Chapter 207: 200: Moving Next Door to the Strongest Ally (Part 1)

After the police left, about half an hour had passed when Qin Qi hurried back home from the company and summoned Qin Ke to the study. It seemed that an argument had broken out between them, as sounds of things being smashed could be heard from inside.

Qin Qi’s anger was because Qin Ke was asking him for money once again.

“I’ve told you so many times before, there are some things you just don’t touch. This is the third time this month, and you need to learn when to stop.”

Qin Ke sneered coldly, “Me, learn when to stop? When you were using my identity at Junlin, why didn’t you learn to stop then? When you were sleeping with my wife behind my back, why didn’t you stop?”

People outside the family all said that Qin Ke was incompetent and indulged in prostitution and gambling, a total degenerate, and he had even served time in prison for intentional assault causing disability. In contrast, Qin Qi was learned and virtuous. He was praised for his benevolence and righteousness, for not splitting the family assets over the years and often cleaning up the messes left by his younger brother.

The two brothers were identical twins; if Qin Qi had a mole drawn on his face, even their own mother, Old Lady Zhao, would probably not recognize him.

Qin Qi only briefly showed astonishment before habitually touching the Qinan bead bracelet on his wrist, then said without changing his expression, “The incident at Junlin was an accident; there’s nothing between me and Wenhua.”

With the conversation having reached this point, Qin Ke wasn’t afraid to tell it like it is, “Nothing at all, then how did Xiao Nai come about?”

“Xiao Nai is your daughter.”

“Xiao Nai is allergic to mangoes, just like you.”

Qin Qi’s face turned cold and he was clearly displeased, “You’re making wild accusations based on just that?”

Unflustered and unabashed, this ability to blatantly lie was so astonishing that even a brother born from the same womb, Qin Ke, found it shocking. The last time Qin Nai had an allergic reaction, Liu Wenhua had quickly found the allergy medicine, and that’s when the seeds of suspicion had been planted.

“Now I understand you, deceiving me by saying you have no sons or daughters, claiming that everything in the family would belong to Xiao Nai, to me as well. I thought you cared for Xiao Nai as if she were your own.” Qin Ke was furious, veins bulging on his neck, “Turns out she really is your own.”

Having held a high position for many years, Qin Qi had long cultivated the habit of maintaining an impassive demeanor, “That’s not the case; if you suspect anything, go get a paternity test done.”

“You think I’m an idiot? We’re identical twins; there’s nothing to test,” retorted Qin Ke, his frustration amplified by the lack of a way to prove it, “Even if Xiao Nai isn’t your seed, there’s still another one living upstairs, isn’t there?”

“She’s just temporarily staying at our house. We’ve lived together for so many years; we are the real family. In the future—”

Qin Ke, who was already irritable and short-tempered, interrupted him angrily, “Don’t talk to me about the future; I only care about the present. And don’t talk to me about feelings. What’s that word again… PUA, right, that’s it. Don’t think you can PUA me again; I’m not falling for those pie-in-the-sky promises anymore; you just make sure the money is sent.”

He desperately needed money now; without money, he couldn’t buy goods, and without the goods, he would feel worse than death, so it would be better if they all died together.

He was ready to risk it all, “I know all about your dirty laundry. I even served time for you. All I need to do is leak one or two things, and not only will your CEO spot be gone, but you won’t be able to keep your current position either. Brother,” he lowered his voice, flashed a wry smile, utterly shameless, “I can only have peace if you have peace.”

Qin Ke had recently made some friends in society and gotten involved with things he shouldn’t have.

The two brothers “talked” in the study for quite a while. Downstairs, a visitor arrived, though not quite a guest.

Upon seeing the person, Old Lady Zhao instinctively became terrified and stammered, “Why, why have you come?”

He Dongzhou entered with a suitcase in hand.

“I’m coming back to stay for a few days.”

The look on Old Lady Zhao’s face was nothing short of horror, “You’re going to stay here?”

He Dongzhou smiled like a filial son, “Don’t you welcome me?”

Old Lady Zhao’s mouth twitched involuntarily, “…How could I not.”

Ever since He Dongzhou grew to be taller than Old Lady Zhao, she had been afraid of him and dared not hit him anymore. Once, when Qin Ke was “teaching” him, He Dongzhou slipped and fell down the stairs, nearly killing himself.

Old Lady Zhao always thought He Dongzhou was bad news and that if he really got angry, he might even be capable of killing. She had never seen him kill a person, but she had seen him kill a chicken. He had wrung the neck of one of her chickens with one hand, claiming it wasn’t on purpose.

He moved out of the Qin Family home after becoming independent. Previously, he would still show up during the holidays to keep up appearances, but he hadn’t even pretended for the past few years. Now, suddenly wanting to move back in, who wasn’t he trying to scare to death?

He smiled, revealing a dimple, “A friend of mine lost his grandmother recently. She was there one moment and gone the next. My friend advised me to spend more time with the elderly at home, saying that people of age might just go to sleep and not wake up.”

Old Lady Zhao thought to herself, “…” This bad seed is hoping for my death.

Seeing He Dongzhou at the dinner table that evening surprised Wen Changling. No one else at the table was talking except for He Dongzhou.

“So you’re the new sister,” he said, waving his hand, his face well-proportioned. He sat in an informal posture, yet his demeanor was graceful and relaxed. When he smiled, there was a sense of a warlord’s son from a time of chaos, “Hello, sister.”

Sister Wen: “Hello.”

The table was very quiet.

Qin Qi and Qin Ke were absent, and it was noticeable that Old Lady Zhao was very afraid of He Dongzhou, as was Qin Nai, the little tyrant.

After dinner, Wen Changling went back to her room. It wasn’t long before someone knocked on her door.

She opened it.

He Dongzhou stood at the doorstep: “I’m staying next door to you.”

Wen Changling didn’t understand his intentions.

“You know that?”

“What?”

“Your ex-boyfriend sent me here.” He Dongzhou wore an annoyed expression when mentioning Wen Changling’s ex-boyfriend.

Xie Shang did not feel easy about Wen Changling staying alone at the Qin Family’s place and had given He Dongzhou a heads-up. Little Scar had not been in good spirits a few days ago, causing He Dongzhou to arrive a bit late.

He Dongzhou thought Xie Shang was just worrying for nothing, as Wen Changling was no delicate flower but rather a man-eater.

She replied: “Now I know.”

Having relayed the message, He Dongzhou turned and went back to his own room.

With He Dongzhou staying at the Qin Family’s house, Wen Changling felt much more at ease, after all, they were allies. Yes, allies. She had encountered He Dongzhou on her third day after moving to the Qin Family’s home.

She was initially going downstairs when he, ascending, blocked her on the steps.

With arms crossed, he got straight to the point, confident enough that he wasn’t afraid of eavesdroppers: “Shall we collaborate?”

“Collaborate on what?”

“I know what you want to do, we have the same goal, want to do it together?”

Wen Changling didn’t understand He Dongzhou very well. Her only connection to him was through Xie Shang.

She had a reason to be suspicious, “Is it because of Xie Shang? Did he ask you to help me?”

“It’s not.”

Then what was it for?

She waited for him to continue.

“I am an adopted child brought in by the Qin Family as a guarantee, and it’s the Qin Family’s bad luck that out of all possibilities, they chose me. Unfortunately for them, I turned out to be a bad seed by nature.”

Wen Changling knew what an adopted child brought in as a guarantee was, and she had also investigated the relationship between He Dongzhou and the Qin Family. She did not agree with his claim of being a bad seed by nature. It wasn’t difficult to deduce from the Qin Family’s attitude towards He Dongzhou what kind of life he had lead there.

He Dongzhou asked again, “So, do you want to collaborate?” He waited for an answer with crossed arms as if he knew Wen Changling would definitely agree.

If it was someone else, Wen Changling would have been cautious and guarded. But a friend of Xie Shang, she trusted unconditionally.

“Alright.”
