Chu Ruolin was about to knock on the door again when Chu Wei grabbed her arm.
"What's wrong, Dad? We haven't even talked about it yet, why did she close the door?"
Chu Wei seriously suspected that his son had suddenly lost his mind. His expression was extremely complicated, and he could only lower his voice and growl in disappointment.
"What are you still talking about? Haven't you realized that if we hadn't come here today, Qin Yiheng wouldn't even know Miss Luo's identity!"
Chu Ruolin suddenly realized why her father hadn't spoken since a while ago.
Now, thinking carefully about what just happened...
Chu Ruolin's face immediately turned pale: "What should we do, Dad? We...we ruined her plan, didn't we? What should we do now...?"
His anxious and incoherent speech only made Chu Wei more and more annoyed.
Chu Wei was completely confused for the time being; in short, leaving this place was the most important thing.
"Now that Qin Yiheng has discovered that we've come to see Luo Jinxiu, the Chu family will definitely take action. In the next couple of days, no matter what, behave yourself and don't go looking for trouble. Let me think about it."
Chu Ruolin didn't have as many ideas as Chu Wei to begin with, so at this point she could only listen.
"Things shouldn't be too bad. Didn't this Qiwei hire someone to deal with Qin Yiheng? What if it has some effect?" Chu Ruolin suddenly thought of this.
Chu Wei, however, did not hold out much hope.
"Dad, if Qiwei can really find a way to deal with Qin Yiheng, and we get involved, we can salvage our image in front of Miss Luo, right? Maybe she won't have such a bad impression of us..."
Chu Ruolin continued rambling on, hoping to get a positive response from Chu Wei.
Unfortunately, Chu Wei poured cold water on her one after another: "Don't forget, what was that Qi Wei thinking when he let Miss Luo move into his house?"
A man and a woman alone together, who wouldn't think that way?
If they hadn't been hoping that Qiwei would be the first to act, allowing them to reap the benefits, they would have already taken action against him.
Chu Ruolin was filled with frustration, and now there was nowhere to relieve it.
Luo Jinxiu was also feeling troubled.
For her, it was truly one crisis after another.
Qi Wei, who was on Chu Ruolin's mind but Chu Wei didn't care, suddenly called Luo Jinxiu at this moment, saying, "Oh no! Young Master Han told me that the people he found actually treat Qin Yiheng like an older brother. How come he's doing so well?"
Luo Jinxiu remained silent.
She doesn't know whether Qin Yiheng is doing well or not; she only knows that the methods she originally thought of to deal with Qin Yiheng are no longer applicable.
Qiwei thought she had a bad signal and hadn't heard him, so he kept shouting, "Did you hear what I said? Qin Yiheng is unharmed, but Han Mingrui was warned by them. Now Han Mingrui says he's going to find someone even more powerful..."
"Enough!" Luo Jinxiu snapped.
Qiwei was stunned by her shout and immediately fell silent.
Luo Jinxiu took a deep breath. Right now, Qi Wei was the only one who didn't know her true identity, so she had to keep it a secret. She would need him for other things.
"Didn't I tell you? I invited Jiang Yan and Qin Yiheng over today. I saw that Qin Yiheng is perfectly fine, and Yan Yan is still the same towards him. I just... sigh, I really don't know what to do..."
After explaining for a while, Luo Jinxiu seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, you just said there was another way?"
Qiwei didn't notice anything amiss and continued talking once the topic was steered back on track...
After hanging up the phone, Luo Jinxiu fell into deep thought.
She didn't really care who killed Luo Yao, and she didn't come to Yuzhou to avenge Luo Yao. But looking at Jiang Yan and Qin Yiheng, she seemed to have misunderstood Qin Yiheng a lot.
No, perhaps this is all an illusion created by Qin Yiheng.
When he was with the Luo family, everyone could see that Qin Yiheng was utterly wicked and capable of any evil deed. He was capable of anything, no matter how treacherous or cunning.
Jiang Yan doesn't seem like the type to be blinded by love, yet she was still deceived so badly by him.
Luo Jinxiu suddenly realized that she was wronging Qin Yiheng by thinking that she was actually being bewitched by him.
She called the housekeeper again.
Over there, because Luo Jinxiu had told them not to act on their own and disrupt the plan, the butler had been waiting at the villa, occasionally receiving the Chu family father and son who came to visit.
The housekeeper was very happy that Luo Jinxiu had taken the initiative to call.
"Send someone to keep an eye on that father and son from the Chu family. If they dare to mess things up for me again, I'll punish you too!" Luo Jinxiu's voice sounded extremely angry.
The butler readily agreed and ordered someone to investigate what the two men had done.
"Is there anything else you need, Miss? You and Qin Yiheng..."
"Something has gone wrong, and I need to make some adjustments. You'll be on my orders at any time." With that, Luo Jinxiu hung up the phone.
Before long, the butler learned that the Chu father and son had exposed Luo Jinxiu's true identity.
"snort!"
The butler slammed his hand on the table and ordered someone to fetch the Chu father and son.
When Chu Wei received the news, because the person's words were unclear, he wondered if the Luo family had changed their opinion of them. So he dressed up and went over with Chu Ruolin.
"Boss Chu, you keep saying that you're not on the same side as the Chu family and that you're willing to join forces with our Luo family, but I don't see in any way what you've done that would benefit our Luo family!"
As a result, a single sentence from Butler Luo dashed all the hopes of the Chu family father and son to the brink of despair.
How did the news spread so quickly?
It must have been Luo Jinxiu who told Butler Luo that among the Luo family members who came to Yuzhou this time, Butler Luo was the most senior, even though his status wasn't that high.
"Butler Luo, this is a misunderstanding..." Chu Wei hurriedly tried to explain.
The butler waved his hand, interrupting him: "Now that things have come to this, what's the use of explaining the reasons? We should think about how to make amends."
Chu Wei and Chu Ruolin exchanged a glance.
The message was clear enough: if they had ruined Luo Jinxiu's plans, they should find a way to help her again in order to salvage the situation.
If you want to help Luo Jinxiu, you have to deal with Qin Yiheng.
Having figured this out, Chu Wei's worried expression eased considerably: "The steward is right, I understand."
After leaving the Luo family villa, Chu Wei immediately instructed Chu Ruolin: "We can't just rely on that good-for-nothing Qi Wei anymore. Keep an eye on him. If things don't work out... go find your Aunt Mei."
"Huh?" Chu Ruolin was taken aback and asked cautiously, "Isn't it a bit of an overkill to ask my Aunt Mei for help?"
Aunt Mei's original name was Peng Meijie. She was a relative of Chu Ruolin's mother and is currently the head of the Peng family, one of the five major families in Yuzhou.
The only female head of the family.
