252: Chapter 252: Qin Jianren and his wife plan to head to Shanghai; Zhang Yu's arrest warrant is issued!

Afterward, the group chatted about some matters regarding the finance company, and time slipped by unknowingly.

The hustle and bustle in the kitchen also came to an end. After Xu Qian and Qin Xiaoyue put the last few bowls and plates back in their places, they walked back to the living room together.

Wang Tengfei and Xin Mingyuan stood up to take their leave, as they still had to go back to process the recruitment emails.

After seeing the two of them off, Qin Yi's family chatted about domestic matters for a while longer.

“Mom, Dad, tomorrow is Saturday. Do you have any plans?” Qin Yi asked casually while refilling his father Qin Jianye's teacup.

Qin Jianye picked up the teacup, took a small sip, set it down, and said with a smile, “Your mother and I have discussed it; we're planning to visit your youngest aunt's house. She’s off this Saturday, and your Youngest Uncle is back from his business trip, so it's a good time to get together.”

“Oh, that's quite nice. However, I’m afraid I won't be able to accompany you tomorrow,” Qin Yi said with a hint of regret.

“Yes, we know you're busy. You young people go ahead with your work; don't worry about us old folks,” Wu Xiuhua responded with a smile.

“Then you should drive that cullinan over tomorrow; it'll be more convenient,” Qin Yi suggested.

“Oh, no need,” Qin Jianye waved his hand and continued, “With the traffic in Modu, driving is actually a hassle. Besides, parking isn't convenient near your aunt's place either. We'll just take a taxi.”

After hearing this, although Qin Yi nodded in agreement on the surface, he began to calculate in his mind. It seemed he really should hire a driver. Additionally, the house was lacking a nanny to take care of the two elders. Otherwise, they would still have to do the dishes and housework themselves in the future.

Thinking of this, he looked up at his parents and said, “Dad, Mom, I think we can hire a few servants for our home. They can cook and tidy up the house daily, so you won't have to work so hard. Also, we’ll hire a driver who can also act as a bodyguard, so I'll feel more at ease when you want to go out.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiuhua's eyes immediately lit up. She seemed to remember something and said hurriedly, “Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. Auntie Liu called me yesterday saying she wanted to come out to work and asked if I could introduce her to anyone suitable.”

“Isn't Auntie Liu looking after her grandson? Why does she want to come out to work again?” Qin Yi asked curiously.

“Sigh, from what she said, it sounds like her relationship with her daughter-in-law isn't great. They're always arguing, so she just doesn't want to stay there anymore and wants to come out for some peace and quiet.” Wu Xiuhua gave a helpless smile, while her gaze shifted toward Xu Qian.

Xu Qian felt a bit embarrassed being watched by Wu Xiuhua, thinking silently to herself: It seems her future mother-in-law is using these words to hint at her... But she didn't know what to say, so she could only pretend she hadn't heard and whispered with Qin Xiaoyue about company matters.

“Well, we know Auntie Liu well. Why don't we let her come to Modu? We'll double her salary and provide room and board,” Qin Yi suggested with a smile.

“Oh, that would be wonderful. I'll call her back later and ask,” Wu Xiuhua said happily.

As the few of them chatted, time unknowingly reached nine o'clock.

Qin Yi took Xu Qian's hand, the two of them shared a smile, and they got up to go downstairs. Qin Xiaoyue also silently returned to her room. In the living room, Qin Jianye and Wu Xiuhua continued watching TV, their faces brimming with happy smiles.

...

In the bedroom, Qin Xiaoyue lay flat on her bed, her eyes fixed on her phone screen, her fingers constantly swiping through short videos. Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID; it was her mother, Su Fangfang, calling.

Qin Xiaoyue frowned slightly and answered the phone with some impatience. However, before she could even speak, Su Fangfang's voice came crashing through: “You wretched girl, it's been so many days and you haven't even thought to call home. Do you still have us parents in your heart?”

Qin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and said helplessly, “Oh, I've just been busy. I'm running around for my brother's business every day; how would I have time to call you two? Just be a little understanding and stop nagging all the time.”

“What are you doing every day that makes you so busy?” Su Fangfang pressed on, dissatisfied.

“What else? Working for Qin Yi,” Qin Xiaoyue replied crossly, turning over to lie on her stomach and switching the phone to her other hand.

“Qin Yi started a company? Since when? Why didn't you tell us?” Su Fangfang's tone revealed a hint of surprise and curiosity.

Qin Xiaoyue curled her lip and said, “You wouldn't understand even if I told you. It was just successfully registered a couple of days ago and hasn't officially opened yet. We're currently in the middle of intense recruitment. I'm busy enough to make my head spin, so don't add to my trouble.”

“Is that so? Then when is the opening planned?” Su Fangfang seemed very interested in this matter and continued to press for information. At the same time, she shot a look at Qin Jianren, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa leisurely sipping tea.

Qin Jianren immediately set down his teacup and leaned in to eavesdrop.

“How would I know?” Qin Xiaoyue was getting a bit impatient. “I'm not the boss; I'm just an employee.”

“Eh~ You're Qin Yi's sister; how can you just be an employee?” Su Fangfang said dissatisfiedly. “Qin Yi should at least arrange for you to be a manager, right? You can't just let him bully you like that.”

“Alright, alright,” Qin Xiaoyue interrupted her mother. “Do you two have anything else? If not, I'm hanging up. I'm still busy. I have to go to Modu University tomorrow for a special recruitment fair and need to prepare some Materials. I don't have time to chat with you.”

“Oh, oh, okay.” Seeing that her daughter was indeed busy, Su Fangfang didn't say much more. “Well, once the opening date is set, you must tell us. We have to be there to congratulate him.”

“Don't~” Qin Xiaoyue hurriedly refused. “You two should handle your relationship with my eldest uncle and aunt first. I'm afraid if you come, you'll just get the cold shoulder, and you'll be the ones embarrassed in the end.”

“You child,” Su Fangfang muttered dissatisfiedly. “You're with them every day; don't you know how to say a few good words for your parents?”

“I'm not doing that,” Qin Xiaoyue firmly refused. “Handle your own affairs. Don't always think about taking advantage of me.” She paused and added, “By the way, when we were chatting just now, my eldest uncle said they're going to visit my youngest aunt's house tomorrow. You should seize the opportunity.”

On the other end of the phone, Qin Jianren and Su Fangfang exchanged looks, secretly rejoicing. Qin Jianren immediately asked, “Is Qin Yi going too?”

“My brother isn't going,” Qin Xiaoyue replied. “He's going with Sister Qianqian to pick up his future 'brother-in-law,' and then he has to be busy with the special recruitment fair at Modu University. He's very busy.”

“That's great,” Su Fangfang blurted out, her tone revealing an irrepressible joy. Realizing her slip of the tongue, she quickly added, “Well, I won't talk to you anymore. Go on with your work; don't let me delay your business.” After saying that, she hurriedly hung up before Qin Xiaoyue could respond.

In Jingnan, at Qin Jianren's home, Su Fangfang looked at her husband with excitement and said, “Old Qin, don't just stand there! Hurry up and buy the tickets; we're going to Modu first thing tomorrow morning to find Jian Ge!”

Qin Jianren was slightly stunned, spread his hands, and asked in return, “But, but we haven't prepared anything. We can't exactly go empty-handed, can we?”

“We'll buy things after we get there!” Su Fangfang said urgently. “Stop dawdling and hurry up and book the tickets.”

“Oh, okay, okay, okay...” Qin Jianren nodded, immediately took out his phone, opened the booking app, and began the process.

...

At that moment, various TV stations began broadcasting a Class-A wanted notice. The photo and personal information displayed on the screen were none other than Zhang Yu's...

Currently, inside a suite at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Zhang Yu had been sitting cross-legged, leisurely savoring the red wine in his hand with a triumphant smile on his face. However, when his gaze swept across the television screen, his face instantly turned ashen, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

He stood up abruptly and smashed the wine glass in his hand fiercely onto the floor, glass shards flying everywhere.

Just as he was burning with rage, his phone suddenly rang. The screen was blank, with no caller ID displayed.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his emotions, and then answered the phone. From the other end came a deep and steady male voice; it was Boss Lei.

“A-Yu, the operation is suspended!” Boss Lei's voice was solemn.

Zhang Yu furrowed his brows and said through gritted teeth, “Boss Lei, that bastard Chen Mo betrayed us!”

Boss Lei was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “I know. I just received news that Chen Mo's family has been rescued by the Dragon Kingdom's side. Presumably, Chen Mo has already confessed.”

“Damn it!” Zhang Yu slammed his fist hard against the table. “That traitor Chen Mo, I will definitely not let him go!” As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow Chen Mo alive.

“Enough!” Boss Lei shouted sternly. “The matter is already exposed; whether Chen Mo dies or not doesn't mean much anymore. Keep a low profile for a while and don't go around causing trouble.”

Hearing this, although Zhang Yu was unwilling, he could only nod helplessly. “Yes, I understand.”

Boss Lei asked again, “How is things on Hong Ying's side?”

“According to your instructions, I've already arranged for her to leave. She should be on the cargo ship by now.”

“Hmm, well done,” Boss Lei said approvingly.

“But, Boss Lei, Chen Mo betrayed us. What about the plans after this?”

“That is unclear for now. Chen Mo doesn't know much, and I don't know if he has given up Zhao Lintai. Let's wait and see. We'll see how the Dragon Kingdom reacts first!”

“Yes, I understand!” The call ended, and Zhang Yu clenched his fists, muttering through gritted teeth, “Damn it, Chen Mo! Just wait until I kill you!”
