Xin Qing brought up the incident when they went out for dinner that night. After turning it over in his mind, Ying Qingcang found that he was not reassured.
"It's better to have someone keep tabs on them," Ying Qingcang said.
Xin Qing sighed. "Even if no outsider knew the truth about the Xin family, there have to be at least some rumors in the wind, right? How can that Mr. Li be so clueless? Running into some random woman on the streets and then marrying her? Seriously? He'd invited a wolf into his house and he didn't even know it. He won't even have time to cry over it by the time something happens."
Ying Qingcang cut up the steak and then shoved a piece into her mouth. "Don't think about these things when you're eating. Come on. Let's eat!"
"Okay!" Xin Qing swallowed another piece of meat. "I don't have any classes this afternoon. Drop me off at Xin Yudie's house when you go to work later."
Xin Yudie was nearing
Ying Hao pressed a hand to his chest. Uncle Fu quickly poured Ying Hao a glass of water. "Old master, you shouldn't lose your temper with Young Master. You need to be mindful of your health." "The retard can afford to have a vacation in Egypt despite being banged up. I assure you, the state of his health is much better than yours." Ying Qingcang mocked, sarcasm dripping from his every word. "I'm not here to quarrel with you. I'm here to tell Xin Qing what the behest says." As it turned out, a day after Ying Qingcang and Xin Qing had obtained their licence, Ying Hao discovered that the previous lines on the behest had vanished; two new lines took their place. The new lines stated: Experience the trials and tribulations of the world without the wavering of heart and the swaying of will; only by working together as a pair can you navigate the world with ease and comfort; always bear in mind never to let your marriage be nullified.
Ying Qingcang grinned at her, and then he kissed her. "What do you think?" "Ah Sha!" Xin Qing said, picking up the child. Then she pointed at the enclosure not too far away and said, "Look! That's your little pony. Daddy has brought your little pony back from France!" Ah Sha had no clue what Xin Qing was on about, though she could feel her mommy's happiness at that moment. Plus, she heard mommy mentioned the word "pony", which had her perking up instantly. "Pony! Pony! Little Pony!" she squeaked happily. A middle-aged man dressed in a full riding gear led them into the stable, which was wide and well-maintained; not a single stench could be detected. There were several horses there, swishing their tails as they grazed on grass. It only took Xin Qing one glance to recognize Ah Sha's little white pony. "Look how big it's grown in just a few months!" Ah Sha was waving her tiny arms excitedly when Ying Qingcang raised
That night, when Ying Qingcang and Young Master Shen returned for dinner, Xin Qing recapped what happened during the day, though not without feeling a sense of lingering fear. Ying Qingcang glanced at Shen Batian, who was now sitting on the couch engaging Ying Hao in a game of Morra. "That year, Grandpa Shen got into a fight with someone. He suffered over twenty stab wounds and was shot five times in his shoulder and thigh during that fight. Not only did he survive, but he also killed his enemy. After that, he got to the hospital all on his own. The doctor in charge was so startled by the state of his injuries that he passed out." "Uncle Shen is a hero!" Xin Qing nodded. "Too bad Young Master Shen is nothing like him." Ying Qingcang smirked. "You'll know in the future!" Xin Qing stared at him. "What does he mean by that?" she wondered. "Alright! Let's eat!" Ying Qingcang kissed her and then led her into the dining hall.
Xin Qing and Zhang Mi glanced at each other. After that, Xin Qing picked up a teacup lazily and took a sip. Looking at Rong Siman briefly, Xin Qing said, "Well, go ahead. I'm all ears!" "Ah Cang and I used to be lovers. We've slept together before," Rong Siman said. As she stared at Xin Qing, the smile on her face held nothing but malice. "Aunty. I don't know what you've been smoking or what kind of loose screw you have in your head. But I suggest you go back and take your meds," Zhang Mi spat out. "Oh?" Xin Qing smiled, her expression bland. "Where's the proof? Do you have proof that you've slept with each other?" Rong Siman raised her chin proudly and leaned back in the couch. "He has a small mole on his lower abdomen. It is impossible to see it without taking off his underwear. You still don't believe me? Stop lying to yourself." "Haha!" Xin Qing nodded her head. "If you're referring to that time when you drugg
After quite a number of phone calls from the two women, Fang Qingping was persuaded to come to S City. Zhao Jiali had deliberately asked to meet him at her hotel. She had also asked Li Xiaoru to accompany her to the meeting. "Come, Xiaoru! Let me introduce you." Zhao Jiali grinned as she pointed at Fang Qingping seated across them. "This is Fang Lu's brother. He just returned from overseas. If you're free this weekend, why don't you bring the siblings around town and act as their tour guide?!" When she heard that the man was Fang Lu's brother, Li Xiaoru started treating Fang Qingping amiably. Glancing at Zhao Jiali, Fang Qingping smiled. That night, he smacked Zhao Jiali's ass once as she was climbing off her body. "What are you and Fang Lu planning?" Before Zhao Jiali could answer, the doorbell rang. Fang Lu walked in excitedly, not minding at all the fact that Fang Qingping was naked and that Zhao Jiali only had a bra on. Fan
Ying Qingcang was not someone who cared whether another person lived or died. Xin Qing did not think he would be kind enough to give Li Guihai a friendly warning. Ying Qingcang's response was beyond any of her expectations, though. "Yes!" Ying Qingcang said, nodding. Xin Qing stared at him as if she were looking at a ghost. "If I didn't tell him, the Li family will collaborate with Fang Lu. Since the execution of the investment plans will begin during the end of this year, I don't have time to play their game over and over again. My only option is to stop them from collaborating," Ying Qingcang slowly explained his reasons to Xin Qing. "Zhao Jiali isn't someone who knows her place at all. I don't feel like giving her any more chances." Xin Qing looked at him blankly. "So you told Li Guihai everything about her past?" "As if I have that kind of patience," Ying Qingcang said, pressing his lips into a line. "I just g
"Young master, did you do something that might make Miss upset?" Ah Che asked carefully, while opened the car door for Ying Qingcang. Ying Qingcang gave him a hard glare. "I'll drive on my own." Ah Che looked at Xin Qing, who looked at with tears in her eyes. Ah Che clenched his teeth and said, "Young master, I'll drive!" "Ah-ha! When did you dare to decide on your own? Or is it too much leisure time for you? If you have nothing else to do, I'm more than happy to send you to the African wasteland!" There was nothing Ah Che could do but watch him drove away the car with concern. "You really did something that wronged me." Xin Qing sat in the passenger seat, curled herself up into a ball and accused him, "You can't just send me away like this, I'm taking Ah Sha, we're leaving together!" Ying Qingcang gave her a glare. "Sit still, or I'll throw you out." Xin Qing twitched her
Wearing a bright red chiffon gown, Xin Qing covered her face with hands, feeling too shy to step out. She knew that Ying Qingcang liked sexy lingerie, but she could never think that he made her dress like this today when they were out. This, this was just embarrassing! She took such a long time to prepare, till Ying Qingcang started to yell outside, "Sweetheart! If you are not gonna come out, then I'll get in!" "Don't!" Xin Qing said hurriedly, "I'm coming out." If she let that man in, it would be a big battle in the bathtub. Ying Qingcang lay on the deck and watched her little woman walking out nervously from the cabin with his chin cupped in his hand. Then she just stood in the shadow, refused to step forward. "Come here!" The low voice was alluring her under the moonlight, he had a voice more beautiful than the mermaid's, very seductive. Xin Qing slowly walked into the moonlight, surrounded by the
"Chen Chen!" Ah Zi rushed in. Bear followed Ah Zi in, holding a baby in his arms. "Oh my God. Slow down. You just came out of confinement in childbirth." "Didn't you say you would arrive in a few days?" Chen Chen held her in surprise. Ah Zi stroked her belly. "Tut-tut, you look nice, but don't look very well." "Let me see!" Chen Chen reached out to Bear. Bear handed Chen Chen his son. "Is he beautiful?" he asked proudly. Ah Zi gave him a mean look. "It's because he looks like me. If he looks like you, he'd be called as Bear Minor." "I don't think that his current name is as good as Bear Minor!" Chen Chen twitched her lips. When Ah Zi gave birth to her son, she called Chen Chen and told her that her son's nickname was Nian Gao. Chen Chen could not believe it and asked why, and Ah Zi explained it this way. "Because of Tuan Zi! Nian Gao sounds like the name of T
Chen Chen jumped behind the stone statue, finding that its head was empty and there was a raised round part inside. She reached out and pressed it, but nothing happened. After twisting it clockwise, she suddenly heard a clicking sound, and a passage appeared right in front of the statue. "Sure enough..." Chen Chen jumped down, took out a bag of white powder from the backpack and sprinkled it on herself. Next, she took out a gun that she had stolen out of nowhere. When she was ready, she slowly walked down the passage against the wall. A dirty light bulb hung from the top of the stone wall. The passageway was not long, and she could see a wooden door at the end. Chen Chen carefully pushed open the door. Through the slightly opened door, she found that the stone wall inside was polished to be smooth, and someone even had papered it. To ensure safety, she threw in a stone. After it rolled over, nothing happened. "Che
When all the sand slipped through the pore of the hourglass, Chen Chen received a call from Wan Qingsi, who did not say anything over the phone, except that they would return tomorrow. "Tuan Zi, I feel that your father must be in trouble." Wan Qingsi did not give her a chance to speak. He clearly knew that she was worried about Jiang Rui, but didn't even mention him. "Mom, maybe Dad is so tired and falls asleep!" Tuan Zi gave her a pat. She was about to go on comforting her, but the phone rang again. Chen Chen was surprised to see the number, and she picked up the phone. "Yiyun?" Zhou Yiyun sat by the bed, staring blankly at Scar who was unconscious. "Yiyun..." Chen Chen walked in quietly. Zhou Yiyun looked up and smiled at her. "You are here!" "What did the doctor say?" Chen Chen sat next to her, looking at Scar whose face was covered with wounds. "Why does he keep sleepi
Long Zhen'ao walked up to Scar and stared at him for a long time. After seeing that he did not respond, he turned around and yawned, saying, "It's boring. Let's go. I'll get some sleep." "Remember to come and see them tomorrow," Kutcher reminded him. "I got it." Long Zhen'ao had already left, waving his hand casually. The island in the night was like a sleeping giant turtle. Some figures went through the forest in the moonlight. "Boss, Long Zhen'ao is here." Xiao Si pointed to the blue spot on the locator. "He has turned off the monitors on this path." Jiang Rui looked around, and said, "Just stay here and wait for my order. I will go with Bear." Along the route marked by Long Zhen'ao on the locator, Jiang Rui and Bear successfully found Long's room. "Hurry to change your clothes." Long Zhen'ao threw two black uniforms just like the one he wore. "Scar is in a bad condition, but Zhou Yiy
But Jiang Rui stopped her. "No, we can't get through to them." Chen Chen stared at him motionlessly and asked, "Why?" Jiang Rui put the luggage away and took out all the gifts she brought back. "Brother Xiao Rui?" Chen Chen asked with a look of panic, "Is something wrong?" Holding her in his arms, Jiang Rui slowly said, "Last night, I received a call from Xiao Si, and he said that he had lost contact with Scar..." "What does it mean to lose contact?" Chen Chen held him by the sleeve. "Are they missing?" Jiang Rui gave Chen Chen a pat to comfort her. "Scar gets a locator with him. But yesterday, Xiao Si suddenly found that the locator didn't work, so he called Scar but Scar's phone was switched off. He turned to call the landline and no one answered it." "What, what do you mean?" Chen Chen didn't want to say the answer she thought. "Liuliu." Jiang Rui looked a
Jiang Rui was acquitted. Before everyone knew what happened, news had come that the Lu family had been sealed up. Then it was revealed that Lu Tao had something to do with the death of both his cousin and grandpa. When everyone was understanding this news, a ten-year-old child appeared and said that he was Lu Tao's son, but his mother was killed by Lu Tao. As the public were overwhelmed by the waves of news, Chen Chen was looking at Jiang Rui with a meaningful look. "Come here." Jiang Rui waved at her. "Why do you sit so far away from me?" The man just took a shower, with a faint smell of soap. Chen Chen threw herself into his arms. "Brother Xiao Rui..." "What's wrong?" Jiang Rui pinched her ears. He hadn't hugged his lady for several days. He missed her very much. Chen Chen looked up and said with compassion in her eyes, "It's pitiful to be your enemy. They could be always killed someh
Jiang Rui told Chen Chen about the long story. Chen Chen didn't clearly understand some complicated parts, but she knew Jiang Rui would be fine, and that's enough. "Be a good girl. I'm sorry for leaving you alone at home these days. If you're afraid, you can invite Zhou Yiyun home." He had originally wanted Tuan Zi to accompany Chen Chen, but in that case, Chen Chen would feel that something was wrong. In order to reassure her, Jiang Rui had to make no other arrangements, but he still didn't feel relieved to leave her alone at home. "Don't bother. I'm not a kid." Chen Chen was finally relieved. Her sweet voice made Jiang Rui's heart so itchy. Later, he hushed Chen Chen to sleep. He didn't hang up the phone until there were uniform breathing sounds over the other side of the phone. Jiang Rui rubbed his paralyzed arm and stood up. "Come in." Bai Ziqi opened the door and came in. It was a
Once Jiang Rui had dinner with some government officers and was then arranged to rest in a hotel room. Zhou Yiyun was lying naked on the bed at that time, stubbornly looking at Jiang Rui with tears running down her face. But Jiang Rui only took a look at her and left in stride. "After Chief Jiang left, Scar came in." Zhou Yiyun said with a self-deprecating smile, "He said that I could stay until dawn, and asked me to keep my mouth shut." Chen Chen sighed. "It seems that Scar gave you a bad first impression! Is that why you turned him down?" "No." Zhou Yiyun shook her head. "It's my own problem." She asked Chen Chen, "If a man saw you in an extremely awkward position, will you develop a romantic relationship with him?" After hearing that, Chen Chen finally understood what Zhou Yiyun meant. She felt self-abased... "But that's all over!" Chen Chen felt it was a pity. Zhou Yiyun also liked
When they returned to the ward, the doctor was dealing with Zhou Yiyun's wound. "Miss Zhou, you will be certainly scarred in the future. Would you like me to introduce a surgeon to you?" Beside them, Scar said gruffly, "No. I'll arrange everything." The doctor had been scared almost to death by the man who was releasing the cold and dark air. After hearing that, he nodded immediately. "That's okay. Remember to change the dressings every day. Aside from your arms, your face needs more care." "Yiyun." Chen Chen held her with red eyes. "You can rest assured that I will make medicine for you, and that I won't allow you to be scarred!" After experiencing such a dangerous situation, Zhou Yiyun was very weak at the moment, yet she tried hard to give Chen Chen a smile. "It's okay. Anyway, the plastic surgery is so developed now that the scar can be removed." "You... You..." Chen Chen cried too hard to say an
