"Wang Xinyan fooled around with another man and got caught by Zhaolong!" Xiao Ben said angrily. "Don't you know that House Kang is no longer the same as before? House Kang's Kang Ming Ming, Zhaolong's brother, is the eighth elder of the ancient sect Sky Elixir! It'd be a piece of cake for him to destroy us! Hurry and ask Xinyan what's going on, bring her to Xiao family and explain everything! "
"Xinyan … No way, right?" Qinlin knew that Xinyan liked Lin Yi, but they'd talked about it before, and Xinyan said that she'd only be friends with Lin Yi. She'd marry Zhaolong after graduation, so Qinlin didn't believe it. "There's a misunderstanding, right? Xinyan isn't that kind of girl … "
"Man, I hope it's a misunderstanding too, so hurry and ask her what's going on and bring her here to explain to Zhaolong and calm him down!" Xiao Ben said. "Zhaolong recorded it with his phone, and Xinyan did walk into Lin Yi's villa!"
In actuality, Zhaolong never said anything about destroying the Xiao family. Xiao Ben didn't want to lose House Kang, so he made it up to scare Qinlin! Zhaolong only said that he wanted to cancel the engagement, but it'd be a huge loss to Xiao family. How could Xiao Ben agree to that?
"I … Okay, I'll ask Xinyan what's going on!" Qinlin replied.
Xiao Qinlin was successfully fooled. She hung up the call with Xiao Ben and dialed Wang Xinyan's number.
Xinyan had just returned to the villa after dinner, and was about to drink the medicine Lin Yi had prepared for her when her mother called. She stood up, confused, and turned to Lin Yi, Mengyao, and Yushu. "My mom's on the phone, I'll go take it."
"Okay, but don't wait too long. The medicine's going to get cold soon." Lin Yi nodded, not thinking too much about it.
Xinyan nodded and walked into the bedroom to answer the phone. "Mom."
"Xinyan, where are you?" Xiao Qinlin asked urgently.
"Ah? I'm … I'm … "Xinyan wanted to say Lin Yi's house, but didn't want to." I'm at a classmate's house … "
"Classmate? It's Lin Yi, right? "Xiao Qinlin's heart skipped a beat.
"Um … What's wrong?" Xinyan could tell that her mother's tone was off.
"Xinyan, you're really … What did you promise me? Didn't she say that she was going to marry Zhaolong after graduation? Why did he go to Lin Yi's house? You guys are living together? " Qinlin panicked at Xinyan's reply. "Did you know that Kang Zhaolong went to the Xiao family today and threatened your second uncle? He's going to destroy the Xiao family, your dad, and me!"
"Ah?" Xinyan froze as well, her face turning pale. "Kang Zhaolong … He went to the Xiao family to look for second uncle?"
"That's right!" Qinlin sighed. "Xinyan, tell mom, is there something between you and Lin Yi …"
"No, he and I are innocent, nothing happened between us!" Xinyan was starting to get scared as well, and she quickly said.
She didn't have any sense of belonging to the Xiao family, so she didn't care if the Xiao family was destroyed or not. What she was worried about was the safety of her parents, as well as Lin Yi's safety! The Sky Elixir Sect was a powerful sect, and if they sent out a Sky class late phase peak, they could destroy her and Lin Yi with a flick of their fingers …
This was what she had been worried about all this time, so she restrained herself and didn't agree to be Lin Yi's girlfriend. She didn't do anything with Lin Yi, either. Otherwise, how could Xinyan be fine sleeping with Lin Yi every day?
"Really?" Qinlin let out a breath of relief after hearing Xinyan's words.
"Yes!" Xinyan said without hesitation.
"That's good!" Qinlin was relieved. "That's good. Xinyan, I'll drive over to pick you up. Tell me the address, and we'll go to the Xiao family and explain things to Kang Zhaolong."
"There's nothing going on, why would I explain things to him? Didn't we say that we'd only get married after graduation? Why is it so troublesome? " Xinyan frowned. She felt that this Kang Zhaolong was a little despicable, using all sorts of tricks to threaten her parents.
"There's nothing we can do, House Kang is very powerful right now. We have no choice but to go," Qinlin said helplessly. "You don't want something to happen to your parents because of this misunderstanding, do you?"
"Then … Come to the entrance of the business district, I'll get ready." Xinyan nodded at her mother's words. She couldn't give Kang Zhaolong an excuse to get angry over something like this, could she?
"Alright, I'll be right there!" Qinlin said.
Xinyan sighed after hanging up. She knew that she might not be able to stay in Lin Yi's villa anymore. If she did, Kang Zhaolong wouldn't let her off easily. She really didn't want to move away.
She calmed herself down and walked out of the bedroom. Seeing that Lin Yi and the others weren't paying attention to her, Xinyan pretended to be nonchalant. "Yao Yao, Lin Yi, my mom's here. She's at the entrance of the business district. I'll be back in a bit."
"Oh, go on then. Be careful, do you need me to send you?" Lin Yi didn't think much of it.
"It's fine, it's not too late. I'll leave after drinking the medicine." Xinyan picked up the medicine on the table and drank it all in one gulp. She waved goodbye to Lin Yi and the others and quickly left the villa.
Qinlin rushed to the business district to pick up Xinyan and rushed to Xiao family's villa.
"Xinyan, why did you go to Lin Yi's house? Isn't that giving Zhaolong something to use against you? "Qinlin said helplessly as she drove.
"Mom, I'm just there as a guest …" Xinyan whispered.
"Hey, you're Zhaolong's fiancee now. Don't you know how to avoid arousing suspicion? It'd be fine if it were any other time, but Zhaolong's in your class now. You're too close to Lin Yi, he won't be happy if he sees you! " Qinlin advised. "Since you're planning to marry Zhaolong after graduation, don't make him unhappy with these details. Otherwise, you'll fight with him after marriage!"
