Villainous Sick Beauty Chapter 42

Bonus chapter 2/3

---

“Hey, do you still need to ask? Of course he’s worried about you.” Cao Yuxuan blurted out.

After being educated by his friends at the birthday party yesterday and hearing Ye Rongxu’s declaration that he “never liked Qin Jingxu,”  he already believed that Ye Rongxu and Qin Chaoyan were a real couple.

Besides, he asked Qin Chaoyan to help him send an apology gift last night, and it worked. Today, Qin Chaoyan brought Yao Bin’s photo to check the surveillance. Isn’t this for Ye Rongxu’s safety consideration?

Cao Yuxuan thought so in his heart and said so.

Ye Rongxu’s face turned slightly red upon hearing this, full of abashment.

“What nonsense are you talking about…” He denied subconsciously but was interrupted by Cao Yuxuan before he finished speaking.

“Hey, this isn’t important. The problem is… guess who we saw on the surveillance?” Cao Yuxuan covered his phone and lowered his voice.

Ye Rongxu frowned slightly, and before he could make a guess, he heard the other end of the phone say—

“It’s Yao Bin, damn, why do you think he’s here? Could it be a coincidence? But it’s too coincidental. But if it’s not a coincidence, how did he know you would come? Alas, Rongxu, I feel that this is all my fault. I shouldn’t have invited you. No, I shouldn’t have said it in the group chat after I invited you. You said if I… eh, hello hello? Why did you hang up?”

Cao Yuxuan put down the phone with a depressed look on his face, and then he became annoyed.

If Yao Bin really came to Qinyuan after knowing the news, he almost put Ye Rongxu in danger yesterday. In any case, he should find a way to apologize to Ye Rongxu again.
*
At Ye’s house, after Ye Rongxu hung up the phone, he looked thoughtful.

Yesterday he panicked when he learned that Yao Bin had been released from prison. But perhaps already knowing the news, he didn’t feel much when being told that the other party had been to Qinyuan.

In any case, he’s at home now, and even if Yao Bin wants to take revenge, he can’t really do anything to him.

Besides, is it Yao Bin’s turn to take revenge? In his dream, he lived well for four years before being avenged by Qin Chaoyan.

He didn’t know if this method of self-consolation worked, but he was indeed a little relieved. However, what surprised him was Qin Chaoyan’s behavior.

The other party actually went to Qinyuan to check the surveillance; was it… for him?

Ye Rongxu grabbed a handful of feed and threw it into the fish tank, watching the two koi fighting for food while his thoughts went off-track.

Not long after, Qin Chaoyan arrived at Ye’s house, and then Ye Boxuan also came back.

Ye Boxuan looked solemn. He walked into the living room almost at the same time as Qin Chaoyan. Before he sat down, he frowned and asked: “Are you sure Yao Bin appeared in Qinyuan yesterday?”

Qin Chaoyan, dressed in a suit, nodded solemnly: “I just don’t know if it’s a coincidence. In addition…”

He told him which people knew beforehand that Ye Rongxu would go to Qinyuan, including Qin Jingxu.

He wouldn’t say who he suspected, but Ye Boxuan would definitely have some thoughts.

Sure enough, Ye Boxuan’s face wasn’t very good after hearing it. He raised his hand and told Chen Jiang, who came in with him: “Old Chen, go to Qinyuan to adjust the surveillance. I have said hello to Old Cao.”

Old Cao is Cao Yuxuan’s father.

Chen Jiang nodded and left quickly.

Ye Boxuan stood in the living room with a grave expression.

For someone like him who has been working in the business world for many years and always thinks three steps ahead about everything, of course he wouldn’t rashly conclude this matter as a coincidence.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and called Qin Qijiang.

After half a minute, his tone sank slightly. “Are you saying that Qin Jingxu has left the country?”

*
In Country E, Qin Jingxu saw the message on his mobile phone; his eyes sank, and after turning off the screen, he said to the driver: “Turn to Kerry Manor.”

The low-key luxury sedan traveled in the boulevard for a long time, and finally stopped outside an ancient manor.

After getting out of the car, Qin Jingxu hurriedly walked into the manor. Under the guidance of the butler, he arrived at the study.

After knocking on the door, he couldn’t wait to push it open as soon as the word “enter” came inside, saying anxiously: “Uncle, did Yao Bin appear in Qinyuan yesterday? You told me to ask Xiao Xu out before I left, saying that someone wanted to see him. Could that person be him? Did you arrange for him to go?”

The person in the room sat behind a desk with his hands folded on his abdomen, leaning back slightly. Half of his face hidden in the shadow and the other half exposed to the light, handsome but sinister.

He touched the silver ring on his thumb and slowly said: “Are you questioning me?”

The voice was neither light nor heavy, with a chill.

Qin Jingxu felt a chill on his spine for no reason. His expression was slightly stiff, and his voice was unconsciously tense: “No, no, I mean… I’m a little curious as to why you do this? Also, what if Yao kidnaps Xiao Xu again… Uncle Ye will definitely find out.”

The person behind the desk sneered and said, “What are you worried about? It’s just to scare the kid. Didn’t you say that he dumped you, and his father also supported him to break up the engagement with you? I helped get revenge. Are you not happy?”

Qin Jingxu was a little hesitant and spoke carefully: “Actually… the key to the problem isn’t the Ye family, but Qin Chaoyan. As long as Qin Chaoyan is resolved or his reputation is ruined, Ye Rongxu will still be mine, and the Ye family’s marriage partner will still be me. Everything can go back to the way it was before.”

Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but look at the person in the study and say with hope, “Uncle…”

In the final analysis, he still couldn’t bear to give up the engagement and the identity of the Ye family’s future son-in-law. The next generation of the Ye family only has Ye Rongxu, and Ye Rongxu is a sickly person, so it’s impossible for him to take over the company. As long as he can marry the other party, the whole Ye family will be his in the future.

What’s more, Ye Rongxu was so good-looking. He wasn’t blind or aesthetically abnormal; how could he not like the other party?

It’s just that Ye Rongxu is in poor health and has a delicate temperament. That’s why it’s usually difficult to get along with him, whether touching or kissing. He’s an adult and occasionally has needs, but he doesn’t love other people. What he truly cares about in his heart has always been Ye Rongxu.

However, Ye Rongxu didn’t understand him and fell in love with Qin Chaoyan…

When Qin Jingxu thought of this, hatred appeared in his eyes, and his tone became urgent: “Uncle, my mother passed away early, and I grew up alone in the Qin family, desolate and helpless. Now there’s no one to help me there, you…”

“You want me to take action?” The person behind the desk interrupted him, “Help you deal with Qin Chaoyan? Help you seize the Qin family?”

When Qin Jingxu heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he almost nodded immediately.

But then, the person behind the desk said in a contemptuous tone, “Is he worthy? Are you worthy?”

Qin Jingxu was stunned for a second, and his face turned pale in the next second.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, not understanding, “Uncle, what do you mean by that? Am I not your… nephew?”

“Nephew?” The man behind the desk suddenly smiled and nodded, saying, “Yes, I almost forgot.”

Then his tone suddenly changed to a friendly one: “How is your life in Country E? Is your study going well? Do you have enough money?”

He handed him a black card and continued, “If it’s not enough, tell your uncle; don’t be shy. Make more friends, broaden your horizons and knowledge, and don’t be confined to the trivial matters of the Qin family. Your vision has become narrow.”

Qin Jingxu’s expression was stiff, but he couldn’t say “no,”  so he could only nod.

After leaving the study, he looked gloomy. If the butler hadn’t been following him, he might have kicked the railing.

When he went down the stairs, a blond boy came towards him.

When the other party saw him, he said in an exaggerated tone, “Wow, isn’t this cousin Jingxu? When did he return to Country E?”

Qin Jingxu’s face turned gentle instantly with a forced smile. “Daniel, are you here to see Uncle?”

When the Qin and Xie families married, Xie Yunzhao, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, married Qin Qijiang, the heir of the Qin family. But after Xie Yunzhao’s death, the two elders of the Xie family were too sad and moved their property abroad. Not long after, they died, leaving only the eldest son Xie Yunming and the youngest daughter Xie Yunhua.

Xie Yunming was the real power holder of the Xie family nowadays, as well as Qin Jingxu’s uncle, the same person Qin Jingxu had just met in the study.

The other party was over forty-five years old but had never gotten married and had no children.

Xie Yunhua is Qin Jingxu’s aunt and has two children. The eldest son, Xie Yi, now follows Xie Yunming and works in the Xie Group. The youngest son is the golden-haired boy in front of him. His Chinese name is Xie Yu. He’s one of those idle, rich second-generation.

Qin Jingxu always looked down on this cousin, but since he was at his uncle’s house, he still greeted him politely.

Xie Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as he came up and hooked his arm around his neck, acting like a good little brother: “You’re too polite, cousin. Why didn’t you tell me that you’re back so I could pick you up at the airport. By the way, I heard that there’s an illegitimate child in your family who robbed your equity and your engagement partner? Tsk tsk, Ye Rongxu, that little fool, is finally enlightened? Ah, no, I mean, why did he suddenly get so upset that he dumped you? How about I go to Country C and help you teach that brother of yours a lesson?”

Qin Jingxu smiled stiffly and said reluctantly, “No need…”

“Ah, that’s right. I remembered that I have no real power and influence, and it seems that I can’t teach anyone a lesson.” Xie Yu said to himself again, “How about this? I’ll tell my brother and let him deal with your brother to help you vent your anger?”

Qin Jingxu’s heart moved slightly. Xie Yu was indeed useless, but his brother Xie Yi was different. In recent years, Xie Yunming intends to move some of his industries back to Country C, and Xie Yi happens to be in charge of this business.

If Xie Yi is willing to help him deal with Qin Chaoyan, he can easily bankrupt the branch company that Qin Chaoyan is in charge of.

If the company went bankrupt, wouldn’t it prove that Qin Chaoyan is useless? Will the Qin family dare to let him be in charge of any company or take over any project? The Ye family will probably also look down on him.

After that, if he uses some tricks to make Qin Chaoyan “cheat,”  Ye Rongxu will soon be disappointed.

When Qin Jingxu thought of this, his heart was already very tempted. Even when he was in the study just now, wasn’t he trying to get his uncle Xie Yunming to help him do so?

But he’s a hypocritical person. Although he really wants it in his heart, he always appears gentle and unassuming on the surface, pretending to be embarrassed and saying, “This… is not good, right? I’m afraid Brother Yi may also…”

“Eh? You don’t want to? Then forget it.” Xie Yu immediately shrugged and left with a look of regret.

Qin Jingxu choked and stood there in a stalemate.

When he walked out of the manor, his face was almost ashen.

Country C, Ye Family Villa.

After Ye Boxuan hung up the phone, he pinched his brows, turned to look at Qin Chaoyan, and sighed: “You’ve worked hard on this matter, and thank you for looking into it. I will ask someone to continue investigating. In addition, I think it’s better not to tell Xuxu about this matter for now. It’s enough for him to know that Yao Bin has been released from prison. If he knows too much, I’m afraid he will…”

“I already know.” Ye Rongxu came downstairs without knowing when and was controlling the wheelchair to the living room.

Qin Chaoyan saw him and hurriedly walked over to help him push the wheelchair.

Ye Boxuan was obviously a little worried when he saw him coming and asked: “How long have you been here? How much have you heard?”

Ye Rongxu grunted and didn’t answer, asking instead, “You two suspect that it’s Qin Jingxu who has contact with Yao Bin?”

Ye Boxuan hesitated for a moment but shook his head: “There is such a possibility, but it’s not very big.”

Ye Rongxu listened, his expression puzzled.

Qin Chaoyan also looked at him.

Ye Boxuan explained: “I just asked someone to check. Bohai Cleaning is a foreign-funded enterprise with strict employee management and high-quality service. It’s almost impossible for someone with a criminal record like Yao Bin to get in.

“Qin Group has no business dealings with Bohai. Stuffing Yao Bin in such a short period of time and arranging for him to arrive at Qinyuan in time for yesterday morning doesn’t seem like something Qin Jingxu can pull off.”

Ye Rongxu nodded his head, came to a realization, and said seriously, “That is to say, Qin Jingxu is relatively useless for not being capable of something like this?”

Ye Boxuan coughed lightly: “Little kid, you should be polite when you speak.”

Qin Chaoyan was also thoughtful when he heard this.

Ye Rongxu asked again: “Dad, then you want to say that Yao Bin’s appearance in Qinyuan is a coincidence?”

Before Ye Boxuan answered, Qin Chaoyan shook his head and said calmly: “It’s probably not a coincidence that Yao Bin can be arranged to work in Bohai.”

Ye Boxuan nodded in approval and then said to Ye Rongxu: “Dad will handle this matter; don’t think too much, anyway; stay at home for this period of time and try not to go out.”
Ye Rongxu wrinkled the tip of his nose and said in a muffled voice: “Okay.”

Although he didn’t go out much before, it was because he didn’t want to, which is different from having to stay at home. In addition…

He turned around, raised his thin white neck with great effort, and looked at Qin Chaoyan behind him, wanting to ask why he suddenly thought of going to Qinyuan to watch the surveillance.

But before he could speak, Ye Boxuan saw him “longingly” looking at Qin Chaoyan and instantly “understood.” He sighed and said to Qin Chaoyan: “Xiao Qin, if you are free these days, come here more often to accompany Xuxu. He needs someone to accompany him recently.” Especially you.

Ye Rongxu: “? ? ? ”

His neck stiffened, and he turned back with wide eyes.

Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Qin Chaoyan’s eyes also slowly surfaced with a smile, nodding his head towards Ye Boxuan, “Ok.”

Ye Boxuan looked satisfied and felt more and more that this marriage contract was a good exchange. The new son-in-law was more reliable than the previous one.

“Thank you for your hard work. You can stay and accompany Xuxu today. I’ll go out first.” Ye Boxuan probably had to deal with Yao Bin’s affairs and left in a hurry.

Ye Rongxu: “…” Wait, wait!

Who needs company?
