Chapter 29

If the previous rumors were like a bomb that set the entire school ablaze,

Qin Xuan’s recent actions were akin to dropping an atomic bomb.

Qin Xuan actually held Xiao Wu’s hand!

All the boys felt as if their dream goddess had been defiled, and the school erupted once again.

When Lu Yunfan reacted, his expression had already turned grim, almost sinister.

His pitch-black pupils blazed with fury and intense murderous intent.

"Qin Xuan!"

These two words slowly emerged from the depths of his throat, making many people shudder.

They all knew that this young master with an unfathomable background was truly enraged.

Outside the school, Xiao Wu was also stunned.

She never imagined that Qin Xuan would take such a shocking action, and even her usually calm heart was now roiling with waves of emotion.

Having not touched any male for seventeen years, she was now being held by Qin Xuan.

His slender, strong fingers clasped her hand as if it were a lock.

For some reason, Xiao Wu did not feel the slightest aversion.

"Sorry!"

Qin Xuan released Xiao Wu’s hand, with a hint of apology: "I didn’t mean to!"

"You didn’t mean to?"

Xiao Wu came to her senses, her face slightly flushed.

Her heart calmed down again, and she looked at Qin Xuan with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Qin Xuan smiled faintly: "Maybe I did mean to!"

He looked at Xiao Wu, "Keep that Buddhist scripture. Consider it my apology for my actions."

Qin Xuan put his hands in his pockets, facing the gentle breeze, and walked towards home.

"An apology?"

Xiao Wu lowered her head, looking at the notebook, standing there hesitantly for a moment, and sighed softly.

This was just an excuse, how could she not understand?

She looked deeply at Qin Xuan’s gradually disappearing back, a hint of curiosity on her face: "Qin Xuan, how many more things will surprise me?"

...

At He Yun’s home, the sound of a key turning in the lock was heard.

He Yun, dragging a large suitcase, walked into the house with some difficulty. With her movements, her chest heaved dramatically, enough to be described as turbulent waves.

"Su Yunyue, can’t you help me a bit?" He Yun panted, her slightly mature face showing a look of annoyance.

Behind her, Su Yunyue wore sunglasses and leisurely surveyed the house.

"Help you?" Su Yunyue sneered, greatly surprised: "Miss He, did I hear that right?"

"You left me alone in Jing Shui City for several days, and I didn’t even bother to find you. Now you want me to help you?" Su Yunyue was full of resentment.

"I finally came to seek refuge with you, and this is how you treat me. Now you want me to help you? Not a chance."

Su Yunyue walked into the room on her own, tsking: "Miss He, is this your little nest? My goodness, what on earth made you leave your hometown to come to such a small place like Jing Shui to suffer? Are you trying to experience life?"

"Stop your sarcastic remarks!" He Yun closed the door, retorting coldly: "You came too, didn’t you? If I weren’t here, you would have been caught long ago."

Su Yunyue’s expression changed slightly, and she laughed: "Alright, Miss, I’m just in a bind, forced to bow my head. Who would have thought my luck would be so bad, coming to seek refuge with you?"

He Yun couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head.

They were the best of friends, having grown up together since childhood.

Putting the suitcase aside, He Yun sat on the sofa and said: "I’ve been on a business trip for a few days, not like you, a pampered young lady. I still have to eat and support Xiao Yu’s education."

Su Yunyue twirled the sunglasses on her finger and placed them on the coffee table.

"I keep telling you, you’re just asking for trouble. Why come here to suffer when you could stay at home? And you even brought He Yu along. I’ve never heard of sisters suffering together like this."

He Yun glared at Su Yunyue, "Mind your own business!"

"By the way, how have you been in Jing Shui these past few days?"

"Talking about it makes me furious!" Su Yunyue pouted, "I came all this way to seek refuge with you, and you were on a business trip. What could I do? I found a hotel and stayed there for a few days, waiting for you."

Though she said this, Su Yunyue couldn’t help but think of the figure who had accused her of "taking advantage," secretly seething with anger.

Brat, if I find you, you’ll regret it.

"Alright, I’m back now!" He Yun shook her head, glancing at the time, "What do you want to eat? I’ll cook for you today."

"Really?" Su Yunyue’s eyes lit up, patting He Yun’s shoulder approvingly: "That’s more like it. I know all your favorite dishes, just cook a few hundred of them."

"Go cool off somewhere!"

He Yun glared at Su Yunyue, standing up: "By the way, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuan will be coming home from school soon. Don’t scare them."

"How could I, a naturally beautiful lady, scare anyone?" Su Yunyue said proudly, suddenly a bit puzzled: "I haven’t seen He Yu in almost three years. She must have grown into a beauty no less than me. But who is Xiao Xuan?"

She seemed to think of something, exclaiming: "Is he your brother? I haven’t heard Uncle He mention him."

"Sort of!" He Yun said casually: "His name is Qin Xuan, Shen Xinxiu’s... Shen Xinxiu’s child. He’s temporarily staying at my place to attend high school, the same grade as Xiao Yu."

"At least you didn’t suddenly have a brother." Su Yunyue patted her own white, tender chest, suddenly realizing: "Shen Xinxiu from Xiu Hua Group?"

"Yep!" He Yun nodded, taking out her phone and calling Qin Xuan.

"Xiao Xuan, I’m back from my business trip. Come home for dinner tonight, don’t forget!"

"Right, there’s a guest at home, um... a shameless woman. Just ignore her."

Hanging up the call, He Yun looked at the surprised Su Yunyue: "I’ll go buy groceries, you stay here."

Su Yunyue nodded, still thinking about the name Shen Xinxiu.

She had heard this name more than once. Shen Xinxiu, the business legend on both sides of the Yangtze River.

In just over two years, she had single-handedly built a massive business empire on both sides of the Yangtze River, with assets worth hundreds of millions. She was hailed as the Queen of Xiu Hua by the business community, and even her father had mentioned this name multiple times.

The child named Qin Xuan was actually the son of this Queen of Xiu Hua?

"Interesting, but it seems the Queen of Xiu Hua is facing some difficulties recently." Su Yunyue shook her head, then picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

Who cares? It’s not my problem.
