Chapter 1169: Asking Qin Qin Pengcheng, Su Xiaoxiao's Little Boyfriend Qin Xingchao!
Back in the room, Su Yang sat on the sofa, his brow slightly furrowed, as if pondering something.
Liu Mengyun said softly, "Thinking about Su Xiao's matter?"
"Mm!"
"Are you planning to step in?"
"Step in?" Su Yang shook his head. "No, if I can avoid stepping in, I won't. But I want to know how things happened, and I want to know whether there's the shadow of the Qin family behind this."
Su Yang was an open-minded man.
When it came to his own sister dating, he was fairly supportive.
Even if someone made his sister cry her eyes out, as long as the other party hadn't committed some principled offense and his sister hadn't suffered any substantial harm, Su Yang wouldn't pursue it.
It was just that Su Yang didn't want any faction to step in.
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"I'll go ask General Qin!"
Su Yang's method was direct and straightforward—go straight to ask Qin Qin Pengcheng.
Now, he had the standing to do so.
Liu Mengyun nodded. "That method is indeed not bad. I think General Qin wouldn't stoop to such underhanded means to ally with the Su family through marriage."
"Mm!"
"Let's go together," Liu Mengyun said. "Now Su Xiaoxiao counts as my sister too."
"Alright!"
It was already late, but Qin Qin Pengcheng had just left the Su residence, so of course he hadn't gone to bed.
After the butler reported their arrival, Qin Qin Pengcheng received Su Yang and Liu Mengyun in the study.
After Su Yang told Qin Qin Pengcheng about his sister and Qin Xingchao, Qin Qin Pengcheng laughed heartily and said, "Actually, I already knew about this. After Qin Xingchao and Su Xiaoxiao started seeing each other often, someone reported it to me. But I couldn't possibly stop it… If Qin Xingchao really ends up with your sister, I'd absolutely be delighted!"
"If my sister likes him, I have no objections either!"
Su Xiaoxiao was Su Yang's sister, so Su Yang would still prioritize his sister's preferences.
He didn't like anyone meddling in his own romantic affairs, and he believed his sister would absolutely dislike having her feelings meddled with either.
"General Su, it's great that you think this way!" Qin Qin Pengcheng said with a smile. "I know this boy Qin Xingchao—he keeps himself clean, might be a bit scheming, but he's not a bad person, and he's no fool. He would absolutely never do anything to hurt your sister."
Su Yang consulted the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, and the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly told him that, judging from the soul fluctuations, General Qin wasn't lying!
Upon learning this, Su Yang felt a bit more at ease.
"Then let's just let things take their natural course!"
"That's what I was thinking too."
After asking Qin Qin Pengcheng about some of Qin Xingchao's circumstances, Su Yang rose with Liu Mengyun and took his leave.
Leaving Qin Qin Pengcheng's home, Su Yang easily located Qin Xingchao's residence.
The Qin family was a large clan; not all of the Qin family members lived in Qin Qin Pengcheng's main residence.
Liu Mengyun said with a smile, "Still not reassured?"
"Some things still need to be confirmed—at least I'll know where I stand!"
"You're really two-faced. You tell Su Xiao you won't meddle, and then in the blink of an eye you run off to ask General Qin about her little boyfriend's situation. You tell General Qin to let things take their course, and the moment you leave his door, you double back to find Qin Xingchao… Su Yang, you're not a sister-obsessed brother, are you?"
"What sister-obsessed nonsense—I just want to get to the bottom of Su Xiao's matter!" Su Yang said irritably. "What I told Su Xiao, and what General Qin said—those were all well-meaning lies!"
