Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Come for a Meal on Time Every Day

Qin Yi is a very patient person, a noble quality he developed during these years of being disabled.

Moreover, Qin Yi is someone who keeps his promises.

He really waited from morning till night, even enjoying a delicious lunch at the Lan Family at noon.

He intended to be a person of integrity, but how could a mortal body withstand hunger?

It got dark, and the stars came out.

Qin Yi shed tears, as Lan Jiaojiao and Lan Wangxu still hadn’t shown up.

Qin Yi stared at Uncle Chen, his gaze growing more dangerous.

Uncle Chen felt as if sitting on pins and needles, breaking out in cold sweat.

"Take me home!" Qin Yi surrendered, seeing the situation, it was certain Lan Jiaojiao wasn’t going to show up.

Uncle Chen was relieved, quickly preparing a car to take Qin Yi home.

"I’ll be back tomorrow, tell Lan Jiaojiao not to hide."

Not far from the Xia Family villa, Qin Yi said to Uncle Chen harshly. Then he wheeled himself home.

Back home, Xia Yanbing and others were all there.

Seeing Qin Yi come in, Dong Jinsu just shot him a look of disgust. It would be better if Qin Yi died outside, she wasn’t worried at all about him coming back.

"Why was your phone turned off?" Xia Yanbing frowned her eyebrows slightly.

"Uh..." Qin Yi awkwardly laughed, "It ran out of battery."

Xia Yanbing didn’t say much more?

Lin Hongzhuang’s eyes twinkled, Qin Yi was about to make a quick exit but had no time as he heard her tease, "Was it Miss Lan inviting you again?"

"Uh, ah!" Qin Yi nodded.

"Helping you with a check-up?"

What’s it to you, Qin Yi thought. But he still acknowledged with a hum.

"Have you eaten?"

Qin Yi was surprised, this woman couldn’t possibly be concerned about him, there must be a follow-up, he needed to be cautious, and he nodded slightly with a hum.

"Are you providing voiceovers for porn? All ’uh uh ah ah’." Lin Hongzhuang said discontentedly.

"..." Qin Yi was at a loss, talking with this woman required being ready to jump off at any moment, or else who knows when she’d go off-course.

Xia Yanbing’s cheeks flushed red, helplessly looked at Lin Hongzhuang, "Linlin, you..."

Lin Hongzhuang stuck her tongue out, "Bingbing, I think something’s off with this guy and Miss Lan. Who helps someone with a check-up every day? Definitely something fishy."

"Don’t talk nonsense, Miss Lan is helping Qin Yi out of goodwill."

"But you can’t check up every day and provide meals too. They say to capture a man’s heart, you need to capture his stomach first. I even suspect Miss Lan is cooking for him herself."

Xia Yanbing was speechless, truly spinning tales, knowing her best friend was just trying to stir trouble for Qin Yi.

"Wheelchair man, tell me if you’ve done anything to wrong Bingbing?"

Qin Yi ground his teeth secretly, can’t you come up with a better excuse for picking a fight?

"Have you ever seen a man cheat because the mistress cooks well?"

Lin Hongzhuang’s eyes widened, for a moment she didn’t know how to counter?

Xia Yanbing was surprised looking at Qin Yi, it was the first time she’d heard Qin Yi retaliate, and with a deadly blow that left Lin Hongzhuang speechless.

Qin Yi felt a twinge of remorse internally, realizing he might have reacted too strongly.

"I’m heading back to my room!"

Qin Yi hurriedly wheeled himself away.

"Bingbing, now you believe me? When he acts honest, it’s all a façade, actually sharp-tongued, he gets me so angry every argument that my stomach hurts."

From his room, Qin Yi faintly heard Lin Hongzhuang speaking, and couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, turns out Lin Hongzhuang did it on purpose.

Was this woman actually plotting against him?

Also didn’t know if Xia Yanbing believed it?

Qin Yi felt somewhat nervous.

Actually, Xia Yanbing hadn’t thought much of it, what could a single retaliatory word prove?

...

Qin Yi is a man who keeps his promises.

The next day, he went to the Lan Family again, waiting all day. But still, no one came.

The third day he went too.

On the fifth day.

On the sixth day, Qin Yi felt embarrassed to go, he overheard the Lan Family’s servants say he came every day to bum a meal.

Damn, being treated like a beggar, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was too embarrassed to go again.

But the calls to Lan Jiaojiao never stopped, dozens a day.

Yet each time it was a voice message, saying she was on a flight abroad, leave a message if needed.

Damn... are you heading to Mars? It’s been five days of flying.

That day, while Qin Yi was brooding, he suddenly received a call from Liu Zhanyuan.

"Mr. Qin, President Xia is in trouble."

Qin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Spill it, what’s going on?"

"President Xia acquired that piece of land, construction has already begun, but these past two days, some punks have frequently been causing trouble, even injuring a few workers."

"Mr. Qin, I’m really sorry, I only learned about this today."

Liu Zhanyuan said anxiously.

Qin Yi did not blame Liu Zhanyuan, he had his own company to manage and couldn’t keep an eye on Xia Yanbing’s matters at all times. Moreover, Xia Yanbing never mentioned it at home.

"Do you know who they are?" Qin Yi asked.

"Just a bunch of punks, led by someone known as Brother Hei, who owns a couple of small bars and keeps a gang of thugs, nothing noteworthy. His bar is near President Xia’s land, complaining that her construction is affecting their business, but actually, it’s just an excuse to extort money."

"Alright, got it!" Qin Yi replied indifferently.

Liu Zhanyuan hurriedly promised, "Mr. Qin, don’t worry, I’ll go handle it right away!"

"No need, let Zhang Wenhao take care of this."

"Mr. Qin, you may not know, but Zhang Wenhao’s influence is north of Yinfeng City. President Xia’s land is on the south, which is Jin Family’s territory; if Zhang Wenhao intervenes, it might trigger major conflict."

"What’s the situation with the Jin Family?" Qin Yi asked.

"The Jin Family’s head is Jin Wenchang, nicknamed Golden Leopard, with a background similar to Zhang Wenhao’s. Although he’s cleaned up now, he still controls the underground forces in the south of Yinfeng City secretly."

"Alright, I got it! I have a plan for this."

Ending the call, Qin Yi dialed Zhang Wenhao’s number.

Zhang Wenhao was still asleep; this guy’s schedule differed from normal people.

Upon receiving Qin Yi’s call, he was so happy that he jumped out of bed immediately and dashed out.

Downstairs, Zhang Hao was just there.

The Zhang Family had many servants and bodyguards, all of them were dumbfounded watching Zhang Wenhao dash down from the second floor like an old monkey.

"Where’s the second one?" Zhang Wenhao asked excitedly.

Zhang Hao looked utterly confused, "At this hour, the second brother is probably still asleep."

"Sleep my ass, go wake him up, big opportunity, hurry up." Zhang Wenhao shouted excitedly.

Seeing Zhang Hao still standing there perplexed, Zhang Wenhao frowned, "Go on, why are you just standing there?"

"Uh..." Zhang Hao hesitated for a long time, then cautiously spoke, "Dad, couldn’t we at least wear some clothes before announcing great news?"

Zhang Wenhao was stunned, looked down, and then his old face turned crimson red, he was too excited and forgot he was just in his underwear, no wonder everyone’s looks were so strange.

"Damn you, why didn’t you say sooner?" Zhang Wenhao cursed, urgently running back upstairs.

Zhang Hao blinked, muttering, "That’s your wife, you can go ahead!"
