Chapter 304 - 84: Empty Talk is Worthless
Quan Shaoqing shook his head violently and said, "I’ve only heard things, how could I possibly know the whereabouts of your daughter."
"Why would Young Master Quan ask such a question?" Fu Qiuyi sensed a sliver of hope. There were no questions without reason in this world, and Quan Shaoqing had asked that for some reason.
Putting down his cup, Quan Shaoqing coughed lightly, stood up, and looked at Fu Qiuyi indifferently, "Actually, I’ve heard about your past. I was just curious."
"Young Master Quan, if you truly know the whereabouts of my daughter, please tell me. When she left, she was still so young, I don’t even know if she’s been well. I owe her too much over these years..." Fu Qiuyi immediately clung to Quan Shaoqing. Without giving him a reason, he insisted on getting some clarification, knowing that he knew something.
He wouldn’t let slip even a thread of hope.
Quan Shaoqing held his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Just now, in a moment of impatience, he had asked too directly. He hadn’t expected Fu Qiuyi to be so desperate in his search for his daughter that he wouldn’t even let him go.
Considering he might be his future father-in-law, he couldn’t afford to offend him now, but he couldn’t just admit to anything either.
What if he was lying? What would happen to Xiao Xi? That would be irresponsible towards her. He still needed to investigate, but first, he had to tell Gu Xiaoxi.
Quan Shaoqing ignored Fu Qiuyi and turned to walk towards the garden to look for Gu Xiaoxi and Zhang Jingyue.
