Chapter 5427: Chapter 5427 Facing
Indeed, the siblings had the same taste in choosing people, both picking partners from the Special Forces.
It’s just that the brother wasn’t very lucky; the girl he fancied had a boyfriend, and not just any boyfriend, but a formidable rival like Little Six from the Xia family. Even if he had the intention of poaching, he stood no chance of winning.
That’s not right.
The Xia family doesn’t live around here, and the Old Master and Old Madam of the Xia family have always resided in the Xia family’s old residence. So where was Little Six taking his girlfriend to?
Where they were going, V8 had no idea; he only knew that ever since he got on the car to the mountains, his heart had been pounding nonstop, never quiet for a moment.
Where exactly is he being taken?
With an uncertain heart, yet vaguely knowing something, V8 refrained from asking or confirming; he was afraid of asking...afraid of deserting.
After listening to her daughter’s introduction, Mrs. Qin looked at the officer who seemed like a foreign friend. It was only because of her good upbringing that Mrs. Qin didn’t ask if V8 was a foreigner.
The girlfriend had done all that was expected of her, and now it was time to see how V8, who was led into the home, would be perceived by the Qin family elders.
On the battlefield, V8 faced life and death calmly but, in front of the Qin family elders, he was sweating from his head, hands, and even the soles of his feet.
He really wanted to remain composed, but...but he just couldn’t manage it. The kind old master who was sitting on the couch and asking him questions was...was the same figure he had seen in his middle school textbooks!
V8, who honestly confessed everything about his background, felt as if he was facing a formidable foe. No, that’s not right! He had never been nervous facing an enemy, but now he truly was!
V8’s honesty endeared him to Old Master Qin and the Old Madam. His family background could be set aside; what mattered most was his good character.
Besides, the young man was tall and handsome with a robust, masculine air, and held the rank of lieutenant colonel. Except for being a bit dark-skinned, he really had no flaws!
He didn’t smoke, didn’t drink, didn’t gamble, hadn’t dated before, and came from a clean family background. How could he be lacking? Not at all! He really wasn’t lacking in anything.
Old Madam Qin truly thought her granddaughter had better taste than her daughter-in-law!
Qin Ying watched the man she fancied facing the Qin family elders’ warm inquiries on his own, and covertly signaled Qin Xiu to step outside and have a few words.
"Do you know what the girl you like does for a living?" Qin Ying asked as soon as they were outside. "Do you know anything at all? Do you just think she’s pretty and like her?"
Men, first and foremost, look at whether a woman is beautiful or not. Even if Qin Xiu is her brother, he’s still a man, afflicted with the universal weakness all men have by nature.
Women also like handsome men; it’s a universal human flaw, really.
Qin Xiu, with a slight furrow in his brow, didn’t answer the question but instead asked, "Did you see her just now? Did you notice her when you met your boyfriend?"
Well...that’s getting straight to the point.
Qin Ying glared at him. "Don’t try to show off your intelligence in front of your sister. Wait, that’s not right." She paused, giving Qin Xiu a thorough once-over before continuing, "So, you’ve known her identity all along?"
Both siblings were clever, and not answering was an answer in itself.
"I need to step out for a bit." Qin Xiu suddenly got to his feet. His sister had indeed seen Ye Jian just before. Ye Jian had returned to Dan Gui Garden, and she went back to the Fu family.
Taking a step forward, his strides grew larger and more hurried, as he saw two long legs take two of Qin Ying’s steps at a time, heading out onto the snow-covered path.
