Chapter 55 Qin Laoliu Likes Xia Yue
Song Qing deliberately emphasized the phrase "our Qin family," as if she were a member of the Qin family.
Xia Yue assumed this person was the Qin family's daughter, so she said directly, "I want to talk to someone in charge here."
“The elders aren’t home today, and the older brothers from the Qin family aren’t available for the time being either. Why don’t we talk to Brother Qin Fei directly? It’ll be about the same,” Song Qing said, glancing at Qin Fei.
Qin Fei was already lusting after Xia Yue, and upon hearing Song Qing's words, he immediately seized the opportunity and said to Xia Yue, "Yes! Talking to me is the same!"
Xia Yue looked at Qin Fei with a mixture of belief and doubt.
After thinking for a moment, he started to lie, "It's about what I was talking about at the door just now. My engagement with the Qin family has been dissolved."
However, the Qin family has not yet returned some engagement gifts that the Xia family gave to them. I am here today to ask for those things back.
"By the way, I'm also returning the betrothal gifts the Qin family gave to the Xia family. We're even now."
Now that Xia Yue has taken control of the Xia Group, she can still afford to pay back the 200 million yuan dowry.
Qin Fei was a junior, and he had never even heard of things like betrothal gifts or engagement gifts.
Qin Fei immediately sought help from Song Qing.
A hint of disdain flashed across Song Qing's eyes.
As expected of a small, insignificant family, they even had the audacity to ask for the gifts they gave away back.
However, this is for the best, as it completely cuts off this person's chance to join the Qin family.
So Song Qing smiled and said, "The housekeeper should have handled these matters. How about I go and talk to the housekeeper?"
Brother Qin Fei, please continue to entertain Miss Xia. Don't forget to prepare some snacks and tea for her.
Bring out the most expensive and best items to treat them well.
Song Qing acted like a mistress of the house, but her tone was somewhat sarcastic.
Xia Yue felt that this person was very hostile towards her, but she tried her best to ignore it.
Anyway, she's just here to get the elixir; as long as she can retrieve it successfully, the process doesn't matter.
Qin Fei, on the other hand, was straightforward and didn't understand Song Qing's intricate schemes at all.
Moreover, he also wanted to make a good impression on the beautiful woman and try to win her over directly.
Since Xia Yue and her older brother are no longer engaged, becoming his woman is not out of the question.
"Miss Xia, come and try this durian mille-feuille, it's especially delicious!" Qin Fei flattered obsequiously.
Xia Yue doesn't like durian and politely declined.
Qin Fei then served another cup of expensive black tea.
Xia Yue disliked bitter foods and refused again.
Qin Fei was immediately disappointed.
Does the woman's repeated rejection of his dignity mean she looks down on him?
That's right, she almost married his older brother, so of course she wouldn't be interested in him, this ordinary sixth young master.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Qin Fei's eyes.
He vowed in his heart that he would make this woman regret it!
On the other side.
Song Qing contacted "A Dong," the warehouse manager of the Qin family, to inquire about the "engagement gift" that the Xia family had once given.
A Dong checked the records and quickly found a clue, replying, "Some things were indeed sent, they seem to be some rather precious medicinal herbs, which the old patriarch put in a special treasure vault. Only the old patriarch and the eldest young master are qualified to open the treasure vault."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Adong," Song Qing said with a smile.
Ah Dong's cheeks flushed slightly, and he lowered his head to reply softly, "Miss Song, you don't need to be so polite. It's all what I should do."
"Okay, then I'll go ask Brother Ting again," Song Qing said.
Ah Dong advised, "Miss Song, I think it's best if you don't bother the young master with such a small matter."
You should know his temperament; he hates wasting time on unimportant things.
“But… Miss Xia came in person to ask for these things back. It doesn’t seem right if we don’t return them…” Song Qing asked deliberately.
A Dong snorted coldly, "The Xia family is nothing to worry about. Since it has been given to the Qin family, it belongs to the Qin family."
"That's true..."
"Furthermore, Miss Song, you have been in the Qin family for so many years, and I feel that no one but you is suitable to be the mistress of the Qin family."
You could simply act like the lady of the house and kick out anyone who's deliberately making excuses to try and get close to the young master again.
Ah Dong made the suggestion again.
He is the youngest son of the old Qin family patriarch's personal steward. He has some affection for Song Qing, but knows that his status is not good enough for her, so he has been secretly helping her.
He would offer advice on everything Song Qing "didn't know" how to do.
Song Qing smiled as she listened to A Dong's suggestion.
She was an adopted daughter of the Qin family, and her father was unknown from a young age; she took her mother's surname.
When he was sixteen, his mother died unexpectedly while saving Qin Yeting's mother.
From then on, she was raised in the Qin family and enjoyed the treatment of a young lady from a wealthy family.
But she felt that all of this was far from enough. She wanted to continue enjoying a life of luxury and honor, to stay in the Qin family forever, and even to become the mistress of the Qin family.
The only way out is to marry Qin Yeting.
But the Qin family never considered her.
Even though Qin Yeting had a reputation for being a jinx to his wives, and even prominent families avoided him, she took the initiative to propose to the Qin family patriarch that she was willing to marry her brother, Ting.
However, they were dismissed with the excuse that their horoscopes were incompatible.
Song Qing remained unconvinced.
She despised every woman who had a chance to get Qin Yeting.
Xia Yue is the only woman who became Brother Ting's fiancée, survived, and successfully broke off the engagement.
Song Qing felt a deep-seated loathing for Xia Yue.
Ah Dong's suggestion was exactly what she wanted.
"Ah Dong, I know what to do. I'll be going now." Song Qing revealed a charming smile.
Ah Dong was overjoyed and nodded enthusiastically.
The moment Song Qing turned around, her expression instantly turned to disgust.
A servant dared to covet her; if it weren't for the fact that he still had some use to her, she would have gotten rid of him long ago.
Now let's talk about Xia Yue.
She waited a long time, enduring Qin Fei's harassment, and felt terrible.
Just when she could no longer bear it and was about to break ties with Qin Fei.
Song Qing is back.
Song Qing first made some insincere polite remarks, and then said indirectly, "Miss Xia, I'm sorry, the things that the Xia family sent before can't be found in the warehouse."
Miss Xia should know that the Qin family is a large family with many people coming and going, exchanging gifts and favors, so many that the warehouse can't hold them all.
If those things are very important, I'm willing to compensate you out of my own pocket. What do you say?
Xia Yue had been busy for half a day, only to receive this reply, and she was about to explode!
She stood up abruptly and said firmly, "It's impossible for the items to be missing. Those medicinal herbs are very important to me. Please search for them again."
Song Qing already disliked Xia Yue, and when she heard Xia Yue insist on having more, she immediately turned sour.
Children raised in humble circumstances are indeed ill-mannered.
Song Qing said coldly, "If it's gone, it's gone. Doesn't Miss Xia understand?"
Or are you just using this as an excuse to deliberately get close to the Qin family and attract the attention of the eldest son of the Qin family?
