Chapter 558: Very Disappointed in You

~7 min read 1,370 words

"Yesterday..."

Jiang Baobao was silent for two seconds, but in the end, she couldn't help but speak first.

But she had only said two words when Liu Xin'ai hurriedly cut in: "Yesterday's matter was Rumeng's fault, Baobao, it is our Liu Family that has let you down! I..."

Liu Xin'ai knew that saying sorry was the most useless thing.

But right now, besides these three words, she didn't know what else she could say.

The two of them fell into silence again.

Jiang Baobao's mood was somewhat heavy; she pondered for two seconds before opening her mouth to say: "You don't need to say sorry to me. Just like last time, you are not the one who did wrong, and I won't take my anger out on you because of this matter, it's just that Liu Rumeng... I'm sorry, I have no way to let her off. If my actions yesterday had been any slower... Yanbao would have..."

The image was already in her mind, and she dared not continue speaking.

"Baobao, Rumeng did the wrong thing, this is the punishment she deserves, you don't need to apologize to me!"

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly replied.

She had just finished talking with Li Beijue and had figured it out in that very instant just now.

She had no way to tolerate that Liu Rumeng had actually done such a sinister thing.

Putting herself in her shoes, if the one kidnapped yesterday had been her child, she feared she would have taken her anger out on everyone related to the kidnappers!

That Li Beijue was able to let her through the door today was already an act of leniency.

"Xinaijie, you..."

Jiang Baobao was somewhat surprised that she would actually be so "righteous as to destroy her own kin."

Liu Xin'ai heard what she was confused about and explained helplessly: "Actually... I just left the Li Mansion..."

"What? You've been there?"

Jiang Baobao asked back in surprise.

"Mm."

Liu Xin'ai responded softly: "It was President Li who said you were still resting, so he took me to the study alone to talk..."

"He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Jiang Baobao knew Li Beijue's temperament and asked, feeling uneasy.

"No, you don't need to worry, he didn't say any harsh words to me."

Hearing her concern for her, Liu Xin'ai felt even more guilty: "I'm sorry, Baobao, I know that Yanbao is the most important existence in the world to you, but I still came to plead for Rumeng... after all... she is my younger sister."

"I know, Xinaijie..."

Jiang Baobao's mood was complicated.

Liu Xin'ai interrupted her words: "President Li told me about the things from before, so I have nothing to say. Rumeng has done too many wrong things... let her repent slowly in prison... I hope she can understand what a great mistake she has committed. After I go back, I will also tell my father. Once he knows what Rumeng has done, he will definitely not go to the Li Family to plead for her again. It is we who have let you and Yanbao down..."

"Xinaijie..."

Jiang Baobao felt somewhat uncomfortable inside, but in the end, she couldn't help but ask that most important question.

"Are we still friends?"

She was cautious, feeling a bit sad inside.

Liu Xin'ai did not expect her to ask this so suddenly; she was stunned for a moment before hurriedly answering: "Of course we are, if you are still willing to be friends with me..."

"Of course I'm willing! I've said it before, she is her, and you are you! Even if you are sisters, you are still two completely different people! And the fact that the uncle was able to recover is all thanks to you; it was you who first discovered that there was a problem with his medicine..."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she couldn't help but think of the things between the two of them in the past.

She then hurriedly continued: "I thought about it for a long time before I wanted to make this call to you, because I really cherish you as a friend, so I was afraid that the longer it dragged on, the heavier the knot between you and me would become, so it's better to just speak plainly."

"I understand."

Liu Xin'ai took the words very candidly: "Baobao, regarding Rumeng's matter, I will not have any grievances against anyone. She is not a child anymore; she did the wrong thing, so she should be punished. You don't need to worry about anything. As for me, I was even afraid before I came..."

She paused for a moment before continuing: "Forget it, let's not mention this. In any case, you are still my friend."

"That's good then..."

Jiang Baobao finally let out a long sigh of relief.

She knew Liu Xin'ai's personality, which was why she chose to speak plainly.

Immediately, she thought of something else and hurriedly said: "By the way, Xinaijie, the uncle and the Old Residence don't know about this matter, so please tell Father Liu that there is no need to go to the grandfather's place to apologize in person."

"Okay, thank you..."

Liu Xin'ai felt a weight lift from her heart.

The knot that had not yet formed was untied by the two of them with honesty.

"By the way, if there is a chance, can you let me see Yanbao? I want to make it up to him a little..."

Liu Xin'ai spoke again.

Jiang Baobao chuckled upon hearing this: "There's no need for making it up, but he likes Lego and drawing the most, so I wouldn't mind if Auntie Liu sent him a few more gifts..."

"Okay, I've noted it down. When I go to see him, I will definitely bring the gifts he likes!"

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly replied, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but think of Liu Rumeng.

She hesitated for two seconds, and finally asked tentatively: "Baobao, I have one last request. Can... you let me see Rumeng once? I have some things I want to ask her, and after that... I won't see her again."

"Okay, I will have Li Beijue notify them in a moment, you can go over now."

Jiang Baobao agreed without hesitation.

After saying a few more words, the two of them hung up the phone.

Half an hour later—Liu Xin'ai was brought to a door by the police.

"Fifteen minutes, Miss Liu, please make good use of your time."

The police officer gave a reminder, opened the door, and stood to the side, signaling for Liu Xin'ai to enter.

Liu Xin'ai calmed her mood before walking in.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Liu Rumeng looking haggard, handcuffed to the side of the table, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly having not slept all night.

Hearing the sound, Liu Rumeng suddenly raised her head, her expression instantly turning joyful!

"Sister! You finally came! Are you here to take me out!"

As Liu Rumeng spoke, she stood up excitedly.

Liu Xin'ai did not speak, but walked expressionlessly in front of her, and the next second—a loud "slap"!

Liu Rumeng was struck into silence.

Liu Xin'ai's hand, however, could not stop trembling.

"How did you promise me before! How dare you kidnap Baobao's child!"

She questioned Liu Rumeng sternly, her eyes filled with heartache.

Liu Rumeng, however, ignored the pain, and as soon as she recovered, she grabbed Liu Xin'ai's hand: "Sister! I was forced! It was all that bitch Jiang Baobao who forced me!"

"Slap!!!"

Liu Xin'ai slapped her again.

"She forced you? Do I need to repeat how you became friends with Li Beijue, and how you stole Yanbao!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Rumeng's eyes widened sharply.

"You... you know everything? It was that bitch Jiang Baobao who told you, right!"

As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Liu Xin'ai's arm even more wildly: "So what if I did it! What's the use of saying all this now? Sister!

I am your own sister! Are you going to watch me be locked up here? Aren't you and Jiang Baobao good friends? Go beg her for me! Make her let me out!"
