Chapter 335: Chapter 335 Shameless Qin Jia and Qin Fang (3)

Before this incident occurred, Xiao Shulan had always fantasized that despite Qin Fang’s extravagant ways, because he was sweet-talking and filial, he would surely be able to inherit half of the family’s wealth if he stayed on Qin Dingshan’s good side. However, after the incident, seeing Qin Dingshan’s attitude, a sense of foreboding crept into Xiao Shulan’s heart.

With these thoughts, Xiao Shulan no longer had the heart to persuade Qin Jia. She turned and left, and in her preoccupation, she even forgot to close the bedroom door properly.

From the moment Xiao Shulan came in to the time she left, Qin Jia, who was soaking in the bathtub, seemed not to have seen her at all. She was utterly still, just like a lifeless porcelain doll.

At that time, a pair of man’s large hands slowly pushed open the bedroom door. Then, a pair of black handmade leather shoes appeared on the carpet.

"Click!"

A faint sound was heard as the door was locked from the inside with several turns of the lock.

A shadow lingered in the room for a while, glanced at the messy bed, and then quietly made its way toward the bathroom.

...

In the corridor

"Have you seen the young master?" Xiao Shulan stopped a passing servant and asked. Qin Fang was just there, how could he have disappeared in just a short time?

"Second Madam," the servant bowed respectfully, "I saw the Second Young Master pass by Miss Qin’s door earlier, and then he was gone."

Xiao Shulan frowned. This son of hers was simply too much of a headache. Waving her hand, she dismissed the servant, and then gently twisted the doorknob of Qin Jia’s bedroom door.

Huh? Locked again?

Really, not a single one is worry-free! Xiao Shulan stamped her foot in frustration and turned to leave.

Inside the bedroom, it was in complete disarray.

...

It had been three days since the conclusion of the Xuandu Jade Stone Conference. An Yiqing might not know everything that happened within the Qin and Guh families, but she could roughly guess the thoughts of the two ’Old Foxes’, Guh Tian and Qin Dingshan. To put herself in a more advantageous position, An Yiqing ordered Bai Wuchang to collect all information about the Qin and Guh families, as knowing both the enemy and oneself is crucial for success in any battle.

In recent days, Gu Yelin had been very busy, not with official business, but with the plot of land beside the An Family Mansion.

Long before, he had begun acquiring the property. Then he started designing it himself, insisting that every corner of the house be perfect for his darling’s comfort and pleasure. Once satisfied there were no problems, Gu Yelin began to look for construction workers.

Master Gu’s design for the villa was naturally extraordinary. The building materials were unique, and the layout of the house was carefully considered. When a renowned architectural expert saw Gu Yelin’s design plans, he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration at the talent displayed.

If not for Gu Yelin’s special status, the expert would probably have insisted on taking him as an apprentice.

All these activities of Gu Yelin were observed by the An Family. Kong Shi and Old Lady An were absolutely delighted. A man who personally sees to every detail, striving for perfection, and whose every decision had to be approved by An Yiqing—with any disapproval leading to immediate corrections—this level of consideration greatly pleased the women of the An Family, especially Kong Shi, who treated Gu Yelin even better than her own sons An Zhihang and An Zhiyan.

It was different for the father fixated An Zisheng, who, seeing the constant construction outside his house, felt as if he was watching his beloved daughter being taken away from him.

"Really! Such construction is disturbing the rest!" An Zisheng stood on the balcony of his second-floor bedroom, looking down at the construction site, grumbling with dissatisfaction.

This remark was overheard by Kong Shi who had just come in. She rolled her eyes, walked over to An Zisheng, and said, "Disturbing rest? The workers begin at nine in the morning and stop at eleven noon. They resume at two in the afternoon and finish at five in the evening. Even that disturbs your rest? Don’t nitpick! In order not to disturb everyone and to finish as soon as possible, Xiao Gu has hired three times the normal number of workers, and each one is a top expert in their craft. I heard the wages are frighteningly high. With such a good man for your precious daughter, you should be content!"
