Feng Xiangjun owned considerable personal property. That very day, she transferred her best villa to Wang Yalin's name and bought her an apartment in a high-end neighborhood near their school for her convenience.
Feng Xiangjun also hired a nanny to clean Wang Yalin's apartment and cook for her.
She personally saw Wang Yalin off, feeling deeply saddened. She believed that her adoptive mother had done an impeccable job. Despite how the Wang family treated her daughter, she hadn't held a grudge against Wang Yalin and had always thought of her well-being; she had truly done everything she could.
There's not much she can do to help in the future; both she and the Feng family are facing danger, and she can't afford to worry about anything else for the time being.
Little did she know that Wang Yalin's attitude changed drastically the moment she turned around. She didn't remember any of her good points at all, but instead thought she was incompetent, heartless, hypocritical, and pretentious.
Wang Yalin dismissed the nanny, telling Feng Xiangjun that she would have to support herself from now on and needed to learn to be more frugal to plan for the future. She also felt embarrassed to use Feng Xiangjun's money, so she decided not to hire a nanny.
Feng Xiangjun naturally felt sorry for her and gave her another sum of money without hesitation. Adding to what she had received before, Wang Yalin now had nearly ten million in savings. However, she felt no gratitude whatsoever; instead, she felt that Feng Xiangjun was treating her like a beggar!
Feng Xiangjun fell ill as soon as she returned home, but she received no sympathy from anyone; her family doctor and servants took care of her.
Xiao Qing called Xu Mengyao to report the situation at home. Xu Mengyao discussed it with Xu Zifan and said, "My brother and I will be back later. You don't need to teach me anything these next few days. Get some rest."
Xiao Qing said, "Miss, you leave early and come back late. I don't have much to do. Can I ask for three days off?"
Xu Mengyao immediately agreed, "You've been working so late every day, thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest and have some fun during your vacation, is three days enough?"
"That's enough, thank you, miss."
After Xu Mengyao hung up the phone, Xu Zifan squinted and asked, "Xiao Qing asked for leave?"
"Yeah, I took three days off. I don't know if I'm going home." Xu Mengyao didn't pay much attention; taking leave was a perfectly normal thing to do.
Xu Zifan stroked his chin and said to Shaohua, "[Locate Xiao Qing's phone and see where she's going and who she's contacting.]"
[Shaohua: Understood.]
Shortly after, a virtual screen appeared in front of Xu Zifan, displaying a map showing Xiao Qing's real-time location. He watched it for a while and discovered that Xiao Qing had stopped at Dijingyuan, right downstairs from Wang Yalin's new apartment!
Xu Zifan was somewhat surprised. So Xiao Qing's purpose in the Xu family was to serve Wang Yalin? He searched through his memories. In the original owner's life, Xiao Qing resigned after Wang Yalin left the Xu family. However, at that time, the Xu family dismissed many servants, and Xiao Qing was not conspicuous among them.
But what exactly does Xiao Qing want to do?
Xu Zifan had Shao Hua monitor Wang Yalin's phone as well. Then, he took Xu Mengyao home that night and went to Dijingyuan under the pretext of going out for a party. He entered the space not far from where Xiao Qing was hiding, so that he could see what was happening outside, but the people outside could not find him.
In the dead of night, Wang Yalin composed herself and called Qi Xiangheng. She didn't say anything, just kept crying in silence. Xu Zifan, who had Shaohua listening in, heard their conversation clearly.
Qi Xiangheng: "Yalin, what's wrong? Tell me. I'm coming to find you now, don't cry, don't cry!"
Wang Yalin: "I've already moved out. Xiang Heng... Xiang Heng, what did I do wrong?"
Qi Xiangheng immediately thought of her being kicked out of the Xu family, so he asked where she lived and sped all the way to Dijingyuan.
Xu Zifan saw Xiao Qing move. She first took a picture of Qi Xiangheng's car, then took out her phone, turned her head to make a call, and followed Qi Xiangheng.
She was wearing a baseball cap and a medical mask, and coughed occasionally, looking like a person with a cold. People who didn't know her well would definitely not recognize her.
Shao Hua was monitoring her phone, so she could see that Qi Xiangheng was always in the footage she was recording. She was pretending to make a phone call until the elevator doors closed, and she recorded that Qi Xiangheng's elevator stopped on Wang Yalin's floor.
Then she stopped recording, quickly operated an app, and her phone screen displayed footage of Wang Yalin's front door—where she had installed a hidden, remotely monitored camera!
Xiao Qing entered the stairwell, and Shao Hua scanned her and saw her hiding in the corner of the lowest floor, carefully monitoring the situation upstairs.
In the video, Qi Xiangheng looked anxious, repeatedly ringing the doorbell and calling Wang Yalin's name. Wang Yalin opened the door and burst into tears as soon as she saw him. Qi Xiangheng hugged her tenderly, and Wang Yalin nestled in his arms, sobbing, "Xiangheng! Only you are still willing to see me!"
The two lingered at the door for a moment, and the camera captured their faces. They then went inside, while Xiao Qing remained hidden there, seemingly waiting for someone to come out.
This feels like catching someone cheating! Xu Zifan went through his memories again but couldn't find any connection between Xiao Qing and Qi Xiangheng. Anyway, he had nothing else to do, and with food, drink, and a soft bed in his space, he decided to just wait for Xiao Qing and see what she was up to.
Inside the house, Wang Yalin cried her heart out, and only after Qi Xiangheng repeatedly pressed her for details did she tell him the truth about what happened back then, that she had been kicked out out of spite.
Shocked, Qi Xiangheng blamed Xu Zifan. What was Xu Zifan's intention in sending Wang Yalin back to the Wang family? Did he really want to drive Wang Yalin to her death?
Qi Xiangheng held Wang Yalin tightly, comforting her with heartache, wishing he could take her place. They talked for a long time, and Wang YaLin's voice gradually faded, and she fell asleep in his arms, her face still streaked with tears.
Qi Xiangheng was stunned for a moment, then gently carried her to the bed. When he got up, he found that Wang Yalin was tightly clutching his clothes.
This was a sign of insecurity. What had his girl gone through? He had wanted to call and question Xu Zifan, but seeing this, he could only carefully lie down next to Wang Yalin, like a guardian.
Although they didn't do anything, on such a night, the lonely man and woman confided their secrets and shared a bed, bringing them as close as possible to each other.
Qi Xiangheng gazed quietly at Wang Yalin, feeling that he was her last hope. A mix of heartache and joy welled up within him, and he slowly drifted off to sleep beside his beloved.
Once his breathing had calmed down, Wang Yalin quietly opened her eyes, revealing a smug smile. She shifted slightly, moving closer to Qi Xiangheng, and placed his hand on her chest.
It's worthless to be eager for someone; she only confided in her best friend when she was helpless. It was Qi Xiangheng who took the initiative to lie down on her bed after she fell asleep and even touched her. Based on her understanding of Qi Xiangheng, she knew he would definitely feel ashamed, take responsibility, and confess his feelings to pursue her. Didn't he already have a crush on her?
No one knew what was happening inside the house; Xiao Qing'an's surveillance footage showed that Qi Xiangheng hadn't come out.
At 3 a.m., Xu Zifan discovered that Xiao Qing had transferred the video to another phone and sent it out using that phone.
Shao Hua quickly tracked them down and discovered that the recipients were Qi Xiangheng's parents and grandparents!
Xiao Qing then made harassing phone calls to the four of them and sent them text messages asking them to check their emails. Afterwards, she took out the SIM card and broke it in half.
Xu Zifan felt that Wang Yalin was likely plotting against Qi Xiangheng. Qi Xiangheng wouldn't listen to advice, but he was still the original owner's brother. If the Qi family could control him and prevent him from getting entangled with Wang Yalin, it would be a good thing.
So he had Shao Hua hack into the four people's phones, play the emails directly, and block Qi Xiangheng's phone signal. This was the last time he helped Qi Xiangheng stay away from trouble, and it was also a way of helping Xiao Qing.
However, he still didn't understand what Xiao Qing was doing; this was clearly a move to break up a loving couple.
He analyzed Xiao Qing's motives while keeping an eye on the Qi family's movements. Xiao Qing, meanwhile, continued watching the surveillance footage, seemingly intending to film until the people inside came out.
The Qi family was awakened by the noise. After watching the video, they all got up and gathered solemnly in the study. Qi's mother called Qi Xiangheng, but the phone was constantly out of service. She grew increasingly anxious, "Who recorded this and sent it to us? What does he want?"
Grandpa Qi said in a deep voice, "No matter what he wants to do, we should find Xiang Heng first."
Father Qi stood up and said, "I'll go find it myself."
Grandpa Qi instructed, "This person deliberately sent us the video. We don't know what his purpose is, or whether it will harm Xiang Heng. Take more people with you and be careful."
After Mr. Qi left, Mrs. Qi looked at the video and asked in confusion, "Is this girl the original daughter of the Xu family? What happened to her?"
"It's Yalin. The Xu family hasn't sent any news, but it seems they dote on the girl they found more," Mother Qi frowned. "Xiang Heng has always liked her. They were a good match before, but now it's not. I'll talk to Xiang Heng about it later."
"Hmm, calling Xiang Heng to her place in the middle of the night and not coming out until 3 a.m. is not the behavior of a good girl. Keep an eye on Xiang Heng." Old Mrs. Qi said coldly, clearly disliking Wang Yalin.
As Mr. Qi led his men into the Imperial Garden, Xiao Qing hurriedly ran up the stairs, pressing the elevator button on each floor so that Mr. Qi and the others could wait for the elevator downstairs.
She rushed breathlessly to Wang Yalin's floor, used a spare key she had secretly made to open the door a crack, removed the hidden camera, and quickly went downstairs. Only after Qi's father entered the elevator did Xiao Qing emerge from the stairwell and walk out naturally.
They seem quite concerned about safety, though, without looking into what will happen next.
With the cameras gone, Xu Zifan had no idea what was happening upstairs. He was much more interested in Xiao Qing than the people upstairs, so he simply came out of his spatial dimension and followed Xiao Qing at a distance.
There weren't many people around the school at night. Xiao Qing quickly noticed someone following her. If she walked slowly, the person behind her would walk slowly; if she walked quickly, the person behind her would walk quickly. This could only mean either a thug or someone from the Qi family, and she immediately became nervous.
After turning a corner, she hid by the wall, took out pepper spray from her bag, and prepared to spray the man as soon as he appeared.
Xu Zifan paused, somewhat helpless, upon seeing the image scanned by Shao Hua. He still needed to find an opportunity to practice his skills. Being discovered while tracking someone was a mistake; he should have called Shao Hua to scan him from 500 meters away.
This is also because he felt that Xiao Qing was harmless to him, so when he really faced an enemy, he was naturally extremely cautious.
He didn't bother to hide when he was discovered. He stopped a few steps away from Xiao Qing and said, "Come out. You had a very exciting holiday, didn't you?"
Xiao Qing froze, her eyes widening in the darkness.
It turned out that it was the young master of the Xu family who discovered her; this is troublesome!
Xu Zifan waited a moment, then tilted his head and chuckled, "Aren't you coming out? Are you waiting for me to come and get you, little maid?"
