Chapter 827 - 820: Fear and Trembling
Qi Hui struggled fiercely, but she didn’t have much strength and was quickly subdued by the police.
The police cuffed Qi Hui’s arms, shouting for her to behave.
Old Qi looked at his daughter crying, "Xiao Hui, I’ve thought long and hard, and I still believe that you can’t continue down this path. There’s still time to turn back! Don’t worry, I’ll be waiting for you outside, and when you come out, I’ll continue to take care of you!"
"I don’t want you to take care of me! I don’t have a father like you! Everyone has betrayed me, and I thought you wouldn’t! But it turns out you’re the one who hurt me the most! You lied to me! You handed me over to the police yourself!"
Qi Hui’s face was contorted, and it was hard to tell if it was sweat or tears on her face.
"Enough, don’t say anymore! Talk to us back at the station!"
The police escorted Qi Hui out of the room, with Old Qi following behind forlornly. The commotion in the middle of the night had already attracted a crowd in the hotel corridor.
The hotel owner was even more terrified by the scene, realizing that the woman wasn’t some runaway wife, but a fugitive!
Upon learning the truth, the hotel owner felt like dying; it seemed like he would not only be fined but might also face a business suspension...
The police escorted Qi Hui past the hotel owner, who spat at her without hesitation, muttering, "Such bad luck! A wretch ruining others and herself!"
The words "wretch" seemed to touch the most sensitive spot in Qi Hui’s heart, and she immediately went insane, lunging at the owner.
This sudden situation startled the owner, who took a step back, lost his balance, and sat on the floor.
With police holding her back, Qi Hui’s body and limbs couldn’t get close to the hotel owner. She screamed hysterically, "I’m not a wretch! I’m not!"
Until the police escorted Qi Hui away from the corridor, the hotel owner slowly got up, supporting himself against the wall, "What a lunatic..."
Approaching midnight, Bai Yiran hadn’t put on any sleepwear. Ever since Leng Yichen left, she returned to nights where she had to run to get through.
Coming out of the gym, Bai Yiran grabbed a towel to head to the bathroom when her phone rang. It was Anna calling to inform her that Qi Hui had also been captured.
She said "Mm" and hung up the phone; aside from news about Leng Yichen, nothing was enough to disturb her emotions now.
Bai Yiran picked up some clothes and entered the bathroom for a quick shower. Coming out, she looked at the enormous double bed but didn’t want to lie down...
In the morning, Sister Liu was up the earliest. Ever since Xiao Xi arrived, the first thing she did every day was check on Xiao Xi’s room. The rooms were connected, so Sister Liu could easily access the nursery by going through the middle door.
Upon opening the door, she found Bai Yiran sleeping there.
Hearing the noise, Bai Yiran crawled up from Xiao Xi’s little bed, rubbing her eyes as she looked at Sister Liu, "Sister Liu, you’re awake."
"You slept here last night?"
"Yes." Bai Yiran nodded, "The bedroom bed is too big, I can’t get used to sleeping alone."
Bai Yiran spoke lightly, as if nothing was wrong, grabbing the already awake but pouting Xiao Xi, "Awake, my girl!"
Seeing her mother, Xiao Xi’s chubby little hand aimed straight for her chest, and her pouting mouth broke into a smile.
Sister Liu knew Bai Yiran was trying to be strong. Numerous times when she got up at night to check on the child, she could hear the crying coming from the gym.
Even Mr. Leng doesn’t know where he is gone. Do you realize what Yiran is enduring every single day?
