Chapter 13

On the day of the incident at Peileng Hotel, there were a total of 256 employees and customers, with a staggering death toll of 150 people and 18 people severely injured.

This news caused a nationwide sensation.

However, strangely enough, the focus of attention from the public was not on the perpetrator, but on another person.

Yi Qingju, expressionless, turned off her phone.

Even when watching a live-streamed eating show, there were people in the barrage mentioning Qi Weiran and even hurling insults at her.

They just wouldn't let her live in peace.

Since that day, the number of black-clad bodyguards from the Qi family noticeably increased, creating a tense atmosphere. Even Auntie Zhang spoke in a hushed voice.

The only things that didn't change were Yi Qingju, who continued to raise pigs as usual, and Qi Weiran, who had become conspicuously busy and elusive.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Just as she was about to turn off the bedside lamp and go to sleep, a piercing scream suddenly came from the adjacent room.

Yi Qingju skillfully got up and rushed out while gripping her slippers.

Auntie Zhang, along with other housemaids, lived in the small building next door. In the spacious main villa, only two people resided: Yi Qingju and Qi Xinian, who occasionally screamed in terror due to nightmares since returning.

Pushing the door open, she saw a small bundle on the child's bed. Yi Qingju walked over and pulled the child, who was almost suffocating, out.

"Qi Xinian, don't be afraid."

She held the child, who continued to scream loudly, in her arms.

Comforting the child's back, Yi Qingju ran her fingers through his soft hair dampened with cold sweat. "Good boy, it's all fake, don't be scared."

Although she had gradually forgotten about this incident through the hypnosis of a psychologist, it seemed that due to his young age, he still saw those things in his nightmares.

Under Yi Qingju's gentle comfort, the little one finally regained his senses.

Seeing that he was fine, she put him back on the bed, tucked him in, and was about to leave.

However, a small hand reached out and gently tugged at the hem of Yi Qingju's clothes.

The force was not strong, and she could easily break free with a slight movement, but she didn't do so.

Scratching her head, Yi Qingju lay down on the customized child-sized bed. She pulled Qi Xinian, who wanted to say something, into her arms and gently patted his back while yawning.

"How about I tell you a story before you go to sleep with your eyes closed?"

Upon hearing Yi Qingju's words, the child's face was filled with disdain as he said, "Who wants to listen to those bedtime stories for kids."

Although he said that, his hand reached out to hug the Ultraman plush toy without any delay.

She was prepared to give up when he didn't respond for a long time, but he agreed in the end.

It was only much later that Yi Qingju learned that this kindergarten was actually owned by Qi Weiran.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Qi Xinian looked at Yi Qingju, who was about to leave, and was about to cry. The old principal standing beside him suddenly squatted down and patted his head.

"Your mother says you are more mature than ordinary kids, and now it seems you are indeed a sensible child."

Qi Xinian immediately shut his mouth, raised his chin with a touch of pride, and corrected, "She's not my mother." Then he actively put the Ultraman backpack Yi Qingju gave him before leaving into it.

A fleeting smile appeared in the principal's eyes.

Yi Qingju, who had solved the problem of the child's education, breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoji-ji was a bit worried and said, "[Host], by putting the male lead out in the open like this, won't it be taken advantage of by the transmigrators?"

But at the same time, it was also the strongest bait to attract the transmigrators to come forward.

Of course, it didn't say this out loud.

Yi Qingju shook her head, "[That's why I asked Qi Weiran beforehand. I guess everyone in there is related to Qi Weiran, including the principal.]"

[Moreover, compared to always confining him to the Qi Family, children should communicate with their peers. Otherwise, how do you think paranoia develops? Isn't it all because of being suppressed?]"

【Besides, picking him up and dropping him off to school every day allows me to cultivate our relationship and conveniently observe suspicious individuals around him, killing two birds with one stone.】

After getting into the car, Yi Qingju said to Uncle Li, the Qi family's driver, "Uncle Li, let's go to the company."

Uncle Li was about to nod but suddenly realized something was amiss.

He hesitated and said, "Madam, have you forgotten? Sir... he doesn't allow you to come and see him."

Yi Qingju nodded. "I know. I'm not going to see him."

Uncle Li wanted to ask whom she was planning to see, but he refrained from voicing his thoughts. He merely sighed inwardly, assuming it was just an excuse for Madam to see Sir.

Sigh, the Qi family would be restless again today.

And there were quite a few others who shared the same thoughts.

The once orderly and bustling lobby fell into an eerie silence the moment Yi Qingju walked in. The visible silence spread throughout the hall where people were coming and going.

The new receptionist witnessed her elegant and dignified senior's expression change and muttered something under her breath before obediently running out.

"Madam Qi, you've arrived."
