562 The Hong Family’s Old Residence
After ‘throwing the trash’, as Qin Xi walked back leisurely, she was thinking of an excuse to leave home to settle the matter.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang. It was from her deskmate, Jiang Li. Her eyes lit up and she quickly picked up the call. “Hello, Jiang Li, do me a favor…”
When Qin Xi entered the house, she was still talking to Jiang Li on the phone and speaking in a voice her parents could hear.
“I can, but it’ll be too late after that. It’s not safe to go home.”
“Then stay at my house. It’s not like you haven’t been to my house before.”
“But…” Qin Xi hesitated.
“Aiya, no buts. Please. The final exam is coming soon. If I mess it up, my mother will definitely nag me to death. Xi, you don’t want your deskmate to die young, right? We’re best friends. If you don’t help me, I might as well die.”
“Please ~” Jiang Li began to wheedle.
Qin Xi coughed awkwardly and stole a glance at her parents watching television on the sofa. “Um, I have to ask my mother first. Wait a moment.”
Qin Xi’s parents looked at her the moment she entered and roughly understood what was going on. Qin Xi’s mother asked, “Is Jiang Li asking you to tutor her?”
Qin Xi scratched her head and said in embarrassment, “Yes, the exam is coming soon, so she asked me to go to her house to tutor her for three days…”
“Then go. When you are at her house, remember not to be too unruly. Don’t stay up too late at night and get up early in the morning.” Mrs. Qin stood up and asked, “When do you plan to go?”
“Tomorrow after class,” Qin Xi said.
“Alright, I’ll help you pack up. You probably need two nightgowns and a change of underwear and socks. Oh, and toiletries…” Mrs. Qin nagged as she walked into Qin Xi’s bedroom.
Qin Xi was speechless. “Mom, there’s no need to prepare so much stuff. Jiang Li has everything. Just prepare a nightgown.”
The next day, Qin Xi and Bodyguard A took a plane to the capital. An hour later, the plane landed.
The closer they got to the Hong family, the more nervous the bodyguard became. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and hesitated for a moment before finally mustering his courage to say, “Uh, Miss Qin, actually…”
“Are you trying to say that with your status, you are not allowed to see the butler at all?” Because of the spiritual connection with the bodyguard, Qin Xi knew what he was thinking.
The bodyguard smiled in embarrassment. “Yes, I’m just an insignificant bodyguard.”
The bodyguard asked in shock, “Are you really going to give this to them?”
Although he did not know why Qin Xi insisted on seeing the butler, since she had already said so, he would do as she said. In any case, his life was in her hands and he had no room to refute.
Soon, they arrived at the Hong family’s old residence.
When Qin Xi saw the Hong family’s old residence, she finally understood what a real big family was like.
Previously, she had also been to the Yin family’s stronghold in the deep mountains. It was extremely spectacular, but it was nothing compared to the old residence of the Hong family.
