Is there news in Chapter 608?
However, Mr. Feng's ideas were completely different from his wife's.
He was well aware that the consequences of this matter were exactly as his wife had imagined. However, even knowing this, he still had a way to suppress Feng Jiao's bullying and shift the blame onto Qiao Xing and Lin Xi.
He said to his wife, "I know what to do about this, so you don't need to get involved. Anyway, no matter what, since they dared to hurt Jiaojiao, I will definitely not let them off easily!"
After Mr. Feng finished speaking, he got up and left, leaving his wife sitting helplessly on the ground.
She wasn't unaware of Mr. Feng's motives. On the surface, he seemed to be seeking justice for his daughter, but in the end, he was mostly thinking about himself.
Extremely selfish.
There hadn't been any news from the police station, so Qiao Xing wasn't worried.
She actually hoped this matter would drag on as long as possible; if it came to a conclusion too quickly, something fishy might happen.
Big Bad Wolf Company has taken on several more projects, and Shen Boyan has been busy with them lately. Although he hasn't asked Qiao Xing to come to the company, there are still a few steps that Qiao Xing needs to handle.
She was using her computer in her room, while Lin Xi was reading a book on the sofa in the living room.
Grandpa Qin has recently been growing some flowers and plants on his balcony, and he trims their leaves and prunes their branches whenever he has free time.
Lin Xi got tired of reading and looked up to see Grandpa Qin beckoning to her, "Come here, girl, come to Grandpa."
Lin Xi put down the book in her hand and slowly walked towards Grandpa Qin.
There are several potted plants on the balcony. Grandpa Qin takes great care of them, and each plant is blooming beautifully.
He picked up a pair of pruning shears that were used to trim branches and handed them to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked at Grandpa Qin blankly.
Grandpa Qin said, "You take it first."
After what happened last time, Lin Xi had developed a certain apprehension towards sharp objects.
She didn't dare take it.
Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "You can trust Grandpa. Grandpa won't do anything to hurt you."
The old man's gentle smile put Lin Xi at ease, and she slowly reached out and took the scissors.
Grandpa Qin nodded in approval. "That's good. You see, this thing, when you hold it in your hand, it's just a thing. Whether you throw it away or use it, it's all up to you."
Lin Xi may not understand the deeper meaning behind Grandpa Qin's words, but she knows that he said them with her in mind.
Lin Xi whispered, "I remember, Grandpa."
"Come on, little girl, help Grandpa cut off these extra branches."
Lin Xi held the scissors, but had no idea where to start.
Grandpa Qin held her wrist and patiently told her what to do, "Look, you can cut off what you don't need here, and this part is too long, so it needs to be cut off too."
A messy pot of green plants was immediately transformed into a neat and tidy one after a few simple steps by Grandpa Qin.
Lin Xi looked at the completely different green plants and felt amazed and satisfied.
It turns out that trying to do something you've never done before isn't that difficult.
Grandpa Qin glanced at Lin Xi's expression, then lowered his head and continued tending to the other green plants. As he trimmed, he said, "Child, do you know why we have to prune these plants, constantly water and fertilize them, and change the soil?"
Lin Xi listened silently to Grandpa Qin's words.
"Nothing in this world is static. When you prune away the excess branches and leaves, you will find that if this pot is already beautiful enough, it will become even more beautiful. When you change the soil, you will find that even if it has taken root, it will still bloom and bear fruit in a more suitable place."
Grandpa Qin put down the scissors in his hand, looked up at Lin Xi, and still had a gentle smile on his face. "So, child, many things will only have a better result if you make changes, even if the process is not ideal. Just like when you change the soil for this potted plant, you certainly don't know if it will survive before you do, but what if it does?"
Every word Grandpa Qin said struck a chord in Lin Xi's heart.
Yes, she shouldn't have trapped herself like this her whole life. When faced with problems, she was always afraid of this and worried about that. She didn't have the courage to speak up or face the consequences of anything.
But in this cruel world, fear solves nothing.
Her life is still a long way off, if she really wants to be that flower that has never been pruned, never been watered or fertilized, and never had its soil changed.
The result is simple: either you become withered branches and fallen leaves, or you try a risky process, endure hardships, and then live freely in the sunlight.
Lin Xi thought that Qiao Xing probably meant the same thing.
When Qiao Xing came out of the bedroom after finishing her work, she saw Lin Xi and Grandpa Qin chatting on the balcony.
She walked over to them and asked, "Grandpa, Xixi, what are you talking about?"
Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "I'm teaching Xixi how to grow flowers. Xingxing, look at these potted plants, how well Grandpa is taking care of them?"
Qiao Xing gave her grandfather a thumbs up, "Grandpa is the best."
As Grandpa Qin gets older, he actually appreciates these encouraging words even more.
So every time Qiao Xing talks to Grandpa Qin, it's like he's coaxing a child.
Grandpa Qin wiped his hands with a towel, sat down in the recliner, and asked Qiao Xing, "How's Xixi's situation?"
Qiao Xing said, "There's no word from the police station yet. I'll call and ask later."
Grandpa Qin said, "Yes, we need to find out the truth about this as soon as possible. If something goes wrong in the meantime, it will not only be put on hold, but it could also cause a lot of trouble."
Just as Qiao Xing was about to say that she knew, her phone suddenly rang.
When she looked at the number, she realized it was a call from the police station.
After she answered the call, just as she was about to ask how the investigation was going, the other person spoke first.
"Ms. Qiao, please come to the police station immediately. There are many people holding banners in front of the police station, saying they want to accuse you of disregarding human life!"
When Qiao Xing heard this news, he was completely confused.
But the other person spoke in a hurry and hung up the phone immediately after speaking, so Qiao Xing didn't have time to ask what happened.
After she hung up the phone, she said to Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa, I need to go out for a bit."
Grandpa Qin asked, "What's wrong? Is there any news from the police?"
Lin Xi also looked at Qiao Xing nervously.
Qiao Xing looked at Lin Xi's expression, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't tell them the truth. "No, it's something else. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After Qiao Xing finished speaking, she went back to her bedroom to change her clothes. As she was changing her shoes at the door, Lin Xi came over, grabbed her hand, and said with concern in her eyes, "Sister, I want to go with you."
