Chapter 194: Falling down during the argument
After dinner, night fell and the whole villa was shrouded in silence.
As usual, Deng Qiaoni walked into Huo Siqian's room with slightly heavy steps, ready to teach him to read.
Huo Yan was just about to ask about Qiao Qin's physical condition, but he had only taken a few steps when he was stopped by Lin Xingran.
Lin Xingran's eyes flickered, and he said seriously, "Brother Huo Yan, I have something very important to tell Qiao Qin."
Huo Yan shook his head helplessly, and had to stop and let Lin Xingran go.
He stood there, looking at Lin Xingran's hurriedly leaving back, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, his brows slightly frowned, wondering what secret there was between these two women.
Inside the room, Qiao Qin's face still had a bit of paleness as she had just recovered from a serious illness. She sat quietly on the bed, emitting a broken yet pitiful beauty, as if she was a piece of exquisite but slightly flawed porcelain.
Her slender fingers gently fiddled with the corner of the quilt, and the movement was as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples. The faint smile on the corner of her mouth was like the breeze in early spring, gentle and warm.
Lin Xingran walked into the room hurriedly and sat down gently beside the bed, moving cautiously as if she was afraid to break the tranquility in the room.
Her eyes were fixed on Qiao Qin, full of amazement and admiration, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Qin, with your outstanding looks and unique temperament, if you enter the entertainment industry, you will definitely be very popular!" As she spoke, she gently reached out her hand and slowly stroked Qiao Qin's hair, the action was full of concern and love.
After hearing this, Qiao Qin smiled softly. Her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and moving.
She shook her head gently, her voice as sweet as a nightingale singing in a valley: "I have no interest in the entertainment industry. I just want to live a peaceful and ordinary life."
Followed by.
The smile on Lin Xingran's face disappeared instantly, and his expression became serious and solemn.
She leaned forward slightly, approached Qiao Qin, and deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Sister Qin, what's going on with that Deng Qiao Ni?"
She frowned, her eyes full of confusion and worry, and stared at Qiao Qin closely, as if waiting for a crucial answer.
Qiao Qin sighed softly, her eyes became a little vague, as if she was lost in deep memories, and she slowly explained: "She was a poor girl whom I sponsored to study. Her mother remarried, and her father was a hopeless gambler who tried to force her to marry. She had no choice but to escape."
When Lin Xingran heard about Deng Qiaoni's rough life, she was silent for a long time. Her brows were tightly locked together, and she bit her lips unconsciously, feeling a surge of sympathy in her heart.
At the same time, similar difficult experiences she had experienced flashed through her mind one by one, making her feel even more depressed.
However, Lin Xingran quickly adjusted her mood and became extremely serious. She held Qiao Qin's hand tightly and said with a firm gaze, "Sister Qin, you must not let others take advantage of you just because you are kind."
Her tone was full of concern and worry, and her hands unconsciously increased their strength.
Qiao Qin didn't seem to care. She patted Lin Xingran's hand gently and said with a smile, "Xingran, don't think too much. I believe Huo Yan."
Lin Xingran frowned even more tightly and said anxiously: "Sister Qin, I can read people's eyes. Deng Qiaoni's look at Huo Yan is definitely not pure."
Qiao Qin frowned, interrupted her and said, "Xingran, stop talking. Deng Qiaoni will go back to school as soon as the summer vacation is over."
Hearing this, Lin Xingran relaxed a little. She leaned against the bed and let out a long sigh.
However, looking at Qiao Qin's simple and innocent appearance, Lin Xingran secretly swore in her heart that she must pay more attention to Qiao Qin. A hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she secretly made up her mind that she would never let anyone hurt Qiao Qin.
That night, the villa was brightly lit, as bright as day.
Lin Xingran walked downstairs from the room with a heavy heart, her brows furrowed, a hint of anxiety in her eyes, and the figure of Deng Qiaoni kept appearing in her mind.
At this moment, Deng Qiaoni, who came out to drink water, met her at the stairs. Their eyes met instantly, and Deng Qiaoni's eyes instantly became flustered, like a frightened little rabbit.
She quickly lowered her head guiltily, her hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, which were severely deformed by her grasping. Her body trembled slightly involuntarily, her face full of tension and panic, and she wished she could turn around and run back to her room immediately.
But how could Lin Xingran give her this opportunity?
I saw——
Lin Xingran quickly stepped forward, taking two steps at a time, and instantly arrived in front of Deng Qiaoni. She suddenly stretched out a hand and ruthlessly blocked Deng Qiaoni's way, that hand seemed like an insurmountable barrier.
Lin Xingran crossed her arms in front of her chest, her eyes like sharp blades, piercing straight at Deng Qiaoni. At the same time, she raised her chin and asked in a bad tone, "Why are you hiding?"
Her tone was cold as ice, full of questioning and oppression.
Deng Qiaoni's voice was trembling badly, and she stammered, "Miss, I...I didn't hide."
Deng Qiaoni didn't dare to look Lin Xingran in the eye. She kept her head down, like a child who had made a serious mistake and was waiting to be punished. At the same time, her body kept shaking, like a fallen leaf shivering in the cold wind.
Lin Xingran sneered, took another step forward, pointed his finger at Deng Qiaoni, lowered his voice, and said viciously: "Humph, don't think I don't know what you are thinking! Don't think you can hide your little tricks from my eyes!"
Her fingers almost poked Deng Qiaoni's face, her expression full of anger and disdain.
Deng Qiaoni stepped back repeatedly, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her speech became more stammering: "Miss, you really misunderstood, I...I really didn't."
Deng Qiaoni explained in a panic while waving her hands wildly in the air. She seemed extremely flustered, her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Lin Xingran's eyes widened with anger, and her voice instantly increased by several decibels. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "No? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Do you think I don't know what's hidden in the look in your eyes when you look at Huo Yan?"
The sharp voice echoed in the empty corridor, full of anger and majesty.
Deng Qiaoni shook her head desperately, tears welling up in her eyes, her shoulders shaking slightly as she sobbed: "Miss, please don't wrongly accuse me, I'm just a teacher."
Deng Qiaoni's tone was tearful, full of grievance and pleading.
