The housekeeper looked at Qin Bai sitting on the sofa with a very flustered expression.
She gripped the blanket tightly with one hand, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at him.
"Mr. Qin, it's not very appropriate for you to come to my room so late at night. It could easily cause the young lady to misunderstand, otherwise..."
His gaze fell on the closed door, and he sat up as if he were about to run away at any moment.
Qin Bai picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Whew~~~
A cool sensation traveled down my throat to my stomach; the alcohol was diluted and its effects diminished slightly.
Qin Bai didn't respond to her question, but instead asked with a smile, "What is your surname?"
"What noble surname do I have? I've been with the Luo family for decades, and I've long since taken the surname of the main family."
"Alright, Aunt Luo, why don't we have an open and honest talk?"
"Mr. Qin, perhaps you should leave, Miss..."
A hint of pleading appeared on Aunt Luo's face.
Qin Bai waved his hand: "You were outside the door the whole time, weren't you? What would have happened if I hadn't stopped in time?"
"Mr. Qin, please don't joke around. I haven't left the house at all, so how could I be at the bedroom door?"
"Aunt Luo, you're still too careless."
Qin Bai took out his phone, opened the video, and threw it onto the bed.
After Aunt Luo picked it up, the expression on her face kept changing.
Surprise, frustration, anger...
In the end, it turned into indifference.
"Wow, I really didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so vigilant."
"Likewise."
Aunt Luo gently pressed the video delete button, got up from the bed, and sat opposite Qin Bai.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, but this file isn't backed up, is it?"
"Of course, if we're going to be open and honest, we should choose to trust the other party."
Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?
Qin Bai shook his head: "I'm not afraid, because I have nothing to lose."
He took his phone back and put it in his pocket.
Qin Bai was actually quite puzzled when he arrived at the villa.
Even if Luo Qingyan doesn't come back often, shouldn't the Luo family, with their strength, arrange for a few bodyguards or other servants?
Why is it just the butler?
So.
There can only be one outcome.
Luo Jiaxin believed her.
There is no need for others to monitor each other, and there is no chance of being bribed.
If that's the case, why would she deliberately create opportunities for the two of them to be alone?
From the Luo family's perspective, they certainly didn't want Luo Qingyan to suffer any losses, and they certainly didn't want an ordinary person like him, who was penniless, to marry Luo Qingyan.
Having figured all this out, Qin Bai kept a close eye on the butler's movements.
In the living room on the first floor, Aunt Luo had actually hidden herself very well, but he still discovered some clues.
Before going into the bedroom, I secretly put my phone in the corner.
He wanted to obtain evidence that the housekeeper was spying on him.
Whether it was luck or caution, Qin Bai guessed everything correctly.
The housekeeper thanked him for a simple reason: if he gave the video to Luo Qingyan or Luo Yuquan, her job as housekeeper would be over.
Qin Bai continued, "What will happen if I stay in that bedroom?"
"I'll rush in."
"And then?"
"I don't know. Someone will take over this matter. My role is just to guide and monitor."
Qin Bai nodded: "Hehe, what a good introduction."
Fortunately, Big Head controlled Little Head today; otherwise, he would have been badly injured even if he hadn't died.
Come to think of it, a daughter of the prestigious Luo family, a perfect tool for marriage alliances, it's not so easy to take away her most precious possession.
"Have you been following Qingyan around the whole time?"
Qin Bai asked a completely nonsensical question.
Aunt Luo paused for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I watched Miss grow up."
"Oh, you haven't gotten married yet?"
"No."
"I understand."
Aunt Luo asked in surprise, "What do you know?"
"Now I know why Qingyan has never kept you by her side."
Aunt Luo's expression visibly stiffened for a moment, then she said awkwardly, "The villa is so big, it always needs people..."
"Because she knows you're not trustworthy."
The truth is the best weapon to pierce the heart.
Aunt Luo's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she lowered her head without refuting anything.
A person like her, without children, is called a housekeeper, but in reality, she is just a servant sold to the Luo family, and she has even lost her own surname.
He watched Luo Qingyan being born and growing up before he was even 20, taking care of her daily life.
He devoted himself entirely to her, just like raising a daughter.
When Luo Qingyan was young, she would always secretly hide some snacks and, when no one was paying attention, risk being punished to deliver them to that little angel's mouth.
Of course, the little angel would also give her a sweet smile.
That's enough; it's enough to avert any crisis.
More than 20 years have passed in this way.
But one day, the little angel, now grown up, suddenly began to oppose the family's opinions and ran away on her own.
She wanted to go too, but unfortunately...
The little angel gave her a deep look, then turned and left alone, leaving behind only a glistening tear.
This seemed to shatter all her hopes, and she was imprisoned in this cage ever since.
Should we blame others?
No wonder.
She had to do what the Luo family had instructed her to do.
There is no difference between betraying someone once and betraying them a hundred times.
