Chapter 242

Big Brother ran over to Sister-in-law's company?

He had just planned to say that he had already sent Sister-in-law to the company.

Fortunately, he didn't say it out loud, otherwise his cover would have been blown.

Now he needed to give Big Brother a reason.

In a flash of thought, Li Xiao came up with an idea and said calmly.

"Big Brother, I was just about to tell you about this. Sister-in-law isn't feeling well today, it's still about her sprained ankle."

"Sister-in-law insisted on working after spraining her ankle the other day, and now there's a tendency for it to relapse. She said she's resting at home for a day and won't be going to the company today…"

Li Xiao said with his mouth, but his heart was incomparably bitter.

Last time Sister-in-law came out of the hotel with Xu Hao, didn't she look exactly like she had a sprained ankle?

This time, it would probably be even more serious.

Saying it was a relapse of her sprained ankle was completely unproblematic.

"What? Xinrui's sprained ankle relapsed? Is it serious? I'll head over right away."

Chu Xiong frowned upon hearing this.

He and Yao Xinrui had fundamentally no feelings for each other at all.

However, the two of them were a couple on the surface, so they still had to put on an act in front of outsiders.

Li Xiao was greatly alarmed upon hearing this.

What would happen if Big Brother came over?

Seeing his own wife, currently with a friend…

Wouldn't he explode right on the spot?

If it were someone else at this moment, they probably would have been panicking like crazy.

But other than being a bit at a loss at first, Li Xiao quickly recovered and regained his composure.

He had read the novel and knew the personality of this Big Brother in the book.

Chu Xiong didn't care about Sister-in-law; he just wanted to present a harmonious appearance in front of outsiders.

As long as he told Big Brother that Sister-in-law didn't go to the Hospital or other public places for treatment and was recuperating at home, it would be fine.

Therefore, Li Xiao calmly Dao.

"Big Brother, rest assured, Sister-in-law is fine. She just had me buy a bottle of bruising medicine."

"I told her to go to the Hospital, but she said it wasn't a big deal, and applying some medicated wine would do."

Chu Xiong's brows relaxed.

"Since there's nothing wrong, I won't go over. You don't need to go to Xiaotian's place either; focus on taking care of your Sister-in-law."

"If her condition becomes serious, go to the Hospital, and remember to notify me then…"

Hanging up the phone.

Li Xiao stood frozen in place for a long time.

Holding his phone, standing in the wind in disarray.

This Big Brother, he really made him want to cry to death.

He trusted him far too much.

He was so at ease leaving Sister-in-law in his care.

Not afraid of wearing a green hat on his head at all.

If not for Xu Hao, Li Xiao would definitely have been so happy he'd jump three feet high.

Being at ease staying by Sister-in-law's side, conquering her wouldn't be easier.

As for now…

He wanted to take care of Sister-in-law too.

But he couldn't even catch a glimpse of her shadow.

Right now, she was most likely together with Xu Hao at a couple's hotel.

Damn it!

Originally, Sister-in-law was his.

She was snatched away by that damned Xu Hao.

On the other side—

Chu Xiong hung up his subordinate's call and called his wife Yao Xinrui again.

"Beep beep" for a while.

No one answered.

She must be focusing on applying medicine, right?

Next, he called a few more times, but still no one answered.

Until he called in the afternoon.

Yao Xinrui answered.

Her voice sounded a bit unnatural.

Chu Xiong secretly thought, has she still not improved after applying the medicine?

"I heard from Xiao that your sprained ankle has gotten worse. How are you now? You aren't even going to the Hospital to take a look."

"…"

After dealing with Chu Xiong, Yao Xinrui turned back and cast a resentful glance at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao flashed a playful smile at her.

[Ding… Yao Xinrui's sense of shame burst to the max, Emotion Points +963…]

In the afternoon, Li Xiao arrived at the couple's hotel.

After waiting outside for over an hour, he finally saw Sister-in-law and Xu Hao come out.

As expected, Sister-in-law's brows were furrowed even deeper.

[Ding… Li Xiao felt extreme heartache, Emotion Points +987…]

[Ding… Li Xiao's mentality exploded, Emotion Points +999…]

Glancing at the ashen-faced Li Xiao.

Xu Hao decided to speed up the progress targeting the sister-in-law.

This was only just the beginning, yet this protagonist was already failing to hold on.

Just two days later, feeling that Yao Xinrui's injuries had recovered more or less, Xu Hao planned to ask her out again.

However, a message he received made him change his mind.

The message showed—

Yao Xinrui went to the beauty salon of his wife, which was none other than the protagonist's glamorous stepmother Su Wanqiu's Wanqiu Beauty Salon.

Tsk tsk… Now this was going to be fun.

He instructed Bai Ling to prepare the car and headed to Wanqiu Beauty Salon.

Didn't Su Wanqiu always say every day that she wanted to find a comrade-in-arms?

Now that the comrade-in-arms had delivered herself to the door, they could charge forward for love together.

Li Xiao drove and, according to the address Sister-in-law gave, arrived at a beauty salon.

As they were about to arrive, he couldn't help being attracted by a figure standing at the entrance of the beauty salon.

This was a fully ripened woman whose appearance and figure were both top-notch.

She wasn't some young girl, yet her skin was so tender that water could be pinched out of it.

At this moment, wearing a professional outfit, a pair of soul-stirring eyes exuded the intellectual elegance of a mature Wu Mei.

This woman was not inferior to Sister-in-law Yao Xinrui in the slightest, and was even superior.

Gazing at her spellbound, Li Xiao almost crashed into a tree.

He hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

Yao Xinrui in the back seat stumbled and almost fell over.

She cast a cold glance at her nominal husband's trusted subordinate, feeling extreme disgust in her heart.

Clearly Chu Xiong's subordinate, yet he bit the hand that fed him and worked for Xu Hao.

Especially when he sent her to the hotel and even made her dress up prettily, talking about some romantic ambiance?

To think Chu Xiong still treated him like family.
