Chapter 10: Illegitimate Child



After Xia Canyang and others left Qiu Shui's villa, they did not leave immediately, but went directly to the townhouse where Zhang Jiayun lived.

Coincidentally, when several people went to Zhang Jiayun's house, Zhang Jiayun's father was also there.

Zhang Hongtao is the head of the Zhang family, a branch of the Kyoto family.

As soon as Zhang Jiayun and his companions entered the living room, they saw Zhang Hongtao drinking tea and reading a newspaper.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jiayun coming back with Xia Canyang and others, Zhang Hongtao immediately put down the newspaper and frowned, "You little brat, you didn't go to work again? Why can't you learn from your brother and be more promising?"

"How can I compare with my brother? I am only suitable to run the store for my brother." Zhang Jiayun shrugged and sat down next to Zhang Hongtao. "Dad, I remember that the people who lived in Villa No. 3 before were not the Qin family?"

Zhang Hongtao said to Xia Canyang and the others, "You guys can sit down too."

Then after listening to Zhang Jiayun's words, he said, "It's the Qin family. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Zhang Jiayun said, "Dad, the Qin family has moved away. The person living there now is a young man in his twenties who just moved in today."

"Young man?" Zhang Hongtao raised his eyebrows. "Impossible. The Qin family lived well. Why would they move away? Who is that young man?"

"It's a man named Qiu Shui. We checked his background and it's very simple. It's so simple that there's no way he could afford Villa No. 3."

Zhang Jiayun thought his father knew about this, but he didn't expect that his father didn't know either.

"There is such a thing?" Zhang Hongtao was surprised. "The Qin family has always been domineering. They live well in Villa No. 3 and there is no way they will move out. Either the Qin family got into trouble and sold the villa. Or, the young man must have a relationship with the Qin family, so the villa was transferred to his name."

At this time, Xia Canyang couldn't help but interjected, "Uncle Zhang, we suspect that Qiu Shui is very likely the illegitimate child of the Qin family."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Zhang Hongtao asked.

Xia Canyang said: "When we met Qiu Shui yesterday, he was alone and had a meal in a private room at Tianya Pavilion. We went there for a meal."

"The supreme box of Tianya Pavilion?" Zhang Hongtao knew very well what this meant.

There are several families in Kyoto behind Tianya Pavilion, and the supreme box of Tianya Pavilion is prepared for those families. People from other families can only use other boxes. This has become an unspoken rule among the big families in Kyoto.

Therefore, the only people who can dine in the supreme box of Tianya Pavilion are those from those big families. And he is an important figure in the family.

The fact that the young man named Qiu Shui was able to go to the Supreme Box to dine by himself was enough to show that he was a member of several families and a person of high status in the family.

Zhang Hongtao knew the people in several big families in Kyoto very well, and among the important figures in those big families, there was no one named Qiu Shui.

Except the Qin family.

Some time ago, it was heard that the only direct heir of the Qin family had been in a car accident. He has been sleeping in the hospital for more than a week and has not woken up yet.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the Qin family, the head of the Qin family brought his illegitimate son back to the Qin family.

Once the direct heir of the Qin family really cannot wake up, the illegitimate child will become the legitimate heir to the head of the Qin family.

Until now, the direct heir of the Qin family has not woken up, so the illegitimate son is basically the official heir.

If the young man named Qiu Shui is really the illegitimate son of the Qin family, then everything seems to make sense.

Adopted son, supreme box, villa no. 3.

All of this points to the young man named Qiu Shui as the illegitimate son of the Qin family.

Zhang Hongtao pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Jiayun: "Jiayun, what is your relationship with that young man named Qiushui?"

For large families, illegitimate children are very common. As long as he could become the heir of the Qin family, the identity of an illegitimate child was nothing.

Their Zhang family is just a branch of the Kyoto Zhang family and is a long way from the real Zhang family.

The Qin family and the Zhang family are big families on par with each other.

Of course it would be best if I could establish a good relationship with that illegitimate child.

Even if we can't establish a good relationship, it's good as long as we don't offend anyone.

Zhang Jiayun rubbed his head and said, "We just met, so we can't say we have a very good relationship. But Canyang is holding a birthday party tomorrow night and invited him, and he agreed."

Zhang Hongtao nodded. "It's good that he agreed. If he agrees, it proves that he is interested in associating with you. I'll have a good chat with Lao Xia and the others later. By the way, let someone check the background of that young man."

Zhang Hongtao and Xia Canyang's father, as well as Zhou Hao and others' fathers, are all good friends, so Zhang Jiayun and others can play together.

Before, several families in Kyoto were all maintaining a balance.

People from those families have always looked down on these side branches. Even the main family of the Zhang family has never paid much attention to Zhang Hongtao and other side branches of the family.

In fact, all the wealth and power that the Zhang family has possessed over the years were earned by Zhang Hongtao himself.

Not only did the Zhang family's main family not help, they were even afraid that Zhang Hongtao's side branch would become too powerful, so they secretly suppressed him.

Especially in recent years, after the Zhang family replaced its new head, they wanted to bring the power and wealth in the hands of Zhang Hongtao and other side branches into the main family.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhang Hongtao and the main family of the Zhang family has become very strained.

However, the main family of the Zhang family is more powerful, and it is impossible for Zhang Hongtao to fight against the main family of the Zhang family.

Therefore, Zhang Hongtao joined forces with the newly emerging families such as the Xia family and the Zhou family to form a strong bond.

In this way, the masters would not dare to attack them easily.

He won't take action, but he won't let them get ahead either, so Zhang Hongtao wants to seek a breakthrough.

The Qin family's illegitimate son is most likely a way for them to break through the barriers.

Qiu Shui doesn't know yet that someone has mistaken him for the Qin family's illegitimate son.

After he opened the random blind box, he never opened the sports car blind box again.

He already has a car, and thinking that he would give the sports car blind box to Xia Canyang as a birthday gift when he attends Xia Canyang's birthday party tomorrow.

Anyway, he saw that Xia Canyang also liked sports cars.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this way, he no longer needs to swipe his black card to prepare a birthday gift for Xia Canyang.

After all, the blind box is produced by the system, and Xia Canyang is the protagonist of tomorrow's birthday party. I believe he will have good luck.

Maybe he could win an expensive sports car, and in that case, he could complete the system's task at the same time.

Even if he is unlucky and the sports car he wins is of very low price, at worst he can find a way to give the 10 million yuan in the black card to Xia Canyang as a gift.

As long as I can complete the task and not be punished, I will give it 10 million.

Since he was already at the villa, Qiu Shui decided to have lunch here first. He just needed to go out and buy some vegetables, rice, and seasonings before he could cook.

Qiu Shui had already made plans. Now that he had a villa, he would move out of the dormitory.

Anyway, it won't be long before we have to move out. There is nothing wrong with moving out early, and it will make it more convenient to complete various tasks issued by the system.

There is a large supermarket on the street opposite Jinyue Bay.

What Qiu Shui didn't expect was that the things bought in the supermarket were much more expensive than those outside.

But there is a considerate service that can deliver the goods to your door.

Qiu Shui thought that he didn't have a driver's license, so he couldn't drive even if he had a car.

If you take a taxi to go out to buy things, it will be a problem to move back to the villa.

So, it’s a bit more expensive.

After all, he is now a man with tens of millions of dollars in assets, he can't always be so stingy.

Although he said so, when shopping, Qiu Shui still habitually buys affordable things.

After everything was delivered, Qiu Shui started to cook the first meal in his own house.

After finishing his lunch, Qiu Shui slowly began to visit his own villa.

The villa has three floors and an underground parking lot.

Behind the villa, there is a garden and a swimming pool.

Qiu Shui spent several hours to explore every corner of the villa.

It was only after he explored the villa that he realized that someone had lived in it before.

Come to think of it, there are so many rich people in Kyoto, and it is impossible for the villa in the prime location of Jinyue Bay to remain empty until now.

Although it is a second-hand house, the decoration style is exactly to Qiu Shui's taste.

Sitting on the balcony, drinking milk tea and looking at the scenery outside, Qiu Shui couldn't help but sigh.

I have a car, a house, and savings.

Qiu Shui suddenly felt that his life was complete.

In the afternoon, Qiu Shui returned to the dormitory and prepared to move his luggage over.

Unexpectedly, Liang Liang also returned to the dormitory and happened to see Qiu Shui packing his luggage.

"Qiu Shui, are you planning to move out?"

Qiu Shui said, "Hmm," and said, "I found the house."

"So fast? It seems that you must have found a job. Congratulations." Liang Liang was really happy for Qiu Shui. In his opinion, if Qiu Shui had not found a job, he would definitely not move out so soon.

Seeing that Liang Liang had misunderstood, Qiu Shui did not explain, but just said: "Are you free tonight? Invite Dagang and Ouyang to have dinner together, I will treat you."

Liang Liang joked, "Oh, the stingy guy actually plucked his feathers. Fine, it's rare that you treat me, so I have to rip you off tonight. I'll call Dagang and Ouyang."

At 6:30 in the evening, Zhou Dagang and Ouyang Xu both came back.

Although they all shouted that they wanted to kill Qiu Shui, in fact, they just went to a roadside barbecue stall outside the school.

They all knew that Qiu Shui didn't have much money, so from the beginning they had no plans to go to any high-end restaurants.

Qiu Shui sat down and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to rip me off? Why did you come here anyway?"

Zhou Dagang laughed and said, "It seems like you found a good job. You are so proud of yourself."

Liang Liang also smiled and said, "That's right, don't worry, I will definitely not hold back. Come on, Ouyang, you go first, no need to be polite to Qiu Shui."

After saying that, Liang Liang handed the menu to Ouyang Xu.

Ouyang Xu didn't even look at the menu, and shouted to the owner of the barbecue stall: "Boss, give me a big plate of grilled fish, fifty skewers of lamb, fifty skewers of beef, two dozen oysters, eight grilled chicken wings, twenty more skewers of kidneys, and two pounds of spicy crayfish."

Qiu Shui scolded with a smile: "Ouyang, you are really rude. You have learned bad things from Dagang and Liangzi."

Ouyang Xu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously: "Well, those who keep company with bad people will become bad."

Zhou Dagang and Liang Liang quit immediately.

"Ouyang, what are you doing?"

"Ouyang, I think you are so brave that you actually curse us in a roundabout way."
