Qiao Ying had just left when Qin's Mother arrived.
When Qin's Mother heard that Qiao Ying had left, she felt a little resentful that Qin Hanyue had not kept her there. She had not yet properly thanked Qiao Ying in person.
Qin Hanyue consoled her, "There will be opportunities in the future."
He thought to himself: Qiao Ying probably left without a word because she did not want to deal with their effusive gratitude.
Qin's Mother said, "Ask her when she has time. When your father wakes up, your father and I will go to properly thank her."
Qin Hanyue: "Okay."
Hearing Qin Hanyue agree, Qin's Mother felt relieved. She then asked, "Hanyue, how old is the young lady?"
Qin Hanyue: "Eighteen, her name is Qiao Ying, Qiao as in qiao mu (wood), Ying as in ying zi (shadow), she's from Yun City. She has parents, a younger brother and sister. She just started her freshman year at Capital University, she's a top student. President Zhang personally went to Yun City to recruit her when her college entrance exam results came out."
She only asked for her age, but he said a lot.
The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, all with knowing reactions.
Qin's Mother smiled and said, "Tell your mother the truth, did you reject the Su family's marriage proposal because of this young lady? Are you two...?"
Qin Hanyue glanced at his two gossiping sisters-in-law.
He shook his head and explained, "At the moment, I have a one-sided affection for the young lady. As for her feelings towards me... She's still young, emotional matters are too early for her. In short, I'm still pursuing her."
It would be inappropriate to ruin the young lady's reputation when nothing was settled.
The two sisters-in-law were quite surprised. After all, with Qin Hanyue's background, ability and looks, this situation was unreasonable. No one could compare to him in all aspects.
Qin's Mother asked, "Does she look down on you for your age?"
Qin Hanyue: "..."
If it was Qin Yan who had asked this, Qin Hanyue would have twisted his head off right there to kick around like a ball.
The eldest sister-in-law said, "Older men are more caring. There's a saying, 'old husband and young wife.' Besides, thirty is the age when a man should be established. It's just the right age."
The second sister-in-law added: "That's right, a man's age matters the least."
Qin Hanyue said, "She's not a superficial person."
Qin's Mother said, "As long as she doesn't mind your age, that's good. I was really worried you would end up alone. Knowing that you like someone puts my mind at ease. She seems good in every way - looks, personality - I like her."
Qin Hanyue nodded slightly. "Definitely."
The second sister-in-law said, "Pursuing a girl takes some effort. Young ladies like a sense of ritual at this age. You have to cater to her preferences."
Ritual sense? She always handles things decisively. She doesn't like fancy, long-winded things.
Cater to her preferences? That might be difficult. After all, the things she likes... Qin Hanyue suddenly thought of something.
God's equipment - she would probably like that.
That afternoon, around dusk, Old Master Qin, who had been in a coma for nearly a year, woke up in bed.
Qin Hanyue immediately called Qiao Ying.
After dialing, he realized that Qiao Ying, who did not sleep well last night, might be resting. He was about to hang up but fortunately did not.
Qiao Ying was awake and answered his call.
Faintly, he heard the sound of her typing on the other end of the phone, her speed very fast, unlike doing homework or playing games.
In the villa, Qiao Ying wore a Bluetooth headset, monitoring the two people on the screen talking -
Wei Qingyuan: "Counting the time, Qin Zhengfeng probably only has these two months left. Qin Hanyue is a filial son. When his father dies, Qin Hanyue will definitely be overwhelmed and unable to handle both sides, exhausted physically and mentally. I'll take the opportunity to make a move on him. In one or two years, after he dies, his two elder brothers and still unmarried younger generation will not be threatening. By then, with the people we've arranged inside the Qins to coordinate an inside and outside attack, within three to five years, I don't believe we can't take over the Qins."
Qiao Ying: So Qin Hanyue's father's poison was indeed administered by this old guy. He even wants to poison Qin Hanyue.
No matter what, Qin Hanyue would never have imagined that the philanthropist he was chatting pleasantly with at the auction two days ago was the one who poisoned his father.
Teng Yan: "A few days ago when Qin Zhengfeng was critically ill, he had a rushed surgery. Then he was hurriedly taken back to the Qins. I don't know if he's still alive."
Wei Qingyuan laughed and said, "They actually dared to operate. This Qin Hanyue really is gutsy. Don't worry, the person who can solve the Blue Sea Hawthorn poison is already dead in the South China Sea. Qin Zhengfeng will undoubtedly die."
Then he asked, "How are the preparations I asked you to do?"
Teng Yan: "Father, rest assured, everything is ready. Dark Shadow's branch in the Capital City will show themselves to meet with us in two days."
Wei Qingyuan nodded: "JOKER let me take over Dark Shadow's branch in the Capital City, but didn't give me any real power, nor allow me to completely leave Dark Shadow. There's no such good thing in the world. Since he is unkind, I have no choice but to be unjust. In two days, try every means to draw over this branch. I want it for my own use to start my own faction."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ying couldn't help sneering. Her laughter was full of sarcasm.
This old guy's ambition was really something else. Not only did he want the Qins, he even had ideas for Dark Shadow.
He was already almost in the coffin, yet still had such great ambition. She really didn't know whether to praise or mock him.
So Dark Shadow was going to have an internal conflict? What a pity the old guy Red Heart K wouldn't get the chance to participate in this internal strife. She had to settle her score with the old guy first.
On the phone, Qin Hanyue heard Qiao Ying's sudden cold laugh and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?"
"I just remembered something funny. No other issues, goodbye Mr. Qin." Qiao Ying said, then hung up.
Teng Yan: "Father, we've only made the first move against the Qins. There are too many uncertainties. If we can't draw over Dark Shadow's branch and JOKER notices disloyalty, I fear we'll be attacked from both front and back."
Qiao Ying: At least this adopted son has some capability.
But he didn't think that his adopted father only had so many years left to wait.
Wei Qingyuan: "You're still young. You can take it slow and steady. I'm old, I don't have that much time to wait."
Teng Yan: "Father, don't worry. I will definitely handle this properly."
After being hung up by Qiao Ying, Qin Hanyue called for Qin Yan.
"Investigate Wei Qingyuan?"
Hearing Qin Hanyue ask him to investigate Wei Qingyuan, Qin Yan was surprised.
He wondered: Is he certain he wants to investigate the old Wei, not the young one?
That night, from Teng Yan's calls with his subordinates, Qiao Ying, who had bugged Teng Yan's phone, learned the location of Wei Qingyuan and Dark Shadow's meeting -
Wei Qingyuan had bought a cruise ship.
The meeting location was on this cruise ship, on the prosperous river flowing through the center of Capital City.
The old guy was very wary. The security system used in his home was extremely expensive so it was inconvenient for Qiao Ying to monitor him at all times.
But the old guy trusted his adopted son Teng Yan very much. He handed all matters to Teng Yan. From Teng Yan's phone, Qiao Ying learned a lot.
One interesting thing was - the so-called philanthropist was actually using charity as a front to amass wealth.
The money was never donated. It all went into the old guy's pockets.
The National Day holiday was over.
Qiao Ying didn't go to school and took two days off. She tinkered around in the villa for two days.
The two days passed quickly.
It was the day Wei Qingyuan met with Dark Shadow's branch.
Qiao Ying was prepared and ready to go.
Tonight on the cruise ship, there would be an unprecedented grand banquet.
Qiao Ying had just left when Qin's Mother arrived.
When Qin's Mother heard that Qiao Ying had left, she felt a little resentful that Qin Hanyue had not kept her there. She had not yet properly thanked Qiao Ying in person.
