Chapter 1230: Husband Steps In to Back Her Up

Jiang Chenghao sighed heavily and agreed to Jiang Baobao's arrangement.

Jiang Baobao tidied up a bit and then went to the Qin Family residence.

As it turned out...

The servant at the door didn't even open it for her!

Seeing the other party's attitude, Jiang Baobao knew that Liu Xin'ai must be inside this villa!

This also proved... the plan had indeed failed!

Jiang Baobao was anxious and angry.

But she could not lose her composure.

After a deep breath, she put on airs and scolded coldly: "Is this how your Qin Family treats guests!?"

The servant also had grievances that were hard to voice.

Facing such an honored guest, who would dare to be negligent?

Wasn't it all... because of the master's orders?

The servant was helpless and could only say bitterly: "I'm truly sorry, it was the master who arranged it this way; please don't make things difficult for me."

"Arranged by Qin Yiyan? What a coward, only knowing how to hide and avoid meeting when trouble arises!"

Jiang Baobao's angry shouting was very loud, not caring at all if she would be heard by others.

The servant lowered his eyes and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

And his reaction explained one thing very well:

Qin Yiyan was not at home!

If he were, the servant would certainly be anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks, and frequently looking toward the villa.

Having obtained the desired information, Jiang Baobao prepared to leave.

But before leaving...

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but look toward the villa.

Then she asked the servant: "Is Xin'ai okay?"

This question made the servant's eyes shift.

It was clearly a guilty conscience!!

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao immediately knitted her brows, her voice becoming even sharper: "Qin Yiyan didn't hurt her, did he?!"

The servant still did not speak.

Jiang Baobao already knew what the servant's silence meant.

This made her gradually furious!

Finally, she went to Qin Yiyan's company in a rage!

As a result, at the entrance of the company, Jiang Baobao was rebuffed again!

The receptionist didn't even announce her, just saying that Qin Yiyan was busy and had no time to see guests!

Jiang Baobao's breathing was rapid.

If it weren't for the fact that she was currently six months pregnant, she would definitely have forced her way in to demand an explanation from Qin Yiyan!!

However...

It was precisely because of the pregnancy that Jiang Baobao's emotions could not be too agitated.

To calm her mood, Jiang Baobao didn't take a car, but instead walked along the roadside.

She took the opportunity to clear her head and think about the next strategy.

Yet, just as Jiang Baobao was walking, Li Beijue's car passed by.

The driver spotted Jiang Baobao at a glance and hurriedly said: "Isn't that Madam?"

Li Beijue looked up and was surprised to actually see Jiang Baobao!

But why did his wife look so unhappy?

Li Beijue hurriedly told someone to stop the car.

Then he followed quietly from behind.

And taking advantage of when Jiang Baobao wasn't paying attention, he reached out and tapped her on the shoulder.

Jiang Baobao turned around with a resentful look.

Seeing it was Li Beijue, she said faintly: "Husband, why are you here?"

"I had a meeting and was passing by."

As he spoke, Li Beijue held Jiang Baobao's hand, only to find it a bit cold.

This made Li Beijue immediately frown and ask: "What's wrong with you? Your mood feels very off."

"... It's nothing."

"Do you think I wouldn't know if something is wrong? Tell me obediently, otherwise... I'll have to beg you."

Li Beijue's change in tone made Jiang Baobao unable to help but curl her lips into a smile.

But after the smile, there was a deep sigh.

Jiang Baobao didn't want to involve Li Beijue in this matter.

But now... it seemed she could only ask for his help.

Jiang Baobao hesitated for a moment, then looked up and told Li Beijue about their recent plans.

This also included Liu Xin'ai's disappearance.

After hearing this, Li Beijue was both angry and heartbroken.

He raised his hand to stroke Jiang Baobao's hair and sighed: "If I had handled this, it would have succeeded long ago; why go through so much trouble?"

Jiang Baobao also wanted to ask Li Beijue for help.

But she had her concerns.

However, any concerns were useless now; if the plan failed, it meant losing everything!

Sigh!

Seeing Jiang Baobao with her shoulders slumped and a dejected look, Li Beijue could not bear to say anything more.

He thought for a moment and offered a suggestion: "Let's go find Qin Yiyan now. If we can negotiate, we'll negotiate; if we can't... we'll just go and take the person!"

Li Beijue did not like dawdling.

He liked things direct and decisive!

But Jiang Baobao grabbed his hand and reminded him: "I already went just now, but they wouldn't let me in."

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'd like to see who dares to stop us in a moment!"

Li Beijue pulled Jiang Baobao's hand and returned to the Qin Clan's office building.

The receptionist sighed inwardly upon seeing Jiang Baobao.

On the surface, however, she was full of smiles, preparing to enthusiastically... turn her away.

As it turned out, the other party didn't even pay her any mind!

She walked straight past!!

The receptionist blinked, then turned around and immediately followed.

She said earnestly: "Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, the two of you cannot go in!"

"And what if I insist on going in?"

"I will have to call the Security Guard..."

The receptionist did not finish her sentence.

Because Li Beijue glared at her coldly.

That gaze was so cold and fierce that the receptionist, just a young girl, was almost scared to tears!

Yet Li Beijue suddenly changed his expression and even pointed out a clear path for her:

"Right now, call Qin Yiyan's assistant and tell him the situation here. Remember, drag it out a bit; perhaps by the time you finish, we will have already gone up."

The receptionist thought about it and realized this method was...

Brilliant!

As a mere low-level employee, she could not afford to offend distinguished guests like the Li Family.

She could only report to her superiors.

And while waiting, if they insisted on charging inside, what could she do?

Nothing!

In the end, she could only blame her superiors for failing to inform her in time on how to act.

And then, wouldn't this blame... be shifted away?

Having figured this out, the receptionist stopped entangling herself with the two and turned to make the call.

Watching all this, Jiang Baobao silently gave Li Beijue a thumbs up.

Li Beijue accepted the praise without any burden, then took his wife and got on the elevator.

Things went just as Li Beijue had envisioned; when he and Jiang Baobao burst into Qin Yiyan's office, the news had just reached his ears through layers of reports.

Seeing the two who had entered uninvited, Qin Yiyan's expression darkened.

He then spoke without ceremony: "I haven't settled scores with Mrs. Li yet, and you two have the audacity to appear before me!"

Li Beijue did not care at all about the other's coldness.

He helped Jiang Baobao sit down and said in a casual tone: "We didn't hold a grudge against you for giving us the cold shoulder either, so we're even."

"Ha, Mr. Li speaks so lightly. Your wife assisted my wife in running away from home; can this also be ignored!?"

Qin Yiyan suddenly raised his voice.

His presence was overbearing!

Yet Li Beijue did not care in the slightest.

He even shook his head and sighed: "This was just Baobao arranging an overseas trip for her friend; how is that running away from home? Mr. Qin is overreacting. As a husband, you should be more magnanimous."

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as though it had been pricked by a needle.
