn't refuse, and it wouldn't cause her any trouble!

But Li Beijue was somewhat bothered by it.

He flicked Jiang Baobao's nose and asked: "Are you trying to use me for your own schemes?"

Jiang Baobao did not deny it.

Instead, she looked at Li Beijue with anticipation: "You're my husband, won't you help out?"

Jiang Baobao lifted her chin slightly, staring at him without blinking.

Under such an offensive of gazes, how could Li Beijue have the heart to refuse?

Naturally, he agreed to everything she asked!

On the other side, Liu Xin'ai was completely unaware that she was about to receive a considerable amount of investment.

After finishing her discussion with the lawyer, she left the coffee shop.

Afterwards, on the way back to the Laboratory, she received a call from Jiang Baobao.

On the phone, Jiang Baobao's voice was gentle as she told her about Li Beijue's intention to invest.

This decision was completely beyond Liu Xin'ai's expectations.

She asked with some confusion: "Why would Li Beijue be interested in this project?"

"Because Beijue is a businessman, and businessmen are naturally interested in projects with promising prospects. You might not know it yourself, but your Special Effect Medicine has a great reputation in the industry!"

Liu Xin'ai smiled and asked: "Do you still have an understanding of things in the pharmaceutical circle now?"

"This is what I heard from Beijue. I think this is a win-win situation, so I hurried to call you. So, Xin'ai, will you agree?"

Jiang Baobao, holding her phone, felt a bit nervous.

And also a bit impatient.

After two seconds of silence on the other end of the line, Jiang Baobao heard Liu Xin'ai's smiling voice: "An olive branch offered by the Li Family must certainly be accepted."

This result made Jiang Baobao immediately curl her lips and reveal a smile.

Feeling satisfied, Jiang Baobao didn't chat for much longer before hanging up the phone.

However, Liu Xin'ai, on this side of the phone, stared at her phone and thought:

Why does it feel strange?

But as for where it was strange... Liu Xin'ai didn't have any clues yet.

However, Liu Xin'ai would not spend too much thought on this aspect.

After all, there were more important things waiting for her to handle.

Once she became busy, Liu Xin'ai regained her vitality, and there was a glow in her eyes.

But when she returned to the Qin Family Villa in the evening...

The moment she entered the door, Liu Xin'ai felt a sense of oppression!

That feeling was very uncomfortable.

It was as if a giant boulder were pressing on her chest!

Liu Xin'ai took a deep breath, then lowered her eyes and stepped inside.

At this moment, Qin Yiyan was already sitting in the living room.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai return, he got straight to the point and asked: "Who did you meet with today?"

Liu Xin'ai knew that after returning home, Qin Yiyan would definitely interrogate her!

Although Liu Xin'ai had already thought of an excuse with Xu Xiaoxiao to fob off Xiao'an.

But Qin Yiyan was not so easy to fool!

The facts were indeed so; Qin Yiyan had immediately sensed something was wrong after hearing Xiao'an's report earlier.

In fact, last time when Xiao'an said that Liu Xin'ai and Xu Xiaoxiao were chatting about story content in English, Qin Yiyan had sensitively felt there was a problem.

Now...

It confirmed his guess!

This woman definitely had something she was hiding from him!

Liu Xin'ai, however, kept her expression normal and said: "I was just looking for someone to discuss patent matters."

"Then why did you have to be so secretive?"

"Where was I being secretive? Heh, people with devious minds really see everything as filled with filth!"

Liu Xin'ai's blunt words made Qin Yiyan narrow his eyes.

The air pressure around him was also very low!

Liu Xin'ai could feel Qin Yiyan's dissatisfaction.

But she didn't care at all and even retorted: "Isn't that right? I chatted with the other party in a coffee shop, with people coming and going, how was that secretive?"

"

When Liu Xin'ai refuted Qin Yiyan, she was righteous and confident.

But in reality?

She was nervous!

Her palms were full of sweat!
