"That guy travels the world having a blast, while I'm working myself to the bone every day off dealing with company stuff. Why should I?" Qiao Qiao scoffed. "If I cut off his source of income, he'll have to find his own way to make money, and then..."
"Why don't you give it a try?" Le Yao seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.
“Okay, I’ll give it a try.” Qiao Qiao nodded, then took out her phone. “I’ll stop his bank card first, and as for the stock dividends, I’ll stop them for him too…”
Le Yao couldn't help but sigh. These were all her own sisters. Otherwise, who could do something so terrifying?
"Alright, haha." Qiao Qiao laughed twice, then suddenly sighed, "Honey, I can't spend New Year's Day with you. I have to go back. An important project at the company is about to start, and I have to go back to oversee it. My heartless parents are planning to go swimming in the sea in the south..."
"Alright, go ahead." Le Yao patted Qiao Qiao's little face. "Those who are capable are always given more work. I'll miss you."
"Mmm, mwah." Qiao Qiao pouted and made a kissing gesture towards Le Yao. "Then I'm leaving." Then she turned and left.
Le Yao glanced at the now empty dormitory room, sighed softly, packed her things, called Shen Yi, and went out. She should go home too, but she still hadn't heard from her husband and didn't know how he was doing.
When they arrived at the school gate, Shen Yi's car was already there. He got in and said, "Brother Shen, you have a day off tomorrow too."
"No need," Shen Yi shook his head. "Give Tao Qing and the others a holiday."
Le Yao was taken aback. Although she hadn't asked about Shen Yi's family situation, she knew that his hometown was in Heilongjiang Province and that he had younger siblings. However, hearing him say this, she didn't press him for details and simply nodded, "Okay, then thank you for your trouble, Brother Shen."
A hint of sadness flashed in his resolute eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he smiled: "Giving you work is very easy."
Le Yao didn't say anything more, but turned her head to the side, then suddenly frowned: "Stop the car, back up."
Shen Yi quickly stopped and moved back about three or four meters. From this position, he could see what was happening in the alley next door.
Le Yao pushed open the car door and got out.
Shen Yi hurriedly followed, saying, "Miss, you stay in the car, I'll go."
Le Yao nodded.
Shen Yi quickly ran over and subdued the four thugs in a few moves. Then he helped up the woman who had been struggling desperately while her mouth was covered.
But the woman was probably too frightened; she yelled, "Don't touch me!" and then tried to punch and kick him.
"Sister-in-law?" Le Yao exclaimed in surprise, then ran over. "How are you?"
"Alan?" Upon hearing Le Yao's voice, Nie Baozhen immediately calmed down and hugged her tightly. "It really is you, that's wonderful..." Her voice and body trembled.
"Okay, it's alright now." Le Yao patted her back. "What are you doing here?"
“It was my colleague Xie Baoling. She asked me to go shopping together to buy some clothes for the New Year, but she had taken leave beforehand and asked me to come find her after get off work. So I came, but as soon as I got to this alley, I ran into four thugs…” Half of Nie Baozhen’s face was swollen, obviously from being slapped. She was speaking incoherently, but she kept trying not to cry.
