Chapter 459 Jiang Ruan is about to go to the Qin Group
"Giving up the CEO position doesn't mean giving up the shares." Qin Muchuan's worries were much greater than before. Ever since the Li family tried everything but failed to reduce Li Chengxuan's sentence, he had some concerns.
Qin Luofeng remained silent.
indeed.
Compared to shares, the president has more say.
Huo Zhizhou can take it back whenever he wants.
"Let's see," Qin Muchuan said calmly. "Anyway, her mission still has about a month to go before it's finished."
Qin Luofeng agreed: "Okay."
The matter was settled, and the two did not discuss it further.
Thinking about what he had heard recently, Qin Muchuan casually asked, "What has your brother been doing lately?"
"It's about the same as usual." Qin Luofeng didn't pay much attention. "What's wrong?"
Qin Muchuan: "Did he go to Jiangcheng?"
"I think so." Qin Luofeng didn't remember much, only that he had heard about him leaving Haicheng for personal reasons more than half a month ago. "What happened?"
"It's nothing," Qin Muchuan said without elaborating.
As of now, he has no idea why Qin Mo went to Jiangcheng. There are no collaborations, no projects, no acquaintances there, and no need to investigate.
Most importantly, he still postponed the work.
Putting aside everything else, Qin Mo has always been conscientious and diligent in his work over the years, never slacking off.
What could make him drop everything and rush over there?
"You suspect that I went to Jiangcheng for a reason?" Even without him saying it, Qin Luofeng could guess something from his few words.
Qin Muchuan: "Yes."
He did not refute it.
Qin Luofeng: "Should we investigate?"
Qin Muchuan looked at him with a hint of surprise: "You know how to investigate?"
He knew that this kid respected Qin Mo. No matter how much they fought, Qin Mo was still his older brother.
But now?
"Just ask him directly." Qin Luofeng was very open-minded. "If it's a work-related matter, he'll tell you directly. If he doesn't, it means it's a personal matter. The only things he cares about are his grandfather and aunt."
"No." Qin Muchuan thought of the student photo in Qin Mo's wallet, "There's one more person."
Qin Luofeng: "Who?"
Qin Muchuan: "The person your brother likes."
Although Qin Mo didn't admit it and acted very calmly, the photos in his wallet were either of relatives or lovers.
Qin Luofeng's eyes showed surprise, and his voice rose a few decibels: "When did this happen?"
Qin Mo has been like an iceberg since he was a child.
Forget about dating, he doesn't even have a single close female friend. The only person he's been in close contact with is Chi Yuan's younger sister, Chi Qian. How could someone like that have someone he likes?
"I don't know." Qin Muchuan was telling the truth.
Qin Luofeng: "?"
Qin Muchuan: "I've only seen the photos."
Qin Luofeng: "What kind?"
"That's it." Qin Muchuan couldn't describe it. He had only seen the photo once and his memory of the face was already a bit blurry. "Your brother has kept it in his wallet for over ten years."
I've changed wallets several times.
But the photos are still there.
It's impossible to have no problems.
"Find some time to investigate and see if he's been involved with any woman recently." This was Qin Muchuan's biggest worry; he absolutely would not allow a woman of unknown origin and with no background to marry into the Qin family.
Qin Luofeng agreed: "Okay."
Qin Muchuan: "How is your grandfather doing lately?"
Qin Luofeng: "It's fine."
"Didn't he mention going back to the old house?" Qin Muchuan asked casually.
"No." Qin Luofeng had already let things take their course. "Judging from his appearance, he will probably stay with Jiang Ruan for a while longer."
Qin Muchuan's hand tightened little by little.
The longer Dad stayed there, the more guilty he felt towards Qin An.
When he is near death, his will will leave a large portion of his estate to Qin An and Jiang Ruan...
Thinking about all this, Qin Muchuan felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.
Old Master Qin could guess these thoughts, but he didn't care. He had spent the first half of his life favoring his two incompetent sons, and he should make up for it with his daughter and granddaughter in the second half.
Moreover...
He is very happy living here.
Even though An'an doesn't talk to him much every day, and their relationship isn't as strong as before, he's content as long as he sees her healthy and well.
Dinner was served quickly.
As each dish was served, the group began to eat.
As always, Jiang An instructed the cook not to put scallions in the dishes that Grandpa Qin liked to eat.
"Ruan Ruan." As the meal was nearing its end, Old Master Qin suddenly spoke up.
Jiang Ruan looked up and said, "Mm."
Jiang An and Li Zhishen, who had been shamelessly lingering there, also looked over.
"Didn't you say you were going to the Qin Group to familiarize yourself with their business when you had dinner with your uncles before? Why haven't you gone yet?" Old Master Qin asked.
"I'll go tomorrow." Jiang Ruan made an appointment with Qin Mo. "I've been too busy lately to make time."
Grandpa Qin: "Good, good, good."
Listening to their conversation, Tang Bai pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it all back.
Jiang Ruan noticed his unusual behavior.
During their walk in the garden after dinner, she asked him, "Is something on your mind?"
"No," Tang Bai said. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Mo Mo: "He does."
Tang Bai: "When will I have it?"
"You became unusually quiet after you answered a phone call before dinner." Mo Mo remembered these things very clearly. "You used to be able to eat three big bowls of food in one meal, but tonight you only ate a little bit of vegetables."
Jiang Ruan looked over.
Although it wasn't as exaggerated as Mo Mo said, Tang Bai was indeed not in a good state that night: "It seems that Gu Sheng was right when he said that you have more things hidden in your heart than hairs on your head."
“She’s just teasing us on purpose,” Tang Bai chimed in. “She’s especially mischievous when she’s not on a mission.”
Jiang Ruan ignored her: "Because of home?"
Because of her identity and profession, the information she had obtained about the two of them before was a mixture of truth and falsehood, but she remembered that Tang Bai had said a few days ago that he was also a person with an identity.
They also said it was a secret.
What could have made his home a secret in his heart?
"I'm really fine." Tang Bai's expression showed no problem. "If something were to happen to me, I'd be clinging to you and begging you to protect me."
Mo Mo: "He's lying."
Tang Bai: "Miss, you're biased. You believe him but not me."
Mo Mo: "I have evidence."
Tang Bai: "???"
The next second.
Mo Mo took out her phone.
He handed the pre-prepared surveillance footage to Jiang Ruan: "Look, this is the process of him answering the phone."
Before the phone call, Tang Bai was relaxed and carefree.
He remained calm as he swiped to answer the call.
But as time went by...
Tang Bai's expression changed from relaxed to serious, and for the next thirty seconds, he didn't say another word except for the initial "Hello, who is this?"
A minute passed.
Tang Bai hung up the phone, his hand holding the phone drooping. His eyes were half-closed, so you couldn't see his expression, but even through the screen, Jiang Ruan could sense that he was in a very bad mood.
