Kill crazy! The real daughter rushed to rectify the rich family!

The only sound in the room for a moment was Mrs. Qin's trying to regulate her breathing.

Before she could calm down completely, Qin Wu spoke.

"I'm not trying to get revenge on her."

Mrs. Qin was even more shocked: "Then you..." She said in a speechless and unbelievable way, "You can't really like her, fall in love with her, and want to marry her, right?"

"Yes." Qin Wu answered without hesitation, "Is it not possible?"

"..." Madam Qin was completely stunned. After a long while, her chest rose and fell rapidly. She could no longer endure it and burst out, "Are you... are you Stockholm?! Are you going to like someone who wants to kill you?!"

"I just need to prevent myself from being killed." Qin Wu sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, looked up at his mother, with a faint smile on his face and a somewhat morbid expression. "She won't kill me easily. Although I don't know why, she doesn't seem to want to become a murderer and go to jail - so, as long as I don't die, I can stay by her side and watch over her forever."

"..." Madam Qin said weakly, "What do you want to see her do? Do you want to see her beat you, scold you, and cut you with a knife?"

"It's not impossible." Qin Wu leaned his head back on the sofa, his tone lazy and a little intoxicated, "But if in addition to this, I can also see her playing chess, painting, playing the piano - or even just seeing her breathing, I will feel very happy."

"..."

Mrs. Qin had no expression on her face.

She seemed to have lost all ability to speak and express herself.

She has avoided talking about Ye Kong over the years because she is still haunted by Qin Wu's condition that year. Qin Wu has also stopped talking about her over the years. Apart from his increasingly bad temper and his continued love for playing Go, he seems to have forgotten what happened back then.

But now it seems that he didn't just forget it, he remembered it deeply and he is simply sick and crazy!

Ye Kong...

She repeated these two words in her mind again.

With gnashing hatred and deep regret.

She shouldn't have let her leave Nangang out of momentary fear and dread!

She should have blocked all ports and airports, searched the whole city, found the person, and buried him in the mountains and forests! It would be better to let Qin Wu worry about him for the rest of his life than to live like this!

"it is good."

After a quick thinking, Mrs. Qin suppressed her inner rage and pain and quickly made a decision, "I will help you."

She said grimly, "We will stay in Yuzhou until the Stars project is officially launched. During this period..." Turning her head to look at Qin Zheng, who was lying on the bed with her head down, pretending she didn't exist, the woman suddenly stopped talking and said calmly, "Zheng, our cooperation with the Wen family is a must. If you and Wen Can can get the engagement as soon as possible, we will have more bargaining chips. Do you understand?"

Qin Zheng knew that she should nod immediately at this moment, just as smart and sensible as before, so that she could gain more trust and rights.

But... with Xie Bai in front of her, it was extremely difficult for her to nod her head.

Madam Qin frowned, but said gently: "I know Wen Can's attitude towards you is not very good, I am not in a hurry, you can take your time."

She quickly ended the conversation.

Because Qin Zheng and Xie Bai who were present were both close friends, they didn't say anything about keeping it a secret and just turned around to leave.

But just as she turned around, she suddenly stopped again.

After pausing for several seconds, she turned around and stared at Xie Bai, who was standing like a transparent man beside the bed, and suddenly asked, "Ah Bai?"

"..." Xie Bai paused.

Madam Qin's voice sounded faintly: "How badly is Ah Zheng injured? You applied the medicine for nearly ten minutes?"

"..."

Qin Zheng lowered her head in shock, only to find that her ankles had been covered with countless layers of potion, and her original skin color could no longer be seen.

She was speechless for a moment, then noticed the cold atmosphere and her aunt's gradually frowning brows, and immediately subconsciously defended him, "It was my request - apply more and it will heal faster. Aunt, you must not have heard it. I didn't dare to disturb you and Awu, so I told Xie Bai quietly."

She made an embarrassed expression.

"Really?" Mrs. Qin's brows finally relaxed. She couldn't think of anything suspicious about Xie Bai, so she gave up and only blamed Qin Zheng, "The more potion you apply, the better. Do you have any common sense..."

Mrs. Qin left.

Xie Bai began to bandage Qin Zheng.

She had a lot of questions to ask, but Qin Wu hadn't left yet, so she had to keep them to herself.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Wu slowly stood up.

He walked to the bed, stared at Qin Zheng with strange eyes, and said slowly: "My mother asked you to take your time."

Qin Zheng was startled and looked up at him. When she met that cold gaze, she almost thought that she was not a human being, but a piece of steak waiting to be cut on a plate.

"But A Zheng." Qin Wu said slowly, "Wen Can is just a cripple after all. You can't be so useless that you can't even seduce a crippled man, right?"

Qin Zheng: ...

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she said, "Ye Kong is just a coffee shop owner, how come you can't seduce her? Maybe they are just a perfect match, like a pot and a lid, so I can't seduce Wen Can, and you can't seduce Ye Kong either."

"..."

Qin Wu was silent for a long time, until Qin Zheng's scalp was numb, he said lightly: "Zheng, don't irritate me."

He turned and walked out: "You may get a lot by pleasing my mother, but you will never get what you want. But if I am happy, I can give you what you want most - no matter what it is."

"Marry Wen Can as soon as possible, and I will give you a big gift."

"I guarantee it'll be the kind you like."

The door was closed.

The two secretaries who stayed at the door guarding it finally left with the detection equipment.

When there were only two people left in the guest room, Qin Zheng finally asked.

"What were you thinking about just now? Why did you seem to be in a trance?"

This is really unlike Xie Bai's style, he would be so dazed that he would reveal his true identity.

Xie Bai just finished wrapping the last roll of bandages, took back his hand and said calmly: "Do you believe me when I say I was obsessed with gossip?"

"...I believe it." Qin Zheng couldn't help but curl her eyes, "After all, I was also fascinated by it."

After a pause, she asked again: "But, haven't you been in and out of the Qin family often since you were a child? It's fine if I don't know what happened between them, but how come you don't know either?"

"I was focusing on study and work at the time and was too busy to pay attention to these things."

After breaking away from the state of being absorbed in listening to gossip, Xie Bai's movements became extremely quick and efficient.

He quickly packed up everything and stood up: "Don't use force on your right foot. Someone will bring you a cane later, or you can use a wheelchair if you want."

"I don't want to sit in a wheelchair. Wouldn't that make me look more compatible with Wen Can?"

She just complained subconsciously, and she immediately regretted it. She looked up at Xie Bai's expression and found that there was still no fluctuation on his face.

But before leaving, Xie Bai seemed to hesitate for a moment, and still said a few more words: "What Qin Wu said is true."

"what?"

"Don't provoke him." Xie Bai said, "Although you live in the Qin family, you spend most of your time with my aunt, and you don't interact with Qin Wu that much. Maybe you think he is just a person with a bad temper and a bad personality who happened to be born into a good family, but... he has no bottom line and is more cruel and violent than you think."

Qin Zheng was stunned: "Is this the reason why you have kept your distance from him for so many years?"

"Keep your distance?"

Qin Zheng saw the man suddenly curl up the corners of his lips - this was the first time she saw such obvious emotions on Xie Bai's face, even a sharp and sarcastic expression.

But the smile disappeared in a second.

Without further explanation, he thought for a moment and gave an example of decisiveness: "Huo Qingyun."

"Hmm?" Qin Zheng didn't understand.

"Huo Qingyun wasn't like this before." Xie Bai said, "Although she has been willful and has a bad temper since she was a child, she is at least a normal person who can reason with others. She even donated money to build homes for stray dogs in communities all over Nangang. Compared to some more inhumane young masters and young ladies, she can even be considered a kind person--"

Qin Zheng was stunned. She simply couldn't imagine that Huo Qingyun could ever be kind to others.

"It was Qin Wu who made her like this." Xie Bai said, "Everyone thought that he would form an alliance with the Huo family and marry Huo Qingyun. He never refuted this point, but you just saw that he never thought of marrying Huo Qingyun. He didn't even regard Huo Qingyun as a living person."

"To him," Xie Bai said coldly, "Huo Qingyun is just an experimental subject."

"...But what kind of experiment is he going to do on Huo Qingyun?"

"..." Xie Bai glanced at her, "You'll know soon."

A hint of cold smile seemed to flash across the man's lips: "After all, the experiment on Huo Qingyun has ended, but the experiment on him... has not yet ended."

"take a good rest."

He turned and left.

Qin Zheng felt that she still had something to say to him, but in the end she swallowed it back.

Qin Wu was right, she wanted something more.

Both her aunt and Qin Wu needed her to catch Wen Can, so she couldn't dream of Xie Bai... But...

But if human emotions could be controlled, people like her aunt and Qin Wu would not have been so deadlocked over Ye Kong.

She lowered her head in annoyance, staring at her well-wrapped ankles, and unconsciously grasped a hint of sweetness from the scene just now. Finally, she fell back into the pillow helplessly.

·

After Xie Bai came out of the guest room, he went straight to the bathroom on the other side of the corridor.

After walking along a road lined with guest rooms, a figure in a black dress suddenly appeared at the end of a long corridor filled with lights and evening breeze.

It was Miss Ye who had just stole the show at the banquet.

She seemed to have just come out of the bathroom and was walking towards this side casually. The wind blew in from the window behind her, ruffling a few strands of soft hair on her temples. Under the light from above, it was like being in a movie.

But Xie Bai didn't even look at her.

Both of them did the same, walking closer and closer without even the slightest tilt of their peripheral vision until they passed each other.

Hidden by the hem of their skirts and the bottom of their sleeves, in the dim darkness where neither cameras nor lights could reach, their palms gently clapped against each other, like an unspoken high-five.

"Long time no see, you lousy chess player."

"Did you enjoy using my bodyguard?"

They passed each other.

There is no communication.

Xie Bai walked into the bathroom in the evening breeze, greeted by a stronger wind.

He washed his hands in front of the mirror.

The lights outside the window and the sunset blended together in the mirror, making the smile on his lips even brighter.

Ye Kong strode towards the terrace, the corners of his mouth curled up nonchalantly.
