Chapter 977 The Frail Heiress 22
"What's wrong?" Nie Xiaomei asked, puzzled. Qin Yin suddenly stopped in her tracks. Following her gaze, she only saw people coming and going, but no one she recognized.

Qin Yin looked away and took out her phone: "I suddenly forgot something just now, and I was thinking about what it was."

"Have you thought of it?"

"I've got it. You go in first, I'll go in later," Qin Yin said. "Otherwise, I'll forget again."

"Alright, I'll head back now. I have an appointment to go to the library later." Nie Xiaomei didn't seem to care much. It's normal to have something come up unexpectedly. She just wanted to try something different today. Since Qiao Jiajia had something to do, it was just her and Qin Yin who came out to eat together.

Watching Nie Xiaomei walk towards the school, Qin Yin walked in another direction. There was a small milk tea shop there. She chose a seat with a view outside and ordered a milk tea.

There is a coffee shop directly opposite.

The milk tea was ready, and she slowly drank it, her gaze never leaving the entrance of the coffee shop.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she saw a familiar face coming out of the coffee shop. She quickly shifted her position to avoid being seen.

Actually, it's perfectly normal for Xia Zhen to go to any occasion. Qin Yin doesn't know what's wrong with her, but she wants to secretly hide here and watch.

"She has many tricks up her sleeve. Although we know Miss Xia is formidable, we still need to be careful."

"I'll let you know when there's any new information," Ling Huan said.

It was only a few minutes' walk from the school, so A-Zhu didn't ask the driver to wait there.

She agreed to Ling Huan's words and started to walk towards the school, only to find that Ling Huan was still following her. She turned her head to look at him.

Ling Huan said calmly, "I'll escort Miss Xia to the school gate. I just remembered something I hadn't finished saying."

If Xia Zhen and Lian Yang were truly in a legitimate boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, he definitely wouldn't have done this.

That's not the case now. What's wrong with him taking a couple more steps?
With the excuse all prepared, Azhen naturally wouldn't refuse.

but……

She glanced casually at the milk tea shop across the street, and although Qin Yin dodged quickly, she still caught her.

Are you spying on her?
“Okay,” A-Zhen looked away, a smile playing on her lips, and asked, “Is there anything else you’ve forgotten?”

Qin Yin's heart was pounding as she hid. After a while, she looked outside and could only see the backs of Xia Zhen and the strange man. She breathed a slight sigh of relief. They probably hadn't been seen, otherwise Xia Zhen would definitely have greeted her.

She stood up with her milk tea in her hand and followed behind at a leisurely pace, as if she hadn't noticed the familiar person in front of her.

Unexpectedly, the people around Ling Huan noticed something was wrong and whispered to Ling Huan that someone was following them. Because they knew about Azhen's situation, the assistant knew that the person following them was Qin Yin.

“Miss Xia, your roommate Qin Yin seems to be secretly following us. Is there anything we can do?” Ling Huan moved slightly closer to A-Zhen and lowered his voice.

A-Zhen had overheard what the assistant was saying. Ling Huan was quite direct. She shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it. She's interested in Lian Yang. She probably saw me with you and couldn't help but wonder what was going on."

It's just normal psychology.

Ling Huan understood this mentality, of course. Since Miss Xia didn't care, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.

"I wonder how Miss Xia plans to handle Lian Yang's matter?" Ling Huan asked. "Once things are settled, Yun Xiuzi will definitely be arrested. Even if Miss Xia doesn't do anything more to Lian Yang, when he's gone one day, others will probably still say that no matter what his mother did, he didn't wrong Miss Xia."

In Ling Huan's view, this was not a good thing. It was clearly all a scheme by Lian Yang and his mother, yet they still managed to leave him with a good reputation.

"It will be difficult to get them to admit to using Gu poison. Even if they do admit it, the authorities are unlikely to disclose information about Gu poison proactively. Such matters are too bizarre and have a negative impact; they might even block the news."

From the official perspective, there was no need to make this matter public.

Even though Lian Yang is dead and Yun Xiuzi is arrested, it doesn't affect Xia Zhen's daily life. But these kinds of things still make people feel uncomfortable.

There might even be people stirring up trouble, saying that the Xia family is disowning Lian Yang and his mother because of what happened to them.

"You don't need to worry about that, Young Master Ling. I've already made plans." Azhen wouldn't let Lian Yang have it so easy. "The matter of using Gu is hard to say, but what about using drugs? I'll find an opportunity to make Lian Yang admit that he's after my Xia family's assets. You can fill in the rest of the details yourselves."

It wasn't a difficult task, and hearing her say that, Ling Huan felt relieved. He thought to himself that on that day, he would find someone to help stir up trouble and make sure more people knew that Lian Yang wanted to take advantage of the family.

To prevent those who are unaware of the truth from thinking that Xia Zhen is heartless.

"I have arrived."

Azhen stopped and looked at Ling Huan with a puzzled expression: "Young Master Ling said he had something else to say, is it what we just talked about?"

Ling Huan paused for a moment, then nodded without changing his expression: "Since Miss Xia is already prepared, then I'll be leaving."

Ling Huan turned and left, getting into his car a short distance away.

But the car didn't drive away immediately; through the car window, he looked at the people at the school gate.

A-Zhu glanced in that direction, laughed out loud, and then turned and went into the school.

Qin Yin followed them into the school gate, but couldn't help glancing at the car that looked unassuming but was definitely not cheap.

Who is that handsome young man, and what is his relationship with Xia Zhen?
She always felt that the way this man looked at Xia Zhen was unusual.

The two were chatting and laughing, clearly very familiar with each other. Could they be family friends of the Xia family?
Or perhaps they want to form a marriage alliance with the Xia family?

Now that they know Lian Yang is sick, they want to take advantage of his weakness?

When Xia Zhen had her accident and was devastated, it was Lian Yang who encouraged her. Now that Lian Yang is sick, Xia Zhen shouldn't be so heartless as to abandon him, right?
If that's really the case, she won't just stand by and watch!

Not long after A-Lan returned to her dormitory, Qin Yin came back. Although Qin Yin tried her best to hide it, A-Lan could still tell that something was wrong with Qin Yin's mood. Without even thinking, she knew what Qin Yin was thinking.

To be honest, putting everything else aside, besides offering a few words of encouragement to the client, what did Lian Yang really do?

Why does it sound like the client owes Lian Yang a huge favor?

Even without Lian Yang, with Xia Jinsheng present, the client, no matter how depressed or unwilling to go out, wouldn't actually choose to end their life. No matter how bad the red marks on their face looked, it didn't mean they couldn't live.

Only Lian Yang knew that her body would become weaker and weaker.

Even without his care, can't the client's family afford a high-end caregiver? The more money they pay, the more attentive they'll be with.

People at the school say that Lian Yang is a hopeless romantic, implying that the client is not good enough for him and that Lian Yang is being wronged by being with her.
