His Beloved Treasure

"How could it be? Of course there won’t be any misunderstanding! Is it possible that this beautiful lady is blind and would be interested in that old rogue? A beauty like you must have plenty of young bosses around who like you, right?" Qin Mingzhu pretended to look very optimistic about her and asked. "Not really!" Zhang Hongyun said with her head down, feeling praised, and made a shy expression. "How could it be not? With this beauty, there are hardly any men in Rongcheng who are worthy of you!" Qin Mingzhu gently nudged Helian Hao with her elbow, signaling her to play along. "Hmm! We still have things to do later, we should get going!" Helian Hao agreed and then quietly reminded Qin Mingzhu not to overdo it. "Alright then! Let’s go!" Qin Mingzhu nodded and then said goodbye to Zhang Hongyun. As Zhang Hongyun parted ways with them, she already had no grudges against them, and even felt that the girl with Helian Hao was just like her. Unfortunately, she forgot to ask for their names and WeChat, they should add each other as friends, surely they’d get along well, and maybe the girl might be carrying the child of some married man! Thinking of Fan Qing, she felt a bit choked up inside. They came from the same place, but suddenly Fan Qing distanced herself from her. Did Fan Qing really think she didn’t notice that estrangement? But, who was it that sowed discord between Fan Qing and her? Without Fan Qing around, many things became inconvenient, and really, she didn’t even have someone to talk to. Zhang Hongyun’s face wasn’t as terrible as the doctor said, and it healed quickly. With a bit of concealer, she could easily manage it. Her biggest wish now was to have some interaction with Mu Yichen. On the way back, Qin Mingzhu and Helian Hao sent a message to Qin Mu, along with pictures. Qin Mu thought Qin Mingzhu staying in Rongcheng might really be quite boring. On reflection, it seemed those old classmates didn’t keep in touch much, but she believed if Qin Mingzhu stayed in Rongcheng, she’d soon establish her network, though it wouldn’t be like the old days when status was prioritized over quality. Qin Mu also looked forward to the day when the girl she once disliked the most might end up having a better life than hers. Xiaomei called again, saying someone came by today wanting to cancel their contract, and she agreed as Qin Mu instructed, but unexpectedly a boss came wanting to retract the cancellation. Qin Mu found it puzzling. Could it be that someone heard Wang Huanyu would be staying in Rongcheng and wanted to collaborate again, thinking she had a brother-in-law in a government position? Or... She suddenly thought of Mu Yichen asking her last night, even though she told him not to worry, his nature might lead him to actually get involved. The rain stopped at around ten in the morning, and as soon as it did, the whole family went out, everyone seeming busy, leaving only Qin Mu at home by herself all day, eating and sleeping. It wasn’t until evening that the house came alive again, with the family sitting on the sofa eating snacks and watching TV. Feng Fanghua said to her, "Huanhuan’s kindergarten is ending here, she can rest for a few days and prepare to start first grade!" "Hmm!" Qin Mu nodded in agreement. "During this period, your dad and I are thinking of taking her and her little brother to stay at Qingxin’s for a while, as a trip and also to see our daughter, do you have any thoughts on this?" Feng Fanghua asked her again. "It’s good to see Qingxin, come to think of it, I don’t think we’ve gone over to her place since she got married!" Qin Mu thought for a moment and said. "I thought so too, we don’t want people over there to think our family doesn’t value her. She’s also been complaining to me these past few days, so I had this idea. Since you have no objections, we’ll set off tomorrow. But about your grandfather, you have to be more attentive!" Feng Fanghua said to her, fearing Qin Mu might not agree to her taking the children out alone due to their differences in educational philosophy. "Hmm!" Qin Mu looked at her grandfather in the front and couldn’t help but smile, thinking, actually, it’s grandpa taking care of me. "What do I need care for? These old arms and legs are fine. I’ll watch over their little couple at home for you, you can go and have a good reunion with Qingxin without worry!" The old man was displeased upon hearing this, not wanting to be spoken of like he was a burden. "Alright, alright, if you can keep an eye on their little couple and help them argue less, we’ll be grateful!" Feng Fanghua knew her father-in-law cared about face, so she replied especially appreciatively.
