"In this state, you want me to go to the Qin family again?" Shen Shuwen’s anger ignited once more. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Shao Yongkang, do you have any conscience?"
Shao Yongkang wore an expression of helplessness.
"What else can we do? If we wait until tomorrow to go to the Qin family, can we afford Qin Lvzheng’s lawyer fees? Or do you want to go to the Qin family tomorrow morning and end up fainting from the sun again?"
Surprisingly, Shen Shuwen was somewhat swayed by his words.
He was right. If they went in the evening, at least there would be no sun to worry about being exposed to.
Shao Yongkang spoke with earnestness, "Shuwen, resolving this matter sooner rather than later only brings benefits, not drawbacks!"
"Well."
Despite her reluctance, Shen Shuwen pondered for a while and finally nodded.
"All right then, I’ll go to the Qin family again tonight."
It was just another visit, right? It couldn’t result in anything worse than fainting and ending up in the hospital in the afternoon.
**
After 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the shopping trip for Ann finally came to an end.
In just a few hours, Lan Jin had practically bought half of the children’s clothing, shoes, and accessories in the mall.
Some had already been sent back to the Bay Villa by the bodyguards, while others, which were custom-made, would take two to three days to be delivered.
The dark green Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance of the mall.
Qin Huo personally came to pick them up and sat in the car, doting on his granddaughter.
"Ann, are you tired from shopping?"
"Yes, a little bit tired."
Qin Sui’an raised her little hand and gently rubbed her eyes.
Qin Lvzheng placed her in the child seat, carefully fastening her seatbelt and providing her with a pillow so she could sleep comfortably leaning against it.
Qin Sui’an hugged the pillow, and her little head rested perfectly on it.
"Go to sleep, Ann." Lan Jin sat in the car and caressed her granddaughter’s head.
"Yes..."
Qin Sui’an closed her round eyes, and before the car’s engine even started, she fell asleep.
Qin Huo lowered his voice and teased, "It seems like you’ve bought quite a lot, making Ann tired."
"Not that much."
The afternoon’s "achievements" were insignificant to Lan Jin.
If it weren’t for her granddaughter being unable to endure any longer, she would have wanted to buy more.
The Rolls-Royce started, maintaining a steady speed as it headed towards the Bay Villa.
Forty minutes later, the Rolls-Royce entered the Bay Villa.
The villa was not far ahead, and Lan Jin turned her head to glance at her sleeping granddaughter.
Half of Qin Sui’an’s little face sank into the soft pillow, and her long, thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow beneath her eyes.
Her small mouth was slightly open, breathing peacefully, sleeping extremely comfortably.
Lan Jin couldn’t help but raise the corners of her lips, lowered her voice, and instructed the driver, "Keep driving around."
"Understood, Madam."
The driver nodded understandingly.
After reaching the villa’s entrance, he turned and drove along another road, continuing to explore the Bay Villa.
Ann slept in the car, with her grandparents and Eldest Brother quietly accompanying her, reluctant to get out.
Night fell.
Qin Haochen finished his work and hurried back to the Bay Villa.
When the Bentley arrived at the entrance of the Bay Villa, Qin Haochen caught sight of a slightly familiar black car parked at the gate.
As he moved forward, he saw Shen Shuwen standing by the side of the gate.
Qin Haochen furrowed his brows.
"Didn’t she leave in the afternoon?" He immediately received a report from He Yan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.
"Mr. Shao, Mrs. Shao came again ten minutes ago, insisting on seeing Miss An’an today and apologizing to her."
A cold, emotionless smile appeared on Qin Haochen’s lips.
Seeing this, the driver didn’t brake and drove directly into the Bay Villa, stopping the car at the main entrance.
Before He Yan could come and open the car door, Qin Haochen pushed it open himself.
After seeing that there was no one he wanted to see at the villa’s entrance, his heart seemed to suddenly empty.
Qin Haochen scanned the surroundings and noticed the dark green Rolls-Royce driving around inside the Bay Villa.
He asked the guards at the villa’s entrance, "Is Ann in that car?"
"Yes, Sir."
The guard respectfully replied, "Miss An’an is sleeping in the car and hasn’t woken up yet."
Qin Haochen nodded in understanding.
Glancing at the time, he turned and walked into the villa.
A few minutes later, Qin Haochen returned to the villa’s entrance, holding a baby bottle in his hand.
Not long after, the Rolls-Royce approached the villa’s entrance and finally came to a stop.
Qin Haochen quickly walked up and opened the rear car door.
Qin Sui’an had just woken up and sat dazedly in the child seat.
Hearing the sound of the car door opening, she turned her little head, blinked her round eyes, and after a few seconds of reaction, pursed her small mouth, revealing an adorable smile.
In a soft and tender voice, she called out, "Daddy!"
"Ann."
Qin Haochen’s heart instantly melted like water as he unfastened the safety belt on Ann and embraced her in his arms.
He slightly lowered his head and kissed her little face.
"Are you hungry?"
"Hungry!" Qin Sui’an’s little tummy was growling with hunger.
As soon as she saw the milk bottle in her daddy’s hand, her round eyes lit up.
Qin Haochen couldn’t help but smile as he noticed her eagerly staring at the milk bottle in his hand.
He handed it to her and said, "Here, have a drink first."
"Thank you, Daddy!"
Qin Sui’an extended her little hands and held the bottle, eagerly opening her mouth wide to suck on the nipple, happily squinting her round eyes.
Lan Jin, Qin Huo, and Qin Lvzheng descended from the car.
Seeing Ann happily drinking her milk, they seemed to be infected by her simple and pure joy.
Their lips couldn’t help but curl upwards.
The bodyguard approached and quietly reported that Shen Shuwen was still waiting at the entrance of Bay Villa.
Lan Jin heard this, turned to look at the bodyguard, and with a smile still lingering on her face, calmly said, "It’s getting late, we won’t receive any guests today."
"Understood, Madam."
The bodyguard immediately understood Lan Jin’s meaning, pressed the Bluetooth earpiece, and relayed her words to the guard stationed at the entrance.
Entrance of Bay Villa.
After hearing the bodyguard’s words, Shen Shuwen couldn’t suppress her anger any longer.
She angrily cursed, "I’ve been waiting since morning, can’t I even see her for a moment? How can a little child be busier than me?"
The bodyguard glanced at her coldly.
"Mrs. Shao, mind your words."
"Hmph."
Shen Shuwen let out a disdainful snort.
Just a dog guarding the Qin family, acting so high and mighty!
She glanced at the surrounding surveillance cameras, not wanting to give the Qin family any more leverage.
Suppressing her anger, she asked, "When can I see Miss An’an?"
The bodyguard remained expressionless, polite yet indifferent.
"Mrs. Shao, I don’t know."
Shen Shuwen glared at the bodyguard, her eyes almost spewing fire.
This damn bodyguard, he knows nothing when asked three times!
He only knows how to answer her questions with "I don’t know"!
Shen Shuwen had no choice.
With a resentful look, she glanced at the closed door ahead, stomped her high heels, and angrily got into her black sedan, leaving Bay Villa.
Back home, Shao Yongkang had just sat down in the living room when he heard his wife Shen Shuwen return, grumbling and complaining.
Seeing her furious appearance, Shao Yongkang furrowed his brows and asked, "What’s wrong? Did you provoke the Qin family again?"
Shen Shuwen forcefully threw her expensive designer handbag onto the sofa and glared at him in anger.
"Provoke the Qin family? I haven’t even met any of them! What can I do to provoke them?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yongkang furrowed his brows even tighter.
"You still haven’t met them?"
He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, that his wife was truly incapable of accomplishing anything, always causing trouble.
"What’s with that look? If I haven’t met them, can you blame me?" Shen Shuwen shouted loudly.
"The Qin family thinks they’re so superior, not even giving me a proper look. They deliberately use these dirty tactics to disgust me! It’s unbearable!"
"Enough, lower your voice."
Shao Yongkang felt like his ears were going deaf from her furious yelling.
He said, "Xinxin is practicing the piano in the music room. Don’t disturb her."
Upon hearing his words, Shen Shuwen calmed down slightly.
Glancing in the direction of the music room, she thought of her well-behaved, intelligent, and clever daughter.
Shen Shuwen’s anger diminished a bit.
Although their Shao family couldn’t compare to the Qin family, their daughter was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than that wild young lady from the Qin family!
