Chapter 118: Little Sister Doesn’t Need To Move—Big Sister Is Fully Automatic!

Through her recollections, Ye Xiao didn’t hold anything back.

She told Officer Zhang everything that had happened at the time.

In fact, she didn’t really trust Officer Zhang, but given her current social standing and financial situation, her choices were limited.

If Gu Tingyuan truly wanted to bring her down, he could easily pin the matter of Liao Jin on her—then she might not be able to clear her name no matter how hard she tried.

Although she hadn’t yet fallen out with Gu Tingyuan directly—even if she had mocked him as her “femme imp” alter ego—he was, after all, the president of a conglomerate worth nearly a hundred billion. Would he really fall out with her over something like that?

Ye Xiao didn’t think so. For now, she was relying on her elder sister.

Gu Tingyuan had some designs on Ye Youran—though she didn’t know exactly what—but as long as that was the case, Ye Xiao remained safe for the time being.

Even if Liao Jin’s death by drowning really was connected to Gu Tingyuan, she doubted the investigation would ever reach him in the end.

Taking down a corporate titan worth billions, especially without sufficient resources of her own, would require coordination from many different angles.

It wouldn’t be something that could be done overnight—perhaps the Liao Jin incident could be a breakthrough point.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiao’s gaze fell upon Liu Nanxi. Establishing a good relationship with her was essential.

She didn’t trust Zhang Cheng, but she could make Liu Nanxi someone she could trust.

Liu Nanxi seemed to trust Zhang Cheng quite a lot.

So Ye Xiao gave a full statement to Zhang Cheng without holding anything back.

She had indeed been in contact with Liao Jin, but it wasn’t she who had reached out first.

She brought out the messages and the transfer records from back then.

The people had been arranged by the one who sent the texts. All Ye Xiao had to do was come up with an excuse to lure Su Ruoxue out and then transfer the agreed-upon sum to the designated account.

That was exactly what the original host had done.

But Ye Xiao wasn’t sure who the sender of the text messages was—she didn’t have any hacking skills. Leaving this to the police might actually be more reliable.

So what exactly was Gu Tingyuan’s goal? To make Su Ruoxue leave the marriage with nothing?

But according to the original plot, the two of them seemed to have dragged on their divorce for a long time.

As for the Su family, their business primarily dealt in foreign trade. Because of their partnership with the Gu Group, the company seemed to be thriving—but how much of it was still truly under Su family control?

Back when the two got married, the Su Group was already on the verge of bankruptcy.

It looked like the Su family had gotten a great deal, but in truth, it was the Gu family who profited more. They expanded operations and opened up foreign trade markets.

At this point, if the Gu family wanted, they could kick the Su family out at any time—or devour them like a hungry wolf.

Su Ruoxue seemed to understand this as well. So rather than rushing into a divorce with Gu Tingyuan, she began secretly collecting evidence while still within the marriage—when Gu Tingyuan was at his least guarded.

After leaving Xia Naonao, Ye Xiao’s expression became somewhat gloomy.

In her past life, she had been a bit of a flirt, sure—but ultimately just an ordinary person. She had never been involved in the power struggles of massive corporations.

Now, it wasn’t just for Su Ruoxue’s sake—but also for her own—that she had to take action.

When “My World” had just launched, she had been rather pleased with herself. But when compared with the Gu Corporation, it all felt so insignificant.

“Xiao Xiao, why do you look so down all of a sudden? Relax a little,” Lu Shiqing said encouragingly while driving.

“I’m fine,” Ye Xiao shook her head. She knew she shouldn’t bring these negative emotions in front of these big sisters. After all, they weren’t involved in this matter.

“Why don’t you come stay at my place for now?”

Ye Xiao didn’t respond. Lu Shiqing sighed. No matter who it was, being involved in a murder case was bound to take a toll on their mood.

She didn’t know the full scope of what was going on—that Ye Xiao had bribed some thug to take advantage of her best friend, ruining her purity. It was something she should have been angry about.

But now Ye Xiao seemed to be caught up in an even larger storm.

At the very least, Su Ruoxue’s innocence remained intact. Even if things between her and this little girl were a bit ambiguous.

She still felt a little conflicted about it all—but in the end, Ye Xiao hadn’t let that thug succeed, had she?

What Ye Xiao needed now was comfort—not interrogation.

Following Lu Shiqing, Ye Xiao once again returned to her home in Fontainebleau.

Looking at the familiar house and the beautiful woman before her, Ye Xiao felt strangely disinterested.

“Xiao Xiao, go sit on the sofa for a bit. Watch TV or do whatever you like. I’m going to run a bath.”

With that, Lu Shiqing headed to the bathroom.

Not long after, she called for Ye Xiao to take a bath.

They had eaten crayfish for dinner—the smell lingered, and it was quite uncomfortable.

Ye Xiao seemed absent-minded, letting Lu Shiqing handle everything. Seeing her like that, Lu Shiqing carefully washed her.

After the bath, the two of them got into bed.

Lu Shiqing even prepared a nightgown that would fit Ye Xiao—just in case.

Lying next to the gorgeous Lu Shiqing, Ye Xiao felt surprisingly numb, emotionally unmoved.

“All right, Ye Xiao, get a good night’s sleep. Forget about everything that’s been upsetting you. One step at a time. Weren’t you all proud of yourself before? Bring that spirit back—there’s nothing you can’t overcome.”

As she spoke, Lu Shiqing pulled Ye Xiao into her arms.

Ye Xiao was immediately enveloped by the scent of body wash and the feeling of her face being smothered by two soft cushions.

It smelled good. It felt soft. But breathing was seriously difficult.

Ye Xiao began struggling immediately. Didn’t this busty big sister realize how dangerous she was? At this rate, someone could actually die!

Sensing Ye Xiao’s struggle and the warm breath on her chest—not to mention the faint citrus scent that no amount of body wash could mask—Lu Shiqing felt her heart begin to flutter.

Ye Xiao was such a quirky little girl—always full of surprises, always managing to do things no other girl could.

She had never felt this way about anyone else.

But whenever she held Ye Xiao in her arms, Lu Shiqing always experienced that unique, heart-racing sensation—something she’d never felt with anyone else.

People say that electrifying, heart-pounding feeling is what love feels like.

Lu Shiqing had never been in love before. And yet, her first romantic feelings were now directed at a little girl like Ye Xiao—this must be fate.

Looking at Ye Xiao struggling in her embrace, Lu Shiqing loosened her grip, leaned close to her ear, and whispered with slightly parted lips:

“I’ve done a little studying in that area too—tonight, Xiao Xiao, just relax and enjoy.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes widened at her words. When she was just lying beside Lu Shiqing, she had managed not to think about anything. But now that Lu Shiqing was taking the initiative—how could she not think about it?

So this was the legendary: little sister doesn’t need to move, big sister is fully automatic?
