Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Liu Yiqiu gulped nervously. She used to be so elegant and presentable, but now, her eyes were filled with fear.
She did not dare to utter even a single word.
Xiang Huai slowly asked, “Hurry up and tell us what happened!”
His casual words made Liu Yiqiu shudder. She hurriedly said, “I-I… Mom forced me to do it back then. All of this has nothing to do with me. Later, when I saw that the child was so pitiful and innocent, my heart softened and I couldn’t bear to do it…”
Her voice became softer and softer. Although the people staring at her did not speak, everyone’s eyes revealed mockery and doubt.
She instantly stopped talking about that and told the truth. “Actually, after the child was stolen from the hospital, we planned to drown her. Hence, we found a bucket in an empty room and threw her in.”
She looked at Xue Xi. “After that, after five minutes, we felt that the child should have died. However, when we went to the huge bucket, we realized that the child was already gone! There was a trail of water on the ground, but we checked the surveillance cameras and couldn’t find her even after searching for a long time!”
She widened her eyes. “So when Mom asked about it, I-I said that she was already dead and buried…”
Xiang Huai moved to Xue Xi’s ear. “It must have been an esper who could turn invisible who saved you.”
Xue Xi nodded. “Probably.”
After saying this, they looked at Xue Sheng and Ye Li and did not speak further. They walked out of the room.
After they left, they realized that Lin Jing and Mr. Xiang had also walked out. They seemed to want to give this lounge to Xue Sheng’s family to settle this matter.
Xue Xi did not participate in the process.
However, half an hour later, the police arrived. They went upstairs and arrested Liu Yiqiu. Liu Yiqiu did not dare to shout and silently followed the police away.
After they left, Old Master Xue, who had aged ten years, left with the pale and tottering old lady. The two of them did not even dare to meet the rest of the people and left dejectedly.
At the same time, Ye Li also went downstairs with red eyes. She found Xue Xi and told her the result of the investigation. “…That fortune-teller back then was a setup by Liu Yiqiu’s people. She wanted to get rid of you. That way, the eldest branch would have no children and the second branch would have the right to inherit. Later, Liu Yiqiu was also the one who tried to kill you. She committed attempted murder and was arrested and would be sentenced. As for the old lady…”
Ye Li turned to look at Xue Xi. “After all, she’s your father’s mother. It’s mainly because she’s old. The old patriarch said that she has been found to have liver cancer and doesn’t have many months to live. He asked your father to let her off… Your father doesn’t agree, but I thought about it and decided to forget it.”
With liver cancer, one could only live for half a year at most.
Moreover, if such a person were to go to jail, they might have to frequently hire a doctor. They should not create trouble for the police…
Ye Li was right. Xue Xi nodded in agreement.
Following that, everyone held a birthday banquet as though nothing had happened.
When Xue Xi held Xiang Huai’s arm and walked downstairs, all the wealthy families in Bin City were stunned. They were a perfect match!
Meanwhile, Lin Jing and Mr. Xiang were even more generous. They directly gifted her a villa in the capital and did not give her any cash. After all, Lin Jing’s money had already been cheated out of her by her son.
Everyone’s gifts were very expensive, so no one made trouble.
When the banquet was about to end and Xue Sheng and Ye Li had sent everyone off, Lin Jing grabbed Ye Li’s hand. “Let’s discuss Xixi and Xiang Huai’s engagement, alright?”
Ye Li: “?”
Mr. Xiang also looked at Xue Sheng. “Let’s have them engaged first and talk about marriage later.”
Xue Sheng agreed.
Turning around, Ye Li and Lin Jing waved at Xiang Huai and Xue Xi. “It’s not good for you juniors to get involved in such matters. Moreover, you know that many students came today. Go play with your peers!”
Xue Xi wanted to say that there was nothing fun to do and was just about to decline when she heard Xiang Huai say, “Alright, they’re all waiting for us.”
After saying this, Xiang Huai dragged Xue Xi out.
When they got into the car, Xue Xi asked curiously, “Where are you taking me? Also, who is waiting for us?”
Xiang Huai smiled. “You’ll know when you get there.”
