Chapter 31: Li Wei'er
762 Words
Watching Chen Xuan enter the bathroom, Li Wei'er felt her face heating up, her heart pounding in her chest. It seemed like… that guy hadn’t fully covered himself with his hands just now, had he?
“Shuyi, why did you ask this guy to take off his pants in front of us? That’s so embarrassing!” Li Wei'er said, her face flushed.
Qin Shuyi also had a slight blush on her face but gave Li Wei'er a glance and replied, “I didn’t ask you to look, did I? Anyway, he’ll be living here with us from now on. He’ll stay on the first floor, and we’ll stay on the second floor.”
Upon hearing this, Li Wei'er huffed in protest, “Shuyi, having him live here is going to be so inconvenient for us. And this guy… he looks like a pervert. What if he has bad intentions towards us?”
“Don’t worry. Even if he has those intentions, he doesn’t have the guts to act on them.” Qin Shuyi was confident about this. She knew certain things and felt certain about this guy’s identity. She also understood that her fate was tied to him, even if she was reluctant to admit it.
“Fine…” Li Wei'er said helplessly before suddenly asking, “By the way, Shuyi, how did you end up becoming this guy’s ‘Master’s wife’? Does he have a master, too?”
Qin Shuyi didn’t respond to that question.
At this point, Chen Xuan came out of the bathroom. Seeing the two women sitting in the living room, he had to admit that his Masters’ wives hadn’t been lying. All the other wives were indeed stunningly beautiful, far more so than the actresses on TV.
“Heh heh, Master’s wife, do you need me to do anything else?” Although Chen Xuan wasn’t sure why Qin Shuyi had asked him to take off his pants, he always complied with his wives' orders. Of course, he couldn’t guess that the reason for the command was simply to verify his identity.
Qin Shuyi took a deep breath and looked at him. “When did you arrive in Dongling City? Did Big Brother and Second Brother send you here?”
“Uh, I just arrived not long ago, Master’s wife. I got accepted into Dongling University. I came to Dongling City to see you, and in about ten days, school will start.” Chen Xuan answered honestly.
“Just arrived? Hmph…” Li Wei'er clearly didn’t believe him. “Then tell me, how did you end up at the jade market yesterday? You don’t even know what kind of luck you had, but you found a piece of ice-jadeite among the scraps.”
Tsk, this woman really liked to meddle, Chen Xuan thought as he rolled his eyes. “You saw it too, didn’t you? I was just there with a friend.”
Before Li Wei'er could say anything else, Qin Shuyi waved her hand and said, “Since you came here to study, you can stay with us for now. Also, give me the five million from yesterday. I’ll keep it safe for you. Whenever you need it, I’ll return it.”
Qin Shuyi was a bit wary. Dongling City was much more complex than a small mountain village, with too many temptations. She was worried that he might make a mistake if he had that much money on hand.
Hearing this, Chen Xuan reluctantly handed over his bank card. Originally, he’d hoped to raid Master’s wife’s small treasury, but it seemed like his little savings were the ones getting taken away instead.
Seeing Chen Xuan’s disgruntled expression, Li Wei'er waved the bank card in front of him with a smug look on her face. “Look at you, yesterday you wouldn’t sell the jade to us, but now the money has ended up in our hands. Shuyi, how about we go to a nice restaurant for a meal?”
Chen Xuan’s face immediately darkened. Damn it, this woman was clearly trying to screw him over, wasn’t she? He vaguely remembered that she had quoted a seven-hundred-thousand price for the jade yesterday—clearly, she wasn’t short of money. Now, she was eyeing his small fortune.
Just as Qin Shuyi was about to respond, her phone rang. She answered it, and after listening for a while, her face changed slightly. She said, “Stay there and keep an eye on things. I’ll be there right away.”
“Shuyi, what’s going on?” Li Wei'er asked, concerned.
