Chapter 44 Xu Qin's Plan
Airport SVIP lounge
Meng Yanchen sat on the sofa, frowning as he looked at the chat history between him and Fan Shengmei——
He: [I have to go to Jiangzhou with Shi Yan to check out Dachuan's project. I'll be back in three days.]
Fan Shengmei: [Okay. The final version of the proposal has been sent to your email. If there are no problems, I'll wait for your signature when you come back.]
It was business as usual, no unnecessary words.
He unconsciously glanced at Qin Yu beside him.
Qin Yu was holding his cell phone, a smile on his face, and typing quickly with his fingers.
Meng Yanchen looked away, picked up the coffee and took a sip, but couldn't help asking,
"Have you told your girlfriend about your business trip?"
Qin Yu was stunned and looked up at him.
"Ah? I said it."
Meng Yanchen was silent for a moment, "What did my girlfriend say?"
The boss was so abnormal that Qin Yu was confused.
He suddenly remembered his girlfriend's words last time, "a mentally unbalanced and heartbroken boss." Fearing that Meng Yanchen was still holding a grudge, he quickly turned the phone screen away to prove his innocence. "There is absolutely no Cricket Boss behind this..."
Qin Yu: [Baby, I'm on a business trip to Jiangzhou and will be back in three days.]
Girlfriend: [Honey, be careful and stay safe! Remember to let me know when you get back. I'll be waiting for you to come back. I love you~]
It was followed by a string of love and kiss emojis.
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath and felt his chest become even more stuffy.
He stared at the message, his eyes lingering on the words "waiting for you" for a few seconds.
He lowered his head and glanced at his phone again, chuckled to himself, and comforted himself.
"Fortunately, there are still two words that are the same."
He was about to put his phone back into his pocket when the screen suddenly lit up and a message from Xu Qin popped up.
"Brother, Dad told me you were on a business trip to Jiangzhou. I have two days off this weekend, how about coming over to visit you?"
Meng Yanchen replied expressionlessly,
【inconvenient. 】
He then turned off the phone and threw it into his suit pocket.
In the coffee shop, Xu Qin stared at Meng Yanchen's cold reply on the phone screen, tapping his fingertips lightly on the rim of the cup.
【inconvenient. 】
Three words, not even bothering to give an excuse.
She picked up the coffee and took a sip, the rim of the cup resting on her lips for a moment, her eyes darkening.
"Qinqin! Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhan Xiaorao walked in hurriedly, sat down opposite her, and threw her bag aside.
Xu Qin put away his displeasure and smiled, "It's okay, I just arrived."
She raised her eyes and asked, "Why are you calling me out so urgently? What's the matter?"
Zhan Xiaorao leaned closer mysteriously, "Didn't you ask me last time if I had a reliable private detective?"
She lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want to investigate that Fan Shengmei?"
Xu Qin's fingers paused slightly, and he took a sip of the coffee cup to cover up, avoiding her gaze.
"I'm just worried that she's approaching my brother with bad intentions."
Zhan Xiaorao rolled her eyes. "With our relationship, is there anything you don't want to tell me?"
She leaned closer, her tone firm, "You know, I've always been on your side."
Xu Qin was silent for a moment, and finally put down the cup.
"What's wrong? Do you know something?"
Zhan Xiaorao took out a stack of documents from her bag.
"No need to check, I'll give you a ready one."
Xu Qin was stunned. "Where are you from?"
Zhan Xiaorao blinked and said, "I took it from Xiao Yixiao's study."
She lowered her voice and said, "I guess it's probably because of Meng Yanchen's investigation."
Xu Qin flipped through the information, and the corners of his mouth curled up the more he read.
Fan Shengmei's background is even worse than she imagined——
Money worship, vanity, a vampire-like family, and a gambling-addicted brother...
Zhan Xiaorao looked at her increasingly upward-curving mouth corners, hesitant to speak.
"Qinqin..."
"Um?"
"Tell me the truth,"
Zhan Xiaorao stared at her, "Do you regret it?"
Xu Qin paused as she turned the page. "What are you regretting?"
"I regret choosing Song Yan over Meng Yanchen!"
Zhan Xiaorao slammed the table in frustration, "Why are you playing dumb in front of me? Xiao Yixiao and I can clearly see what Meng Yanchen has in mind for you!"
She lowered her voice, "If you really regret it, it's not too late now. Anyway, you and Song Yan haven't got married yet. Meng Yanchen has liked you for so many years, and you are not blood siblings..."
She smiled meaningfully, "As long as you beckon him, he will definitely agree! To be honest, I really think you and Meng are much better together! Not to mention that you grew up together and know each other very well..."
"Song Yan is good, but how is Meng Yanchen any worse? He's more handsome and richer than Song Yan, and most importantly, he treats you well!"
She counted on her fingers, "For so many years, I asked for the stars but not the moon. With love and money, being with him, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing..."
Xu Qin chuckled, "Song Yan and I are very happy together."
She threw the information aside and said firmly,
"As for my brother... he will always be my brother."
"As long as he's around, he'll always pamper me and won't let me suffer."
Zhan Xiaorao tsk-tsk twice, "You are really greedy."
She rolled her eyes. "Let's see how long you can be so proud. Can Meng Yanchen stay single for his entire life? Can he pamper you for the rest of his life?"
Xu Qin looked out the window, the corners of her lips raised slightly, "I know my brother. He won't just marry someone who can't live in his heart."
Her fingertips rubbed the rim of the coffee cup. "Then let him...never allow anyone else to live in his heart..."
Zhan Xiaorao looked at Xu Qin speechlessly, completely unable to understand her train of thought. She just felt that this matter was too troublesome.
She couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do with this information? Are you going to show it directly to Meng Yanchen?"
Xu Qin chuckled lightly, her tone light and airy.
"I won't."
She took a sip of coffee, her eyes showing a bit of casual shrewdness.
"It makes me look like a scheming person, investigating people behind their backs."
She threw the information aside and leaned back on the sofa. "I'll just pretend I don't know."
She paused and added, "Besides, Xiao Yixiao would definitely tell my brother. He must have known about it a long time ago. My parents have already disciplined us."
She looked out the window, her voice calm as if she was stating a fact.
"My brother is a specimen nailed to the wall, the perfect successor to the Guokun Group. Such an identity will naturally imprison him, making him dare not have any stain."
She tapped the documents on the table with her fingertips and chuckled, "For my brother to be associated with such a woman would be the biggest stain."
She said firmly, "He knows it well and will handle it."
After listening to her analysis, Zhan Xiaorao couldn't help but shook his head repeatedly, looking at her with complicated eyes.
“Qinqin…”
She paused, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.
"Why didn't I know before that you were so scary?"
Xu Qin was in a good mood and stood up and pinched her cheeks.
"Then you still don't like me?"
She picked up her bag and prepared to leave. Zhan Xiaorao quickly asked,
"where did you go?"
Xu Qin turned around and smiled, "Go to Song Yan's unit, there is a commendation meeting today."
She blinked, "I'm going to accept the honor with my hero~"
After saying that, she waved her hand and left, her back as light as a butterfly.
Zhan Xiaorao looked at her leaving back, stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, and muttered,
"You little bitch, you're eating so well, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death..."
Inside the fire station, Xu Qin stood among the crowd, surrounded by constant calls of "sister-in-law".
"Sister-in-law, congratulations!"
"Stationmaster Song won another award this year. My sister-in-law is so lucky!"
"Qinqin is not only beautiful, her fiancé is a hero, and her brother is Mr. Meng from the Guokun Group. She is truly a princess!"
Xu Qin raised the corners of her lips slightly, her eyes falling on Song Yan on the stage.
He was wearing a neat uniform, and his epaulettes sparkled under the light. Xu Qin was once again mesmerized by his sharp jawline.
She was once again convinced that her choice was right.
A respected heroic fiancé and a powerful brother who dotes on her.
The perfect layout of life.
After Song Yan stepped down from the stage, he walked directly in front of her and whispered,
"Let's go get the certificate tomorrow."
Xu Qin immediately nodded in agreement.
Ding-a-ling——!
A shrill alarm suddenly rang out.
Song Yan's expression froze, and he turned to look at the big screen.
"Shilitai Fire Station, emergency dispatch!"
"Location: Dexian Investment Company, fire point confirmed!"
