Luo Xiaoman, who still wanted to ask, “You’d better make yourself clear. How is it just a minor injury? Where were you hurt?”
The more Luo Xiaoman thought about it, the more worried she became.
She couldn’t sit still anymore, so she weakly held her forehead and said, “Mingbo, I suddenly feel a bit unwell. Let’s go back first.”
Cui Mingbo, “Miss, your acting is a bit too poor, but I’ll pretend not to know.”
Qin Shou took Su Yu to bid farewell to the Su family’s Old Master.
Although Qin Shou wasn’t afraid of the Su family, as a guest, the necessary formalities still had to be done.
However, what the Su Old Master thought after seeing the big yellow cat in Qin Shou’s arms was not something Qin Shou cared about.
The Su Old Master sat in the main seat, surrounded by a circle of younger generations for company.
Su Wanwan was sitting to his right, and had said something that made the Su Old Master laugh heartily.
Seeing Qin Shou approach, the Su Old Master couldn’t put on too many airs.
Although Qin Shou was of a lower generation, his current influence in the capital was much greater than the Su family’s, not to mention that the Qin family was behind him.
Qin Shou was too lazy to deal with the Su family Old Master’s inner machinations.
He went straight to the point, “Old Mr. Su, I have some matters at my company and need to leave first. I’ve come to apologize.”
The Su Old Master evidently didn’t expect Qin Shou to come to say this.
After a moment of being dumbfounded, he smiled and said, “Mr. Qin is young and promising. Since you have important matters to attend to, you don’t need to worry too much about this old man.”
He then winked at Su Wanwan next to him, “Wanwan, Mr. Qin is a distinguished guest. You should see him off for me.”
Su Wanwan’s smile next to him was shy.
She secretly glanced at Qin Shou with a blush and softly agreed.
Seeing this, everyone understood perfectly and began to playfully tease them.
They only stopped awkwardly when Qin Shou didn’t respond at all.
Knowing the Su family Old Master’s intentions, Qin Shou secretly scoffed, but his expression remained unmoving.
He nodded and, ignoring Su Wanwan, carried the cat and walked out first.
Su Wanwan, who was following behind, tried to strike up a conversation several times, but Qin Shou was tall and had long legs, easily outdistancing Su Wanwan in a few steps.
Su Yu, who was being held by Qin Shou, pouted and secretly reveled in the unpleasant expression on her aunt’s face as she chased after them. “How dare you covet my litter-scooper? Did you even ask if I agreed?”
Just as Qin Shou left, Cui Mingbo came out supporting Luo Xiaoman to bid farewell.
Towards Luo Xiaoman, the Su Old Master’s attitude was not as good.
Looking at the person leaning weakly in Cui Mingbo’s arms, the Su Old Master said sarcastically, “Since Miss Luo is unwell, it’s best to go back and see to it early. Otherwise, people might think our Su family treated you poorly.”
“Yes,” Su Wanwan, who had returned from seeing off Qin Shou, also chimed in, “If people didn’t know, they’d think Sister Luo was troubled by love. My brother is getting married soon, so Sister Luo shouldn’t dwell on it anymore.”
Luo Xiaoman was still feigning illness, but upon hearing this, her anger immediately flared up.
This sister-in-law’s mouth had never been anything but cheap for a day.
Today, she had to give her a taste of her own medicine.
However, before she could get up and retort, she heard Cui Mingbo say blandly, “Both of you are probably overthinking. Xiaoman is now my person, and has nothing to do with the Su family.”
He then glanced at Su Qingwen, who was walking over, pulled Luo Xiaoman closer into his arms, and continued to add insult to injury, “Moreover, I believe that compared to the Su family head, I am not inferior. Miss Su, you should think more carefully before you speak in the future.”
“With me, why should Xiaoman be sad over a bad person?”
Luo Xiaoman’s mouth twitched in his arms.
For the second time today, she felt her head ache intensely.
Although Cui Mingbo’s words were quite shameless, it was undeniable that Cui Mingbo was indeed superior to Su Qingwen in many aspects.
Cui Mingbo started from scratch and single-handedly built the Cui family’s empire.
This kind of boldness was far stronger than Su Qingwen, who merely inherited his father’s business with mediocre results.
Furthermore, Cui Mingbo came from a shady background and was skilled in combat.
In terms of physique and temperament, he was infinitely better than the middle-aged, slightly overweight Su Qingwen.
Although no one said it aloud, everyone inwardly agreed with Cui Mingbo’s words.
Why refuse a diamond bachelor like Cui Mingbo and get entangled with a philandering man?
As long as Luo Xiaoman wasn’t out of her mind, she would know how to choose.
Noticing the subtle gazes of the crowd, Su Qingwen’s face flushed.
His narrow eyes narrowed, looking at Cui Mingbo and Luo Xiaoman with ill intent, “Mr. Cui, you exaggerate. Xiaoman and I have been husband and wife for over twenty years. She’s not the type to pester people endlessly, so why are you overthinking?”
Cui Mingbo looked at Su Qingwen with a half-smile, “I naturally won’t overthink.”
Seeing Cui Mingbo not taking the bait, Su Qingwen’s gaze darkened even further.
He glanced at Luo Xiaoman, who was feigning fragility, and the more he looked, the more he felt these two had already gotten together.
Too lazy to beat around the bush with him, he embraced the person in his arms and turned to walk towards the door.
“I’ll take my leave first, Mr. Su. Please remember to inform me when the Su family head gets married so I can come for a drink.”
Leaving the entire Su family with red faces, fuming with anger.
Leaving the Su family, Luo Xiaoman, feeling like she was on fire, pushed Cui Mingbo away and uncomfortably sat in the passenger seat.
Cui Mingbo walked around to the other side and got in.
Seeing Luo Xiaoman’s uneasy expression, his heart sank, but he still explained, “Miss, please don’t misunderstand. I just wanted to help you annoy them.”
Luo Xiaoman, “You just wanted to help me annoy them?”
Luo Xiaoman felt like everything she wanted to say was stuck in her throat by this person, feeling frustrated, she simply turned her head to look out the window.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Seeing Luo Xiaoman like this, Cui Mingbo felt even more anxious, thinking the young miss was still angry.
He didn’t dare to breathe loudly, driving back to the Luo family as quiet as a mouse.
Luo Xiaoman, “Seems even angrier, smiling face :)”
***
Qin Shou had originally planned to take Su Yu to the hospital for a check-up, after all, the claws of the eight women looked not only sharp but also colorful, who knew if there were any viruses.
However, Su Yu strongly refused. Didn’t want to go to the hospital.
A barrage of adorable begging and acting cute convinced him, so Qin Shou had no choice but to carry the cat home.
He bought disinfectant at the community pharmacy, preparing to disinfect the cub’s wounds himself.
Back home, Qin Shou placed the cat on the sofa, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then found a razor blade, preparing to shave the fur around the cub’s wounds.
Su Yu, about to become bald, was still oblivious, lazily sprawled on the sofa, tail swishing, calculating his little schemes.
Qin Shou laid down a large bath towel, picked up the meow, placed him on his lap, and then gently cleaned the injured ear with a cotton ball.
The fur on his ear got wet, and Su Yu, a bit unaccustomed, twitched his ear.
He looked at his owner in confusion.
“Meow-aow?”
Qin Shou’s gaze was gentle, his tone doting, “Be good, son. Dad will clean your wound, or you’ll get sick.”
This reason successfully convinced little Su Yu.
Su Yu lay docilely on the man’s lap, his round eyes comfortably narrowed from being petted.
After cleaning the wound, Qin Shou, taking advantage of the cub’s relaxed guard, took out the pre-prepared razor and began shaving the meow’s ear.
So, by the time little Su Yu realized something was wrong, the fur on little Su Yu’s ear had already been completely shaved off by the mad owner!
He stared in shock at the meow in the mirror, one ear completely bald, and ridiculously covered with a cartoon band-aid.
Little Su Yu was almost on the verge of a breakdown.
“This ugly meow must not be me.”
“Life is meaningless.jpg”
How could he go out and face anyone like this?
The whole meow exuded an aura of despair, almost unable to hold back whimpering.
Qin (the culprit) Shou completely failed to understand the meow’s despair, still chuckling, thinking how adorable his meow was no matter what.
Even if one furry ear was bald, it wouldn’t diminish the cub’s beauty in his heart.
Little Su Yu didn’t want to bother with this crazy person who made him bald, turning his back to him and sulking alone.
Qin Shou smiled helplessly, good-naturedly stroked the meow’s head, and then went to the office to handle company matters.
There wasn’t much to do, and he finished quickly.
Qin Shou leaned back in his chair, his long fingers rhythmically tapping on the desk.
The matter Lin Xiao was investigating should have some clues.
Sure enough, a moment later, the phone on the desk vibrated.
Qin Shou answered the phone, waiting for the latest progress.
Assistant Lin’s voice on the phone was as calm and reliable as ever.
“President Qin, the person you asked me to find has been located.”
“Where is he?”
“Still on his way to the capital. He… isn’t very cooperative.”
“Have someone keep a close eye on him. Once he arrives in the capital, send him directly to the suburban villa and lock him up.”
“Yes.”
Lin Xiao gave some more details, then hung up.
Qin Shou carefully analyzed the information Lin Xiao had found.
He had been looking for this person for a long time, and had never found any trace of him before.
He had even thought his uncle had silenced him, but now it seemed this scumbag was not only alive but had been hiding and living quite well.
These people had caused him to lose his mother, yet now they had happy families and lived freely and easily.
They thought their evil deeds went unnoticed.
How could there be such a good thing in the world?
“It’s not that there’s no retribution, it’s that the time hasn’t come yet.”
The person Qin Shou was looking for was his mother’s psychologist back then, surnamed Song.
At that time, his mother had encountered his father cheating during her pregnancy, and her mental state had been poor ever since.
The family found her a psychologist, but his mother’s condition not only didn’t improve but got worse and worse, eventually leading to suicide.
His mother was never a weak person, and… Qin Shou’s eyes flickered, his mother had sought help many times.
Back then, the Qin family only thought his mother had gone crazy from the shock.
He was young, and even if he realized something was wrong, he was powerless to stop everything that followed.
But he never forgot his mother’s death.
Now that the psychologist from back then had been found, investigating the subsequent matters would be much simpler.
Qin Shou narrowed his eyes, looking out the window.
Two days later, Qin Shou received a message from Lin Xiao saying that the person had arrived in Beijing.
Qin Shou wasn’t in a hurry to see him.
He ordered Lin Xiao to lock the person in the basement and have people keep a close eye on him.
He planned to starve him for a few days to break his spirit.
Fallen into his hands, and still thinking of running?
Qin Shou sneered, the things they did back then were enough to make them die a hundred times over.
This debt, sooner or later, would be settled one by one.
