Chapter 443: Chapter 443 Who is Lying_1
Qin Sisi was not angered by Lu Meilin’s words. Instead, she stood there calmly, gazing at her. Her eyes, however, revealed a lot of inquiry.
Lu Meilin, however, was sweating coldly under Qin Sisi’s probing gaze. Thinking quickly, she abruptly subdued her grievances and anger, offering Qin Sisi a tight-lipped smile. "Nevermind," she said calmly, "times are tough, we’re all just trying to make a living."
Then Lu Meilin pulled out several hundred yuan bills from a delicate purse and handed them to Qin Sisi. Her manner was like an emperor bestowing a reward on a servant: "Here, as a token of thanks for cleaning up the unclean spirits in this house. I’m sure my husband will be thrilled."
Qin Sisi cast a glance at the bills without reaching for them, her gaze growing colder as she looked at Lu Meilin.
Lu Meilin’s resentment could be understood in the first place because Qin Sisi had occupied her bedroom for the night - this even made Qin Sisi suspect that Yu Feng was lying to her. But now, what Lu Meilin was doing felt a bit like bribery.
Seeing Qin Sisi refusing the money, Lu Meilin’s face turned a shade darker.
Qin Sisi was simply dressed, without any brand name or luxury items. The pet cat she carried was a common one. Lu Meilin had initially assumed that she would be seduced by the sight of money. To her surprise, Qin Sisi was unmoved.
Grinding her teeth, Lu Meilin pulled out a few more bills and put them together with the previous ones. She asked impatiently, "Is this enough?"
Qin Sisi coldly glanced at Lu Meilin, tightened her hold on Ye You, and turned to leave without looking back.
"Hey! You..." Lu Meilin was so angry she wanted to curse out loud but fearful of making a scene, she gritted her teeth in frustration.
As Qin Sisi got downstairs, she saw that Boss Zheng and Mr. Fu had already woken up and were chatting on the sofa.
In the dining room and kitchen, the staff were preparing breakfast.
Temporarily putting aside the incident with Lu Meilin, Qin Sisi politely greeted Boss Zheng and Mr. Fu.
Shortly afterward, Mrs. Fu - Lu Meilin - also came downstairs, freshly dressed. A pink cashmere sweater made her complexion particularly delicate, while a light gray woolen skirt made her look generous and elegant.
She was, indeed, a rare beauty.
Lu Meilin warmly greeted everyone downstairs, including Qin Sisi, her demeanor gentle and elegant. It was as if she had never had an unpleasant interaction with Qin Sisi.
At the dining table, Mr. Fu and Boss Zheng talked primarily about business matters, while Qin Sisi listened occasionally.
After a while, Mr. Fu initiated the conversation with Qin Sisi, "Master Qin, how did things go last night?"
Upon hearing Mr. Fu’s question, Qin Sisi quickly looked up. "Very smoothly," she replied. There was indeed an unclean entity, but I have it under control. Strange things will no longer happen in this house, and your health will gradually recover."
Mr. Fu’s request had just been for Qin Sisi to exorcise the ghost in the villa, which she had accomplished.
Regardless of whether she could help Yu Feng fulfill his wish, she would not let him disturb Mr. Fu’s life here again.
Mr. Fu’s face showed joy: "Really?"
"Of course," replied Qin Sisi confidently. "You can live here for a while and make sure there are no problems, and then... Your friend Boss Zheng can take care of whatever follows."
Mr. Fu of course understood Qin Sisi’s meaning and became even more certain seeing her confidence.
"You are too kind," Qin Sisi said politely in response.
Boss Zheng just smiled at Mr. Fu, as if everything was as he expected.
Seeing that Qin Sisi did not say anything detrimental to her, Lu Meilin silently breathed a sigh of relief. But she didn’t want to continue acting out a pleasant façade - she felt like her face had stiffened from smiling.
So, before the other three were done eating, Lu Meilin put down her chopsticks and stood up. With a gentle smile still on her face, she said apologetically, "Please enjoy your meal; I have to go to work."
Boss Zheng immediately replied, "Sure."
Mr. Fu also replied with a soft "Hmm," giving his wife a nod with a tender expression.
Ignoring Qin Sisi and Boss Zheng, Lu Meilin deliberately turned to Mr. Fu separately, fluttered her lashes at him, and whispered softly, "See you tonight."
Mr. Fu responded with an ambiguous smile.
Qin Sisi remembered the bed with its special use. It seemed like this older man and younger woman led a very colorful night life!
As she watched Lu Meilin’s slim figure gradually fade away, Qin Sisi suddenly remembered something. Turning to Mr. Fu, she asked, "Where does Mrs. Fu work?"
Mr. Fu replied with a smile, "My wife is a nurse."
A nurse!
A light seemed to flash in Qin Sisi’s mind, but it was too quick for her to catch hold of.
Boss Zheng, on the other hand, complimented with a polite laugh, "An angel in white. How great."
Mr. Fu responded with pleasure, "Indeed, the hospital was our matchmaker!"
"Oh? Tell us more, let us hear your romantic story," Boss Zheng encouraged, shooting Qin Sisi a meaningful glance.
Qin Sisi suddenly understood that Boss Zheng had seen something in her restrained expression. That’s why he deliberately asked Mr. Fu about his wife’s details.
So, Qin Sisi also immediately perked up her ears, ready to listen carefully to Mr. Fu’s story.
Clearing his throat, Mr. Fu said with a somewhat proud look, "I’m willing to share, but don’t make fun of me."
Boss Zheng promptly responded, "We’ve been friends for so many years, who would make fun of whom?"
Only then did Mr. Fu start to tell his story, "On National Day last year, amid the heavy traffic and crowds, I unfortunately had a minor car accident and was sent to the hospital. I thought it was quite unlucky, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, for that is when I met my current wife, Lu Meilin."
"My wife was a nurse at that hospital. The moment I saw her... how should I put it... I fell in love with her at first sight, as young people often put it, ha-ha!"
Seeing Mr. Fu laugh like a blooming flower, Qin Sisi and Boss Zheng courteously joined in the laughter for a moment out of politeness.
After the laughter, Mr. Fu continued his story, "I suddenly felt years younger. When I saw her, my heart would throb intensely, and I confessed my feelings to her."
"She didn’t accept me right away, but she said we could start by being friends. "
"So, I launched an intense romantic pursuit of her. A few months later, with my sincere heart, I finally won the beauty."
Qin Sisi commented inwardly, "The ’beauty’ was probably won by your wealth, not by your ’sincere heart’."
