The fire was put out.
A police officer walked towards Xu Ling and glanced at her broken wrist, pretending not to see it.
Then he said in an official tone, "Ms. Xu, please come with us for an investigation."
In Xu Ling's daze, she thought that everything would be fine after she signed the papers. Hearing that she still had to be investigated, she immediately said angrily, "I didn't set the fire. What are you doing? I know your chief. How dare you arrest me!"
Saying such words in public was simply despicable.
Many people had indescribable expressions. They felt that when the head of the Qi family returned, there would still be a mess to clean up.
The police officer's expression was ugly as he said even more seriously, "We'll know the details once we investigate. No matter who you know, there are national laws. Take them away!"
Xu Ling became even more agitated and frustrated. She had long forgotten about her pride and forgot about pretending to be an elegant lady.
She shouted, "How dare you capture me? When my husband comes back, all of you will be waiting to step down! Qi Yuan, you bastard, I'll skin you alive…"
When the guests present heard Xu Ling cursing such vulgar words, they simply couldn't bear to watch.
They had long heard that the mistress of the second branch of the Qi family was a dancer. Everyone thought that the rumors were fake, but from the looks of it, she was indeed uneducated.
Xu Ling did not even invite anyone from the Qi family's old residence for today's art exhibition. Their second branch family had been suppressed by the first and third branches of the Qi family for many years. Now, they wanted to take advantage of the marriage alliance with the Shen family to show off their high and mighty attitude. In the end, things turned out this way. At this moment, no one even came forward to stop Xu Ling from embarrassing herself.
Old Madam Qi hated people who were not presentable.
She had once insulted and bullied Qi Yuan with Xu Ling. Now that Xu Ling had lost all her face, it was time for the two of them to fight.
Qi Yuan looked at the cursing Xu Ling and tilted her head slightly. Her expression was as cute as when she killed Qi Yanran in her previous life.
She had to take her revenge slowly. How could she vent her hatred if she died so easily?
She wanted them to lose everything they wanted! To betray everything they loved! To die a horrible death!
Shen Yutang seemed to have exhausted his patience and left indifferently.
Qi Yuan stopped smiling and quickly followed Shen Yutang.
She had achieved her goal today, so she naturally did not want to stay in the Qi family that disgusted her.
She said that she wanted to sue the Qi family, but there was actually no evidence. It was a bigger lie that Xu Ling had deliberately wanted to kill her. When Song Ziqian woke up, he would also testify that the fire had started in the room. She only had one purpose for returning to the Qi family today, and that was to sever ties with them.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she forced Xu Ling to sign the severance agreement in public.
'I've achieved my goal. We'll meet again!'
… .
Upstairs, Qi Yanran was getting a little angry as she had been waiting for Song Ziqian and Qi Yuan to come up for a long time.
It was only until she smelled the smoke that she came out to check.
She was dressed in a grand gown and as proud as a princess. She stood elegantly on the steps and asked in dissatisfaction, "Where did all those guests go?"
At this moment, Qi Yanran saw someone, and the dissatisfaction on her face instantly turned to surprise.
There stood the Eldest Young Master Shen!
'Is he here for her exhibition?'
Qi Yanran's face was filled with joy. She lifted her skirt and quickly ran downstairs elegantly towards Shen Yutang.
Her tone was so gentle that it sounded like music. "Young Master, it's my honor that you came to my art exhibition. Didn't my sister come back with you?"
However, Shen Yutang did not even look at Qi Yanran. He directly pretended that Qi Yanran did not exist and brushed past her.
The gentle smile on Qi Yanran's face froze.
The next moment, she saw the woman covered by Shen Yutang's tall figure.
It was Qi Yuan!
How dare she show her original face?
Wasn't she with Song Ziqian? Why was she following Eldest Young Master around?
How dare Qi Yuan get so close to this man whom she could only look up to!
Qi Yuan also saw Qi Yanran. She glanced at Qi Yanran's abdomen and said meaningfully, "Sister, didn't you see me?"
That gaze was like a sharp dagger about to pierce through flesh.
