The family got into the car and left as quietly as rats crossing the street.
On the other side, Ying Xixi was a little tired after browsing her phone all night. After washing up, she planned to go to bed.
Before going to bed, she heard a knock on the door.
She remembered seeing the text message from Ying's father in the evening, saying that he would come to her rental house to find her.
Could it be that Ying's family has arrived?
You came to settle the score with her at past midnight?
Ying Xixi tiptoed to the door, intending to look through the peephole to see who was outside.
It turned out that the cat's eyes were black.
Only then did she remember that she had pasted the word "Fu" on the door during the Chinese New Year, which just happened to cover the peephole.
Moreover, she lives in an old residential complex and there is no video doorbell installed, nor does she have a surveillance camera installed at the door.
So if she wanted to know who was knocking on the door, she could only find out by opening it.
But it's the middle of the night now, and if the person outside is someone you don't know, it would be really dangerous to suddenly open the door like this.
Ying Xixi thought about it, went back to the room and called Ying's father.
The call was connected quickly.
Ying's father's cursing voice rang out from the other side.
"You know how to answer the phone now? You unfilial daughter! What do you really think about your marriage with the Zhang family? You..."
"Dad, didn't you come to my rental house?"
Ying Xixi interrupted Ying's father.
Ying's father on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. "I'm at home, not at your door. What's going on? Someone knocked on your door in the middle of the night?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll hang up now."
Ying Xixi just needed to know that the people at the door were not Ying's family.
After Ying Xixi hung up the phone, she heard a few more knocks on the door, and even heard the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole trying to open the door.
Ying Xixi's eyelids were twitching.
Although she locked the door and put up the security bolt, who knows if the person outside would find other ways to open her door!
No, no, she had to think of a way.
How about just calling the police?
If you encounter danger, you can always go to the police!
Just as Ying Xixi was about to dial 110, a video call invitation from her agent Lan Yayue popped up.
She clicked the answer button.
"Xiaoying, you haven't rested yet? I suddenly remembered something I wanted to tell you. I wanted to send you a message, but I clicked on a video call instead."
Lan Yayue showed an apology under her black-framed glasses.
"Sister Lan, I haven't rested yet, but Sister Lan, someone is knocking on my door now, and the person outside is still using the key to open my lock."
Ying Xixi said in a low voice.
When Lan Yayue heard this, her seriousness and worry could be seen through the screen.
"Don't be afraid, I'll bring people to your house right now! Don't call the police yet!"
After saying that, Lan Yayue hung up the video call.
Ying Xixi: “???”
Okay, she'll wait.
Ying Xixi locked the door of the room and closed the window tightly.
Listen quietly to the noise outside.
After about ten minutes, the people outside tried every possible way to pry the door open but failed, so they just kicked it in.
The sound of kicking the door was very obvious in the quiet middle of the night.
Ying Xixi was speechless. Could the person outside be a drunk? How could he be so stupid?
It's so noisy that it won't be long before her neighbors across the street and upstairs and downstairs come out to check it out.
[Host, you are overthinking it. There is no one living next door to you. A mother and daughter live upstairs, and an elderly widower lives downstairs.
They are all vulnerable groups, and even if they hear noise, they dare not open the door in the middle of the night to check the situation.
Host, you should wait for your agent to bring someone here.]
The system's baby voice suddenly sounded, almost scaring Ying Xixi.
“…That makes sense.”
Ying Xixi was chatting with the system idly, and soon she heard wailing sounds coming from outside, and the faint sound of Lan Yayue scolding!
Ying Xixi's eyes lit up and she knew that help was coming.
He quickly ran to the door and shouted.
"Sister Lan! Are you outside?"
"Yes! Xiaoying, you can open the door now."
Lan Yayue's voice sounded outside the door.
When Ying Xixi opened the door, she saw Lan Yayue standing at the door, wearing a professional suit and her signature black-framed glasses.
There were five burly men in black suits standing nearby.
There were three yellow-haired guys sitting on the ground with their hands and feet tied up with ropes.
Also standing at the stairs were Ying's father, Ying's mother, and her stepbrother Ying Xingxing.
Ying Xixi: “???”
Why are the Ying family here too?
Is it because of that phone call?
Ying Xixi's heart trembled.
"Xiao Ying, it's okay. Leave these three to me. I'll have someone find out what they're going to do."
Lan Yayue patted Ying Xixi's shoulder to comfort her.
Ying Xixi nodded. "Thank you, Sister Lan. Also, Mom and Dad, Xingxing, why are you here?"
When Lan Yayue heard Ying Xixi's name, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
"So these are your parents and brother, Xiaoying?
When I brought people here just now, your father and brother were fighting with these three men.
Thanks to them holding the people back, we were able to catch them when we arrived and prevent them from escaping."
Ying Xixi was also surprised by Lan Yayue’s words.
Is this really like this?
She thought that Ying's father and mother were probably hoping that something would happen to her.
After all, she was just an unfavored daughter at home who would get married sooner or later.
"So that's how it is. Sister Lan, Mom and Dad, Xingxing, and these others, come in and take a rest."
Ying Xixi pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile.
"Alright, bring these three guys in as well. We can ask them what they're up to right here. Then we can call the police and have them jailed!"
Lan Yayue said something and pushed Ying Xixi into the house first.
The three members of the Ying family exchanged glances and went in.
More than ten people suddenly came into Ying Xixi's one-bedroom apartment, making it suddenly seem crowded.
Ying Xixi poured a few glasses of water and sat on a small stool.
"Mom, Dad, Xingxing, why are you here?"
Father Ying blew his beard and glared, "I received your call in the middle of the night, how could I not come over!"
Ying's mother nudged Ying's father with her elbow, "Xixi, you know, your father is just stubborn. He was worried that there were bad guys at your door, so he hurriedly brought us over to check what was going on.
Since we are here, let’s talk about your marriage with Zhang Yangping.”
When Ying's mother said this, she caught sight of Lan Yayue out of the corner of her eye, and then she realized that there was an outsider sitting here, so it seemed inappropriate to talk about their family matters.
Ying Xixi understood what her mother meant and said, "Mom, this is my agent, Sister Lan. She knows everything about me. If you have anything to say, you can tell her directly in front of her."
Lan Yayue nodded, "Uncle and aunt, little brother, I am Xiaoying's agent, Lan Yayue."
"Hello, let's be frank, Xixi. Your father and I have considered it for a day and agree that you can break off the engagement. We will also return the 500,000 yuan betrothal gift to him."
