373 No One Is Allowed to Bully Her Except Me 6 (1/2)
The man beside her answered, ”Missy, I reckon everyone will forget about this matter very soon. Once the situation blows over, your meticulous plan and efforts can only go down the drain.”
”Yes, I know that, of course.”
”Missy, why don't you get Chi Rui'er to take a high-definition photo together with that old fogey?”
”Dimwit. That old fogey is now admitted to the hospital. Jin Qingyan must be guarding him closely. Why would he even allow Chi Rui'er to enter? But we can't wait 'til the matter blows over to take action, I doubt we'll be able to garner any attention by then,” said Xu Youran.
”Well, then…”
”Pass me the phone.”
The man then handed Xu Youran the mobile phone, after which the latter proceeded to give Chi Rui'er a phone call.
”Where did you go?”
”…”
”Okay, you have to rush here by afternoon,” Xu Youran ordered before hanging up the phone.
”What did she do?” the man asked.
”She went to settle her mother down. Her mother has heart disease.” Xu Youran picked up the goblet on the table before continuing to speak, ”Tonight, we'll strike with our ultimate move and catch Jin Qingyan off guard.”
”Missy, what's the ultimate move?”
”You'll know tonight.”
Knock! Knock!
”Come in,” said Xu Youran as she looked up at the door.
Xu Yang entered and asked smilingly, ”What are you doing? Why don't you go out to have some fun?”
”Why haven't you gone to work yet, Elder Brother?”
”I have the day off today. Earlier, Xiaoning, who works at the police station, gave me a call to say that she experienced an elevator malfunction while she was here to attend the business gathering the other evening. She wanted me to inform the butler to fix it,” Xu Yang explained with a grin.
”Hasn't our elevator always been running rather well?”
”Yeah, that's what I thought too. So, just refrain from taking the elevator these few days. Wait 'til the repair and maintenance works are done.”
”Alright.” Xu Youran stood up and handed him a goblet before pouring him some wine. ”Brother, I heard that An Xiaoning is highly efficient at solving cases at the police station. Isn't she Jin Qingyan's woman? Why is she so willing to work with the police?”
”Because I went to look for her and sought her help personally. Why else would she be willing to go out of her own accord? She indeed has what it takes and is a little strong-headed as well. But then again, most capable people are bound to be opinionated, more or less,” Xu Yang explained.
Xu Youran nodded and said, ”I think she's really pretty. She's been in a relationship with Jin Qingyan for so long.”
”Not that long, I suppose? She just came back from abroad recently. Her son is already four or five years old. But I'm not sure if she did return to the country in between,” Xu Yang clarified.
”Son? Whose son?” Xu Youran asked in bewilderment, for she had never heard of An Xiaoning's son before.
”Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning's son, of course. They share a child together.”
”Why haven't I read about that on the news before?” Xu Youran asked.
”I'm not too sure about that. Perhaps Jin Qingyan told the press not to report about it.”
”Oh, I see.” Xu Youran was filled with thoughts and curiosity as to what their child looked like.
Chi Rui'er did not make it to Xu Youran's house in the afternoon and instead only rushed over in the evening.
”Didn't I tell you to come in the afternoon?”
”My mother had a lapse in the afternoon, so I had to accompany her.”
Xu Youran looked up and asked, ”Was it because she found out about the news?”
”No. Have you got any important instructions for me?” asked Chi Rui'er.
”I'd like you to do one last thing for me. Have you helped your mother settle down yet?”
”Yes, I've found her a place.”
”You should tell her your bank account number and password.”
”Why?” Chi Rui'er asked in puzzlement.
