Chapter 1270: A Method That Satisfies Everyone

Qin Yiyan was stunned by his mother's words.

After a moment of reaction, he asked, "She did it on purpose?"

"That's right, it was only for Fei'er's sake that Xin'ai resorted to such a desperate measure!"

Qin Yiyan shifted his gaze back to Liu Xin'ai.

After scrutinizing her for a while, he drew a conclusion: "Then she performed very convincingly."

He was implying something about Liu Xin'ai.

Chi Rong naturally heard it, her brows furrowed, and she said with dissatisfaction, "Xin'ai is also helping us; otherwise, would you even be able to have a single conversation with Fei'er!?"

Chi Rong's words were also a fact.

So Qin Yiyan did not make a sound.

Seeing that his son was no longer being sarcastic, Chi Rong sighed and said, "In the current situation, don't be too particular about the methods; being able to soothe Fei'er is what truly matters. By the way, how did your talk with Fei'er go?"

To avoid worrying his mother, Qin Yiyan explained in a few words: "Her emotions are a bit volatile, but it's clear she has no extreme thoughts."

"Oh, that's good then."

Chi Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood relaxed slightly as well.

Liu Xin'ai was listening quietly on the side.

Her hands did not stop moving, as she was still gently applying a hot compress for Chi Rong.

Furthermore... she could feel that Qin Yiyan was still staring at her.

That guy's gaze was becoming increasingly sharp.

It was impossible for Liu Xin'ai to turn a blind eye to it.

Liu Xin'ai closed her eyes for a moment, then raised her head and met Qin Yiyan's gaze head-on.

She asked with a calm expression, "What are you plotting? Don't tell me you still want me to apologize to Bai Yufei?"

Qin Yiyan was slightly surprised that Liu Xin'ai had actually guessed his intentions.

Since the topic had been brought out into the open by Liu Xin'ai, Qin Yiyan did not intend to hide it.

He said his thoughts very directly: "Fei'er can't listen to explanations right now; she just feels that you are humiliating her. If you don't apologize, this matter won't end. Since you've already helped, you might as well help until the end."

Liu Xin'ai really wanted to sneer.

She knew Qin Yiyan was shameless.

But today, Qin Yiyan still used his actions to refresh her perception of him!

Chi Rong was also furious now.

She slapped the table and scolded, "You child, how have you lost your sense of right and wrong! Xin'ai has already done her utmost to help us, and you actually make such an unreasonable request!"

"Then how should Fei'er be soothed? She is not only angry at Liu Xin'ai right now, but she also feels that you are shielding her. Besides letting Liu Xin'ai suffer a grievance and go apologize to Fei'er, is there any other way?"

Chi Rong had not expected that Bai Yufei would also hold a grudge against her, and she felt a bit uneasy inside.

After hesitating for a moment, Chi Rong decided, "I will go explain it to Fei'er!"

"It's useless. If things go wrong, it will only deepen the misunderstanding, and Fei'er will close herself off again."

Qin Yiyan had finally seen a glimmer of hope; he could not let things get worse!

Therefore, he hoped his mother could understand.

He also hoped Liu Xin'ai could be sensible.

But Chi Rong still stubbornly denied it: "No, I cannot let Xin'ai suffer any more grievances!"

"Grievances? Didn't Liu Xin'ai just rebuke Fei'er? Regardless of the reason, those hurtful words definitely came out of her mouth."

"You... you are clearly just arguing for the sake of arguing!"

Chi Rong was so angry that she even began to cough.

Her coughing caused the injury on her shoulder to ache, and her facial features twisted together as a result.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai quickly said, "Please don't be angry; it's just an apology, I'll go."

As she spoke, Liu Xin'ai subconsciously supported her waist.

She had been standing for too long recently, and her waist was prone to soreness.

Pressing and rubbing her lower back a couple of times could provide some relief.

Chi Rong saw this action of hers, and in a flash, she thought of something.

Then she turned her head and said to Qin Yiyan, "Fei'er is so impulsive right now; what if she gets angry and accidentally hurts Xin'ai?"

Liu Xin'ai must not be hurt right now.

Therefore, she could not be the one to clean up this mess!

It had to be said that the reason Chi Rong found was very persuasive.

Qin Yiyan hesitated.

But considering Bai Yufei's situation...

Qin Yiyan decided, "Then let's just use a phone to record an apology video, and I will take it to show Fei'er."

His decision made Chi Rong and Liu Xin'ai look over in unison.

Their gazes made Qin Yiyan subconsciously furrow his brows and ask, "What is wrong with that?"

There was nothing wrong, it was just...

Liu Xin'ai couldn't help it and let out a "pfft" laugh.

Her laughter made Qin Yiyan's brows furrow even tighter, and he demanded, "What are you laughing at!?"

Liu Xin'ai quickly restrained her smile.

Then she tried her best to put on a serious face and said, "I just think that this method of yours is truly the best of both worlds; it's brilliant!"

Don't look at the words of praise coming from Liu Xin'ai's mouth; the smile that appeared on the corners of her lips from time to time betrayed her!

This made Qin Yiyan regret being considerate toward this woman a little!

He withdrew his gaze and said very impatiently, "If you are not willing..."

"I'm not unwilling. A video apology, right? Shall we start now?"

It was just a small matter; Liu Xin'ai did not want to drag it out.

She hoped to settle it quickly.

On this point, Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai were of the same mind.

He frowned, took out his phone, and then aimed it at Liu Xin'ai.

Nodding slightly, he signaled to Liu Xin'ai that she could begin.

Liu Xin'ai put on a sincere expression and said to the phone, "Fei'er, I apologize for my behavior just now. I wanted you to pull yourself together so much that I said excessive things. I hope you can..."

"Stop for a second!"

Qin Yiyan called for Liu Xin'ai to stop, and then, under Liu Xin'ai's puzzled gaze, said, "Fei'er won't accept this reason of yours."

"Then how should I say it?"

"Just say that you were jealous of her being cared for by everyone, couldn't take it, and that's why you rushed over to cause trouble for her. Now that you have sobered up and realized your mistake, you beg her to forgive you."

Qin Yiyan understood Bai Yufei.

He knew that such a reason would definitely touch her heart.

But Liu Xin'ai would not accept it.

She said with a serious expression, "I will not apologize for a groundless reason."

Qin Yiyan did not understand and asked, "It's an apology either way; does it make a difference what you say?"

"To me, it makes a difference!"

Her words made Qin Yiyan's brow furrow once again.

He felt that Liu Xin'ai was not sincere enough.

She had clearly agreed to help, yet she was still quibbling over small details!

But Chi Rong felt that Qin Yiyan was in the wrong.

She opened her mouth and accused him, "Your demands are truly becoming more and more excessive! Xin'ai is Fei'er's sister-in-law, and she has already helped Fei'er in her own way! What about you? You are Fei'er's brother; can you only keep using Xin'ai's kindness to satisfy us?"

"She is doing it voluntarily!"

"Whether she is doing it voluntarily or not, you know in your heart!"

Qin Yiyan's patience was rapidly diminishing amidst such arguments and calculations.

He also saw that Liu Xin'ai would not cooperate with him fully, and since that was the case...

"Since everyone is unwilling, then I will just solve it myself!"

Li Beijue's expression darkened in an instant, his deep eyes seemingly tempered with ice, staring fixedly at Jiang Baobao as if he wanted to see right through her.
