However...
Wait a minute.
Brother?
"Brother? You call our brother Ah ye?"
Xingkong had a proud look on her face, "It's a pleasure between adults, you wouldn't understand."
Qi Rongchen looked her up and down, she was as thin as a bean sprout, but he couldn't say that out loud. After all, this bean sprout was the one Ah ye had his eyes on. ...It's not easy for Ah ye to take a liking to a woman, he can't scare her away.
Qi Rongchen expressed it politely to the police, saying that Shen's old man was not in good health and couldn't handle the shock, so it would be better to inform him tomorrow morning. Therefore, when Qi Rongchen sent Xingkong back to the Shen family, the house was quiet.
She went back to her room, took a shower, and went to bed.
Tomorrow, there will probably be a good show.
After leaving the Shen family, Qi Rongchen went to Huo Siye's apartment.
Huo Siye didn't like to go back to the old house and usually lived here.
Yunshenchu was a high-end luxury apartment developed by Huo Siye's Junsheng Hotel Group.
He also liked quietness, except for the scheduled cleaning staff, no one else was there.
As soon as he entered, Qi Rongchen went straight to the study.
Sure enough.
He was still working in the middle of the night.
He would die suddenly sooner or later.
He walked in and put the supper next to his computer, "Take a break first?"
Huo Siye had just finished replying to an email, and he glanced silently at Qi Rongchen. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses from his nose and rubbed his eye sockets a few times. There was a hint of fatigue on his noble face. "Did you send her home?"
"I sent her off and watched her enter the gate. I only left after confirming that the lights in her room were on," he said.
"How did you know which room was hers?"
Qi Rongchen replied, "You're focusing on the wrong thing."
"Hmm," he said.
Qi Rongchen glared at him irritably. "I just sent your ward home, and this is how you treat me?"
Hearing that Xingkong had safely arrived home, Huo Siye breathed a sigh of relief. He put his glasses back on and continued to reply to his emails.
"Once you've crossed the river, you forget the bridge," Qi Rongchen snorted.
Huo Siye couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
Qi Rongchen was indignant. "You're a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Huo Siye still didn't respond to him.
He was used to Huo Siye ignoring everyone when he was working. Qi Rongchen sat down on a chair, opened his late-night snack, and took a bite of an egg yolk pastry. He spoke with a mouthful of food, "Let me tell you, your ward is like the poisoned apple in Snow White. Innocent on the outside, but poisonous on the inside!"
Huo Siye frowned slightly.
"Her sister is going to suffer," Qi Rongchen took a sip of his sago milk tea. "But I guess I've seen too many white lotus flowers. Suddenly, I'm very interested in your ward, this poisonous lotus flower... Oops, hot!"
Huo Siye picked up his water glass, his face unchanged. "My hand slipped."
Qi Rongchen's mouth twitched twice. He was really a god of hand-slipping.
"I'm just saying. I wouldn't dare to eat such a black-hearted apple," Qi Rongchen said.
Huo Siye suppressed his emotions and paused his fingers from replying to the email.
Black-hearted Apple...
"It's not good to speak ill of young girls like that," he said.
"But did you see how sinister she was smiling today? Do you know what she's doing? She's framing Shen Xinai for drug possession. Such a young girl with such a cruel heart. She's going to be trouble in the future."
But perhaps only a girl like her could survive in the treacherous Huo family.
Unlike Huo Siye's mother, who was weak and could be bullied by anyone.
"If you're cruel, you should do it early," he said.
"Huh? No, that's not what I meant. I'm... okay, forget it. I'm eating, do you want some? It's pretty good."
"I'm not eating."
"Okay then." Qi Rongchen took another bite of the egg yolk pastry, looking satisfied. "Your maid may not have a good appearance, but she has good taste. I purposely took a detour when I came back, and she didn't recommend wrong. This egg yolk pastry is delicious... oh, you're not eating?"
Huo Siye took a bite of the egg yolk pastry, a barely noticeable curve forming at the corner of her mouth. "Hmm, it's really good."
Qi Rongchen "..."
This woman was fickle, and so were men?
...
Dong Ru zhu was awakened by the noise downstairs.
She came downstairs, looking angry, and asked the servant, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Madam, it's the reporters..."
"Reporters? What are reporters doing here?" A sense of foreboding crept over Dong Ru zhu as she pressed her temple. What else could have happened since Shen Xinkong turned rebellious?
Trouble seemed to pile up one after another.
"This little bitch, she's a jinx," the maid said, trembling as she turned on the TV and switched to the live news channel. On the screen, a haggard-looking girl tearfully accused her tormentors, "She and her gang of girlfriends beat me up all the time. They've locked me in the bathroom and kicked and punched me several times. My body is covered in bruises." The girl lifted her sleeve to reveal her arms, which were covered in purple and blue marks.
The reporter gasped, "Are all these bruises from Shen Xinai?" The girl nodded, tears streaming down her face. "Yes, she did this to me. Ever since I rejected her friend's advances, I've become her target. There are many more bruises like this on my body."
The reporter couldn't bear to watch any longer. How could this sweet girl be beaten up like this? It was despicable. "I've endured all of this, but what I can't bear is that she actually...she drove someone to jump off a building, but she's blaming me for it. I'm really scared! I'm afraid of retaliation, so even when I was sent to a juvenile detention center, I didn't dare to resist! I thought that if I kept quiet, Shen Xinai would spare me and my family! But I was wrong. My silence didn't earn Shen Xinai's mercy. Instead, she retaliated even more against my family!"
The reporter pressed for more details. "Can you tell us what she did?"
The girl's eyes were red from crying, and her face was full of indignation. "My dad...he only runs a small cosmetics company, but Shen Xinai deliberately framed him, saying that the products contained excessive chemicals and threatening to cut off the supply chain. My mom is very sick, and she scared her with people. She's still in the hospital now!"
"Are you telling the truth? Do you have any evidence?"
"I guarantee that every word I said is true! You can go ask the school, but I doubt you'll find anything. Whether you believe me or not, I will speak out! Shen Xinai, you must apologize to me! Apologize to those who have suffered from your campus violence!"
"Turn it off! Turn it off now!" Dong Ru zhu couldn't bear to watch anymore and yelled at the servant.
The servant quickly turned off the TV.
"What about Miss xinxin?"
"Miss Xinai...she's not in her room."
"What? Where did she go?"
"I...I don't know."
"Useless! What are you standing there for? Go find her!"
