Chapter 541: Being Underestimated

Of course, she was no clairvoyant.
Yan Jinyu chuckled.
She only sensed that there was something wrong with Little Rain’s voice. The echo was very loud, so she should not be in school, but in some room or private room that was more soundproof.
Besides, Little Rain was not surprised when she mentioned that Murong Xi was looking for trouble with Yu Xiao. She did not even ask her if Yu Xiao was safe now.
This meant that Little Rain knew that Huo Xiao was in trouble and that Yu Xiao was safe now.
1
It was normal for Little Rain to know that something had happened to Huo Xiao. She did not tell Little Rain, but Meimei probably told Little Rain about this.
However, Little Rain did not ask her if Yu Xiao was safe now. It meant that she was with Meimei.
The reason was very simple. Other than the three people here and Yin Jiujin, who she had contacted and asked to send someone to clean up the aftermath, only Meimei knew that Yu Xiao was fine.
In addition, there were always faint “hmm” sounds coming from Little Rain’s side.
Since Murong Xi had attacked her cousin because of her resentment towards her, then as Qin Hao’s fiancée that Murong Xi coveted, Little Rain would probably be in trouble very soon.
It was not difficult to guess that there would be trouble soon and she happened to hear the sound of someone’s mouth being gagged.
“I’ll hang up first. I’ll contact you later.”
After saying that, Yan Jinyu was about to hang up when she suddenly glanced at Feng Qin from the rearview mirror and asked, “Meimei is beside you, right?”
“Yes.” Huo Siyu was puzzled.
Xi Fengling was equally puzzled.
Looking for her?
“Beauty Yu, what’s the matter?”
Feng Qin had stayed with them for a while and knew who the “Meimei” Yan Jinyu was talking about was.
Hearing her mention the word “Meimei”, she quickly retracted her gaze from the car window and pricked up her ears to listen. She was curious about what Yan Jinyu wanted to say.
She was a little worried that they would talk about her.
It wasn’t that she was thinking too much and felt that Yan Jinyu would have the mood to interfere in her lousy matters, but it was only normal for Yan Jinyu to mention it when she saw her appear here in such a sorry state.
As for why she felt that Yan Jinyu knew what had happened to her, it wasn’t because she felt that Yan Jinyu would pay attention to her news.
In her opinion, someone like Yan Jinyu probably wouldn’t even pay attention to the news in the entertainment circle.
Even though Yan Jinyu used to say that she was her fan.
She just felt that Yan Jinyu had the ability to see through her when she saw her like this.
Feng Qin didn’t want her sister to interfere with what she could resolve.
It was not right to say that she did not want her sister to interfere. She just did not want her sister to know that she and Min Ting had such a relationship…
Even though her sister had probably seen through it long ago.
However, if no one exposed her, she could at least deceive herself.
She didn’t care about facing outsiders, but facing her family, she didn’t want them to see her unsavory side.
Feng Qin didn’t know about her older sister, but if her mother knew, she would definitely blame herself.
“Nothing. I just met your sister on the way. She happened to bump into my cousin being surrounded and was injured when she helped. I’ll send her to your villa in Jinghua now.”
Xi Fengling sat up straight. “Is she badly injured?”
“It’s a light injury. I’ve already helped her treat her wound simply. Nothing will happen. I just suddenly remembered and wanted to mention it to you.”
“Alright, Beauty Yu, send her over. I’ll visit her at Jinghua later.”
“Mm-hm.” Yan Jinyu hung up.
Xi Fengling quickly took out her phone to check the entertainment news.
She knew Beauty Yu well. If Little Feng Qin was only slightly injured and she had treated her wound, she wouldn’t have specially mentioned it to her.
Even if she wanted to mention it, she should have mentioned it when she sent her a message just now.
She was probably talking about something else.
Moreover, Beauty Yu said that Little Feng Qin was avoiding the paparazzi.
She investigated Yu Xiao’s whereabouts personally and knew which area Yu Xiao was in.
Little Feng Qin was a popular star in the entertainment circle after all. Why would she hide in such a place when she was avoiding the paparazzi? She even needed Beauty Yu to send her to Jinghua personally.
In that case, Little Feng Qin was probably alone. Not to mention a bodyguard, she probably didn’t even have an assistant with her.
It was not normal for such a thing to happen to a popular starlet.
She checked her phone and saw earth-shattering news.
It was all negative and there were even five headlines!
Seeing that her expression was getting more and more serious, Huo Siyu sneered at Murong Xi, who was making a sound, “Shut up! Otherwise, I’ll make you never be able to speak right now!”
Murong Xi was shocked and trembled. She finally knew her place.
Huo Siyu then asked, “Sister Fengling, what happened?”
Xi Fengling handed the phone to her. Huo Siyu roughly glanced at it and knew the general situation.
“How should we settle this?”
Others didn’t know if it was true or not, but they knew very well.
Even without a clear investigation, with their perception, they could guess their relationship when they saw Min Ting and Feng Qin interacting.
The others didn’t interfere because with Xi Fengling around, it wasn’t their place to interfere.
Xi Fengling didn’t care much because Feng Qin was an adult and had her own decisions. There was no need for her to interfere.
Of course, more importantly, Xi Fengling trusted Min Ting’s character.
Although it was said that Feng Qin was kept by Min Ting, other than the agreement between them, in Xi Fengling’s opinion, it was actually similar to being in a relationship.
Min Ting had never interacted with any women before Feng Qin.
Feng Qin was still his first woman.
If the two of them had feelings for each other then, the so-called sugar daddy and sugar baby relationship would no longer be important. If they had no feelings for each other, they would just treat it as a breakup in love.
“I’ll call Min Ting.”
Xi Fengling didn’t have any emotions. She wasn’t angry over this.
Firstly, her relationship with Feng Qin was not deep enough for her to pity Feng Qin. Most importantly, Feng Qin’s experience was not considered tragic, and Feng Qin did not meet a jerk who had countless women around him.
Secondly, this negative news might be enough to destroy Feng Qin in the eyes of some people in the entertainment circle, but in Xi Fengling’s eyes, it was just a small matter that could be easily resolved. She could also use this opportunity to make Feng Qin even more famous.
Hence, she was neither worried nor angry.
The call was picked up very quickly.
“Boss Xi.”
Without waiting for Xi Fengling to speak, Min Ting spoke first. His tone was no longer cynical and sounded very serious, as if he had grown up a lot in an instant.
He said, “Boss Xi, I know why you called. I’ll settle this.”
“If I remember correctly, Little Feng Qin is an artist under your company. This news has been going on for a day and a night. With Little Feng Qin’s status, it’s unreasonable that your company hasn’t done anything.”
“It’s my decision that the company doesn’t take any actions. Boss Xi, don’t worry. I have my own intentions.”
When Xi Fengling heard that, she crossed her seductive legs and leaned lazily on the sofa behind her. “You’ve fallen for Little Feng Qin.”
His tone was affirmative.
Min Ting was silent.
“As Little Feng Qin’s sister, I’m happy that someone is sincere to her, but Third Young Master Min, don’t you think you’re going overboard? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll suffer in the end?”
“Boss Xi, I think you might have misunderstood something.”
“I didn’t expose this news. Someone wanted to harm Feng Qin. I just let this matter continue to develop and use it to achieve my goal.”
“Actually, before this happened, I had been very conflicted. I didn’t know what to do. I used the wrong method previously and didn’t dare to appear in front of her again. Coincidentally, this news exposed us and gave me hope again.”
“I admit that this is indeed a little overboard, but I’ll definitely settle it. You can rest assured.”
“If I didn’t go so overboard, I can’t keep her either…”
The last sentence was said very softly like a whisper to himself.
However, Xi Fengling heard it.
She was a little interested. “Then, let me ask presumptuously, how does Third Young Master Min intend to settle this matter?”
“There’s no such thing as a kept relationship as mentioned on the Internet. We’re officially boyfriend and girlfriend.”
Xi Fengling paused and chuckled charmingly, “Third Young Master Min, are you planning to unilaterally announce our relationship so that you can trap Little Feng Qin?”
Huo Siyu didn’t say anything and listened quietly.
Actually, Sister Fengling looked a little angry.
“There’s nothing wrong with saying that. I have to let others know that she’s mine and let those people who have designs on her dispel their thoughts first. As for the future, it’ll be easier to pursue her without a love rival.”
With Feng Qin’s looks and personality, Xi Fengling was not surprised that she had other suitors.
He just didn’t expect that the dignified Third Young Master of the Min Family, who had a good background and looks, would actually guard against others from coming to snatch Feng Qin from him.
In the entertainment circle, even the currently popular young actors were not as good-looking as Min Ting.
“Third Young Master Min, with my understanding of Little Feng Qin, she might not cooperate with you in front of the media.”
Xi Fengling didn’t object to Min Ting putting Feng Qin in his territory because she could tell that Feng Qin treated Min Ting differently too.
A person who didn’t want to be controlled by the Feng Family and wanted to walk out to seek her own life. It was so difficult when she first entered the entertainment circle and she didn’t even take such a shortcut. However, after she became successful in her career, she gave in to Min Ting to maintain that relationship…
It was undeniable that Min Ting could indeed provide Feng Qin with some resources, but with Feng Qin’s experience, even without Min Ting’s help, her resources would not be too bad.
However, she still gave in to Min Ting.
Of course, part of the reason why Feng Qin agreed was because she was afraid of offending Min Ting and cutting off her acting career as Min Ting was her boss.
However, if she really had no feelings for Min Ting, she might not really compromise.
Feng Qin didn’t compromise even when the Feng Family forced her.
Xi Fengling didn’t believe that Feng Qin didn’t have any feelings for Min Ting.
“That’s fine. I’ll announce to the world that I did something wrong. We broke up and I’m trying to get her back. Boss Xi, don’t worry. I won’t let her become the target of the netizens’ attacks. She must be the weak one in the eyes of the netizens.”
“Boss Xi, I know Feng Qin isn’t an orphan who has no one to rely on. She has a backer who is very capable. I won’t act rashly. I’m more familiar with the entertainment circle, so I’ll settle it myself. Please don’t interfere.”
“Since Third Young Master Min has already said so much, if I say anything more, I’ll be breaking up your relationship. I heard that Little Feng Qin was injured when she was hiding from the paparazzi. She’s in my villa now.”
After saying that, Xi Fengling hung up.
She gave them a hand.
As for whether he could grasp the opportunity, it would depend on Min Ting himself.
Min Ting was actually a good candidate as a partner for Little Feng Qin.
Min Ting’s father, Min Xiangbei, had not had a woman by his side for many years after his wife passed away. Min Ting should not be too bad either.
Even if Huo Siyu didn’t hear what Min Ting said, she could roughly tell what was going on from Xi Fengling’s words.
She didn’t ask further.
She only looked at Murong Xi, who was under her feet, and asked Xi Fengling, “Sister Fengling, what should we do with this person? Beauty Yu means to not let her die too quickly.”
“Actually, even if Beauty Yu doesn’t say it, I won’t let her die too easily.”
“There’s a basement in the bar,” Xi Fengling said.
“However, Little Rain, why did you appear in Mei Feng Bar and how did you happen to meet such a person and capture her? Could it be that she originally planned to attack you at Mei Feng Bar and lure you here?”
Towards the end of the question, Xi Fengling’s tone was a little mocking, as if she was mocking Murong Xi’s stupidity.
Xi Fengling had actually just arrived.
She heard from someone that Huo Siyu was here and something seemed to have happened here.
Huo Siyu had already restrained Murong Xi when she arrived.
Hearing Xi Fengling’s slightly mocking tone, Huo Siyu also felt that it was very funny.
Roughly speaking…
This was what happened.
An hour ago, Huo Siyu was in school. She was about to go to class after her lunch break when she received a message.
The rough content of the message was that Qin Hao appeared at Mei Feng Bar with a woman. They looked intimate and it seemed like the two of them had drunk a little.
There were only two people in the private room. It asked Huo Siyu to come over quickly. If she came late, the two of them would probably get it on in the private room…
Of course, Huo Siyu didn’t believe her. She used her hacking skills and found out that the person who sent her the message was Murong Xi.
She immediately felt that Murong Xi was simply too weak. She had severely underestimated her, Huo Siyu.
She actually sent such a message with her own phone.
Since Murong Xi had sent her this message and had made a move after so many days, she must have made a lot of preparations.
Huo Siyu didn’t ignore it and called Qin Hao to confirm.
Qin Hao’s phone was switched off…
Now, Huo Siyu could not ignore this.
Qin Hao’s identity determined that his whereabouts could not be easily grasped by others. How did Murong Xi know that his phone would be switched off at that time?
Had she been monitoring Qin Hao?
Or was there a traitor beside Qin Hao?
Although the chances of both were very small, it was not impossible.
Hence, she left the school in a hurry and came to Mei Feng Bar.
Xi Fengling would not interfere since Huo Siyu had the right to check any surveillance in Mei Feng Bar.
Hence, she had checked the surveillance cameras before she came.
However, there were no surveillance cameras in the private room. Huo Siyu saw Murong Xi appear in Mei Feng Bar and enter a private room.
Since she didn’t see Qin Hao, it was even more unnecessary for her to contact Xi Fengling and ask her to help keep an eye on him first.
It was not that all the private rooms in Mei Feng Bar did not have surveillance cameras. They were specially targeted for different customers. When choosing a private room, the customers would indicate if there were surveillance cameras in the private room.
Because some customers needed surveillance cameras and some customers didn’t.
The private rooms were prepared for different guests.
Huo Siyu arrived at the bar.
She didn’t stop and walked straight to the private room.
As soon as they entered, Murong Xi, who was hiding behind the door, quickly locked the door and attacked Huo Siyu with a dagger.
She had the intention to kill Huo Siyu.
She thought that Huo Siyu was just an ordinary person. Even if she had some skills, she was no match for her, the eldest daughter of the Bruce Family.
She had been trained since she was young. Not to mention people with basic skills, even some people who had seen blood might not be her match. She was very confident about killing Huo Siyu.
Unfortunately…
She had underestimated Huo Siyu.
She was defeated by Huo Siyu in just two moves.
“You think you can kill me?”
Murong Xi, who was being restrained and pressed on the ground, had a look of disbelief. “No, it’s impossible! How can you beat me!”
“I’m one of the successors nurtured by the Bruce Family. I can escape the Bruce Family and the Jones Family and come here alone. How can I be defeated by you so easily?!”
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!”
