After taking the photo, Xinwan felt rather embarrassed. "I've saved some money over the years. It's all from my father's annual remittance, but it's not this much. Yue, I …"
"Are you trying to say that you want to return it to me?"
Qin Fangang pulled Xinwan and stuffed her into the front passenger seat. He said coldly, "Do you need to be so polite with me? Money is just a worldly possession, isn't it? Actually, I don't agree with what you're doing, but you said that there's no other way now, so I can only help you like this. Also, I've asked Qin Qing for you. She said that Shen Qing does have a preference for these things, but I'm still worried. "
"As long as he really likes them, then it's fine. I've seen a report before and know that his private life isn't very clean. Moreover, you've already verified it, haven't you?"
Xinwan didn't even think about Li Ruoying's problem. She only thought that since Shen Qing had a mistress and had a special interest in such luxurious antiques, then this person couldn't be considered clean. She believed that catering to his interests would work.
However, Qin Fangang was still worried. Xinwan thought about it and finally made a compromise. "Alright then. How about this? I'll think of a way to contact him in the afternoon. You'll be with me. When the time comes, you'll send me over and then wait for me outside. If I have anything, I'll inform you immediately, okay?"
Qin Fangang nodded and made an "okay" gesture when he heard her say this.
…
City C.
Wen Han-woo had just come out of the meeting room when the branch office's assistant rushed over with the phone he had just left outside. "President Wen, it's a call from your top secretary. It seems like something has happened."
He reached out and pinched the space between his brows. Then, he handed the blue folder in his hand to the assistant and pointed at the office door. "Send it in." He took the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"
"President Wen." Chen Fangfei greeted him respectfully and said, "First, I'd like to report to you that everything in the company is normal. Yesterday morning, your youngest aunt, Miss Wen Yuehua, came to the company to look for you. In the afternoon, Miss Wen's fiancé, Seo Dong-jun, also came to the company to look for you. But they came separately. After I told them that you weren't around, they didn't say anything else and left. President Wen, they didn't contact you, right? "
Wen Han-woo frowned. "
Both his youngest aunt and uncle were looking for him?
Chen Fangfei immediately said, "There's one more thing. At 2: 30 this morning, there's an auction in B City. There's a blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty. The final price was sixty million yuan. However, this blue and white porcelain from the Song Dynasty seems to have landed in the hands of your ex-wife, Miss Tong. Of course, the money was given to her by President Wen's love rival, the rich tycoon — Qin Fangang, the young master of the Qin family."
The blue and white porcelain of the Song Dynasty?
And it was Qin Fangang who gave the money?
Wen Han-woo's sharp eyes narrowed slightly. His exquisite features were completely cold.
He stood at the door of the meeting room. Behind him, many senior executives came out of the meeting room. When they passed by him, they saw his gloomy face and all of them stepped back.
The man's slender fingers fiddled with the collar of his shirt. Then, he stuffed them into his trouser pockets and walked towards his office. "What does she want this for?"
No matter which dynasty it was from, this kind of blue and white porcelain was an antique. Its price was definitely not cheap. But what kind of woman was Tong Xinwan?
Even if Wen Han-woo didn't know her well, he was very sure that she wasn't interested in antiques at all. Why would she spend tens of millions to buy a blue and white porcelain?
"President Wen, I'm not too sure about this. But should I help you investigate the specific situation?"
Wen Han-woo's eyes flickered slightly. He quickly said, "No need."
He was just about to hang up when he thought about it and said, "Send someone to follow her. If there's any movement, inform me immediately. My flight is at five in the evening. After I return to City B, ask the driver to pick me up at the airport."
Chen Fangfei resisted the urge to laugh out loud and said, "Yes."
…
Xinwan looked in the mirror and combed her hair. Then, she took a hair tie and tied her long hair up. But today, she was wearing a round-necked shirt. Once her hair was tied up, the ambiguous marks left behind by Wen Han-woo when they were intimate were exposed to the air.
Xinwan's face turned red. She quickly reached out and pulled off the hair tie.
Forget it. Let it be.
She was actually a little nervous. She was afraid that she would be bitten back and that she wouldn't succeed. But when she thought about how Jiang Youyi was still waiting inside, she had no reason to retreat.
Sigh, so be it!
It was better than watching her father go to jail!
Xinwan straightened her collar. She didn't give herself any chance to hesitate. She turned around and hugged the blue and white porcelain box from the Song Dynasty in her arms. When she stepped out of the door, she happened to see Tong Qing Meng coming out of the kitchen.
Her mental state had been deteriorating over the past two days. Xinwan stood on the stairs and saw that her mother, who had always dressed appropriately, had buttoned her sleeves wrong.
She sighed softly and went down. "Mom."
"Wanwan."
Tong Qing Meng saw the big box in her arms. She frowned and asked, "What's this?"
"It's nothing. I bought it online. It's not mine."
She casually said, "I'm going to give it to Youran. Mom, don't worry about Dad. Don't worry. Dad will be fine."
The court hearing was tomorrow. For Tong Qing Meng, the situation was already set in stone. How could she turn back now? Xinwan probably assumed that her daughter was trying to comfort her. She didn't want her to worry too much. In fact, besides worrying about Jiang Youyi, there was another person who also worried her.
"I know, Wanwan. I'm fine. Just take care of yourself."
Tong Qing Meng paused before she probed, "You've been in B City all this time because of Xiao Yu. Are you preparing to take a leave of absence from school in the US?"
Regarding her studies in America, Xin Wan had already informed her tutor. Because she was unwilling to give up, she wasn't someone who liked to give up halfway. After all, she had persevered for so many years. Hence, she only told her tutor that she would be taking a break for a period of time. It couldn't be considered a real break.
But now that Tong Qing Meng asked, she casually replied, "I did ask my tutor for a leave of absence. I plan to go back after I'm done here. If I calculate carefully, I can finish my studies in a little over four months. I don't want to give up halfway."
Tong Qing Meng nodded in agreement. She muttered to herself for a moment before she said, "Wanwan, this is what I think. You've been in the US for six years. It's understandable that you came back because of Xiao Yu. But as you said, it's a pity to give up halfway. So I'm thinking of letting Xiao Yu stay in B City after your father's matter is settled. As for Wen Han-woo, he hasn't said anything about going to court.
Tong Qing Meng rarely cared about Xinwan's studies in the US because she only had one daughter. Back then, Xinwan had resolutely sacrificed her own happiness for Tong Qing Meng and Lin Mei. Then, she went to the US alone.
After so many years, as a mother, she naturally cared more about when her daughter would come back. As for a degree, to her, it made no difference whether she had it or not.
But now, she suddenly brought it up. Xinwan was stunned. "Mom, you want me to go to the US now?"
Tong Qing Meng's eyes flickered for a moment before she nodded firmly. "As for Xiao Yu, I'll help you take care of him. If you can discuss it with Wen Han-woo, you can go to the US after your father's matter is settled."
As for why she wanted her daughter to leave, only Tong Qingmeng herself knew the best.
But when Xinwan heard her mother's words, she automatically understood that if something really happened to her father, as her mother, she probably wanted her to leave and live in the US. She didn't want to get involved in the matters here.
Xinwan weighed the box in her hand. Once again, she felt that the risk she took was worth it. It was for the sake of her family.
"Mom, don't think too much about it. I'll think about going to the US carefully. I'll go out first. Have a good rest at home. If there's a court hearing tomorrow, we'll have to go. Actually, the case hasn't been decided yet, so there's still hope. "
Tong Qing Meng knew that she couldn't rush the matter in the US. Besides, the most important thing now was indeed Jiang Youyi's matter. She nodded and reminded Xinwan to be careful when she went out. Then, she went upstairs.
…
Two hours later, Xinwan arrived at the car park of a five-star hotel. She found a parking space and parked her car. Then, she received a call from Xiao Youran.
"Hey, Youran, I found it. Are you sure it's here?"
Xiao Youran replied, "Of course I'm sure. I asked Xu Kai to help you hack Shen Qing's phone. That guy likes to do risky and exciting things like this. Let me tell you, Shen Qing might be fooling around with that young model of his right now. The room number is 1289. Are you sure you want to go up? "
"Of course. Why else would I be here?"
Xinwan held the blue and white porcelain box in one hand and walked to the elevator. Then, she said, "Youran, I'll treat Xu Kai to a meal after I'm done here. That's all for now."
Xiao Youran was still worried. She muttered a few more words and refused to hang up. Xinwan said, "Qin Fangang is with me. Don't worry. If something really happens, he'll definitely help me."
In the end, she managed to convince Xiao Youran. After hanging up, Xinwan went straight to the 12th floor. As the elevator went up, she sent Qin Fangang a text to tell him her current location.
About five minutes later, she found room 1289. The door was closed and the light beside the door said, "Do not disturb."
