Xu Que's voice, unlike her usual gentle tone, was filled with coldness: "Once you receive the money, you can take action. No matter what, you are not allowed to involve me."
Ma Rui nodded, "Don't worry, I know why you invited your husband and niece to dinner today. I came alone, while you came with your family. We have nothing to do with each other."
Xu Que was very satisfied with Ma Rui's answer.
What are you planning to do?
Ma Rui said, "I originally thought you would give me five million in cash so I could take Jian Yu away for you, and that way no one would know it was me. I didn't expect you to suddenly transfer ten million to me last night. Heh... You left such a big clue, are you trying to use me against the old lady and the young master? Are you trying to make me trade my life for yours?"
Xu Que: "Is there a difference? You don't have more than three months to live."
Ma Rui smiled wryly, "Indeed, there is no difference."
Xu Que smiled with satisfaction. "Very good! Take Jian Yu away as soon as possible. Remember to make her die as tragically as possible, so tragically that even the most hard-hearted person would feel sorry for her. That way, Huo Qizhen will be more heartbroken and hate the person behind the scenes even more. When the investigation leads back to the old lady, he will be even more devastated."
Ma Rui glanced at the camera and said, "Don't worry! Jian Yu will disappear from the world soon."
After the two finished their discussion, Xu Que glanced at his phone and left the room.
Ma Rui ordered a single meal for himself. After finishing his meal, he stood up, leaving a large black shadow of a hand on the screen.
That concludes the video.
Xu Niannian was covered in cold sweat, but she didn't dare to wipe it away.
Huo Qizhen looked at her and asked, "You said you had an upset stomach and needed to go to the bathroom, so why did you leave with your bag and never come back?"
Xu Niannian wiped away her cold sweat, feigning shyness, "Girls have those days every month. My personal belongings are all in my bag, so it's perfectly normal for me to take them with me to the bathroom."
Why did you leave and never return?
"I ran into my aunt. She said we had eaten, so we left together."
Without direct evidence that Xu Niannian was aware of the situation, they had no choice but to release her.
Xu Que has truly gone mad.
Now, Huo An felt somewhat fortunate. Standing by the car, he muttered to himself, "Luckily, the man went mad."
Xu Niannian was also relieved that Xu Que had gone mad.
After feeling relieved, Huo An was also somewhat annoyed, as Xu Que had actually framed the old lady.
Sitting in the car for a long time, Huo An finally spoke, "You knew about what your aunt did, right?"
Xu Niannian, “…”
“You were just afraid that if things were exposed, it would implicate you, so you made an excuse to go to the bathroom after I left. After your aunt finished talking with Ma Rui, she checked her phone and saw the message you sent, telling her that you had met a friend and were leaving first.”
Xu Niannian, “…”
Huo An, “Your aunt told me that you left before I left, and I gave her a gift because I felt guilty.”
Xu Niannian turned her head and looked out the window without saying a word.
Huo An said, "Tell me! Why did you want to harm Jian Yu? Did you know that your aunt framed the old lady?"
Xu Niannian naturally knew.
She dared not admit it, and was about to shake her head in denial when Huo An asked another question that left her speechless, "Does Yun Zhen know?"
Xu Niannian shook her head.
"to be honest!"
Xu Niannian was startled, "That's exactly what I meant..."
"That's bullshit!"
Huo An couldn't help but swear, "Do you really think I'm stupid? I turn a blind eye to many things. As long as you're not too much, I'll never hold it against you."
Perhaps it was his excessive indulgence that emboldened Xu Que and her niece.
"No, there really isn't..."
"Think carefully before you speak. I can tell whether you're lying or not. If you're lying to me, your Xu family will struggle at the bottom of society for the rest of your lives!"
Huo An certainly knew how to deal with the Xu family.
Xu Niannian was indeed frightened by this threat and dared not hesitate any longer, so she confessed everything.
"It was Yunzhen's idea."
Huo An's anger vanished instantly, leaving only sorrow.
He never doubted him.
"It really was Yunzhen's idea. He said that this way, Huo Qizhen would eventually find out about Grandma, and the two would soon fall out. As long as Grandma insisted on changing the heir, those clansmen would be no threat. But we never expected that Ma Rui was worried that finding out about Grandma through him would bring trouble to his family, so he went around hiring Li Yang. Li Yang's car accident was perfectly staged, clearing Ma Rui of any blame. The matter could have ended there, but Yunzhen had someone bring Ma Rui into everyone's sight, and as a result, they successfully found out about Grandma."
"......"
"Actually, Yunzhen was a bit too anxious. Jian Yu only fell into the abyss and went missing; she wasn't tortured or killed. Qizhen wasn't as traumatized, and when she found out about her grandmother, she didn't lose control of her emotions."
Not only did it not get out of control, but the investigation also uncovered that so much of Madam Huo's money had been transferred away.
In order to prevent Madam Huo from calling the police, Xu Que deliberately provoked her with yellow pills, causing her to die on the spot.
Huo An didn't know what to say. He covered his face and couldn't help but cry. He felt sorry for his mother.
Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen, each with an earphone, were eavesdropping on Huo An and Xu Niannian's conversation.
When Huo An's crying reached them, both of them felt a surge of disgust.
To put on airs.
"Xu Niannian?"
Huo Tingzhen clenched her fists tightly, her eyes red with anger.
Bao Yanbai had no idea what she had heard that made her so angry, so he quickly straightened her fist.
The sight of four bloody fingernail marks broke his heart.
"What's wrong? Tell me about it."
Huo Tingzhen snuggled into his arms. How could Xu Niannian have the nerve to call her grandma? How could she treat her grandma like this?
And surprisingly, her father didn't scold her.
Huo Tingzhen cried for a while, then picked up her phone and stared straight out the door.
They were preparing to settle scores with Huo An.
Bao Yanbai was extremely worried, "What exactly did Xu Niannian do?"
Huo Tingzhen played the recording for him.
After listening for only a few sentences, An Ke covered her ears. The more she knew, the more worried she might be silenced.
He stood behind Jian Yu with a fawning expression and poured her water.
"You need to drink more water," she said softly.
Jian Yu took the cup, but didn't drink from it. Instead, she placed it together with the water she had just half-drunk.
The room was very warm, and Jian Yu was dressed rather lightly. An was afraid that she would catch a fever again, so she draped her coat over her shoulders.
I casually touched Jian Yuyu's head with the back of my hand to check her temperature.
When Huo Qizhen entered, he saw An Ke withdrawing her hand and Jian Yu yawning wearily.
Dry, chapped lips, swollen eyelids, and flushed cheeks are symptoms of Jianyu's fever.
yes!
In such cold weather, falling into such deep water, it's no wonder you get sick.
Jian Yu pulled her coat tighter, and when she looked up and saw Huo Qizhen, she was slightly stunned. When she stood up, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Huo Qizhen was distracted by that smile, and before he could react, he had already stretched out his arms and pulled the person tightly into his embrace.
