Chapter 826 Why don’t you wait until they have a baby?

She looked at me in confusion, but smiled politely and said, "I don't have a boyfriend yet, so I don't need to ask for anyone else's consent."

"Huh?" I widened my eyes exaggeratedly. "The last time I saw you, you were with a tall, thin, handsome guy with a shadow on his back. He even ruffled your hair. I thought he was your boyfriend."

Si Kou Ting's eyes narrowed and she blurted out, "Where did you see it?"

Then she probably realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she lifted her bangs again and said with a smile, "Miss Xia must have recognized the wrong person. I don't even have any male friends, let alone a boyfriend."

I shrugged innocently, "Oh, then if you don't have a boyfriend, then I might have recognized the wrong person."

After Si Kouting left, I made a gesture to Xiao Shiqiu to keep quiet, then tiptoed to the door. I stood on tiptoe but couldn't reach the peephole. I jumped several times and finally reached it, but it was too fast to see clearly. In order to see clearly whether she had entered the elevator, I jumped again.

Damn~ Whose cat-eye glasses are so high!

Xiao Shiqiu looked at me and smiled, "What do you want to do?"

I lowered my voice and said, "I just want to make sure she's not leaning against the door and eavesdropping on us.

Is this cat's eye trying to reach the sky? Why is it so high?

“Haha~ This office is mine alone, and the peephole is installed at a height that matches my height.

There's a surveillance camera at this door. Come over here, I can see it on my computer. Don't jump around there, save your energy for eating later."

When I turned around and saw that he was still shaking with laughter, I realized that I was being laughed at.

I pouted and sat on his lap, poking his chest with my finger. "Stop laughing, I'm telling you something serious."

He grabbed my hand that was darting around and said, "Tell me, what's the business? If you keep moving around, I'm afraid you'll have to do something serious before you can go out to eat."

I couldn't help but poke his head and said, "Pour out the garbage in your head. I really have something serious to say."

Xiao Shiqiu exaggeratedly wiped his face with his hand, revealing the elegant smile that a good entrepreneur should have, "You say~"

Wow, he changed his expression in one second and almost made me lose consciousness.

It took me a few seconds to find my voice. "Well, on the day we got engaged, I saw Si Kouting and Lu Yuanqing together in the bathroom. I didn't hear what they said, but Lu Yuanqing touched Si Kouting's head and looked very gentle. Their relationship must be more than simple! They might be secret lovers."

I said it all in one breath, waiting for my old Xiao to praise me for providing such important information.

The teasing in Xiao Shiqiu's eyes disappeared, and he looked at me helplessly, "You're only telling me about what happened on the day of our engagement? Why didn't you wait until they had the baby before telling me?"

"Hehe~" I laughed awkwardly, "I wanted to tell you the other day, but someone interrupted me and I forgot about it. Now, when we talked about her boyfriend today, I remembered it."

He pinched my face and shook it twice. "You have the nerve to say that my head is full of nonsense. It's not too late to remember now. I have to call Lao Wen."

On the phone, he told Wen Congwu what I had just told him, and this news suddenly boosted Wen Congwu's spirits.

"It seems that Si Kouting and Lu Yuanqing's relationship is much closer than we thought. I found some new clues at the welfare home and hope to get some useful information.

I'll check the surveillance footage from your engagement party to see if I can find anything."

Wen Congwu hung up the phone excitedly, and I felt a pang of unease. "I wonder what Captain Wen found out. Could Si Kouting really be Lu Yuanqing's secret lover? I wonder how she can tolerate all the scandals Lu Yuanqing has going on outside."

Xiao Shiqiu knocked on my head. "Is their melodramatic love the only thing you care about? Si Kou Ting is very goal-oriented and very patient. It's not impossible for her to endure humiliation in order to marry into the Lu family."

I nodded in agreement. "I think I'm pretty tolerant now. You can hit my head casually, and I didn't even resist~~"

"Haha," Xiao Shiqiu laughed, picked me up, and rubbed his chin against my face several times. "You can also choose to retaliate, such as torturing me to death."

"You rascal~" I couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"But that's not right," I had always felt something was wrong, and now I remembered, "If she was in love with Lu Yuanqing because of their childhood feelings, then she should have been with him for more than a day or two, and she definitely didn't just fall in love with him.

But she clearly liked you before, including the way she looks at you now. I am very sure of this. Don't tell me you don't know."

Xiao Shiqiu paused, frowned, and defended himself, "I've never given her any hints or hopes. Besides, there have been so many women who have liked me since I was a child. I'm used to it. This doesn't bother me at all. You don't have to be jealous for no reason."

I punched him in the chest. "Narcissist, be serious. She's clearly hostile to me, from the very beginning, and it must be because of you. If she's already set her heart on Lu Yuanqing, why did I still sense that hostility just now?"

And it was clearly filled with jealous hostility.”

Xiao Shiqiu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Now that you mention it, it's indeed a little unlike her. If she's with Lu Yuanqing because of money, I checked her bank statements and there's nothing unusual."

He suddenly seemed to remember something and called Wen Congwu, "Old Wen, have you checked the bank statements of Si Kouting's adoptive parents?"

"I checked and there's no large amount of cash flow. They're currently running a small convenience store, and it seems business is doing well. Although her adoptive father needs dialysis once a week, the family's income seems to be enough to cover the medical expenses.

Her adoptive mother also goes to the bank to deposit money once a week.”

"Save money?" Xiao Shiqiu repeated.

"Yes, I thought it was a bit strange at first, too. Mobile payments are all accepted nowadays. But the police officer who went to investigate said the convenience store is located in the old town, where there are many elderly people, so they still mainly accept cash."

Wen Congwu added, "You know, before we confirm that Si Kouting is a suspect, we can't just check her adoptive parents' bank accounts. We can only focus on unusually large transactions.

From the surface, even Lu Yuanqing cannot be identified as a suspect, let alone Si Kouting.

Alas, if there was just one piece of solid evidence, I could start investigating the case with all my strength. Now I just have to rely on the skinning operation."

Operation Skinning? The code name for this undercover operation is a bit perfunctory.
