Chapter 841: Chapter 840 Restless Mind Chapter 841: Chapter 840 Restless Mind According to the butler, Jia Rong had been pregnant for a few months and should have been very clear about it herself. Yin Ping was a stepdaughter, whereas the child in her womb was the ace up her sleeve to secure her position in the Yin Family, Jia Rong should have been extremely cautious.
But she deliberately stood at the top of the stairs, which was very suspicious.
More likely than not, Jia Rong wanted to use this child to completely kick Yin Xiaobai out of the Yin Family. Yin Xiaobai had never threatened their mother-daughter status, yet Jia Rong still wanted to eliminate her completely.
“Heh, really, that Mr. Yin of yours is brain-damaged to a certain extent,” Qiao Xiaren scoffed coldly, “His daughter is missing, and he still has the mood to accompany that woman! He completely neglects his own flesh and blood.”
It was truly disheartening.
Si Limo had just put down his phone and came over, “Mu Nian bought a villa in the Capital, if you’re really worried, shall we go over now?”
“Let’s go take a look first.”
Qiao Xiaren walked around the front of the car and got into the passenger seat.
Mu Nian’s return to the country almost coincided with theirs; it’s possible he had set his sights on them, or rather on Yin Xiaobai, as early as the night at the bar.
Was there a deeper connection between Mu Nian and Yin Xiaobai?
Now wasn’t the time for such thoughts; though Mu Nian’s behavior was somewhat inscrutable and unpredictable, judging from the look in his eyes on the surveillance footage, it didn’t seem like he would harm Yin Xiaobai.
When Mu Nian looked at Yin Xiaobai, there was an indescribable meaning.
Qiao Xiaren had to acknowledge Mu Nian’s power once again. Even though the Mu Family currently did not acknowledge Mu Nian’s identity, to be able to take Yin Xiaobai away undetected under the Yin Family’s extensive surveillance system, his capabilities were undoubtedly strong.
“I will intervene, he won’t refuse to hand her over to you.”
Qiao Xiaren nodded, “Regardless, it’s not good for Xiaobai, a girl, to stay at a strange man’s home. Let’s have Xiaobai stay at Lishui Villa first.”
Returning to the Yin Family was out of the question for now, Jia Rong’s pregnancy had failed, and it was unclear what she would whisper into Yin Li’s ear. Yin Li was blind to start with, and who knows what Jia Rong could provoke him to believe.
Having such a family was indeed a headache.
“Limo, do you remember, the last time Bai Qiuqing’s nephew had his coming-of-age ceremony and you had me bring Yeqian along?”
Si Limo glanced at her, his expression unchanged, “I remember, is there an issue?”
“Bai Qiuqing seemed to be targeting Yeqian, did you already know something and deliberately provoke me to bring Yeqian to that coming-of-age celebration?”
“What do you mean ‘provoke,’ hmm?” That word was too loaded with negative connotations.
Qiao Xiaren had been talking by his side, and Si Limo suddenly felt a bit restless, her hand seeming to have slipped into his coat, intimate and natural.
Yet, he began to space out. All his senses seemed to focus on the spot she was touching.
“You raised the kid like a younger brother for so long, and you never investigated his background? Or maybe, has Yeqian never mentioned it to you?” Si Limo countered, as he started to speed up the car.
If he didn’t stop soon, he was indeed going to be rubbed raw by the person next to him.
Whenever she was by his side, no matter what he did, he found it hard to concentrate.
Qiao Xiaren paused; of course, Yeqian had mentioned it. He came from an orphanage and had no idea who his biological parents were from a young age.
He never spoke about these sorrowful things, and the media never knew either.
He was youthful, bubbly, and sunny. For many years since his debut, he had always maintained his own unique musical style, composing and writing lyrics for every song with dedication.
