Chapter 375 Is it better to go in or come out?
Yue Yang's expression changed upon hearing Du Anrao's words, but he quickly regained his composure.

"The young lady who was kicked out of her home acted in a truly despicable manner. Fortunately, the two young ladies saw through their scheme first, otherwise they might have been deceived. However, if people like them are not taught a lesson and made to feel pain and fear, they may come back to cause you trouble in the future."

[Got it, this is a move to kick someone when they're down, to beat them while they're down! She's decisive, doesn't cower or shirk responsibility, and most importantly, is smart enough to protect her own. My cousin, she's someone I can get along with!]

Li Yuesheng's eyelids twitched twice. She thought to herself, what could they possibly be? They had only met a few times, and who was it that said that a life-saving grace didn't necessarily have to be repaid with a body? And now they've betrayed each other?
Li Zhaoyang was also frustrated. This kid was clever as he was, but it was really hard to accept that he was taking advantage of his family's wealth.

Li Yuesheng had no idea about her brother's inner thoughts. After the awkward moment, she still managed to explain, "It's because of this that I've been carefully recalling the scene of our meeting back then these past few days. I just hoped that I wouldn't mistake you for someone else when I saw you again, but I never expected..." Only a few days had passed before she ran into the real person.

Li Yuesheng's explanation was reasonable, and even Du Anrao, let alone Yue Yang, did not doubt it, and secretly sighed in his heart.

[It seems that sending Li Qianxi in was the most appropriate course of action. I didn't even need to remind her; my little cousin had already come to her senses. Congratulations!]

Li Yuesheng: "..." No, if it weren't for you, I really might not have been able to find the person so quickly.

On the other side, Li Zhaoyang hesitated for a long time before finally muttering awkwardly, "My parents are right. No matter what, you did save Yuesheng's life back then. It's a life-saving favor that we should repay. If you need anything in the future, just ask. I won't refuse to do anything I can."

As Li Zhaoyang said this, he added to himself: Everything else is fine, but don't even think about asking him to help pursue his sister. He can't do it and he's unwilling!
Du Anrao never expected to encounter such a pleasant surprise just when he was about to leave. After happily finishing the old-fashioned melon with the two of them, he turned around and saw Xi Jingyue being ostracized by his family.

"Mr. Xi, what brings you here at this hour? Don't you have to work today?"

"I didn't have anything particularly important to do this morning, and I happened to receive some news that you might be interested in, so I came to see you."

"News we're interested in? What news?" Du Anrao exclaimed in surprise, a sudden thought flashing through his mind, "Could it be... news related to Li Qianxi?"

“That’s right. After Li Qianxi was arrested, she tried to get herself released, and there were indeed people who wanted to help her get bail out…”

Du Anrao's ears perked up immediately: "Who?"

"Some rich kids she knew before."

Du Anrao looked surprised.

Is this the female lead's halo? Her character has completely collapsed, yet there are still people willing to believe her and bail her out.

The Li family members also frowned. This time, they were truly determined to send Li Qianxi in. Otherwise, with such a troublemaker left outside, their whole family would probably not be able to sleep peacefully.

Needless to say, those who tried to pull Li Qianxi away were all enemies of the Li family!

Are there any people with the surname Jiang among them?

Upon hearing this, Xi Jingyue knew who Du Anrao wanted to ask and shook her head, saying, "No, not at all. Don't worry, they're all spoiled brats with no connections or background. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to. Besides, the school bus incident has had a terrible impact, and the public opinion has spread so widely. There are countless people watching this matter now, and they won't let her out easily." "That's good." Du Anrao felt much relieved when she heard that none of the people working for Li Qianxi were surnamed Jiang.

[It seems this matter has blown up so badly that even the male lead is avoiding any appearance of impropriety and unwilling to bail her out. This makes it even more likely that she'll confess and submit to the law.]

Both families breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as it seemed that Li Qianxi's situation was not as dire as they had imagined.

"You made this special trip just to say this?" Du Yuxi raised an eyebrow and gave Xi Jingyue a knowing look.

It's as if they're saying: Is that all? You can leave now, don't think we don't know what you're here for.

This truly exemplifies the tactic of discarding someone after they've served their purpose.

Xi Jingyue didn't mind and smiled, "There is indeed another matter."

"what?"

"That day, An An mentioned in the coffee shop that when she was seven years old, Li Qianxi was jealous of a little boy who was more popular than her, so she plotted to lure him to the back garden and caused him to fall from a height and break his leg."

"Oh yes, that's true."

"The person who broke his leg because of Li Qianxi was Lu Lingyu, the eldest son of the Lu family. He was only nine years old when the incident happened. Because of the broken leg, he had to recuperate for several months, which caused him to miss the opportunity to go to the summer camp in City B, and thus he was overshadowed by his nemesis."

Xi Jingyue couldn't help but laugh as he said this: "He was young at the time, and Li Qianxi did a pretty good job, so Lu Lingyu and his family didn't think much of it and assumed it was just an accident. It wasn't until they saw the video online and realized that what happened back then was very likely caused by Li Qianxi that they thought of thoroughly investigating the matter."

"So...did they find anything out?"

"We found it. They found the maid who helped Li Qianxi send Lu Lingyu away. From her, we learned that it was indeed Li Qianxi who asked her to call him to the back garden. It was also Li Qianxi who asked her to pour some slippery oil and throw a few glass beads on Lu Lingyu's way back, causing him to slip and fall from a height, breaking his leg."

"Hiss—this is too much..." Li Zhaoyang and the others gasped, their eyes filled with astonishment and amazement at what Li Qianxi had done.

"The Lu family was furious when they learned the truth and made a harsh statement that they would never let Li Qianxi get away with it once she was released."

Xi Jingyue thoughtfully added a few more words: "Although the Lu family has always kept a low profile, their ancestors did not have a clean reputation when they started out. Even though most of their businesses have been laundered, they still have some unsavory gray businesses."

"Lu Lingyu is the most favored junior member of the Lu family, and he is already deeply loved by the Lu family head and his uncles. Moreover, he is not a kind person. Since he dares to make such a statement, he must have already made a definite plan for someone's final fate. If Li Qianxi can stay inside, it will be fine. But once she comes out, it will probably be more than just losing a leg."

The Li and Du families were speechless, unsure whether it was better for someone to go in or come out.
