Chapter 214: Were you in the room all this time?
A shadow flickered before her eyes, and Chi He stepped in front of Xia Yinian."I really still have things to do!" Xia Yinian was frantic, at such a time, was Gu Beicheng that bastard still going to trouble her?
"Miss Niannian, I just want to tell you, there’s another path back to the main house that’s particularly fast."
Chi He smiled, "If you want to go back quickly, you might as well follow me."
Xia Yinian was a bit incredulous, could Chi He be so nice, but, she had no choice now.
"Quick!"
...
Following the path led by Chi He, Xia Yinian really returned to the main house through the side door very quickly and went up to the second floor using a different staircase.
With the fastest speed, she returned to her room before Gu Lingqian, who was slowly walking back.
But Xia Yinian hadn’t yet had the chance to catch her breath when the woman in the room made her frown immediately.
"Xia Chuxue, what are you doing here?" In her room, of all places!
At that moment, Xia Yinian’s mind went blank, the excuse she had thought of earlier could no longer be used.
Xia Chuxue in her room, watching her rush back, if she told Gu Lingqian that she had been back for a while, wouldn’t Xia Chuxue expose her on the spot?
This woman has disliked her for a lifetime, how could she possibly help her cover up a lie?
Just as she was thinking this, there was suddenly a faint sound of footsteps outside.
Then, a knock on the door: "Niannian, are you in there? It’s Ling Qian, open the door."
Xia Yinian was completely dumbfounded; the situation was too urgent, and she couldn’t think of a good reason to explain where she had been just now.
Xia Chuxue, sitting on the chair, however, looked at her with a smile that was not well-intentioned: "Young Master Ling is knocking on the door? Niannian, why don’t you open the door? That’s quite impolite, isn’t it?"
Xia Yinian took a deep breath, no choice but to finally turn around and open the door.
"Ling Qian, you... were you looking for me?"
However, Gu Lingqian’s gaze fell on her face: "Why is your face so red? What have you been doing just now?"
Seeing her, he seemed somewhat puzzled, but he was a member of the Gu Family; he knew all the paths and shortcuts of the Gu Family.
Her current appearance really looked like she had just hurried back.
"It’s nothing, just... just... had a little argument with Sister Chuxue."
Xia Yinian didn’t know why she blurted out such a thing.
She truly wasn’t good at lying, and she didn’t want to lie!
But Gu Lingqian appeared thoughtful: "Have you been in the room the whole time?"
Xia Yinian bit her lip and shook her head: "Not exactly..."
"It was just a few words, wasn’t it? No need to make such a fuss to Mr. Ling about it, seems like this little sister is getting better at coquetry."
Behind her, Xia Chuxue stood up and walked up to them, smiling at Gu Lingqian.
"Sorry, Mr. Ling, I just scolded her a bit, blaming her for not visiting home to see our parents, that’s why she was angry."
Xia Yinian didn’t speak, only looking at her with astonishment.
Was Xia Chuxue trying to help her out? But isn’t she eager to see her dead? Why do this?
Gu Lingqian’s face still showed no emotion, casually asking: "Have you been here the whole time?"
"Not the whole time, just here for a little while, and had a bit of a quarrel."
Xia Chuxue cheerfully took Xia Yinian’s hand, appearing very warm, with an understanding demeanor.
"Come on, what is there for sisters to bear grudges over? A little bickering has always been there, but our affection has always been strong, I hope Mr. Ling won’t mind."
