[Host, host! Don't you think this [Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden - Limited Edition] skin is gorgeous? Doesn't it suit me perfectly?]
Qin Xiao: "..."
Can I take back what I just said?
...
Qin Xiao forcibly suppressed the subtle pang of heartache in his heart, turned around and left the consciousness space, returning to the Qin family's old residence.
Instead of returning to his room first, he went straight to the study.
Inside the study, the father, Qin Xiangjun, was wearing reading glasses and frowning as he worked on a pile of documents on the table.

Qin Xiao briefly recounted what had happened at the Tang family's place, especially the matter of Qin Nanxi colluding with a branch of the Tang family to defraud the family of investments through a fake project.

"Also, could you please prepare the necessary experimental materials and instruments for me as soon as possible, according to this list?"
Qin Xiangjun took the list, his gaze falling on a series of chemical names and precision instrument models that he couldn't understand at all, and his expression became even more strange and complicated.
