“I’m not sure, but I have a target now. It’s Guigui’s classmate who’s abroad.” Xie Yizhe smiled.

Xie Yiting excitedly pulled his hand, “Brother, is what you said true? Is Xianxian really coming back?”

Xie Yizhe’s eyes turned moist as he looked at his younger brother’s excited and choked voice.

Over the years, they had searched thousands of places and spent a huge sum of money but could not find any traces of Xianxian.

For more than twenty years, they had prepared for the worst, but they did not expect to see a living immortal.

“Brother, look, I told you that Guigui is our lucky star. Not only did she cure us, but she also helped us find Xianxian.” At this point, Xie Yiting’s guilt towards Wen Yan disappeared. “When Xianxian comes back, our family will be reunited.”

Xie Yiting’s emotions also affected Xie Yizhe.

“When Xianxian comes back, you can also find a girlfriend.” Xie Yiting rolled his eyes at Xie Yizhe’s teasing. “You should say that to Xiao Ye.”

“Ever since the three of us made a private agreement not to get married until we find Xianxian, Xiao Ye has been trying his best to restrain the energy in his body and play with the flowers.” At the mention of Xiao Ye, Xie Yiting, who was always sunny, also became gentle.

Xiao Ye was the youngest brother and was also the most doted on by them.

Xie Yiting’s mood improved when he thought about meeting Xianxian tonight, “Dad and the others are still waiting for me. I’ll go and give them an explanation first.”

Xie Yiting had just walked over when he realized the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Guigui had changed her clothes and was sitting beside Xie Huaiyuan, making him laugh.

When Xie Zigui saw him walking over, he looked to both sides guiltily.

Wen Yan had a faint smile on her face. Xie Yiting pursed his lips and stopped in his tracks when he met her smiling eyes.

“What took you so long?” Xie Huaiyuan said seriously. “How was the investigation on the surveillance cameras?”

The scene suddenly fell silent, so quiet that even a pin could be heard.

Xie Zigui tugged at the corner of his shirt and stared pitifully at Xie Yiting. His voice was soft and choked with tears, “Second Brother…”

Su Qianqian also held her breath.

“I saw the surveillance footage.” Xie Yiting looked at Wen Yan and paused. “Guigui is right. Miss Wen pushed her.”

Xie Zigui suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

Xie Huaiyuan looked at Wen Yan with a serious face.

He didn’t expect the seemingly calm and upright little girl would actually have such a vicious heart.

Xie Yiting suddenly felt his chest tighten.

“Miss Wen, can we talk in private?” He said to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan sighed and shook his head. He smiled charmingly and coldly, “There’s no need. Since you’ve already found out, nothing I say can change the outcome, right?”

The coldness spread from her fingers to her heart. The people and air in this room made every cell of her feel extremely cold.

She just didn’t expect that even a seemingly righteous person like Xie Yiting would be so blatantly biased.

“I thought Lawyer Xie was different from the others.” Wen Yan’s smile did not reach her eyes. “I might be suspicious if it was the other people checking the surveillance cameras, but I don’t think so for you because you’re a lawyer.”

“But I forgot that you’re a lawyer too.”

A lawyer could not only defend the victim but also protect the perpetrator.

Xie Yiting’s eyes shattered.

He had prepared a huge sum of money to settle the matter privately, but he did not expect this person would not even give him the chance to resolve the matter privately.

She didn’t seem to blame him, but every word she said blamed him.

She was right. He was a lawyer, but here, he only wanted to be a protective older brother.

I’m sorry.

Xie Yiting lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the light in his eyes.

Wen Yan stood up with the box in her arms. She looked tired and gloomy. She looked away and walked towards the door of the hall.

Xie Zigui stood rooted to the ground because of a guilty conscience.

Looking at Wen Yan’s back as she left, Su Qianqian once again marveled at Xie Zigui’s influence.

Xie Yiting’s tolerance for Xie Zigui was too perverse.

It was clearly Xie Zigui’s problem, but Xie Yiting was lying through his teeth and protecting Xie Zigui tightly.

Just as Wen Yan was about to leave, Xie Huaiyuan’s voice sounded, “Since Miss Wen has pushed Guigui away, then apologize to her. We can let bygones be bygones.”

Xie Huaiyuan’s words made Xie Yiting blush.

Xie Zigui glanced at Xie Yiting guiltily.

She knew that Second Brother had already seen the surveillance footage. He was just trying to make her look good. She had achieved her goal.

However, what if Xie Huaiyuan’s words drove Wen Yan crazy?

She knew that Wen Yan would not even give Gu Jinmo a face.

“Dad, why don’t we forget about it? You see, I’m fine.” Xie Zigui began to plead for mercy, looking at Wen Yan as he spoke.

The latter turned around and smiled mockingly.

However, Xie Huaiyuan didn’t listen. He looked at Xie Yiting and said, “Since you’ve checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that Miss Wen pushed Guigui, you should have sent her to the Public Security Bureau as you said before. Why aren’t you pursuing the matter now?”

This made Xie Yiting feel awkward.

He wanted to protect his sister, but he couldn’t force a confession out of her.

Since he already knew the truth, he would not do anything overboard to Wen Yan.

Looking at Wen Yan standing there alone, coupled with his father’s sharp words, he felt a trace of sympathy for Wen Yan.

In the video, she only wanted the box, while Guigui was obviously trying to make things difficult for her.

Now, it wasn’t Guigui who was bullying her, but the entire Xie family.

Xie Yiting suddenly felt the card Xie Yizhe had given him had become hot.

He looked at Xie Huaiyuan and hesitated.

Seeing him like this, Xie Zigui panicked and hurriedly pulled Xie Huaiyuan’s arm and said coquettishly, “Dad, forget it. Xianxian will be here soon. Let her go today.”

“How can I let it go…” Xie Huaiyuan looked at her meaningfully. “Since you’ve done something wrong, you should apologize, right, Miss Wen?”

Meeting Xie Huaiyuan’s scrutinizing gaze, Yan Qingwen smiled gently with a sarcastic smile on her lips, “You’re right, but was I really the one who did something wrong?”

She didn’t know why Xie Huaiyuan stopped her.

Just now, she thought Xie Huaiyuan was not as unreasonable as the rumors said. Was she going to slap his face now?

Because Xie Yiye, she didn’t want to think too badly of the Xie family.

Including the series of things that happened today, she had tolerated them all for Xie Yiye’s sake.

However, this didn’t mean that she was a real pushover.

Xie Huaiyuan nodded when he saw her questioning him, “Yeah, don’t you know whether you pushed her or not?”

“I didn’t push her.” Subconsciously, Wen Yan blurted out, “Your son is lying.”

When she said this, Xie Huaiyuan laughed, “You’re right, Xiao Ting is indeed lying.”
