Chapter 788: Chapter 791: Just One Day Chapter 788: Chapter 791: Just One Day Every word pierced the heart, every sentence was from the depths of the soul.

It almost sounded like there was some truth to it. The simple minded Liu Yiyi had actually believed her lies.

“You!” Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi exclaimed, “Is… is all this true?”

“Of course it’s true!” Madam Liu eagerly raised her hand and said, “I swear, if I speak a word of falsehood, may I be struck by lightning when I leave the house. If you don’t believe me, I… I can swear on my most beloved son. If I’m lying, may my son not die a good death!”

“Don’t…” Liu Yiyi hastily stopped her oath, saying, “Never mind, I believe you!”

“Yiyi, good girl, you must never tell your father about this,” Madam Liu pleaded with Liu Yiyi, “Otherwise, he will be very heartbroken. It’s alright if he drives me away; after all, my death is no loss. But I don’t want your father to be heartbroken.”

“Mm!” Liu Yiyi nodded and said, “But after this, don’t continue betraying my father. He’s such a good man!”

“Don’t worry, after this incident, I’ve cut ties with Qin Xiaotian,” Madam Liu hurriedly claimed. “You can rest assured about that.”

Seeing Madam Liu speak so sincerely, Liu Yiyi actually believed her.

In the end, she didn’t even know how she left the villa.

Upon leaving the villa, Liu Yiyi felt that her stepmother had it tough, silently enduring such immense pressure. Little did she know that all this was nothing but her stepmother’s deceit. In reality, her relationship with Qin Xiaotian had been fueled by her own greed, jealousy, and malice. If it wasn’t for her desire to push Liu Yiyi into the fire pit, how could things have developed to this point?

………..

As Liu Yiyi left the villa, Madam Liu watched her departure with a malicious expression creeping across her face.

“This bitch!” Madam Liu hissed through clenched teeth, “How dare she come to me for reckoning?”

At her side, the maid hurriedly said, “Madam, the fruit is ready.”

“Put it down!” Madam Liu glared at her and said, “Put down the fruit, then you can get lost!”

“Yes!” The maid swiftly set down the fruit and left.

Watching the maid leave, Madam Liu immediately started to call Qin Xiaotian. Since he had caused this mess, it was naturally up to him to resolve it. Otherwise, she couldn’t swallow her anger. The phone connected.

“Qin Xiaotian, Liu Yiyi just came to see me,” Madam Liu said through gritted teeth. “She already knows about it, now tell me, what should we do?”

“What do you mean what should we do?” Qin Xiaotian asked, puzzled.

“The matter is out in the open now,” Madam Liu said frantically, “If we don’t address it quickly, it will cause trouble.”

“What kind of trouble?” Qin Xiaotian retorted, “What’s that got to do with me!”

“You!” Madam Liu exclaimed, “You’re cutting me off without emotion.”

“Ha ha, don’t put it so unpleasantly,” Qin Xiaotian laughed, “Madam Liu, we are both just taking what we needed from each other. Moreover, has the affair not remained hidden?”

“If we don’t find a way to shut Liu Yiyi up quickly, I fear things will really come to light,” Madam Liu said anxiously.

Qin Xiaotian frowned and said, “Then find a way to shut her mouth.”

“How do I shut her up?” Madam Liu asked.

“Let me think!” Qin Xiaotian hesitated, and even through the phone, his malevolent demeanor could be felt. After a silence, he grinned and said, “Didn’t you say that once a man has taken a woman’s first time, he would have her heart?”

“Yes!” Madam Liu nodded.

“Heh heh, in that case, we’ll find a way to take Liu Yiyi’s body,” Qin Xiaotian chuckled.

“That’s a good idea!” Madam Liu said upon hearing this, “Liu Yiyi’s first time should still be intact. When she came today, I could tell by the way she walked that she is still a maiden. However, Liu Yiyi won’t be easy to conquer, what do you plan on doing?”

“There’s always a way,” Qin Xiaotian smiled and said, “Trust me, there will be a way.”

“Mm!” Madam Liu nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Madam Liu revealed a relieved smile.

Qin Xiaotian was lounging on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, but his mind was racing. Earlier, he had given Hei Tie a deposit of five million, but now there was no word from him. Days had passed without any news, and something felt off. He wondered if he had been tricked.

At present, the Qin family finances were controlled by his elder brother Qin Jun, the family was in the hands of his old man Qin Jianguo, and he, despite bearing the title of the Qin family’s second young master, had nothing. Although he lived without worry for food and clothing, such a bland life truly felt like a curse.

After some thought, Qin Xiaotian decided to call Hei Tie to inquire about the situation; his five million couldn’t have been spent in vain.

He placed a call.

“Second young master, what do you need?” Hei Tie’s lazy voice came over the phone.

“Hei Tie, I’ve already given you a deposit of five million, why hasn’t there been any movement on your end?” Qin Xiaotian demanded, his tone betraying a sense of impatient disappointment.

“Hey, second young master, what’s the rush?” Hei Tie chuckled then said, “Master Zhang has to make preparations. Moreover, he has to fly over from Mount Emei, doesn’t that take time? And, convincing Master Zhang to act is not an easy feat, as he is a renowned master in the country.”

“Ah…” Qin Xiaotian was completely flabbergasted and asked, “Is… is that true?”

“Of course!” Hei Tie confirmed, “Rest assured, Master Zhang is absolutely top-notch here, so you can definitely trust him.”

“That’s good!” Qin Xiaotian considered for a moment, seeming to find some logic in it, and his mind was put at ease.

He hung up the phone.

Bang…

Hei Tie tossed the phone far away.

“Fuck, what the hell is this.” Hei Tie cursed, “He even dares to call and question the old man? He should take a piss and look at himself in the mirror to see who he is!”

“Brother, who was that?” A minion beside him asked.

“The Qin family’s second son,” Hei Tie said as he lounged with his legs crossed, playing with a dagger in his hand. “This damn thing, only his older brother is qualified to speak to me. Him, with nothing to back him up, what right does he have to question me? It’s just five million, why is he in such a rush? He should learn from his older brother, who wouldn’t bat an eyelid over a business deal worth hundreds of millions. He’s nowhere near his brother.”

“Exactly!” The minion nodded eagerly.

Beep beep beep…

No sooner had the phone been thrown away, it started ringing again.

“Brother, it’s him again!” The minion chuckled.

“This little fucker really…” Annoyed and embarrassed, Hei Tie was about to smash the phone, but then he thought better of it and said, “Shit, why should I take it out on my own phone?”

That said, he immediately answered the call.

Before long, Hei Tie had picked up the call and said, “Second son, you’d better have something to say this time, otherwise, I’m going to fall out with you.”

“I do, I do!” Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotian replied awkwardly, “I… I indeed have a favor to ask you!”

“Speak!” Hei Tie’s tone was very cold. Anyone would probably get angry with one phone call after another without end.

“I would like to ask your men for a favor!” Qin Xiaotian said. “I’ve taken a liking to a girl recently and would like to borrow a few of your men!”

“Oh, I thought it was serious!” Hei Tie’s tone eased somewhat and he said, “Fine, but my men aren’t free, fifty thousand for one man per day. How many do you need?”

“Four,” Qin Xiaotian figured, counting on his fingers. “Just for one day!”

“Fine!” Hei Tie nodded and said, “Just give them the money later.”

“No problem!” Qin Xiaotian immediately nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Hei Tie put down his cellphone and said, “This idiot’s money is fucking easy to earn.”

“Hahaha…” The minion laughed. “Yeah, the street rate is five thousand a day, and this guy’s okay with fifty thousand for a day.”

“Hmph!” Hei Tie snorted coldly.

Qin Xiaotian was also feeling secretly joyful on his end; as long as Hei Tie was willing to help, then even if he ended up provoking Xiao Han, he would have Hei Tie’s support. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Jianquan rushed from the hotel to Shuimu University to find Xiao Han.

“Ancestor, are you ready?” Zhou Jianquan called Xiao Han at the school gate early in the morning.

At seven in the morning, Xiao Han turned over and said, “Wait for me!”

After hanging up, Xiao Han turned over and continued to sleep.

This sleep lasted another hour, during which, incredibly, the phone made no sound. It was only after Xiao Han woke up that he remembered in shock that Zhou Jianquan had called him; Xiao Han quickly got up and then rushed to get washed. Ignoring the questions from his dorm mates, he hurriedly ran out.

Once out the door, he swiftly headed straight for the school gates.

Upon arriving, Xiao Han finally saw Zhou Jianquan anxiously waiting under the blazing sun.

“You!” Xiao Han, both exasperated and amused, said, “Why didn’t you call me?”

“Didn’t you ask me to wait for you?” Zhou Jianquan said with a look of grievance.

“If I didn’t come out, were you planning to wait until tomorrow morning?” Xiao Han asked sternly.

“I…” Zhou Jianquan looked at Xiao Han awkwardly.

“Hurry up, we’re going to miss the flight!” Xiao Han said helplessly.

After that, Zhou Jianquan quickly hailed a taxi to the airport.

With some rushing, they finally made it to the airport in time, and they weren’t late. With no luggage, they smoothly passed the security check and quickly boarded the plane. Once on the plane, Xiao Han was dumbfounded.

“Sect Leader Zhou, you’re a sect leader after all, and yet… yet you booked economy class?” Xiao Han said wryly.

“What’s wrong with economy class?” Zhou Jianquan smiled. “It’s just an hour and a half flight. It’ll be over quickly.”
