Chapter 103 103 Differential Treatment
Qin Xiaoxiao was a little annoyed that she didn't see anyone.
Who would feel good about making a wasted trip in the pouring rain?
Feeling that he might not see that person again today, he followed Sun Zhirou outside.
As she walked down the corridor leading to the main gate, Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at the wall unintentionally, and immediately spotted the person she wanted to see.
Qin Xiaoxiao stopped and pretended to look carefully at the photos, introductions, and achievements of each police officer hanging on the wall, but in reality, her eyes quickly scanned the information of that person.
This was a shock; after reading it, Qin Xiaoxiao almost couldn't help but scream.
Shi Lei!
That man's name is Shi Lei!
Oh no, the male lead is here!
Miao Feifei's destined person has appeared!
Wait a minute, why is the male lead here?
Qin Xiaoxiao followed Sun Zhirou out of the police station absentmindedly. Sun Zhirou pulled her along, and the two quickly disappeared into the rain.
"Xiaoxiao, how's it going? Did you see that person? If not, shall we go back and ask again?"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No need, I've already seen it."
Sun Zhirou was overjoyed. She looked around and realized this wasn't the place to talk, so she quickly pulled Qin Xiaoxiao to the state-run restaurant.
After the two sat down, Qin Hai came out from the kitchen. He first showed Sun Zhirou two rows of big white teeth, and then looked at Qin Xiaoxiao on the side.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxiao? Why isn't she saying anything?"
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to have something on her mind, Qin Hai asked Sun Zhirou in confusion.
Sun Zhirou pulled Qin Hai aside and whispered a few words in his ear, and Qin Hai suddenly realized what she meant.
"Isn't it a good thing that they recognized her? Now that we know who she is, we know how to deal with that bitch. Why aren't you happy?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Hai with a complicated expression.
Because he's the male lead, one of the only ten chosen ones in this world, how could she be happy?
Having learned who the other person was, Qin Xiaoxiao stopped looking for Miao Feifei and didn't inquire about Shi Lei's whereabouts.
You think you can just casually inquire about the male lead? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?
Qin Xiaoxiao greeted Qin Hai and Sun Zhirou and then returned to the village.
Qin Xiaoxiao hadn't figured out how to tell Grandma Qin about the wall hanging, so she went straight back to the educated youth compound. When she got home, she found her brother standing outside the door waiting for her.
Qin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and walked over with heavy steps. "Brother, why did you come here?"
Qin Ye glared at her, annoyed. "What do you think?"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled ingratiatingly, "How would I know? Did Grandma come looking for me?"
Qin Ye nodded helplessly, "That's right, it's Grandma. She told me to come over early this morning. I saw that no one was here, so I went back. But Grandma was afraid that she wouldn't know you were coming back, so she made me wait here and wouldn't let me use the key to open the door. I can only wait outside."
His grandmother said, "Does anyone have the right to enter a girl's room? Don't they know there's a difference between men and women? Even if he's her brother, he can't."
Furthermore, it is a crime to enter someone's home without their permission when they are not home, even if you have a key.
Okay, his grandma knows the law!
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Ye in surprise and asked tentatively, "So, brother, you've been standing here all morning?"
Qin Ye glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao with a resentful look, and reluctantly uttered a syllable through his nose, "Mmm."
Qin Xiaoxiao's lips twitched; she was incredibly impressed with her grandmother.
On a rainy day, she made her eldest grandson stand guard outside her granddaughter's door, just to tell her that the person her grandmother was looking for was someone else in the whole world.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but express her deep emotions.
Her grandma is so good to her, but she really doesn't treat her eldest grandson like a human being!
Qin Xiaoxiao changed direction. "Let's go."
She'd been standing there all morning, and she couldn't bear to stand any longer!
The two siblings quickly returned to the Qin family home. As soon as they entered the gate, Qin Xiaoxiao saw Old Mrs. Qin standing under the eaves, looking around. The moment she saw her, Old Mrs. Qin's face changed noticeably.
Grandma Qin's mouth was practically stretched to her ears in a wide grin, and the worry in her eyes turned into surprise.
Seeing that Grandma Qin was about to rush outside despite the heavy rain, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly stopped her.
"Grandma, you stand there and wait, don't come any closer, I'm coming in now."
Grandma Qin obediently stood still, waiting for Qin Xiaoxiao to enter.
Once inside, Grandma Qin helped Qin Xiaoxiao take off her raincoat, and then rushed inside to find her a pair of her own cotton shoes, placing them on the ground for Qin Xiaoxiao to wear.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked down and saw new shoes.
"Grandma, don't you have any old shoes? Just grab any pair, my feet are dirty and they'll get dirty."
Grandma Qin shook her head with a smile, "Don't worry, it'll be fine after a wash. Hurry up and put them on, your feet have been covered up all morning, it must be so uncomfortable!"
Qin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to obediently take off her rain boots and put on her cotton shoes. The shoes were a bit too small to fit into, so she could only wear them as slippers.
Qin Xiaoxiao tiptoed into the room and immediately climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed). Old Mrs. Qin then handed her a towel to wipe her face.
After tidying herself up, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the people in the room.
Qin Aiguo sat on the kang (heated brick bed) smoking. Qin Feng, wow! This is terrible!
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to look and quickly turned her head away.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.
Hold it in!
Qin Xiaoxiao, the time has come to test your patience.
In a short while, Qin Ye also entered the house, but he did not receive the same treatment as Qin Xiaoxiao. Old Mrs. Qin completely ignored him and did not even spare him a glance.
Qin Ye didn't care. Over the past two months, he had gotten used to the different treatment his grandmother and the whole family gave him and his sister. In short, his sister was his biological child, and he was adopted.
"Grandma, you've made my brother stand outside my door all morning, is there something you need?"
Grandma Qin was taken aback. "No, I just didn't know when you would be back, and I was worried something might happen to you."
Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Why did you make my brother stand at the door when nothing was wrong? It was raining so hard, didn't you care at all!
Grandma Qin also climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), smiling as she looked at Qin Xiaoxiao. "Xiaoxiao, where did you go this morning? It was raining so hard, why weren't you staying home? Why were you wandering around?"
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and whispered to Grandma Qin, "I went to the city, Grandma. You don't know, Miao Feifei from our educated youth settlement didn't come back all night. I suspect she went to the city to borrow money from someone."
Zhao Xing asked her for fifty yuan as hush money, but where would she get so much money? And no one at the educated youth institute would lend her any, so she had to find another way.
The day before yesterday, I went to town and saw her having dinner with a man I'd never seen before. I suspect Miao Feifei went to borrow money from him.
Grandma Qin frowned at first, then scolded her in an annoyed tone, "Let her borrow it, what's it to you? Don't do it again next time! It's so dangerous for a young girl like you to go into the city alone in the rain!"
Just as Qin Xiaoxiao was about to say it was nothing, Qin Feng, who was squatting by the heated brick bed, spoke up.
"Are you sure Miao Zhiqing wasn't at the educated youth compound last night?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, "Yes, I'm sure. I went to her room last night before I went to bed, and she wasn't there."
Qin Feng's brows furrowed tightly, as if he were thinking of something.
