Chapter 5448: Chapter 5448 Suddenly
Qin Xiu could see through people, which put Old Master Qin’s mind at ease.
When it was time to sleep at night, Old Master Qin discussed the matter with his wife. After a long, long time, the Old Madam said, "Our grandson has set his heart on someone too outstanding, so outstanding that it would be difficult for him to find another good girl."
"Sometimes I watch Dingkang’s wife scouting for girls everywhere. I don’t get involved and let her be, isn’t it because I also want to see if Dingkang’s wife can find a girl more outstanding than the one in our grandson’s heart?"
"Now it seems I was wrong, and you were the clearheaded one. Whether the girl is outstanding or not doesn’t really matter, what matters is that our grandson must like her, and the girl must also like our grandson."
"When there’s mutual affection and shared aspirations, their life together will undoubtedly be fulfilling."
Old Master Qin, who had been lying down, felt something was off after hearing this, "No, that’s not right, my dear. You’re hiding something from me. Qin Xiu has someone in his heart, and you know who."
"I don’t know. Why do you have so many questions at night? Get some rest. Tomorrow Ying will bring her boyfriend over, and you can take a good look then. Although the young man has honestly admitted that his relationship with his family isn’t great because of his military service, you should ask him in detail whether there are other issues besides this one."
"The young man’s honesty is true, but we can’t just take it at face value and not ask about his family’s situation. The whole family are teachers; why would a son raised by them have a poor relationship with the family? I’m afraid there might be other issues at play here."
Old Madam Qin immediately changed the subject, and Old Master Qin knew his wife’s temperament too well; she wouldn’t speak even if the higher-ups came to ask, her lips sealed tighter than a clamshell. In the past, she would have been someone who faced death without yielding, a martyr of honor.
Without further questions, Old Master Qin lay thinking for a while, not realizing when he had fallen asleep.
Around two in the morning, Ye Jian, who had been sound asleep, suddenly was roused by the sound of an ambulance siren whizzing past her ears before it stopped and continued to wail incessantly. Ye Jian’s eyes snapped open, and without even slipping on her shoes, she ran barefoot to the window and pushed it open.
Without the window’s soundproofing, the ambulance’s siren was even clearer.
The sound was coming from the Qin residence.
Old Man Xia, who was a light sleeper, woke up too. The soundproofing in Dan Gui Garden villas was usually quite good, but at this still hour of night everything was so quiet, and the two homes were close, so it naturally reached his ears as well.
Ye Jian quickly got dressed and ran downstairs, just in time to see Old Man Xia also getting up. The guard sleeping in the downstairs guest room and Uncle Fu were also on their feet.
"Girl, go check out what happened at the Qin house. An ambulance coming in the middle of the night must mean someone in their family has had an accident," Old Man Xia said as he saw Ye Jian dressed appropriately and immediately instructed, "You go help out, tonight only Xiu is staying at their house."
Ye Jian nodded. "Alright, you stay inside. I’ll go take a look right now."
Ye Jian would have gone to check even without Old Man Xia’s instructions. With her and Chief Engineer Fu often absent from home over the years, they were grateful to the Qin family for their care. Now that something might have happened there, she felt it was only right for her to go and help.
Old Man Xia wanted a guard to accompany her, but Ye Jian refused, "No need, you have to be taken care of too. I’m quick, and I’ll call you once I’m there."
Old Man Xia had some knowledge of what Ye Jian did for a living, so he let her go alone, and then sat waiting in the living room.
In less than five minutes, the living room’s landline rang, and the guard answered immediately, hearing Ye Jian’s voice on the line.
