"You can leave." After a long while, Xiao Yunyi finally spoke. "I'll give you two days of rest. There's still more things that need to be done."
Lu Zihao left with his head lowered.
The study room was completely silent. Xiao Yunyi hid himself in the darkness as his pitch-black pupils shot out biting cold lights like sharp swords.
The light only appeared for an instant before vanishing. The study room returned to its previous tranquility. After sitting for a while, Xiao Yunyi left.
"Big Brother Xiao."
As soon as Xiao Yunyi stepped out of the door, he met Mu Yaran.
The other party wore a light blue dress like a slender and elegant lotus. The gentle and innocent smile on her face made her look simple and unscheming. However, Xiao Yunyi knew that before him was a black lotus with white skin.
He turned a deaf ear to Mu Yaran's words as he walked down the stairs.
Xiao Yunyi's negligence made Mu Yaran a little embarrassed, but thinking about her own plan, she followed him again.
"Big Brother Xiao." Mu Yaran's voice was soft and tender as she grumbled, "You haven't come back for a long time, I'm really worried about you." I asked Housekeeper Xiao but she didn't say anything.
"Qiao Lin is my most trusted housekeeper. Naturally, she is working for me." When Xiao Yunyi heard the displeasure in Mu Yaran's tone towards Qiao Lin, he immediately refuted her. After thinking for a moment, he decided to test her again, "I've been taking care of Lan Xi at the hospital all this time. Why? Don't you know? "
"What?" Mu Yaran exclaimed, covering her mouth as she took a step back with a surprised expression. "Taking care of Miss Lan in the hospital? What's wrong? What happened to her? "
Xiao Yunyi laughed coldly, his tone filled with ridicule, "What happened to Lan Xi, do you not know? When I rushed out of the villa with her in my arms, everyone saw it. With your ability, how could you not know? "
"I really don't know." Mu Yaran felt wronged. "It's not like you didn't know that I was feeling unwell that day. I went back to rest before I finished eating, so I didn't see anything happen to Miss Lan."
"Is that so?" Xiao Yunyi retorted, "Did you forget that after you made Qiao Lin specially eat dinner, you came to your room to deliver medicine to you?"
Hearing Xiao Yunyi's words, Mu Yaran's face paled and quickly returned back to normal, pretending to be calm. "Really? "I don't remember much about that. I was feeling a little dizzy after taking the medicine the other day. It's all thanks to Butler Qiao who took care of me in my room for a while."
As Mu Yaran spoke, her expression returned to normal and her heart had already calmed down.
Xiao Yunyi would definitely not find out that she had done this secret. As long as he persisted and said that he didn't know, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Xiao Yunyi was about to say something else when she immediately interrupted him and asked in a concerned tone, "Brother Xiao, you said that Miss Lan is currently in the hospital? Which hospital is she currently in? I want to see her. "
If Xiao Yunyi hadn't thoroughly investigated this matter, he would have been fooled by Mu Yaran's innocent look. Perhaps he would have let her go and let her see Lan Xi and give her a second chance to kill him.
"No need." Xiao Yunyi rejected her without the slightest hesitation and spoke without holding back, "I'm afraid that something might happen to her again."
Mu Yaran could not maintain her expression any longer. Clenching her fists, she couldn't help but shout at him, "What are you trying to say?"
Xiao Yunyi walked closer to Mu Yaran, who tensed up and couldn't help but take a step back. Afterwards, she was caught off guard and he grabbed her neck.
Ah!" Mu Yaran's face quickly turned red as she struggled to slap Xiao Yunyi's hand, "You …" Separate... Show Me... Open... "Ugh …
Xiao Yunyi's eyes were cold and stern as he watched Mu Yaran struggling with all her might, yet being unable to break free from the malevolence in her face. He finally felt a sense of vexation in his heart.
Gently releasing her hands, Mu Yaran collapsed onto the ground.
She covered her throat with one hand and couldn't help but shiver with the other. Her long hair covered her eyes and Xiao Yunyi couldn't see her expression.
In the next second, Xiao Yun grabbed her long hair and forced Mu Yaran to raise her head. Her tone was still the same as before, but it had become Mu Yaran's greatest fear. "Do you really think that I can't find out what you've done? Fish soup, bowl and handkerchief. If you want to harm anyone, you should make it more thorough. Do not leave any traces behind. Any trace would turn into a sharp blade that will devour you. "
As Xiao Yunyi listed out the things that she was using, Mu Yuran knew that Xiao Yunyi knew everything.
She ignored the fact that she was limp and crawled over to hug Xiao Yunyi's leg. With a hoarse voice, she said, "Big Brother Xiao, I … I just love you too much. I just want you to look at me. "Before Lan Xi appeared, we were very good. Our relationship wasn't like now, it was all her. She changed your mind."
Xiao Yunyi didn't say anything as he quietly watched Mu Yaran go hysterical in front of him.
When she didn't have the strength to stop, he gave her an answer, and that was the last straw that broke her back.
He said, "I've never had a heart for you. "Also, if you continue to act against Lan Xi, don't blame me for being impolite. You asked for it."
As if he didn't want to see her again, Xiao Yunyi left as soon as he finished speaking. Mu Yaran could faintly hear him saying to the driver, "To the hospital."
"Lan Xi, I hate you. You and I are irreconcilable!" Mu Yaran could no longer hold it in anymore and shouted.
Although she felt as though her throat was about to be torn apart, Mu Yaran ignored it. She wanted to remember today's pain.
Her plan did not succeed this time, but there was still a next time. She swore to let Lan Xi experience her pain today, even more than her own.
Looking outside the door, Mu Yaran's eyes were filled with hatred. She knew that she wouldn't be able to deal with Lan Xi on her own. After all, Xiao Yunyi was so protective of her.
After Xiao Yunyi left for a long time, someone came to help Mu Yaran up.
"Miss Mu, are you alright?"
The maid that sent a text message to Mu Yuran asked timidly. Seeing her opponent's soft and tender face and her timid appearance, Mu Yaran was so furious that she wanted to slap him, but a pair of powerful hands grabbed onto her.
Miss Mu, the boss said that if you want to teach a servant a lesson, then please go back to your own home. The Xiao family is not a place for you to make a move." Lu Zihao let go of Mu Yaran's hand and turned to speak to the maid, "You've been fired. The Xiao family does not need a servant or mistress like you.
Ignoring Mu Yaran's flaming eyes and the maid's pleas, Lu Zi Hao read a few more names, all of them working for Mu Yaran, and then dismissed them one by one.
"No need to waste any more words, you can leave now."
