The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Chapter 256 – Huo Xuan’s Thoughts

Chapter 256: Huo Xuan’s Thoughts

“I booked a room at the hotel beside the hospital. I didn’t keep guarding here. Bailu was asleep when I was around. I was probably not around when she woke up. If you don’t believe me, you can go and check the hotel’s reservation records.”

After that, she threw a glance at Qin Bailu unkindly.

Qin Bailu pursed her lips in silence.

Asleep?

She was in so much pain that she almost couldn’t sleep at all last night.

A hotel beside the hospital?

It seemed like she often did this kind of thing. She had even found a reason to excuse herself after being exposed.

She was probably a regular at a hotel beside the Imperial Capital Hospital. After all, Min Guili was the director of the Imperial Capital Hospital and was very close to it.

“I didn’t say anything about you. I was just asking. Why are you so agitated?” As he spoke, Qin Chongwen reprimanded Qin Bailu, “Bailu, you too. Be careful what you say next time. Don’t say things that will easily provoke conflict between your parents.”

Did she need to start a conflict?

When the truth was exposed one day, it would be a scandal.

“I’m sorry. I might have been too sleepy.”

“Dad, Mom, why are you here at this time?”

Qin Chongwen, who had just sat down, did not know what to say when he heard her question.

“We did have a problem.”

Bai Shuangshuang sat down and crossed her legs as she looked at Qin Bailu, “Have you forgotten what you did yesterday?”

“What have I done?”

“Bailu, Master Nine’s people personally sent those people who were almost dead and these evidence over to the Qin Family.” Qin Chongwen took out a document bag.

“Tell Daddy, does this have anything to do with you? Tell me the truth. As long as you say it, Daddy will believe you. Daddy knows that you’ve always been an obedient and sensible child. Daddy doesn’t believe that you’re capable of such a thing.”

Before Qin Bailu could say anything, Bai Shuangshuang beat her to it, “The evidence is right here, how can it be fake? Since she dares to do it, she has to take responsibility for it! You’re always so biased towards her. Who knows when she’ll cause a huge trouble for you!”

“Now that Master Nine wants an explanation, can you not hand her over? Qin Chongwen, do you want the Qin Family to be completely destroyed?”

Qin Chongwen could not believe that she would say such a thing, “Shuangshuang, Bailu is our daughter. Haven’t you always doted on her? Why are you saying such things now?”

“I don’t have such a troublesome daughter!”

Who knew if Master Nine had found anything about her when he was investigating Qin Bailu?

In order to prevent Qin Bailu from finding out, she had no choice but to give up this chess piece.

“You—”

Qin Chongwen was about to get angry when Qin Bailu interrupted, “I did it.”

Qin Chongwen frowned. “Bailu, don’t be rash. I want to hear the truth.”

“That’s the truth.”

“I didn’t manage to kill Yan Jinyu because I’m not as skilled as her. If the other party wants an explanation, I won’t implicate the Qin Family. Daddy, just hand me over.”

“Bailu, you…”

Qin Chongwen was still surprised that Qin Bailu was actually so calm, let alone Bai Shuangshuang.

Bai Shuangshuang thought that Qin Bailu would argue at this time and drag her out, saying that she was the one who asked her to do this.

She had already thought of a way to absolve herself from this.

She didn’t expect Qin Bailu to be so calm.

Did she not know what would happen to her after she was handed over?

Or did she naively think that the Qin Family had a way to save her?

“It’s settled then. Daddy, make the arrangements. Tell me when you’re done. I’ll lie down and sleep for a while.” After saying that, she didn’t care about their reaction and just lay down and closed her eyes.

Under the blanket, her hands were clenched into fists.

She really did not care about her life at all!

Then, don’t blame her for not forgoing about their relationship!

Since Master Nine and Yan Jinyu had asked Master Nine’s special assistant to make a trip personally, they definitely wouldn’t be fooling with her. Since nothing would happen, she would settle this score after she came back!

Mom had mistaken Min Sisi as her daughter, so let her continue to think like this! When the time came, she would tell the truth and make Mom regret it for the rest of her life!

As for Yan Jinyu, at least for now, she wasn’t her match. Moreover, she still had a huge handle in Yan Jinyu’s hands. She wouldn’t be stupid enough to pick a losing battle.

She would settle the score first and think about the rest later!

“Bailu…”

“I’m going to bed. Daddy, go arrange it.”

“I’m asking you. Have you really found someone to harm the Yan Family’s daughter?” Qin Chongwen asked with a frown.

When Qin Bailu heard that, she opened her eyes and looked at him. “That’s right! She’s the greatest stumbling block for me to marry into the Yin Family. I can only get rid of her!”

“Y-you’ve disappointed me too much!”

Qin Bailu continued to close her eyes and ignored him.

It didn’t matter if he was disappointed or not. He would definitely ignore her when he found out the truth.

He didn’t know the truth now, and yet he still couldn’t save her, right?

What was the difference between having and not having such a father?

“Get ready. I’ll send you to Mount West Villa in two hours!” Bai Shuangshuang said.

Qin Bailu ignored her, and the hatred in her heart intensified.

***

Mei Feng Bar, the balcony of a luxurious private room on the third floor.

“What’s the result?”

“I’ll go back and tell you in detail tonight. It’s almost as you guessed,” Yin Jiujin said.

“Alright then. Brother Nine, I’ll hang up first. You don’t have to pick me up later. I’ll go back myself. By the way, are you staying at Mount West Villa or returning to the Yin Family tonight?”

“Mount West Villa.” Their relationship had just broken through. He was still thinking about spending a few days alone with her.

“Alright, I’ll go over myself later.”

“I’ll pick you up.” His tone was firm.

Yan Jinyu smiled helplessly. “Alright, Brother Nine, come and pick me up after you’re done. I’ll wait for you at Mei Feng.”

“Alright.” Yin Jiujin was satisfied.

After hanging up, Yan Jinyu turned around and saw Huo Xuan standing not far away.

The soundproof glass door behind him had just closed. It seemed like he had just come out.

“Miss Yan, I’ll need a few minutes of your time.”

“There’s no need for a few minutes. I can answer you now.” Yan Jinyu smiled. “That’s right. It’s exactly what you think it is.”

Outside the private room, although Yan Jinyu didn’t see Min Rufeng make the move, she knew that he must have used a silver needle.

With Huo Xuan’s intelligence, it was impossible for him not to guess their identities after seeing Feng make the move.

However, he wasn’t completely sure. Or rather, he still had a sliver of hope.

With Huo Xuan’s concern for Little Rain, he definitely didn’t want Little Rain to be on Ghost Slaughter Island when she was missing for all these years. On Ghost Slaughter Island, using the phrase “on the brink of death” wasn’t even enough. The people who survived on Ghost Slaughter Island had experienced countless “on the brink of death”.

Huo Xuan was stunned on the spot.

Her heart sank.

The last bit of hope was gone.

He moved his lips but did not know what to say for a long time.

His mood was fluctuating greatly, so he couldn’t help but cough.

Holding the glass door at the side, Huo Xuan coughed so hard that he bent down, feeling like he was about to cough out his lungs.

Yan Jinyu frowned slightly.

Feng had only helped him control it shortly before this. It must be because he cared about Little Rain very much. Now, his condition had become so serious again.

She walked over and hesitated for a moment before holding onto Huo Xuan, “Are you alright, Young Master Huo? Do you want me to ask Feng to take a look at you again?”

This was one of the few times that Yan Jinyu cared about people who she didn’t care for.

It was only because Huo Xuan was the brother whom Huo Siyu cared about.

However, she didn’t realize that Huo Xuan froze the moment she held his arm.

He covered his lips with his handkerchief and coughed violently.

He only looked at Yan Jinyu after he had calmed down. He was about to say that he was fine when his gaze landed on Yan Jinyu’s neck.

There was an air conditioner in the private room. The moment she entered the private room, Yan Jinyu took off her hat and scarf. Because she was wearing a scarf, her cardigan inside wasn’t one with a high collar. After taking off the scarf, her fair neck was exposed.

However, what Huo Xuan saw was the obvious marks on her fair neck.

At that moment, his heart felt stuffy.

He quickly looked away and covered his lips to cough again. However, he pulled the arm that Yan Jinyu was holding out.

“I-I’m fine. I-I don’t have to trouble Second Young Master Min for the time being. Thank you.”

Yan Jinyu was only concerned because of Huo Siyu and Huo Xuan’s relationship. Since Huo Xuan had already said so, she naturally wouldn’t interfere.

She was not someone who likes to poke her nose into other people’s business.

She calmly placed her hands in the pockets of her down jacket.

“I know Young Master Huo must have a lot of questions. If Young Master Huo wants to know more, ask Little Rain. Since you’ve guessed it, I think Little Rain won’t hide it if you ask.”

“After all, Little Rain cares a lot about you, her brother. Or rather, she cares a lot about her family.”

[Rainy cares about her family, but what about you?]

Huo Xuan looked at her and suddenly thought of this sentence.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would have said it out loud.

She was a year younger than Rainy. After returning to the Yan Family, she was treated so harshly by her parents. She didn’t stay in the Yan Family for long before moving out. She must have felt terrible.

At the thought of this, Huo Xuan’s thoughts suddenly froze.

He was not a stupid person. On the contrary, he was very smart.

Ever since he was young, he had never interfered in anyone’s affairs other than his family. This was the first time he showed concern for someone other than his family.

Also, his reaction when he saw the marks on her neck was very abnormal.

“Thank you. I’ll find time to ask Rainy.”

He lowered his eyes and didn’t look at her. “It’s cold outside. Miss Yan, go in first. I wish to be alone for a while.”

After saying that, he walked past Yan Jinyu and walked towards the fence.

Yan Jinyu looked at his back and frowned imperceptibly. She said, “Young Master Huo’s health isn’t good. Since you know that it’s cold outside, it’s better not to stay out here for too long so that the people who care about you won’t have to worry.”

Huo Xuan stopped in his tracks but he didn’t turn back, “I know. Thank you.”

After hesitating for a second, he turned back to look at Yan Jinyu. “I hope that Eldest Miss Yan and your friends won’t let Qin Hao know about this for the time being.”

He was referring to their identities.

Now, Yan Jinyu was even more certain that Huo Xuan cared about Huo Siyu.

“Of course.”

“However, since Young Master Huo has guessed so much, I’ll mention it again. Please protect Little Rain more for a long time to come. There are too many people looking for trouble. We’re not by Little Rain’s side, so there are many things that we can’t take into consideration.”

Huo Xuan was stunned, “What do you mean by that, Miss Yan?”
