Chapter 22: The Snarky and Venomous Second Brother Qin

 Chapter 22: The Snarky and Venomous Second Brother Qin

Qin Ruan was on her way home, driving at a fast pace in her latest model light pink Maserati.

Even before the car arrived, the exaggerated sound of the exhaust reached the ears of the people in the villa hall.

A young man wearing a gray casual sports shirt walked down from the second floor of the hall. He had a face that was six-point similar to Qin Ruan's, but with more handsome and cold features.

The young man standing on the second floor had a deep and handsome profile, with thin lips slightly pursed and a sardonic look all over his body.

He stopped in his tracks, looking up to the door.

The familiar and exaggerated sound of the exhaust outside belonged to only one person, Qin Ruan, a member of the Qin family who had just obtained her driver's license. Her father gave her the latest model of the car, a light pink Maserati that every girl would love.

It had been half a month since he last saw his sister. Qin Mei's lips slowly hooked up at the thought, his eyes revealing joy and anticipation.

He hurriedly went downstairs, his whole body feeling light and carefree.

"A Mei, you came down just in time. I was about to call you up for dinner," Han Xian said with a smile, her eyes gentle and warm towards Qin Mei.

Qin Mei's smile quickly faded as he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the woman in front of him with displeasure.

Before his sister came back, he still had basic politeness towards this woman. Qin Ruan had no sense of belonging to this family and was very distant from everyone in the house. This made it difficult for the three of them, father and sons, to handle the situation. They thought that with Han Xian there, perhaps she could play a role in easing the situation. But recently, they found out that it was not the case.

After Qin Ruan was brought back to the Qin family, Han Xian, this woman, always seemed to be using some underhanded means to deal with her.

He and his father and elder brother only discovered this phenomenon recently, and with the busy affairs of the company, they had not had time to deal with it.

As Han Xian felt the slightly annoyed gaze from Qin Mei, her smile nearly faltered.

Her lips twitched slightly as she asked softly, "What's wrong, Ah Mei? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qin Mei clicked his tongue, his voice lazy and insolent. "Han Xian, how many times do I have to tell you not to call me Ah Mei? People who don't know us might think you're calling a little girl."

He raised his arm, his fingers gently tousling the hair in front of his eyes in a move that was both handsome and rogue.

Since he had just taken a bath, Qin Mei's hair was still slightly damp.

As he made the gesture, small droplets of water flicked onto Hanyi's face.

But she didn't seem to notice, her smile becoming even warmer and her eyes forming crescent moons, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes becoming even deeper.

Han Xian voice was soft and affectionate, with a hint of deliberate intimacy. "It's just that I've gotten used to it, Ah Mei. I've been calling you that since you were shorter than me, and after all these years, it's hard to get used to calling you something else."

Qin Mei's gaze was deep and mysterious, fixed on Han Xian's face with an impatient expression.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and a malicious smirk appeared on his lips.

Frowning slightly, he looked Han Xian up and down, his handsome face showing concern for her.

However, the words that came out of his mouth were anything but courteous. "As people get older, they tend to forget things. Han Xian, you're not exactly young anymore, so take good care of yourself."

Han Xian's face twisted in an instant, her eyes filling with anger. She almost reached out to scratch Qin Mei's handsome face.

For so many years, Han Xian had spent a lot of money on cosmetic treatments and maintenance, flying abroad several times a year just to take care of her face.

You have to understand that now, when she's out and about, people who don't know her can't guess her age.

In the world of high-society wives, her face was the youngest-looking among her peers.
