Chapter 38 - 38 38 Unusual Master Jing_1

?Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Unusual Master Jing_1 Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Unusual Master Jing_1 The evening breeze was slightly cool, but the nightlife scene in Beijing remained bustling.

Quan Yifei initially intended to go straight home after accompanying Jian Qing to the car dealership. But on his way, he received a call from Lin Yun saying there was an issue with a contract that needed to be rechecked, so he had to detour back to the office. By the time he arrived home, it was already past dinner time.

Although the Quan family members were usually busy, they all lived in the old mansion, with the exception of Quan Jingwu. Unless there was an important matter, everyone else would return to the mansion to stay.

In the living room, the Quan family was having tea and talking when they heard Quan Yifei humming a tune out of tune from afar.

The elderly Mrs. Quan put down her teacup, looked towards the door, and laughed, “Is she so happy that she’s struck the lottery?”

“Who knows? This girl never has a quiet moment.” Quan Mingxuan sarcastically said.

No sooner had he spoken than Quan Yifei appeared at the door.

“Second Brother, are you talking bad about me again?” Quan Yifei hummed, walked to Quan Mingxuan’s side and tossed the bag directly into his arms.

With fast reflexes, Quan Mingxuan caught the bag and weighed it. He rolled his eyes at Quan Yifei, clearly annoyed.

Thanks to his quick reflexes, or he would have ended up with internal injuries.

“Third Brother, what are you doing here?” Quan Yifei turned her head and got a jolt of surprise when she caught Quan Jingwu in her peripheral vision.

Not only was Quan Yifei surprised, everyone else in the room shared the same sentiment. It was harder than climbing to heaven to get Jingwu to join them for a meal.

When Quan Jingwu showed up at the old mansion before dinner, it left everyone dumbfounded.

Quan Jingwu’s frosty gaze swept over her. “Do I have any problem being here?”

His icy tone held a hint of danger, prompting Quan Yifei to quickly shake her head and wave her hands, “No problem, no problem. Third Brother, you can stay wherever you want. Definitely no problem at all.”

“By the way, Feifei, why did you come back so late? Did you work overtime?” The elderly Mrs. Quan asked.

“No, I took half a day off this afternoon.” Quan Yifei shook her head, stealthily stealing a glance at Quan Jingwu.

“Then why did you come back so late?” The elderly Mrs. Quan asked again.

Quan Yifei gave a mischievous smile, “Because I was with Jian Qing at Second Brother’s car dealership.”

A light bulb went off in Quan Mingxuan’s mind. He shot Quan Jingwu a meaningful look. Now he understood why the usually reclusive Jingwu had voluntarily come home.

“Jian Qing?” Hearing this name, the Elderly Mrs Quan felt a sense of familiarity, like she’d heard it somewhere before.

“Are you two close?” The matriarch of the Quan family asked, looking surprised.

“Wait a second, you all are making me dizzy. Who exactly is Jian Qing?” The elderly Mrs. Quan interrupted.

A few days ago, the elderly Mrs. Quan had gone on a trip with a friend and just returned the day before yesterday. Naturally, she wasn’t up to date with the recent happenings in Beijing. She was completely clueless about the incident that Quan Yifei had been fussing about at the Qianshi Restaurant.

Quan Yifei moved over to sit next to the elder, taking her hand and enthusiastically narrating the story about Jian Qing. Of course, she didn’t forget to share how Quan Jingwu had peeled shrimp for Jian Qing.

“Is that true?” The elderly Mrs. Quan turned her head to look at Quan Jingwu in disbelief.

Seeing a woman peel shrimp? Was this some kind of joke>
Not denying anything, Quan Jingwu’s deep purple gaze remained serene.

His non-denial left the elderly Mrs. Quan dumbfounded at first, then it made her happy. This is good news. Finally, she doesn’t have to worry about Jingwu being a bachelor anymore.

“Feifei, why didn’t you bring her over for dinner? I’ve never met her before,” the elderly Mrs. Quan was eager to meet Jian Qing in person after hearing Quan Yifei’s descriptions about her.

Quan Yifei was at a loss for words, then looked at Quan Jingwu and said, “Third Brother, Jian Qing has moved to the An Family mansion.”

She didn’t understand. Why would Jian Qing, who had shown a clear disdain for the An Family, moved into their mansion?

“What?” Quan Mingxuan was taken aback, “Is that true?”

Quan Yifei nodded, “Jian Qing confirmed it herself.” Although she also found it hard to believe when she first heard the news.

A fleeting shadow crossed Quan Jingwu’s profound purple eyes. The image of the smiling woman vividly imprinted in his mind.

“That girl doesn’t seem to be simple. The fact she returned to the An Family is probably out of consideration for An Yi.” The family head stroked his white beard, thoughtfully saying, “Her return to the An Family will likely disrupt their peace.”

Quan Mingxuan caught onto a previously overlooked detail, and asked slowly, “Feifei, weren’t you busy preparing for the jewelry launch recently? How did you find the time to meet up with Jian Qing?”

Quan Yifei winked mischievously in Quan Jingwu’s direction and briefly explained what had happened. Upon hearing her story, Quan Mingxuan and the others cast strange glances at Quan Jingwu as if they had uncovered some scandalous secret.

“It appears that Jian Qing is indeed not simple, she even knows Xiya.” Quan Mingxuan remarked.

And from what Feifei was saying, it seemed that Jianqing and Xiya were very good friends.

“To have Xiya personally praise Jing Qing’s photography skills as no less than hers, just how deep has Jian Qing been hiding?” Quan Yimo added.

Quan Yifei looked at Quan Jingwu with gleaming eyes, cautiously asking, “Third Brother, I heard from Shen Hao that you’ve left the decision of choosing the models for this jewelry shoot to Jian Qing?”

“Mmm.” Quan Jingwu briefly raised his chin, giving a short affirmation.

“Third Brother, it seems like the models for this shoot include the sisters An Yu and Yang Lin.” Quan Yifei proceeded cautiously.

No wonder Jian Qing had agreed to cooperate, it turned out that Jingwu had offered such terms. An Yu and her group had caused Jian Qing trouble on more than one occasion. If Jian Qing was annoyed at them, she could use this opportunity to make them look bad.

Everyone present was far from being thick, and after a few seconds of stupor, they quickly understood the underlying meaning in Quan Yifei’s words and turned to look at Quan Jingwu.

“Jingwu, are you starting to dote on your future wife?” Quan Mingxuan threw out this bombshell, teasing him playfully.

Quan Jingwu remained silent, neither admitting nor denying.

The elderly Mrs. Quan’s curiosity about Jian Qing had only deepened, “Feifei, find an opportunity to invite Jian Qing to our house for dinner, let Grandma meet her.”

“Well, I’ll do my best.” Quan Yifei scratched her head, replying somewhat unsurely.
