Qin Wan’er sent away Dong Zhiping and the others, and upon returning, she found that Yan Yutong’s gift had been opened. Although she felt a bit disappointed, she didn’t say anything.
"Mom, give the things back to Wan’er." Xia Yanbing said.
Dong Jinsu looked reluctant and unwilling to return them.
"Sister-in-law, if Aunt Dong likes them, just give them to her. I’m just a student; I don’t have use for these things." Qin Wan’er only hoped that Dong Jinsu, having taken these things, would treat her brother a little better in the future.
Dong Jinsu immediately laughed like a blooming flower, "Then Aunt will accept them, thank you, Wan’er."
This was probably the first time since Qin Wan’er entered this household that Dong Jinsu smiled at her, and of course, this disgusting smile was entirely due to those things.
"Wan’er, just now Miss Yan gave you a black card, saying it could be used for free in all Dong Family stores..."
Dong Jinsu’s smile was extremely off-putting, full of greed.
Qin Wan’er took out the card, "If Aunt likes it, you can have it."
"How could I accept this? You gave this to me, what if Miss Yan asks? I couldn’t say it was me who wanted it." Dong Jinsu spoke as she stepped forward to take the card.
Xia Yanbing quickly took the card from Qin Wan’er’s hand, glanced at it, and said, "This is the Dong Family’s supreme card, and the number on this card is 005, meaning it’s the fifth supreme card issued by the Dong Family. I think the other four must be in the hands of top tycoons in Yinfeng City."
Qin Yi thought of his own card, which had the number 004.
Xia Yanbing returned the card to Qin Wan’er, saying, "Wan’er, keep this card safe. It symbolizes the Dong Family, and must not be lost."
Dong Jinsu was embarrassed, glaring angrily at Xia Yanbing.
"Wan’er, it’s getting late, go rest early. You have to go to the Dong Family to learn piano tomorrow."
Qin Wan’er nodded, "Good night, brother, good night, sister-in-law, good night, uncle and aunt!"
"Wait a minute." Dong Jinsu suddenly said, "Wan’er, I want to ask you, why did Chairman Dong suddenly decide to adopt you as a sister?"
Qin Wan’er was also puzzled and said softly, "I, I don’t know either."
"You don’t know? With Chairman Dong’s status, how could he adopt you as a sister for no reason? What’s going on? Did you invite Chairman Dong tonight?" Dong Jinsu questioned.
Qin Wan’er quickly shook her head, "I really don’t know. That night, a classmate was bullying me, and Brother Dong helped me. He said it was by someone else’s request. I didn’t know Brother Dong would come today, nor do I know why he adopted me as a sister."
Xia Yanbing’s face changed slightly, was it at someone else’s request again?
"Wan’er, did you ever ask Chairman Dong who asked him for the favor?" Xia Yanbing asked.
"I asked, but Brother Dong wouldn’t tell me."
"Alright, go rest." Xia Yanbing said.
Qin Wan’er nodded, hugged her things, smiled sweetly at Qin Yi, and happily went to her room.
"I haven’t finished my questions yet?" Dong Jinsu shouted angrily.
Xia Yanbing said indifferently, "Don’t ask. I believe Wan’er is telling the truth. Liu Zhanyuan and Dong Zhiping helped me also at someone else’s request, but when I asked, they tightly kept their mouths shut, wary of this person, unwilling to tell me. Who could this person be?"
"Could it be some young master secretly in love with you?" Dong Jinsu asked excitedly.
Xia Yanbing frowned, "No."
"How come? Xiaobing is so beautiful and outstanding, isn’t it entirely normal for those young masters to be interested in her?" Dong Jinsu said, full of excitement, "Maybe it’s a young master from a family like the Duan Family. If so, that would be great."
No one in Yinfeng City didn’t know about the Duan Family, the wealthiest family in Yinfeng City.
Qin Yi sneered inwardly, listening to Dong Jinsu forget her preferred son-in-law Han Ning as soon as she started talking about this, thinking this woman really disgusted him.
"If it’s a young master from the Duan Family, they would never be so secretive. Besides, if it’s really someone of that status, it’s impossible they’d be interested in me." Xia Yanbing said calmly and then went upstairs directly.
"Whoever it is, they’re better than this worthless person." Dong Jinsu shouted, looking disdainfully at Qin Yi.
Xia Yujiang looked at Dong Jinsu with disgust and turned to walk toward the door.
"It’s so late, which vixen are you off to find this time?" Dong Jinsu turned and shouted at Xia Yujiang.
Xia Yujiang sneered, "Count your money and keep your mouth shut. The Xia Family will be ruined sooner or later by you."
"You can’t go; you’re going to find a vixen again, aren’t you?" Dong Jinsu chased after him, and the two started tearing at each other right at the door.
Qin Yi sighed, truly never a moment of peace. Haven’t they thought about Xiaobing’s feelings? Shaking his head, Qin Yi also turned and went upstairs.
When Qin Yi returned to his room, he saw Xia Yanbing sitting on the bed, not sure what she was thinking about.
Seeing Qin Yi enter, Xia Yanbing looked up and asked, "Qin Yi, do you have any relatives in Yinfeng City?"
Qin Yi was taken aback, "Don’t you already know?"
Qin Yi had an uncle, but after his parents passed away and Qin Yi became disabled, his uncle was afraid Qin Yi would bring trouble to his family and hadn’t contacted him for many years.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything. Just curious about who commissioned Chairman Dong and Director Liu to help me and Wan’er?" Xia Yanbing said apologetically.
"It’s okay!" From the moment his uncle drove him out, he only had Wan’er as a relative in this world, and he had long ceased to care about it. Qin Yi smiled, "Whoever it is, they mean no harm to you and Wan’er."
"Do you think the person who asked Chairman Dong and Director Liu to help us is the same person?"
Qin Yi said, "Probably."
Xia Yanbing said nothing more, falling into silence, and suddenly looked up, "I’m sorry!"
"Hmm?" Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Xia Yanbing was suddenly apologizing to him?
"Tonight, I didn’t know Han Ning would come either."
"I know you were tricked into coming back." Qin Yi smiled, realizing she was apologizing for this matter.
"Qin Yi, I know my parents aren’t good to you, but they will always be my parents, and I hope you don’t hold any grudge against them. I will try to make it up to you. Even though I don’t love you, you are still my husband, and I should take care of your dignity; I haven’t done well on these. Wan’er needed a computer, and I didn’t even realize, I’m sorry."
Qin Yi smiled bitterly inside, is it necessary to repeat "I don’t love you" every time? Do you know it’s really heartbreaking?
"Family, it’s okay!" Qin Yi smiled. In any case, he stayed in this home only because of this woman in front of him.
Xia Yanbing nodded and walked towards the bathroom.
Qin Yi shrugged, once pondering whether to tell Xia Yanbing that he had already recovered and that it was he who was protecting her from the shadows.
But in the end, he abandoned the idea; now if he said it, with Xia Yanbing’s personality, she would definitely see him as a marriage scammer.
Qin Yi lowered his head and chuckled, actually hiding in the shadows wasn’t bad either; he could still protect those he wanted to protect, and it was quite nice. He suddenly felt like a boss manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
