Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 81: Avoid Speaking in Absolute Terms

On the ground floor of the Shao residence, only Shao Yongkang and his wife remained in the living room.

Qin Haochen, Qin Fujia, and Qin Qianyi were worried about Ann and couldn’t sit still in the living room.

They went to the staircase to wait for her.

Shen Shuwen picked up the teacup from the table and lightly sipped from it, her red lips pursed.

She stretched her neck slightly and glanced outside the living room, murmuring softly, "These people from the Qin family have no manners at all. If they didn’t know any better, they would think our Xinxin would bully their wild miss upstairs!"

"The situation is already chaotic enough. Don’t add to it by saying such things."

Shao Yongkang said, his words contradicting his inner agreement with his wife.

As the parent of precious daughters, he also worried that the Qin family’s miss would bully his daughter Xinxin!

The Qin family first unreasonably demanded a diamond apple, accused Xinxin of theft, and then acted as if they were afraid Xinxin would bully their Ann.

It was clear that they didn’t regard the Shao family highly.

Shen Shuwen bit her lip and cast a glance at her husband, full of grievances.

"With Xinxin’s hand injured like this, I’m still worried that their wild miss will bully her again!"

Shao Yongkang’s expression became solemn, and he sighed heavily, glancing at the Qin family members still waiting at the staircase.

Suddenly, a loud ga came from outside: "Ga ga!"

Shen Shuwen put down her teacup, furrowing her brows in confusion.

"Why is there a honking sound? Did a wild goose enter our house?"

"I don’t know," Shao Yongkang shook his head.

Moments later, the voices of the Qin family members could be heard, as if they were familiar with that goose.

Shao Yongkang furrowed his brows, stood up, and said, "Let’s go and see."

At the staircase, after Qin Sui’an went upstairs, the three Qin family members moved to this side of the staircase.

Qin Haochen raised his head slightly, his deep gaze fixed on the direction upstairs, unable to hide his worry.

Qin Qianyi paced back and forth at the staircase, occasionally checking the time on his wristwatch, muttering, "It’s been over ten minutes already. Why hasn’t Ann come downstairs?"

Qin Fujia held Buddhist prayer beads in his hands, silently reciting scriptures, his gaze fixed on the upper floor.

A familiar honking sound came from outside, and Qin Haochen, Qin Fujia, and Qin Qianyi all turned their heads in the direction of the sound.

A big white goose confidently ran into the Shao residence, skillfully avoiding the servants’ attempts to stop it.

It sniffed the air, trying to catch the scent of Ann that still lingered.

"Big white goose?!" Qin Qianyi, surprised, hurriedly approached.

"Is it Ann’s big white goose?"

The geese all looked similar, and Qin Qianyi couldn’t tell if it was the big white goose Ann kept.

The big white goose flapped its wings and gasped loudly, "Ga ga!"

Qin Qianyi recognized the familiar actions; it was indeed their Ann’s big white goose.

"Why did you come to the Shao family?" he asked.

"Ga ga!" The big white goose saw that Ann’s family members were all at the staircase but Ann was missing.

It anxiously called out, "Ga ga!

Unfortunately, none of the people present understood what it was honking about.

Qin Haochen furrowed his brows, looked upstairs, then at the big white goose, and asked, "Is Ann in danger?"

The big white goose vigorously nodded its small head, flapping its wings excitedly, causing a few feathers to fall.

Qin Haochen’s expression suddenly changed.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he quickly ran upstairs, taking three steps at a time, at the fastest speed possible.

Just as Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen walked out of the living room, they happened to see Qin Haochen running upstairs.

Shen Shuwen became anxious and shouted, "President Qin, what does this mean? How can you go upstairs without our consent? This is trespassing! It’s illegal!"

Just as she finished speaking, she saw the goose that appeared out of nowhere also running upstairs.

Shen Shuwen continued, "Why do we have a goose in our house? Stop it from going upstairs! What if it defecates everywhere? It’ll be so dirty!"

"Madam, we can’t catch that goose..."

The Shao family’s servants hurriedly stepped forward, their faces showing difficulty.

Shen Shuwen scolded, "Even if you can’t catch it, you must catch it!"

Several servants, helpless, reluctantly ran forward, trying to chase after the big white goose.

Qin Qianyi stepped forward, blocking the servant’s path.

"That is our family’s beloved pet, it is going to find our Ann," he said.

He then turned his gaze towards Shen Shuwen.

"Mrs. Shao, rest assured, it won’t dirty your home."

"You..."

Shen Shuwen’s expression twisted in anger, feeling that the Qin family was nothing more than a corporation of bandits, impossible to communicate with.

Shao Yongkang comfortingly patted her shoulder, then turned to the two brothers of the Qin family.

"You.."

Before he could finish his sentence, a voice came from the entrance: "Fujia, Qianyi, why is it just the two of you here?"

Qin Huo, leaning on a cane and supporting his elderly wife, slowly walked towards the staircase.

Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen were both startled and quickly turned their heads.

"Old Sir, Madam?"

Why had the two elderly members of the Qin family also arrived?!

Qin Fujia and Qin Qianyi immediately went forward, calling out in unison, "Grandfather, grandmother."

Noticing the absence of two people at the staircase, Qin Huo furrowed his brows and asked, "Where is Haochen? Where is Ann? Where have they gone?"

Qin Qianyi, upon encountering his grandparents, restrained his arrogant and domineering nature.

He obediently replied, "Father went upstairs to find Ann.

Ann is in Shao Xinxin’s room."

Lan Jin raised an eyebrow gently.

"Is Ann going to Shao Xinxin’s room to find a little apple?" Upon hearing Lan Jin’s words, Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen’s hearts skipped a beat.

Shen Shuwen quickly stepped forward, forcing a smile and saying, "Oh, I think this is just a misunderstanding. Our Xinxin would never do something like stealing someone else’s belongings."

"Mrs. Shao, I suggest you not speak in absolutes," Qin Qianyi glanced at her and lightly scoffed.

"Otherwise, when our Ann finds a little apple in Shao Xinxin’s room later, you will have no way to retreat."

Shen Shuwen’s eyes turned red.

"Ha! If Ann can find a little apple in Xinxin’s room, I will compensate you ten times on the spot!"

"Just ten times?" Qin Qianyi sneered disdainfully.

Ten times would only amount to a few billion, in his eyes, it was completely inadequate to compensate for the grievances and sadness Ann had suffered!

After contemplating for a moment, Shao Yongkang said, "Indeed, ten times is a bit too little. If it is true that Xinxin stole Ann’s little apple, I am willing to compensate a thousand times!"

Shen Shuwen secretly calculated the price of a diamond little apple, it would be at least one billion, and a thousand times would be a trillion!

That was too much!

Qin Qianyi raised an eyebrow slightly, not giving them a chance to back out.

"All right, I will remember your words."

"However," Shao Yongkang’s expression turned serious, his gaze sweeping over the Qin family.

"If all of this is your slander against our Xinxin..."

Qin Huo lightly tapped his cane and continued his words, "Then our Qin family will also compensate a thousand times!"

Without hesitation, Shen Shuwen agreed, "All right! It’s settled!"

Just as the words fell, she faintly heard a cry for help: "Mummy...Daddy...Save me..."
