Qu Jingyun returned to the Qi family and the servant was making tea for Qi Mingyuan.
In a good mood, she changed her avoidance attitude of the past few days and enthusiastically took the ginseng tea brewed by the servant, preparing to deliver it to Qi Mingyuan herself.
As soon as I reached the door of the study, I heard Qi Mingyuan's unhappy voice coming from the crack of the door:
"I asked you to call Qi Shengzhi over. It's been a whole day. Where is he?"
Assistant Ding replied somewhat helplessly:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qi. I went to the young master's house and couldn't find him. I also went to the places he usually likes to go, and the people there said that the young master hasn't been there for some time."
Qu Jingyun sneered in her heart. Someone like Qi Shengzhi, who was idle all day long, must have gone off to some dirty place to fool around. Qi Mingyuan still expected him to settle down after getting married, which was nothing but a daydream.
She was complaining in her heart when she suddenly heard Assistant Ding say:
"But Mr. Qi, I've found the person you asked me to develop the photos."
What?!
Qi Mingyuan was actually looking for someone to develop the photos without her knowledge?!
Qu Jingyun was so frightened that she almost knocked over the ginseng tea in her hand. Her hand shook and some hot water spilled out, instantly scalding her well-maintained delicate fingers.
She had thought that Qi Mingyuan hadn't mentioned this matter, and that it was over, but she hadn't expected him to be secretly investigating it and hiding it from her...
Does that mean Qi Mingyuan has begun to doubt her? !
Thinking of this, Qu Jingyun suddenly became as panicked as an ant on a hot pan, and there was no trace of the happy look he had when he just returned home.
The most important thing is that Assistant Ding said he had found someone to develop the photos.
But...how is this possible? !
Du Anping has already...
She was so flustered that she could only endure the pain of her burned fingertips and hide by the door, holding her breath and listening to the conversation coming from inside.
"Today, people from two state-owned photo studios came back saying they couldn't find the corresponding negatives. So I went to Xiaohao Hutong again, and by chance, the private photo studio was open this time."
"I just showed the young master's photo to the boss, and he recognized him. He said that someone would take the young master's photo to him from time to time, and over time he knew the young master by heart."
Qi Mingyuan's voice also came out, his tone was stiff and he was obviously a little angry:
"Oh, it seems like this guy has been targeting Qi Shengzhi for quite some time. Did you find out when that guy started going to him to develop photos?"
"I asked, and the boss said he couldn't remember the exact time, but it was at least three or four years ago."
“Bang!”
The sudden loud noise scared Qu Jingyun so much that she trembled all over. It was obvious that Qi Mingyuan got angry and threw something in the study.
Sure enough, the next second, Qi Mingyuan's angry voice was heard:
"Three or four years?! Find that person right now! I want to see who has the guts to target my son, Qi Mingyuan! What is he trying to do by keeping an eye on him for so long?!"
"Yes, Mr. Qi, I told the owner of the photo studio that next time that man wants to go there to develop photos, he should notify me immediately. When he comes to pick up the photos, I will bring people to catch him."
"no!"
There was another sound of a hand slamming heavily on the desk.
"What's the difference between this and just waiting for someone to come?! What if that person doesn't show up? What if the photo studio owner tips someone off?"
"Go to that photo studio tomorrow morning. No matter what method you use, whether it's money or a knife, you must find out the whereabouts of that person from the owner!"
"You must bring the person to me before tomorrow night, otherwise you will never appear in front of me again!"
"Got it, Mr. Qi!"
Assistant Ding, who had endured Qi Mingyuan's immense wrath, had a large area of his trouser legs wet, with a lot of tea leaves splashed on them. He hurriedly retreated in embarrassment.
Qu Jingyun, who was hiding behind the door, was shocked by Qi Mingyuan's roar. Before she could turn around and leave, she was bumped into by Assistant Ding at the door of the study.
She stammered twice and took two steps back in embarrassment.
Assistant Ding, with a grim expression, didn't say anything. He nodded at her with a complicated look, then walked around her and left.
Qu Jingyun finally came to his senses and hurriedly turned around to leave, but unexpectedly an angry voice came from the study:
"Who's at the door?"
Qu Jingyun, who had just turned around, paused and his face turned pale. He knew that he was a step too slow and was discovered by Qi Mingyuan. Now he could only bite the bullet and push the door in.
When Qi Mingyuan saw that the person outside the door was her, a hint of ambiguous light flashed across his eyes, and he asked in an unexpected tone:
"What are you doing here? How long have you been standing at the door?"
Qu Jingyun tried hard to force a smile on his face, pretending to be calm as he walked over with the tea, saying as he walked:
"I came to bring you some ginseng tea. I just walked to the door when Assistant Ding came out."
She tried hard to clear herself of the suspicion of eavesdropping outside the door and tried to answer his questions with a normal expression.
Qi Mingyuan stared at the ginseng tea in her hand suspiciously, took it and touched the wall of the cup. It was a little colder than usual, and his face suddenly darkened.
Qu Jingyun put down the tea in his hand, not wanting to stay in the study for even a moment longer, and hurriedly turned around to leave:
"You go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you. I'll go back to my room first."
But before he took two steps, Qi Mingyuan called out to him in a deep voice:
"Don't go yet, I have something to ask you."
Qu Jingyun felt her back tighten, and she turned around and stopped with a trembling heart, looking at Qi Mingyuan nervously.
Before this moment, Qi Mingyuan had never looked at her like this. He thought he had seen through Qu Jingyun long ago.
Although Qu Jingyun tried to hide it, he actually knew that Qu Jingyun came from a poor family, had little education, and had almost nothing to show for it except her looks and figure.
She appeared to be dignified and generous, gentle and polite to others, but in fact, he had heard her many times in private scolding the servants with harsh words;
Not to mention the position of deputy director that she was now so proud of, which was originally forced into the art troupe by Qi Mingyuan in order to find her something to do so that she wouldn't be pestered by him all day long.
Fortunately, the nature of the work in this unit is suitable for her flamboyant personality. She has not made any major mistakes over the years and has become more and more comfortable with it. Her temperament has also improved.
In other words, Qi Mingyuan had already known all of Qu Jingyun's shortcomings, but he didn't care.
As long as she takes good care of his two sons, serves him comfortably at home, and does not embarrass him when she takes him out, he does not have so many harsh demands on a woman.
After more than ten years of getting along, Qu Jingyun has always behaved well, so much so that when she occasionally shows signs of jealousy towards Qi Shengzhi, he turns a blind eye and does not bother with her.
Perhaps he had always looked down on Qu Jingyun and kept her as a livestock that could not cause any trouble, so he did not notice that she had grown ambitions and fangs that she should not have!
