Chapter 1207: You Siblings Both Like to Eavesdrop

Xiao'an was stunned by the shouting.

She was merely passing by.

Yet she was inexplicably berated until she was drenched in insults.

Truly unlucky!

Hearing the shouting, Liu Xin'ai poked her head out from upstairs.

After glancing at the tense Bai Yufei, she said to Xiao'an, "Did she bully you?"

Before Xiao'an could speak, Bai Yufei frowned and glared over: "What nonsense are you spouting? It was clearly this woman who bumped into me!"

Liu Xin'ai walked slowly down the stairs.

She said unhurriedly, "She was just walking normally, how could she have bumped into you? I'm afraid someone is feeling guilty."

"Liu Xin'ai, stop with your snide remarks!"

"I am just speaking normally; it is you who are shouting and yelling."

While speaking, Liu Xin'ai had already walked in front of Bai Yufei.

She looked straight into Bai Yufei's eyes and said, "I just went to Mother's room to see if she had brought her blood pressure medication; fortunately, she had. But..."

Liu Xin'ai paused for a moment in her tone, then continued: "I discovered a cup of rose tea on the table in the room."

The cup containing the rose tea was a mug with a unique pattern.

That was Bai Yufei's favorite cup, which she usually wouldn't let anyone else even touch.

Now that the cup appeared in Chi Rong's room, it could only mean...

Bai Yufei lifted her chin, her tone cold: "I was the one who delivered it to Mother, so what?"

"But when I left, that cup of tea wasn't there yet, so I was not the last person to see Mother."

Her words... seemed to have stepped on Bai Yufei's tail.

Bai Yufei roared with a ferocious expression: "Don't keep calling her Mother; she is my mother, not yours! My concern for her is also far greater than yours!"

Liu Xin'ai's expression remained indifferent.

Facing Bai Yufei's

screaming, she asked: "Since that is the case, why don't you dare to go find her?"

"I..."

"Are you afraid that if you find Mother, she will reveal the truth?"

Bai Yufei immediately glared fiercely at Liu Xin'ai and shouted in a rough voice: "What do I have to be afraid of? I'll go find her right now! It's some people who aren't trusted by anyone and can't even leave the house!!"

Bai Yufei looked at Liu Xin'ai arrogantly.

She wanted to see her look embarrassed.

However...

Liu Xin'ai tilted her head and looked at Bai Yufei instead.

Then she said in a certain tone: "You eavesdropped on the conversation between Qin Yiyan and me just now; what is wrong with you siblings, you both like eavesdropping so much."

Now, the one who was embarrassed became Bai Yufei!

She was not only embarrassed, but because of her anger, she was about to lay a hand on Liu Xin'ai!

Xiao'an saw that something was wrong, immediately shielded Liu Xin'ai with her body, and warned: "The Madam is pregnant, you cannot touch her!"

Bai Yufei's remaining reason kept her from acting.

But the look she gave Liu Xin'ai was terrifying.

She also said resentfully: "There are plenty of women in this world; you aren't the only one who can bear children for my brother, you have nothing to be smug about!"

Smug?

When had Liu Xin'ai ever been smug in this house!

But these things certainly couldn't be reasoned with Bai Yufei.

Liu Xin'ai didn't want to waste any more breath, shook her head, and left with Xiao'an.

Watching that woman's unbothered back, Bai Yufei almost bit her teeth to pieces!

She also wished she could pin that woman down right now and slap her hard!!

But these could only be fantasies.

They were of no benefit to solving the matter.

Her eyes turned, and Bai Yufei suddenly turned around and hurried out the door.

At the same time, Chi Rong, walking alone on the street, had a confused

expression.

Thinking about her own life, it was truly a failure.

She had previously fantasized about living for herself in the future, but...

Someone like her could only make a mess of things!

Chi Rong was suddenly wrapped in a suffocating atmosphere.

This made her unable to breathe!

However, just as Chi Rong was feeling increasingly uncomfortable, she suddenly thought of someone.

That person seemed like a lifeline for Chi Rong.

Without a second thought, Chi Rong quickly took out her phone and dialed a number.

When the call connected, Chi Rong asked very carefully: "Is Miss Xu busy right now? Can we meet?"

Xu Xiaoxiao, on the other end of the phone, had just received a request from Liu Xin'ai to help find Chi Rong.

As a result, she didn't expect...

Chi Rong had actually taken the initiative to reach out to her!

Xu Xiaoxiao immediately agreed, "Sure, what time shall we meet?"

"Right now, I'll come to your school to find you."

"No problem."

Both sides hung up the phone.

Then Xu Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.

She always felt... that something had happened to Chi Rong.

Just at this moment, the old professor who had introduced Chi Rong to Xu Xiaoxiao walked past her.

Noticing Xu Xiaoxiao was dazed, he smiled and said, "What is little Xu thinking about, to be so lost in thought?"

Xu Xiaoxiao put down her phone, smiled at him, and said, "It's nothing, just that lady you introduced to me, she asked to meet."

The old professor was stunned.

Then he asked, "You two are still meeting? I thought after that one chat, you wouldn't have any more contact."

"We still meet occasionally, we get along quite well."

Upon hearing this, the old professor stopped himself from speaking.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao asked, "What is it?"

The old professor hesitated for a moment, then said, "You might have noticed, this lady's

way of thinking about problems... is sometimes different from ordinary people."

... That was indeed the case.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sit up straight and pressed, "Do you know some inside information? Why don't you reveal a little to me?"

"It's nothing much, just be careful when communicating, don't trigger her emotions."

Everyone was in the same field, so as soon as Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, she understood something.

She then tentatively asked, "Does this lady have a history of mental illness?"

"Oh my, I can't say that, I have professional ethics to uphold."

Xu Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "Discussing a condition, how is that a breach of professional ethics? On the contrary, it better reflects your professionalism and your patient-centered concern."

The old professor had originally intended to give Xu Xiaoxiao a hint.

And now...

He was persuaded by Xu Xiaoxiao.

He said, "This lady suffered from depression and took medication from me."

Hearing the truth, Xu Xiaoxiao did not show a very surprised expression.

Instead, because of this truth, she felt that many things that had seemed confusing before suddenly became clear.

The old professor continued to urge, "If you feel her mood is off, you must guide her in time to avoid any irreparable situations."

Xu Xiaoxiao knew very well what this "irreparable" meant.

Her heart gave a fierce jolt.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately picked up her bag and walked toward the school gate.

After waiting for a while, she saw Chi Rong's lonely figure.

Chi Rong walked over alone, and as she got closer, Xu Xiaoxiao noticed her complexion did not look very good.

Just now on the phone, Liu Xin'ai only said a problem had occurred and Chi Rong had left without saying goodbye.

As for what problem...

Xu Xiaoxiao did not know.

Now seeing Chi Rong in this state...

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that the problem was likely very thorny!
