Chapter 969: You Brought This Upon Yourself

Qin Mobai said someone was protecting Lou Xi, and it really is true…

From the car leaving the house, one person in the front row is the driver and another is a bodyguard. Besides, there are cars escorting them in front and behind, making Lou Xi immediately think of the scene when nobles or important state figures travel.

However, Lou Xi feels Xi Siwei is a madman and could really do anything.

After picking up the book for Bai Lu today, Lou Xi must stay at home and not go out, or else Xi Siwei might seize the opportunity and grab Qin Mobai’s Achilles’ heel, which would be disadvantageous to Qin Mobai.

Inside the Qin Mansion, a man wearing a black gardener’s uniform slightly raised his hat somewhat, looking at the distant convoy, clenching his fist tightly.

Qin Mobai was too protective of Lou Xi, even when going out, there were so many people accompanying her.

But now, Xi Siwei’s target isn’t just Lou Xi anymore, he needs to get his parents out of this ghost place first.

So he thought of how the Qin Family hires gardeners every year before Chinese New Year to trim the branches and flowers in the yard, Xi Siwei mixed in with the gardeners to enter, later he and his parents would wear gardener uniforms inside the villa, and then they could leave without anyone noticing. Who would know?

…

The car drove all the way to Jia Sheng Group, Bai Lu was already waiting there, holding a bag with Lu Li’s clothes inside.

Bai Lu looked at the convoy accompanying Lou Xi and thought of what Lu Li told her last night. It seems Xi Siwei really escaped from prison, otherwise Qin Mobai wouldn’t have arranged so many bodyguards to accompany Lou Xi.

“I’ll go take these things up to Lu Li first, you go wait in the car, it’s a bit unsafe outside now.”

“Alright.” Bai Lu gave the bag to Lou Xi and then went to the car to wait for Lou Xi.

Lou Xi went upstairs with the bodyguard, now the bodyguard was following Lou Xi around closely, just in case anything unexpected happened.

When she reached the door of Lu Li’s office, Lou Xi knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Lu Li’s voice sounded cheerful.

But when the door opened, and Lu Li saw who it was, his whole face fell, “Sister-in-law, why is it you.”

He clearly agreed with Bai Lu earlier to exchange in Lu Li’s office inside Jia Sheng Group, but instead of Bai Lu, it was Lou Xi who came!

You tell me, how can Lu Li not feel hopeless?

Seeing Lou Xi, Lu Li instantly had no strength and sat on the sofa, not even wanting to entertain her.

“Are you particularly disappointed to see me?”

“More than disappointed.”

“Well, there’s nothing you can do, you brought it on yourself.” Lou Xi didn’t sympathize with Lu Li, only felt he deserved what he got.

She placed Lu Li’s clothes on the coffee table and asked, “Where’s Bai Lu’s book? I need to take it and leave.”

“Tell her that if she doesn’t come, I won’t give it to you.”

“Aren’t they just two books? I have them, I can give them to her later.”

“Sister-in-law!” Lu Li was truly hopeless, “Can’t you help set me up with Bai Lu? You see how deeply I care for her…”

“Shut up, would you? If you really cared so deeply for her, you wouldn’t have done things to hurt her. You messed up the first time, no complaint there. But the second time, you lied to her again! Bai Lu dislikes being lied to the most, you kicked up a storm, so how can I help you two reconcile? Besides, Bai Lu is my good friend, you are not!” Therefore, Lou Xi stands unconditionally on Bai Lu’s side.

Lu Li, despite being Qin Mobai’s friend, if he weren’t, Lou Xi would have beaten him up a long time ago!
