Chapter 1284: That Is Her True Self

~7 min read 1,375 words

"Huh? That was really too light; why didn't he kick a few more times?!"

Cai Xiaotang truly felt that Qin Yiyan deserved a beating.

Just based on the things he had done, even beating and kicking him wouldn't be excessive!

At this moment, she even wished she could land a few kicks on his behalf for Liu Qingze!

Seeing her like this, Jiang Baobao helplessly reminded her: "Although hitting people is satisfying, it's not the way to solve things, and if it blows up, Qing Ze will be the one to suffer."

Hmm...

This logic, Cai Xiaotang understood too.

But this didn't affect Cai Xiaotang's impulse in the slightest.

She even said: "Even if I can't take action, can't I at least satisfy my mouth?"

Cai Xiaotang's words made the few of them smile involuntarily.

At this moment, Jiang Baobao's phone vibrated.

She took it out to look, then raised her eyebrows and said to everyone: "Latest news, Bai Yufei has moved out of the Qin Family!"

Once these words were out, they immediately attracted the attention of the others.

Cai Xiaotang widened her eyes and pressed: "Really? Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable. Beijue happened to be in a meeting at a five-star hotel auditorium, and when he came out, he ran into Bai Yufei giving the waiter a hard time, saying the pillows in her room weren't soft enough. After asking around, he heard that the woman had brought her luggage and intended to stay at the hotel for a week."

Since it was Li Beijue who had personally inquired, there was no need to doubt its authenticity.

So...

The Qin Family was really going to draw a line with Bai Yufei?

Liu Xin'ai felt that everything was happening so fast.

But thinking about Bai Yufei's actions...

She felt that it wasn't hard to understand.

It was just that she didn't know if Chi Rong knew about this.

Regardless of whether Bai Yufei left or stayed, Chi Rong was the one who would be most heartbroken...

Liu Xin'ai was lost in thought when she suddenly felt a palm waving in front of her.

She looked up and heard Jiang Baobao saying: "Since she's left, stop thinking about the Qin Family's affairs. Let's make some plans and see where to go to relax."

Relax?

Liu Xin'ai hadn't considered this question, and she didn't have any ideas.

But Cai Xiaotang did!

She looked at her friends excitedly and suggested: "I know of a Resort, the scenery inside is especially beautiful. Especially the sunset and the starry sky at night, it's breathtaking!"

"Is it far from here?"

"Not far, just a few hours' drive, and we can bring our own ingredients and have the chefs there prepare them!"

Jiang Baobao thought for a moment and said: "Tasting the specialties at the Shanzhuang wouldn't be bad either."

"Their specialty..." Cai Xiaotang recalled and said: "Is grilled fish!"

Hmm...

Jiang Baobao and Liu Xin'ai exchanged a glance and laughed: "Then let's just bring our own ingredients."

The group settled on a preliminary plan.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been silent, sighed: "You guys go ahead, our school has teaching and research activities recently, I can't spare the time."

"Ah, not even two days?"

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head with a sigh.

Jiang Baobao didn't force her, only saying: "It's okay, we'll go together next time."

Next time...

To be honest, Liu Xin'ai wasn't sure how much longer she could be free.

So whether she could keep the appointment for this next time, Liu Xin'ai wasn't sure.

Because she was unsure, Liu Xin'ai sighed heavily.

Her sigh made her friends all look over.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai lightly furrowing her brows, everyone guessed what she was worried about.

Cai Xiaotang took the initiative to hold her hand and said: "As long as you don't want to go back, Qin Yiyan can forget about taking you away! If he dares to use underhanded schemes, then we'll give him a taste of his own medicine!"

Liu Xin'ai didn't want to implicate her friends and hurriedly said: "You guys shouldn't, for my sake..."

"We aren't doing it for you!" Before Liu Xin'ai could finish, Jiang Baobao interrupted her: "We are doing it for justice!"

This reason...

Made the women unable to hold back, and they all laughed out loud.

Their laughter was relaxed and crisp.

It made those who heard it forget their troubles as well.

The servants of the Liu Family really missed the sound of laughter.

Ever since the master fell ill, the atmosphere in the house had been very oppressive.

Laughter seemed to have vanished from this home as well.

But at this moment, the excited atmosphere made people feel hope!

Yet some people watched all of this with a face as dark as water.

Qin Yiyan was standing outside the window.

Through the glass, he stared unblinkingly at Liu Xin'ai's face, which was full of smiles.

She was clearly the person sleeping right beside him.

Yet, the way she looked so happy made Qin Yiyan feel like she was a stranger...

Standing beside Qin Yiyan was Liu Qingze.

He was also watching Liu Xin'ai.

But unlike the stern-faced Qin Yiyan, Liu Qingze's face held a look of nostalgia: "This is how my sister should look!"

After saying this, he looked at Qin Yiyan again, his voice filled with provocation: "Has she ever been this relaxed in your home?"

"She has."

"That was only when friends came to visit, right!"

To this, Qin Yiyan did not deny it.

His silence caused Liu Qingze to let out a cold snort.

Then, his expression suddenly darkened, and he coldly questioned: "Have you ever thought about what your marriage has actually brought her?"

Qin Yiyan had wanted to say: reputation, status, and a child.

But after thinking about it...

These were all things Qin Yiyan had forced upon Liu Xin'ai; as for Liu Xin'ai herself...

She likely didn't want them at all!

Thinking of this, Qin Yiyan chose to remain silent.

Seeing that he wouldn't speak, Liu Qingze answered for him: "Everything you've brought my sister, aside from pain, is nothing but repression! You are simply not fit to be my sister's husband!"

"Enough!" Qin Yiyan's voice was fierce.

But Liu Qingze was not afraid, and even retorted: "You think what I said is wrong?"

"Of course, you don't understand what we have been through at all, so you have no right to judge!"

"Heh, I've only learned of two or three things, and I already feel resentment toward you. If I knew everything... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stop myself from killing you!"

Liu Qingze's remarks became increasingly radical.

Qin Yiyan's brows knitted together.

He detested the other man's rudeness and overstepping, so he warned him: "My affairs with your sister, whether good or bad, will be resolved by us ourselves; stay out of it!"

"Are you ordering me? Heh, I won't listen to you!"

"You had better listen, otherwise if I withdraw my capital, your company will run into big trouble!"

Liu Qingze was quiet for a moment.

He seemed to have misgivings.

But what was the truth?

A mocking smile slowly curled onto his lips: "Is this the method you usually use to threaten my sister?"

Qin Yiyan wanted to deny it.

But...

Would such a denial have any meaning?

Liu Qingze would not believe it.

Qin Yiyan also could not change the fact that he had indeed threatened Liu Xin'ai.

After hesitating for two or three seconds, Qin Yiyan's lips moved.

Yet he said: "Since Xin'ai is having fun, then let her stay for a few more days."

After saying this, Qin Yiyan turned and left.

Looking at his retreating figure, it even seemed a bit like he was fleeing in a panic.

Liu Qingze stared at his back, his lips pressed tightly together.

He had only remembered after arriving at the company that he had left an important document at home, so he drove back to retrieve it.

As it turned out, just as he returned, he saw Qin Yiyan's car parked outside the main gate.

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