I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 342 I am worried about Xiangxiang

"What is your relationship with Zhao Xiangxiang?"

Pei Yan just asked softly, but the four people sitting at the table all looked at Qin Yi who was standing.

I didn't know what the connection between Qin Yi and Zhao Xiangxiang was before, but now he suddenly said he wanted to comfort Zhao Xiangxiang, and he seemed very familiar with her.

Moreover, there is a great possibility that it goes beyond the relationship of friendship.

A legitimate son and a legitimate daughter, they are a very good match.

Everyone had different thoughts, but Gu Chaoxi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and reveal a slight smile on his face.

Originally, she was still wondering why the families living here, who didn't look unfamiliar to her, acted so strangely.

It turns out that some methods are needed to make them express themselves.

Qin Yi didn't say anything. Being stared at by four people, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

After just a moment's hesitation, Pei Yan stood up.

"Since Mr. Qin is unwilling to explain, it seems that there is no need for us to waste Mr. Qin's time. What do you think?"

He curled his lips into a smile, then turned sideways and extended a hand towards Gu Chaoxi.

She raised her eyes, smiled, and was about to raise her hand to put it in Pei Yan's palm, but she heard Qin Yi speak.

"I said."

"That's what I said."

Pei Yan sneered. It seemed that Qin Yi really wanted both.

Gu Chaoxi lowered his hands to his knees and leaned back a little, wanting to hear what Qin Yi had to say.

Therefore, from Qin Yi's subsequent description, we can understand what the relationship between him and Zhao Xiangxiang is.

If Qin Mo and Luo Zhi can be said to be a friendship tested in times of adversity, where two people comfort each other in the same situation, then Qin Yi and Zhao Xiangxiang are completely the control group.

Qin Yi knew since he was a child that Master Qin preferred Qin Mo, but this did not affect Qin Yi's honor as the legitimate son.

Therefore, Qin Yi has been very strict with himself since he was a child, and he strives to be the best in everything.

Knowing Zhao Xiang is actually reasonable.

Zhao Xiangxiang and her brother Zhao Zhiyan were both born to Madam Zhao. They were the two most pampered children in the Zhao family since they were young.

It is not surprising that these legitimate daughters and sons know each other because of some interactions between families.

Some families hope that their children can intermarry with each other in the future, which will be better for the family business.

So, this is how Zhao Xiangxiang met Qin Yi.

At first, the two of them were relatively familiar with each other just because they were both legitimate children of the family.

Later, Qin Yi discovered that Zhao Xiangxiang also liked some of the things that boys liked, so he paid more attention to Zhao Xiangxiang.

Zhao Xiangxiang is a very family-friendly person. After playing with Qin Yi, the relationship between the two naturally became better.

As for the relationship beyond that of ordinary friends, Qin Yi himself denied it.

But it's just a verbal denial.

Otherwise, why would he comfort Zhao Xiangxiang in that situation last night when he already had a fiancée?

Isn’t he worried that Shen Yunqian will be jealous?

Well, there is really no need to worry.

Not to mention that Qin Yi knew that Shen Yunqian had no feelings for him at all, let alone Qin Mo's special feelings for Shen Yunqian.

Even if Qin Yi wants to stay with Shen Yunqian, Qin Mo will interfere, right?

Besides, since Shen Yunqian didn't care about what Qin Yi was doing, it made sense that he went to comfort Zhao Xiangxiang yesterday.

"So what made you change your mind and tell us the truth today?"

Gu Chaoxi looked up, not in a hurry, since Qin Yi had come to explain to them about Mrs. Zhao's death yesterday.

I guess he knew what he would be asked and had already prepared himself mentally, right?

The reason why I tell the story in bits and pieces is just because of my self-esteem and the hope that I can get more attention?

Since he wanted to play, Gu Chaoxi was willing to play with him. There was nothing else important right now.

Qin Yi glanced at the empty seat next to the table, hesitating whether to speak.

Before he could say anything, Pei Yan sat down next to Gu Chaoxi and pointed at that place.

"Master Qin, please sit down and talk. We are not comfortable with you standing all the time."

Qin Wei nodded following this sentence and looked at Qin Yi with a smile.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still followed Pei Yan's instructions and sat down.

After a while, he slowly began to explain why he wanted to say it today.

"I, I'm worried about Xiangxiang."

Although he heard part of the conversation between Luo Yu and Mrs. Zhao yesterday, Qin Yi didn't know whether the previous incident in their conversation involved Zhao Xiangxiang.

He and Zhao Xiangxiang have known each other for many years, even though there is no possibility for them to become husband and wife.

However, Qin Yi would feel guilty if he saw his old friend suffer some misfortune.

He knew that Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan were investigating the deaths of Master Qin and Madam Zhao, so he wondered if this would help protect Zhao Xiangxiang.

Gu Chaoxi nodded. In fact, after just knowing their relationship, he roughly guessed what Qin Yi was thinking.

Nothing more.

"Why don't you protect Zhao Xiangxiang yourself?"

Gu Chaoxi asked very directly.

Qin Yi paused, looked into her eyes, and then looked away for a while.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the full ability to guarantee that if Xiangxiang encounters any danger, I can protect him."

"I haven't learned many self-defense techniques. Before that, I was just studying hard in the mansion, hoping to pass the imperial examination."

Yes, Mr. Qin is not an ordinary merchant, but a person in officialdom.

Such a person naturally hopes that his son will be able to inherit his mantle in the future.

She nodded, agreeing with Qin Yi's words.

However, the topic suddenly changed and was directed at Qin Yi again.

"Then do you know who killed Master Qin?"

Qin Yi seemed to be panicked for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and looked at Gu Chaoxi with some confusion.

"Why did Miss Shen suddenly mention this? If I knew how my father was killed, I would definitely not let that person go."

"is it?"

What if that person is you?

Of course, the latter sentence was just what Gu Chaoxi was thinking in his own mind.

Seeing Qin Yi shaking his head firmly, Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything else.

Pei Yan looked at her, then turned his gaze back to Qin Yi.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for telling us this, but these things still need to be verified, so I don't think it will happen so quickly."

After all, the bodies were buried, so it was unlikely to find any new clues from them.

Then we can only look for clues through living people.

Qin Yi obviously knew what Pei Yan meant, and bowed slightly to him with his fists clenched.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Zhou."
