Bai Qingyu could only watch helplessly as the property manager slipped away. She felt both angry and powerless.
Mo Shenbai held Xu Youyou’s hand and walked into the house.
Cang Ming, who was following behind them, closed the door.
“What are you trying to do?” Bai Qingyu looked at the few of them warily. She could no longer conceal the panic in her heart.
“Shouldn’t I be asking you this question?” Xu Youyou asked with a hint of coldness, “How did I offend Miss Bai? Why do you hate so much? Not only did you expose my past, but you even made sure my grandmother found out about it.”
“I, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Bai Qingyu denied imdiately. She pointed at the door and said, “Please leave imdiately. Otherwise, I’ll really call the police!”
Xu Youyou looked at Xu Jialu. “Brother…”
A frosty smile appeared on Xu Jialu’s face. “I guess you won’t give up until you’ve seen your coffin, right?”
Xu Jialu looked at the ssage Mo Zhiyun sent him again.
Mo Zhiyun: The account on Weibo is newly created. You should be able to find sothing.
Following that, Xu Jialu’s gaze landed on a white laptop on the dining table.
Bai Qingyu followed Xu Jialu’s gaze, and she quickly dashed to the dining table.
Xu Jialu reacted faster. He grabbed Bai Qingyu’s hair and forcefully pulled her back before pressing her face against the wall. Then, he said mockingly, “Why are you panicking? Do you want to destroy the evidence?”
Xu Jialu was still grabbing Bai Qingyu’s hair, and the strength he exerted was not small. Bai Qingyu felt as though her scalp was going to tear. She cried out in pain, “Ah. Let go! Let go! Hurry up!”
Xu Jialu’s charming eyes were dark as he asked, “Are you going to pretend again?”
Xu Jialu reached out with his other hand and gripped Bai Qingyu’s chin tightly, causing her fair skin to redden.
Bai Qingyu felt like her bone was going to break.
Xu Jialu had been a tyrant since he was young. No one dared to bully him at school or on the streets he played in when he was young. Now that he had grown up and entered the upper-class circle, he had only beco more ruthless. In his eyes, there was no distinction between n and won when it ca to those who provoked him.
Bai Qingyu struggled desperately with all her might, but she still could not free herself. She shouted anxiously, “Xu Youyou! Tell this lunatic to let go!”
Xu Youyou called out lightly, “Brother…”
Xu Jialu turned to glance at his sister. Then, he released his grip on Bai Qingyu as he said fiercely, “Consider yourself lucky.”
Since Xu Youyou was present, Xu Jialu did not want to completely reveal his violent side. Otherwise, he would definitely not let Bai Qingyu off so easily.
Bai Qingyu leaned against the wall. She was so frightened that her body went limp. She slid to the ground as she looked around fearfully. She realized now that Xu Jialu did not act according to common sense.
Xu Jialu walked to the dining table and turned on the laptop. Although Bai Qingyu had set a password, it was nothing to him.
anwhile, Xu Youyou looked at Bai Qingyu expressionlessly and asked, “How did you find out about my past?”
Only a few people knew about Xu Youyou’s past. Bai Qingyu was not in her past, and she had also just returned from abroad recently. How could she have known about Xu Youyou’s past?
Bai Qingyu lowered her gaze and did not say anything.
Xu Youyou moved to stand in front of Bai Qingyu before she squatted down. For so reason, this was more intimidating than if she were to look down at Bai Qingyu from above. She said, “It’s unlikely that Lin Yin told you about it so it can only be Lin Zhihuan…”
Bai Qingyu looked at Xu Youyou’s moving lips. The words that ca out of Xu Youyou’s mouth were like a chill that perated her bones, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
“The post on the university forum wasn’t posted by you. It was posted by Lin Zhihuan. However, when you saw that the original post and the subsequent posts had been taken down, you were so angry so you sent a ssage to my grandmother before posting on Weibo, right?”
Although Xu Youyou had spoken nonchalantly, Bai Qingyu was very frightened. She suddenly realized Xu Youyou was not like what Lin Zhihuan described at all. Xu Youyou was not simple-minded, sweet, weak, and easy to bully.
Xu Youyou was far smarter than them. It was just that most of the ti, everyone was deceived by her sweet and cute appearance and did not notice her intelligence.
“Since Lin Zhihuan told you so much, did she tell you that my grandmother is very ill? If anything happened to her, you’d be a murderer. Even if the law can’t punish you, do you think I, my brother, and the Xu family will let you go?”
Bai Qingyu’s eyes widened in fear as she hurriedly said, “I didn’t know your grandmother is seriously ill! I only wanted to make your grandmother anxious and teach you a little lesson! I didn’t an to hurt anyone! I don’t know anything at all!”
‘A little lesson?’
Xu Jialu sneered. ‘These people really don’t know what pain feels like unless it’s inflicted on them.’
Xu Youyou smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes as she said, “You don’t know anything? Why are you helping Lin Zhihuan to do evil? What did I do to offend you? Even if you resent because of my engagent to Lin Yin back then, shouldn’t the person you hate be Lin Yin? I’m not the one who abandoned you.”
“That’s because…” Bai Qingyu stopped speaking abruptly when she saw Mo Shenbai, who had been silent the entire ti, raising an eyebrow. His gaze was cold and piercing, seeming as though it could cut her into pieces. Compared to Xu Youyou and Xu Jialu, Mo Shenbai made her feel a sense of danger. He was not soone she could afford to offend. Otherwise, she would not even know how she died.
Xu Youyou was too lazy to continue speaking to Bai Qingyu. She rose to her feet and walked toward Xu Jialu before she asked, “Brother, have you found it?”
Xu Jialu nodded. “Her account is logged in on the laptop. The number she used to send Grandma the ssage was from an app.”
“Alright. Then call the police and let them handle it,” Xu Youyou said.
“You really want the police to handle it?” Xu Jialu was surprised.
The incident back then was also handled by the police. In the end, the outco was… unsatisfactory.
Xu Youyou said with certainty, “Call the police. We have to believe in the justice system.”
Xu Jialu did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Mo Shenbai.
Mo Shenbai nodded.
With that, Xu Jialu said, “Alright. If you want to call the police, then we’ll call the police.”
Bai Qingyu, who was leaning against the wall, sighed in relief. Compared to Mo Shenbai and Xu Jialu, the police were the better choice.
Xu Youyou turned to Bai Qingyu and said, “Miss Bai, the marriage agreent I had with Lin Yin had ended long ago. In fact, even if it had not ended, you’re welco to take him away. I really don’t care.”
Xu Youyou shrugged. Clearly, she did not care about Lin Yin at all.
Mo Shenbai glanced at Xu Youyou briefly. He was displeased by the ntion of Lin Yin, but he endured it.
After Xu Jialu gathered the evidence, he rose to his feet, preparing to lodge a report.
When Xu Youyou was at the door, she suddenly thought of sothing. She turned back to look at the woman, who was leaning against the wall weakly, and said, “Don’t be the knife in another person’s hand in the future. Perhaps, a bit of leniency might be shown if it involves the mbers of the Xu family and the Lin family due to old friendship. However, it’s not the case for you.”
