Stealing Your Heart

Bai Yinning shook his head. “Not everything. She never told me anything about herself. She only told me briefly that her adopted parents were bad to her.”

The man looked out to the rising sun as he sighed. “Not many orphans will find themselves in good families.”

He was lucky to be adopted by Bai Hongfei, who had never married for life. Although he was not as caring like a mother, at least he had provided him with the fatherly love he lacked.

“So you’re calling me here to tell me that Yao Qingqing was not the culprit behind that incident?” Lin Xinyan asked cautiously.

“Yes.” Bai Yinning believed that Yao Qingqing was still the same innocent child as she was.

Plus, Zong Jinghao only guessed that she was the one who did it. Whatever happened to her boutique shop was not enough to drive her to commit such a horrible act.

“I called you out today to let her explain to you- face to face.”

The woman turned to him in surprise. What did he mean by that? Did he want her to meet with Yao Qingqing?

Not that she was heartless or refused to let go of the woman, but after watching that video footage, even she herself couldn’t have a grip on Yao Qingqing’s personality.

If she hadn’t seen that video, Lin Xinyan would definitely believe Bai Yinning without a doubt. But now, she was bugged by all sorts of unsolved mysteries surrounding the woman.

Zong Jinghao was not a 3-year-old kid. Even if he simply guessed it, there must be some sort of proof.

The results of their investigation also showed that Yao Qingqing indeed hid something from Bai Yinning.

“Actually…”

Lin Xinyan was about to tell him what she saw when the door of the private room was opened suddenly. It was Yao Qingqing, standing at the door awkwardly with her head lowered down. “Am I disturbing you?”

Lin Xinyan swallowed her words and forced a smile. “Not at all.”

Bai Yinning gestured for her to come in. “Ms. Lin is not a petty person. No need to be so tense.”

Lin Xinyan eyed Bai Yinning wordlessly.

“I asked you here to inquire a few things. In these last few days, have you been to any hotels?” Bai Yinning asked directly.

Yao Qingqing’s hands balled into fists under the table. She never expected Bai Yinning would suspect her and even call her here to help with Lin Xinyan’s investigation.

The woman turned to Lin Xinyan instead. “Did anything happen to you for you to suspect it’s my doings?”

“No…”
