Chapter 388

Yao Qing tilted her head, feigning an innocent look.

The time has finally come; all the preparations he made for this day have been worthwhile.

The young master is finally going to make contact with Wu Xingsheng. Perhaps even Wu Xingsheng himself didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

This is all thanks to him; the young master and master should thank him properly.

"You can't fool my eyes. The master sent you here to monitor the young master."

"This matter is enough to alarm the entire Wu family. I don't believe you won't report it to the master."

Yao Shi grabbed Yao Qing's collar with one hand and spoke with a gloomy expression.

Since Yao Qing came to the young master's side, a series of bizarre events have occurred.

Although she couldn't find any clues, Yao Qing was definitely involved in those events.

Why don't you go and ask the master yourself?

Yao Qing raised her hands in a gesture of surrender with a smile, and somehow managed to put a pickup slip number in her mouth.

Master, he's back...

Here's another draft.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Qiao Xinying's Apology

Luo Lan was flipping through recipes, thinking about what kind of lunch she should prepare for her young lady.

Now that we're back in China, it's only natural that we should eat Chinese food.

Okay, it's decided then. Today, I'll cook a few of the dishes that Miss is good at.

Although it's not exactly a fancy dish, it tastes quite good.

"Miss will probably be back soon. We need to prepare all the ingredients before then."

Luo Lan closed the recipe book in her hand and stood up. The pink cat apron tied in front of her gave people a strong sense of incongruity.

It's as bizarre as a muscular, bearded man suddenly wearing a pink Lolita dress and trying to act cute by making heart gestures at you.

"Let's start with the spicy fish head."

Luo Lan glanced at the fresh fish already prepared on the cutting board and smiled faintly.

He pushed up his glasses, flexed his wrists, and stretched.

Bang!

Just as Luo Lan was about to walk towards the kitchen, a loud bang suddenly rang out at the door.

With a face so dark it seemed to drip ink, Qiao Xinying slammed the door behind her and walked into the living room.

The black aura surrounding me was almost materializing as it spread outwards.

When Roland, who was standing in the living room, saw Qiao Xinying in this state, he suddenly shivered.

What happened to the young lady after she went out? This was the first time he had ever seen her so out of sorts.

"Miss? You're back so quickly..."

Luo Lan looked at Qiao Xinying, whose face was full of displeasure, and tentatively asked her.

Miss came back way too early, and her emotional state is also very strange.

She seemed perfectly normal when she went out, but after going out, she became even more...

"I have never seen such a shameless person. He is even worse than Wu Liang."

"I really misjudged him. I actually thought he was a good man at first."

Qiao Xinying walked to the sofa in a few steps and plopped down on it.

She rarely gets angry with people, and she would never get angry with strangers.

She has always kept her mother's teachings in mind: to remain calm and composed at all times and not to be too impetuous.

Only those who can hide their true emotions and not easily show them on their faces can be considered successful.

She has indeed succeeded over the years; she is very good at hiding her happiness, anger, dissatisfaction, and other emotions in front of outsiders.

However, just now, her good manners were completely ruined by that young man.

"What happened? Miss, why are you so angry?"

After wiping her hands, Luo Lan slowly walked to Qiao Xinying's side and asked her with a puzzled look.

This guy is really something, he actually managed to make the young lady so angry.

"I just ran into a student from the Huihuangxing Academy in the park."

"So I talked to him to find out about my mother's lifestyle at the college and her status and image in the eyes of the students."

"But that guy deliberately smeared my mother's image, saying that she was a lazy, good-for-nothing otaku who only knew how to sleep all day at the academy."

Qiao Xinying clenched her fists unnaturally, and the other person's handsome but extremely punchable face reappeared in her mind's eye once again.

Her mother holds a supreme and extremely important place in her heart. She absolutely will not allow anyone to maliciously slander her mother, nor will she allow anyone to speak ill of her mother behind her back.

That's why she couldn't help but explode with anger when her mother was mentioned earlier.

"Ah... Miss... you mean Madam's life at the academy...?"

Luo Lan scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and he even began to hesitate and stutter when he spoke.

"Do you have a clue?"

Qiao Xinying frowned when she saw Luo Lan suddenly acting so strangely.

The other party clearly knows something and has something to say, so why are they acting so conflicted here?

"Miss, do you remember I told you before that I had done a survey at the academy?"

Luo Lan awkwardly took two steps back, creating some distance between herself and Qiao Xinying.

No wonder Miss was so angry; it turns out she heard the students from the Huihuangxing Academy speaking ill of Madam...

"So, Mr. Lan, you've figured out how your mother has been living these past few years, right?"

Seeing Luo Lan's face grow increasingly pale and stiff, a bad premonition rose from the depths of Qiao Xinying's heart.

No way... it can't be... could it be that what that young man she met before said was all...?

"Miss, I think it's understandable that Madam would turn out that way."

"After all, Miss, there was no one to keep Madam company after you left, so it's normal for her to be a bit depressed and withdrawn."

Luo Lan awkwardly looked away, unable to describe his wife's current living situation.

He was even a little relieved that someone had informed the young lady of the lady's information before he could.

At least this way the young lady won't have to hold a grudge against him anymore; it's just a pity for that student from the Huihuangxing Academy.

If he has the chance to meet the other party again, he will definitely apologize to them properly.

"Mr. Lan, what you're saying... is that everything that young man I just met said is true...?"

The anger on Qiao Xinying's face had completely vanished by this moment.

Instead, they were met with expressions of deep shock and disbelief.

Are you kidding me...? My mom, who's always been a perfect goddess in my eyes... has now degenerated into a shut-in who just eats and sleeps all day long...?

"Ahem... Although I hate to admit it... what they said is indeed the truth..."

Luo Lan coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.

The student from the Huihuangxing Academy was probably also completely baffled.

In today's world, even telling the truth can get you disliked; the other person must feel very wronged.

"In other words, I misunderstood that student..."

"He wasn't trying to smear my mother; he was just stating the facts to me."

Qiao Xinying slapped her forehead, making a crisp sound. Oh no, she had acted too impulsively.

This is truly a misunderstanding... No matter how much she thought about it... she never imagined her mother would turn out like this...

"Yes, miss, you've misunderstood them."

Luo Lan, barely suppressing a laugh, said with a trembling shoulder, "So even Miss has her day of being humiliated..."

"Is that so...?"

Qiao Xinying murmured softly, pressing her throbbing temples.

She tends to act impulsively whenever her mother's side of the family is mentioned.

The young man had kindly explained the facts to me, and I actually got angry with him...

"I owe him a sincere apology, but before that we must see my mother first."

Qiao Xinying opened her eyes and said seriously, it seemed she had to meet with her mother.

Here's another draft. Which one do you think is better, this one or the last one? (I personally think this one is better.)

Please don't complain about the slow updates, considering how often I've been commissioned to write articles. I've already tried my best, sob sob.

(I cried, I cried 5555 ┭┮┭┮)

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wu Xingsheng Arrives

Airport Exit

The middle-aged man in the white T-shirt glanced at his watch, his furrowed brows revealing his displeasure.

The middle-aged man glanced at the travelers around him who were leaving with their suitcases, scratched his head, and sighed helplessly.

As if he had already anticipated this outcome, the man leaned against the pillar beside him and waited patiently.

Actually, he had been waiting here for quite a long time. If he had known he would have to wait this long, he should have left earlier.

"Sir/Madam? Are you in some kind of trouble? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

While the man was still resting with his eyes closed, a fragrant breeze wafted in front of him, pulling him back to his senses.

The man looked up at the woman in front of him; her tight-fitting flight attendant uniform perfectly accentuated the curves of her high breasts.

Her beautiful legs, encased in slightly snagged stockings, were straight and long, the white flesh on her thighs dazzlingly white in the sunlight.

The man pushed up his sunglasses. He recognized the flight attendant in front of him; they had chatted briefly on the plane earlier.

"No, I'm just waiting for someone here."

"And even if I encounter trouble, I don't need to trouble you to help me. Aren't there plenty of service personnel on the ground?"

"You must be very tired after flying all day. You should get some rest."

The middle-aged man took out a brand-new, pure white handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to the flight attendant in front of him.

He pointed to the grime on the suitcase behind the other person and smiled faintly.

The man leaned out and waved to a group of flight attendants who were peeking from a corner behind them.

"Hmm... so you were just waiting for someone... I... I misunderstood!! I'm sorry!!!"

"I'm sorry! I've disturbed you, I'll leave right away!!!"

The pretty flight attendant spoke with a flushed face, her voice slightly stammering due to nervousness.
