Chen Yu noticed that Qiao Xin was rather quiet today, as if she had something on her mind.

He then asked with concern, "Xiaoxin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Xin is Qiao Meng's younger sister, which is also his sister-in-law. For various reasons, he doesn't seem to have a good impression of Qiao Xin, so he decides to take this opportunity to show her goodwill.

However, Qiao Xin was completely unmoved by Chen Yu's concern and inquiry. She snorted coldly, "Don't call me Xiao Xin! We're not that close."

"You child, Xiao Chen is your future brother-in-law. How can you talk to your brother-in-law like that?" Liu Tonghua scolded.

"Brother-in-law?" Qiao Xin laughed angrily, then pointed at Lin Lele, a bystander sitting to the side, "Ask her where she went last night?"

Lin Lele was enjoying the gossip when she was suddenly targeted. Her heart skipped a beat, and she stammered, "I...where can I go? Aren't I sleeping with you?"

"Really?" Qiao Xin raised an eyebrow. "I saw with my own eyes that you sneaked out of the room in the middle of the night last night."

"Impossible!" Lin Lele immediately retorted, "You were sleeping like a log, how could you possibly see me..."

Lin Lele suddenly realized she had let something slip and quickly covered her mouth.

"Heh~" Qiao Xin sneered, "You didn't expect that, did you? I caught you red-handed. You thought I was sleeping? Actually, I've been on guard against you all along!"

"I... I need to go to the bathroom!" Lin Lele hurriedly made up an excuse, her voice filled with panic and unease.

"Going to the toilet? You went to the toilet and didn't come back until dawn? I can't help but ask, where did you go all night in this cold weather?" Qiao Xin ruthlessly exposed Lin Lele's lie, and said with a teasing look.

"I...I..." Lin Lele stammered, unable to find a more reasonable explanation for a moment.

She secretly glanced at Chen Yu, hoping he would say a word for her, but Chen Yu remained unmoved, calm and composed, acting as if it were none of his business.

Actually, despite Chen Yu's calm demeanor on the surface, his heart was in turmoil, even though his relationship with Lin Lele, Qiao Meng, and Yang Yue was something he could be proud of.

But this is, after all, Qiao Meng's home!

Lin Lele was speechless when Qiao Xin asked her a question, but seeing Chen Yu's calm and composed demeanor, she thought to herself, "If Chen Yu isn't afraid, why should I be? It makes me look like a mistress!"

So she took a deep breath, straightened her back, and was about to boldly confess her relationship with Chen Yu to everyone.

Just then, Qiao Gang said in a deep voice, "Alright! What's all the noise about so early in the morning?"

"Qiao Xin, I'm telling you again, Lin Lele is a guest, you're not allowed to be rude to her!"

“But…” Qiao Xin was unconvinced and wanted to say something more.

"Hmm~?" Qiao Gang glared at Qiao Xin, his eyes filled with undeniable authority.

Seeing this, Qiao Xin, though unwilling, ultimately shut her mouth, lowered her head, and said nothing more.

A crisis has now been averted.

Chen Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if this matter blows up, he'll be in an awkward position.
