Chapter 109: Tang Bao cried, and she cried fiercely

~7 min read 1,272 words

Xu Yanqiu's comfort had a little effect, but not much.

Xie Wantang buried her face in her neck, and before long Xu Yanqiu felt warm liquid flowing into her neck.

Xu Yanqiu stayed still the whole time, quietly accompanying her treasure, letting Xie Wantang vent her emotions freely.

Xie Wantang's mood was poor, and the Qin family all sensed it.

Nobody said anything, and Xie Wantang thought she had hidden it well, having dinner normally with them, eyes red; she had already prepared an excuse, that shampoo got in her eyes while washing her hair.

After the meal, Xie Wantang returned to her room and locked herself inside alone.

Her emotions erupted completely.

Xu Yanqiu accompanied her the whole afternoon; in the evening, Xie Wantang didn't want to take up more of her time, hoping she could have some time for herself.

However, after Xu Yanqiu finished speaking with Xie Ningmeng and exchanged greetings, just as she turned the corner onto the second floor, the three Qin brothers invited her to the small parlor nearby.

Facing the three handsome Qin brothers like this, and being outnumbered three to one, Xu Yanqiu couldn't help but feel her heart pounding.

It's not her fault for being so lacking; it's really that her treasure's three brothers are truly top-tier handsome guys.

Usually, just seeing one of them is already good.

Now that she's staying at the Qin household, she gets to share breakfast and dinner with these three top-tier handsome guys every day.

"Qin Eldest, Qin Second, Qin Third, what's wrong?" Xu Yanqiu giggled, like a little fool.

She knew they were surrounding her for the sake of her treasure.

She just didn't know whether her treasure would allow them to speak.

Her role today was just to accompany; the two best friends hadn't even had a chance to chat when the Qin family returned right on time.

Hearing the sound of their car returning, Xie Wantang almost instantly adjusted her emotions.

"Miss Xu, what's wrong with Tang Bao? The steward said she was off when she came back at noon, and then you accompanied her for an afternoon, right?" Qin Eldest got straight to the point.

Qin Second and Qin Third stared at Xu Yanqiu with burning gazes; under such looks, she couldn't lie and didn't dare to.

"Wantang..."

"Hurry up and say it." Qin Second and Qin Third urged in unison, anxious.

"Um, I don't know what happened, but she told me she married the wrong person—that Lu Yanshen is really shameless; back then he didn't even make things clear to Wantang, causing her to feel this awful now."

"Gentlemen, Wantang said she married the wrong person; could it be that she was actually supposed to marry Lu Chen?"

"..."

Qin Second was the first to snap back: "Fine, Zhou Wen Ting, you told her not to hypnotize Tang Bao, yet you did it anyway, right? I'm going to settle the score with her."

Saying that, Qin Second ran off angrily to call Zhou Wen Ting.

"Miss Xu, did Tang Bao tell you it's Lu Chen?" Qin Eldest was the most composed.

Actually, Tang Bao doesn't need to say it; he should already know.

The only person he knows who looks like Lu Yanshen is Lu Chen.

He never expected Lu Chen to be the lifesaver of him and his sister.

"She didn't say anything, and I didn't ask; I just stayed with her—if she wants to speak, she will when I don't press." Xu Yanqiu said.

Qin Eldest nodded: "Miss Xu, no wonder Tang Bao treats you as a best friend; thank you, go rest in your room, sorry for the disturbance."

"It's fine, Qin Eldest."

Xu Yanqiu felt that every member of the Qin family was outstanding, possessing both virtue and talent.

Clearly she was just borrowing their home and disturbing them, yet they were still so courteous and polite toward her.

She had only asked a couple of questions, and then said she was disturbing her.

This made her feel quite embarrassed.

Qin Eldest didn't even knock on Xie Wantang's door; he just told Qin Third something, then went downstairs and drove out.

Meanwhile, after Qin Second finished his call with Zhou Wen Ting, he also followed Qin Eldest out.

He drove his own car.

Qin Third:???

They all went out?

Where are they going?

No one even told him; it's really inconsiderate.

Qin Third had nowhere to go and didn't know who to look for, so he simply returned to his room, continued arranging manpower, and sped up dealing with that Lu surname.

How dare they deceive his family's Tang Bao, giving her no favor yet demanding repayment—truly shameless.

He originally wanted to let them show off a bit longer.

But now it seems better to forget it.

Don't show off; he won't give them the chance.

Green Leaf Bar.

Qin Eldest and Qin Second drove out in their own cars, one after the other, and it turned out their destinations were the same.

The people they were looking for actually all ended up in the same bar.

Moreover, Zhou Wen Ting and Lu Chen were in the same private room.

Qin Eldest arrived first, and Zhou Wen Ting made space for Qin Muyang and Lu Chen.

Qin Muyang's reputation as a top lawyer is famous nationwide; Zhou Wen Ting naturally knows him, especially since he's the elder brother of Qin Mu Feng.

Zhou Wen Ting is a hypnosis expert, a leader in that field; Qin Muyang naturally knows her as well.

Zhou Wen Ting left the private room, just reached the lobby, and that goofball Qin Mu Feng came over.

Qin Mu Feng entered, spotted Zhou Wen Ting at a glance, and strode over to her.

Zhou Wen Ting sat at the bar and asked the bartender for a drink.

Qin Mu Feng walked over, sat down next to Zhou Wen Ting, and launched into a series of questions: "Doctor Zhou, what do you mean?"

"What what do you mean?" Zhou Wen Ting wasn't pretending to be dumb; it was Zhou Mu Feng who just came out with that out of the blue, and she really didn't understand.

"You're pretending not to understand, aren't you?"

"What are you pretending to be stupid about? Oh, you mean Wantang asked me to do hypnosis?" Zhou Wen Ting suddenly realized.

"Exactly, I didn't call you ahead of time to say not to give her hypnosis? Pregnant women can't have hypnosis, you don't know that?"

"Whether pregnant women can have hypnosis has never been a blanket rule, Qin Er, no, Doctor Qin, you're also a top expert in this field—how can you be so narrow‑minded?"

"Wantang's physical condition is excellent, her fetal state is stable, I checked before giving her hypnosis, so rest assured, it won't affect your nephew."

"That's not how you put it—if something goes wrong, who's responsible?"

"Then the question is, did anything go wrong?" Zhou Wen Ting fired back quickly.

"…"

Qin Mu Feng got stuck, arguing with Zhou Wen Ting, and he was never a match for her.

But he was unwilling to accept it—"Tang Bao cried, and she cried fiercely."

Zhou Wen Ting's hand holding the glass suddenly paused.

How did she end up crying?

When she left her place, wasn't she fine?

Zhou Wen Ting put down her glass, turned to look at Qin Mu Feng, and said, "Qin Er, you didn't lie to me? She really cried?"

Hearing Zhou Wen Ting call him that a second time, Qin Mu Feng's brows furrowed: "No, Zhou Wen Ting, what did you just call me?"

"…"
