Chapter 25



Chapter 25

Xu Yinyin and Xu Yao exchanged glances and felt slightly relieved. All they had to do next was wait for the two parties to come back.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the three of them seemed to be drinking tea leisurely, but in fact they were a little absent-minded.

Fortunately, the father and daughter returned home earlier than expected, and they came back together without any hesitation.

[Hey, they came back together. Are they not going to avoid suspicion? Or have they already made up their minds to deceive Mom together? They often meet with their old lover without her knowing, and then slowly let the wolf into the house and drive Mom out of the house? ]

The system angrily spat: [Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that the rich are so heartless. If we hadn't met today, wouldn't your rich mother have become a cuckold? You bastard, TUI! ]

Xu Yanwen, who was shot innocently: "..." QAQ.

Xu Yao quietly pulled at the hem of her father's clothes with a soothing look.

Xu Yanwen took a deep breath, suppressing his grievance. When he looked up again, he met Jiang Xin's cold gaze. Even though the air conditioner was on at home, he still felt a chill down his spine.

He tried to force a smile, "Honey, we're back."

In order to avoid exposing the secret that she could hear her daughter's thoughts, Jiang Xin suppressed her anger and smiled as she walked over to her daughter. "What a coincidence today, we actually came back together."

Her scrutinizing gaze swept over the father and daughter at the same time. They smiled without saying a word, tacitly avoided her gaze, changed their shoes and went into the house.

Humph, they really are full of cat peepers!

Jiang Xin complained bitterly in her heart and reluctantly followed them to the living room.

The father and daughter exchanged glances secretly, then put on their smiles again and pretended nothing had happened.

The moment they saw Xu Yao, the father and daughter were stunned. Why was he here?

"Ayao is here. Don't you have to go to class today?" Xu Yanwen asked casually.

"Today is the last day of the monthly exam, so we have a holiday in the afternoon."

Xu Yan nodded in understanding, and seeing the wound on the corner of his lip, he asked worriedly, "You are injured. How did it happen? Has the doctor seen it?"

Xu Yao raised his hand and touched it, saying nonchalantly: "It's just a minor injury, my sister has taken care of it for me, uncle, don't worry."

The word "sister" stunned both the father and daughter.

If I remember correctly, this was the first time Xu Yinyin and Xu Yao met. Why did they feel so familiar with each other?

Strange, something is weird today!

The father and daughter exchanged glances again, silently speculating in their hearts.

Jiang Xin finished explaining why Xu Yinyin and the other two came back together, and then added: "A Yao just told me that he saw you at the mall, but I didn't believe it. Then you two came back together. Did you go to meet a client?"

Xu Yanwen's heart skipped a beat. He finally understood why Xu Yao showed up at home.

He is the spokesperson brought by Yin Yin, responsible for arousing Jiang Xin's suspicion. Because he was worried that what he said would make her parents misunderstand that she was trying to sow discord between them and Yao Yao, he found an outsider to expose the lie, defend Jiang Xin's rights and interests, and prevent them from meeting with Zhou Xinyi in secret in time.

Originally it was a happy thing that his daughter was smart, but now, he just felt it was a problem.

How on earth could he deceive both his daughter and his wife at the next dinner table?

Xu Yanwen looked at Xu Yao with some disrespect, and it was obvious that he was taking it for granted.

Xu Yao was upset for a moment, and then she gritted her teeth and explained, "Well, the client had a temporary appointment. My father, whom I met by chance in the mall, also had an appointment with a client at Mingya Pavilion."

Jiang Xin smiled and said, "Is this so? Is the customer a man or a woman?"

Xu Yanwen's forehead throbbed. He was going to get to the bottom of this.

Wife, I'm really not good at lying QAQ.

Before Xu Yanwen could ask Xu Yao for help again, she continued, "When I went there, my father was seeing off a client. The person I went to see was the deputy manager of Shenghong Group, a woman."

Jiang Xin smiled again, "I seem to have a lot of questions today. It seems that I am free. Go change your clothes and prepare for dinner."

"Hey, hey."

Xu Yanwen walked straight upstairs as if he had been pardoned, and Xu Yao followed closely behind him.

[See, I told you they were guilty. They were hesitant in answering questions. They seemed to have given specific answers, but in fact they were just avoiding the main point. I don't need to think about it. They must have communicated with each other in advance. Oh, my poor rich mother, she's cheated on me! ]

[Look at the guilty look on the father and daughter's faces. I think they shouldn't be allowed to go upstairs together. Isn't this giving them the opportunity to collude? Tsk!]

The father and daughter froze as they stepped onto the second floor stairs, and then they heard Jiang Xin say, "Yaoyao, come and talk to Yao first. Yinyin and I will go to the kitchen to get some snacks."

Xu Yanwen quickly winked at her and urged her silently: Go quickly.

"OK."

Xu Yinyin, who was suddenly CUEd, felt a little flustered.

[Oh no, my mother must want to discuss this with me. How can I say it so that she won't misunderstand that I am trying to sow discord? After all, if my sister really dies with her biological mother, I will be the biggest beneficiary of the inheritance. What if my sister's mother, who is so mean, frames me for driving my sister away and sows discord between me and the Xu family, and directly gets me out of the game? Then I will die unjustly. Help! I really don't want to be involved in the fight between the rich and powerful QAQ.]

[Just play dumb and tell me you don't know!]

Jiang Xin: “······” You are really tied up!

Jiang Xin pulled Xu Yinyin to the kitchen and started to inquire about the matter despite not giving up.

"Yinyin, where did you and Ayao meet dad and sister?"

"It was just a shopping mall. I don't know what it was called. We were in the car at the time and I glanced at it casually. Besides my father and sister, there was also a woman."

"Is that so? Did you see what that woman looked like?"

"The time was too short, I couldn't see it clearly."

Xu Yinyin secretly observed Jiang Xin's expression. Seeing her distracted and uneasy look, she really couldn't bear it.

Then he said, "Mom, you rarely ask about Dad's affairs. Why are you so concerned today? Did something happen?"

"It's not a big deal actually. I had a dream last night. I dreamed that your father cheated on her with her first love. He was supposed to marry her, but your grandfather broke up the relationship. You know, the less you get, the more you cling to it. I'm worried that my dream will come true."

Jiang Xin spoke very cryptically, but she knew her daughter could understand, so, tell me quickly, did Xu Yanwen have a secret meeting with Zhou Xinyi?

[Wow, I have to say, mom's intuition is so sharp. Yes, dad was secretly meeting Zhou Xinyi, but he accidentally ran into his sister and his mother's secret meeting. The two sides had an argument, and then dad took his sister away. As for what the two said, Xu Yao didn't hear it because he lost them. ]

"Dreams and reality are opposites. Even if we meet, it doesn't necessarily mean that we have rekindled our old love. Mom knows Dad's character best, doesn't she?"

Xu Yinyin didn't want to sow discord. She just wanted to attract her mother's attention so that she could investigate thoroughly and put an end to Zhou Xinyi's conspiracy in time to ensure that her father and sister would not be deceived.

"But people change. How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers?"

[That's right. There is no cat that doesn't steal fish in this world. If Zhou Xinyi saves two and uses them, with my father's IQ, I'm afraid he can't beat her. After all, she is an old lover. Not being able to get what you want is the most exciting.]

Jiang Xin: “······” I knew it!

"Dad shouldn't be that kind of person, are you overthinking it?"

Xu Yinyin deliberately spoke vaguely, with the intention of burying a thorn in her mother's heart, poking her from time to time to attract her attention.

"Maybe. Let's go out. We're all hungry after working all day. Let's eat first."

"Yeah, okay."

[Now that I've reminded you this much, I think your mother will take notice, right?]

[Women have very accurate intuition. Once they have doubts, they will definitely get to the bottom of it. Don't worry.]

[I said it so cryptically, Mom won't misunderstand that I have bad intentions, right? ]

[How could that be? You are helping her to avoid danger and seek good fortune.]

[Ah, it’s mainly because my identity and situation are too embarrassing, otherwise I could just say it directly, it’s so uncomfortable to beat around the bush. ]

[There is no other way. Being in a wealthy family, you have to be cautious. ]

Jiang Xin suddenly raised her hand and touched the top of Xu Yinyin's head, pretending to smooth her hair, secretly giving her reassurance.

"Yinyin, don't be restrained at home. You can tell mommy whatever happens. Also, remember to use the card mommy gave you well. Don't be restrained. No matter what happens, mommy and daddy will always love you. Do you understand?"

Xu Yinyin was deeply moved and nodded quickly: "Yes, I know, Mom."

[Wow, Mom is so good, I must protect her well and never let Zhou Xinyi disturb our family. ]

Jiang Xin smiled kindly, and the unhappiness brought by Xu Yanwen was instantly swept away.

If he really dared to have anything with that woman, she would just take her two daughters away and he would never find them again in his life!

On the sofa, Xu Yao looked at Xu Yao with a scrutinizing gaze and asked him in a low voice, "Did you collude with my sister to deliberately arouse my mother's suspicion?"

Xu Yao's eyes widened slightly, "How do you know?"

"My sister's voice." She reminded quietly.

In a flash, he suddenly thought of a question. Since everyone can hear Sister Yin Yin's voice, wouldn't the uncle's family already know the truth about the real daughter?

Normal people will naturally avoid misfortune in advance when they know they are about to encounter it, so -

"Don't tell me that you deliberately let your uncle find out about your secret meeting with your mother?"

"uh-huh!"

"So the argument you had was also an act?"

"That's not the case. Dad has to act himself to be authentic."

Xu Yao thought about his uncle's furious look at that time, and it really didn't look like he was acting.

"So, have you been setting up this whole thing?" Xu Yao suddenly became excited and eager to try.

Xu Yao glanced at the kitchen and asked temptingly, "Do you want to join?"

"Yes, of course I do." Xu Yao jumped up and down, looking forward to an adventure and solving a mystery.

"Then swear, if you let out the secret I'm about to tell you, you'll be bald at an early age, have a greasy belly in middle age, and spend your old age in a nursing home, bedridden and on medication."

Xu Yao's pupils were shocked: "This is too vicious, the main purpose is to prolong the life and make it a miserable death. You are really my good sister!"

"I can't help it. Things are urgent. I have to be careful."

Xu Yao thought about what Xu Yinyin had told him about the true and false daughter conspiracy, and his hair immediately stood on end. He had to be very cautious when dealing with an opponent like that.

"You told me this alone, maybe you want to bypass Sister Yinyin to complete it."

"It's not that I don't trust my sister, it's that her thoughts will cause trouble. I don't want her to be targeted by bad people, so someone must be there to cover for her and make her mistakenly think that her plan is going smoothly. Do you understand?"

"But my sister is not alone. She has helpers. How can she hide it?"

"This depends on you. You have been smart since you were young. You should be able to handle these things easily. Otherwise, how can you live up to your title of top student?"

"That's true!" Xu Yao raised his chin, looking very proud.

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Swear quickly, my sister will be back soon."

In order to immerse himself in eating and cutting melons, Xu Yao made an ambitious vow.

"Then let's meet in the wine cellar at ten o'clock tonight."

"Yeah, got it."

"Just do what my sister told you to do before, understand?"

"So, I'm a double spy now?"

"Of course, you are the most intelligent person in our family, and ordinary tasks are not suitable for you."

"That's right!" Xu Yao's eyes were full of pride.

When everyone sat down again, the atmosphere at the table became solemn again.

While Jiang Xin was picking up food for Xu Yao and his two daughters, she was secretly making things difficult for Xu Yanwen.

Including but not limited to: asking the chef to remove his favorite dishes and replace them with various green salads, replacing seafood porridge with vegetable juice, and changing his staple dumplings to spinach dough ones, with the main goal of making the world green.

Xu Yanwen dared not say anything despite his anger. He ate green dumplings with vegetable juice and occasionally took a few chopsticks of salad. He endured the pain of swallowing the food and squeezed out an expression of enjoyment as he ate the delicacy with relish.

Xu Yao gave a thumbs up in his heart countless times, praising his uncle for being a man who can bend and stretch himself!

Xu Yao watched his father suffer, and bravely picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him, but heard Jiang Xin say with a smile: "Yaoyao is really caring. Look how well she takes care of your father."

Xu Yao turned her wrist and gave the ribs to Xu Yao, "It's rare for my brother to come to our house for dinner, eat more and don't be restrained."

Receiving the resentful look from his uncle, Xu Yao ate several pieces with tears in his eyes. They were so delicious!

Xu Yanwen: “…” Why is he always the one who suffers? QAQ.

[What should I do? I suddenly feel so sorry for my dad.]

Xu Yinyin poked at the rice in the bowl, struggling over whether to risk her life to bring some warmth to her father.

The system snorted: [Feeling sorry for a man will bring retribution. If you want to blame someone, blame him for having a first love. White moonlight is the original sin for the current boyfriend! ]

After hearing this, Jiang Xin was even more certain that she had done nothing wrong. Bai Yueguang was the original sin, especially since she was the mastermind behind the true and false daughter, which made her crime even more serious!

"Honey, I see you've been under a lot of stress lately, so I asked the chef to make you some bitter melon soup. Have some."

As he finished speaking, the chef came with a bowl of steaming bitter melon soup. Judging from the way he was holding his breath, the soup must be very delicious.

Sure enough, as soon as the bitter melon soup was placed on the table, a strong bitter smell filled the air.

Xu Yanrui's face turned green with fear, but he still smiled and said to Jiang Xin: "Thank you, my wife, you are so good to me."

Wuwuwu, Zhou Xinyi! You and I are irreconcilable QAQ!

"Of course you should. Drink it." Jiang Xin smiled gently, looking at him without blinking, ready to watch him drink it all.

Xu Yao swallowed silently, and based on his uncle's tragic experience, he came to a conclusion - don't mess with women!

The next day at work, a piece of news shocked the entire Fengyi Group.

#The victim angrily killed Ye Yanyan, and Feng Yi's former son-in-law Guo Cheng died#

As soon as Xu Yinyin entered the company, Xue Weiwei pulled her aside and asked, "Yinyin, have you heard that Guo Cheng is dead? It is said that he was killed by Shen Ling's boyfriend. That guy created a commotion and took the opportunity to stab two people to death. He stabbed them in the heart and killed them with one blow."

"What?!" Xu Yinyin was surprised.

It’s not that she felt that his death was unjust, she was just worried that her aunt would be sad after hearing it.

"If Secretary Sun asks me, just tell me I'm in Vice President Xu's office."

"Oh, okay, go ahead."

Xue Weiwei thought about it and thought that the princess was probably afraid that her aunt couldn't bear the blow. After all, she was the one she loved with all her heart.

In the office, Xu Yanwen held a cup of coffee and looked at the floating clouds in the distance. Thinking of the trending searches on her phone, a complicated look appeared in her eyes.

Guo Cheng actually died at the hands of the child's biological father. She had never imagined such a dramatic ending.

"Aunt!" Xu Yinyin's slightly panting voice came from behind her.

She turned around, put down her coffee and was about to ask, but Xu Yinyin ran over and hugged her, patting her on the back to comfort her: "Aunt, don't be sad. No matter how he ends up, it's none of your business. Don't blame yourself, okay?"

If Xue Weiwei knew about this, it must have spread a long time ago, so my aunt must have known about it as well.

Xu Yanwen's usually calm heart turned a little sad because of Xu Yinyin's concern.

Although she had only known her for a few days, the changes and courage she had brought to her were something she had never experienced in the past 35 years.

It can be said that without Yin Yin, there would be no her today, and there would be no her who dares to face and admit her mistakes.

"Silly girl, I'm not sad, nor do I feel guilty. I just suddenly felt relieved, as if the invisible weight that was pressing on me had completely dissipated with his disappearance."

Xu Yanwen held her shoulders and pulled her up, gently stroking the top of her head, and said softly: "I made it very clear that day, and I also showed him the last thing I could do for him. We are clear now."

"I'm glad you figured it out. You're stronger and braver than I thought. You're the best."

Xu Yinyin sincerely admired her sister-in-law's behavior. She loved her without hesitation and let go decisively.

"Yin Yin is great too. Your arrival has brought us good luck and made our family closer. Thank you, Yin Yin." Thank you for giving my aunt the courage and encouragement.

Xu Yinyin looked ashamed, "Actually I didn't do anything. I feel ashamed that you said that."

"Family members don't need to do anything. Just being together and sharing the joys and sorrows of every day is enough. You have done a great job. Yinyin is the treasure of our family."

Xu Yanwen held her in her arms and cuddled her intimately.

[Woo woo, my aunt is so gentle, I love her! ]

Compared with Wen Xin here, Wu Youde and Zhao Xing on the other side were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Guo Cheng's death made those who had been with him tremble in fear.

As early as when he was convicted, everyone was in a state of panic. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the old man had already collected evidence and was just waiting for his daughter to kick the man out of the house so that he could take advantage of the situation and directly deal with this thorn in his side. But no one expected that Guo Cheng would be murdered in the end!

If he just pleaded guilty and went to jail, everyone would think that the old man was merciful, but if he was stabbed to death, that would leave a lot of room for imagination.

"What did I say at the beginning? Guo Cheng couldn't believe it. Now, he didn't get to eat the mutton, but got into trouble instead!" Zhao Xing complained anxiously.

"What's the point of saying all this now? The old man has wiped out Zheng Rui without any effort, and then killed our puppet Guo Cheng. I'm afraid it will be our turn next."

As soon as Wu Youde finished speaking, they both felt a bone-chilling chill on their backs.

Zhao Xing's face was filled with anger. "It's all Xu Yinyin and her damned accomplice's fault. If we fight her, we will definitely lose. Losing power is a small matter. The most shameful and hateful thing is that he dug up some dirt on me and made it public."

Thinking about how his son has been locking himself in the room all day long since he met Xu Yinyin, and is almost suffering from autism, and won't say anything when asked, and just sits in a daze all day long, he will take revenge sooner or later.

Wu Youde also thought of his son's experience and could only comfort him, "The tragedy is only temporary. Once we destroy Xu Yinyin, we will naturally avenge Xiaogang."

"Ruined?" Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows. "Ruined in what way? She is now very much in the old man's favor. The old man wants to send bodyguards to follow her 24 hours a day. The driver who picks her up and drops her off at get off work every day is a retired special forces soldier, not to mention how many bodyguards are secretly protecting her where she lives. The old man is afraid that no one will take action, otherwise she will die!"

Wu Youde chuckled, slowly lit a cigar, and took a deep puff.

"Who told you that killing someone requires blood? Seducing someone with beauty is the real way to kill someone without bloodshed."

Zhao Xing immediately pretended to listen attentively.

"Do you remember when Xu Yanwen and his first love were together? The old man was so angry that he almost died and tore them apart. Who knew that just when Xu Yanwen was killed, Xu Yanwen was completely taken advantage of by Guo Cheng? Who can be sure that Xu Yinyin is not a lovesick person? Genes can be inherited."

Zhao Xing was not too happy after hearing this. He just said, "It's a good plan, but don't forget that Xu Yinyin has a secret weapon. How can we find someone without any black material? It will take a lot of time just to screen them."

"What a coincidence! My unfilial son just graduated and returned to China. His good friend is a poor student whom I sponsored before. He has a clean background. Now he has graduated from a prestigious school thanks to my family. His value has increased. It's time for him to repay his kindness."

"Are you so confident that Xu Yinyin will like him? Putting aside his academic qualifications, the most important thing is his appearance."

"We can't say for sure about looks and charm. It depends on how everyone reacts."

Wu Youde raised his wrist to check the time and said mysteriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should have arrived at the company by now. You just have to wait and see what happens."

What kind of gossip will the Beauty Plan reveal?

Thank you for the support of "Heart's Desire" and the comments, muah.
