Chapter 69: Chapter 69: When You’re Drowsy, Someone Brings a Pillow

Qin Yi was casually chatting with Liu Zhanyuan and Dong Zhiping.

Suddenly, Zhang Wenhao called.

"Master, there’s something I need to report to you?"

"Speak," Qin Yi said indifferently.

"It’s about Xia Wentao, the Xia Family’s young master. He’s already lost over ten million at my place, but he still wants to borrow more money. He’s been playing for several days now. Do you think we should continue lending him money?"

Qin Yi was slightly startled, then only understood after some thought. Xia Wentao was the child of Xia Yanbing’s second uncle Xia Yuhu, whom Qin Yi had met a few times. This guy did nothing but eat, drink, whore, and gamble.

Two years ago, because Qin Yi unintentionally blocked his way, Xia Wentao slapped him. If not for Xia Yanbing intervening, he might have ended up in the hospital back then.

"Master, it’s not about the money, it’s just that the young master’s condition seems a bit off." Seeing Qin Yi remain silent for a long time, Zhang Wenhao spoke nervously.

Qin Yi said coldly, "How is it off?"

"The young master has only slept a few hours in the past few days, and seems a bit manic," Zhang Wenhao cautiously explained.

Qin Yi sneered, saying, "It’s just a gambler’s mindset, thinking he can win it back. Zhang Wenhao, from now on, give him all the money he wants to borrow until it amounts to a hundred million."

Zhang Wenhao, being a smart person, although he didn’t understand why Qin Yi was doing this, he sensed that Qin Yi disliked Xia Wentao.

"No worries, Master. I promise not to disappoint you."

Qin Yi gave a few more instructions and then hung up the phone.

"Gentlemen, it’s like a pillow being delivered just as you’re about to nap," Qin Yi laughed.

Liu Zhanyuan cautiously asked, "Mr. Qin, what made you so happy?"

"Xia Wentao lost ten million in Zhang Wenhao’s casino. I’ve been pondering how to get a hold of Xia Yuhu’s shares, isn’t this a ready-made opportunity?" Qin Yi laughed.

Liu Zhanyuan and the other two couldn’t help but laugh as well.

"This is truly a case of a son ruining his father, right? This young master Xia has really screwed his dad over," Liu Zhanyuan laughed.

"What do you mean screwing his father over? This is Qin Yi having good luck, even heaven is helping," Dong Zhiping said.

Liu Zhanyuan quickly nodded, "Look at my mouth, really can’t say the right thing."

"For saying the wrong thing, you’ll have to be punished. Contact Zhang Wenhao and set everything up for me perfectly, make it airtight. This time, I want Xia Yuhu and his son to struggle in vain," Qin Yi said.

Liu Zhanyuan, full of excitement, stood up abruptly, "Rest assured Mr. Qin, I promise to satisfy you."

"Why him? I can do it too, and I assure you’d be more satisfied with my work," Dong Zhiping complained.

Liu Zhanyuan, with an urgent expression, said, "Mr. Dong, you’re still young and might lack experience in many things. Next time, I’ll let you."

"Get lost, don’t try to pull rank with me," Dong Zhiping rolled his eyes dramatically.

Qin Yi couldn’t help but smile. Lately, his luck had been almost unrealistically good.

After having lunch with Liu Zhanyuan and the others at the tea house, Qin Yi went straight home. His recent early departures and late returns had drawn Lin Hongzhuang’s attention, making it necessary to be cautious.

When Qin Yi returned to the Xia Family’s place, Lin Hongzhuang wasn’t there. Maybe that silly girl was still wandering around the streets looking for him?

Actually, Qin Yi overestimated Lin Hongzhuang’s patience. She hadn’t found Qin Yi, got angry for a while, and soon went shopping at the mall.

...

In the evening, Xia Yanbing and Lin Hongzhuang came back together.

Moreover, Xia Yujiang, who had been missing for several days, also appeared.

It was clear that Xia Yanbing was in a bad mood.

Qin Yi frowned slightly, who dared to bully his wife, were they tired of living?

During dinner, through Xia Yanbing and Xia Yujiang’s conversation, Qin Yi finally understood why Xia Yanbing was upset.

It turned out that Xia Yanbing had her eyes on a piece of land in the city center, which was currently up for auction. Xia Yanbing advocated acquiring this land.

The Xia Group had reached a bottleneck, usually taking on small renovation projects of old towns passed down from big companies, making little profit after layers of exploitation.

Xia Yanbing advocated for buying the land to develop a residential area, so as not to always follow behind big companies, scraping the bottom of the barrel. The company needed to develop and could not stay stagnant forever. Just the right moment, the Xia Group had stabilized enough to take a bank loan.

However, Xia Yanbing’s proposal was rejected on the spot by her uncles, even Xia Yujiang didn’t agree.

The reason was that the Xia Group had just returned to its track, and buying land to develop real estate would require a large amount of capital. If any issue arose, the Xia Group would go bankrupt in an instant.

On one side, a breakthrough approach. On the other, those advocating stability. The two sides argued all afternoon without convincing each other.

What upset Xia Yanbing was that even her father didn’t support her, which aggrieved her. But she, merely a CEO by appointment, couldn’t outmatch her relatives.

Seeing Xia Yanbing’s aggrieved look, Qin Yi felt heartbroken. Honey, just wait, soon I’ll give you the entire Xia Group.

For the past few years, it was Xia Yanbing taking care of him. In the days to come, he would protect Xia Yanbing.

After dinner, with her spirits low, Xia Yanbing returned to her room early.

Qin Yi originally wanted to go comfort her, but then he was blocked by Lin Hongzhuang, an inconsiderate woman.

"Qin Yi, where did you sneak out to this morning?"

With Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu at the dining table, and Qin Wan’er back in the room, with no one around, Qin Yi didn’t need to pretend to be obedient, and sneered, "What business is it of yours? This is my wife’s home. Do I have to report to you before going out?"

"You..." Lin Hongzhuang’s face turned pale with anger, sneering, "Your wife’s home? You talk so boldly for a freeloader, truly shameless."

"The doctor said I have a stomach issue; I’m naturally suited for freeloading. But you, what is your relationship with this family? Clinging on shamelessly, don’t you have your own home? Why do you keep spying on me like a dog, and even follow me around?"

"How do you know I was following you?" Lin Hongzhuang’s face filled with surprise, then she snapped, "You deliberately shook me off?"

"No duh, who wouldn’t notice a mad dog following them? I purposefully shook you off because I’m afraid of being bitten by a dog and getting rabies. And with your lousy driving skills trying to tail me?" Qin Yi mocked mercilessly.

"You are the dog, your whole family are dogs. Sneaking around to shake me off, you certainly weren’t up to anything good."

Qin Yi sneered, "Idiot."

"You wanna die? Try saying that again?" Lin Hongzhuang clenched her fists.

Qin Yi disdainfully replied, "What, you planning to hit me or trying to seduce me? Too bad, I’m not interested in you."

Recalling the scene from that morning, Lin Hongzhuang’s face flushed red, humiliated and furious, retorting, "You wait, once I change my pants, I’ll knock your teeth out."

"You wait, don’t move. I’ll be back once I change my pants. If you’re a man, don’t run." Lin Hongzhuang turned and stormed upstairs.

Qin Yi was flabbergasted. Was this woman really such a weirdo, actually going to change her pants?

"Only a fool will wait around to be bitten by a dog." Qin Yi wheeled himself back to his room and locked the door.

Actually, once you figured it out, Lin Hongzhuang was just a three-trick pony. She wouldn’t dare to hit hard and was short on insults. Her mockery lacked novelty, and her sole attack method was masking her fear behind heightened emotion.
