Chapter 555: A plot
Qin Mufeng didn’t hide it at all, and he was even afraid that Xi Yaohua couldn’t tell. He looked at Xi Yaohua very obviously and said, "I didn’t tell you because I knew you’d bring outsiders to get involved. It’s not appropriate for outsiders to get involved in our own family’s matters."
Xi Yaohua pretended to be hurt by Qin Mufeng’s words, "Brother, how can you call me an outsider? Muran and I are fiancé and fiancée, and we also intend to get married. So, how can I be an outsider? You may have misunderstood me because of some things, but it doesn’t matter. We’ll have a lot of time to clear up the misunderstanding in the future."
"But right now, Uncle’s condition is the most important." Xi Yaohua asked, "How’s Uncle’s condition now?"
Qin Mufeng lowered his eyes and said, "It’s nothing serious. It’s all good now that he’s woken up. The matter looks serious, but the injuries are actually very light. You don’t have to worry."
Qin Mufeng had been in the business world for some time and thus he felt that it was not good for Xi Yaohua to know the truth.
As soon as Qin Mufeng finished speaking, Qin Muran replied, "Brother, now that we are here, you can go ahead with your work. We’ll stay here and watch over dad."
Qin Mufeng smiled, "It’s okay, Muran. I am done with my work today. I can stay with dad today and if you want you can come tomorrow. We can take turns in taking care of him."
Qin Muran’s face turned dark. ’Why was her brother not listening to her today?’
She was just adamant on staying with Qin Yicheng today as she wanted to be the first person Qin Yicheng saw when he woke up. That way, she would appear filial and receive more benefits. If she was the first person he saw when he opened his eyes, and he saw that the person he had high hopes for, Qin Mufeng, who he had designated as the heir, was not by his side, wouldn’t Qin Yicheng be even more disappointed in Qin Mufeng and change his opinion of her?
