…
The phone rang. Liang Feifan picked up the call again. On the other end of the line, Liang Jingxiao called out to her in a surprised and nervous voice, "… Brother, why are you calling me? Did you speak? "
"Jingxiao, where are you?"
Liang Feifan didn't have time to beat around the bush. She went straight to the point and said, "Are you still in City C? I'm in City C right now. Tell me where you're staying and I'll come over to look for you now. "
"…"
Liang Jingxiao was indeed in City C. She was in a hotel room right now. Because the plane ticket was for tomorrow morning, she had planned to stay for one more day before going back. The main reason was that when she left City A, she had told Xiang Longjin that she was going out for two days, so she had calculated the time.
She had thought that she would come to City C secretly, but she didn't expect Liang Feifan to know everything.
Thinking about how she had just looked for Bai Lu, and how her brother had immediately come to look for her, Liang Jingxiao felt a little upset. She had only met Bai Lu once, but she hadn't taken advantage of him at all. Did Bai Lu have to do this? Why did he complain to her brother so quickly?
"… Brother, I'm in City C. How did you know?"
Liang Feifan frowned and said in an exceptionally calm voice, "Where are you? I'll come and see you now."
Liang Jingxiao thought to herself, 'I haven't done anything wrong.' Why was she afraid of being seen? So what if she came to City C to look for Bai Lu? She really hadn't done anything wrong. Did she need to be so delicate? Did she have to make such a big fuss just to meet her? If she really married into Family Liang's family in the future, wouldn't she be giving her attitude every day?
"I'm at XX Hotel."
Liang Jingxiao said the name and room number of the hotel and said, "… Brother, I've met Bai Lu. If you're looking for me because of this, I …"
"We'll talk when we meet."
Liang Feifan hung up without waiting for the person on the other end to say anything. Before he left, he went back to the ward and looked at Bai Lu, who was still talking about sleeping. He ordered someone to guard the door of the ward before he left.
Liang Jingxiao waited in the hotel for less than 30 minutes before she heard the doorbell ring.
She knew very well that it was Liang Feifan who had come. In the end, she still felt a little guilty. Xiang Longjin didn't know that she had come to C City. In fact, she didn't know why she had come all the way to C City to find Bai Lu. After finding her, she couldn't say anything. Her heart was full of resentment, but when she really saw her, there were always other feelings in her heart.
A year ago, she had stolen her man, framed her, and set her up to drive her out of EC. At that time, she had never known fear, let alone being soft-hearted. But now, she realized that she was weak.
The aggressive person should have been her, Liang Jingxiao. However, when they were in the car earlier, she had been the one to ride on her head and couldn't say anything in rebuttal.
She was clearly the one who had been wronged. Now, her brother had come looking for her. Just based on his conversation with her earlier. From the tone of his voice, she felt that Liang Feifan was definitely here to denounce Bai Lu.
She had underestimated Bai Lu. With the passage of time, she had learned how to be spoiled and arrogant. She knew that her brother doted on her. She hadn't done anything to her yet, but she had already learned how to complain.
Liang Jingxiao thought about it. She hadn't done anything overboard. If Liang Feifan had really scolded her, she would have retorted.
With that thought, she stepped forward to open the door. As expected, a tall man stood outside the door. His eyes were deep and his exquisite features were cold.
"… Big Brother."
Liang Jingxiao let Liang Feifan into the room. She closed the door. Liang Feifan immediately unbuttoned his suit and walked to the sofa in the room. He sat down. After a moment, he looked up. "Sit down and talk to me."
"Big Brother, just tell me directly. How long has it been since you last saw me alone like this? You knew that I was in C City today and that I looked for Bai Lu. So, you're here to denounce me on her behalf, right? "
Liang Jingxiao pursed her lips. She felt that she hadn't done anything or said anything overboard. If she were to tremble in fear like this, she would be very cowardly. She decided to muster up her courage and said loudly, "… Big Brother, I did see Bai Lu, but I didn't say anything overboard to her. I didn't know that she told you about it and that you'd make such a big fuss over it. You even came looking for me … Anyway, I have a clear conscience!"
"A clear conscience?"
Liang Feifan raised his eyebrows. The man's voice was very calm, but that pair of sharp eyes contained a sharpness that made people not dare to look directly at them. "Is it true that you have a clear conscience? Jingxiao, turn around and count. How many chances have I given you? "
Liang Jingxiao was speechless.
Liang Feifan narrowed his eyes slightly. The next second, his tall body suddenly stood up from the sofa. Almost instantly, he reached out his hand and strangled Liang Jingxiao's neck. Liang Jingxiao's entire body trembled at his sinister look. She stumbled back two steps and fell onto the sofa. Her breath was stuck in her throat and she couldn't breathe. Her exquisitely made-up face was filled with panic and disbelief. She waved her hands instinctively, trying to push Liang Feifan away. However, the difference in strength between a man and a woman made her struggle futile.
"… Big Brother, what are you doing? Let go … Let go of me … I can't … I can't breathe … "
"Bai Lu was splashed with red paint. Two people were arrested and they both said that you ordered them to do it." Liang Feifan increased the strength of his grip. He probably expected better from his younger sister. Family Liang's people had all hurt Bai Lu. Even he had hurt Bai Lu, so at this moment, he couldn't control himself and wanted to vent his anger.
"Jingxiao, you should really be glad that you're part of Family Liang. If you weren't, I wouldn't care if you were a woman or not. You'll still have to pay the price for hurting the woman I love. Isn't it good to be a rich missy? What are you missing? The man you want has already returned to your side. Why do you still want to cause so much trouble? Do you know that Bai Lu is already pregnant? You're lucky that nothing happened to her or the child in her stomach. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would have done! "
"…"
"Jingxiao, I'm telling you one last time. You're my younger sister. I don't want to hurt Family Liang, but don't force me anymore. This is the last time. I'm telling you this seriously. Listen carefully — this is the last time. You'll stay in Family Liang peacefully, but don't try anything funny. If anything happens to Bai Lu again, I won't let you off."
"… Big Brother, what do you mean? Your Bai Lu is a treasure. No one can touch her! Okay, I admit that I did hurt her and schemed against her a year ago. But this time, I dare to swear to God that I didn't do anything to hurt her! "
Liang Jingxiao's whole body trembled as she spoke. Her eyes were scarlet and tears fell down her cheeks. She wiped them with the back of her hand and continued to defend herself. "… I came to C City secretly with selfish motives, but is Bai Lu a pushover? Does she let me do whatever I want to her? I hadn't even finished talking when she started to ramble on, making me speechless. I just asked the driver to take her to the hospital and then left. What did she mean by 'splashing paint'? It had nothing to do with me! No matter how much you treasure her, I'm still your younger sister. Are you really that heartless? "
"If I were really heartless, I wouldn't be standing here saying these words to you right now. I would've found someone else to make you feel the same way."
Liang Feifan was not a cold-blooded person. He valued family ties. He was well aware of Liang Jingxiao's petty actions in the past, but he had always chosen to turn a blind eye to them. Whether it was directly or indirectly, the damage caused to Bai Lu by Family Liang was still a barrier in his heart. He was indeed a little emotional just now. As soon as he thought about how he could lose the child that he had painstakingly obtained, he couldn't control his emotions.
Liang Feifan reached out and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He didn't want to stay any longer. "I don't want to talk about this anymore. Whether you did it or not, you have to remember what I said just now. Don't harbor any evil intentions towards Bai Lu. She will definitely be your sister-in-law."
"…"
"Big Brother, I really didn't …"
Liang Jingxiao still wanted to explain, but Liang Feifan's phone happened to ring at the entrance. Both of them were stunned. Liang Feifan took out his phone first and glanced at the caller ID. He didn't avoid the call. Instead, he picked it up and unlocked it with one hand. The moment he opened the door, he heard the sound of electricity. On the other end of the line was a flustered male voice. He didn't know what the male voice was saying to him, but Liang Feifan's expression changed drastically. His eyes, which had just suppressed the storm, once again shot a fierce glare at Liang Jingxiao.
Liang Jingxiao instinctively shrunk her neck. She didn't understand what was going on.
Liang Feifan hung up the phone. He pursed his thin lips tightly. "… I only have one question for you. Did you find someone to lure Bai Lu away and then take her away?"
"…"
Liang Jingxiao's eyes revealed a hint of confusion. She looked like she couldn't quite react. Liang Feifan had watched his younger sister grow up. Before the incident with Bai Lu, he actually didn't have much complaints about Liang Jingxiao. After all, she was a rich young lady who grew up in a wealthy family like Tie Men. She was unruly, willful, and extravagant. Everything seemed to be the privilege of a rich young lady, so he never thought there was anything wrong with it.
However, after meeting Bai Lu, he gradually came to appreciate Bai Lu's simple temperament. As a result, he was even more disappointed and heartbroken by Liang Jingxiao's behavior.
But no matter what, he always knew that if his younger sister had really done something, she wouldn't have such an expression.
Liang Feifan's sharp brows gradually furrowed. His mind whirled twice as though he realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
