Chapter 44: Framing
Shi Xiao’s face immediately broke into a smile. “Then where is he now?”
Qin Yu thought for a moment. “He… went out with Ning Chen. It seems that he has some difficulties, right?”
“What difficulties?”Shi Xiao hurriedly asked.
Qin Yu shook her head. “I didn’t understand what they were saying.”
Shi Xiao looked disappointed and pushed Qin Yu. “Why are you so stupid?”
Qu Li frowned and said to Ah Bi “You go and do your work. The three of us have to speak in private.”
Ah Bi looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu said, “Sis Ah Bi, I want to drink the fruit tea you made.”
Ah Bi then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Qu Li lowered her voice and asked, “You said that Ning Chen gave the bank card to Guan Yue? Did something happen to the Guan family?”
Shi Xiao did not think much of it. “What could happen to the Guan family? They’re fine. Ning Chen probably used the money to curry favor with Guan Yue.”
Qu Li was displeased. “But that’s Qin Yu’s money. It’s our family’s!”
Shi Xiao thought for a moment and asked Qin Yu, “Are you sure that Ning Chen took the one from your dowry?”
Qin Yu nodded.
Shi Xiao smiled and nodded. “Mom, I’ll meet Guan Yue tomorrow to discuss the bank card with him. We’ll see if he has any difficulties. If he does, we’ll have the chance to help him.”
Qin Yu was amazed by Shi Xiao’s shamelessness.
Shi Xiao thought for a moment. “How about this, Qin Yu? I’ll stay here with you for the next few days!”
Qu Li understood her daughter’s meaning and nodded. “That’s good too. This way, you’ll have a chance to see Guan Yue and be alone with him. It’ll save you from having to spend time with all those women outside.”
“That’s right!” Shi Xiao raised her head and sized up the huge living room. She made up her mind. She would stay here and appear in front of Guan Yue as Ning Chen’s sister-in-law, it would be better than being the second daughter of the Shi family outside.
Qin Yu blinked her big eyes as she looked at Shi Xiao, thinking how shameless this woman was.
However, compared to the importance of keeping her bank card, she did not mind selling Guan Yue out. It all depended on whether Guan Yue or Shi Xiao were capable.
In any case, she had already done her part as a friendly reminder.
She also really wanted to see Shi Xiao’s ability to seduce men. Who knows, she might be able to use it on Brother Doctor in future!
Thinking of Brother Doctor, she could not help but think the first kiss that she had lost. She felt dejected and lost interest in Qu Li and her mother’s passionate plan.
“Young Madam, the second young master is here!” A servant came to pass the message.
The second young master? Ning Yu?
Qin Yu was stunned. What was he doing here? Did Ning Chen know?
“Ah! It must be that young master from the secondary branch of the Ning family!”Qu Li said excitedly.
She poked Qin Yu. “Why aren’t you going to greet him?”
‘Greet him? Greet my *ss! What’s there to greet? I’m the eldest young madam of the Ning family, why should I welcome the second young master of the Ning family? This Qu Li is such a bootlicker!’
The moment Ning Yu entered, he saw a middle-aged woman greet him with a flattering smile. “Second Young Master, you’re here? Please take a seat! Please take a seat!”
Ning Yu raised his eyebrows.
‘Who is this woman? When did Ning Chen’s housekeeper change?’
Behind the woman was a rather beautiful woman with a gentle and dignified smile. It looked like this was the woman Ning Chen had married. She looked pretty good. Why did her mother say that she was a fool?
This woman looked into his eyes shyly, appearing very demure. He narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Sister-in-law, right? I’m Ning Yu.”
Shi Xiao blushed and said shyly, “Second Young Master, you’re mistaken. My sister is your sister-in-law. I’m Shi Xiao, your sister-in-law’s sister!”
Qu Li quickly said, “Yes, yes. Second Young Master, this is my daughter, Shi Xiao.”
Ah Yu rushed over. “Second Young Master!”
Seeing Ah Yu, Ning Yu finally confirmed that he had not entered the wrong door.
His gaze passed over Qu Li and her daughter, and he asked Ah Yu, “Is my big brother not home?”
Ah Yu lowered her head and answered, “Eldest Young Master and Young Master Guan went out.”
“Oh, then my sister-in-law is here, right? I wasn’t there on their wedding day. I came specially to meet her today.” Ning Yu’s words were polite.
“Young Madam is here. Second Young Master, please come in.”Ah Yu did not even look at Qu Li and her daughter.
Qu Li only then realized that Qin Yu had been sitting upright on the sofa the whole time and had not moved at all.
On the other hand, she and Shi Xiao had run to the door to welcome them. It was really too demeaning. Second Young Master Ning probably treated the two of them as servants. She could not help but feel hatred in her heart.
This fool Qin Yu. She was simply too dumb to react. Now, she seemed to be more dignified!
