Chapter 1256: Don't You Feel Even a Bit of Remorse?

Apologize...

Bai Yufei suddenly raised her head, looking at Qin Yiyan in disbelief.

Sensing her gaze, Qin Yiyan turned his head to the side and asked, "What, you can't do it?"

Of course she couldn't!

Bai Yufei wished she could kill Xu Xiaoxiao!!

In order to make Qin Yiyan sympathize with her and change his mind, Bai Yufei pleaded, "Brother, Xu Xiaoxiao has harmed me so miserably, I can't bring myself to bow my head to her!"

Qin Yiyan knew she felt wronged, and even reached out to pat her head.

However, Qin Yiyan did not change his mind.

He said, "I know you feel very wronged about today's events, and afterward, Brother will help you seek justice! But if the troublesome matter isn't resolved, you will never be able to hold your head up high!"

Bai Yufei was in a difficult position.

She also knew that what Qin Yiyan said was the truth.

But she truly could not bring herself to bow her head to Xu Xiaoxiao...

Her tear-reddened eyes darted around twice, and Bai Yufei suddenly thought of an idea.

She said excitedly, "You could have Mother go find Xu Xiaoxiao! Isn't Xu Xiaoxiao on very good terms with Mother? Perhaps if Mother goes to apologize, Xu Xiaoxiao will accept it very easily!!"

The more Bai Yufei spoke, the more she felt this was a good idea.

The expression on her face was even filled with excitement!

However, Qin Yiyan stared at Bai Yufei with a blank expression.

He retorted, "You would have Mother, at her age, still laboring over your affairs?"

"Isn't protecting one's children a matter of course! Could it be that just because I'm not biologically related, you all only pay lip service to being good to me?"

The words that blurted out of Bai Yufei's mouth made Qin Yiyan frown.

Seeing this expression on him, Bai Yufei knew she had said something she shouldn't have.

She immediately lowered her eyes and said in a submissive and fragile tone, "I'm sorry, my mind was just too chaotic, which is why I was spouting nonsense."

"But such words must never be spoken in front of Mother, remember?"

Bai Yufei nodded hurriedly.

Then, she wore a pleading expression: "Brother, I beg you, let Mother go. I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want to bow my head to that woman!"

"You hurt someone, and you're still unwilling to apologize?"

"I'm unwilling! There are only the two of us here, so I'm not afraid of Brother laughing at me—based on what she said, it wouldn't have been excessive even if I had struck harder!"

Bai Yufei was truly furious, and there was even hatred in her eyes.

Qin Yiyan looked straight at this version of Bai Yufei.

After a long while, he asked, "When will you be able to tell me what exactly you two talked about?"

This question made Bai Yufei's eyes flicker.

She lowered her head and muttered, "You will know sooner or later, but for now... don't ask!"

Qin Yiyan did not continue to press her.

However, he also did not tell his mother about this matter.

Qin Yiyan decided... to go see Xu Xiaoxiao himself!

He first sent Bai Yufei back to her room.

Then he went to Liu Xin'ai's room.

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai was sitting in a chair, wearing headphones, humming a song.

The book said that when a pregnant mother sings, the Baobao will also feel the charm of the music, as well as the mother's happiness.

So for the sake of the child, Liu Xin'ai was humming a nursery rhyme, though not very skillfully.

Although she wasn't skilled, her voice was very pleasant, and the song was filled with tenderness.

Only, to Qin Yiyan's ears, this singing...

Was somewhat inappropriate.

Qin Yiyan darkened his gaze, walked a few steps to behind Liu Xin'ai, and snatched her headphones off.

This movement was very sudden.

Liu Xin'ai was startled; she turned her head and stared at Qin Yiyan with a blank expression.

But she was only blank for a moment; once she confirmed who was behind her, she wrapped herself in indifference.

Yet Qin Yiyan was even more indifferent than her.

He hooked Liu Xin'ai's chin and asked coldly, "Are you very pleased with yourself?"

Liu Xin'ai dodged Qin Yiyan's fingers and scolded with a frown, "You're inexplicable!"

"Is it me who is inexplicable, or you who refuses to repent?"

"Qin Yiyan, if you have something to say, just say it directly; don't come here and be sarcastic with me!"

"Fine, then I'll say it directly."

Qin Yiyan bent down, his eyes icy: "Xu Xiaoxiao is injured; she has many cuts on her body."

His words made Liu Xin'ai slowly widen her eyes.

In her gaze, there was terror and helplessness.

And these emotions were absolutely not feigned!

Liu Xin'ai could no longer remain calm; she asked anxiously, "How could this happen? How did she get hurt? Is it serious!?"

Qin Yiyan had been observing Liu Xin'ai's reaction the whole time.

He could tell that Liu Xin'ai did not know this news.

This result caused Qin Yiyan's expression to soften slightly.

Then he continued, "It shouldn't be serious; in any case, it's not life-threatening. As for how the injury happened... it was Fei'er who did it."

What!?

Liu Xin'ai stood up at once.

She was confused, and shouted angrily, "What does she want? Has she become lawless!"

Qin Yiyan also knew that Bai Yufei had gone too far.

But he did not like seeing Liu Xin'ai acting so protective of someone else.

So he said coldly, "You don't know the full picture yet, it is best to stay calm first."

"No matter what the full picture is, Bai Yufei laying a hand on her is her fault!"

"And you shouting is right? You will scare the child."

As Qin Yiyan spoke, he wanted to touch Liu Xin'ai's belly.

But Liu Xin'ai dodged away.

She even said with some disgust, "I am telling the child that if they are bullied, they must fight back!"

Qin Yiyan was very dissatisfied with her dodging; he frowned slightly and asked, "Who is bullying the child?"

"Xiao Xiao is the child's aunt; bullying her is bullying the child!"

This theory made Qin Yiyan laugh out loud.

He then retorted, "The child hasn't even been born, and you've already arranged the aunt?"

Liu Xin'ai's mood at this moment was a mix of anger, anxiety, and worry.

But what about Qin Yiyan?

He still had a joking appearance, without the slightest sense of embarrassment for his younger sister doing something wrong!

This made Liu Xin'ai's gaze grow increasingly gloomy.

Seeing this, Qin Yiyan slowly put away his smile, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What kind of look is that?"

"Naturally, it is condemnation! Do you not have even a shred of remorse!?"

To tell the truth, he did not.

Moreover, Qin Yiyan felt that although Xu Xiaoxiao was injured, she was not necessarily innocent.

Thinking this, Qin Yiyan said, "Fei'er is willful, but she wouldn't throw a tantrum for no reason; she must have been provoked to a certain degree for her to lose her reason."

Qin Yiyan felt he was merely stating a fact.

But in Liu Xin'ai's view...

This was just shirking responsibility!

She could not agree with Qin Yiyan's words either, and with a cold laugh, she retorted, "You don't understand your sister at all; she doesn't need a reason to throw a tantrum!"

"Liu Xin'ai, I know you are angry, but you cannot intentionally smear her."

What?

Intentionally smear her!?

Does Bai Yufei's conduct even need Liu Xin'ai to smear it!?

That Qin Yiyan could actually say such things—he must be either blind or heart-blind!

Liu Xin'ai clenched her fists tightly.

She didn't even want to look at this guy who twisted right and wrong!

But...

Thinking of Xu Xiaoxiao, Liu Xin'ai ordered herself to be calm.

Then, in a calm voice, she made a request: "I want to visit Xiao Xiao."

"No need to visit, it's just a flesh wound."

"But..."

"And I will check on her for you."
