The autumn rain in early November lasted for two days, intermittently and seemingly without end.
It feels like God has a boil over.
Su Huaijun stayed home to recover from her injuries, so she didn't go to school.
She pestered Qin Huai to cook for her every day.
She ate without restraint and gained three pounds in just two days. When she weighed herself, she screamed in terror and looked at Qin Huai with a mournful expression, as if Qin Huai had done something heinous to her.
Afterwards, she started yelling that it was all Qin Huai's fault and that she was going to starve herself to lose weight.
As soon as it was mealtime, he would sneak out of the kitchen door like a mouse, peeking out with a strong sense of thievery, and ask Qin Huai what delicious food he was making.
Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh that all women were big pigs.
And then there's Shen Yu, who never contacted Qin Huai again after becoming Chertz's student.
Not only that, but the promise to treat them to dinner never came to fruition.
Lu Qingxue became increasingly busy, often leaving home before dawn and returning after dark.
Qin Huai called her several times, but no one answered the phone.
If Qin Huai hadn't learned from Zhui Feng that Lu Qingxue was safe and sound, he would have even suspected that she had been killed by the assassin who had taken the job.
Qin Huai felt that this couldn't go on, so he fully demonstrated his virtues as a good husband and father, and painstakingly prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for Lu Qingxue.
Lu Qingxue accepted everything offered and ate heartily, but after finishing the meal, she didn't even say thank you, let alone offer herself in return.
They took it all for granted.
When Qin Huai accused her, she simply placed a bank card on the table and told Qin Huai to go play by himself and not bother her.
Qin Huai was furious. After putting away the bank card, he cursed Lu Qingxue, saying that all women were indeed big pigs.
Ye Jingya's injury healed quite quickly thanks to the special medicine. Although she is not yet fully recovered, she can walk normally without any problems.
The main thing is to avoid strenuous exercise.
Ah Ling has been discharged from the hospital and returned to Villa No. 18 to be with Ye Jingya.
Ye Jingya found someone to replace Wei Shengnan as a nanny.
After all, he's the captain of the criminal investigation team; how could he really be her family's maid every day? That's unrealistic.
Wei Shengnan was not idle either. With Qin Huai's guidance, she successfully found the person who drowned Jiang Limou and fed him to the fish.
Then Qin Huai learned some news.
The three major underground forces in Chongcheng are: the Broken Blade Society, which is under Ye Jingya's control, and the Zhenshanyue Society, whose mastermind is Xiang Dongchen.
The last pair of swallows, however, were under the command of Chen Huaidong.
Wei Shengnan was fiercely opposed to evil. Although she couldn't find any evidence that Chen Huaidong had instigated or instructed her, it didn't stop her from chatting with Chen Huaidong whenever she had a spare moment.
So Chen Huaidong has been very annoyed these past two days.
On one side is the Lingxue Business Alliance, created by Lu Qingxue and major leading enterprises, which has officially announced its intention to challenge him.
On the other hand, Wei Shengnan is like a toad jumping on your foot—she doesn't bite, but she disgusts you.
And then there's that high-ranking executive from Rongcheng's Meikai Group. They clearly agreed on a collaboration, but then became vague at the last minute, claiming they would talk to Lu Qingxue.
They simply want to raise prices and take advantage of the situation.
A fierce glint flashed in Chen Huaidong's eyes; he desperately wanted to eliminate anyone who was in his way.
But he was superstitious, so he consulted a fortune teller who was paid a high salary by his family. The fortune teller told him to wait, so he could only patiently continue to wait.
Xiang Dongchen was also waiting.
He lost interest in the girl he saw at the performance after two days; his heart was still set on Qin Huai.
Seeing that Qin Huai hadn't called him, he couldn't help but dial the number himself.
"Boss, that lady called, is she going for free? Want to go? Want to go? Want to go?"
At this moment, Qin Huai was being pestered by Su Huaijun, who was asking him to tell the story of how he met Chers.
Qin Huai was getting annoyed by the girl's persistence and was thinking of going all out and gagging her when his phone rang.
He felt like he'd been granted a pardon and immediately answered Xiang Dongchen's call, saying, "Young Master Xiang, is there something important you need me for? What? Your parents are dating, your grandmother dropped out of school, your sister is always busy making money and doesn't come home, and you need to take your grandfather to the pediatrician? You can't drive? No problem, wait, I'm coming right away!"
Xiang Dongchen: "..."
Qin Huai hung up the phone, and instead of going up the stairs, he jumped off the rooftop.
Su Huaijun was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.
I quickly peeked over and saw Qin Huai transformed into a parkour expert, as agile and nimble as a monkey, grabbing onto the balcony, drainpipes, windows and other places, landing easily.
Su Huaijun's heart finally settled down. She thought to herself, "So handsome!" and couldn't help but shout out, "Qin Huai! Was that the same ringtone I used when I called you?"
Qin Huai didn't turn his head and ran very fast. Out of politeness, he raised his hand and made an OK gesture.
Su Huaijun was so angry that she jumped up and down and cursed, saying that she would immediately send someone to buy rat poison to add to Qin Huai's meal that night.
Qin Huai got into the car and called Xiang Dongchen: "Young Master Xiang, the situation was urgent just now. Let's go to Lanting Waterside Pavilion. I'll punish myself by drinking three cups to apologize to you."
Xiang Dongchen wasn't angry; instead, he found it amusing. He simply said "okay," hung up the phone, and told the driver to take him to Lanting Waterside Pavilion.
Qin Huai also rushed to Lanting Waterside Pavilion, but called Ye Jingya in advance.
We arrived at the Orchid Pavilion at 5 p.m.
Looking at the antique buildings, Qin Huai lit a cigarette and sighed.
The first time I came here was for Lu Qingxue and Chen Huaidong's engagement banquet.
He didn't have a membership card; he and the butler, Xiao Yang, climbed over the wall to get in.
This time, there was no membership card either, but people could enter whenever they wanted, and even come and go as they pleased, jumping back and forth repeatedly.
