Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuyan's gaze deepened, and he emphasized, "When?"

"Just now," Qi Jincheng said solemnly, "she went back to the Qiao family with Jun Jiuge, saying that Qiao Guangyuan and that woman caused a car accident that killed Xi'er's mother. The police have taken them away."

"How could I not know?" Bai Xiuyan had been keeping an eye on the Qiao family, yet he was completely unaware of such a major event.

Qi Jincheng was also unaware that such a thing had happened in just one day.

Bai Xiuyan calmly asked, "Does she know who her biological father is?"

"I don't know," Qi Jincheng replied firmly.

Bai Xiuyan warned him worriedly, "You'd better not tell her."

Qi Jincheng didn't bother to deny anything; he just wanted to emphasize one point: "I don't want her to suffer any more harm."

"I will handle this matter," Bai Xiuyan said coldly.

Qi Jincheng asked with some concern, "Does Qiao Guangyuan know who Xi'er's biological father is?"

Bai Xiuyan scoffed, "How could that idiot possibly know?"

"You don't need to worry about the rest."

After saying that, he ended the call.

The next day.

Qiao Xi was very rowdy after getting drunk, and Qi Jincheng barely slept all night.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, it was already dawn, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Sir, Madam."

"gentlemen?"

Qi Jincheng listlessly sat up in bed. Seeing that Qiao Xi was still fast asleep, he could only get up and open the door.

“Sir.” Aunt Liu was standing outside the door.

Qi Jincheng frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Aunt Liu knew she shouldn't disturb them, but a guest had arrived. "Mrs. Du is here."

When he was told that she was Mrs. Du, Qi Jincheng didn't immediately understand.

Aunt Liu immediately changed her address again, calling her "Little Aunt Madam".

Upon hearing this, Qi Jincheng understood, but his expression didn't improve much. "What is she doing here?"

Qiao Xi, still half asleep, stood behind Qi Jincheng and asked, "Aunt Liu, who's here?"

“Auntie,” Aunt Liu replied.

Qiao Xi didn't understand the title, so Qi Jincheng explained to her, "Du Xinyu's mother."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi instantly sobered up. "Is she here to see Du Xinyu?"

"Where is he?" Qi Jincheng asked again.

Aunt Liu replied, "It's in the living room downstairs."

Qiao Xi had a bad feeling. "Coming so early, something must have happened."

"Let her wait." With that, Qi Jincheng closed the door.

Qiao Xi couldn't help but meet Qi Jincheng's wolfish gaze. She unconsciously took a small step back and said weakly, "Honey, let's not keep Auntie waiting too long."

"Are you sober now?" Qi Jincheng asked meaningfully.

Qiao Xi nodded vigorously and said, "You're awake."

"Didn't you sleep well?" She noticed Qi Jincheng's haggard appearance. "I'm sorry, I..."

Qi Jincheng's lips curled into a smile, and he said with a look of doting affection, "Happy things are certainly worth celebrating."

He gently pulled Qiao Xi into his arms. "You will always be my Xi'er, no matter what happens."

Qiao Xi didn't completely lose her memory; she still remembered some of what happened last night.

She didn't know how much she had told Qi Jincheng about her relationship with Qiao Guangyuan, but she didn't want to bring it up for the time being.

"I'm going to wash up." She left Qi Jincheng's embrace and went to the bathroom.

She quickly finished washing up and went downstairs.

My aunt has come knocking on my door; there's no way I can avoid it.

"Auntie." Qiao Xi took the initiative to come up to her and greet her.

Xiang Yunu immediately stood up and looked at Qiao Xi, asking with a smile, "You're Xiao Xi, right?"

"Mm." Qiao Xi nodded.

Although she is now Qi Jincheng's wife, she and Qi Jincheng have only registered their marriage and have not held a wedding ceremony.

The relatives on both sides had never met each other.

However, Xiang Yunu knew about Qiao Xi, but had never seen her in person.

"She looks much better in person than in the photos," Xiang Yinu praised her generously.

“Auntie, you look much younger and prettier than in the photos,” Qiao Xi replied sweetly.

Xiang Yinu instantly formed a good impression of her, and she immediately asked, "Where is Jincheng?"

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Jincheng appeared, dressed neatly, and said, "Auntie."

"You're still as handsome as ever after not seeing you for a while." Xiang Yunuan always had a high opinion of Qi Jincheng, at least compared to her good-for-nothing son, Qi Jincheng was much better.

Although he was a bit older than his son, he had married a female college student.

The key is that the other person is both beautiful and outstanding.

"Is there something you need?" Qi Jincheng's attitude towards her was rather cold.

Xiang Yunu was already used to it, and she said insincerely, "I'm so sorry to bother you so early."

"I'm here to see my son," she stated her purpose directly.

Qi Jincheng and Qiao Xi both remained silent.

Seeing that they remained silent, Xiang Yunu continued, "I heard that he came to seek refuge with you."

"When?" Qiao Xi asked cautiously.

Xiang Yunu seemed to have seen through Qiao Xi's lie and asked in return, "Isn't he here?"

"Not here." Qi Jincheng denied it very readily.

Xiang Yunuan said helplessly, "I've frozen all his cards. He has no one else in Beijing to turn to. After thinking it over, he had no choice but to come to you."

“Auntie, he really isn’t here,” Qiao Xi said sincerely. “Please feel free to look around.”

Xiang Yinuan politely declined, saying, "That would be too inappropriate."

Qi Jincheng couldn't stand her pretentious manner. "Stop pretending. If you want to see, then see."

"No need." Xiang Yunuan saw how at ease they were and knew that he was definitely not here.

She immediately added confidently, "Even if he's not here right now, you definitely know where he went."

"I don't know," Qi Jincheng denied again.

Xiang Yunu knew she wouldn't get the answer she wanted from Qi Jincheng, so she could only place her hopes on Qiao Xi. "Xiao Xi, you can't lie to Auntie."

Qiao Xi frankly admitted, "Auntie, to be honest, he did come before, but Ah Jin and I knew he was running away from his arranged marriage, so we didn't dare to take him in and he left."

"Running away from marriage?" Xiang Yunu said angrily, "I just asked him to go on a blind date, and he actually called it running away from marriage."

Qiao Xi had forgotten whether Du Xinyu had mentioned running away from marriage or going on a blind date.

Oh well, it's all the same anyway, it's all about women.

Xiang Yunu sighed heavily and said sadly, "You know, he's not a young man anymore. I just wanted him to meet that girl, and I wouldn't force him if it didn't work out. But he just walked away."

“Auntie is right,” Qiao Xi agreed.

Xiang Yinu immediately perked up again, "Jincheng, could you call him for Auntie?"

"I don't have his phone number," Qi Jincheng said without changing his expression. "He was afraid you would contact him, so he changed his SIM card."
