Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Qin Xiao Is Furious
Xiao Li heard these words and thought to himself: How could he not be hungry? He exerted even more effort last night.
I’m already starving, how could he not be?
Xiao Li’s intuition was right, Qin Xiao was indeed hungry, but when preparing things earlier, he was focused solely on quickly making something for Xiao Li to eat; making an extra portion would take more time.
Though it was just a matter of a few minutes, Qin Xiao didn’t want Xiao Li to stay hungry even for those few minutes.
Xiao Li took another sip of milk, then passed the milk to Qin Xiao, wanting him to drink it...
Qin Xiao didn’t drink it, so Xiao Li also didn’t drink.
Helpless, Qin Xiao had to drink it, and when eating bread and eggs later, they took turns, bite by bite.
After sharing a portion of breakfast, they lay down again to continue sleeping.
In Mianmian’s room, Aunt Wu was dressing Mianmian.
Just as Qin Xiao finished making breakfast and was about to take it upstairs, he met Aunt Wu coming back from the garden to prepare breakfast.
Every morning, Aunt Wu would first go to a small clearing in the garden to practice Tai Chi for a while, then return to prepare breakfast just in time for Qin Xiao and the others...
However, today she returned to see Qin Xiao holding the breakfast, making Aunt Wu think she was late.
She quickly looked up at the clock on the wall and saw it was only 6:30.
Normally, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li would come down for breakfast at seven, so Aunt Wu preparing by 6:30 was just right...
Seeing Aunt Wu reminded Qin Xiao of Mianmian, so he said, "Aunt Wu, the Young Madam is hungry, I made her something to eat, she doesn’t have a shift this morning and will sleep a bit more.
No need to prepare breakfast for us today.
When Miss wakes up, please help her wash up and take her to Madam."
Aunt Wu hurriedly responded, "Yes."
After dressing Mianmian and letting her finish breakfast downstairs, Aunt Wu took Mianmian to Qin’s mother.
When Qin’s mother saw Aunt Wu bringing Mianmian, she asked curiously, "Why are you bringing her?"
Aunt Wu smiled, "The second Young Madam is on an afternoon shift today, so she’s still resting, Second Master asked me to bring Miss over first."
As soon as Qin’s mother heard this, she immediately understood.
Young people have good relationships, it’s normal, everyone has been young before...
Qin Xiao and Xiao Li slept until midday before getting up, after a morning’s rest, Xiao Li still felt somewhat uncomfortable but wasn’t as weak as she was in the morning.
After a simple freshening up, they went downstairs, and seeing Aunt Wu, Xiao Li felt a bit embarrassed.
Oh my!
Getting up this late, just anyone could totally imagine...
Upon asking about Mianmian and finding out she had been sent to Qin’s mother, Xiao Li’s face instantly turned red...
In embarrassment and anger, she pinched the skin on Qin Xiao’s waist, and with a mixture of shame and annoyance, she quickly ate something and then went to the hospital for her shift.
Can’t stay at home, at least not today.
Qin Xiao smiled as he followed Xiao Li, he didn’t have a shift today, but he always accompanied Xiao Li to work regardless.
At the hospital, before getting out of the car, Xiao Li specifically kissed Qin Xiao goodbye. Since her uncle liked her to be a bit clingy, she might as well be clingy!
Qin Xiao was taken aback when Xiao Li did this, and by the time he returned to his senses, Xiao Li had already gotten out of the car and entered the inpatient department.
Qin Xiao chuckled softly before pressing the button to lower the car partition; whenever Qin Xiao and Xiao Li sat in the back together, the partition would rise, but when Qin Xiao was alone, he put the partition down.
It was precisely because there was a partition that Xiao Li dared to kiss Qin Xiao; if there hadn’t been one, she wouldn’t dare show affection in front of others...
With the partition lowered, Qin Xiao was about to instruct the driver to head home but then received a phone call.
The call was from Qin Zilong, who had discovered something.
Upon listening, Qin Xiao immediately instructed the driver to head to Qin Zilong’s location.
The car drove into Heshun Villa, where Qin Zilong was waiting in his office on the second floor for Qin Xiao.
Heshun Villa is also a property of the Qin Family, though its ownership is not widely known.
The villa is most frequently used to host banquets and charity auctions for wealthy people.
Every one or two months, an auction is held.
Due to Heshun Villa’s long history, all auction items are of top quality, thus ensuring a high turnout of affluent participants...
On the surface, Qin Zilong is only an auctioneer here, the one holding the little hammer asking if anyone wants to bid higher.
Yet behind the scenes, the entire Heshun Villa is managed by him, ever since its establishment, management has been handled by Qin Zilong’s family branch, with the most outstanding individual from each generation selected to take over Heshun Villa.
In Qin Zilong’s generation, he was the most accomplished among his cousins.
Therefore, he took over Heshun Villa and assists Qin Xiao.
Qin Zilong also has an older brother, but his brother’s abilities aren’t as strong, so he follows Qin Tan and was dispatched to manage a branch in another province.
In the Qin Family, those who remain in B City to handle matters are the elite.
Qin Xiao, accompanied by Master Feng, arrived at Qin Zilong’s office, and Master Feng gently knocked on the door...
"Come in..."
Master Feng opened the door, letting Qin Xiao inside. Upon seeing Qin Xiao, Qin Zilong quickly stood up from his chair, "Second Master."
Qin Xiao sat opposite Qin Zilong, "What have you found out?"
Master Feng closed the door and stood guard outside to prevent anyone from interrupting...
Qin Zilong swiftly picked up a file from the desk and handed it to Qin Xiao, and as Qin Xiao took it, he deliberately stepped back a few paces...
Noticing Qin Zilong’s actions, Qin Xiao slightly raised an eyebrow and opened the file to review the information within...
The more he read, the darker his expression became, until his face returned to neutrality, as if nothing had occurred.
Nevertheless, this facade increased Qin Zilong’s anxiety, prompting him to retreat even further...
As Qin Zilong backed away, a decorative piece worth tens of thousands shattered on the floor where Qin Zilong had once stood...
After breaking an expensive ornament, Qin Xiao, with the documents in hand, coldly looked at Qin Zilong, "Are the findings reliable?"
Qin Zilong swallowed hard, "Reliable... one hundred percent.
Very few people know about it in the Wen Family, besides the involved parties, making it challenging to investigate them.
However, since you mentioned the Fang Family earlier, I shifted my focus to them and gleaned information from an elderly servant who has worked for decades at the Fang Family.
The elderly servant’s son had a gambling problem, causing numerous issues, and I leveraged this to obtain information from the servant.
Then, I sought another elderly attendant who had retired from the Fang Family and returned to their hometown.
Both of their accounts matched.
Subsequently, I investigated events involving Fang Family’s third lord during that period and confirmed he indeed visited the Wen Family...
Therefore, it’s likely true."
