Chapter 507 Qin Jingxiu Returns to China
[Madam, everything goes well. ]
When Tang Qi saw the message from Xu Xing, he finally felt relieved.
She pressed the flush button on the toilet, broke the phone in her hand into pieces and threw it in. Only after she saw all the pieces being flushed into the sewer did she open the door and leave.
…
Qin Jingxiu was a mid-level military officer and it was not convenient for him to stay abroad for too long. After simply connecting Tang Qi's disappearance case with the police in Country M, he returned to China.
As soon as the plane landed, he received a call from Qin Dahai.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you were returning? I could have sent a car to pick you and Qiqi up."
Hearing the old man call his daughter Qiqi, Qin Jingxiu's indifferent face showed a touch of tenderness, "Qiqi didn't come back with me."
Qin Dahai got angry when he heard this, "Then why did you come back?!"
Qin Jingxiu: “…”
The Qin family lives on Longyuan Mountain in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital. This entire mountain has been designated by the government as a separate place for retired senior cadres and leaders to live in.
There are ordinary courtyards at the foot of the mountain, and above the halfway point are villas and manors with independent entrances. The higher you live, the more noble your status.
As Qin Jingxiu's car drove into the path of the Qin family's villa, he saw his father Qin Dahai standing at the gate in the scorching sun from afar, with the old housekeeper Uncle Fu holding an umbrella for him.
When Qin Jingxiu's car approached, Qin Dahai saw that Qin Jingxiu was the only one in the car. A look of deep disappointment appeared on his face, and he looked at Qin Jingxiu with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
"Why don't you bring Qiqi back?"
The old man was not in good health to begin with and the weather was hot, so Qin Jingxiu did not dare to make him angry. He quickly got out of the car, opened the door, and let the old man get in to enjoy the cool air.
"I'll tell you in detail when I get home."
Seeing the old man's face full of dissatisfaction and anger, he added: "Qiqi asked me to say hello to you on her behalf."
After hearing this, Qin Dahai's anger turned into joy, and a hint of excitement flushed on his old face, "Did she really say that? Okay, okay, let's go back and talk in the study."
This time, Qin Dahai got into the car by himself without Qin Jingxiu urging him, and urged Qin Jingxiu to drive.
After the father and son entered the living room and were about to walk towards the study, they were stopped by Mrs. Qin who hurried down from the second floor.
"Jingxiu, have you seen Jingshu? Is she okay?"
Facing Mrs. Qin, whose eyes were filled with worry and whose expression was haggard, Qin Jingxiu's heart sank.
"Sister-in-law, come along too. I just need to talk to you and father about Jingshu."
Hearing the seriousness and solemnity in Qin Jingxiu's tone, Mrs. Qin felt extremely uneasy. She grabbed Qin Jingxiu's arm and asked anxiously, "Did Jingshu have any problem?"
Seeing that Madam Qin's face was pale and she was about to collapse, Qin Jingxiu quickly said, "No, she is safe."
After entering the study, Mrs. Qin still looked very bad, with her lips and face looking sickly pale. Qin Jingxiu sighed imperceptibly, turned around and asked the old housekeeper to make her a cup of ginseng tea.
Qin Dahai has recently focused all his attention on his granddaughter Tang Qi and neglected Qin Jingshu who is also abroad. Seeing his daughter-in-law looking absent-minded, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
He asked his youngest son with the intention of making amends, "Have you seen Jingshu? How is she doing?"
"She is in the convent."
This simple sentence surprised everyone in the study.
Even Uncle Fu, who was holding a cup of hot ginseng tea, looked at Qin Jingxiu in surprise.
Qin Jingxiu signaled Uncle Fu with his eyes to serve the ginseng tea to Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin looked really bad, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the blow after knowing what Qin Jingshu had done.
"Have some tea first. I'll talk about Jingshu later."
Mrs. Qin was so anxious that she had no mood to drink tea. She didn't even look at the ginseng tea placed in front of her.
"Jingxiu, Jingshu..."
"Sister-in-law, you don't look well. I asked Uncle Fu to make ginseng tea specially for you."
Mrs. Qin was startled, glanced at the tea in front of her, and forced a smile, "Thank you, I'm fine, I haven't been sleeping well recently."
"Drink it. Jingshu is not at home, I am not feeling well, and Jingli has returned to the army. If you fall ill, there will be no one to take care of you."
After Qin Dahai spoke, Mrs. Qin, no matter how unhappy she was, could only pick up the teacup and drink in small sips.
After drinking a cup of hot ginseng tea, Mrs. Qin's complexion improved a lot and her mood gradually calmed down.
"Sister-in-law, there is actually something I have never told you. I am going abroad half for official business and half to find my biological daughter."
Qin Jingxiu's words shocked Mrs. Qin so much that she almost dropped the tea bowl in her hand.
She looked at Qin Jingxiu in shock, then looked at her father-in-law Qin Dahai, and found that there was obvious joy on his face and in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had known it for a long time.
Mrs. Qin felt a strange uneasiness in her heart, which even she herself could not understand.
It was a happy event for the Qin family that her younger brother-in-law suddenly had a biological daughter. It had no impact on her. Logically, she should have been happy, but she couldn't smile at all.

"Why, so sudden? Um, Jing Xiu, congratulations."
She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said dryly.
Qin Jingxiu didn't care about Mrs. Qin's reluctance. He knew that Mrs. Qin was only concerned about her daughter Qin Jingshu.
"Qiqi asked me to say hello to my brother and sister-in-law on her behalf. She is studying abroad now. I will bring her back to see you when she comes back."
These words made Qin Dahai unhappy, and he was very angry with Qin Jingxiu.
How could he have such a useless son who couldn’t even bring his own daughter back!
Mrs. Qin slowly came back to her senses, thinking of her brother-in-law's hidden illness, and asked curiously: "What is going on? How old is Jingxiu's daughter now? Who is her mother?"
Qin Jingxiu briefly recounted his past with Mrs. Chen.
After hearing this, the little bit of color on Mrs. Qin's face, which had been restored after drinking the ginseng tea, disappeared completely in an instant.
She stared at Qin Jingxiu with her eyes wide open. "Tang Qi is, is she the daughter of you and Tang Shan?"
Qin Jingxiu was mentally prepared for Mrs. Qin's strange behavior.
In fact, after he learned about what Qin Jingshu had done, he even suspected whether Mrs. Qin had intervened.
But he rejected the thought as soon as it flashed through his mind.
He knew how much Madam Qin cared about Qin Jingshu. If Madam Qin really wanted to plot against his Qiqi, she would never let Qin Jingshu do it.
Just like he would rather take risks himself than let Qiqi take risks herself.
"When I was injured, I lost part of my memory, which happened to be about me and Madam Chen. So, before I recovered my memory, I couldn't tell you the details.
However, there is no doubt that Qiqi is my biological daughter."
Qin Dahai didn't want to listen to his son's nonsense, he just wanted to know when he could see his granddaughter.
If it weren't for his special status that prevented him from traveling abroad, he would have been on the plane by now.
"When will Qiqi be back?"
Looking at Qin Dahai's anxious expression, Mrs. Qin felt very uncomfortable.
Her Jingshu had been abroad for more than a month, and the old man hadn't said a word of concern to her.
