Chapter 763: Chapter 780: What Can You Do? (Part 2)
Xi Xiaoyi placed one hand in her pocket; she was ready to call the police, after all, she couldn’t put her hopes on the neighbors next door.
Because this was a high-end housing area, the soundproofing was excellent.
As for the neighbor lady who just heard something, she probably just happened to be passing by the door.
Now she heard a voice from the staircase, and her face turned extremely ugly. She couldn’t help but worry, "Why is Lin Xi here?"
"What about the baby? Is the baby at the gatehouse?"
"Or maybe, did he come holding the baby?"
"But this mustn’t be known to the baby!"
After all, she always told the baby that her father had gone to work far, far away, a place with no cell signal, almost isolated from the outside world.
But her father was working for the country, so it was a great job.
If she knows now that her father is right here, and he’s like this, she might not be able to handle it.
After all, children’s hearts are fragile, unable to take too much of a blow, or else it would leave them with childhood trauma.
Besides, she, Xi Xiaoyi, had been lying to the baby, and she didn’t know whether the baby would forgive her after knowing this.
Sitting opposite her, Shui Qianze, his eyes red, looked toward the staircase and thought darkly, "The meaning of that statement just now, did it mean that if he takes action, his hand will be ruined?"
"Is that what it means?"
Yes, this was naked~~naked~~threat.
As for this kind of threat, deep down, he didn’t care at all.
Because he was no ordinary man. Though he married into his wife’s family, and her parents looked down on him, even despised him, outside the wife’s family, he was a successor, the future big boss.
So over the years, he had gotten acquainted with and befriended many powerful people from various circles.
It can be said that, if he wished for someone to die or have their family shattered, it wasn’t a difficult thing.
"Who’s sneaking around there, come out now!"
"Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you a heads-up; you will meet a very sorry end."
Lin Xi, holding the sleeping Xixi, pushed open the staircase door and walked in from outside.
Despite the arguments just now and his talking, Xixi showed no sign of waking up at all.
The key was that besides stuffing her ears with cotton, he had also massaged certain acupressure points, putting the baby into a deep sleep.
Even if someone was beating gongs and drums right in front of her, she might not wake up.
"Over the past few years, anyone who said I would face a terrible end is hardly ever seen again!" Lin Xi was a few centimeters shorter than Shui Qianze, yet they seemed almost the same height, and Lin Xi remained extremely calm.
This forced Shui Qianze, who was so aggressive a moment ago, to involuntarily step back a few paces, as if the young man before him was a lurking, fearsome beast.
A slight irritation could cause him to be torn to pieces.
Thinking of that, he couldn’t help but shake his head, cursing himself inwardly, "He doesn’t seem like a minor character from five years ago, why should I fear a youngster in front of me?"
"Even if he seems extraordinary, but can he really surpass me?"
Lin Xi came inside, glanced at Shui Qianze, and after seeing him retreat a few steps, he ignored him and walked toward Xi Xiaoyi. Like an adult touching a child’s head, he patted her head and said, "Sweetheart, nothing’s wrong!"
"And no matter what happens in the future, don’t ever think of solving it alone. Know that I’m behind you; we are one!"
Xi Xiaoyi, "..."
What the hell?
What was Lin Xi doing; she was completely stunned!
It was only after a long time that she vaguely guessed what Lin Xi meant, but to someone who wasn’t disdainful of her and was so forgiving, her cold heart slowly began to melt.
At that moment, a hint of a pampered expression appeared on her face, and she suddenly felt it was a blessing to have someone to protect her.
This was the first time she had felt this happiness in her life.
But the next moment, she woke up from this state of happiness, raised her head, and looked at Xixi lying on Lin Xi’s chest. Seeing that the baby was still in a deep sleep with no signs of waking, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
But she still worried about the baby waking up; given the situation, a confrontation seemed inevitable!
"You take the baby and leave first; I can handle it here!" she said to Lin Xi, still pretending to be strong.
Lin Xi knew her thoughts, rubbed Xi Xiaoyi’s head again, "Silly, leave it to me!"
"And don’t worry, it won’t disturb the baby!"
As he said this, he pointed to the baby’s ears, indicating she couldn’t hear the outside world.
Xi Xiaoyi turned her head to take a look, only to discover that the baby’s ears were stuffed with cotton.
No wonder?
But are you sure this won’t wake her?
Yet, somehow, she completely trusted Lin Xi’s words just now.
At this moment, Shui Qianze, having overheard their conversation, especially when hearing about the baby, his eyes lit up.
The key point was that the baby looked so adorable!
Before coming here, he prayed endlessly that the baby wouldn’t turn out ugly, or else, even if taken home, she might not be liked by his in-laws.
In that case, his situation would probably not improve.
At this moment, he completely relaxed because he had just gotten a glimpse of Xixi’s face.
That little face, he could say that in all his life, Xixi was the most charming and adorable child he had ever seen!
When she grew up, she would surely become a devastatingly beautiful woman.
As for why he wanted to take the baby, it was because he and his woman hadn’t gotten pregnant in five years!
After going to the hospital, it was discovered that back in her youth, his woman was too reckless in that aspect, leading to physical harm and inability to conceive!
This matter left Shui Qianze depressed for quite some time, but he didn’t dare to say anything and simply bottled it up.
Then his in-laws somehow got the information that his ex-girlfriend had his child and was raising it. So they wanted to bring her over and raise her.
After all, it was still their son-in-law’s flesh and blood, and better than adopting one from an orphanage.
He exhaled deeply, slightly stabilizing his still-shaken mind, and said, "I don’t care who you are, I’m warning you, stay out of this, or you’ll regret it!"
"And also, I’ve seen the baby, so let’s end today here!"
"Xi Xiaoyi, let me give you a word of advice: I’ll be coming for the baby tomorrow, and don’t you resist, or if anything unexpected happens, I won’t be able to control it!"
After saying this, he no longer paid them any attention, walked past them, and pressed the elevator button to leave.
Xi Xiaoyi almost got furious, ready to start cursing!
But just as she was about to speak, Lin Xi stopped her with a glance, then turned to Shui Qianze with a calm face and said,
"People who told me I would regret later, all ended up kneeling and apologizing to me!"
With a "ding!" the elevator doors opened.
At that moment, Shui Qianze didn’t enter the elevator but turned to Lin Xi, "Besides nonsense, what else can you do?"
"And let me secretly tell you, those who once threatened me now aren’t even worthy to carry my shoes, some of them no longer exist in this world!"
"So now, would you still say that statement from before?"
"And, I’ll give you a chance now, I’ll give you ten seconds to retract that statement!"
"If you take it back, I’ll pretend none of this ever happened!"
"If not, I’ll show you you’re messing with the wrong person!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Xi couldn’t help but show a hint of mockery, then without a word, he stepped toward Shui Qianze, instantly standing in front of him, and extended a hand, grabbing Shui Qianze’s wrist.
With a slight effort, there was a ’crack’ sound, followed by Shui Qianze’s miserable howl echoing down the corridor.
Then Lin Xi raised a foot and just kicked the half-kneeling Shui Qianze into the elevator.
Only then he said, "I’ll be waiting for you here tomorrow, and let’s see how you take the baby away then?"
The pained Shui Qianze, his face a mixture of fear and hatred, glared at Lin Xi, but at this time, he dared not utter a word.
A few seconds later, the elevator doors closed and quickly descended, only then did Shui Qianze’s face twist as he cursed, "Damn brat, I’ll tear you to pieces tomorrow!"
