While secretly resenting the old man's favoritism, Chi Yuanyuan also felt a strong sense of crisis, and her hand gripping the wine glass so tightly that it turned slightly white.

Xie Zhen noticed this, a smile playing on her lips, and continued, "So, instead of leaving things for Chi Sangsang, we should get rid of as much as we can while the old man is still here."

"If you sell me the calligraphy, it will become yours the moment you sell it, won't it?"

Chi Yuanyuan still hesitated: "But my grandfather... if he finds out, I won't be able to explain it."

Xie Zhen just looked at her quietly without saying a word, her beautiful eyes only flickering slightly.

Chi Yuanyuan understood.

Explaining something is difficult, but it's also simple.

If it's lost, or if you need it for business, just make up any excuse.

Anyway, more than 70% of the servants in the Chi family's old house were hired by her parents. As long as she made arrangements with her parents in advance, it wouldn't be too difficult to get away with it.

but……

Chi Yuanyuan's eyes flickered, and suddenly she thought of a better idea.

She looked up at Xie Zhen and asked, "What exactly happened on your birthday last time? I heard it ended up in the police station?"

Xie Zhen's calm smile crumbled. She lowered her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "I was just unlucky and ran into a group of human traffickers. But the police arrived quickly and took the person away. I just went to give a statement."

Chi Yuanyuan fell silent.

Xie Zhen waited for a while but didn't get a response from Chi Yuanyuan. Finally, her anxiety overcame her embarrassment, and she looked up, only to meet Chi Yuanyuan's ambiguous smile.

Xie Zhen's heart tightened: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chi Yuanyuan then spoke frankly: "Zhenzhen, we've known each other for over ten years. Just because you don't say something doesn't mean I don't know it."

She looked directly into Xie Zhen's eyes and smiled, "You like Third Master Fu, right?"

It is a question, but the tone is affirmative.

It was clear that he wasn't asking Xie Zhen, but rather confirming with her.

Xie Zhen felt as if she had been stripped naked from the inside out, extremely embarrassed, but she still maintained a calm demeanor.

She turned her gaze back and said calmly, "Does this have anything to do with this matter?"

“Yes.” Chi Yuanyuan nodded and said seriously, “Xie Zhen, the reason I’m telling you this today is because we have a common enemy, Qin Sheng. I have a way to deal with Qin Sheng, but if you’re still not willing to tell me the truth, there’s no need for me to discuss this with you anymore.”

"What exactly happened last time?"

Xie Zhen stared at her intently for a long time. Then, as if she had suddenly made up her mind, she bit her lip and slowly told her the thing that she found so difficult to say that she didn't want to tell anyone.

Of course, this wasn't the whole story; it omitted the part about Fu Jingheng instructing Fu Jingyuan to withdraw his investment from the Xie family.

The Fu family didn't announce this on their own initiative, which clearly shows they still value the relationship between the two families, so she's even less likely to say anything.

The Xie family's situation has been bad enough recently; if this matter gets out, it will only make things worse.

Chi Yuanyuan had considered many possibilities, but she still didn't expect Qin Sheng to completely disregard the friendship between cousins ​​and send Xie Zhen directly to the police station. Her eyes widened in surprise.

Coming to her senses, she was furious: "Isn't it just a random excuse to get away? She's not even hurt, yet she's still so relentless. No wonder she can be friends with that wildcat, Chi Sangsang. She offends everyone she goes around, and her relentless nature is exactly like Chi Sangsang's!"

Xie Zhen paused for a moment: "She and Chi Sangsang are friends?"

Chi Yuanyuan nodded and briefly recounted her previous conflict with Qin Sheng in the Dark Division, as well as the events that had happened to the Chi family a few days prior.

Finally, she said, "I heard that the Fu family is going to hold a banquet on New Year's Day. She is a high school student who has abandoned her studies and come to Tiandu at this time. It is obvious that she is here for the Fu family's banquet. I'm afraid she is going to make a big move."

He glanced at Xie Zhen and said with a half-smile, "Don't give me that cousin thing. Let's not even talk about how the Fu family has never mentioned that Old Master Fu has a daughter on the side. Even if it were true, the way Third Master Fu treats Qin Sheng, is that how he would treat a cousin?"

Xie Zhen pursed her lips and indeed didn't say anything more.

However, he quickly realized: "Are you worried that Chi Sangsang will use Qin Sheng to climb the social ladder and get close to the Fu family?"

It's not that I'm worried, it's that it's already happened.

Chi Yuanyuan clearly sensed that even though Qin Sheng had swindled her out of a large sum of money last time, Ye Yuzhen was still angry and scolded her, but in the past few days, her attitude towards Chi Sangsang had obviously softened.

They also subtly inquired about the Fu family's dinner party several times.

The Chi family had no connection with the Fu family, so they did not receive an invitation from the Fu family. Therefore, even her father was tempted after hearing about it.

I heard that today the old man invited Qin Sheng to his house again through Chi Sangsang and Hua Zhen. The purpose was ostensibly to see a doctor, but in reality, he wanted to find out the truth.

If it doesn't work out, so be it. But if they actually manage to get into the Fu family through Chi Sangsang...

Chi Yuanyuan shuddered, not daring to think any further.

Chi Yuanyuan was perfectly aware that the reason her parents favored her far more than Chi Sangsang was partly due to the bond they had formed since childhood, but also because she was outstanding enough to bring far more benefits to the family than Chi Sangsang.

Without that last point, even she couldn't guarantee what the future would hold.

A sharp glint flashed in Chi Yuanyuan's eyes as she said, "I cannot give you that calligraphy by Wang Xizhi."

Xie Zhen paused, but connecting this to Chi Yuanyuan's earlier words, she realized something within seconds: "You mean..."

Chi Yuanyuan smiled.

The two exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

Although there was no sound after that, just from their previous conversation, it was clear that the two of them had no good intentions.

They want to get back at Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng exchanged a glance, and the next moment, each of them grabbed Xie Fang on one side and left.

Xie Fang wanted to say something, but he didn't know what Qin Sheng had done to him. He only felt two taps on his body, and then he couldn't speak.

Qin Sheng only released her pressure points when they reached a secluded spot.

“If you ruin my money-making, I’ll break your legs,” Qin Sheng said.

The voice was calm, but Xie Fang sensed a dangerous undertone.

Xie Fang: "..."

This was the first time he had ever met someone who knowingly confronted someone trying to frame him. Sure enough, the way big shots think is different from ordinary people.

but……

“Zhenzhen, she…”

Qin Sheng's expression turned indifferent: "Can you control her?"

Xie Fang's face stiffened.

It's really beyond our control.

It hasn't even been a month since the last incident. In the past month, he and his mother have talked to her countless times, and she has always agreed, but then she turns around and starts causing trouble for him again.

Xie Fangzhen felt that his sister was possessed.
