Chapter 419 Yan Yi
Tang Xu was surprised that Song Luobai would bring up the Yan family. After a moment of surprise, she said, "Such big news, of course I saw it. What, do you guys follow these things at school too?"

Song Luobai's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "Since Ji Shiqing is so active in class, it's natural that some people will pay attention to related news."

After saying that, he finally looked up at Tang Xu, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Won't this cause a big fuss and have any consequences?"

"What impact?" Tang Xu's mind was clearly not on this topic. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It will definitely have an impact on the Yan family, but it has little to do with us bystanders, and even less to do with you minors."

Upon hearing this, Song Luobai couldn't help but take another deep look at her, and remained silent for a moment.

Tang Xu then asked, "Is Ji Shiqing unaffected?"

"Just like you said, it actually has nothing to do with us," Song Luobai said calmly. "It's just that everyone is paying attention and discussing it because his uncle is Yan Shiyu."

When Yan Shiyu was mentioned, Song Luobai's expression lingered on Tang Xu's face for a moment.

Tang Xu finally realized what was going on.

This kid was actually trying to get information out of her to test her reaction.

It can be considered a form of concern—concern about the situation between her and Yan Shiyu, and whether she has been affected by this matter.

However, his emotions were always awkward and reserved, and Tang Xu had other things on her mind, so she didn't notice it at first.

After realizing what had happened, Tang Xu just chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you high school seniors to have the energy to care about these things. But, based on Ji Shiqing's uncle's life experience, this shouldn't be considered a big deal."

Song Luobai's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he said, "But there are some rumors that the higher-ups of the Yan Group are all like this, and maybe he was involved too?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu glanced at him, her eyes already filled with clear emotion. "If such a thing happens, the authorities will handle it and reach a conclusion. Children shouldn't waste their time looking at things online or getting involved in these baseless speculations."

Upon hearing her words, Song Luobai gave a soft hum and lowered her head again to concentrate on eating.

Tang Xu then spoke again: "Next week, after the exams, we'll be on vacation. Are you flying straight to Boston after your vacation, or would you like to go somewhere else to travel first?"

Song Luobai looked up at her and asked, "Are you planning a trip somewhere?"

"I don't have time," Tang Xu said. "If there's anywhere you want to go, I'll find someone to arrange a reliable travel agency and tour guide so you can have a more comfortable trip."

Song Luobai quickly lowered his head again and lazily replied, "Whatever."

Tang Xu then stopped asking questions.

After dinner, Song Luobai returned to his room as usual, closed the door, and left Tang Xu alone.

However, late that night, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Tang Xu subconsciously glanced at her phone. Seeing that there were no unread messages, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the front door.

When Tang Xu saw the figure in the video doorbell, she felt a slight headache, but she still opened the door.

"Sister!" Ji Shiqing rushed forward instantly, giving Tang Xu a sweet and pitiful smile. "I'm homeless tonight, could you take me in for the night?"

Tang Xu was taken aback, then asked, "Did you argue with your uncle again?" "No, no," Ji Shiqing said. "It's so cold outside, sister, can you let me inside to talk?"

Tang Xu slightly moved aside, and Ji Shiqing immediately squeezed in, beaming with joy, "Sister's house is still the best, it's so comfortable and warm, and the food is my favorite too."

"What exactly happened to you?" Tang Xu said. "If you don't explain clearly, I'm going to ask your uncle directly."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shiqing chuckled, seemingly not afraid at all. Instead, a hint of teasing appeared in his gaze as he looked at Tang Xu.

It was as if they were asking her if she was no longer going to hide it?
Tang Xu felt somewhat helpless, but at this point she couldn't care less about that. She simply said, "Then I'll ask him?"

"Go ahead and ask," Ji Shiqing said. "Anyway, it's not about my uncle."

"Not with your uncle?" Tang Xu asked. "Then with whom?"

“It’s a woman!” Ji Shiqing said. “A really scary woman. She blocked my door. I didn’t even dare to go home. I could only hide here with you, sister.”

"What utter nonsense!" Tang Xu reached out and tapped his forehead.

“Really! Women are the most terrifying creatures in the world—” He noticed Tang Xu’s slightly displeased expression and quickly changed his words, “Except for you, sister.”

Tang Xu was truly at a loss with Shi Qing, but since things were already in this state, he could only let him go inside first, thinking he would send a message to Yan Shiyu later to ask about the specific situation.

Hearing the noise, Song Luobai came out and saw Ji Shiqing. He immediately turned around and went back to his room, slamming the door shut.

Ji Shiqing turned around and looked at Tang Xu, saying helplessly, "What an impolite child."

Tang Xu was even more helpless than him. "Sit down for a while. Order whatever you want to eat. There are drinks in the fridge, just help yourself."

"I know, I know." Ji Shiqing acted as if she knew what she was doing. "Sister, don't worry about me, I'll take good care of myself. Give me the blanket and quilt, I'll make the sofa myself later."

Tang Xu returned to her room helplessly and took the opportunity to get a blanket and quilt to send a message to Yan Shiyu, telling him that Ji Shiqing had come to her place.

Yan Shiyu was probably busy and didn't reply for a while, so Tang Xu could only take the blanket and quilt out and spread them on the sofa for Ji Shiqing.

Not long after, the doorbell rang again.

Ji Shiqing was in the bathroom when she heard the doorbell ring and quickly called out to her sister, "My takeout has arrived, sister, could you please get it for me?"

However, when Tang Xu saw the person outside the door, he was stunned for a moment.

Standing outside the door was a mature woman with long, slightly wavy hair, looking around curiously. Behind her was a tall, thin man in black clothes, whose gaze was fixed intently on the door in front of him.

No matter how you look at it, the two people outside the door don't seem like food delivery people.

"Who are you looking for?" Although she already had some guesses in her mind, Tang Xu still pressed the call button and asked.

Hearing the sound, the woman outside the door withdrew her gaze and gave the camera a smile identical to Ji Shiqing's. "Hello, I'm Yan Yi, I'm here to see Ji Shiqing."
