Chapter 938 - 930 Mysterious
So the conversation between the two came to a pause, and before leaving, Liu Rui gave Xiao Yifei a detailed plan, asking him to review it thoroughly. Xiao Yifei then took his leave. Just before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, "When will you release President Qian? He is innocent."
"He should already be home by now. If you don’t believe me, you can call to confirm," Liu Rui replied, reverting back to his usual cold tone.
Xiao Yifei didn’t say anything more and left.
Once home, he called President Qian. Initially, he wanted to call Qian Huahua, but decided against it given their awkward relationship. Although nothing had actually happened, Xiao Yifei felt it was odd. Besides, if Tang Rong found out, it wouldn’t be good; less trouble was better than more.
Unexpectedly, when the call connected, it was Qian Huahua who answered, saying, "My dad got home an hour ago. He wasn’t harmed, and he seemed in good spirits, but he’s asleep now. If it’s important, I can wake him up."
"It’s nothing urgent. I just called to confirm if President Qian got home safely. Since he’s alright, I’ll hang up now," Xiao Yifei said. With nothing else to discuss, he didn’t see the need to prolong the conversation with Qian Huahua.
"Xiao Yifei, I..." Qian Huahua paused for a while before finally saying, "Xiao Yifei, I’m sorry."
"It’s okay. I would have done the same in your place. Besides, it’s all in the past now. Let’s leave it at that," Xiao Yifei replied, his tone polite but distant, then hung up the phone.
On the matter of what Qian Huahua did under those circumstances, after learning the truth, Xiao Yifei took time to think it over calmly. He understood why she acted the way she did; in such a situation, anyone would probably make the same choice.
If it had been his grandfather who was kidnapped instead, Xiao Yifei would have risked his life to save him. After all, family is irreplaceable.
