Chapter 52 is most likely a scam.
But if she didn't like him, how could she possibly be with Wang Ye given the gap between them?
Lily is a college student, that goes without saying. There are also differences between Lily and Wang Ye in their views on consumption, values, and personalities.
It's hard to imagine how these two people could have gotten together.
"Cousin, why don't you talk to Lily again? Actually, when two people are living together, happiness is all that matters. There's no need to be attached to material things."
Wang Ye laughed irritably, "Do you think I haven't discussed it with her? I tried everything to reason with her this morning, but she wouldn't listen. I'm completely at a loss now."
Wang Ye's voice was filled with helplessness and bitterness. The more he got to this point, the more he hated himself for being so useless.
He felt that his mother was right; he was a good-for-nothing. If he were, they wouldn't be arguing over this.
"Where does she live? I'll go find her and have a chat."
Wang Ye was taken aback. He glanced at Qiao Xing and said, "You're going to talk to her? She doesn't listen to anything I say. Do you think your efforts will work?"
"Give it a try. There's no other way now. You can't really disown your parents, can you?"
Wang Ye remained silent for a while, not saying anything. To be honest, he would rather stay in the detention center now. He had only been back for two days, and he was already feeling suffocated by the pressure.
"Okay, I'll send you her address, but you don't need to say anything unnecessary. If she's adamant, just come back, understand?"
Qiao Xing nodded, "Don't worry, I'm just chatting casually."
She actually wanted to see Lily's attitude towards Wang Ye, whether she really liked Wang Ye, or whether she was with Wang Ye for other reasons.
Logically speaking, since Lily's mother is a university professor, Lily went straight to Wang Ye's place after returning home and didn't go home.
Would her mother allow her daughter to do this?
The more Qiao Xing thought about it, the stranger it seemed.
After Wang Ye sent her the address, she took a taxi straight to Lily's neighborhood. On the way, she sent Qin Ce a message explaining the situation.
Qin Ce frowned when he saw her message.
The old man noticed his expression was off and asked, "What's wrong?"
"She went to see Lily."
The old man was also taken aback. "Shouldn't she have gone back to explain things to her uncle and aunt? Why did she go to see that Lily?"
"Who knows?" Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth. It wasn't hard to guess that the woman had softened her heart.
It seems to be something that was expected.
This idea surprised Qin Ce. Why did he think that this was expected?
He didn't seem to know much about Qiao Xing either.
The old man, observing his ever-changing expression, couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong? Worried about Xingxing?"
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then composed himself. "How could that be? I'll go check."
"Okay, hurry up and go. Don't let her suffer outside."
After Qin Ce told him about this, the old man was so angry he almost had a heart attack. What kind of relative is this? Bullying people like this!
Without even discussing it, the old man immediately decided to move to the city, without even needing to buy a house.
He owns two large apartments in the city center, and Qin Ce also bought a villa when he returned. However, these houses are too expensive, and if they were to move there, Qiao Xing would become suspicious.
So when the time comes, I'll have to accompany my blockhead grandson to look at houses.
Qin Ce nodded, stood up and walked out, making a phone call to Qiao Xing as he went.
The call connected quickly, and he asked first, "Where are you now?"
"I'm in a taxi, we'll be there in a bit. What's up? How did things go with your discussion with Grandpa?"
"It went smoothly. Send me the address, and I'll go with you."
Qin Ce didn't give her a chance to refuse. Qiao Xing stared blankly at the phone after it was hung up for a while before copying the address Wang Ye sent.
She looked at the road ahead, feeling a little uneasy. It wasn't that she was afraid of how to tell Lily, but rather that she was afraid Wang Ye's love would be in vain.
While in the car, she thought about many things, and the more she thought about the details, the more something seemed off.
While Qiao Xing was lost in thought, the taxi had already arrived outside the residential area.
This place isn't far away; it's close to the city center, only about forty minutes away.
Qiao Xing looked up at the residential area. The houses seemed to be newly built, with many still unfinished, and there weren't many residents to be seen.
She took the address and found room 2018 on the 20th floor of building three.
Qiao Xing took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
But no one answered. She knocked for a few more minutes until her neighbor across the street came out. "Who are you looking for?"
Qiao Xing quickly said, "Excuse me, I'm looking for my friend. Do you know where she is?"
"I don't know. The landlord of this house is out of town. Are you looking for the tenants here or the landlord?"
Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She smiled and said, "A tenant, right? When did she rent the house?"
The neighbor said, "They rented it last month, but they've never lived here. Only these two apartments in this building have been sold. The landlord even told me to keep an eye on it, saying that the tenant only paid a deposit, looked at the apartment, and then never came back."
Qiao Xing frowned. "Really?"
"Hey, what's wrong with that? Who are you to them? The landlord was just calling me a few days ago; she changed the password."
"Who are the people renting the house?"
The neighbor suddenly became suspicious. He looked Qiao Xing up and down and asked, puzzled, "Aren't they your friends? Don't you know who rented the house?"
Seeing this, Qiao Xing quickly made up a lie, "It's just a friend from work. She owes me money, and I haven't been able to find her for the past few days, so I came here."
The neighbor lowered her guard a little after hearing what she said. "Oh, I guess your friend is probably a liar. The landlord told me that they paid the deposit and gave them the password last time. They opened the keypad lock several times, but they just didn't pay the rent. I guess they've disappeared somewhere by now."
Qiao Xing forced a smile and said awkwardly, "Is that so?"
"Yes, I think you should call the police. How much money did you lend them?"
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "It's not much. Since we can't find them, let's just forget about it. Thank you, brother."
Qiao Xing didn't linger there. She took the elevator and left. After getting downstairs, she called Wang Ye.
"Cousin, is the address you gave me correct?"
"It's correct, so what?"
Qiao Xing checked several times to make sure she hadn't gone to the wrong house before saying, "I'll talk to you when I get back later."
She didn't know how to tell Wang Ye that Lily was probably a liar.
If her mother really is a university professor, how could she go to bars every day, and how could her house be so messy?
In that case, it's very likely that her identity as a college student is fake.
Qiao Xing stood at the entrance of the residential area for a while, and soon a taxi stopped in front of her, and Qin Ce got out of the car.
