Zhao Haizhong and his group searched again and again, but found nothing, their initial excitement turning into disappointment.
Except for Xu Qingqing, everyone in the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu's father was puzzled. The letter was actually easy to find; he had simply placed it under the bed sheet.
Xu Qingqing smiled slightly, concealing her merits and fame.
The letter had already been moved to her own space, so how could Zhao Haizhong possibly find it? She had already planned ahead for those people. When she entered Xu's father's room, she took advantage of the fact that those people's attention was focused on the box, found an opportunity to get her hands on it, and put it into her space.
Of course, those shark arms are nowhere to be found!
Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Zhao Haizhong gritted his teeth and left with his group. If he found the whistleblower, he would definitely skin that person alive.
Xu Qingqing knew, of course, that Lin Meijiao was responsible, but unfortunately there was no direct evidence to identify her, and keeping her around would only cause her trouble.
After Xu's father and the others left, he went to his room. Although the room was messy, it was not damaged, and the bed was overturned and in disarray.
Strange, where did that letter go?
Xu Qingqing did not return the letter to her father. The fewer people who knew about the space, the safer she and her father would be. She now suspected that Wen's mother's death could not have been due to illness, and that her maternal grandfather's family had also disappeared after Wen's mother's death.
She's in the open while her enemy is in the shadows; it's best to be careful.
The father and daughter spent the whole afternoon cleaning and finally finished packing. They said goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma Xu and returned to their other home.
Lin Meijiao waited all day, but there was still no news from the old house. Her heart sank deeper and deeper. She had written that the letter was in Xu's father's room and should be found soon. Was Zhao Haizhong an idiot for dragging this out for so long?
Just as she was cursing, she saw the figures of Xu Qingqing and her father.
How is that possible?! Why are these two people unharmed? Shouldn't they be taken away for reform and criticized?
Xu Qingqing gave her a provocative look. If she could explain it to her father, she would have dealt with them in no time. She wouldn't let them get in her way.
Xu Qingqing probably doesn't know that she wrote the whistleblower letter, right? Lin Meijiao was instantly terrified, but looking at Xu Qingqing's reaction, it seemed that she knew it was her.
No, this must not be admitted; she still needs the Xu family.
"Xu Hui, you're back!"
Bai Xiaolian was very happy to see Xu's father return.
Mr. Xu snorted and ignored Bai Xiaolian. Today's events had exceeded his expectations, and he realized that someone was targeting his Xu family.
During this critical period, that letter was enough to destroy the Xu family, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was one of those people who had targeted the Wen family back then.
After the Wen family disappeared, he searched for them but only found out that they had a complicated background; he found nothing else.
Xu Qingqing never expected that her father would suspect those people.
Seeing that Xu's father ignored her, Bai Xiaolian's eyes flashed with resentment, but her tone was gentle: "It's so late and you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I just finished cooking and was waiting for you to come back."
"No need, I have other things to do."
Xu's father refused him and went upstairs.
Xu Qingqing smiled, noticing the unpleasant expressions on the mother and daughter's faces, and inwardly gave Xu's father a huge thumbs up.
Bai Xiaolian is really shameless. She has endured Xu's father's disregard for more than ten years. She has to admire her for her patience. If it were her, she would not tolerate a man who does not care about her.
"Aunt Bai, tell me, what exactly do you see in my dad? I'm starting to feel sorry for you."
Xu Qingqing's words made Bai Xiaolian's expression stiffen, and she gave a dry laugh.
Xu Qingqing continued, "Why don't you find someone else? You must be very thirsty and restless after being alone for more than ten years. Don't be fooled by my dad's good looks. You should know that being good-looking is useless. Only being good in bed can satisfy your body and mind."
Xu Qingqing's words completely enraged the two of them.
Lin Meijiao gritted her teeth and shouted, "Xu Qingqing, you shameless person!"
She knew Xu Qingqing had ulterior motives. What did she mean by "for her mother's good"? She just wanted to drive them away.
Bai Xiaolian was crying her eyes out. Although she was older, she was well-maintained and looked to be only in her early 30s.
Bai Xiaolian sobbed, "I know you've always been unhappy with me being your stepmother, but how could you say that? You're trying to kill me!"
Lin Meijiao shouted angrily, "Xu Qingqing—, apologize to my mother right now!"
Xu Qingqing looked completely innocent: "What am I supposed to apologize for? Am I wrong? I was only advising Auntie because I wanted what was best for her. It's none of my business if it were someone else."
Who could have such a thoughtful stepdaughter?
"you……"
"What do you mean, 'you'? If I didn't see Auntie exuding a seductive aura towards my dad every day, with that unsatisfied look on her face, do you think I would care? One of them is lustful and the other is abstinent; they can't possibly end up together."
Lin Meijiao looked at Bai Xiaolian with suspicion. Could her mother really be that kind of person?
Bai Xiaolian was so angry that she fainted, but before she collapsed, she still held Lin Meijiao tightly in her lap.
How could she have given birth to such an idiot, completely led around by that brat Xu Qingqing?
The farce finally came to a halt when Bai Xiaolian fainted.
I slept well all night.
Xu Qingqing ate her breakfast without changing her expression, under the murderous gazes of Lin Meijiao and her daughter.
Before leaving, he said to the mother and daughter with reluctance, "What I said yesterday was really sincere, Auntie, please reconsider..."
"Get out of here—"
Bai Xiaolian was so angry she wanted to eat her alive. She never expected Xu Qingqing to be so shameless as to talk about her elders' bedroom affairs. If others found out, how could she ever face them again?
Xu Qingqing shrugged and walked away. What a disobedient old vixen.
After Xu Qingqing left, Lin Meijiao suddenly kicked over a chair as if she had gone mad, gritting her teeth and saying, "Mom, are you just going to put up with this?"
Bai Xiaolian calmed herself down and cleared away the dishes, saying indifferently, "Otherwise what?! Do you think Mom doesn't want to get rid of her?"
If it weren't for Xu's father's repeated warnings, she would have already taken action against Xu Qingqing.
Lin Meijiao: "What if she doesn't come back from the countryside?"
Bai Xiaolian paused, knowing what Meijiao meant. It would be good if that brat Xu Qingqing could go to the countryside, preferably one that never came back.
Given Xu's father's doting on that brat Xu Qingqing, he will definitely find a way to get her a job and prevent her from going to the countryside.
"Mom, don't forget, once the names are submitted and the list is finalized, no one can change it."
When that time comes, Xu Qingqing will obediently go to the countryside.
Conditions in the countryside are so harsh, how could a pampered girl like Xu Qingqing endure it?
When I become an official's wife, I will definitely show Xu Qingqing how high and mighty I am, while Xu Qingqing is reduced to a wretched state.
Bai Xiaolian was overjoyed to hear this and praised Lin Meijiao: "My Meijiao is truly my sweetheart. After Xu Qingqing goes to the countryside, I will find a way to give birth to the Xu family's only heir. Then the Xu family will be ours."
The mere thought that everything in the Xu family belonged to them made the two of them excited, and they imagined that wonderful future.
