Chapter 613: Abandoning her own flesh and blood!
Qin Yan’s heart plummeted as she heard Butler Lin’s frantic voice over the phone. Fire in the Moonlight villa, Xi Xiaobao trapped inside. Time stopped as panic flooded her senses, but she quickly gathered her wits. With adrenaline coursing through her veins, she dashed from the press conference.
Taking over the car from the Nie family’s driver, she drove herself to reach the villa as soon as possible. The sleek black car tore through the city streets, slicing through the evening with urgency. Qin Yan’s mind raced with thoughts of Xi Xiaobao, each passing second felt like an eternity as she prayed fervently for the safety of the little one.
On the other side, in the tranquil elegance of Madam Xi’s drawing-room, Liu Ying sat opposite Madam Xi, her posture poised and graceful. The servant poured the steaming tea into porcelain cups with practiced grace, her movements fluid and precise.
The two ladies were enjoying the warmth of the tea as well as each other’s company when Liu Ying got a call from Auntie He. Liu Ying’s delicate fingers trembled as she held the phone to her ear, her mind reeling at the news. As her complexion drained of color, Madam Xi’s keen eyes caught the shift in atmosphere.
"Liu Ying, what’s the matter?" Madam Xi’s voice was gentle, yet laced with concern.
Liu Ying struggled to find her voice, her lips parting but no words escaping. The weight of the news threatened to crush her, leaving her speechless and paralyzed with fear.
Sensing Liu Ying’s distress, Madam Xi reached out and gently took the phone from her trembling hands. With a furrowed brow, she listened intently to the voice on the other end of the line. As the details of the fire and Xi Xiaobao’s plight unfolded, a look of alarm crossed Madam Xi’s features.
Without hesitation, Madam Xi sprang into action. With a firmness in her voice that brooked no argument, she turned to Liu Ying and said, "Let’s go immediately."
With a nod of agreement, Liu Ying found her voice, the terror still evident in her eyes. Together, they hurriedly made their way to the Moonlight villa.
