Xu Xinchen had just stepped across the threshold when he heard Xu Yaxin calling his name. A cold smile appeared on her face as she slowly walked towards Xu Yaxin.

Because of the medication, Xu Xinchen's gait was still somewhat stiff, so she had to rely on Chen Ningsheng for support as he helped her walk inside.

Seeing that all the main figures involved had arrived, Qian Duowen immediately turned to the other designers and explained that they had something to attend to and asked the other designers to leave first.

The other designers, though unaware of what had happened, had witnessed the argument between Qian Duowen, Xu Yaxin, and Li Ling and vaguely understood that something significant must have occurred between them.

Now they saw Xu Xinchen stiffly being helped in by a man they didn't recognize. Recalling why Xu Xinchen had left earlier, and that Xu Yaxin had led her out when she left.

The designers roughly guessed what had happened, and to avoid getting involved, they immediately nodded and left.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Qian Duowen casually pulled up a chair and sat down: "Alright, everyone's gone now, so just handle things like this."

As Qian Duowen spoke, he glared fiercely at Xu Yaxin: "Let me make this clear first, I know nothing about this, but since this happened in my family, it will have a certain impact on my family's reputation. So if this matter is not resolved properly, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Ever since Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng walked in, Xu Yaxin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Now, upon hearing Qian Duowen's words, her face turned deathly pale.

But at this moment, Li Ling couldn't help but deliver a heavy blow to Xu Yaxin: "Let me make this clear, I only went up to help because I meant well. If some people want to drag me down like this, then I can only say that you've got the wrong idea. I won't obediently let others set me up."

Xu Yaxin stared blankly at the people present, her mind filled with disbelief. After a few seconds, she slowly shook her head: "No, no... how could this be..."

Seeing the scene before her, Xu Yaxin understood perfectly well that her and William's plan had failed, and not only had it failed, but it had also been exposed to everyone!

The photo she originally planned to use to blackmail Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng is now definitely gone. If that photo existed, those two would never have dared to come knocking on her door so rashly.

Something must have suddenly happened on William's side, causing the matter to stop progressing. Otherwise, Xu Xinchen wouldn't be so calm and composed right now.

Thinking about how William was still waiting for his assistant's call when she left, Xu Yaxin couldn't help but grit her teeth in resentment, and a thought was growing wildly in her mind.

It's all because of William, that good-for-nothing bastard who's more trouble than he's worth. If William hadn't been so overconfident and hadn't made his move on Xu Xinchen earlier, she wouldn't be in this situation now!

If those photos had been taken and given to her earlier, she wouldn't be in this predicament now. Xu Xinchen should be keeping a low profile by now!

Xu Xinchen had no idea what Xu Yaxin was thinking, and even if she did, she would probably just be cold and indifferent.

It's just a laugh. Some things, once missed, are missed forever, and there's no use regretting them now.

With Chen Ningsheng's help, she slowly walked towards the chair next to Qian Duowen and sat down gently when she reached it.

Chen Ningsheng carefully supported Xu Xinchen's arm, allowing her to sit safely on the chair. His movements were gentle and meticulous, making Qian Duowen and Li Ling lick their teeth and reveal expressions of unbearable disapproval.

Xu Yaxin felt a tightness in her chest as she watched Chen Ningsheng take such good care of Xu Xinchen, and her face grew increasingly grim.

Xu Xinchen had just been drugged and was still somewhat delirious, but her hatred for Xu Yaxin was impossible to conceal. While she was unconscious, she clearly heard a man speaking to her beside her.

Moreover, the man's voice was not Chen Ningsheng's at all. It wasn't until Chen Ningsheng frantically pounded on the door that the man's voice gradually disappeared, and then Chen Ningsheng burst into the room.

As Chen Ningsheng just mentioned, when he entered the room, there was a tripod specifically for placing cameras. Therefore, it is quite obvious what Xu Yaxin's purpose was in bringing her to that room.

Thinking about how she almost fell into a trap, Xu Xinchen wished she could tear Xu Yaxin to pieces right then and there. Why does such a disgusting person as Xu Yaxin exist in this world?

"Ms. Xu, I would like to ask you to explain why you gave me a Coke laced with drugs, and why you took me to a strange hotel after I fell unconscious!"

Xu Yaxin wasn't in the hotel, so she didn't know that Chen Ningsheng and his group hadn't actually encountered William; William had already left before the group even entered the room.

Hearing Xu Xinchen's question, Xu Yaxin thought that Xu Xinchen was deliberately using these things to humiliate her. She immediately turned her head away and replied with disgust, "Didn't you already know? Why do you have to pretend to ask me again?"

A cold glint appeared in Chen Ningsheng's eyes. Looking at Xu Yaxin, who showed no remorse, all the affection he had for Xu Yaxin's father had now been worn away.

"Xu Yaxin," Chen Ningsheng said coldly.

Xu Yaxin's body stiffened instantly. This was the first time Chen Ningsheng had called her by her full name in such a cold tone. These words made Xu Yaxin feel inexplicably flustered.

However, in order to maintain her outward dignity, Xu Yaxin still pretended to be aloof and turned her head away, not wanting Chen Ningsheng and the others to see the panic on her face: "There's no need to call me by my name like that! Just say what you want! What exactly do you want!"
