Chapter 177 The So-called Clean Break

I didn’t reply to Shen Yixiao’s message.

But he seemed to have a pair of eyes monitoring me and sent me another message: Have you seen my message? Don't pretend you can't see. Don't you want to see your brother?

He then sent a short video he had shot.

After the video was opened, Li Qingming's face was revealed. He was playing with building blocks, but he was not very interested. He just looked around vigilantly. Facing the camera, there was no smile at all. Instead, he stared at Shen Yixiao with a tightly furrowed brow.

"Mingming, talk to your sister, do you miss her?" Shen Yixiao's voice came, extremely familiar.

"I want to go home!" Li Qingming only said one sentence.

Although he was young, he was not stupid. He knew very well that his situation was not good and was on guard against Shen Yixiao.

The video is very short and ends here. I don’t know how Shen Yixiao answered Li Qingming next, nor do I know if Li Qingming was scared.

I don't have too many feelings for Li Qingming. After all, we don't get along very often. But deep down, I still can't help but feel worried and nervous, afraid that something might happen to him.

Just when I was anxious and angry, my mother knocked on my door.

After she came in, she brought me a bowl of five-red soup. "Xiaoyue, drink some of the five-red soup. You look so pale. Are you anemic? You should take good care of yourself at home."

I took the five-red soup with a forced smile on my face, "Thank you, Mom."

If it weren't for me, Li Qingming wouldn't have encountered such a thing. I felt guilty that my mother didn't blame me, but she was still so nice to me. I felt very tormented inside.

"Xiaoyue, don't leave again this time, okay?" My mother held my hand and said distressedly, "You have lost a lot of weight. You must not be used to living abroad. If you stay at home, I can take care of you and nourish your body."

I don’t know how to answer. If my father still hates me, I will still want to leave when Li Qingming comes back.

I don't want my dad to be in a bad mood every day because of me.

Facing my mother's eager gaze, I had to lie to her, "Okay, I won't leave this time."

This answer made my mother very happy. She patted the back of my hand and said, "Okay, it's good that you don't leave. When your brother comes back, our family can have a good New Year."

Because I was in a bad mood and had a lot of things to do, I forgot about the Chinese New Year. It has been a long time since I celebrated the Spring Festival with my family.

I nodded.

My mother and I chatted in the room for a while, and suddenly I received a message from Xu Zhengnan: I'm leaving first, don't act rashly about something that's obvious.

Me: I understand.

Xu Zhengnan is not an idle person. He has a lot of things to do and has spent a lot of time on my family affairs. My parents have always felt guilty about this, but he is the most reliable person at the moment.

After my mother and I went downstairs, my father was washing teacups. When he saw me, he snorted coldly and seemed not to want to even look at me.

"Don't mind your father's attitude. He actually hopes that you will come back." My mother whispered to me.

"Okay, I know." I replied in the same low voice.

Because of Li Qingming's incident, the atmosphere at home was actually quite depressing. My mother was a little happier because of my return, but after being happy, she was still worried and nervous. She and my father had been hesitating whether to call the police, but they were worried that if they did, it would anger Shen Yixiao, causing him to be bad to Li Qingming.

I dared not even breathe in front of my dad, for fear of making his bad mood worse.

I didn't even dare tell them that Shen Yixiao had contacted me and sent me a video of Li Qingming.

Before going to bed at night, I opened my WeChat account again, and a message from Liang Feng popped up: Are you back? I’m sorry, my phone was discovered by Shen Yixiao and your situation was exposed.

I don't know whether what he said is true or false, and I don't want to reply to him.

Liang Feng: Shen Yixiao deliberately brought me back and asked me to follow Meng Zicheng and Su Ying to find you abroad. After I returned to China, he kept monitoring me. If I knew this was the case, I would never leave your contact information.

I looked at the long string of messages he sent and felt depressed.

According to him, everything was planned by Shen Yixiao. Because he had secretly helped me before, he would most likely help me again, so he deliberately asked him to go abroad to find me.

If he finds me, I will probably leave my contact information with him again in order to find out where Shen Yixiao is.

This way Shen Yixiao would have a way to find me through Liang Feng.

Given his personality and scheming, it is possible that he would do so.

I took a deep breath and my chest felt tight.

Since Shen Yixiao is keeping an eye on Liang Feng, I'd better not have any contact with him. I planned to delete Liang Feng, but hesitated at the last moment.

Li Qingming is still in Shen Yixiao's hands, so maybe Liang Feng can be of use.

I didn’t delete him in the end. After throwing my phone aside, I took a hot bath to relax my body a little.

By the time I came out of the bathroom, I had received several application messages on my phone.

It’s Lu Xiaoyun.

Lu Xiaoyun: Madam, you are back to your country, right? Let’s talk, shall we?

Lu Xiaoyun: Please approve my friend request first!

Lu Xiaoyun: As long as you forgive Shen Yixiao, you can punish me at will. This is the retribution I deserve.

I wiped my hair and looked at a series of additional messages with a frown. Lu Xiaoyun kept adding me, which could only mean one thing: Shen Yixiao was sure that I was back and that I had logged into this account again.

However, he can't locate me now. Before returning to China, Xu Zhengnan had already considered this problem, so he installed anti-location software in advance.

An operation that I didn't expect occurred.

The next second, Meng Zicheng sent a request for a voice call.

I was distracted and accidentally clicked the answer button.

Lu Xiaoyun's voice came from the other end immediately, "Madam, it's me, Lu Xiaoyun, don't hang up, I'm here to apologize to you!"

I turned on the speakerphone. Since I had already answered the call, I might as well listen to what confusing things she had to say.

Lu Xiaoyun sobbed and said, "It was me who caused this mess between you and Mr. Shen. He regrets it now and only wants to get you back. Please give him another chance!"

"Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao just made a mistake that every man in the world would make. There's no need for you to hold on to it!" Meng Zicheng's voice also rang out.

What a mistake that all men in the world would make. Meng Zicheng is a playboy. Shen Yixiao just cheated on his wife. He thinks it's normal. I'm making a fuss out of nothing.

Lu Xiaoyun is with Meng Zicheng right now?

It's really interesting. Shen Yixiao said that he had cut off all ties with Lu Xiaoyun and he would no longer have any contact with this woman. In the end, this woman stayed with his best brother.

Is this what is called a clean break?
