My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

Chapter 416: Giving You Face



````

"Zhou Nannan is my wife; we're from the same town and have lived together for over ten years. How could she possibly be the young miss of the Qin Family?"

Wu Jinlong's eyes also widened, obviously disbelieving what the young man in the duckbill cap said.

"It's true. The young miss grew up in a small village by the East Sea, where the Family Head had fallen on hard times and placed her in foster care. Now that the Family Head has secured his position in the Qin Family, he wants to bring the young miss back!"

The head of the Qin Family wanted to find his daughter, and everyone in the family knew about it, so even the man in the duckbill cap, one of the lowest-ranking subordinates in the Qin Family, was aware of this.

"Bullshit, Zhou Nannan is clearly my mother-in-law's own child. How could she be adopted!"

Wu Jinlong immediately countered.

"The young miss has already taken a paternity test with the Family Head, and she is indeed his daughter!"

The man in the duckbill cap turned red-faced as he said this, afraid that Qin Yu might think he was lying.

"Hmm... wait a second..."

Qin Yu could tell that the man in the duckbill cap was not lying, but there were too many illogical things about the whole situation.

First, even if Zhou Nannan was the biological daughter of the Qin Family Head, why would Qing Yi's subordinates create an explosion in her father's rental house?

Second, after becoming the young miss of the Qin Family, why would she be in such a hurry to get rid of her own husband?

Third, why did she keep her real purpose for going to Capital City a secret, even from Zhou Cuiping, her mother, and only say she was going to work at a company instead of returning to her biological parents' family?

What kind of shameful secrets were hidden within all of this?

"What I'm saying is the truth, and that's all I know!"

Seeing that Qin Yu seemed skeptical, the man in the duckbill cap raised his hands in a hurry, almost swearing.

"So you're saying that Qing Yi's last visit to the East Sea was to find the Qin Family Head's daughter, who had been fostered outside? They hadn't seen each other in over twenty years. How did Qing Yi manage to find Zhou Nannan?"

Qin Yu frowned, doubting that Qing Yi could have just spotted Zhou Nannan out of the blue as the Qin Family Head's biological daughter. There must have been a general direction, and they needed proof.

"Well... It seems to be a jade pendant. Originally, the Family Head broke the jade pendant in half, keeping one piece for himself and one piece with the young miss."

The man in the duckbill cap thought for a moment before saying.

"You're lying. I've been with Zhou Nannan for ten years. Every night, we're undressed and intimate, how come I've never noticed she had a jade pendant? She must have found a wealthy lover and concocted these lies to fool me, right?"

Wu Jinlong pointed at the young man in the duckbill cap, yelling with spit flying.

"Half a jade pendant?"

Qin Yu blinked. It seemed that his sister had always carried half a jade pendant, and she, too, was adopted by their parents, just over twenty years ago.

At that thought, Qin Yu turned around and took out his phone to send a WeChat message to his sister: "Take a picture of the half jade pendant you have and let me see it!"

Wuu wuu...

Qin Wei'er quickly replied: Bro, I lost that half jade pendant; I have been unable to find it. I guess I lost it when I was sick in East Sea. I was so out of it that I don't remember much of anything.

Oh, it's fine. That half jade isn't worth much, don't worry about it. I've got some things to handle, we'll chat later.

After consoling his sister with a few words, Qin Yu put down his phone.

He had roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter.

His sister's jade pendant was lost, and by chance, Zhou Nannan picked it up. Then, Qing Yi mistook her for the Qin Family's young miss and brought her back to the Qin Family.

But that's not right either. Even if she was brought back, neither he nor his sister were the kinds of people who longed for wealth and luxury.

````

But why would Qing Yi want to harm my father and Wu Jinlong?

Could it be that she already knew Zhou Nannan wasn't the real Qin Family heiress, so she wanted to kill everyone who knew about it?

My god...

Qin Yu was shocked by his own speculation. Qing Yi had such nerve, such cold-blooded tactics—she even dared to deceive the Family Head she served. Her intent was nothing less than to control Zhou Nannan and then secure her own position within the Qin Family.

This is bad... Could my sister be in danger?

Because she's the true heiress of the Qin Family!

No, that's not right. If Qing Yi truly knew my sister was the person they were looking for, why didn't she get rid of her right away?

The more Qin Yu thought about it, the more he felt shrouded in fog. He paced back and forth in the courtyard, and after a good while, he asked the man in the duckbill cap, "What kind of relationship does Qing Yi have with the Qin Family Head?"

"Miss Qing Yi is the adopted daughter of the Family Head—their relationship is like that of a father and his own daughter!"

The man in the duckbill cap replied.

Hmm...

That's right, Qing Yi is after all just the adopted daughter. If the real Qin Family heiress were to return, her status would be threatened. The best course of action would be to find an impostor to take back, then keep this impostor firmly under her control, so that ultimately, the Qin Family's enterprise would fall into the hands of this adopted daughter.

What a grand family power struggle drama!

Even if the person they had initially found was my real sister, with her innocent and kind nature, she wouldn't have been able to compete with Qing Yi upon returning to the Qin Family. I reckon an 'accident' would have occurred after a few years, costing her life.

A blessing in disguise, perhaps.

Qin Yu couldn't help but think of this saying. It was actually quite good for his sister not to return to the Qin Family and to live an ordinary life.

If Zhou Nannan is willing to be the Qin Family heiress, then let her be. As long as she doesn't bother my family, that's fine.

Having made his decision, Qin Yu looked at the man in the duckbill cap and said, "You should have Qing Yi's phone number, right? Dial it, I want to speak with her for a moment."

"Er... okay!"

The man in the duckbill cap took out his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to Qin Yu once the call connected.

"Qing Yi, remember me? Qin Yu!"

Qin Yu declared his name on the phone.

"I remember!"

Qing Yi's voice was very calm, without any ripple.

"Your man is in my hands now. I just want to tell you something. Some things that you deem significant, for which you're willing to kill several people to keep secret, might be worthless to others. So, stop sending people to East Sea, or I will get involved. By the way, I should mention that my current identity is the leader of the Dragon Gate special action team!"

Qin Yu didn't like to boast, but in order to protect the safety of his family, he didn't mind using the identity of the leader of the Dragon Gate special action team this time.

"The leader of the newly established special action team from Dragon Gate is you?"

Finally, a few traces of surprise crept into Qing Yi's voice.

"Guaranteed genuine!"

Qin Yu said leisurely.

"What all do you know?"

Qing Yi asked in return.

"Not much, but not little either. Anyway, I don't want to deal with your messy affairs, and you better not send anyone to bother me or the people around me. To put it simply. you walk on your sunny path, and I'll cross my own log bridge, understand?"

Qin Yu's voice carried a note of warning.

Perhaps in the past, he would've been wary of Qing Yi's martial prowess and identity, but now that he was about to break through to Half-Step Pill Holding himself, he really wasn't afraid of her at all.

"Alright, I'll give you that face. Beep beep..."

Having said her piece, Qing Yi hung up the call.
