Chapter 327 An extraordinary identity?
Qiao Xing's words made a lot of sense, and he successfully persuaded Bai Yi.
Bai Yi took the lunchbox and ladled out a bowl of chicken soup for her. "Drink more."
Qiao Xing nodded. Wang Ye's cooking skills were indeed excellent, and she drank several bowls in a row.
It's a little better today than yesterday; it doesn't hurt as much, but it's still a bit burning and itchy.
Qin Ce didn't show up at the hospital all morning. Fortunately, Bai Yi didn't have to work today and stayed here with her.
With Bai Yi accompanying Qiao Xing, Wang Ye had another reason to take care of the child.
After spending these few days together, Linlin wasn't so averse to Wang Ye, but she still didn't like him, and the two often bickered.
In the afternoon, Wang Ye brought Linlin to the hospital as well.
The little guy was quite hostile towards Wang Ye. When he entered the room, he broke free from Wang Ye's hand and even kicked him.
Although it wasn't serious, this behavior infuriated Wang Ye.
"You little brat! You're repaying kindness with enmity, aren't you?"
Linlin immediately ran behind Bai Yi and stuck his tongue out at Wang Ye. Now he was no longer afraid of Wang Ye, and he always went against Wang Ye.
Bai Yi grabbed Linlin by the back of his collar to stop him, then looked up at Wang Ye and asked, "Why did you bring him here?"
Wang Ye said irritably, "Then where am I supposed to take him? I can't exactly take him back to my mom's, can I?"
Speaking of He Fen, Wang Ye suddenly added, "By the way, my mom has been looking for someone to look at houses these past few days. She's planning to sell her current house."
Qin Ce had previously said he wanted to buy this house, but now He Fen has asked someone else to look at the house, which Wang Ye feels is not a fair thing to do.
He couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he could only tell Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing didn't care. She had really wanted to buy that house before because she wasn't sure how long her marriage with Qin Ce would last.
She needs a sense of security, and she has lived in that house since she was a child, so she has a deep emotional attachment to it. Only when she returns home does she feel at ease.
But now, she feels she doesn't need that house anymore.
In addition, Qin Ce said that the house might be demolished, so buying it would be useless.
"Did it sell?" Qiao Xing asked again.
Wang Ye shook his head. "No, I've come to see a few, and they all think 500,000 is too expensive. The real estate market isn't doing well this year, and many properties have seen price drops. Older houses are even less valuable."
Wealthy people won't buy this kind of old house, and those who don't have money are even less willing to pay a high price for it, so this house is destined to be hard to sell.
Three people came to see it, and the highest offer was only 400,000. They wouldn't accept anything more.
He Fen is also worried about this matter now.
She saw off a prospective house viewer and was just about to go inside when she suddenly saw a convoy of cars—all black Bentleys—driving into the neighborhood.
He Fen loved to join in the fun, so she immediately ran to the outside of the corridor to take a look. She saw the cars parked neatly on the side of the road, and a large group of people were getting out of the cars.
All of these people were dressed in suits and were tall and muscular. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was also wearing a suit.
The middle-aged man, surrounded by a group of people, went upstairs.
He Fen sensed that these people were not good people, so she quickly hid inside the house and secretly opened the door a crack to peek.
Seeing her acting suspiciously in his house, Wang Yue couldn't help but come over and ask, "What are you doing?"
"Keep your voice down!" He Fen turned around and glared at him. "Old Qin's family next door has a bunch of people. What a grand entrance. They must have offended someone."
"You absolutely mustn't go out later. If they come to our house, just pretend you're not inside."
Thinking back to when Lin Qiang came before, the first place he went to was their house. Now, this group of people might be coming to find them again.
He Fen cursed inwardly that getting involved with Qin Ce and his wife was the worst luck imaginable!
The group of people stopped at the door of Old Master Qin's house, and the middle-aged man at the head of the group raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Master, I have been ordered by the master to come and take you back to the capital."
He Fen was stunned when she heard the address. She swallowed back the curses she hadn't finished thinking about, and her mind was filled with all sorts of winding mountain roads.
There was no response from inside, so the middle-aged man raised his hand and knocked on the door three more times.
"Sir, are you home?"
This respectful tone was clearly quite different from what He Fen had imagined.
So, He Fen mustered her courage, opened the door, and went out.
"Oh, are you looking for your in-laws?"
Hearing her address him as "old in-law" from behind, Wang Yue was speechless and felt embarrassed.
Upon hearing this, Lao Zheng turned to look at He Fen.
The man's powerful aura made He Fen nervous. "Who are you two?"
He Fen immediately introduced herself, "Me? I'm related to this old man Qin by marriage. My niece is his granddaughter's husband. What do you want with him?"
Old Zheng scrutinized He Fen and Wang Ye from head to toe. Although he didn't show any disdain or contempt, the way he looked at them like they were merchandise made He Fen very unhappy.
He Fen continued, "He went out for a walk early this morning and isn't home right now. It's no use knocking all day."
"Where did he go for his walk?"
"It's the neighborhood downstairs, who are you people, why are you talking like that..." He Fen didn't know how to describe it for a moment, but she felt that the way this person was talking was strange.
Old Zheng didn't explain much to her, he just nodded and led his men downstairs to look for the person.
Seeing that the group of people walked in an incredibly synchronized manner, as if they were robots, He Fen became even more curious about who these people were.
"Old Wang, who do you think they are?" He Fen asked murmured, staring at their retreating figures.
Wang Yue said, "How should I know? Mind your own business."
He Fen clicked her tongue and said irritably, "What do you know? Didn't you hear what they were saying? They were calling Old Man Qin 'Grandpa' and saying they wanted to take him back to the capital. Does this Old Man Qin have some kind of extraordinary identity?"
Wang Yue sighed, "What does that have to do with us?"
"How can it not be related? Isn't Qiao Xing your niece?" He Fen's emotions surged as she spoke, and she immediately left Wang Yue behind and ran downstairs as fast as she could.
She had to find out what this group of people were here for.
The old man was still talking in the park pavilion in the community. Qin Yi knew that he was about to return to Kyoto, so he was a little reluctant to part with him.
Yes, Qin Yi has no intention of going back.
He hated that place. The old man had just told him that Qin Ce would help with the company's affairs, so Qin Yi completely gave up and started to lie low.
Of course, he didn't dare tell the old man this. He only said that he wanted to stay with his older brother for a while longer, and he would go back whenever his older brother went back.
The old man didn't insist. He wanted to say a few more words of advice when he saw a group of people coming over out of the corner of his eye.
The old man sighed, "Then you'll have to go."
Noticing the old man's gaze, Qin Yi turned around and saw the familiar Old Zheng, and his expression changed slightly.
The fear of being caught and taken back by Lao Zheng countless times resurfaced in his mind. He stood up and said, "Grandpa, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm leaving now. Call me when you get to Kyoto!"
After saying that, Qin Yi took off running.
Old Zheng also saw him and ordered two people to chase after Qin Yi.
