Chapter 267: Ling Zeheng, the Younger Uncle of the Ling Family, Comes to Apologize

Chapter 267: Ling Zeheng, the Younger Uncle of the Ling Family, Comes to Apologize Qin Ruan shook her head and refused, "No need, my second brother also needs to go to school." Qin J tone was full of disdain, "He's just lazing around. When was the last time you saw him behaving well in school?" Qin Ruan couldn't argue with this statement. Qin Mei often skipped classes and went out to have fun, but he still managed to excel in his studies. "Let's talk about it when the child is older. I'll go upstairs and check on Dad first." Taking a break from school was not something Qin Ruan had considered. As for going back to the Qin family's home, it would probably be inconvenient. If possible, she would like to stay in the school dormitory and not even go back to the Huo family's home. Collecting resentment to prolong her life was her top priority now. "Go ahead," Qin Jingcen didn't want to force her. Her relationship with her family had finally eased up, and he didn't want this seemingly unstable relationship to break again. By the time Qin Mei returned, Qin Ruan had already been upstairs for a while. Upstairs, Qin Anguo was sleeping in his room. The sound of Qin Ruan walking in did not disturb him in the slightest. The curtains in the room were drawn, and the room was dark. The light outside the window was shining through the thick curtains. Qin Ruan walked to the bedside and gazed at her father with warm eyes. She knew her father's health was a problem, and he needed to rest and have regular check-ups in the future. Using her heavenly eyes to explore his fate would be of no use because they were closely related by blood, and Qin Ruan could not see her father's life span. She sat by the bed and reached out to touch the white hair at the corner of his forehead. After only one year back in the Qin family, she felt like her father had aged even more. She had heard that a father's love is often not as straightforward as a mother's love. A father's love always lies deep in his heart, while a mother mostly focuses on the day-to-day details of eating, dressing, and keeping warm. And fathers are different. Fatherly love is deep and silent, like silent sunlight, warming the hearts of their children. Unfortunately, Qin Ruan couldn't compare the two. Because she had never experienced a mother's love. She faintly sensed her father's love. Qin Anguo's love for her was silent. This love carried tolerance and silent comfort for her. Qin Anguo was like a small mountain, with a towering body that brought a special sense of security. He was like a river or a sea, broad, generous, and selfless. Fathers are like guideposts, illuminating the path ahead and silently guiding their children's life journey. Qin Ruan's eyes were sour, with a hint of wetness in the corners. If she were reborn to the year she returned to the Qin family, she would never let him exhaust himself like this. She thought it was a good decision for the Qin family, but she fell into the design of a villain, secretly provoking their father-daughter relationship. Wiping away the tears in the corners of her eyes, Qin Ruan sorted out her emotions and leaned forward to kiss Qin Anguo on the forehead lightly. This kiss carried guilt towards Qin Anguo and a fondness for being his daughter. Sensing that her phone, which had been charged in the car, was now vibrating from being turned on, Qin Ruan got up and left the room with light footsteps, carefully closing the door behind her. She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Lu Wenbin. Qin Ruan answered the call and turned around, walking towards her bedroom. "Hello, Uncle Lu?" Lu Wenbin's tone couldn't hide his surprise: "Miss Qin, I have something to tell you." "Is it about the recent murders?" "Yes! Miss Qin, your skills are really accurate." Qin Ruan felt helpless. It was actually Qiao Nanyuan who told her about this in the morning, not that she figured it out herself. People really thought she was a diviner. Qin Ruan pushed open the door to her bedroom and laughed out loud: "Uncle Qiao told me this morning. Judging by your tone, I'm sure it has to do with the case." "Yes, indeed. The Criminal Investigation Bureau contacted me and learned that the perpetrator of the heinous crimes was caught. I provided evidence, and a bonus of 800,000 yuan was issued from above!" "800,000 yuan?" Qin Ruan's voice was somewhat surprised. This seems a bit too little. Lu Wenbin heard her surprise in her words and explained with a smile, "This is the most generous offer from higher-ups in recent years. I think it's more related to the activity of Director Lu from the Criminal Investigation Bureau." "Lu Han?" "Yes, him." Qin Ruan smiled knowingly. "What evidence did Uncle Lu provide to the Criminal Investigation Bureau?" "It's the entire process of what we did last night. This is a secret communication, and all participants signed a confidentiality agreement. They will never reveal your identity." "I told them that the person who acted this time was related to the Yuxing faction, and it was a woman. I didn't tell them your true identity." Then Lu Wenbin added, "They asked why you acted, and I said that you have a kind heart, are warm-hearted, and like to help others." Qin Ruan laughed, not even believing what he said. "I intervened in this murder case mainly because one of the victims was someone I knew." "I know. I just didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Miss Qin, so I casually dealt with it." "Mm." Qin Ruan responded. "Miss Qin, when did I transfer the money from the last commission to you for resolving Xiao Yunchen's matter, and the money sent down from above this time?" "I only need the commission from Xiao Yingdi's business. As for the bonus sent down from above, please exchange it for cash, Uncle Lu. I'll use it later." "Okay, send me the card number later." "No problem." They talked a bit more and then ended the call. Qin Ruan sent the new card number she obtained during her free time to Lu Wenbin's phone. After sending the number, she went to the bathroom to wash away the sweat from her busy day. ... Huo Residence. Huo Yunjiao sat on a lounge chair in the courtyard, enjoying the afternoon sunbath leisurely. He crossed his hands over his lower abdomen, closed his eyes to rest, and his long, slightly curled eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his eyelids. The household servant came to report, ''Third Young Master, a guest has arrived.'' ''Who?'' A cold and hoarse voice emanated from his sexy thin lips. "Someone from a prestigious family, the youngest son of the Ling family, Ling Zeheng,'' the servant replied respectfully. Ling Zeheng, from one of the six major aristocratic families, the Ling family, was already vaguely in charge of the family's affairs. He was also one of the Ling family's youngest members with the most potential to enter the center of power in recent years, and was highly regarded by the higher-ups. "What does he want?'' The Hou Yunjiao reclined in his chair, his posture slightly loose, and his lips curved with a faint smile, but his tone was cold and compelling. The servant replied, ''He came to apologize.'' The Hou Yunjiao opened his eyes, and a flicker of danger flashed in them. Ling Zeheng had visited to apologize just a few hours after the Ling family's daughter had almost caused Qin Ruan to fall and get hurt at noon today. It seemed that Ling Xiaoxuan, who was friendly with Ruan Ruan, was not a thoughtless person. If it were any other day, the Hou Yunjiao would not have seen Ling Zeheng, nor would he have been in the mood. Even if there was a need to see him for a necessary reason, he would have handed it over to someone else in the Huo family. The Hou Yunjiao thin lips curled up, and his tone was casual, revealing a sense of indifference: ''Bring him in.'' For Ruan Ruan's sake, he also wanted to see Ling Zeheng. End of chapter.
