Chapter 1957 - 131: Yixuan, Are You Comforting Me?
Dong Huiying’s eyes darted around, suddenly she smiled like a sly little fox.
"Yixuan, are you comforting me?"
Yixuan chuckled softly, "Of course."
Her brows and eyes curved even more, looking quite happy.
"Let’s go, let’s take a walk!"
Yixuan turned his head, gazing at her bright and lively smile, his gaze lingered for a moment on her soft pink lips.
He suddenly recalled earlier, when his second brother’s lips were swollen, a shadow seemed to pass through his eyes, and a faint hint of jealousy seeped from the depths of his heart.
...
By the time Dong Huiying and Yixuan returned, Li Luo had already left.
Before Li Luo left, she left a letter, mentioning a matter that reminded Dong Huiying to stay safe and be wary of reprisals from Yan Xiyu’s side.
Yan Xiyu was destined to be sidelined and was naturally not a threat, but Li Luo’s warning wasn’t referring to Yan Xiyu, but rather to a man.
Dong Huiying furrowed her brow.
"Previously, Yan Xiyu was eager to break off the engagement. I heard it was because she had someone else in mind, and the letter Li Luo left me..."
The letter mentioned that the person Yan Xiyu admired had the surname Yi, and that this affection was one-sided.
In other words, Yan Xiyu had her eyes on that Young Master Yi, but Young Master Yi did not reciprocate Yan Xiyu’s feelings.
But even if Young Master Yi didn’t like Yan Xiyu, Yan Xiyu had once helped Young Master Yi, so Li Luo advised Dong Huiying to be cautious.
Because, according to Li Luo, that Young Master Yi was quite mysterious, and being cautious would be prudent.
Dong Huiying pondered for a moment, "It seems I owe her a favor."
She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, financial debts are easy to repay, but favors are hard to return.
Afterward, Dong Huiying went next door, found Hong Fei, and asked Hong Fei to send someone to Li Luo’s side.
Just like that, another two days passed.
The relationship between Yixuan and Shu Yu was still not very harmonious, and Dong Huiying couldn’t understand what kind of disagreement the two were having. She had tried mediating, but they brushed her off.
In the end, she felt unburdened, thinking to let them sort it out themselves, let them fuss over it, after all, the two brothers wouldn’t really fall out.
Finally, the day arrived.
After several consecutive days of gloomy weather, it finally cleared up. Yixuan’s plans against the Qin family had been fully laid out, and the time had finally come to close the net.
...
In Dongcui City, the atmosphere was insular, and the people liked to stick together.
It was well known that the old lady of the Qin family never married in her life. She had no children or grandchildren.
In her youth, Old Lady Qin was a typical workaholic, dedicating herself to her career, expanding the Qin family’s business.
Back then, some people made cynical remarks.
"What’s the use of all that effort? In the end, won’t it just benefit outsiders."
As the saying goes, "The words are harsh, but there’s truth in them." Even within the Qin family, it was long agreed upon. In the past decades, no matter how much Old Lady Qin had tried, or how much wealth she created, once Old Lady Qin passed away, this wealth was bound to fall into the hands of others.
And among them, the most hopeful was the Second Elder of the Qin family.
The Second Elder was Old Lady Qin’s younger sister.
In her youth, she was also quite capable, but her brilliance was overshadowed by Old Lady Qin.
She lived her life in comparison, always ending up as the defeated one under Old Lady Qin’s hand. But the Second Elder was quite persistent, relentlessly chasing Old Lady Qin’s footsteps, dreaming of one day stepping over Old Lady Qin.
