After getting into the car, Xu Zhengyang fiddled with his laptop as he looked at the rearview mirror and asked Xu Jiaojiao, “So are you letting Lu Huan off?”

“I didn’t say that! I would never let that jerk off so easily.” Xu Jiaojiao pouted.

“Then why did you say that to Bai Mengyao just now?” Xu Zhengyang didn’t understand.

“Of course I had to say that! Bai Mengyao loves Lu Zhuo so much, so she’d want to win over his family. What if she tries to take the fall for Lu Huan too?” Xu Jiaojiao said in all seriousness.

“Heh! So you’re trying to sow discord between them?” Xu Zhengyang realized this ditzy sister of his still had some tricks up her sleeve.

“Not at all,” Xu Jiaojiao denied.

“You’re lying.” Xu Zhengyang was certain.

“Qi Shenbai, 1 want to go to the three-star Michelin restaurant to eat delicious food.” Xu Jiaojiao hugged Qi Shenbai’s arm.

“Sure, let’s go now.” Qi Shenbai agreed without hesitation. It was rare to hear Xu Jiaojiao say that she wanted to eat something. Let a three-star Michelin restaurant, he would even go to outer space for her.

“I’ll go too.” Xu Zhengyang had been working non-stop for two days and now his stomach was growling.

“No, you can’t come,” Xu Jiaojiao said coquettishly.

“Are you really my sister?” Xu Zhengyang’s face fell.

“Of course not. Didn’t Mom say last time that you were adopted?” Xu Jiaojiao said with a straight face.

“Stop the car here,” Qi Shenbai hurriedly said. “See you, brother-in-law.”

Just like that, Xu Zhengyang was left on the side of the road. As he watched the car drive away, he gradually came to accept things. It was better for him not to go! They would surely act all lovey-dovey in front of him, making him want to dig his eyes out. He would rather take care of things and then treat himself to a nice meal!

They went to the same three-star Michelin restaurant and ordered Xu Jiaojiao’s favorite dishes as before.

Qi Shenbai put food in her bowl, scooped some soup for her, brought out tissues, and wiped her mouth… He took care of her very carefully.

Xu Jiaojiao was extremely hungry, but she still ate slowly and obediently.

By the time returned to Qingshui Villa after dinner, Qi Yunduo was already asleep. She had been busy for two days and was extremely worn out. Once she knew that the matter was almost settled, she went to sleep.

Qi Shenbai, on the other hand, took several calls, one after another The last call was from Pei Yan.

After Pei Yan’s report, Qi Shenbai found out that the police had already arrested Bai Mengyao.

Just as Xu Jiaojiao had said, Bai Mengyao did not take all the blame. Instead, she said that Lu Huan was the mastermind behind everything. She had merely sent a message to Old Madam Xu.

After the police found out the truth, they issued a warrant to hunt Lu Huan down.

When the police went to Lu Huan’s house, they could not find her. Lu Feng and Zou Lan claimed that they did not know where Lu Huan was. However, the police did not give up and continued to investigate.

In the end, Qi Shenbai told Pei Yan to investigate what Bai Mengyao had gotten up to overseas.

Although the police did not pursue the matter, she had still hurt Xu Jiaojiao. This was a fact, and Qi Shenbai would not let her off so easily.

As for Lu Huan, no matter how well she hid, she could not hide forever. She had to come out eventually.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao. She was sitting on the sofa and playing with her phone as if nothing had happened.

“What are you looking at? Why are you so focused?” Qi Shenbai sat down beside Xu Jiaojiao.

“I’m just surfing the Internet!” Xu Jiaojiao said softly.

“Is it that interesting?” Qi Shenbai said as he peeked at her screen. Was it more interesting than him?

Xu Jiaojiao stopped scrolling through her phone and tilted her head to look at Qi Shenbai carefully. “Why do 1 feel like you’re being a little…”

She stopped mid-sentence.

“A little what?” Qi Shenbai asked.

“Hehe! I’m not telling you,” Xu Jiaojiao said mischievously.

Since she refused to continue, Qi Shenbai did not probe further. Instead, he said, “Tell me, have you remembered everything?”

“No! I don’t remember anything,” Xu Jiaojiao denied.

“Liar, you clearly remembered it all.” Qi Shenbai could feel that Xu Jiaojiao’s gaze had changed. There was a hint of melancholy hidden in her bright eyes.

Although she had deceived Xu Zhengyang, she could not deceive him.

“Why are you so hard to deceive? I admit it. I remember everything.” Xu Jiaojiao sighed helplessly.

“I can sense the tiniest changes in your demeanor, so 1 could tell,” Qi Shenbai said calmly. Then, he pulled Xu Jiaojiao’s hand and placed it in front of his chest.

She could clearly feel the beating of his heart. It was so strong and loud that her face subconsciously turned red. Helpless, she could only turn her head away. “That means 1 won’t be able to hide anything from you in the future!”

“Why would you hide anything from me? I want to know everything.” Qi Shenbai was still holding Xu Jiaojiao’s hand.

“B-But everyone has their secrets! I also have things I don’t want to tell you.” Xu Jiaojiao turned to look into his deep eyes..
