Chapter 380 That may not be the case!
Someone who was innocently implicated just because of a surname thinks that if there really was a Dou E who was wrongly killed in this world, her surname would definitely be Xi, not Dou.
[The plot mentioned that this Second Miss Xi was born into a wealthy family, with countless relatives, and it was truly a large family that had been rich for several generations or even hundreds of years. Hey, why does this description sound a bit like Mr. Xi, and this Second Miss Xi also happens to have the surname Xi, so could she... be a relative of Mr. Xi's family? ]
As soon as Du Anrao said this, everyone looked at Xi Jingyue with even more hostility.
Xi Jingyue: “…” It was quite sudden!
[Unfortunately, the author may want to maintain the mystery of this Second Miss Xi, or may want to prevent her from appearing frequently and stealing the limelight from Li Qianxi, so she never gave her full name from beginning to end, and only mentioned her a few times through the mouths of the male and female protagonists and the Li family brothers and sisters.]
However, because the other party's family background is too prominent and her network strength is too outstanding, her presence in this part of the plot is particularly obvious, making it difficult for Duanrao to ignore her.
[Now that the misunderstanding between the Li family and their savior has been resolved, and their connection with Li Qianxi has been completely severed, the Li family should no longer have conflicts with the Li family because of Li Qianxi, and this Second Miss Xi will not attack the Li family again, right? ]
Hearing Duanrao say this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Xi Jingyue, who had been the focus of everyone's attention not long ago, had a slightly cold look in his eyes and muttered secretly in his heart: That may not be the case!
After seeing off the Li family, Du Anrao and others went upstairs to continue packing up, while Xi Jingyue and the Li family found another room and gathered together to talk about the second Miss Xi that Du Anrao had just mentioned.
"Did you hear what An An just said about Miss Xi Er?"
Xi Jingyue was not surprised by Li's father's question. Since Li Zhaoyang knew that he could also hear Du Anrao's thoughts, he would definitely tell the elders in the family about this out of caution and for future considerations. It was not surprising that the Li family knew about this, but he didn't know whether those people in the Du family also knew about it.
However, judging from their reactions to me just now, they probably don't know yet.
"Yes."
Father Li's face darkened slightly, and his eyes narrowed dangerously: "What do you think of that Second Miss Xi?"
"An An's intuition is always very accurate. Many things that may seem out of the ordinary to outsiders may eventually become reality."
"you mean……"
"This Second Miss Xi may really be a relative of my Xi family."
Everyone in the Li family: "..."
Xi Jingyue was not joking when he said this. His family had been a single-line family for three generations. From his grandfather to his generation, there was only one child, and both were boys.
It was different with his second and third grandfathers. They changed wives frequently and they were all younger and younger, and they also had many children.
His second grandfather alone had three sons and six daughters. If he had not been too indulgent when he was young, and if he had not suffered from problems as he got older and his physical fitness could not meet his inner needs, he would have probably had more children.
His uncles and aunts also inherited his second grandfather's hobby. Although they did not change wives as easily as they changed clothes like his second grandfather, the number of their illegitimate sons and daughters far exceeded that of his second grandfather.
Xi Jingyue is an only child, and from his family lineage, there can naturally be no so-called second lady.
But if we count from the family branches, apart from his eldest cousin who was born first in his second grandfather's family, the second cousin born in his second uncle's family was Xi Yanjia, who was also one of the main forces who questioned and pressured him under the banner of family and company because of the two signs she bought from Duanrao on New Year's Eve.
"My second cousin seems to be a peaceful person, but he is actually quite scheming. On the surface, he is the most out of touch among all the cousins and rarely interferes with the company's affairs. But in fact, behind the actions of those radical elements in the family who have greed and calculations written all over their faces, there are traces of him secretly planning and fanning the flames. As his daughter, my second cousin has become increasingly hostile to me in the past two years."
"Are you suspecting that she attacked our family because of you?" Li's mother is Xi Jingyue's aunt. After all, she is a lady from a large family and is well aware of the intrigues among relatives. After just a few words of Xi Jingyue's explanation, she already had a solid guess in her mind.
"Very likely."
Li's mother and his mother are sisters from the same mother, and the relationship between the two families can be said to be quite close. Xi Jingyue did not think that Xi Yanjia would not know about this. Since she knew about this but still chose to take action against the Li family, she must have some ulterior motive.
He didn't believe that his second cousin, with his stubborn character, could really raise a man who would go through fire and water for his friends.
The Li family members obviously thought the same as him. It is not uncommon to talk about favors in the business world, but it would be too fake to only talk about favors.
Li Yuesheng frowned slightly: "If this is the case, whether Li Qianxi is there or not, I'm afraid this Second Miss Xi will not let our family go."
"What are you afraid of?" Li Zhaoyang was very disapproving.
"The Xi family is indeed a big family. It's true that our family can't compare to them. But she is just a branch family after all. The second Miss Xi can only bluff those who don't know the inside story. The resources and connections at hand can't be compared with Jing Yue. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until our family was about to collapse before running out to add insult to injury, and she was so sneaky that she didn't even dare to show her face."
"What Zhaoyang said makes sense. According to An'an, the reason why our Li family ended up like that was the result of a multi-faceted game. Now you and your brother are fine, your sister-in-law and the child have been brought back, and the most deadly ungrateful person has been driven out of the house, and has no chance to continue to harm our family. If she really dares to take action against our family, we may not really be at a disadvantage."
After all, what their family values most is family and kinship. Li Qianxi has lived with them for more than ten years, knows their personalities, and knows how to grasp their weaknesses, which is why they were caught off guard and defeated one by one, ultimately ending up with a complete loss and a miserable end.
Their family is fine now. If Xi Yanjia really dares to lay his hands on their home, he must be prepared to be seriously injured.
The words of the father and son made Li Yuesheng and her son feel a little relieved, but Xi Jingyue's expression did not ease up because of their words, and he was still very solemn.
Mother Li noticed his abnormality and asked with some concern: "Jingyue, what's wrong? You look so bad."
"I was just wondering, where was I when you guys got into trouble?"
Everyone in the Li family was stunned. Before they could think about it, they heard Xi Jingyue say in a hoarse voice: "If something happens to you, there is no reason for me to stand by and watch, unless... something happens to me and I can't protect myself, or... I'm no longer here."
