Chapter 708 - 689: She Has His Shadow
Actually, whether Qin Ruiqian comes or not, Lou Xi will not let Shen Ruozhuo into the main house to see the old lady.
The old lady has always wanted to hold a great-grandchild. Originally, Lou Xi might have allowed the old lady to hold a great-grandchild during her lifetime, but because of Shen Ruozhuo’s interference, Qin Mobai and Lou Xi lost their first child, and the old lady never got the chance to see her great-grandchild.
Of course, Lou Xi cannot let someone like her bid farewell to the old lady.
"I am now in charge of the Qin Family’s inner residence matters. This was said by Grandpa himself. If you have any questions, you can ask him when he wakes up." Lou Xi was unafraid, her unadorned face exuding the same regal air as Qin Mobai.
The Lou Xi now is no longer the Lou Xi who was easily manipulated. She would use her position wisely to handle matters that made her and those she cared about uncomfortable.
She believed there were others besides her who didn’t want to see Shen Ruozhuo.
"Xi Siwei, if you want to continue having this family remain in a state of disarray, then let me tell you, I have the authority right now to kick you and Shen Ruozhuo out of the Qin Family! Don’t think I won’t do it. I’ll call the security over right now!"
Xi Siwei frowned, Lou Xi’s sudden appearance had truly caught him off guard, and he was rebuffed like this.
His motives for bringing Shen Ruozhuo were indeed impure, but being rebuffed so easily by Lou Xi was too embarrassing.
Lou Xi stepped forward, forcing Xi Siwei and Shen Ruozhuo back several steps.
"For the funeral ceremony, I will bring Ruozhuo back together."
"If you dare bring her back, then don’t dream of appearing in the Qin Family’s funeral procession." Lou Xi replied.
Their eyes met, and Lou Xi’s gaze locked with Xi Siwei’s.
At that moment, Xi Siwei felt he might not be speaking to Lou Xi, but rather confronting the man standing behind her, Qin Mobai.
But over the years, Xi Siwei and Qin Mobai’s confrontations always ended in Xi Siwei’s defeat.
This time was no exception.
Xi Siwei gave Lou Xi a deep look, glanced at his uncle Qin Ruiqian, and turned to tell Shen Ruozhuo: "We’ll come another day to say goodbye to Grandma."
Shen Ruozhuo didn’t care; she wasn’t really eager to say goodbye to the old lady.
She and Xi Siwei got into the car, and while fastening seatbelts, Shen Ruozhuo asked Xi Siwei, "Was it you who hired someone to kill Qin Mobai?"
Xi Siwei raised his eyes to look at Shen Ruozhuo and simultaneously over Shen Ruozhuo’s shoulder, he noticed Lou Xi standing outside the car.
He withdrew his gaze from Lou Xi and looked back at Shen Ruozhuo, "Do you think it was me?"
"Who else would have the guts to kill Qin Mobai other than you?"
Regarding Shen Ruozhuo’s words, Xi Siwei let out a light chuckle and didn’t answer.
If Shen Ruozhuo thought this way, might Qin Mobai and Lou Xi also think the same?
He didn’t hire someone to assassinate Qin Mobai, but Qin Mobai indeed was shot because of him, so naturally, this accusation was pinned on him.
"What if I really did hire someone to kill him?"
"You’ll go to jail," Shen Ruozhuo replied, but her eyes held more suspicion, "Was it really you?"
If it was really Xi Siwei, he would truly be sentenced and go to jail!
...
Lou Xi watched Xi Siwei and Shen Ruozhuo leave, letting out a sigh of relief, as if all her strength had been drained.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice calling her.
