As soon as Nie Yunfan finished what he thought was an imposing declaration, the atmosphere inside the house turned extremely strange.
In that situation, An Yue could not help but lower her head and cover her face. She could not bear to watch this anymore and reasoned to herself. ‘I must have walked into a black cat today. An Qi and Big Brother Nie are behaving abnormally. I must have slept too late last night, and that’s why I’m hallucinating!’
The corners of An Qi’s lips unwittingly twitched. Her wordless expression was akin to asking, ‘Bro, are you really that thick-skinned?’
After a few seconds of dead silence, An Qi felt helpless and said, “If you want, you can just stay here. Yue Yue and I are going out to handle some business today. Mr. Nie, please assist us in keeping an eye on our house. Thank you very much.”
After he heard An Qi’s words, the smile on Nie Yunfan’s face turned stiff once again, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
By the time he snapped out of his daze, An Qi had already pulled An Yue along and was ready to leave the house.
“Eh, wait a minute! Wait! Wait! I’m going with you as well! I’m waiting for my target and using the two of you as bait here! What’s the point of watching over an empty house? After all, Chen would come to look for An Yue instead of the house. Would you walk a little slower, please? Don’t be so dismissive of me. At the very least, I’m a man. If you buy something, I could help you carry them. I am free labor for you. Isn’t it a waste if you don’t use me? Eh, I told you not to walk so fast!”
As Nie Yunfan’s yelled and prattled on, the two sisters walked out in resignation.
The two sisters may have forgotten to bring their good luck charms before they went out, or the appearance of Nie Yunfan today brought bad luck to the two sisters.
As they walked out of their neighborhood’s main entrance, a figure quickly dashed over to them. When they saw the figure, they knew that it was impossible for them to go shopping today!
When the three went out, An Qi and An Yue walked in front. Nie Yunfan naturally walked behind them.
Therefore, when the black-clad figure with a cap so low her face could not be seen clearly rushed over to them, they were unable to react in time.
It was not until the figure got closer and the person suddenly took out a small knife she had hidden in her sleeve when they realized what was going on. An Qi was the first to snap out of her trance. She extended her hand in front of An Yue’s body to shield her. She had pushed aside the dagger aimed at An Yue’s heart in the nick of time but ended up… injuring herself.
Blood slowly trickled down An Qi’s arm, creating a bewitching flower of blood on the ground.
“An Qi!” When An Yue saw the blood, she had her eyes fly wide open, and she cried out in shock.
Nie Yunfan snapped out of his daze upon hearing her scream. He quickly rushed forward and pushed the person who had committed the crime to the side. He took out a clean handkerchief from his shirt pocket in a flurry of motion and helped An Qi stop the bleeding.
Panicked, Nie Yunfan did not care how much force he used. He pushed the person with all his might, and the person fell on her butt.
She lost her balance in the crash. When she fell down, the cap on her head fell to the ground, revealing her true face.
“It’s you!” When An Yue saw the person’s face clearly, she exclaimed in shock.
The person who fell on the ground was none other than… Xie Yuqing, who had mocked An Yue at Duan Yarong’s birthday banquet in the past.
When they heard her scream, An Qi and Nie Yunfan were stunned. They did not make it for Duan Yarong’s birthday banquet due to an accident, so they naturally did not know the person in front of them.
“Yue Yue, do you know her?” An Qi looked pale due to blood loss. But she looked relieved at having survived the aftermath.
If she remembered correctly, this person had intended to murder An Yue when she had rushed over while aiming at her chest!
When An Yue heard their conversation, she hesitated for a moment before she decided to give them a brief explanation of what had occurred at Duan Yarong’s birthday banquet.
After they heard An Yue’s description, the two people on the spot, especially Nie Yunfan, understood what was going on.
He thought to himself. ‘I never expected someone to fall for a man with such a cold appearance!’
However, this was not the main point. The point was that it was already outrageous enough for this woman to fall for a married man, but she went a step beyond that and attempted murder in public!
While An Yue and the rest of her group were talking, Xie Yuqing had already climbed up from the ground. The dagger in her hand had been flung to the side during the clash. Her hands were stained with blood, and her face was contorted into a savage expression. She was frightening to behold.
After she heard An Yue’s explanation, Xie Yuqing looked like she had been triggered. Her expression grew increasingly dark. Her eyes were filled with malice and wickedness as she glared at the two sisters. “It’s you, right? You must have been the one who made Young Master Zhao file a report against my father, causing us to go bankrupt. You must be overjoyed right now, right? Bitch, how can you be so evil?!”
Ever since Xie Yuqing rushed over to Zhao Enterprise in a rage and caused a fuss over there, and even pushed Su He down to the ground, the Xie family was plunged into a miserable state.
First, the Xie family’s company had been reported for tax evasion, and the amount was huge. As the company’s person-in-charge, Xie Yuqing was detained on the spot. Later, Xie Yuqing’s uncle, who was a pivotal figure on the company’s board of directors, not only failed to find a way to save the day, but instead absconded with the donations just as the Xie family’s company suffered a massive blow.
The Xie company had been hit hard, and this only made the situation even worse. In just a week’s time, the company was declared bankrupt.
Following that, the Xie family was saddled with massive debts. As a result, Xie Yuqing and her mother were forced to move out of their villa and ended up on the streets, where they were harassed by creditors on a daily basis. They suffered miserably.
The road to destruction of the Xie family was so fast that Xie Yuqing suspected they had been targeted. As she pondered it over, she remembered the Zhao family and An Yue.
Xie Yuqing had considered searching for Zhao Youlin. However, ever since that incident, Xie Yuqing had been barred from entering Zhao Enterprise. Xie Yuqing was unable to enter Zhao Enterprise, so she had to settle for the next best option. She, in turn, sought vengeance on An Yue.
An Yue’s face turned white upon hearing Xie Yuqing’s cussing.
An Qi furrowed her eyebrows. She had already pulled out her hand after Nie Yunfan had finished bandaging it. She then walked a step forward and snorted, “Hey, fugly, speak politely. What exactly do you mean by evil? We don’t call a woman who persistently bothers a man with a girlfriend evil; we call her a shameless woman. The man you kept bothering ignored you, and you, in turn, sat like a mouse outside his girlfriend’s door to attempt murdering her. This is pure evil..”
