Don't meet me in your next life.

When Xiao Qing brought over the hot milk, Xiang Yi had just finished encouraging herself.

"Alright, get up. If you're unhappy, let's move to another place. I'll go with you," Xiao Qing said.

"Let's talk about it after the baby is born," Xiang Yi said, touching her belly.

She wanted to leave, but she couldn't because of Lu Sichen.

"Alright then, let's look forward to the arrival of the baby." Xiao Qing smiled and touched her belly.

Seemingly sensing Xiao Qing's touch, Yi Yi's belly swelled up, sometimes here, sometimes there.

“Look, he’s kicking me,” Xiang Yi said with a smile.

"You little rascal, you're already so naughty even before you're born. Be careful, your godmother will spank you after you're born," Xiao Qing teased with a laugh.

The two laughed and joked. Xiao Qing secretly glanced at Xiang Yiyi, as if the unpleasantness from just a moment ago had already passed.

"Go to sleep, I'm a little tired," Xiang Yi said with a smile.

The two of them fell into a deep sleep.

This is the Lin Group.

Lin Lubai was lying back in his chair in the office. The situation between him and Su Qiaoqiao had become too big for him to handle.

"Mr. Lin, I've checked with the front desk. What happened that day was indeed an accident." This was what Xiao Zhao relayed to him, and it seemed there was nothing fishy going on.

But Lin Lubai always felt that something was wrong.

"Did you get the surveillance footage from that day?"

"I got it. I've already had the public relations department analyze it," Xiao Zhao said.

"Let me see," Lin Lubai said.

In the video, Lin Lubai was helped to the door of the room, looking quite drunk.

“No,” Lin Lubai said, “I don’t look right, and my face is too red.”

Lin Lubai tried hard to recall what happened that day. It seemed that he hadn't drunk himself into unconsciousness, but in the video, he appeared to be unconscious.

"Check again to see if anyone has tampered with my wine."

Lin Lubai's phone rang, and he saw that it was his grandfather calling.

"Okay, I'll go check it now." Xiao Zhao glanced at it, then turned and left.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Xiaobai, come back tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you."

"Grandpa, I'm a little tied up right now." Lin Lubai guessed what was going on.

"Don't run away, come back. A real man should take responsibility," Lin Lubai's father-in-law said.

"Okay, I'll go back tomorrow." Lin Lubai had no choice but to agree.

Lin Lubai was at his wits' end about this matter, but his grandfather's words made sense.

Lin Lubai lay in bed, trying hard to recall what had happened during the day.

But regardless of whether he touched Su Qiaoqiao or not, this matter will not end easily.

Was he and Xiang Yi really destined for this, or destined to be kept in the dark? His heart felt like it was being torn apart, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness gave him a terrible headache.

"Boss, I tried to block the news, but it's basically useless. Tomorrow's front pages will probably all be about this." This was a call from Zhang Che, the public relations manager, half an hour ago.

Yes, the influence of the internet is terrifying; no matter how rich you are, you can't control it.

It was already past 11 p.m., and Lin Lubai didn't dare to call Xiang Yiyi, so he could only send her a message.

"have you slept?"

Five minutes passed, and there was no response.

"Did you see the message?" Before even pressing send, Lin Lubai realized how stupid his question was. If she wasn't asleep, why wouldn't she reply?

Unable to sleep, he got up and drove around, mainly wanting to see Xiang Yiyi.

After only two days apart, Lin Lubai felt that Xiang Yiyi was all he could think about.

Unable to suppress his longing, Lin Lubai ran wildly all the way.

When he arrived downstairs at Xiang Yi's apartment, he was even a little excited, but unfortunately, the lights in Xiang Yi's room were off.

Lin Lubai picked up a cigarette, rolled down the car window, and started smoking when his uncle called him.

"Xiaobai, it's not true that you slept with Su Qiaoqiao, is it?" the uncle asked bluntly.

"I don't know, I was drunk at the time," Lin Lubai said with a dejected look.

"You were set up by the Su family, weren't you?" the uncle said.

"The Su family?" Lin Lubai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"See? They say those involved are often blinded by their own interests. Tell me, who benefits the most from this? Who most wants to achieve this goal?" his uncle reminded him.

"You mean Su Qiaoqiao?" Lin Lubai asked, his eyes dark.

“I’m not sure, but I’m certain that this matter is related to Su Qiaoqiao. Think about it, you were doing well in Shashi back then, and it was her grandfather who came to find your maternal grandfather that put her by your side.”

"Then you got engaged, and now you probably want her to marry you."

His uncle analyzed it for him.

Lin Lubai suddenly realized: "Yes, it's possible that the Su family is behind all of this. Although the Su family seems clean on the surface, Su Qiaoqiao is the one who really benefits."

"Perhaps you have something that the Su family wants?" his uncle reminded him again.

What does the Su family want? Lin Lubai pondered for a moment.

“If it were Su Mingli, he would probably want the dock rights in Africa. But Su Mingli and I have a pretty good relationship, so it's unlikely,” Lin Lubai said to his uncle. “It’s more likely to be Su Mingli’s father or grandfather.”

“His father is abroad most of the time, so this matter is probably more related to his grandfather. Think about what his grandfather wants from you,” the uncle said.

"Could it be a cemetery? When I first got it, Su Mingli asked me about it. But I told him it was my grandfather's wish, and he didn't make things difficult for me."

“When I visited the Su family last time, the patriarch of the Su family also asked me about the cemetery.”

“Perhaps this is it,” the uncle said. “Think it over carefully. Whether you get married or not, I don’t think this cemetery can be saved.”

"Hmm, I'll have to think about it," Xiaobai said.

"Okay, we'll talk again when you've thought it through and come back tomorrow." My uncle chuckled. "I'm going to bed now."

"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Lin Lubai pondered for a long time. He figured this was the Su family's doing, but using their own child as a pawn was chilling.

Lin Lubai opened his phone book and dialed Xiao Zhao's number.

“Xiao Zhao, I suspect the Su family is behind this incident. Investigate Su Mingli and Su Qiaoqiao; what happened that night should be related to them.”

"No way, boss, Su Qiaoqiao is the victim in this. If she did it, wouldn't that be pushing herself and the Su family into a fire pit?" Xiao Zhao felt that the matter had nothing to do with them.

"But they're the ones who benefit too. Whether I marry Su Qiaoqiao or not, they'll still have the leverage to ask me for things, won't they?" Lin Lubai analyzed.

"That's true. I'll check on their recent situation tomorrow and report back to you," Xiao Zhao said.

“Okay, the key point is Su Mingli,” Lin Lubai said. “Oh, and his grandfather too. See if they’ve been trading any drugs or transferring money to any random people lately.”

"Okay, I'll take care of it tomorrow, don't worry." Xiao Zhao is very smart and quick to understand, so Lin Lubai doesn't need to worry about him.

It seems there's a turning point in things. If they insist on using money, then so be it.

Thinking about all this, Lin Lubai felt a little better, and he drove home, humming a tune.
