Chapter 21

Women are always so stupid! Is their brain just a
place to house their hair, facial features, and cosmetics? Xiao Sen was both amused and annoyed. After holding back for a long time, he managed to muster a gentle attitude and replied,
"Where else could she go? Of course, she's going to find Liu Xin."

Xiao Sen's confident explanation made Ling Chen both laugh and cry. "But... Liu Xin didn't see her either."

"Hmm? How do you know? Did you call him again?"

Ling Chen's face tightened. He glanced at Xiao Sen's expression, but didn't find anything unusual. He then answered in a low voice,
"He called, about ten minutes ago."

Where could this girl have gone? Xiao Sen couldn't help but wonder. "When did she go out?"

"I'm not really sure. I found out she wasn't there at eleven o'clock. She probably slipped
out while I was taking a shower, around ten-thirty."

It's been more than an hour. Even if she took a minibus, she should have arrived by now. Xiao Sen glanced at the wall clock, pondered for a moment,
and then asked, "When did Liu Xin go back?"

"Around ten. He left shortly after answering your call."

Remembering that strange phone call, Ling Chen couldn't help but glance at Xiao Sen a few more times. What did he say to Liu Xin?
Was he deliberately creating obstacles to get that position again?

"Is that so?"

Xiao Sen replied casually, but his doubts grew stronger.
What was Liu Xin up to? Why didn't he take advantage of Xiao Xue and leave so quickly? "Did he go straight
home ?"

"Probably."

"That's strange."

Xiao Sen slowly pulled out a cigarette and held it in his hand. Xiao Xue was not the kind of person to back down or give up halfway.
Even if with Liu Xin, she would definitely find a way to explain herself. Unless… she encountered an insurmountable difficulty.
What difficulty? Did she catch Liu Xin with another woman? Which woman? Zhen Yan?
Unlikely ; Xu Hui? Very likely; or someone else? "That little brat has made me clean up his mess again!"
Seeing Xiao Sen remain silent for a while, Ling Chen couldn't suppress his questions any longer and finally stammered
, "Old Xiao? Are you... are you using Xiao Xue as leverage to ask Liu Xin for that position again? Don't
push too hard. Our daughter's future happiness is more important; that position... is fine without it."

"What are you thinking?"

Xiao Sen smiled smugly and added. "He's already agreed, why should I pressure them!"

Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly steadied himself by holding onto the sofa. "He... agreed?
When ?"

"In that phone call, very good treatment. I was just planning to celebrate with you. Hehe... if I'd
known having a father-in-law was so effective, I would have had more daughters."

Didn't Liu Xin promise to stop Xiao Sen? The more Ling Chen thought about it, the more panicked he became, wishing he could
call to find out. "You...he really agreed? You didn't hear me wrong?"

"How could I possibly mishear something like this?"

Xiao Sen replied irritably, then, noticing Ling Chen's strange expression, quickly added a reassuring word. "Don't worry,
I won't invite Luo Han over."

Knowing that Xiao Sen might see through his lie if he wasn't careful, Ling Chen took a few deep breaths and asked,
"Then why did Liu Xin leave so quickly? He ignored Xiao Xue's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay. As a result, he
angered Xiao Xue so much."

"Maybe he just had something else to do. He's always been a very busy person, you know that.
If Xiao Xue hadn't disappeared, he might not be at home right now."

Mentioning Xiao Xue again, Ling Chen immediately forgot his troubles. "Where did this child go?
Lao Xiao, can you ask some friends to look for her? What if..."

"Don't think too much. I know my daughter. She's not a child anymore. She always takes
taxis . Nothing will happen to her. She'll probably be back soon. It's the middle of the night, and she's only
been missing for a little over an hour. It's not really missing. There's no need to bother others."

Ling Chen looked at Xiao Sen and saw that he seemed genuinely confident, so he didn't say anything more. "Then let's wait
another hour."

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first."

Watching Xiao Sen get up and go upstairs, Ling Chen walked over and sat on the sofa.

Could it be that Liu Xin was just being polite and pretended to agree first, then would find another excuse to refuse Xiao Sen later? Ling
Chen thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He couldn't actually call him to ask, so he could only shake his head helplessly and
try to focus his eyes on the TV screen.

He pressed the remote control for a long time but still couldn't find the program he wanted to watch. Perhaps she didn't even know
what she wanted to see; she
just .

The announcer suddenly read out the news of an approaching typhoon.

The wind outside immediately picked up, rattling the windows.

Ling Chen listened carefully and learned that the typhoon wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, which reassured him considerably. Thinking that the school might not be
open tomorrow, he could finally have a good talk with Xiao Xue, and even felt a little happy. Xiao Xue actually liked typhoons.
He should ask Xiao Sen to buy some H?agen-Dazs first thing tomorrow morning. This child was really quite strange. It might have been easier to tolerate when they were
just like , but after they became lovers, and with things escalating, even Liu Xin, with
far more patience than most, probably wouldn't be able to endure it for long. How could he persuade Xiao Xue to tone it down?

Just as he was pondering these questions, the light sound of keys outside the door startled Ling Chen from the sofa
.

Xiao Xue quietly opened the door. Seeing the living room lit up, she knew she couldn't hide it from her mother, which made her
feel a little more at ease. She sighed quietly and pushed the door open to enter the living room.

Before Xiao Xue could even stand still, Ling Chen couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go?"

Xiao Xue paused, looked at Ling Chen, then at the television, and tried to answer in a nonchalant tone, "Nowhere
. Just took a walk alone on the street."

"Really? Your father and Liu Xin both know. Even if you can fool me, you can't fool the two of them."

This is troublesome. She wondered how the old man would punish her again. Thinking this, Xiao Xue's tone involuntarily...
She was getting anxious. "Why...why did you tell Dad?"

"In the dead of night, you suddenly disappeared without a word. Did you expect me to help you keep it from him?
I'm your mother, not your accomplice."

Ling Chen said sharply, then suddenly realized her attitude had gone too far, but couldn't think of
any way to make amends, feeling increasingly regretful and guilty. What was wrong with her? She should be relieved, happy, and comforting
her, so why did she get angry?

When did her mother become like this? Xiao Xue gritted her teeth, steadied herself, and turned to walk towards the stairwell. Halfway
up , she suddenly turned back and said, "You said that? Then please don't try to pry into my heart again.
I won't say anything to you anymore. Otherwise, you might accidentally become my accomplice."

Ling Chen then noticed Xiao Xue's pale face and unsteady steps. His heart softened immediately, and he
quickly , speaking softly, "Xiao Xue, I'm sorry. Mom was just waiting impatiently, not trying to scold you."

Xiao Xue hesitated, knowing that if she stopped, she would surely cry uncontrollably in her mother's arms all night long.
She could only continue to mask her sorrow with coldness, saying in a hard voice, "No need to apologize. I didn't say you scolded me."

With that, she grabbed the handrail, preparing to go upstairs. Unexpectedly, Xiao Sen was standing there smiling, his hands
in his pajama pockets, seemingly about to pull out some strange means to deal with her.

Xiao Xue struggled to steady herself, calmed her breathing, and stared at her father. "

Does this girl really dare to stand up to me? No wonder she's from the Xiao family." Thinking this, Xiao Sen also
put on a cold expression, confronting Xiao Xue for a while. Seeing her slightly unsteady posture, he smiled and
said, "It's late, go back to your room and sleep."

Xiao Xue and Ling Chen were both startled. Xiao Xue looked back at her mother, then back at her father, and after a long while,
finally lowered her head, rushed back to her room, and locked the door.

Xiao Sen smiled smugly at Ling Chen downstairs, then turned and went back to his bedroom.

Was he too happy to be angry, or was he deliberately appeasing Xiao Xue to please Liu Xin? Perhaps both.
Ling Chen shook his head with a wry smile, walked back to the living room, stood there for a while, and quickly found an excuse to pick up
the phone and dial Liu Xin's number.

Knowing Xiaoxue had gone home, Liu Xin wanted to appear happy, but couldn't muster any
emotion . He could only ask casually, "How is she? Is she alright?"

"No. But she seems to be in a bad mood,"

Ling Chen replied worriedly, not noticing Liu Xin's attitude.

She must have seen him and Xu Hui, Liu Xin thought. When Xu Hui called him from downstairs, he looked
around for a long time but couldn't find anything suspicious. He was convinced Xiaoxue was nearby,
coldly watching him from the darkness, like a predator eyeing its prey. He hated this feeling, especially being
secretly watched by a woman. So, although he didn't dare invite Xu Hui to stay at his place, he
quickly abandoned his search for Xiaoxue shortly after Zhen Yan left and went upstairs.

Do women never understand the meaning of "trust," even a young girl like Xiaoxue?
Is it because they lie so much that they always unconsciously doubt the truth? Is it
truly impossible for purity and maturity to coexist in one woman? Was her far-fetched "cultivation" plan ultimately
nothing but a fantasy? ... The more Liu Xin thought about it, the more disappointed she became, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's alright, isn't it? It'll probably be fine
in a couple of days ."

Ling Chen then sensed Liu Xin's indifference and didn't know what to say. These past few days, she had
been wholeheartedly blessing and encouraging him and Xiaoxue, but every time she saw any new progress they made, she
couldn't help but feel a little sad. She couldn't control this sadness, nor could she eliminate it; she could only let it
slowly entwine in her heart, gradually hardening into a lump. Perhaps, before long, it would become a tumor
, a virus, completely devouring her soul, even her life. Her only hope was that Liu Xin and Xiaoxue could
confirm their relationship as soon as possible, and it would be best if she could take Xiaoxue away, to America, to a place where she wouldn't have to see her or be bothered by her.

But that was at least something to do after the college entrance exams next year. If their relationship was good and bad, her
life would definitely not be easy. Thinking of this, Ling Chen asked softly, "Liu Xin, do you think Xiao Xue is too
willful?"

Realizing she shouldn't have made Ling Chen worry, Liu Xin quickly forced a smile and replied, "It's alright, she can handle it. Hehe
..."

"She's still a child after all, please be understanding."

Ling Chen said this, then suddenly felt it was inappropriate. "Actually, she understands many things in her heart, she
just can't quite grasp them right now. Once she calms down, you can explain it to her carefully, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Yes, I know, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to treat her well."

Liu Xin's words had put Ling Chen at a loss for words, so he couldn't say anything more. He paused, then asked, "By the way,
there's something else—Xiao Sen just came back and said you've already agreed to take that position, is that true?"

Liu Xin immediately answered confidently, "I couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse him right away. But I've
thought of another way, don't worry."

The two consecutive "you"s made Ling Chen feel both comforted and saddened. He quickly said, "Thank you, goodnight,"

then hung up the phone and hurried back to his room.

After all, the allure of a young girl is still stronger. This is for the best; at least she won't have to face Liu Xin's deliberate
seduction anymore. Her efforts these past few days have finally yielded some results. Hopefully, she can regain physical and
mental . What kind of deathly stillness will that be? When the dying struggle finally fails, will everything
lose its meaning? Ling Chen lay on the bed, lost in thought, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The wind outside the window continued to pick up speed.

The sky was pitch black. The light below seemed to have lost all its power, unable to rise or break through
.

There was nothing in the distance. No mountains, no sea, no buildings, no human habitation.

And Luo Han's still incredibly lewd smile, even after so many years, suddenly emerged from the dim light and shadow,
enveloping her like a net, as if it would never let her escape. Xu Dong wasn't there. Liu Xin wasn't there.
Xiao Sen was certainly not there either. He was probably even with Luo Han.

Ling Chen abruptly opened her eyes.

Outside the window, everything was dark and gray. The rain was heavy, but it hadn't started yet.

In the distance, still, there was nothing.

If you didn't look at the alarm clock beside you, you would never know it was already 10 a.m.

Perhaps only Luohan was truly telling the truth. He had decided her life.

Would Liu Xin really avenge him? Ling Chen slowly sat up, staring intently at the dark gray
sky outside the window. What good would revenge do? His broken, almost rotten life would still be beyond repair, beyond even
the chance to salvage. All those futures he had dreamed of, all those happiness he had longed for, would never
return to him, never allow him to find his way forward again. The only good thing would be that he could die
in peace.

A light knock on the door struck Ling Chen's heavy sigh. The sigh, however, wouldn't stop; instead,
like a wet towel, it flicked its tail a few times before slowly disappearing into the stagnant air.

Xiao Xue's distant voice came from outside the door. "Mom! Are you up yet?"

Ling Chen took a deep breath, composed himself, and replied, "Yes, I'm up. Don't you have class today?"

"There's a typhoon today, so the whole school is closed."

Xiao Xue raised her voice slightly. Last night's conflict left her unsure whether she could continue to be
spoiled in front of Ling Chen, so her tone softened considerably. "They're out of H?agen-Dazs, can you ask
Dad to go buy some for me?"

Feeling that Xiao Xue didn't seem to be too insistent on the angry words she had said yesterday, Ling Chen couldn't help but feel a little happy. "
Why don't you go yourself? Hehe..."

"I..."

Seeing Ling Chen open the door with a teasing smile on his face, Xiao Xue quickly lowered her head. "I'm afraid he won't agree."

Ling Chen immediately understood what was going on and comforted her with a smile, "He won't. He probably wasn't that angry yesterday."

"Really?"

Xiao Xue looked at Ling Chen suspiciously, remembering Xiao Sen's strange appearance upstairs, and the lingering fear in her heart was still hard to shake off.
"What if he suddenly gets angry again?"

She was still just a child, Ling Chen thought with relief, then couldn't help but tease, "Impossible. Your father is practically worshipping you
right now ."

Xiao Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Why?"

Ling Chen hesitated, feeling it was better for him to tell Xiao Xue himself than someone else, so he softened his tone and
replied, "Didn't he want to be the legal counsel for that listed company? If it weren't for your connection, Liu Xin
probably wouldn't have given him the chance."

"It's him again."

Seeing her mother mention Liu Xin, Xiao Xue immediately became furious. "Tell your father to give up on that idea. I have absolutely nothing to do with Liu Xin
anymore ."

"Really? A man like your senior doesn't like his girlfriend acting like a child."

"Who's acting like a child? Who's his girlfriend? Humph! I will never speak
a ."

Xiao Xue became increasingly angry, gritting her teeth as if she wanted to chew these words to dust.

Realizing this wasn't the best time to offer advice, Ling Chen simply smiled understandingly and said, "Alright, alright, I'll ask
your dad to buy H?agen-Dazs."

He then walked to the stairwell and called out, "Old Xiao?"

Less than a minute later, Xiao Sen emerged, neatly dressed. "What is it?"

he asked.

"We're out of H?agen-Dazs, go buy a few more tubs."

Noticing the hesitation on Xiao Sen's face, Ling Chen quickly added, "Is Shenzhen University not canceling classes today?"

"No. I'm going to talk to Luo Han about something."

Xiao Sen glanced cautiously at Ling Chen, and seeing no reaction from her, he turned his gaze to
Xiao Xue behind him, saying casually, "Ask your mom to buy it for you. I might not have time."

Xiao Sen's cheerful demeanor only made Xiao Xue feel more annoyed, almost completely forgetting her earlier worries and fears.
"No way. A typhoon is coming. Mom can't drive. You go buy it, otherwise I won't eat it."

Ling Chen looked back at Xiao Xue, then at Xiao Sen helplessly. "Old Xiao, you can just make the trip yourself, it won't take
ten minutes."

Xiao Sen glared at Xiao Xue, somewhat annoyed. "Have your mother come downstairs with me, I'll take her back downstairs after I buy it,
okay?"

Xiao Xue, still shaken, could only nod. "Alright then. But I still want McDonald's. When are you
coming back?"

"You're such a difficult child to please."

Xiao Sen said irritably, walking down the stairs. "I'll find time this afternoon to buy it and bring it over for your
dinner , okay?"

"Alright, alright. Take care, Father."

Xiao Xue bowed in farewell, watching them leave, then happily went to the sofa, sat down, and
turned on the TV.

She hadn't expected her father to be so afraid of Liu Xin. Should she really cut ties with him? Was this decision
too foolish, too quick, too hasty? What was the relationship between him and the woman he was supporting?
Why did Zhen Yan suddenly go to find them? The more Xiao Xue thought about it, the more confused she became, finally unable to resist running upstairs and grabbing
her phone.

Should she really call him? Hearing

the long "beep" sound, Xiao Xue hesitated again, quickly turning off her phone. She paused, then slowly walked to the window,
her heart pounding and her face flushing.

Even if he didn't know she'd followed him yesterday, not answering his calls several times was enough for him to understand
she was angry. If she contacted him now, wouldn't that be like digging her own grave, trapping herself in a cage, and inviting trouble?
She'd already taken the initiative so many times; this time, it was better to wait for him to do it first. Otherwise, in the long run, wouldn't she be
constantly at his beck and call, with no autonomy or freedom? That wasn't the life she wanted. The more Xiao
Xue thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Several flashes of lightning suddenly tore open the gray sky, followed by a series of loud cracking sounds. Before
Xiao Xue could recover, large raindrops were already pattering down.

Xiao Xue involuntarily took two steps back, paused, then stepped forward again, looking at the rushing rain outside the window, the hazy
low sky, and the tiny, fragile streets, alleys, buildings, people, umbrellas, cars, and trees below. Her mood gradually lightened.

How would her senior brother try to please her? Certainly not in the way he used to coax his little sister. When should
she accept him again? Of course, she couldn't be too quick; even for the sake of pride, she had to wait
three days. Xiao Xue asked herself these questions, then couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her cheeks, hoping to
calm them down somewhat.

But it had almost no effect. Soon, she had to go back, lie on the bed, hug her pillow,
and let herself sink into boundless fantasies.

However, now that they had actually made physical contact, the game she played alone had lost much of its flavor.

Xiao Xue hastily ended her game, looked at her phone lying on the headboard, then at the misty, rainy view outside the window, and couldn't help but
feel annoyed. If her mother hadn't specifically asked her not to close the door yesterday, she probably wouldn't have been so eager for Liu Xin to apologize
so soon . Her senior brother was always so busy, and after the May Day holiday he would have to work for more than ten days straight. When would
he have time to please her? What if he forgot? What if he thought she was hard to please and got angry and ignored her
? What if he really had something to do with that woman and was too ashamed to see her?

No, she had to find a way to find out. Xiao Xue reached for her phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed Zhen Yan's
number .

Seeing that the call was from Xiao Xue, Zhen Yan immediately realized she must want to ask about yesterday's events.
A secret thrill rose within her, and she quickly asked gently, "Oh, it's Xiao Xue. Is there something you need?"

"Yes... something. Have you seen Senior Brother Liu Xin these past few days, Senior Sister?"

Seeing Xiao Xue's roundabout manner, Zhen Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You need to ask me about his whereabouts? Hehe...
What? Did you have a fight?"

"No... no."

Xiao Xue hadn't expected Zhen Yan's reaction. After a moment of hesitation, she said coquettishly, "Senior Sister, answer my question first ." Zhen Yan knew the young girl was easily embarrassed and shouldn't tease her too much. Besides, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. If Xiao Xue came to see her as one of Liu Xin 's cronies, all her attempts at persuasion would be ineffective.
So , she composed herself and answered casually, "I saw him yesterday. But this time, he asked me for a favor." Seeing Zhen Yan's frank tone, Xiao Xue realized she might have misunderstood Liu Xin, and a sense of unease . "Does my senior brother need to ask you for a favor? What could be so serious?" "It's nothing major. But sometimes, women are more convenient." Zhen Yan paused for a moment, and before Xiao Xue could press for details, he explained, "It's a . She was raped in a hotel and managed to escape to find him. He couldn't take her in, so he asked me to pick her up and bring her to stay with me for a few days." As Xiao Xue listened, she recalled what she had witnessed the previous night and found everything to fit together perfectly, without any apparent flaws. She reluctantly asked, "Is that true? What kind of hotel has such poor management?" Realizing that Xiao Xue wasn't particularly suspicious, Zhen Yan relaxed a bit and casually made up a story, "The hotel is actually alright . But... that guy is a scoundrel from the Shenzhen underworld. He's not very capable, but he has a big temper. If he fights, the hotel probably can't afford to mess with him." After saying this, Zhen Yan couldn't help but laugh, so he covered the microphone, tried to laugh silently, and cleared his throat. "There are bastards like that too. Humph! Tell my senior brother to find someone to kill him." Xiao Xue said through gritted teeth, but in her heart she was thinking: Apart from the hasty farewell, her senior brother didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Should she wait for him to apologize? Knowing that she was angry, why couldn't he take the initiative to make amends? This time, she wanted to see where her stinky senior brother really placed her! "Don't worry, your senior brother will definitely not let him off the hook." Zhen Yan said meaningfully, thinking that Xiao Xue couldn't possibly understand the true meaning of her words, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After chatting for a few more minutes, feeling that Xiao Xue had basically let go, Zhen Yan said goodbye and hung up the phone. A sense of smugness and gloating welled up in her heart, forcing her to laugh out loud again. If Liu Xin really brought down Xiao Sen, if Xiao Xue knew the whole story, if the two of them were indeed in love with each other , if, in addition to the domineering Xiao Sen, the spoiled Xiao Xue, and the cunning Liu Xin, the weak Ling Chen could also get involved, then there would be quite a show to watch. It's a pity she's leaving next week. Although she's the only one besides Liu Xin who knows the key to the drama, she might miss the rare climax... Thinking of this, Zhen Yan looked at her belly and shook her head helplessly. Forget it, she should take care of herself first. Keeping her degree, getting to America smoothly, and giving birth to the child are her most important priorities. The air gradually became heavy. Zhen Yan stood up, walked to the living room, and gently opened the balcony door. The rain was pouring down. A waterfall of wet wind rushed in. Zhen Yan gritted her teeth, straightened her neck, wrapped her coat tighter, squeezed out to the side, closed the door, and looked up. The city was vast and desolate, the waves crashing. Let them fight. The fiercer the fight, the more she could gain. A chaotic world was paradise for a lone wolf like her. Xiao Sen shouldn't fall so quickly or easily. Even for Xiao Xue's sake, Liu Xin wouldn't push him to the brink. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths to please Xiao Xue, nor would he have needed to hide his identity as the mastermind. As long as he survives, Xiao Sen will definitely find a way to take revenge. This drama is far from over! If they become father-in-law and son-in-law in the future, wouldn't that be even more interesting and lucrative? Should she try to help Xiao Sen? Zhen Yan thought for a long time but still couldn't make up her mind. She could only turn around and walk back, deciding to first report the good news to Liu Xin and see his reaction before making any plans. If she could also find out when and how he would make his move, that would be even better. To Zhen Yan's surprise, Liu Xin didn't show much joy at her successfully persuading Xiao Xue. Did he no longer have any hope of continuing to possess Xiao Xue, or was he already so sure that he didn't need her help at all? Zhen Yan hesitated and asked, "Do you think Xiao Xue will believe my explanation?" "What else can she do if she doesn't believe me?" Liu Xin replied nonchalantly. "Aren't you afraid she'll really be angry with you and break up with you?" "If she doesn't trust me, then I guess I'll just have to let her be. Hehe..." Liu Xin's laughter wasn't natural. "Looks like you don't really like Xiaoxue. Hehe..." "So what if I do? Aren't all women the same? Of course, you're the exception." Liu Xin barely suppressed the sadness in his heart, joking casually. It's better if she leaves in anger, so she won't be caught in the middle between him and Xiao Sen, torn between two options. He was n't just caught between two options, he was caught between the left, the middle, and the right. That bastard Xiao Sen, he's getting on in years, how...

Why do they always do such shady things? Liu Xin felt increasingly depressed as she thought about it. She turned her chair to face the window, looked at the construction site in the central area battered
by the wind and rain , and then stood up and walked over.

Zhen Yan suddenly became serious and earnest. "Liu Xin, tell me honestly, are you afraid that after you bring down Xiao Sen,
you won't be able to get along with her anymore? If that's really the case, I'll withdraw my request. We can think of another
way to ."

Realizing he had said too much, Liu Xin quickly composed himself and laughed, "It's not that complicated. Xiao Sen and
Xiao Xue can be dealt with separately. But I really don't have the time or energy to please a young girl. Being a younger sister is fine, but
being a lover... hehe..."

Zhen Yan paused, then smiled apologetically, "Alright then. I'll leave my matter to you."

"Don't worry. I'll let you know after I make my decision in the next couple of days. Even if I don't bring down Xiao Sen, I'll find
another way to help you keep your degree."

"Thank you, senior. Really!"

"Was it all fake before?"

"It was real before too. But never this real. Hehe..."

"You're good. I wasn't wrong about you after all. Hehe..."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xin's smile immediately vanished.

Was bringing down Xiao Sen the only way? He had been thinking about this question all night, but still couldn't
come up with much of a solution. Xiaoxue and Lingchen always had to pop in and disturb him, preventing him from focusing on the key issues.
Perhaps , only by completely getting rid of them could he wholeheartedly and without regret carry out his revenge. Liu Xin
thought to himself, glancing up at the swaying world outside the window, then grabbed his keys and left the room.

After briefly explaining to Chen Lin, Liu Xin went downstairs, got in his car, and plunged into the raging storm.

Turning onto the North Ring Road, even his usually stable Land Rover trembled slightly.

Liu Xin slowed down, but still felt it wasn't enough, so he simply cracked the window open a crack,
letting the howling wind and raindrops rush past his head, ears, eyes, and back, secretly hoping they would
blow away all the trivialities, allowing his thoughts to become purer and more organized.

The mountains crept backward. Tree leaves slid down the roadside. The powerful raindrops swirled the air
into spirals.

Having witnessed Ling Chen's pitiful state and Xiao Xue's deep affection, Liu Xin had almost given up on
his plans Besides, Xiao Sen's initial demands weren't excessive—a position, a little money, nothing he cared
about. He had even considered separating Ling Chen by driving away Luo Han. But he never
expected that Xiao Sen and Luo Han would not only collude and make outrageous demands,
but also, in addition to abusing Zhen Yan, attempt to rape Xu Hui. How could he continue to tolerate such an increasingly brazen
and unscrupulous Xiao Sen? He wasn't even his father-in-law yet!

He had to lose all his financial resources, all family warmth, all authority, all dignity—all of which
would be detrimental to him, and even more so to others, perhaps even harmful.

Perhaps this was fate. Liu Xin tried to break down the problem step by step. Fate had given Xiao Sen a chance,
but since he had given it up, nothing could stop his revenge. Ling Chen couldn't stop him,
and neither could Xiao Xue. It would be best to keep it a secret from them, of course. If not, he could find
a way . Perhaps, they would be happier without Xiao Sen.

Let it go, let it go. They weren't good enough to warrant such attachment. Liu Xin repeatedly emphasized this to
himself , but suddenly became somewhat confused, unsure which one he was truly attached to. Weren't they all
the same? Choosing inevitably meant giving up. Since he had to give up anyway, it was better not to make a choice at all.

After leaving the North Ring Road, Liu Xin hesitated for a moment before driving onto Shennan Avenue. Awakened

from his sleep by Xiao Xue, Xiao Sen shook his still-drunk head and couldn't help but call out, "What's
going on ? Isn't it Saturday? Why are you waking me up so early?"

"I have to take a day off today, Dad—"

Xiao Xue said coquettishly. "You don't have to go to work, but I have to go to class."

Xiao Sen raised his hand to wipe his face, muttered, "Troublesome,"

and then shouted again. "Let your mom take you. I'm not feeling well today."

"No, she drives too slowly, and she's always so afraid of this and that, constantly slamming on the brakes. It's so annoying!"

Xiao Xue said angrily, determined to get her way. Of

course, she was doing it on purpose. After learning that her father hadn't returned home until 3 a.m. again last night, Xiao Xue was
determined to make sure he didn't get a good night's sleep. The typhoon had been over for two days, and Liu Xin hadn't even called once.
They didn't try to help at all, not even ask, leaving her unable to even ask for help.
Besides, she always hated her father going out partying and staying out all night, especially when he was in a bad mood
. Why could these stinky men go out socializing every day while women had to wait at home, waiting for them
to come home , waiting for them to have time, waiting for them to remember women's existence? Had they forgotten that "women
created this world, and women can also destroy it"? Remembering this sentence she'd seen online yesterday, Xiao Xue
sneered and knocked on the door again.

Xiao Sen was hesitating whether to get up to take his daughter to school and talk to her about Liu Xin when he heard a hurried knocking at the door.
Suddenly annoyed, he snapped, "Then take a taxi!"

"What if I can't stop one and I'm late?"

"Then be late, or don't go at all."

Knowing her father's anger usually kept him awake for ten or twenty minutes, Xiao Xue snorted smugly,
feeling a bit better. She didn't say anything more, just stomped down the stairs.

It must be that brat Liu Xin's doing again. He angered Xiao Xue, and now even her father is suffering. Xiao Sen
shook his head and smiled bitterly. Remembering how Xiao Xue had seemed perfectly fine the night of the typhoon, he wasn't too
worried. That kid had a knack for calming Xiao Xue down without him even having to intervene. This time it probably wouldn't last long, so
he shouldn't get involved. Anyway, Liu Xin had already agreed to his conditions, which showed his
concern for Xiao Xue. Most likely, it was because they were too busy, or perhaps they saw Xiaoxue was too arrogant and deliberately wanted to give her a few days to temper her arrogance.
