Chapter 1257: When Soldiers Come, Block Them; When Water Comes, Earth Covers It

~8 min read 1,410 words

Qin Yiyan... wants to visit Xu Xiaoxiao?

How could Liu Xin'ai not believe that he was just visiting!

Because she didn't believe it, Liu Xin'ai asked with a guarded expression: "What do you want to do?"

"After all, it was my sister who hurt her, so as her brother, I must step forward to understand the situation."

Qin Yiyan's words seemed perfectly fine on the surface.

But Liu Xin'ai felt a thick scent of threat!

That Xu Xiaoxiao is not like Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang.

Here, she can only fight alone.

If Qin Yiyan wants to deal with her...

Liu Xin'ai became extremely nervous in an instant, clenched her fists, and warned Qin Yiyan: "Don't you think about bullying others by relying on your power!"

Qin Yiyan sneered: "Liu Xin'ai, are you thinking of your friend as too weak? That is Xu Xiaoxiao, after all, with remarkable means; how could I possibly bully her?"

"So what if she has remarkable means? If she runs into someone shameless and despicable, she will still suffer!"

Her evaluation made Qin Yiyan narrow his eyes: "Who are you calling shameless and despicable?"

Who else could it be, naturally the guy right in front of her!

But...

Liu Xin'ai must control her emotions; she cannot have a falling out with Qin Yiyan at this time!

Taking a deep breath, Liu Xin'ai said insincerely: "I was just giving an example."

"I don't like your example; you are not allowed to say it again next time."

"Fine, I won't say it, then can you let me go see Xiao Xiao?"

Liu Xin'ai looked up at Qin Yiyan, hoping for a miracle to happen.

However...

"Didn't I say it already? I will go on your behalf. Do you have anything you want to say that you need me to help pass on?"

No miracle happened.

Instead, the anger in Liu Xin'ai's heart grew more and more intense!

"Qin, Yiyan!"

Liu Xin'ai gritted her teeth and shouted Qin Yiyan's name.

This counted as a warning, and also as a vent.

But Qin Yiyan feigned a look of sudden realization and said: "So you wanted to tell Xu Xiaoxiao my name. Although it's a bit superfluous, I will help you."

... Bastard!!

Liu Xin'ai's face turned red with anger.

Yet Qin Yiyan found it quite interesting.

If not for considering that she was pregnant, Qin Yiyan would likely have thought of even more ways to anger her.

But it was precisely because of the pregnancy...

Qin Yiyan restrained his attitude and even said: "Take good care of yourself and the child; only then can the people around you be safe and sound."

It was very obvious that Qin Yiyan was warning Liu Xin'ai.

Liu Xin'ai was already tired of hearing it.

She didn't want to pay him any mind, turned around, and faced away from Qin Yiyan.

Qin Yiyan didn't speak again either.

Instead, the sound of footsteps grew further and further away, until it disappeared.

But after only a moment of silence, footsteps sounded behind Liu Xin'ai once again.

That sound made Liu Xin'ai very irritable, and she turned her head and shouted: "Are you ever going to finish!!"

This shout made Xiao'an's shoulders shake.

The things she was holding in her hands almost dropped to the floor.

As for Liu Xin'ai...

She felt a bit awkward, not expecting that the person who came in was not Qin Yiyan.

Clearing her throat, Liu Xin'ai took the initiative to break the silence and asked: "What are you holding?"

"It is white fungus soup, and I have added extra rock sugar according to your request."

Liu Xin'ai has liked eating sweets recently.

When Xiao'an prepares meals and desserts for Liu Xin'ai, she notices this small change.

At this moment, Xiao'an placed the porcelain bowl on the table.

Then she asked cautiously: "Madam, why are you in such a big temper?"

Liu Xin'ai had the answer in her heart.

It was just that the answer was a long story.

And it was very infuriating!

To avoid getting angry again, Liu Xin'ai decided to talk about something else first: "Is Bai Yufei back?"

"Yes, she is in her room. It is said that..."

Xiao'an's tone paused, and after looking toward the door, she continued: "Miss Bai was fished out of the police station!"

The police station?

It seems the matter has blown up quite big.

No wonder Qin Yiyan was being so sarcastic!

Liu Xin'ai raised her hand to support her forehead, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What else did you find out?"

"Miss Bai started crying as soon as she returned to her room, and Sir has gone over to check on her now."

This was nothing unusual.

It was only if Bai Yufei didn't cry that Liu Xin'ai would find it strange.

Moreover, from the matter of calling the police, it could be seen that Xu Xiaoxiao did not intend to handle this discreetly this time.

Liu Xin'ai did not know now whether handling it this way was right or wrong.

But she had a premonition that Xu Xiaoxiao... was definitely plotting something!

As Liu Xin'ai thought this, a look of worry unconsciously appeared on her face.

Xiao'an was also very worried.

She asked cautiously, "Madam, is something... going to happen at home recently?"

That was indeed the case.

But worrying was useless, so Liu Xin'ai only said, "Keep a low profile; this fire won't burn you."

"And what about you?"

Herself?

If someone really came to pick a fight, she wouldn't be able to hide even if she wanted to.

She could only meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth!

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, she found Xiao'an looking as if she had something to say but was hesitating.

"Xiao'an?"

Xiao'an was a bit hesitant.

But in the end, she leaned into Liu Xin'ai's ear and said in a very low voice, "A few days ago, I heard that Miss Bai was going to Red Bean Mountain to make a wish."

"What is unusual about that?"

Xiao'an continued to say in a low voice, "Mrs. Li found out."

"How would she know?"

"It was... I who told her."

This result made Liu Xin'ai's brows knit slightly.

As if she had done something wrong, Xiao'an said in a low voice, "Mrs. Li asked me to keep an eye on Miss Bai's movements at all times and tell her if there was any new information. I don't know what kind of involvement there is in this, but I felt I should listen to her."

Jiang Baobao was indeed a person worth trusting.

But... what exactly was everyone plotting?

And what did all this have to do with Liu Qingze?

Liu Xin'ai began to have a headache.

She did not want to sit and wait for death, so she asked, "Can you contact Jiang Baobao?"

Xiao'an nodded quickly.

"Then find a suitable opportunity and help me ask what exactly is going on. Remember, you must ask secretly; don't let anyone see."

"Don't worry, Madam!"

In fact, there was certainly risk in letting Xiao'an do this.

But knowing nothing would be even more dangerous!

Fortunately, Qin Yiyan's focus was entirely on resolving the dispute between Bai Yufei and Xu Xiaoxiao, and he was not keeping watch over Xiao'an.

So Xiao'an was able to find out the news quite easily.

It was just that this news...

... was of no great use.

Because Jiang Baobao did not tell Liu Xin'ai about their plan, only saying simply that they would take care of Xu Xiaoxiao and that Liu Xin'ai should not worry.

Sigh, having made such a big move, how could she not worry?

And because the move was too big... Chi Rong found out too!

Chi Rong had originally intended to cultivate her character and not ask about anything.

But the impact of this incident was truly too terrible, and it was impossible for Chi Rong not to intervene.

After learning the news, Chi Rong set off and came to the Qin Family Villa.

And she hadn't even given notice; she came very suddenly.

At this moment, Bai Yufei was sitting in her room with a gloomy expression.

She dared not look at the news,

nor did she dare to look at the messages her friends had sent her.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy, as if an invisible pressure were pressing down on everyone's shoulders.
