Chapter 798 - 779 Collusion
Late at night, Xi Siwei drove to the villa in the suburbs, ultimately feeling uneasy about Lou Xi, so he rushed over to check.
The bodyguards and Sister Li knew Xi Siwei was coming, so they all became exceedingly alert.
"How is she?" Xi Siwei asked as he took off his suit jacket.
"Miss Lin’s fever has subsided, she took some medicine and is now asleep." Sister Li wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"How did it subside?" Xi Siwei noticed the expressions of the three were somewhat odd but couldn’t pinpoint what was strange.
"Well... I used white wine to wipe Miss Lin’s body, it dispersed the... chill inside."
Xi Siwei looked skeptically at Sister Li, not quite believing it.
"Well... it’s an old village remedy. When my son used to have a fever... I used this method..." Sister Li hurriedly explained.
Before Xi Siwei arrived, the two bodyguards had told her not to mention the outsider’s visit today, otherwise, if Xi Siwei found out, none of the three would have it easy.
So this was their colluded testimony.
"It better be," Xi Siwei snorted and headed upstairs.
The two bodyguards and Sister Li breathed a sigh of relief; they seemed to have managed to handle it.
Xi Siwei went upstairs, opened Lou Xi’s room, and saw Lou Xi quietly sleeping on the bed. He walked softly over, gazing at the serene and lovely Lou Xi under the bedside lamp.
If she had always been so obedient, he wouldn’t have needed to inject her with medication or arrange for a hypnotist to come and hypnotize her.
"Did you know, the one I least want to hurt is you." Xi Siwei reached out to touch Lou Xi’s cheek, "But it’s okay, very soon this will all be over. Once I’ve drained the Qin Family, I’ll take you, bring Mom and Dad, and we’ll all live abroad. Wouldn’t that be nice?"
Xi Siwei thought now was a golden opportunity, Qin Sheng was awake and home. As long as he could steal Qin Sheng’s private seal and use it for asset transfers, he could move all the Qin Family’s liquid, movable and immovable assets under his name.
By then, the Qin Family would be an empty shell! He’d take his parents and Lou Xi and flee abroad, beyond the reach of authority, leaving Qin Mobai stuck in chaos.
He still held Lin Qianqian, thinking she was Lou Xi.
Xi Siwei’s plan was well-crafted.
Perhaps feeling someone touching her cheek, Lou Xi slowly opened her eyes, seeing Xi Siwei right nearby.
The emotions that brewed for so long did not surface when she opened her eyes.
"You’re here..." Lou Xi spoke softly, "Is it that... if I died here, you wouldn’t even come to see me?"
Xi Siwei, hearing this, chuckled; was Lou Xi upset with him?
This wasn’t an angry upset, but a playful one, sensing this change, Xi Siwei instantly put other matters aside.
"How could I? You see, I’m here now, aren’t I? I had dinner at home tonight, the whole family was there, I couldn’t come over."
Was the whole family there, including Qin Mobai, and including that woman?
Lou Xi fully opened her eyes, slowly sat up from the bed; her body still weak from the fever that had just subsided, she leaned against the headboard.
"You don’t come to see me, nor let me come to find you... Do you truly like me? Shouldn’t two people who truly like each other be together all the time?"
"Of course I like you, but... right now my work is very busy, I don’t have time to take care of you."
