Chapter 259 Your Two Lineages
Wang Qin quickly replied, "Yes, it's true. My colleague recommended that school. Her son goes there. I don't remember the name of the school, but I'll ask her and send it to you later."
"Okay, then send it to me to take a look."
Qiao Xing hung up the phone after speaking, and scratched her hair in frustration.
It was a traffic light, and Qin Ce turned to look at her. "Your mother?"
"Hmm." Qiao Xing leaned weakly against the window, the joy and excitement from before gone.
Qin Ce could basically guess what it was about from her conversation. He stared at Qiao Xing for a while but didn't say anything.
When the green light came on, he drove off.
When he was almost home, Wang Qin called again, and Qiao Xing patiently answered.
"Just send me the name on WeChat."
"No, I called to tell you that you don't need to borrow anymore, I've already borrowed the money. I'm sorry, Xingxing, for troubling you."
Wang Qin's polite words came from the other end of the phone, making Qiao Xing's mood even heavier.
"Who did you borrow it from?"
"Don't worry about it, it's all over now. It's so late, you should go to sleep. I won't bother you anymore."
This time, Wang Qin hung up the phone first. Qiao Xing stared blankly at his phone, not even noticing that the car had been parked for a long time.
Wang Qin's words just now sounded like she was accusing her daughter of being cold-blooded, asking so many questions about lending her 20,000 yuan, like interrogating a criminal, unlike how easy it is for outsiders to lend money.
Although Wang Qin may not have meant it that way, it still made Qiao Xing feel uneasy.
The already fragile relationship has become even more broken and scattered because of this incident.
"Qiao Xing?"
Qin Ce called her several times before Qiao Xing came to her senses. She looked at Qin Ce blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Ce said, "We're home."
Under the parking lot lights, Qin Ce noticed that her expression wasn't good and asked, "What did your mother say to you?"
Qiao Xing lowered his head and remained silent for a while, unsure of what to say.
Qin Ce has helped Wang Qin so much, but she hasn't done anything. I'm going to tell him what happened earlier, and I wonder what he'll think.
Qin Ce wasn't in a hurry. He turned off the engine and waited for her quietly.
After a long while, Qiao Xing finally looked up and said to him, "She just asked me for money, saying she found some school for Xiao Xi. I asked her the name of the school, and then she called to say she had borrowed it."
"I don't know if she actually managed to borrow it, or if she just doesn't want to borrow from me anymore."
As Qiao Xing spoke, she sighed in frustration, "I only asked her the name of her school because I was afraid of being scammed. It's not like I didn't want to lend it to her..."
She was starting to ramble.
She was also conflicted. On the one hand, she couldn't get over the estrangement caused by Wang Qin's abandonment of her, and on the other hand, Wang Qin's attitude made her feel that she was too cold-blooded.
Qin Ce raised his long, slender hand and placed it on her head. "Alright, stop worrying about this."
"You two are from the same lineage, both with awkward personalities."
Qin Ce's words hit the nail on the head; it was awkward, both mother and daughter were awkward.
I can't bring myself to be ruthless, and I can't get over this hurdle.
Qiao Xing bit her lip and looked at him resentfully, "Then what should we do?"
"That's a question for you. Do you want to get involved in her affairs?"
“If you want to get involved with her, go and find out what happened. If she really needs the money, lend it to her. If you don’t want to get involved with her, since she’s not asking you for money anymore, just pretend it never happened.”
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then steeled himself and put his phone back in his pocket. "Fine, let her be."
Qin Ce naturally respected her decision and pushed open the car door to get out, saying, "Then let's get out. We haven't eaten dinner yet. Aren't you hungry?"
This car is too narrow; it's not suitable for him to drive. His legs almost broke driving this road back.
Qiao Xing got out of the car with him and followed him upstairs.
She was so careless that she bumped into Qin Ce's back when she reached the elevator.
Qin Ce glanced back at her and immediately noticed her distracted state.
He didn't point it out, but pulled her in front of him, and as soon as the elevator doors opened, he pushed her inside.
After arriving home, Qin Ce placed the bag containing the money on the coffee table for her to keep, and then went to the kitchen.
Qin Ce took out his phone and made a call. "Go and find out what's going on with that Wang Qin."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, opened the refrigerator, took out some vegetables, and started cooking.
On the other end.
In Wang Qin's rented room, she transferred 20,000 yuan to a bank account, put down her phone, and looked at the man opposite her.
"The money has been transferred to you. Can you leave now?"
The man was in his forties, wearing a black cotton-padded jacket. He was a bit overweight and had thinning hair, but his facial features were still quite defined. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.
He crossed his legs, shook them, and checked his mobile bank card balance.
After seeing the money in his account, he grinned at Wang Qin and said, "Not bad. You've been away for days and you managed to borrow 20,000 yuan so easily. If I had known you were so popular, I wouldn't have stopped you from running away."
Wang Qin clenched her fists, angry but dared not show it on her face, because Lin Xi was in the room.
And on the coffee table, there was a kitchen knife.
She said, "I've already given you the money. Didn't you promise me that you'd let us go after you got the money?"
Lin Qiang chuckled, picked at his ear, and leaned back casually on the sofa. "What's the rush? I'm your husband, what can you do if I don't leave?"
"You..." Wang Qin was both angry and scared. She never expected that Lin Qiang would find this place.
This was all thanks to He Fen. Lin Qiang knew where her hometown was, so when he couldn't find her, he went directly to Wang Ye's house.
When He Fen saw his fierce and murderous demeanor, she immediately told him Wang Qin's address, making it easy for Lin Qiang to find her.
When Wang Qin got home from get off work, she saw him standing at the door, which scared her so much that she almost died on the spot.
His appearance instantly brought her back to reality; all the freedom and ease she had enjoyed these past few days vanished like a shattered bubble.
It dragged her from the human world back to hell.
Lin Qiang looked around the room and clicked his tongue in amazement, "You're really something, living in such a nice house."
Although the apartment is a one-bedroom unit, it's a well-furnished apartment that looks much better than the old neighborhood they used to live in.
Moreover, it's close to the subway, and many white-collar workers who work in the city live here.
The corridor was equipped with surveillance cameras, which is why Lin Qiang didn't take any action.
"Then what else do you want?"
Lin Qiang said, "What do you mean, 'what do you want'? You're my wife. Isn't it natural for husband and wife to live together? You don't think everything will be fine just because you're here, do you?"
He suddenly sat up straight, leaned forward, and smiled sinisterly. "Wang Qin, let me tell you, you want to get rid of me? No way."
The man's voice was like a persistent ghost, invisibly choking her, making Wang Qin's scalp tingle and suffocating her.
Lin Qiang then seemed to remember something, "Oh, the Xingxing you called earlier, is that your other daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qin tensed up. Her hands and feet turned ice-cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold chilled her entire body.
Wang Qin dared not think too deeply about it, and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do!?"
"When I came here, I heard from your sister-in-law that your daughter has married a rich man, and her husband is a senior executive at some big company. Why don't you ask her for more money?"
Lin Qiang curled his lip in disdain, "At least we should have a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. This place is too shabby."
