Qiu Shuying's eyes turned slightly red, "Silly child, where could I possibly go!"
"You can go anywhere you want, it just depends on whether you're willing to let go." Lan Yuxi frowned slightly, "Do you really want to spend the rest of your life watching her die in agony?"
Qiu Shuying choked out, "Yuxi, are you trying to drive me away? If you can't stand me, then I'll go live in a temple."
Lan Yuxi took a step back, her voice clear and cold, "You live in your old house, and I live in my half-mountain villa. We won't interfere with each other, what is there for me not to stand about you? I'm saying this for your own good. If you think of me like this, then we don't need to see each other anymore!"
"Yuxi, I'm sorry, I misspoke." Qiu Shuying stepped forward, reaching to grab Lan Yuxi's hand.
Lan Yuxi dodged her hand, "Did you misspoke? How come I feel like this is your true feeling? Don't you trust that I'll forgive you? If that's what you think, then congratulations, you guessed right!"
Lan Yuxi turned and left.
Qiu Shuying quickly chased after her, "Yuxi, I'm sorry! I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart."
Nan Xiao heard the commotion and glanced over coldly.
Lan Yuxi ignored Qiu Shuying and walked quickly to the end of the corridor. There's a reason why pitiable people are often detestable. She shouldn't have said so much to Qiu Shuying.
Qiu Shuying looked at Nan Xiao with teary eyes, "I... I said the wrong thing and made Yuxi angry."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly, "She genuinely cares about you, yet you pushed her a thousand miles away with your words!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shuying fell onto the waiting chair with a thud, "What have I done?"
Nan Xiao gave her a indifferent look and beckoned to Lan Yuxi, "Let's go back."
Lan Yuxi pouted and walked over, "Aren't we staying any longer?"
"No, when she wakes up, I'll come back and keep her company."
Nan Xiao said, wrapping an arm around her waist, and entered the elevator under Qiu Shuying's gaze.
Seeing that there was no one in the elevator, Lan Yuxi said, "I've tried so hard to persuade her, and she still won't leave. I have a feeling she's plotting something."
"Someone is watching her, she can't cause any trouble." Nan Xiao's arm around her waist tightened slightly, pulling her directly into his embrace, "In the future, pay less attention to her, so your good intentions aren't mistaken for ill will."
"Mm." Lan Yuxi pouted and buried her head deeply in his chest.
Nan Xiao dotingly stroked her head, "Are you feeling wronged?"
"Mm. I should have been more heartless."
Nan Xiao curved his lips slightly, "If you could be heartless, you wouldn't be you."
Lan Yuxi pouted and broke free from his embrace, "How did my sixth and seventh brothers' talks with Old Huo go?"
"They've guaranteed one of them will stay here long-term, and they've signed a three-year contract. If the contract is satisfactory, they'll renew it later." Nan Xiao paused and looked down at Lan Yuxi, "They're afraid I'll bully you, so they want to stay and protect you."
Lan Yuxi said indignantly, "You bullied me last night. If you bully me again, I'll tell them, and they'll beat you up."
Nan Xiao chuckled, "How will you tell them? That I bullied you in bed?"
Lan Yuxi froze for a moment. Right, how could she tell anyone about this.
Nan Xiao saw that the elevator doors had opened, took her hand, and smiled, "Let's go, don't keep the two children and Mom and Dad waiting too long."
Lan Yuxi kicked him with her little foot as she walked, but Nan Xiao not only didn't get angry, he laughed from being kicked.
"Remember when you were little and insisted on staying overnight at Luo Wanqi's house, and I refused, and you kicked me all the way home like this?"
"Hmph! I don't remember!"
Just as Lan Yuxi was about to lift her foot to kick him again, Su Chi walked over from the opposite direction.
Su Chi was clearly taken aback when he saw them, "Nan Xiao, Miss Lan."
Lan Yuxi didn't even look at him and directly linked her arm with Nan Xiao's.
Nan Xiao nodded slightly at Su Chi, "Vice President Su, are you here to see Su Ya? I heard Su Ya's surgery was very successful. Congratulations."
Su Chi forced a relaxed smile, "Thank you. The elevator is here, I need to catch it, I'm leaving now."
Nan Xiao made way for him and Lan Yuxi. After Su Chi entered the elevator, a dismissive smile appeared on Nan Xiao's face.
"Su Ya's surgery likely failed." Nan Xiao told Lan Yuxi this news after their car left the hospital gates.
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "Are you sure?"
"Huo Ding said so, but the Su family is still using that foreign doctor for now, and Huo Ding and his team can't even get close to the ward."
"Beep beep..." Lan Yuxi's phone suddenly rang.
Lan Yuxi glanced at the number, pressed the answer button, and after the other person finished speaking, she simply said "Got it" and hung up.
"Heh, old fox!"
Nan Xiao glanced at her.
Lan Yuxi hooked her lips wickedly, "I finally caught Su Chi red-handed! Yun Siyan's death was not natural!"
"So many people couldn't find any flaws, how did you know?"
"Yun Siyan's husband told me himself." Lan Yuxi then dialed Ming Zicheng's number, "You'll know what's going on after I finish talking with Er Wan."
"Sister, is something wrong?" Ming Zicheng's voice came from the receiver.
"Mm, it's about Su Chi. Su Chi has a driver named Gao Ming who has been with him for ten years. Gao Ming is currently the nominal owner of Yuchen Trading, managing the company for Su Chi. Su Chi transferred ten million yuan to Yun Siyan's husband, Bai Qihong, through his account. Then Bai Qihong bribed a female inmate named Shen Li in prison with one million yuan to give Yun Siyan an apple injected with a colorless, odorless, and residue-free poison."
"No wonder no problem was ever found. Su Chi is truly cunning, deliberately falling out with Gao Ming and then firing him, so no one would suspect he was the real boss of Yuchen Trading."
"What do you plan to do?" Lan Yuxi asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Are you with Nan Xiao?" Ming Zicheng asked, not answering her question.
"Mm, do you want to speak with him?"
"If it's convenient, let him take the phone."
"Okay." Lan Yuxi handed the phone to Nan Xiao's ear.
"President Ming, what are your orders?"
"Lend me a place to hold someone."
"Are you going to hold Shen Li?"
Ming Zicheng chuckled, "I love dealing with smart people like you."
"Alright, once you bring the person out, my people will pick her up... You're not planning to deal with Su Chi immediately?"
"I'll deal with him after the summit."
"Okay, understood."
Lan Yuxi took back her phone after they finished talking, "Bai Qihong is in my hands. Tell me when you need him to testify."
"Thank you, Sister. Without you, I really wouldn't have been able to handle him so quickly."
Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes, "Too much nonsense, hang up if there's nothing else."
"Wait..."
