Cui Nan had a tense expression, clearly dissatisfied with Cui Ziqi's repeated and ruthless attempts to drive him away.

She abruptly stood up, glanced coldly at Xia Wan, and then looked at Cui Ziqi with eyes full of disappointment.

“Ziqi, I’ve never had any expectations of you since you were little. I just wanted you to be happy and healthy, but you’ve disappointed me this time.”

She finished speaking coolly, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.

"etc."

Cui Ziqi called out to her coldly, pointing to the bank card on the table.

"Take it."

Feeling utterly humiliated in front of Xia Wan, Cui Nan grabbed her bank card and left without looking back.

It was our first meeting, though.

Xia Wan then understood why Cui Ziqi didn't treat this aunt, the only one in the Cui family who had ever shown him kindness, as anything special.

His aunt's kindness towards him wasn't for pure reasons.

Cui Nan and Cui Jiyang are of the same generation, so perhaps she knows about Cui Ziqi's mother.

She needed to find an opportunity to sound out Cui Nan's opinion.

Just then, a large hand grabbed her collar from behind, and she was lifted up like a chick.

"What? You can't get enough of looking at men's backs, you want to look at women's too?"

A cool voice came from behind me.

Xia Wan retorted instinctively, "Who was looking at the man's back?"

"On the cruise ship, Zheng Minghuai."

Six words, spoken through gritted teeth.

Eve turned to Cui Ziqi helplessly, "How many years ago was that jealousy? Are you still jealous?"

Cui Ziqi snorted coldly, but did not deny it.

He carried Xia Wan to the dining table.

"By the way, could you help me find the contact information for the girl who helped me at the movie theater yesterday? I'd like to thank her."

At the dinner table, Xia Wan suddenly thought of the girl who had stood up for her in the bathroom yesterday.

They saved my life, how could I not thank them in person?

She leaned slightly forward and looked at Cui Ziqi sitting opposite her.

This shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Cui Ziqi swallowed the bun in her mouth before looking at Xia Wan and saying calmly, "Do you know who tried to beat you up yesterday?"

Xia Wan shrugged indifferently.

"As a young girl, the only people I could offend are a few from the Cui family. You don't even need to guess."

Her nonchalant tone made it seem as if she wasn't the one who was beaten yesterday.

Zuo Cheng couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart.

As expected of my sister-in-law, she has guts!

Cui Ziqi frowned. "Don't you want revenge?"

"Yes, I do," Xia Wan replied quickly, smiling at Cui Ziqi. "Isn't that what you're here for? As long as you don't kill anyone, I'll let you help me get revenge however you want."

Cui Ziqi: ...

Was he begging her to get revenge?

After breakfast.

Thanks to Zuo Chengchao's highly efficient work, Xia Wan successfully obtained the contact information of the cleaning lady from yesterday.

She crawled back into bed.

Cui Ziqi and Zuo Cheng went into the study to discuss matters.

"Brother Qi, it has been confirmed that the person who attacked your sister-in-law yesterday was instigated by your father."

The two sat in the study, and Zuo Cheng reported everything he had found to Cui Ziqi.

"As for the cleaning lady who saved my sister-in-law yesterday, her name is Su Meng. She doesn't have a regular job and just does odd jobs wherever she can make money. The incident between Zheng Minghuai and Xia Zhizhi a while ago was also stirred up by this cleaning lady and stayed on the trending searches for several days. She was able to help my sister-in-law when her life was in danger, so she must be a good person."

Cui Ziqi gave a faint "hmm".

It seems they didn't take Su Meng's matter to heart.

That's true. After Xia Wan repays her debt of gratitude, there may not be any further contact. Cui Ziqi has never cared about unimportant people.

"The pharmaceutical factory in the southern part of the Cui family had a medical accident a while ago, right?"

Cui Ziqi suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, Zuo Cheng replied, "Yes, just last month, Mr. Cui... Mr. Cui still asked you, Brother Qi, to handle it."

Cui Ziqi looked up at Zuo Cheng, seemingly puzzled.

Did he handle it?

Why don't I remember him?

"Brother Qi, have you forgotten? Last month, there was a problem with Cui's Pharmaceutical Factory. More than a dozen families died from serious illnesses because they bought Cui's medicine. Master Cui asked you to suppress those people and told us to take the compensation money to appease them."

Cui Ziqi thought about it and realized that there seemed to be such a thing.

He waved his hand lazily, not wanting to think about it further.

"Go find those people and have them file a joint appeal. Remember, make a big fuss about it."

Zuo Cheng looked at Cui Ziqi in surprise, "Brother Qi, what will Master Cui do to you if he finds out...?"

Cui Ziqi's lips curled into a frivolous yet bloodthirsty smile. "Then we'll have to see what he's capable of."

Zuo Cheng looked at Cui Ziqi in surprise at her arrogant and unrestrained appearance.

He was shocked to realize once again that Xia Wan's arrival had changed him a lot.

It seems that Qi Ge had something on Cui Jiyang, who used him as a tool and a ball to kick around. He was used to obey, or rather, he was too lazy to resist.

Even now, Qi Ge still has something to hide, but because he wants to protect Xia Wan, he has grown a few thorns. If Cui Jiyang makes a move, the sharp thorns will pierce Cui Jiyang's hand, leaving him covered in blood.

Zuo Cheng thinks that Qi Ge is very good now.

At least he began to resist and no longer had to suffer those inhuman tortures.

"By the way, Brother Qi, Duan Shuangshuang wants to see you."

Cui Ziqi paused on the armrest of the seat, then tapped it cheerfully, as if with some inexplicable excitement.

His smile deepened, but his deep eyes were filled with a terrifying ferocity.

It's finally here.

Xia Wan sat on the bed and dialed the number Zuo Cheng had given her.

The phone rang for a long time before a sleepy, annoyed voice finally came from the other end.
