Steward Liu entered, his gaze sweeping over Lu Yushan, finally resting on Sister Li.
"What is going on here? How could a stranger be allowed in?"
A younger maidservant timidly replied, "This Miss Lu forced her way in. She said she is the young master's fiancée."
Sister Li had wanted to stop her, but the girl was too quick, and it was too late.
Hearing this, Steward Liu's eyes widened in astonishment.
When did the young master gain a fiancée? He had no idea.
Yin Xi, meanwhile, found it hard to believe. Her eyes, slightly reddened, fixed on Lu Yushan.
Her thoughts were on Qin Siye. If he already had a fiancée, why did he ask her to be his girlfriend?
What was this, him toying with her?
And to make matters worse, this woman was Lu Yushan, the one she disliked the most.
"Be quiet!" Sister Li, afraid the maidservant would say anything more inappropriate, immediately scolded her sharply. Turning to Lu Yushan, she said, "Miss Lu, regarding what you've said, no one from Xing Lan Bay has heard Mr. Qin mention it.
The young master only said that Miss Yin is his girlfriend and that we should treat her well. Please leave quickly."
Lu Yushan let out a dismissive chuckle and suddenly walked towards Yin Xi. "Yin Xi, to tell you the truth, Siye and I have already consummated our marriage. Your time as his girlfriend won't last much longer.
I advise you to leave here sooner rather than later and avoid embarrassing yourself."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi felt her stomach churn, a wave of nausea rising within her.
She took a deep breath, finally calming herself down, and replied indifferently, "My living here was personally arranged by Qin Siye.
If he wants me to leave, he must tell me himself."
"You—" Lu Yushan glared at her, infuriated. "He promised me he would get engaged to me soon. Isn't me telling you the same thing?"
With a cold laugh, Yin Xi did not back down at all. "It's first come, first served. Besides, you are not the lady of this house yet, so don't think too highly of yourself.
Sometimes, the greater the hope, the more devastating the disappointment will be."
"You..." Lu Yushan was so rebutted she couldn't speak.
"Steward Liu. Please escort her out!" Yin Xi glanced at her and then, with nimble steps and an erect posture, walked towards the second floor.
"Yes." Steward Liu turned to Lu Yushan. "Miss Lu, please!"
Lu Yushan shouted after Yin Xi's retreating back, "Yin Xi, don't celebrate too soon, you—..."
Frowning deeply, Steward Liu disregarded propriety, stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and began pulling her towards the door.
After finally getting rid of her, Steward Liu immediately dialed Qin Siye's number and told him everything that had just happened in detail.
Upstairs, as soon as Yin Xi returned to her room, she slammed the door shut.
Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
She didn't understand why Lu Yushan seemed to appear wherever she went.
Could it be true what Yifei said, that she would find a way to snatch anything that belonged to her?
Thinking of what Lu Yushan had said in the living room earlier, the nauseating feeling surged again.
Seeing her so self-satisfied, could it be that Qin Siye had really... done that with her?
Wasn't he a germaphobe? Didn't he avoid women? How could he...?
And his taste was terrible, to get involved with someone as hypocritical and impure as Lu Yushan.
Qin Siye's excellent image in her mind instantly plummeted to the bottom.
While she hadn't lost her dignity in front of Lu Yushan downstairs, she couldn't bear to stay here for another moment.
With this thought, Yin Xi quickly packed her belongings, dragged her suitcase, and headed for the door.
Steward Liu and Sister Li rushed to stop her, but to no avail.
If she wanted to leave, no one could stop her.
Seeing her leave with her suitcase, Steward Liu quickly took out his phone and called Qin Siye again.
As Yin Xi reached the main road with her suitcase, preparing to hail a taxi, a black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her.
Qin Siye emerged, long legs striding, his gaze fixed sharply on Yin Xi.
Yin Xi met his gaze with equal intensity.
After a moment of their eyes locking, Qin Siye said, "Leaving without a word? Don't you think that's irresponsible?"
"I will fulfill my end of the bargain, but I don't want to stay here anymore." Yin Xi's voice was firm.
"Is it because of that woman?" Qin Siye frowned.
So, he already knew everything that had happened.
Yin Xi didn't beat around the bush with him. "Qin Siye, since you have a fiancée, why did you ask me for help?"
After a brief pause, Qin Siye slowly replied, "That was an accident. I only found out a few days ago. Don't worry, I promise I won't let her harass you here again.
Our three-month contract remains unchanged. Come back with me!" wΑp.kanshu伍.net
He admitted it! He actually admitted it!
How did he and Lu Yushan end up together?
The thought of that woman and Su Chengyu doing such sordid and disgusting things in the hotel made the last bit of good impression she had of Qin Siye vanish, and she now felt he was also tainted.
"Why her?"
"You know her?" Yin Xi's voice was quiet, but Qin Siye heard it.
"Just a colleague," Yin Xi replied nonchalantly.
She figured there was no point in denying knowing Lu Yushan, as Steward Liu must have told him everything that had happened.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned so quickly.
Qin Siye remained silent, his head bowed as if lost in thought.
"Mr. Qin, I think I should still leave this place to avoid any misunderstandings with your fiancée. If you need me for anything, just call me, and I promise to appear before you immediately."
With that, Yin Xi pushed her suitcase and walked in another direction.
As she took a step, her arm was firmly grasped by a man's powerful hand.
"You don't have to live here, but your accommodation must be arranged by me. If you run off and turn off your phone, where will I find you?" Qin Siye said.
Yin Xi frowned, struggled to break free, and took a step back. "Don't you trust me?"
She even suspected that his reason for keeping her at Xing Lan Bay was for this very purpose.
"Grandmother likes you very much, and I might need you at any time." Qin Siye's answer was completely irrelevant.
Saying this, he reached out, placed her suitcase in the car's trunk, and personally opened the front passenger door for her.
Yin Xi had no choice but to get in the car.
They drove for about ten minutes without speaking.
Qin Siye turned the car into a high-end residential complex and stopped in front of a high-rise building.
He got out, opened the trunk, took out Yin Xi's suitcase. Qin Siye wanted to help her carry it upstairs, but Yin Xi firmly took it from his hands.
"No need, I can manage."
They took the elevator to the fifth floor. Qin Siye opened the door, turned on the lights, and handed the key to Yin Xi.
"This is a three-bedroom apartment, fully equipped with appliances and furniture. You can stay here for now. If you need anything, you can tell me anytime."
"Okay," Yin Xi pushed her suitcase inside, her gaze sweeping around the room. Turning back, she slowly closed the door. "Mr. Qin, please go."
Hearing this, Qin Siye felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.
