Hua Xuanhe picked up a chicken drumstick for Shi Xi. “Maybe it’s just about benefits. Don’t think too much.”

“If you don’t want me to think too much, you shouldn’t be telling me this.” Shi Xi bit the drumstick hatefully.

“If Xie Yunzhou really cheated on you, you should blame me for not telling you this.” Hua Xuanhe coughed. “I’m not saying that Xie Yunzhou would really cheat on you.”

Shi Xi lowered her head and continued to nibble on the drumstick.

Hua Xuanhe explained, “The Xie family is also giving him a lot of pressure. Second Xie’s matter has already become a hot topic. There are people who are not satisfied with the first trial. The Xie family still wants him to deal with them and get him to protect them.”

Shi Xi had a headache.

For a person like Second Xie, life imprisonment was the best sentence for him.

“They still want to bail him out? Can the Xie family cover the sky with one hand?” Shi Xi frowned.

Hua Xuanhe: “If it’s not posted online…” Hua Xuanhe didn’t finish his sentence.

For rich people like them, as long as they could suppress the news or find someone to take their place in prison, they would be able to escape. Once they had established some connections, this matter would be over.

Just like how Hua Ruoling almost killed Gu Yinuo back then.

Wasn’t she still unharmed now?

However, after the incident, it was posted online.

“So, the Xie family is still trying to find out who wanted to harm Second Xie,” Hua Xuanhe added.

“Second Xie should have quite a number of enemies, right?” Shi Xi thought about Second Xie’s personality.

“He has made many enemies. They are investigating them one by one. Actually,” Hua Xuanhe sighed, “Old Master Xie suspected that Xie Yunzhou was the one who did it the moment it was revealed.”

Shi Xi finished the drumstick and thought to herself, ‘There’s quite a motive.’

Second Xie had targeted him several times.

If Second Xie was gone, Xie Yunzhou would be the only heir of the Xie family.

Oh.

As Shi Xi thought about it, she also felt that Xie Yunzhou was suspicious.

Hua Xuanhe: “Don’t think about it. This matter will make the Xie family very busy anyway.”

After saying that, he remembered that the busy person might be his future brother-in-law.

Oh my, he was even happier.

Hua Xuanhe held back his laughter.

After dinner, Hua Xuanhe brought Shi Xi to see the wild tiger.

The wild tiger was kept in a courtyard with a fake mountain and flowing water.

The surrounding walls were made into the shape of rocks, and there was a fence in the middle of the yard so that the wild tiger could not escape. It was also convenient to feed and visit.

When the two of them arrived, Hua Ruoling was feeding the wild tiger through the fence.

“You guys are here.” Hua Ruoling smiled lightly, not showing the slightest bit of unwelcome from before. “I’ve already fed Xiao Ye just now. I’m feeding him fruits now.”

Shi Xi: Huh?

Tigers could eat fruits?

Looking at the grapes in Hua Ruoling’s hands, Shi Xi felt that the wild tiger probably would not want to return to the forest after staying here for a few days.

“Do you want to feed it?” Hua Ruoling asked Shi Xi.

“It won’t come out through the fence. You just fed it,” Hua Xuanhe said. “It won’t attack you.”

“Alright.” Shi Xi nodded.

They were separated by a fence.

Hua Ruoling passed the basket to Shi Xi and said, “Just throw it in.”

When she handed it over, Hua Ruoling quietly sprinkled something on Shi Xi’s legs and retreated to the side.

Hua Ruoling often came to see the wild tiger, so she knew it better than anyone else.

Shi Xi put the grapes in.

The wild tiger sensed that there were humans and circled around a few times before slowly walking over.

The closer it got, the more irritable and vigilant the wild tiger became as it stared at Shi Xi.

Shi Xi had never been afraid of looking at people, let alone a tiger.

Why are you staring at me?

Because she was pretty?

The wild tiger slowly strolled to the side of the fence and stared at Shi Xi. Suddenly, it pounced!
