Chapter 74: Chapter 74: In the End, I Bore It All
Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes, there’s a tea restaurant nearby, the food’s not bad.
It opens at ten in the morning, so it’s a good time to go now..."
Xiao Li’s eyes lit up, "Then let’s go quickly!"
Qin Xiao told the driver the location, the car turned around, and headed to the tea restaurant.
At the tea restaurant, Qin Xiao ordered a few dishes he used to love, for Xiao Li to try...
When the food arrived, Xiao Li, who originally said she was hungry, didn’t eat as much as Qin Xiao...
Xiao Li only tried a bit of each dish, leaving the rest for Qin Xiao to finish.
If Qin Xiao didn’t eat, Xiao Li would say wasting food is shameful, then look at Qin Xiao with innocent eyes...
By the time they left the tea restaurant, Xiao Li was satisfied, but Qin Xiao was stuffed; while he was full, he also realized something: Xiao Li did it on purpose...
Haha...
In the end, he’s the one taking it all...
Looks like he’s got to figure out a way to become immune to women, otherwise his stomach can’t handle this kind of punishment!
On the way back in the car, seeing Qin Xiao stuffed, Xiao Li weakly said, "Hehe... I was really hungry, but earlier I got a little nauseated, so after a couple of bites I lost my appetite.
Sorry for your stomach, Uncle.
Let’s go home now!"
What could Qin Xiao say? He could only smile indulgently and told the driver to head home.
When they got home, Xiao Li went to nap.
She didn’t sleep well last night, just ate some food too, now all the blood’s gone to her stomach, making her sleepy.
Seeing Xiao Li asleep, Qin Xiao got up quietly, asked Aunt Wu to take good care of Xiao Li, then left.
In a high-end residential area downtown, Bai Yu was holding a cup of coffee, drinking...
Clearly having worked an overnight shift, instead of sleeping, he’s sipping coffee to stay awake...
Bai Yu wanted to sleep but couldn’t yet! He was waiting for someone...
When the doorbell rang, Bai Yu put down the coffee cup and went to open the door in a few steps.
"You’re here, come in!" After saying that, Bai Yu turned and headed back to the living room.
Qin Xiao walked in, closed the door, and then went to the living room.
Bai Yu stood behind the bar, "Want something to drink?"
Qin Xiao, "Anything will do..."
Bai Yu, hearing this, didn’t bother with anything else, just poured Qin Xiao a cup of the freshly brewed coffee...
After placing the coffee on the coffee table in front of Qin Xiao, Bai Yu sat opposite him, sipping his coffee lightly...
Qin Xiao picked up the coffee, took a small sip, he was still stuffed and didn’t really want to drink the coffee...
Seeing Qin Xiao put the coffee back on the table, Bai Yu finally spoke, "You said you wanted to talk to me, we can talk now..."
Qin Xiao didn’t speak immediately, just quietly looked at Bai Yu, and after a while, he said, "Who else from the Bai Family has returned besides you this time?
The uncle should have returned too, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly...
Uncle...
Turns out he knows everything!
Bai Yu took a sip of coffee, put it down, "You know quite a bit... I’m curious, when did you find out?"
Qin Xiao said plainly, "Not long ago...
Before returning to B City, I didn’t know about the deep ties between Xiao Li and the Wen Family either..."
Bai Yu nodded, "Now that you know, what do you plan to do?
The two old ones in the Wen Family are quite troublesome for your Qin Family..."
Before Bai Yu could finish, Qin Xiao already said, "Xiao Li is my wife, she’s more important to me than my life.
To the Qin Family, from the moment Xiao Li entered the Qin Family’s door, she’s part of the Qin Family.
The Qin Family is protective, if anyone bullies their family, they will all retaliate together..."
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s mouth curled up slightly, "Can Mr. Qin represent the whole Qin Family?"
Qin Xiao raised his eyes, his tone firm, "Yes!"
Bai Yu looked intently at Qin Xiao for a long time, then chuckled, "In that case... we can have a good chat, brother-in-law."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao also chuckled...
Bai Yu laughed, picked up the coffee and took another sip, "Let’s talk about yesterday’s car accident!"
Qin Xiao smiled, "Haven’t you asked someone to look into it yet?"
Bai Yu spread his hands, "Since you were coming, I spared the resources."
Qin Xiao smiled and nodded, then said seriously, "Yesterday’s car accident was orchestrated by members of Wen Family’s main house, but their purpose was just to warn me."
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Qin Xiao, "They had someone hit us on purpose, if they really wanted something to happen to us, they could have hit us during rush hour, with a secondary collision, the result wouldn’t have been good for us...
But they didn’t, they chose to hit us when I was entering a road with less traffic after a detour.
After the accident, I had someone check it out, and easily found it traced back to the Wen Family’s main house.
With their ability, erasing traces is too easy.
Yet they left the evidence there, what do you think it means?"
Bai Yu sneered, "What else could it be?
They just want you to know that my cousin carries this big hassle.
If the Qin Family doesn’t want to be their enemy, it’s best to give up on my cousin...
Hehe... those old things, even after decades, are still so self-absorbed, always thinking they can cover the sky with one hand, their ways of threatening people are still exactly the same as before..."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "You know those two very well."
Bai Yu pursed his lips, "Among the men of our family, none doesn’t understand them.
Even though I haven’t met them in person yet, before returning to the country, I’d already known their ’glorious deeds’ by heart."
Bai Yu’s status in the Bai Family is a bit akin to Qin Xiao’s.
On the surface, they seem insignificant in their families, not participating in family business management, pursuing what they wish outside.
However, they actually hold the family’s network in their hands, constantly monitoring all aspects of the family; the undercurrents below are never less than what’s on the surface...
The Wen Family’s main house is part of the first rival phalanx within the Bai Family in the country.
Because of them, Bai Ruoqing, the cherished youngest daughter of the Bai Family, had to endure the pain of separation from her daughter, without mother and daughter ever meeting again in their lives; Bai Ruoqing eventually died of melancholy, burdened by grievances...
Yet, during the time when Bai Ruoqing needed their help most, the Bai family’s internal affairs were in turmoil, leaving them too occupied to help...
Though in the end, the faction led by Bai Yu’s branch successfully won the internal war, the detriment caused by the battle significantly wounded the Bai Family...
