Chapter 608: Chapter 603: He’s Gone
After Li Dabao dropped them off at Xiao Qi’s place, he helped load their luggage into Xiao Qi’s car.
“Boss, sister-in-law, are these my two nephews?” Xiao Qi asked, looking at Chu Molin and Qin Xue.
“Stupid question.” Chu Molin wanted nothing to do with this blockhead.
“Boss, I just asked a question, what’s with the disdain?” Xiao Qi helplessly looked at Chu Molin’s contemptuous expression and asked in silence.
“You had to ask.” Chu Molin kicked him, Xiao Qi dodged quickly.
He’d be shedding tears if he got kicked by his boss, the guy’s kicks could kill.
“Let’s get in the car. We’ve been waiting for you for quite some time. Speaking of which, boss, what were you doing? Why are you so late?” Xiao Qi knew his boss was usually punctual. This kind of mistake should not happen.
Qin Xue was dumbfounded. Fang Hong had asked her this earlier, and now Xiao Qi asked the same. It seems like today they couldn’t escape this question.
“Just drive, stop the chit chat,” Chu Molin glared at him, couldn’t he see that his wife was already quite embarrassed?
“Boss, not cool. You’re late, but we’re not allowed to ask?” Xiao Qi voiced his dissatisfaction.
“Well, sorry. I overslept and held things up,” Qin Xue spoke up shyly.
“Ah, haha, hehe, we can’t blame our sister-in-law. It’s normal for a woman to sleep in,” Xiao Qi didn’t expect the delay was because of Qin Xue. He felt so awkward that he didn’t know how to react.
Chu Molin gave Xiao Qi a look as if he were an idiot.
Xiao Qi felt truly wronged. How was he to know the delay was due to this reason? But his boss was really too indulgent of his sister-in-law. He broke his usual punctuality just so she could have a good sleep.
If Xiao Qi knew why Chu Molin broke this principle, he would surely disdain him.
“Boss, sister-in-law, you’re all seated now,” Xiao Qi reminded them, and then began driving.
In a place they can’t see, pairs of resentful eyes stared at their departing car, “You wait and see. If I can’t have it, neither can you.”
During the journey, Xiao Qi and Chu Molin took turns driving.
“Xue’er, if you’re tired, lean on me and take a nap, I’ll hold Da Ha,” Chu Molin said softly to his yawning wife.
“No need. You should rest for a while. You’ll have to drive later. We can’t risk driving while tired. Our safety depends on the driver,” Qin Xue was thinking about how many people died from fatigued driving in the modern world. They couldn’t make that mistake.
“Okay,” Chu Molin didn’t say what he originally intended to, and only replied with an “okay,” then closed his eyes to rest.
Xiao Qi looked at them from the rearview mirror, wondering where that carless woman was and what she was doing.
The woman Xiao Qi was thinking of was currently straightening out affairs within her family.
“Miss, these are the documents showing the secondary elder’s family embezzled public funds from the group,” Feng handed a stack of documents to Chu Beiying, or as she now should be called: Nangong Beiying.
“Miss, these are the files of descendants from various noble families and their ladies,” Yun also gave Nangong Beiying a stack of documents.
“Miss, these are the medicinal herbs you wanted,” Lei put a bag of herbs in front of Nangong Beiying.
“Miss, there’s still no news about the eldest young master,” Rain spoke with some dejection. She was best at locating people, but why couldn’t she find a single clue?
Their young master seemed to have completely vanished from the mortal world, without leaving a trace.
