Qin Lang reacted imdiately and walked over, excitedly grabbing old man Qin’s hand.
“I didn’t expect to et you here. You saved my daughter last ti, and then we couldn’t find you.”
“I was just lending a hand. Girl, get up. Don’t kneel, it’s not good for my longevity.”
Hearing this, Qin Tiantian slowly stood up.
Xu Lin and his father more or less understood now that the story old man Qin had told was true, and it was a coincidence that the girl in question was Qin Tiantian.
However, Xu Lin and his father had no particular affection for Qin Tiantian and Qin Lang, and they didn’t bother to ask further questions.
“Do you live around here?” Qin Lang’s emotions had stabilized a bit, and he sat next to old man Qin.
“I live downstairs. Are you friends with Xu Feng?”
“What a coincidence. We haven’t been here in a long ti and just decided to drop by, and we happened to et you.”
“Well, I’m full now. You all chat, I’ll head ho.” Old man Qin nodded and started to get up to leave.
“Old man Qin, right? We’re from the sa family. I’m also a Qin. It’s such a rare and fateful encounter, we must thank you properly!”
“No need! I really just lent a hand. I’m leaving now. Xu Feng, I’ll co by for a drink next ti.”
He then walked towards the door. Xu Lin’s father, a bit tipsy, went to see him off. Qin Lang looked at his daughter.
“Follow and see old man Qin ho. I’ll chat here for a bit and then co down.”
“Alright.” Qin Tiantian nodded and followed.
Qin Lang got up with a simple smile and ca over to Xu Lin.
“Xu Lin, isn’t Miss Chu here?”
“She has her own things to do usually. Why, Uncle Qin, do you need to see her?”
Xu Lin had asked Chu Qingchan about this before, but she had forgotten the incident with the two of them and didn’t seem to hold any grudges against them.
“I wanted to thank Miss Chu. If it weren’t for her, Tiantian might have…” Qin Lang said seriously.
“Did sothing happen?”
“She didn’t tell you?”
“No, she didn’t ntion anything like this to .”
“After that incident, I reflected a lot. As a father, I didn’t protect her well.”
“It was also because I was lazy and incompetent that she strayed. But now that she’s in the entertainnt industry, I support her.”
“However, half a month ago, a private video of hers leaked online, and… it was real. We were dumbfounded and didn’t know what to do!”
“We tried to refute it on social dia, saying the footage was blurry, but the internet is ruthless, and she faced imnse pressure.”
“A few days later, while I was out getting breakfast, I ca back to find her in the bathtub with slashed wrists!”
“I panicked and called for an ambulance, which was stuck outside our complex. Luckily, old man Qin, who was working nearby, carried her to the ambulance.”
“I followed the ambulance, but when we got back, old man Qin had already left. The residents downstairs didn’t have his contact information either.”
“A week ago, with no other choice, I contacted Miss Chu Qingchan and asked for her help.”
“Despite our previous conflict, Miss Chu helped us.”
“I don’t know how she did it, but the spread of the video stopped. I feel we need to thank her properly.”
After listening, Xu Lin took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead, feeling like this was sothing out of a TV drama. The entertainnt industry…
No wonder Qin Tiantian didn’t wear makeup today and looked unwell. She seed like a country girl based on her outfit.
“But even if it’s resolved, she doesn’t want to return to the entertainnt industry, right?”
“Yes… because the video was leaked by her ex-boyfriend who got her into the industry! Miss Chu Qingchan helped us get evidence, and now he’s been arrested.”
“Then you really should thank Chu Qingchan properly.”
Xu Lin knew that Chu Qingchan must have asked her sister, Chu Fengyi, for help.
Although Chu Qingchan had a PR team, they weren’t capable of this level of investigation.
“Yes.”
“Just thank her face-to-face. She doesn’t lack anything and doesn’t like unnecessary socializing.”
“I understand.”
“For now, you should thank old man Qin. He’s the one who saved your family.”
“Yes, I’ll head downstairs now. Which floor?”
“302. Don’t cause a scene. He might not accept it. Aunt Qin just passed away a month ago, so he’s…”
“Oh! Got it, got it.” Qin Lang clenched his fists and quickly walked out.
Xu Lin’s dad ca in and shut the door, and the house fell silent again. He stood up.
“Let’s wash the dishes. Let them handle their own affairs.”
“Yeah, but Qin Lang does seem much better than before, without that arrogant attitude.” Xu Lin’s dad comnted.
“People are like that. When they have so ability, who doesn’t want to show off? It’s human nature. But if it makes others uncomfortable, it’s pointless.”
“Son, your dad is going to a class reunion the day after tomorrow. Can you get a nice car to drive?”
“Huh?”
“Didn’t you say everyone likes to show off a bit? Your dad does too!”
“Hahaha, alright. But why do you think your son can get a car?”
“I believe in my son’s ability.”
“You an you believe in your daughter-in-law’s connections.”
“Anyway, I’ll leave it to you.”
Xu Feng thought about the last reunion where everyone drove, and he took a taxi. This ti, he wanted to drive a nice car.
“Fine. Is there any food left?”
“There’s quite a bit. Why? Didn’t you just eat?”
Xu Feng didn’t know his son could eat so much, didn’t he eat much more than the little girl?
“A guest is coming at 8. I’ll prepare so food.”
“A guest? Why didn’t you say so earlier? We could have eaten together.”
“You and mom finished cooking early. We can’t keep old man Qin waiting. The guest is a woman with a child, so they won’t eat much. I’ll make 2-3 dishes.”
“Do what you think is best. But you know a woman with a child?”
Xu Lin saw his father’s curious look and rolled his eyes, wondering from where suddenly his father’s flirtatious nature ca.
After washing the dishes and preparing the ingredients, he looked at the ti. It was still not yet 8.
He went to the window to let out the food slls and called Chu Qingchan.
“Hello, are you ho?”
“Just got back. You have great timing. Have you eaten? Let’s go out and eat, just the two of us.”
Chu Qingchan’s voice was lazy and hoarse, like a feather gently teasing his nose.
“Did you forget? Ms. Ye is coming tonight. I invited her to my house for dinner.”
“Oh~”
“You sound unhappy.”
“When you spend a day alone with , I’ll be happier.”
“Can you smile at all day?”
“You’re making it hard for soone who doesn’t smile much, but I’ll try.”
“Alright, see you soon. No need to dress up, there aren’t any other guests.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, Qin Lang and Qin Tiantian ca to my house earlier.”
“Qin Lang… him. He ca to my studio recently, insisting on my help. I didn’t want to at first.”
“But you helped?”
“Because she’s a woman. I didn’t like her, but being secretly fild and having the video posted online is too much!”
“Especially with all the victim-blaming, saying girls don’t love themselves. She’s the victim! It’d be the sa if it were a man!”
Chu Qingchan sounded angry, and Xu Lin understood. He never watched hidden cara videos, only legitimate productions.
“Did you ask Chu Fengyi for help?”
“How did you know? Yes, my sister is amazing.”
“You don’t need to be jealous of her. Everyone has their strengths.”
“I know. Also, I feel bad about what I said back then. I called her out in front of so many people, saying she was selling herself, but she just dated a few industry guys.”
“There’s no way to justify it… Alright, you cook. I’ll be there soon.”
“Okay.”
He hung up, but his phone rang again imdiately. Xu Lin glanced at the unfamiliar number.
He was about to hang up, hating to deal with sales calls, but his hand slipped and answered it by accident.
