Chapter 446 - 448: Stealing Meat_1
Qin Baby lowered his eyes and didn’t look at her.
Li Qiao smiled and said, "When my older sister came earlier, he acted the same way."
"Jingyi said he only agrees to be held by young, beautiful women. Is that true?"
Li Qiao: "How could that be? Our maid is a middle-aged woman, and there’s also the auntie next door. He lets them hold him too. Baby just doesn’t want to be close with you all because he’s not familiar."
Yu Xiu reached out to touch his little hand and found that his sleeve was sealed: "Oh, these are sleeve covers? You really come up with ideas to keep out the cold."
Li Qiao: "It’s been cold these past few days."
After some small talk, Yu Xiu brought up the matter of Mrs. Cai coming over to apologize: "She said you sent her. How did you manage her, making her listen to you like that? My parents harshly mocked her quite a bit, it was truly satisfying."
Li Qiao smiled: "Serves her right!" She recounted how Cai Hechuan poisoned her in Beijing: "Thankfully it was cold, and only my eyes were exposed, so I didn’t breathe in much of the poison. Otherwise, I’d be lying down like Li Jinhua now, needing someone to take care of me."
Yu Xiu shuddered: "He’s already married, what was he after? I don’t get it. He was a bit disgusting before, but not like this. It must be that his marriage is unhappy now, and he’s started thinking about your good qualities again. He poisoned you, how come he wasn’t arrested?"
Li Qiao’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Nowadays, it’s all about eyewitness and physical evidence. Just my word without evidence, and if he doesn’t confess, plus without finding any witnesses, of course he’d be let go." She had thought of this when she saw Cai Hechuan.
"He got off too easy." Yu Xiu then said, "After the New Year, I’m planning to work in Beijing at the Cultural Center, probably on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
