Chapter 1227: The House Is Likely to Be Unsettled Again

~7 min read 1,373 words

Qin Yiyan sent a photo to Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Qingze in the photo...

was actually tied up!!

This bastard, he was actually going to take action for real!

Liu Xin'ai's fingers trembled as she immediately dialed the phone.

But the call could no longer get through!

This result made her so anxious she was at a complete loss!!

A passerby saw Liu Xin'ai's helpless appearance and kindly asked for the reason.

But Liu Xin'ai did not say a single word.

She only wiped away her tears.

Finally...

she mechanically lifted her feet and walked step by step out of the airport.

Over here, Jiang Chenghao had already bought his plane ticket.

His decision was somewhat impulsive.

But he...

did not regret it at all!

In his heart, he was still fantasizing about how surprised Liu Xin'ai would be when she saw him!

However, what he did not know was...

Liu Xin'ai was hanging her head, walking in the opposite direction!

She got into a taxi by the side of the road and told the driver to head to the Qin Family Villa.

Liu Xin'ai knew that making this decision was equivalent to...

giving up her freedom with her own hands!!

But what else could she do?

Could she trade her brother's safety for her own freedom?

No, Liu Xin'ai could not do it!

And she also discovered...

as long as Qin Yiyan wanted to, he could find different ways to threaten Liu Xin'ai!

This time it was Liu Qingze, perhaps next time, it would be Xu Xiaoxiao...

Liu Xin'ai felt as if she had fallen into a dark abyss.

There was no light around her.

Only boundless...

despair!

The taxi arrived at the destination.

Liu Xin'ai got out of the car, looking dejected like a marionette.

Seeing that Liu Xin'ai had not yet paid, the driver shouted anxiously, "Hey, you haven't paid the fare yet! Don't just walk away!!"

His voice did not stop Liu Xin'ai.

There was no other way; the driver could only chase after her.

Fortunately, a servant inside the villa saw this scene and ran out to pay the fare for Liu Xin'ai.

And Liu Xin'ai, like a ghost, continued to walk.

Xiao'an walked through the garden, preparing to return to the living room.

But she saw Liu Xin'ai walking past her!

Xiao'an was extremely surprised and chased after her to ask, "Why did you come back by yourself? Where is Miss Bai?"

Liu Xin'ai did not answer this question.

Instead, she said with vacant eyes, "Tell Qin Yiyan that I have returned."

"... Yes."

Xiao'an originally wanted to ask a couple more questions.

But Liu Xin'ai's complexion... was terrifyingly pale.

This made Xiao'an uneasy, so she did not dare to ask more and hurriedly turned to make a phone call.

As for Liu Xin'ai?

She walked up the steps with heavy footsteps and returned to her room.

Many servants in the house saw Liu Xin'ai's strange state.

They exchanged whispers with one another.

And the result of their exchange was—

The house, I'm afraid, is going to be unsettled again!

Sigh!

Not long after, Bai Yufei returned in a fit of rage.

After arriving home, she went straight upstairs.

She even kicked open the door to Liu Xin'ai's bedroom!

Liu Xin'ai sat on a chair with no expression on her face.

It was as if she hadn't even heard the sound of the door being kicked.

But Bai Yufei didn't care whether she heard her or not!

She walked over and began to berate Liu Xin'ai:

"If you were going to leave, couldn't you have told me? You made me wait there like a fool! Liu Xin'ai, I think you did it on purpose just to play me!!"

Bai Yufei was truly furious today!

She had patiently waited outside, but what was the result?

Liu Xin'ai had actually left without a word!

In the end, it was Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang who told her!

Bai Yufei wanted to lash out right then and there.

But she didn't dare yell at Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang.

But...

Couldn't she yell at Liu Xin'ai?

When her brother came back in a while, she would have him scold her severely!

It would be best if her brother could scold Liu Xin'ai until she cried, causing her to lose control of her emotions, and eventually lose the child!!

Bai Yufei's thoughts were extremely vicious.

The look she gave Liu Xin'ai was also full of resentment.

But Liu Xin'ai didn't care at all about what she said.

She just sat there blankly, her eyes staring vacantly at the floor.

Seeing her like this, Bai Yufei assumed Liu Xin'ai was being arrogant, which made her even angrier!

She prepared to say more nasty things to attack Liu Xin'ai!

But at this moment...

Steady footsteps came from outside the door.

Hearing the sound, Bai Yufei immediately changed her expression.

She cried out pitifully: "If sister-in-law doesn't like me keeping her company, just tell me; why join forces with outsiders to tease me?! Isn't this just letting outsiders make a joke of our family? Brother will lose face too!"

As the sound of the last word fell, Qin Yiyan walked into the bedroom.

Bai Yufei timed it perfectly, turning around to pretend she had just discovered Qin Yiyan, and opened her mouth to complain.

But...

Seeing Qin Yiyan's face, cold as ice, Bai Yufei felt a shock in her heart.

The words on the tip of her tongue were completely forgotten.

Qin Yiyan didn't even look at Bai Yufei and commanded: "Get out!"

Given Bai Yufei's style, she certainly wouldn't leave easily.

No matter what, she had to twist the truth first.

But...

At this moment, the air pressure around Qin Yiyan was terrifyingly low.

Even Bai Yufei didn't dare say another word.

She swallowed hard and silently walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Bai Yufei wanted to turn around and eavesdrop.

But as soon as she came out, she saw Xiao'an standing there.

What a nuisance!

Bai Yufei frowned and said with disgust: "Why are you standing there? Are you trying to slack off!"

Xiao'an hurriedly shook his head: "I am standing here, waiting for orders."

"What could I possibly order you to do?"

"I don't know, but before, when the master and mistress quarreled, they would..."

Realizing he had said something he shouldn't have, Xiao'an quickly shut his mouth.

But Bai Yufei had already caught onto something, and she asked hurriedly: "How is my brother?"

This time, Xiao'an made up his mind not to say a single word.

This stubborn silence made Bai Yufei so angry that she reached out and pinched him!

But even after pinching him, it was useless; Xiao'an still refused to speak.

Bai Yufei didn't dare make too much noise either.

After all, Qin Yiyan was right there in the room.

And...

There were people downstairs looking over here from time to time.

This situation was not suitable for dealing with Xiao'an, nor was it possible to eavesdrop.

So Bai Yufei could only return to her room in a huff.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'ai in the bedroom finally reacted.

She opened her mouth and said: "Let my brother go!"

Qin Yiyan gave a cold laugh.

Then he leaned close to Liu Xin'ai and said sinisterly: "Why do you think I would listen to you?!"

In Qin Yiyan's pupils, Liu Xin'ai's fragile figure was reflected.

She was trying hard to be strong.

But her trembling body betrayed her...

But in reality, Qin Yiyan never intended to deal with Liu Qingze at all!

This opportunity for a field inspection was rare, and Qin Yiyan had originally intended for Liu Qingze to stay by his side so he could broaden his horizons.

But the consequence of his painstaking efforts...

... was the betrayal of Liu Xin'ai!

Qin Yiyan... could not forgive!!

Liu Xin'ai could see that a violent storm was brewing in the depths of Qin Yiyan's eyes.

That gaze was terrifying!

Meeting it, one would instinctively want to flee!

Yet Liu Xin'ai did not look away.

She repeated once more: "Release my brother!!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, as if an invisible hand were pressing down on everyone's hearts.
