C76

For a moment, Ye Xin Ai thought that she was still in a dream, still confused by Gao Jian's words, but then the man's somewhat noisy voice pulled her out of her trance.

Gao Jian did not know that the person on the other side of the phone was not Gao Min at all, and kept on talking: "That Ye An Ran is really lucky, even after falling into the ocean, she was still discovered. If it was just a few minutes later, I can guarantee that she would not be breathing!"

This chattering did not make the other party able to cut in. Gao Jian was afraid that Gao Min would scold him, so he didn't wait for the woman to speak and finished her sentence in one go.

But after a long time, there was still no reply, he did not know if Gao Min who was on the other side of the phone was angry or not, and was unable to say a word.

Ye Xin Ai covered her mouth tightly, preventing her surprised voice from coming out. She knew that her mother had always disliked Ye An Ran and felt bad for her at every turn, but she couldn't believe that her mother and Gao Jian had actually conspired to kill her.

From past grudges to today, she could not imagine just what kind of grudge it was that it would want to kill a person.

Suddenly, Gao Min's angry voice came from above: "I'm not telling you anymore!" And then there was the almost violent sound of the handle being turned.

Ye Xin Ai hung up the phone in a panic and threw it on the table, then quickly ran to the back of the sofa and squatted down.

She had expected her mother to dash down the stairs, but there wasn't enough time to reach the door. She quickly found a sofa and hid behind it.

A loud and clear door sound came from upstairs, but surprisingly, Gao Min did not walk down the stairs.

Ye Xin Ai held her knees and waited with her breath held for a few minutes. Her heartbeat was fast and intense, as if it was beating crazily by her ears, causing her palms to be drenched in cold sweat.

The upstairs seemed to have quieted down. She stood up and squatted until her legs were weak. She glanced at the phone on the tea table with some fear in her eyes. She then turned around and ran out of the room.

She didn't even dare to stop and turn her head to look, as if there was a monster following her closely from behind, wanting to eat her. She ran out of Ye Family's villa in a panic, charging into the dark night.

Ye Xin Ai ran like this with all her might. She did not dare to investigate the fear in her heart, she was even afraid of thinking about the hidden meaning behind that phone call.

Where she was going now, what she was going to do next, she had no idea.

After running for more than 10 minutes, she finally stopped in an unfamiliar area, breathing heavily.

What should she do? She wanted someone to tell her the answer.

Ye Xin Ai then took out a mobile phone from her bag and dialed a familiar number.

Every beep on the phone felt long and hard, and she prayed silently in her heart, pick it up, pick it up.

Finally, after a few calls, the call connected. However, before she could open her mouth, she heard a strange and sexy voice from the other side.

"Liao Zi Xiao is bathing. If you have something you need him for, you can call him over later."

She looked at the screen of her phone in disbelief, and confirmed that she was dialing Liao Zi Xiao's number once again. However, she didn't want to figure out who the woman on the other side of the phone was.

Before she could reply, the woman's lazy voice was somewhat puzzled.

"Hey, why aren't you talking?" She immediately laughed jokingly. "Liao Zi Xiao's girlfriend is not here to catch the traitor, right?"

This woman only said that casually, who would have thought that the other side of the phone was really Liao Zi Xiao's girlfriend.

Ye Xin Ai's heart followed the other party's laughter and slowly fell into the ice cave. The woman's later words were no longer audible, and she straightforwardly hung up the phone.

She already knew that Liao Zi Xiao was famous for being a playboy, but she still carried a trace of hope in her heart.

However, everything seemed to be his own delusion. After a small friction, he was able to enjoy himself as much as he used to.

Was it because he trusted too much, or because Liao Zi Xiao could not change his habits?

The woman on the other side of the phone was hung up. She looked at the screen in confusion, pursed her lips, and then lazily laid down on the bed, fiddling with her loose curly hair.

The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and within a few minutes, the man had already opened the door and stepped out.

With a towel in one hand, he was drying his wet hair. He was wearing nothing but a towel tied around his waist, and his strong muscles were covered with water droplets.

He quickly found the woman lying on the bed. He frowned, unable to suppress the rage in his eyes. He reached for the phone on the table and asked, "How did you get in?"

The woman lay on the bed, revealing the seductive lines on her chest. She waved the phone in her hand with a smile on her face, "You're looking for this?"

The moment Liao Zi Xiao saw the phone, he stopped what he was doing and looked down at the woman's charming face with a condescending look. He suddenly understood and asked coldly: "Did Xu Lie let you in?"

If one were to clearly understand what was happening in the room, then one would have to reverse the time to the moment Liao Zi Xiao left the Ye Family.

Ye Xin Ai did not care about her signals, and kept letting herself be the first to leave.

From Gao Min's short speech, the man could sense the other party's intent to snatch him away. She was clearly purposely playing with Ye Xin Ai as a relative in front of him, saying that as her mother, she would not be harmed, and the other party could not help but waver.

It was clear that Ye Xin Ai's little thoughts could not win against Gao Min's, and Ye Xin Ai might even be dragged along by the other party's nose.

If he left her here alone, he did not know what Gao Min would do, but no matter what he said, Ye Xin Ai seemed to be unwilling to let him go.

He reached out his hand and gently held the woman's finger in his palm, softly calling her name as he made his final struggle.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Liao Zi Xiao emphasized his tone, trying hard not to let his anger come out along with his words.

However, it was to no avail. He could only raise his head and look at the woman deeply before leaving with a trace of dejection.

In this confrontation with Gao Min, he had lost completely, lost to Ye Xin Ai's trust in women.

After that, Liao Zi Xiao returned to his own apartment, feeling extremely tired. He didn't even take off his clothes and laid on the bed.

He fell asleep at an unknown time, and only when Xu Lie continued to call him, did he wake up.

His voice was full of sleepiness. He put the phone by his ear, frowned and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? You're disturbing my sweet dream."

"Who are you trying to trick? To sleep at this time?" Xu Lie was making a ruckus on the other end of the phone as if he couldn't believe it, "Hurry up, I called three times before answering. I'm at my usual place, come over right away."
