Chapter 1278: Let the Whole World Know

Liu Qingze's gaze gradually turned fierce.

This made Liu Xin'ai's heart jump with fright.

She was just about to say something more when a scream came from outside the door.

That sound gave Liu Qingze a start!

He patted his chest and then asked, "Sister, do you keep a cat at home?"

"No, that is Bai Yufei's voice."

This... was that actually a sound made by a human!?

Liu Qingze found it inconceivable!

But he was also very curious, so he asked, "What is wrong with that woman?"

"She... offended someone, something happened, and now she is locked in her room to calm down."

Although Liu Xin'ai did not like Bai Yufei, it was, after all, a matter concerning a woman's reputation, so Liu Xin'ai did not explain in detail.

But even so, Liu Qingze could not hide his happy expression.

He even said, "That really is evil meeting its retribution!"

Liu Xin'ai, however, hurriedly grabbed Liu Qingze's arm and shook her head gently: "Don't say that, especially here!"

"Understood, I won't cause you any trouble."

As the words fell, a knock came at the door.

That sound made Liu Qingze immediately fall silent.

Liu Xin'ai then said, "Come in."

Pushing the door open and entering was Chi Rong.

Seeing Chi Rong, Liu Xin'ai hurried over to greet her and asked, "Why didn't you rest a while longer?"

"It is not that big of a problem; lying down all the time actually makes my whole body uncomfortable."

After speaking, Chi Rong looked at Liu Qingze and smiled: "I was resting in my room just now and didn't even know you had come over."

Facing her elder, Liu Qingze was courteous and polite: "I came without giving notice beforehand; it was presumptuous of me."

"Why be so formal? You are family too; come whenever you like, there is no need for such trouble."

Chi Rong's smile was very kind, making one unconsciously feel a sense of affection.

And Chi Rong also greatly appreciated the young man before her, feeling that it was truly not easy for him to shoulder the family business alone at such a young age and still manage it so impressively.

By comparison, her own daughter was about the same age as him, yet...

Thinking of Bai Yufei, Chi Rong wanted to sigh.

But she did not want to reveal unusual emotions in front of the younger generation, so she tried hard to maintain her smile and said:

"You two siblings haven't seen each other for quite a while; why not stay for a meal? Xin'ai, tell the kitchen what your brother likes to eat."

Liu Xin'ai also hoped to chat with her brother for a while longer.

But she did not know if Liu Qingze had other plans, so she turned her head to look at him.

However, just as Liu Qingze was about to give a response, a scream came from outside the room once again!

The sound was very shrill, making Chi Rong's expression sink.

Chi Rong had wanted to harden her heart and not ask about it.

But after hesitating for a moment, Chi Rong sighed and left the room.

Once she left, Liu Qingze asked with morbid curiosity: "Sister, is that woman Bai Yufei crazy?"

"She isn't crazy, but if things continue like this, she will drive the people around her crazy!"

Liu Xin'ai spoke from the heart.

But Liu Qingze sensed danger.

He said, "Why don't I take you home to live? With such a lunatic around, who knows if she might do something to hurt you!"

Liu Xin'ai... how could she not want to go home with her brother?

But Qin Yiyan would not let go.

Liu Xin'ai curled her lips, her smile carrying a trace of bitterness.

Afterwards, she looked deeply at her brother, patted his shoulder, and said: "Hurry and become strong. Only when you are strong will your sister be at ease."

This was not the first time Liu Qingze had heard this sentence.

The first time he heard it, he had no particular insight, only feeling that his sister was hoping for her brother's growth.

However, at this very moment, in this very situation, Liu Qingze felt...

There must be a hidden meaning in this!

Just as Liu Qingze was secretly deep in thought, an argument came from outside the door.

To be precise, one woman was shouting, and another was earnestly trying to persuade her.

Because of the door between them, Liu Qingze could not hear the content of the shouting clearly.

But he was very curious, so he opened the door a crack.

Seeing him like this, Liu Xin'ai said helplessly: "Qingze..."

"Oh, Sister, I want to get some fresh air."

"Then we will open the window."

"Opening the window lets in a breeze, it will be cold; what if you catch a chill, what should we do then?"

Liu Qingze found a perfectly legitimate excuse.

But Liu Xin'ai was very clear about her brother's intentions.

She did not want her brother to listen to other people's private matters, so she went to close the door.

Seeing this, Liu Qingze hurriedly pressed down on her arm and bargained in a coaxing manner: "Sister, just let me listen for a while, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"Listening to other people's private matters is never a good thing."

"But this voice drifted over on its own; I haven't even left the room!"

This brat... he was clearly just twisting words to suit himself!

Liu Xin'ai frowned, wanting to speak.

But Liu Qingze hurriedly made a gesture for her to be quiet.

Then he stretched his neck out.

And then...

Bai Yufei's sharp and grating shout came drifting over—

"You cannot keep me locked up like this!"

Chi Rong stood outside the door and said earnestly: "Your brother also doesn't want you to do the wrong thing!"

"What is wrong with me finding a boyfriend!"

"You can find a boyfriend, but it absolutely cannot be Fang Yijing!"

"Hmph, I know, you look down on him, but what about you all? How noble are you? If things don't go your way, you lock me up. I am not Liu Xin'ai, who lets you bully her!!"

Bai Yufei's words caused Chi Rong's expression to change.

She rebuked repeatedly: "Enough, stop talking nonsense!"

Bai Yufei did not obey Chi Rong's command.

Instead, she became even more excessive: "How am I talking nonsense? Isn't it because you bully Liu Xin'ai for having no one in her maiden family, and she herself is a pushover? If it weren't for those sluts like Jiang Baobao, she would probably have been bullied to death by you all!"

"I told you to stop talking!"

"You forbid me, so I won't talk? I won't just talk here; I want everyone to know your true colors!"

Facing the emboldened Bai Yufei, Chi Rong's breathing became rapid.

To avoid these words being heard by Liu Qingze, Chi Rong prepared to have someone open the door so she could go in and give a warning.

But from behind Chi Rong, a cold voice came first: "What does this woman mean?"

The appearance of that young man made Chi Rong silently close her eyes.

She thought that, in the end, it had still been heard!

Chi Rong's heart was filled with guilt.

Upon turning around, she apologized first: "I am very sorry."

"So everything that woman said is true!?"

Bai Yufei inside the room felt that this voice was a bit unfamiliar.

After carefully distinguishing it for a moment, she sneered: "Liu Qingze, is that you? Heh, you're late. If you had come a few days earlier, you would have seen how your good sister lost her freedom and was locked in a room!"

"What did you say!?"

Liu Qingze's gaze suddenly became terrifying.

His chest was heaving up and down.

It seemed as if his overflowing anger was about to erupt!

Chi Rong then called out sternly: "Fei'er!"

"What, afraid to let people know? You yourselves feel guilty, don't you! Actually, even if you let him know, so what? He's just a stinky brat; isn't he easily played in circles by you all?!"

Bai Yufei's words made the atmosphere at the scene ready to explode at any moment!
