Chapter 1223: Cold Shoulder to a Warm Face

Under the management of Liu Qingze, the company has already gotten on the right track.

As his older sister, Liu Xin'ai feels very proud.

It is just that...

The figure swaying back and forth in the corner makes her frown involuntarily.

Liu Qingze also discovers that figure.

He immediately knits his brows and mutters with dissatisfaction, "It's that woman!"

Ever since he found out that Bai Yufei was the mastermind behind the online exposure of Liu Xin'ai, Liu Qingze has wanted to drag her out and teach her a harsh lesson!

But Liu Xin'ai wants to let the matter rest.

She even said that Bai Yufei would be sent away.

And the result?

She is actually still here!!

Seeing Liu Qingze's emotions gradually becoming agitated, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly grips his arm and says urgently, "Don't pay any attention to that woman; it will only bring trouble upon yourself!"

"But why is that woman still able to loiter in front of you?! The victim suffers in silence, while the culprit acts with impunity? Is this fair!"

"But saying it out loud won't change anything. She is Qin Yiyan's younger sister; at most, she will just be scolded, and she won't face any legal punishment!"

Liu Xin'ai is analyzing the situation for her younger brother.

She hopes he can be a little calmer.

But Liu Qingze's brows only furrow tighter.

He even asks, "Sister, have you suffered any grievances?"

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly shakes her head: "After you came in, didn't you see how respectful the servants are to me? Qin Yiyan is also very good to me, and he even had the kitchen make the things I like to eat separately."

"But that woman..."

"She is only staying here temporarily. My mother-in-law has also... encountered some things recently. Bai Yufei going back would just cause trouble, and Qin Yiyan has no other choice."

Liu Xin'ai's explanation still does not smooth out her younger brother's brows.

He feels his sister is too gentle and doesn't like to haggle over anything, and this... really

makes it easy for people to ride roughshod over her!

Liu Qingze's breathing is a bit rapid, and he clenches his fists, saying, "If the Qin Family won't uphold justice for you, I will!"

Her younger brother's protection makes Liu Xin'ai feel very warmed.

She lifts her head and gives her own promise: "Justice... will definitely not be late! Right and wrong will also eventually be laid out before everyone one day!!"

Liu Xin'ai's firmness makes Liu Qingze feel a surge of strength.

Although it is not powerful enough to shake the heavens and move the earth, it is tenacious and unyielding.

This makes Liu Qingze slowly calm down.

It is just that...

He suddenly looks toward the corner and shouts, "If you want to watch, then watch openly and honestly; why are you acting like a rat!!"

The voices of the sister and brother were sometimes loud and sometimes soft, and Bai Yufei could never hear the content she wanted to hear.

Now that Liu Qingze has suddenly roared, it even gave her a fright!

Once she realizes that Liu Qingze is talking about her...

Her face turns white with anger!

She even wants to strike back immediately!!

But...

Looking at the righteous-looking young man, Bai Yufei suddenly loses her confidence.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally just glares fiercely at Liu Qingze and turns to leave.

Seeing that woman slink away, Liu Qingze huffs.

Then he looks at Liu Xin'ai and says gently, "If you aren't used to living here, come home with me."

"Okay."

As the words fall, Liu Xin'ai suddenly feels something extra in her hand.

Looking down, it is actually... a mobile phone!?

Liu Xin'ai lifts her head in confusion.

She sees Liu Qingze winking at her and saying, "Brother-in-law won't let you use one, so I will give you one!"

Liu Qingze's actions are a bit childish.

But they fill Liu Xin'ai's face with warm smiles.

She grips that mobile phone tightly, feeling...

that she has already grasped

freedom!

The day after meeting with Liu Qingze, Jiang Baobao takes the initiative to visit.

Accompanying her is Cai Xiaotang.

The housekeeper dares not neglect these two and hurriedly attends to them carefully.

Snacks, juice, fruit, and more are spread across the table.

Liu Xin'ai sits with her two friends, eating and chatting, as if they are holding a tea party; the atmosphere is incredibly good.

Listening to the constant laughter from over there, Bai Yufei feels very bitter!

Bai Yufei also likes to gather with friends.

However, ever since she returned, she hadn't really kept in touch with her friends because of Qin Yiyan.

And look at Liu Xin'ai?

There was always someone coming to the door to visit her!

What right does she have!!

The more Bai Yufei thought about it, the more unwilling she felt; her eyes darted, and she walked over carrying a box of pastries.

Her appearance caused the previously relaxed conversation to suddenly fall silent.

But Bai Yufei acted very enthusiastically.

She leaned over to set down the pastry box in her hand and said, "These pastries are delicious, everyone should have a taste!"

Cai Xiaotang rested her chin on her hand and asked, "This pastry shop is very popular; did Miss Bai go and queue up for them first thing in the morning?"

Seeing that Cai Xiaotang knew her stuff, Bai Yufei raised an eyebrow and said, "I bought these yesterday; I haven't even opened them yet."

"Yesterday?" Cai Xiaotang's eyes widened, "Wouldn't they have gone bad by now? How can anyone eat them!?"

Bai Yufei's lips moved, and she was just about to speak.

But she heard Jiang Baobao say, "Many thanks for Miss Bai's kindness, but the pastries won't be necessary."

Jiang Baobao's attitude was a bit more polite.

But that politeness was laced with distance, and one could feel that she had no intention of accepting Bai Yufei's kindness at all.

Bai Yufei had offered a warm face only to be met with a cold shoulder, and her expression turned gloomy.

She opened her mouth and said resentfully:

"So people who are pregnant have all become this pretentious!"

Pretentious!?

Cai Xiaotang let out a cold laugh, then stood up and said in a chilly voice, "It seems Miss Bai doesn't welcome pregnant women,"

"Then we won't stay here to be an eyesore!"

Bai Yufei did not stop them; she was wishing they would leave quickly.

Who knew that Cai Xiaotang would also extend an invitation to Liu Xin'ai: "Xin'ai, come with us to get some fresh air."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yufei immediately stopped her: "My brother doesn't allow my sister-in-law to go out as she pleases!"

Cai Xiaotang sneered: "Doesn't allow it? Xin'ai isn't a prisoner, why isn't she allowed to go out? Is this really your brother's intention, or... your intention!"

Seeing that Cai Xiaotang had actually aimed her spear at her, Bai Yufei hurriedly explained: "This is of course my brother's intention, everyone in the house can testify to it!"

"Oh, so you people are all watching over Xin'ai together, not letting her leave? It seems everyone present is an accomplice in restricting Xin'ai's freedom!?"

The butler was sweating cold sweat just listening!

He hurriedly tried to smooth things over, hoping to turn a big problem into a small one.

At the same time, he hoped in his heart that Bai Yufei would say a few words less!

If something really happened, Bai Yufei wouldn't be the one to suffer.

But he would definitely be the one in trouble!!

Yet Bai Yufei insisted on acting clever.

She pushed the butler aside and confronted Cai Xiaotang again: "We care about my sister-in-law, how is that controlling her? Besides, her health is poor, so she should be resting properly at home!"

"Xin'ai is a doctor herself; whether her health is good or not, she can judge for herself, she doesn't need you to say it!"

"Fine, then let my sister-in-law say it herself!"

Bai Yufei stared at Liu Xin'ai.

She thought to herself that no matter what Liu Xin'ai said, she would be in trouble!

Because

If Liu Xin'ai admitted that her health was poor, then she would be letting down the friends who stood up for her...
