Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Just Sleep, Be More Honest

Bai Jingting sat in his parents’ room, his head buzzing.

He could never have imagined that his grandmother could have been pushed down the stairs!

Bai Jingting couldn’t believe it!

"Jingting, it’s not just you; I can’t believe it either. Your grandfather heard it with his own ears, and your grandmother said it herself; there must be no mistake. Now we need to thoroughly investigate who pushed your grandmother. Jingting, we must search quietly and not startle the snake."

Bai Jingting: "Dad, I’ll investigate."

Bai Zhenyang: "Let me handle it."

The father and son, exchanging words, only noticed after they were done talking that Chen Xinwan was sitting on the side with a dull gaze, seemingly unable to snap out of it.

Bai Zhenyang waved his hand in front of Chen Xinwan’s eyes: "Xinwan, what’s up?"

Bai Jingting: "Mom can’t believe it either, she hasn’t come back to her senses yet."

Bai Zhenyang took Chen Xinwan’s hand, his voice low: "Xinwan, calm down. We weren’t going to tell you, but after thinking about it, we should let you know, so you can be more vigilant in the future."

Chen Xinwan, coming back to her senses, looked at Bai Zhenyang in disbelief: "Is this real? Is this really happening? How could this be! I thought Mom had fallen accidentally, but to think someone pushed her! This person is still in our house, to appear at night... It’s terrifying! Truly terrifying! Tell Qiaoqiao to be cautious for her safety!"

Bai Zhenyang: "You and your daughter are truly connected at heart; you worry about your Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao worries about you. Qiaoqiao told me to remind you to be safe lately, not to stay at home alone; there must be someone with you."

Chen Xinwan felt a warm current passing through her heart; her daughter was concerned about her, and it filled her with joy as a mother.

Chen Xinwan’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, and her brow furrowed again: "Should we tell Yurou?"

Bai Zhenyang: "Don’t tell her."

Bai Jingting: "Don’t tell her."

Both father and son said in unison, neither agreeing to it.

Chen Xinwan felt a bit hurt; Bai Yurou was the daughter she had watched grow up and loved for eighteen years.

If the murderer was Bai Yurou, Chen Xinwan’s heart couldn’t accept it; it was extremely upsetting.

Bai Zhenyang said: "Ever since Qiaoqiao told me I was poisoned, that our whole family was poisoned, I’ve been very uneasy. I am also investigating whom the servants have been in touch with over these years, but it’s not easy considering the time that has passed."

Bai Jingting spoke: "I’ve sent people to investigate as well. Searching separately and together, we will find out sooner or later!"

Chen Xinwan: "It has to be someone inside the family! Otherwise, how could they poison us? The dose is very small each day, and over the years, this person must be someone close to us!"

The three of them thought of Bai Yurou again.

Bai Zhenyang said: "It’s not that we suspect Bai Yurou for no reason, we have checked; there’s not much money in her name. Where has the money we gave her over the years gone? I haven’t seen her buy much for the house. Food, clothing, and necessities, we’ve bought them for her; she hasn’t needed to spend money for years, we’ve provided everything!"

Bai Jingting: "I find it hard to accept as well. I’ve treated Yurou like my sister, showing her nothing but kindness over the years. Every time I would come back, I would bring her gifts and give her red envelopes."

That money amounted to at least ten million.

The family of three sighed together.

...

Bai Jingting left his parents’ room and saw Bai Yurou approaching.

Bai Yurou had a sweet smile, "Big brother, it’s so late, and you’re still not asleep?"

Bai Jingting hummed in response: "My parents called me over to introduce me to a potential match. I didn’t agree, and they were persuading me."

A reasonable excuse.

Bai Yurou replied with a smile: "Big brother, you’re still young, it’s fine if you don’t look for someone for now."

Bai Jingting asked: "Why are you still awake at this late hour?"

Bai Yurou, smiling sweetly: "I made some snacks to bring to Mom and Dad."

"No need to go now, they’re not in a good mood, they probably won’t have an appetite. Tomorrow, bring it to them tomorrow."

Bai Yurou didn’t think much of it, she didn’t want to butt heads.

"Big brother, I’m going to rest then, you should rest early too."

Bai Jingting hummed in response, then turned and walked away.

...

Bai Jingting paced back and forth in his room, furrowing his brows.

After thinking for a moment, he made a call to someone.

"Check who Bai Yurou has been in contact with over the last five years."

Hanging up the phone, Bai Jingting’s heart still felt uneasy.

How had their family come this far over the years?

Was the murderer really Bai Yurou?

The younger sister they had cherished so deeply?

...

The news of Bai Jingting ordering an investigation in his room also reached the ears of Nan Qiao.

The message came to her phone, and Nan Qiao’s brow relaxed.

"Everyone is starting to investigate; it might alert the enemy. Fortunately, the person taking the job is one of Hou Ze’s people, which avoids some trouble."

Li Yehan joked: "Doing one job, getting paid for two."

Nan Qiao smiled lightly: "That’s Hou Ze’s capability for you."

Both Bai Zhenyang and Bai Jingting had people looking into the matter, and Nan Qiao was investigating too; they were all in it together.

Nan Qiao sat beside Li Yehan and picked up her phone to return a message to Hou Ze.

Just after sending a response, Li Yehan scooped her up to sit on his lap.

Nan Qiao pointed to the clock: "Li Yehan, you should go back. It’s so late; if you don’t sleep, how will you have the energy for work tomorrow?"

Li Yehan’s head nestled in her neck, his voice muffled: "As long as you’re with me, I have the energy to handle things."

Nan Qiao sighed helplessly and said: "You should go back; I need to rest too. If you don’t sleep, I still have to."

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao as they lay together on the bed.

"Sleep, I’ll leave after you fall asleep."

Nan Qiao, left with no choice, decided that once Li Yehan made up his mind, it wasn’t easy to change it.

Alright, she would sleep in peace.

"Li Yehan, if you’re going to sleep, just sleep; behave yourself."

Li Yehan, caught between laughter and tears, held her tight: "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely behave. I’ll wait until the night you marry me to touch you."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao was speechless.

After a while, Nan Qiao fell asleep.

Li Yehan, listening to the steady breathing of the person in his arms, looked at the sleeping girl and showed a contented smile.

His Qiaoqiao, always this joyful.

True to his word, Li Yehan kissed Nan Qiao’s forehead and left through the window.

Just as he had climbed out, making his way down from the windowsill...

There stood Bai Yurou, on the balcony, making a call.

Bai Yurou: !!

Wasn’t that Li Yehan?

What was he doing at the Bai family home?

Bai Yurou was even more shocked to see Li Yehan, a man who could command the wind and rain, having to climb through a window!

Without giving it a thought, she knew why Li Yehan was here.

It must be to see Nan Qiao!

Li Yehan didn’t even look at Bai Yurou, jumped down from the window, and left gracefully.
