11: Chapter 11 The Manor Given by My Aunt

Lin Xiaojin quickly bowed. "Thank you! Thank you, President Qin."

Regardless of how fickle Qin Ge's emotions were or how he deliberately took advantage of her,

this meal card in her hand was a tangible way to improve her life.

With this card, she would no longer have to stave off hunger every day with desserts and milk tea.

Her health would also improve.

She could hold on for a few more years!

Furthermore, the food at the restaurant could be packed to go; she could take it back to eat with her mother.

That way, the time she saved on cooking might allow her to take a part-time job and earn a bit more money.

After Lin Xiaojin left the office, Qin Ge leisurely checked the several unread messages on his phone.

They were all sent by Jiang Yingxue.

The timestamps were from three hours ago.

"Qin Ge, come over to Yunshan Villa."

"My grandmother is here, and she specifically asked to see you."

"Hurry up."

A smile played on Qin Ge's lips. "The key figure to turn the situation around has finally appeared!"

Obviously, Jiang Yingxue didn't have much affection for him.

She had become the previous owner's girlfriend

only because Jiang Yingxue's grandmother had acted as a matchmaker.

Now, he had already broken up with Jiang Yingxue.

It was impossible for him to take the initiative to look for her.

And the existence of this grandmother served as a lubricant.

Proposal failed?

I'll mess with your head!

Qin Ge composed a text message and sent it back: "???"

Jiang Yingxue replied in seconds, which was rare. "What do you mean by sending three question marks? Get over here quickly, I can't hold out against Grandma anymore!"

"Qin Ge, if there's anything, let's calm down and talk slowly."

"Can we just get past my grandmother first, okay?"

Qin Ge turned off his phone screen, leaving Jiang Yingxue hanging.

"Yingza!"

Qin Ge called out.

Qiao Yingzi quickly pushed the door open and entered, asking curiously, "President Qin, were you looking for me?"

Qin Ge nodded. "Have you found a place to stay yet?"

He couldn't live in the Qin Family Manor anymore.

As for hotels, they were only good for short stays.

He still needed a secret base that belonged solely to him.

Qiao Yingzi bowed her head. "President Qin, your aunt learned that you were looking for a place and has already purchased a manor for you in Yunhai City."

...

Yunshan Villa.

At Jiang Yingxue's residence, a silver-haired, kind-faced Old Lady sat on the sofa with a stern expression, her wrinkles deepening. "Xiaoxue, why hasn't Qin Ge arrived yet?"

"Is there a conflict between the two of you?"

"How many times have I told you? You need to change your temper. Can't you feel how good Qin Ge is to you? People aren't made of stone; Qin Ge has his own personality and his own temper."

"Are you so selfish that you don't care about Qin Ge's feelings at all?"

Jiang Yingxue hid in the dining room, clutching her phone tightly, her teeth itching with hatred.

This guy Qin Ge actually waited three hours before replying to her message.

And he only sent three big question marks.

Then he ignored her!

You should know that in the past, Qin Ge always replied in seconds.

Whereas she would see his messages and, if she was in a bad mood, refuse to acknowledge him.

Now, Qin Ge was actually doing the same to her?

Could it be that this guy really intended to break up with her?

She didn't believe Qin Ge had the courage.

Nor did she think he would actually be willing to leave her.

It was nothing more than playing hard to get.

Bastard!

Even if he wanted to throw a tantrum, he shouldn't have picked this time!

Cursing inwardly, Jiang Yingxue hurried back to the living room, sat down beside her grandmother, and took her arm, saying distressedly, "Grandma, Qin Ge's company is very busy; he can't get away for the moment."

"How about you go back first, and when Qin Ge comes over, we'll visit you together?"

Old Lady Wang gave a light huff. "If Qin Ge is really busy, what were you doing hiding in the dining room?"

"If you haven't had a falling out, show Grandma your phone."

"I want to see how you've been chatting with Qin Ge."

Jiang Yingxue instinctively stuffed her phone into her bag and forced a troubled smile. "Grandma, we young people have our own privacy."

"Privacy?"

Seeing this, Old Lady Wang understood instantly and said with disappointment, "I think you, Jiang Yingxue, have become spoiled by his affection and don't care about Qin Ge at all."

"Now Qin Ge is angry and doesn't want to come see this Old Lady anymore!"

Whoosh—

In her anger, Old Lady Wang's breathing gradually became heavy and rapid.

Her frail frame began to tremble slightly.

Even her raised arm was shaking violently.

Her gasps for air became increasingly difficult.

Jiang Yingxue was frightened out of her wits. She quickly massaged her grandmother's chest and pouted her lips aggrievedly. "Grandma, don't be angry, don't scare me!"

Her grandmother's health had always been poor.

Even in the nursing home with famous doctors caring for her, it didn't do much good.

She was too old; her organs were all beginning to fail.

Moreover, she had been raised by her grandmother since childhood.

She was closest to her grandmother.

At the thought that her grandmother might leave her,

she couldn't help but tremble with fear deep inside.

"Water... water!"

Old Lady Wang gasped, trying to reach for the water glass on the coffee table.

Jiang Yingxue hurriedly brought the glass to her grandmother.

Old Lady Wang took a large pile of capsules from her bag, stuffed them into her mouth, and washed them down with water.

A full minute later, the violently trembling Old Lady Wang finally regained her composure.

Jiang Yingxue was already drenched in cold sweat from the scare. "Grandma, I'll take you to the hospital. Let's go now."

Old Lady Wang shook her head stubbornly. "I'm not going!"

"I'm staying right here today. If I don't see Qin Ge, I'm not going anywhere!"

How could she, as a grandmother, not know her granddaughter's personality?

She was just taking advantage of Qin Ge's love and acting spoiled.

Now, Qin Ge was provoked.

He was unwilling to meet again.

If she didn't push a bit more,

perhaps her granddaughter and Qin Ge really would say goodbye!

"If he's busy with work, I'll go with you to Weixue Group. When Qin Ge gets off work, we'll all have dinner together."

Old Lady Wang truly liked Qin Ge very much.

She was afraid her granddaughter wouldn't know what to say.

She intended to take matters into her own hands.

Jiang Yingxue quickly shook her head. "Grandma, you just wait at home. I'll go fetch Qin Ge."

She knew her grandmother's temper; she was very stubborn.

If she didn't see Qin Ge today, she wouldn't let it go.

Besides, who knew how many hours that medication would last?

If the effect wore off before Qin Ge arrived, she was truly afraid something would happen to her grandmother.

After comforting her grandmother, Jiang Yingxue hurried to drive to Weixue Group.

When she reached the company building, she happened to see the LED screen of Weixue Group being changed to the four gilded characters for 'Company Name'.

She had no time or mood to worry about this and quickly took the elevator to the floor where the Chairman's office was located.

Under the watchful eyes of the Company Name employees, she didn't even knock and walked straight into Qin Ge's office.

Sitting behind the desk, Lin Xiaojin was currently eating rice.

Hearing the commotion, she instinctively looked up.

Jiang Yingxue's scrutinizing beautiful eyes clashed intensely with Lin Xiaojin's bewildered large eyes!
