Chapter 930: Yiyi, How Can Little Loli Be So Adorable
The Count and the Countess soon made their way out.
There were a group of guards surrounding the people so none of them saw who the people Ian brought were.
The guards only made s.p.a.ce when the Count and the Countess approached.
“Count, no matter what, now that he has yet to inherit your position, you should be the judge for me later…”
!!
When the Countess saw several severely injured individuals lying on the ground, the words of her half-completed sentence were stuck in her throat.
Just then, one of Ian’s subordinates said, “Count, these people tried to set fire to the manor where the Young Master was staying last night. They have all confessed and all of them are from the Countess’ maiden family.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” The Countess raised her tone and said, “How could I possibly do such a thing? These people are not from my maiden family at all!”
“They have all confessed.”
“Who knows if Ian had purposely created such a scene on purpose?”
The Countess suppressed her beating heart and insisted on her standpoint. “I didn’t even return to my maiden family during this period of time, nor did I invite anyone over. What’s more, Ian only told us yesterday that he was going to marry that foreign woman. Why would I send someone to burn down his manor?”
The Count glanced at her with a sharp gaze.
How could the schemes of the Countess possibly escape his eyes?
The Countess was frightened by his look, but she still had to appear strong and calm.
The Count looked away from the Countess and s.h.i.+fted his attention to the men who were beaten up to the point of being half dead. He then said to Ian’s subordinate, “Tell Ian that since it’s his engagement today, he shouldn’t cause such b.l.o.o.d.y incidents. Otherwise, the one getting humiliated would be himself.”
Having said that, he warned the Countess. “Ian is the heir to the Count’s position. If you want to live well for the remaining days, you better put away those little thoughts of yours.”
The Countess’s complexion turned pale and she hastily bowed her head and replied, “I understand.”
The Count felt annoyed and said, “Get rid of all these people.”
Having said that, he turned to leave.
The group of guards quickly carried those people lying on the ground away.
In the end, only the Countess was left standing there. She clenched her fists and her expression was distorted as she thought: “Ian, you harmed my son and now, you’re thinking of marrying a woman to inherit the Count’s position? Dream on!”
At the thought of this, she turned around and walked down a corridor.
After walking for some time, she arrived at a remote courtyard. She quickly walked into a utility room and whispered to one side, “Come out.”
Someone walked out from the backdoor.
“Third Miss.”
He was someone sent by her maiden family.
The Countess said sternly, “How’s everything I had asked you to prepare?”
“Third Miss, don’t you worry. Everything has been prepared. I guarantee that there will be a good show tonight.”
After hearing these words, the Countess finally revealed a relieved smile on her face. “Very good.”
Subsequently, she asked, “Did Father bring my son back home?”
“The Lord has already fetched the Young Master back home.”
“Good.”
The Countess felt that as long as her son was in safe hands, she would have no fear for anything else.
Since Ian harmed her son, she will make him pay back the injustice tenfold!
“A b.a.s.t.a.r.d born from a concubine dares to compete with my son for the position of the Count? Dream on!”
The Count’s position can only belong to her son and no one else can s.n.a.t.c.h it away!
…
After lunch, Ian called to urge Dou Xiangling to quickly make her way over.
Ian said in an uneasy tone over the phone, “I think I’d better come to pick you up instead, otherwise I won’t be at ease.”
Dou Xiangling stopped him from doing so. “You’re so busy, there’s no need to make a trip over. I’ll come over with my Brother.”
Zi Yi, who was seated next to her, answered, “I’ll get Little Loli to go with you later. Little Loli will be able to protect you.”
Ian was also at ease after hearing that. “In that case, I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the Count’s Mansion.”
And so, this matter came to an end.
After hanging up the phone, Dou Xiangling turned to look at Zi Yi and Lu Jingye. “Yiyi, you and Little Lu really don’t plan on going with us?”
“You’re going there to do your makeup and there’s nothing for us to do there.” Zi Yi waved her hand. “Besides, we are your guests and what should we do if we reach there so early?”
In fact, Zi Yi still had some private matters to attend to and so, she surely would not immediately tag along with them.
Since Zi Yi had said that, Dou Xiangling thought for a moment and did not insist. “In that case, the both of you should come by early later.”
It was impossible that she was not feeling nervous. Even though she had her brother tagging along, she was still nervous. Therefore, she hoped that Zi Yi could accompany her by her side.
Zi Yi seemed to have seen through her thoughts and she purposely revealed a teasing smile. “Cousin, this won’t do. Today is yours and Ian’s engagement banquet and yet you’re already feeling so nervous? When you get married in the future, would you still be so nervous and end up having Ian carry you back home?”
Dou Zerui added on. “When the time comes, I believe I should be the one carrying her to Ian’s house. Otherwise, she won’t even dare to walk.”
Dou Xiangling hammered Dou Zerui’s arm unhappily and said, “Continue making fun of me as you like. How could I possibly be so nervous that I can’t even walk?”
Even though she was indeed nervous, extremely nervous.
Zi Yi said with a grin, “Don’t just give us lip service. When you arrive at the Count’s Mansion later, Ian will surely introduce you to people there. You have to show off the aura of the future Countess to deter them. Don’t let them think that you’re an easy target.”
Dou Xiangling was moved by Zi Yi’s advice and she nodded her head. “I know. I won’t let others walk all over me.”
“Mhmm. With Little Loli around, I’m not worried that you’ll get bullied either.”
Little Loli who had just finished changing into a pom pom dress immediately answered, “That’s right, that’s right. Cousin, you have to trust me. I’m good at taking care of those green tea and white lotus b*tches. If they dare to bully you, I’ll make them start doubting their reason for living.”
After Little Loli said that, she lifted her arms and turned around in front of the group. “Do I look beautiful today?”
Zi Yi raised her hand and touched her forehead. “When you’re following my cousin, don’t even leave her side for a single second.”
Little Loli suddenly revealed an excited expression. “What if she and Brother Ian want to kiss and hug? I don’t have to make s.p.a.ce for them then?”
Zi Yi: “…”
Dou Zerui laughed until his stomach ached and said, “Yiyi, how can Little Loli be so cute?”
Upon hearing Dou Zerui’s praise, Little Loli instantly laughed merrily. She walked over and grabbed Dou Zerui’s arm. “Cousin, do you really think I’m cute? Hee hee…”
Everyone was amused by Little Loli’s actions.
Dou Xiangling’s nervous mood had calmed down considerably.
Soon, two people and a robot got in a car and drove away.
Zi Yi stood there and thought for a while before she asked Lu Jingye, “What are the movements on the Countess’ side?”
Lu Jingye took out an earphone from his pocket and inserted it in her ear. He then tapped on it before saying, “She’s planning to take action against Ian and Cousin tonight.”
“Hmph! I’d like to see who would be the one taking action against the other tonight.”
