The deceased has returned home
The car drove for almost an hour and entered the suburbs, driving into a courtyard.
A typical high-end residential area, nestled in the mountains and surrounded by water, with a small population density. It appears that this villa district is newly built, with a low occupancy rate, only three or four villas have lights on, adding a touch of warmth to this quiet place during the New Year.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the Qin family arrive, she came forward to greet them. According to her self-introduction, she was the nanny of this house, surnamed Li, and everyone called her Sister Li. She also apologized because the second young master of their own home had a headache and it was inconvenient to meet them.
"Second Young Master?" Qin Xiao was somewhat perplexed and also slightly...
"Ah. Miss Qin doesn't know, the old master and mistress passed away early, leaving only the eldest young master, second young master, and third miss in the house." Li Sao explained with a tone filled with deep sorrow.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Qin Xiao knew she had uncovered a wound in this family.
"It's nothing, everyone knows about these things." Li Shu forced out a faint smile and let out a deep sigh.
Qin Hanyi was looking for a man who not only had "a car and a house, with both parents deceased", but also an upgraded version of that - "had a luxury car, had a mansion, with both parents deceased". And he was also a rich second generation. This kind of man wasn't someone you could find just by wanting to.
Her mother glared at Qin Xiao fiercely.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
A man came out of the house and bowed to Qin's father and mother: "Uncle and aunt, you've arrived. It was Mo Qi's negligence that he didn't greet you personally."
"Moqi, you're really too polite, we're going to be a family soon, don't be so particular." Qin's father and mother were all smiles.
The man invited Qin's family into the living room and sat on the sofa. He also ordered Li to make a pot of Longjing tea before the rain.
A crisp white shirt tucked into a grey Burberry sweater, Ferragamo black loafers, and Givenchy black casual pants.
Qin Xiao took a closer look at the man, somewhat unexpectedly. She had thought he would be another idle rich young master type. But he wasn't, polite and courteous, dressed in a simple yet elegant manner.
That man had a face that was enough to make him proud. His facial features were as delicate as if they were carved, and the contours of his face were not overly defined, and his skin was also quite fair. Overall, he gave off a very gentle feeling, especially with those light brown eyes. His eyes were like that person's, even giving off the same impression - a warm and refined man.
"Hello. I am Huai's boyfriend - Bai Moqi." He extended his hand to Qin Xiao.
"Qin Xiao, He Yi's sister. Hello!" Qin Xiao naturally stretched out her hand and shook hands with Bai Mo in a polite manner.
Bai Moqi's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he heard her name, seemingly deep in thought. Then he quickly took another glance at her: "So it's Miss Qin."
"What? Mr. Bai knows me?" Qin Xiao calmly withdrew his hand and smiled.
Bai Moqi's mouth curled up into a faint smile with some unclear meaning: "I often hear friends mention Miss Qin. I've also long admired her great name."
"Second Master, the chef has prepared the meal." Li Ayi reported to Bai Moqi.
"Let's stop chatting and don't be slow, Uncle and Auntie please take a seat!" He stood up and led Qin's father and mother into the dining hall, inviting them to take their seats.
Thoughtfully, Qin Xiao pulled out a stool and asked her to sit down. Then, he sat down with Qin Huai together.
"Mo Qi, is your brother coming today too?" Qin Mu's mother asked.
"Yes, but my brother's flight is delayed and he will be back later. Let's start eating first, no need to wait for him."
As soon as Bai Mozhi's voice fell, there was a knock at the door. Li Sao hurriedly went to open it.
"Sorry about that. I was delayed on the road." A deep and mellow voice sounded.
This voice, for Qin Xiao, was hidden deep in memory, and his ears would never forget it. That person's voice was like that.
Qin Xiao slowly turned her head and saw the man who had just entered - the real owner of this pair of boots.
He also saw her, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He glanced at the boots on her feet again.
Their eyes met, and both of their mouths involuntarily curled up into a faint smile. Yet it was so bitter, and yet so forced.
She got up and walked towards him.
The two hugged briefly, and he asked her in a low voice: "Did you miss me?"
"No!" She whispered this word softly in his ear, yet it dragged his heart into the abyss.
The two of them parted ways soon after, and the whole process was like a reunion of old friends who had been separated for a long time.
The two were indeed reunited after a long time apart, but they were not old friends, rather sworn enemies.
"Xiao Xiao!" A girl walked out from behind him, excitedly shouting Qin Xiao, and immediately hugged Qin Xiao: "Sister Xiao Xiao, I've missed you to death."
The atmosphere had subtly solidified, and everyone's focus was now on Qin Xiao.
"Zhī Lù! So rude!" He lowered his voice to scold the girl, "Uncle and aunt will laugh at me, Zhī Lù this child has been spoiled by me. Sorry."
He bowed slightly. The girl immediately followed suit: "Hello Uncle and Aunt!"
"You're too polite." Mr. and Mrs. Qin also stood up, "This must be Mo Qi's older brother and younger sister, right?!"
"Yes, Uncle. I am Shirakawa Kōmei."
"Alright, the Bai family is indeed a talented one! Does Ze Hua know Xiao Xiao?"
"He and Xiao Xiao are classmates."
"Alright, fate it is. Come sit down quickly, don't stand there."
Bai Zhiyao took Qin Xiao's arm and entered the seat with great enthusiasm. Bai Ze Hua sat beside Qin Xiao.
Qin Fu looked at Qin Xiao and Bai Zehua with profound meaning.
