Seeing that Hu Xiaofeng seemed to be looking at someone else through her, Qin Xi narrowed her eyes and her gaze suddenly became sharp. “What are you afraid of? Or rather, what are you hiding?”
Hu Xiaofeng felt guilty and subconsciously changed the topic. “W-What did you say? I don’t understand. We came today to ask you to come home for a meal. The old man has something to tell you. Come quickly!”
Li Guihua did not notice anything amiss, but Zhang Cuiyun felt that Hu Xiaofeng was hiding something. However, now was not the time to ask. Her goal today was to lure Qin Xi back. When she got the money, the Lin family would be nothing in her eyes.
“I’m not going back!” Qin Xi’s eyes immediately lit up with fear, and she shook her head like a rattle-drum.
Li Guihua panicked. A loving look appeared on her mean face as she coaxed, “Xi, are you still angry with your grandfather?”
She sighed and pretended to be guilty. “Xi, you have to believe that your grandfather dotes on you the most. All these years, your grandfather never wanted to abandon you. Actually, before you were born, a Daoist came to our house. That Daoist said that we shouldn’t bring up too indulgently, or she would die at birth. Therefore, in order to let you live, I had no choice but to treat you harshly.”
Regardless of whether what Li Guihua said was true or not, the second half made Qin Xi frown.
Daoist?
Die at birth?
She subconsciously looked at Hu Xiaofeng and saw that her face was a little pale and her eyes were wandering.
This time, Qin Xi was even more certain that Hu Xiaofeng’s biological daughter was dead, and she was not her biological daughter at all.
However, seeing that Li Guihua and Zhang Cuiyun did not seem to be suspicious at all, they probably did not know the truth that Hu Xiaofeng’s biological daughter was dead.
Of course, there was another most important clue, which was that Hu Xiaofeng should have met the Host’s biological parents.
Just now when Hu Xiaofeng saw her, it was as if she was looking at someone else through her.
“Yes, Xi, let’s go back together. It’s just a meal. We’ll be back after eating!” Hu Xiaofeng forced a smile.
Qin Xi pursed her lips and pondered for a moment. After a while, she nodded. “Alright, let me lock the door.”
“Okay, okay, we’ll wait for you!” Seeing her nod, Li Guihua was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling.
While Qin Xi was locking the door in the courtyard, Zhang Cuiyun tugged at Li Guihua and said suspiciously, “Mom, I think it’s strange that the little b*tch agreed so readily.”
Li Guihua said indifferently, “What’s strange about that? Hasn’t she always been like this?”
“No, haven’t you noticed that in the past few confrontations, that little b*tch has been very calm and composed? This time… I have a feeling that she shouldn’t compromise so easily!”
Especially the first two times Qin Ling and Qin Lan were taught a lesson by that little b*tch. This made her feel that Qin Xi had changed and become even more fierce.
Although Li Guihua also felt that Qin Xi was different from before, there were so many people in the Qin family. It was not a problem for them to deal with a little girl like her. Then, she said confidently, “Don’t worry, she’s just a little girl. There are so many of us against her. I don’t believe she can escape.”
Zhang Cui thought so and did not say anything else.
Just like that, the three of them escorted Qin Xi to the Qin family like bodyguards. When the villagers passing by saw this, a trace of surprise flashed across their eyes.
Didn’t they fall out some time ago? It had only been a few days, but they had already made up?
Everyone was making speculations!
