Sister Ahua moved away the hand that was holding the phone and looked at Qin Shu with bloodshot eyes.
"Madam, if you feel sorry for the young master, tell him the truth."
She was still respectful as a servant of the Xie family, but lacked a bit of intimacy, and her voice was tearful and pleading.
Qin Shu's face darkened slightly, and she frowned and asked, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
She was willing to indulge Xie Chennan's coquetry and pleading because he was her son.
Sister Ahua also wanted to interfere in her affairs, which made Qin Shu very disgusted.
Sister Hua's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a trembling voice: "When the young master knows the truth, he will go crazy. Please have pity on him and don't hide it."
Qin Shu took a deep breath, her voice as cold as ice: "Although I don't interfere in politics, I know how busy Xie Lanzhi has been recently."
"Especially as the great war with US hackers is coming, our network technicians have been summoned to Beijing from all over the country to prepare for this cyber battle."
"If you ask me to tell Xie Lanzhi the truth at this time, it would be like adding fuel to the fire. Not only will it not solve the problem, it will even cause greater chaos."
Ah Hua's wife regained her senses and stammered, "...I'm sorry, Madam!"
Qin Shu looked at the white hair at her temples and suppressed the anger in her heart.
"This is just the difficulty that China is about to face."
"In a few months, the handover ceremony for the return of Hong Kong will be officially held."
"The matters concerning the imminent return of Magang are already underway and no changes can be tolerated."
The guilt on Ah Hua's face grew deeper and deeper, and she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Young Madam, I'm sorry. I took advantage of my age and took it for granted."
As she spoke, she hunched her back, bent her knees and knelt at Qin Shu's feet.
When Ah Hua's knees were about to touch the ground, Qin Shu quickly helped her up.
"I'm sorry, I've been having a bad temper these past two days, please don't take it personally."
Sister Ah Hua said in panic, "No, I crossed the line and forgot my duty."
Qin Shu patted the back of her hand: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore."
Auntie Hua put the phone in Qin Shu's hand and assured her, "Don't worry, Madam. I won't tip off the young master."
"I believe you." Qin Shu smiled softly and said, "You didn't sleep all night, did you? Go back and rest quickly. I'm here with the child."
"Okay——" Sister Hua left in a trance.
Qin Shu leaned against the door and watched the old man in his fifties leave, the smile in her eyes disappeared without a trace.
Xie Lanzhi's current status is noble, and the burden on his shoulders is too heavy.
It was so serious that Qin Shu didn't dare to gamble her own feelings. How deep was Xie Lanzhi's feelings for her?
If Xie Lanzhi did nothing, even if Qin Shu understood his dilemma, she would still be very disappointed.
If Xie Lanzhi gave up his current power and stayed with her forever, Qin Shu would be overwhelmed by the guilt.
The current situation has created a dilemma for Qin Shu.
"Tsk—" Qin Shu suddenly sneered and murmured softly: "It's just a mediocre person worrying about himself. The road is made by oneself!"
She turned around and pushed open the bedroom door, and saw Xie Chennan and Xie Jinyao lying on the bed, covered with a small quilt.

Time flies and three days have passed.
It rained for three days in Yunzhen, and the water level of the creek in the back mountain was rising rapidly.
Qin Shu stood under the eaves, listening to the sound of rain in the yard, her emotions were in a state of tension.
At this rate of rainfall, the huge rock on the bank of the creek will be submerged by the water level in a few days.
"Mother?"
Qin Shu's sleeve was grabbed by a small hand.
She looked down at Xie Chennan who was standing beside her, with a slight curve at the corners of her lips.
"What's wrong? Is your sister asleep?"
Xie Chennan nodded: "Yeah, Grandma Hua coaxed her to sleep."
Qin Shu ruffled her son's short hair and asked, "Are you bored? It's been raining these days and you can't leave the house."
"Not bad." Xie Chennan looked at her eagerly: "Mom, have you called Dad?"
The smile on Qin Shu's lips disappeared, and her long eyelashes drooped slightly.
"Yes, Dad is very busy. He is busy fighting the bad guys."
Xie Chennan tilted his head and asked, "What bad guys? How long will Dad fight them?"
Qin Shu said calmly: "It's the United States. They want to attack our server."
Just yesterday, a hacker war that shocked the world officially took place.
The trigger of the incident was the United States bombing China's overseas office building, which caused a big uproar.
Not only did the United States not apologize, but it also ordered attacks on Chinese servers in an attempt to demonstrate its dominance.
This is intolerable!
Xie Lanzhi had already asked his subordinates to search for network technicians all over the country.
Now, nearly 100,000 technicians from across the country have gathered together to join this battle to protect the country without the smoke of gunpowder.
This is not only a technical contest, but also a battle to defend the dignity of China.
When Xie Chennan heard that the bad guys were from the United States, he clenched his fists and said, "I want to beat up the bad guys too, and prick them with needles!"
Qin Shu ruthlessly ravaged her son's short hair: "You are so young, you can't beat up the bad guys. Dad will bring people to beat them to a pulp!"
Xie Chennan said with admiration: "Yeah! Dad is the best!"
Qin Shu smiled without saying anything. Thinking of Xie Lanzhi in Beijing, an unconscious longing emerged in her eyes.
The rain in Yunzhen finally stopped on the fifth day.
The water level of the creek behind the waterfall was only seven or eight centimeters away from submerging the huge rocks.
After Qin Shu heard the news, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Good news comes one after another.
That afternoon, Qin Shu received a call from Xie Lanzhi.
A man's voice came from the phone, unable to help himself: "Ah Shu, we won!"
One hundred thousand Chinese network technicians successfully hacked into more than one thousand U.S. websites, disclosed the passwords of more than 300 U.S. websites to the entire Internet, and planted the Chinese flag on the homepage of the U.S. royal palace.
When the Chinese war song resounded throughout the United States, China announced to the world that they had won the victory.
One hundred thousand people work day and night to defend the dignity of the country and win back the pride of China!
Qin Shu already knew the result and was not surprised at all.
She smiled and said lazily, "Congratulations, this is a beautiful and satisfying victory."
Xie Lanzhi, who was far away in the Imperial Palace in Beijing, had a handsome and gentle face with a bright smile, but his eyes were dark, and it was obvious that he had not slept well for several days.
He stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the gardener pruning the garden in the courtyard, his thin lips curled into a smile that came from the heart.
"Ashu, I miss you so much. I would be very happy if you were by my side."
It was rare for Xie Lanzhi to show his emotions so openly, and Qin Shu was stunned for a moment.
She suppressed her rapidly accelerating heartbeat and snorted, "You are happy, but I am unlucky. I guess you will keep me from getting out of bed for a week."
Qin Shu estimated that Xie Lanzhi's inner excitement would not be completely released until he was exhausted.
Xie Lanzhi did not refute, his clear voice was gentle and affectionate: "I miss you——"
