Chapter 220: Peek
It was 11 o'clock in the evening when they returned to Shenzhen. They took a taxi home and found that the children were not at home. They ate some noodles, took a shower, and fell asleep on the bed.
After watching the late-night movie and walking on the road for more than an hour, it was already past twelve o'clock. If he didn't go home now, it would be too late. Long Xiaobin sent Qin Wenxin to the door of her house, watched her go in, and then reluctantly went home.
Wen Xin was in a good mood, humming a song softly and preparing to take a shower and go to bed.
When I went to the bathroom, I found the closet was full of clothes. I picked up one and took a look, and found it was Deng Xiuzhen's.
Qin Wenxin hurried out and saw the bag on the coffee table in the living room. Her heart started beating fast: That was Deng Xiuzhen's bag.
One time, she accidentally saw Deng Xiuzhen taking out some important documents from her bag, such as property deeds, company documents, and money.
Deng Xiuzhen usually kept her bag well hidden. Qin Wenxin guessed that Deng Xiuzhen must have been too tired and thought no one was home, so she put her bag on the coffee table.
Qin Wenxin tiptoed to the door of Deng Xiuzhen's room and listened for a while. The even breathing inside proved that Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin were sleeping soundly.
She tiptoed back to the coffee table and slowly unzipped her bag.
On top were a few pieces of clothing, and underneath the clothes was a house purchase and sale contract.
Qin Wenxin read it from beginning to end, and her heart was even more excited: Mom and Dad really have a courtyard house! No, to be precise, it was Mom Deng Xiuzhen who had a courtyard house.
This time when they went to Kyoto, they sold the courtyard house for 3.1 million.
My excited heart caused my hands to tremble.
Qin Wenxin eagerly searched for the passbook. She wanted to know how much money was left in the passbook and how much she would get.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of someone getting up. She was so frightened that her body froze. She instinctively wanted to run into the room, but found that if she entered the room, she would definitely be seen.
In a split second, she made a decision: turn off the light and go out the door closest to her. She would wait until her father or mother finished using the bathroom before going in.
Deng Xiuzhen opened the door and went straight to the bathroom. Maybe the food on the train was not fresh, so she had diarrhea.
When Deng Xiuzhen came out of the bathroom, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow in the living room. Just when she was about to scream, the lights came on.
It turned out that Tan Yanlin had a stomachache and got up to go to the bathroom.
"You scared me to death!" Deng Xiuzhen scolded and was about to go back to her room to sleep when she caught sight of the bag on the coffee table out of the corner of her eye.
She zipped up her bag and carried it back to her room.
Not long after, Tan Yanlin also went back to sleep.
Qin Wenxin eavesdropped for a while, waited for a few minutes, and then quietly entered the house.
She felt a little disappointed when she found that the bag on the coffee table was missing. She didn't find the passbook and didn't know the family's financial situation.
After this incident, she didn't dare to take a shower. She didn't even take off her clothes. She planned to just lie there and go out before Deng Xiuzhen and the others got up tomorrow morning.
If it wasn't too late and unsafe outside, she would have wanted to wait outside until dawn and then pretend to have just returned home.
She had her bag zipped open, but because of the suddenness of the incident, she didn't have time to zip it up.
Deng Xiuzhen kept a close eye on the bag and always remembered to zip it up.
If she wakes up tomorrow morning and realizes that the zipper of her bag is open and sees me at home, she will definitely suspect that I have touched the bag.
If she came home from outside, they would just think that they had forgotten and would not suspect her.
When it was light in the morning and the breakfast vendors opened their doors, Qin Wenxin sneaked out.
After walking around outside and having breakfast, Qin Wenxin thought that Deng Xiuzhen and the others should be up by now, so she headed home.
Just as Qin Wenxin expected, when Deng Xiuzhen woke up in the morning, she vaguely remembered that her bag was in the living room last night with the zipper still open. She quickly unzipped the bag to check and found that it was a little messy.
She immediately stood up and checked several rooms, even the doors and windows, but she didn't see any children, and it didn't look like anyone else had been there.
She thought that she was too tired these days and forgot to pack her bag.
When Qin Wenxin walked in, Deng Xiuzhen had already washed her clothes and was preparing to go out.
"Mom?" Qin Wenxin ran to Deng Xiuzhen, shouting in surprise like a child.
"Well, why are you back? Isn't it class time today? Are you feeling unwell?" Deng Xiuzhen said as she looked Qin Wenxin up and down.
"Mom, I don't feel unwell anywhere, it's just that our last appointment was for a follow-up check-up today." Qin Wenxin explained with a sweet smile.
"Is the appointment for today? Why don't I have any recollection of it at all?" Deng Xiuzhen wondered.
"It wasn't an appointment we made before. I accidentally touched it at school a few days ago. I felt a little uncomfortable at the time, so I went to see a doctor. The doctor asked me to go for a follow-up check-up today." Qin Wen explained.
"Where did you get into trouble? Is it serious? Why didn't you call me and tell me?" After all, they were her own children. Deng Xiuzhen felt that as long as they didn't go astray and were a little filial, she would still love them from the bottom of her heart.
But they have to be filial.
"You are in Kyoto accompanying Dad for treatment. How can I trouble you with such a small matter? Right?"
"Do you want us to go with you to have a look?" Deng Xiuzhen asked with concern. The house is important, and the children are also important.
"No, no, don't worry, I can do it myself. You and Dad have something to do, you guys go do it first." Qin Wenxin wanted to follow her parents out to see what they were doing. But she knew that her parents would definitely not agree, so she could only follow quietly.
"Okay, then you go and check it yourself, and go home after you're done. We'll add two dishes for lunch." Deng Xiuzhen was in a hurry to see the house, and of course she didn't want Qin Wenxin to go with her. This kid was too cunning.
"Okay then, Mom and Dad, be careful. There are a lot of cars on the road." Qin Wenxin felt disappointed and blamed Deng Xiuzhen for treating her as an outsider. She felt from the bottom of her heart that Qin Yanlin was too useless and was holding the whole family back.
But he didn't show anything, and still said words of concern.
