Chapter 771: Tip-offs Don’t End Well

Xu Yi knew how to make him angry. Whenever he was calm and wanted to coax her, she would say something that made him speechless.

Zhou Mingchen glanced at Xu Yi.

"Still angry?"

"No, I have nothing to be angry with you for."

Xu Yi wanted to say that he would never make himself angry because of someone who was not worthy, but after thinking about it, he held back his words.

Zhou Mingchen drove the car to the door of a restaurant and stopped.

Xu Yi looked at it and said, "I'm not hungry."

"Eat something even if you're not hungry. Pregnant women shouldn't be so irritable."

Zhou Mingchen said all that, but Xu Yi refused to climb up the ladder. "I'm not someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will. Besides, pregnant women don't have a big temper. Who has a big temper?"

Zhou Mingchen's face was grim. "Mingxin, don't be angry with me. It's all as you wish."

Xu Yi still didn't say anything, so Zhou Mingchen had to reach out to help her down.

Xu Yi said, "Don't touch me!"

"Then don't be angry. If you don't, I won't touch you.

Xu Yi had no choice but to get out of the car and go to the restaurant. Zhou Mingchen had booked a private room. He winked at the waiter from a distance, and the waiter carried Xu Yi to a private room.

The cold dishes were served, and then the hot dishes began to be served one after another.

Xu Yi just sat down and went to the bathroom and when she came back, Zhou Mingchen was already sitting in the living room waiting for her.

Xu Yi raised her eyes and glanced at him, then looked at the dishes on the table, which were all her favorites.

Although Zhou Mingchen is her biological brother, she does not have much actual contact with Zhou Mingchen, so it is unlikely that Zhou Mingchen knows her preferences.

"Minglan and I grew up together, so I can't be so objective about many things. Fortunately, I made a choice in time and didn't make things worse."

Xu Yi didn't say anything, just quietly picked up the chopsticks and ate.

"Mingxin, I have been looking for you all these years. I really am looking for you because I am afraid that you will be wronged."

Xu Yi believed that Zhou Mingchen had been looking for her, and after knowing that she was Zhou Mingxin, he tried every means to compensate her.

But between Zhou Minglan and her, he was the one who tried his best to protect Zhou Minglan, and he was also the one who indulged Zhou Minglan to do bad things.

Many things seemed to have happened just yesterday. When Xu Yi thought about it, she couldn't control her tears.

As I ate the cold dishes, I began to feel my heart getting colder.

"I will treat you well in the future. Song Yanming is not the only one who truly loves you. He cannot replace my feelings for you."

Hearing this, Xu Yi took another bite of the cold dish and looked at the table of dishes in front of him, "You are wrong."

Xu Yi looked at him, "You asked him about these things, right? Otherwise, how would you know?"

Xu Yi took a deep breath and said, "You are a selfish person. I also want to persuade you not to be so selfish, but from what happened to mom, I see you clearly. I didn't tell mom just because I was afraid that she would be sad."

Xu Yi stood up and said, "Let's just get along like this. No one should bring up the past. I will never let mom know about your previous attitude. Everything is moving in a good direction. I'm leaving now."

Xu Yi could never get over the series of things Zhou Mingchen did to Zhou Minglan in order to protect her.

Zhou Mingchen pulled her back and said, "Mingxin, I'm your brother. Am I really not worthy of your forgiveness?"

"You almost hit me for Zhou Minglan with these hands. Do you still remember?"

This question stumped Zhou Mingchen.

"I'm not someone you can just slap and coax back into being."

Fearing that he would become soft-hearted if he stayed any longer, Xu Yi left the restaurant without hesitation.

Qi Yu also noticed that Xu Yi and Zhou Mingchen did not have a good relationship, but she did not ask directly.

After returning home, Xu Yi didn't tell anyone about her and Zhou Mingchen, and she was even more afraid of Qi Yu knowing about it.

Lindong, upon learning that Qi Yu had returned to Jiangcheng, called Xu Yi several times, but Xu Yi did not give her face. Lindong then asked Qin Moyu and Song Yuqian to help them say a few words in front of Xu Yi.

Given Lin Dong's status in Jiangcheng's fashion circle, it was difficult for everyone to offend her openly, but since it was related to Xu Yi, they had to make things clear.

Lin Dong came to the studio that day, and Song Yuqian and Qin Moyu both stopped what they were doing to meet her.

"There will be a fashion show in Jiangcheng soon. I am very familiar with the organizer and would like to invite your studio to attend as well."

Given the studio's current influence, it is reasonable to be invited.

But Lin Dong came in person to talk about the fashion show, which made it seem like they owed her a big favor.

Song Yuqian saw through it but didn't say it out loud. Qin Moyu was also thinking in her heart that even if Lindong didn't come, the party that took the initiative would contact them.

"Thank you, Master Lin."

"You're welcome. Ayu and I have been good sisters for many years, and I have watched Mingxin grow up, so I naturally have to make more plans for the studio."

When it comes to Qi Yu, everyone becomes sensitive.

Lin Dong said, "There were some misunderstandings between Ming Xin and me before. She is very childish and has ignored my calls several times. I don't know what she is busy with. I have been worried for a long time that someone was plotting against her in the Xidi competition."

Song Yuqian said, "In that case, why don't I take Master Lin back? My sister-in-law and Master Qi Yu are both at my house, so it will be convenient for me to take you there."

"That's not necessary."

Lin Dong wanted to meet these two people, but was afraid that there were too many members of the Song family and she would be stared at by many eyes. If Xu Yi or Qi Yu did not give her face on the spot, her status would appear very low.

As a woman with fashion resources in Jiangcheng, she is a little reluctant to humble herself.

"It's too troublesome to go to the Song family. It would be nice if we could go out and meet."

Lin Dong stayed at the Song family for some time. Apart from the cemetery, she had not been to anywhere else since she came to Jiangcheng.

She doesn't like to go out much, she likes to stay at home and doesn't talk much.

Song Yuqian knew what Lin Dong was thinking and deliberately didn't respond, "We've just been through so many bad things, it's good that Master Qi Yu didn't go crazy."

"Yes, I didn't think it through."

Lin Dong was very uneasy. She had offended Huo Yunhua. With the previous experience of the Qi family, she didn't want to continue to get any benefits from the Huo family. She might not get any benefits and be humiliated instead.

But with what happened back then in the past, she always felt that Qi Yu was imprisoned by Huo Yunhua and her family was broken up, which was inevitably due to her relationship with Huo Yunhua in informing on him.

After a moment of silence, Song Yuqian asked again, "Master Lindong, do you know something?"

"what?"

"Regarding Zhou Minglan, before my brother rescued Master Qi Yu, Zhou Minglan got the news from somewhere. She knew what my brother was going to do next, so she told Huo Yunhua about it. Guess what happened?"

Song Yuqian kept it a secret, Lin Dong glanced at Song Yuqian and said, "I haven't seen Minglan for a while."

No matter what, Zhou Minglan is still the adopted daughter of the Zhou family.

Song Yuqian smiled, "She was imprisoned. She tipped off the enemy and even Master Qi Yu ignored her. How could the Zhou family tolerate her?"
