Chapter 297 - 286: One More Update to Follow
Four people returned to the courtyard together, where Jianqing headed straight to the back yard after returning, while Xianglu gave Qin Zhen a meaningful look.
After entering the living room, Su Yan was trimming flower branches. Upon seeing the duo, she washed her hands, sat down, and after getting the details sighed, "Xiao Xiang, your brother still can’t let go."
Xianglu nodded, feeling a bit annoyed. She wasn’t sure what kind of trouble that Mr. Wan might cause next – if he reported to the school that her third brother was destroying his family, what then?
Xianglu repeated her concerns one by one, and Anna, beside her, glared and snorted, "Humph, that Wan is just a coward; he wouldn’t dare. I’ll talk to my brother when I get back. If he twists the facts, he better think about whether he can maintain his current position." The Wan family and the Ais were six of one and half a dozen of the other, none of which were favored by the Lu Family.
Qin Xi indeed came back late; they had dinner, and Qin Zhen sent everyone home, only to meet the late-returning Qin Xi at the door.
The brothers entered together, and Xianglu quickly rushed to the kitchen to fetch the warm food and soup she had kept ready, also asking about Lao Qi’s absence out of concern.
Qin Xi was really hungry, having only two pastries for lunch and skipping dinner till now. Seeing his condition, Xianglu quickly served him a big bowl of chicken soup.
After eating a few bites and having some soup, Qin Xi said, "Lao Qi had some things to take care of, he won’t be able to visit for a while." Then he looked around, lifted an eyebrow, and asked, "Where’s Jianqing?"
Xianglu anxiously explained what happened in the afternoon.
After hearing it, Qin Xi frowned, knowing Mr. Wan to be a hypocrite – outwardly inactive, but who knows what he might do covertly such as writing anonymous letters.
