Chapter 10 The Arrival Of Mr. Jiang
Upon hearing this, Li Yuying, who was having her meal, was taken aback, looking at Mengmeng in astonishment. Qin Ye also gazed at Mengmeng in disbelief, a glimmer of happiness shining in his eyes if observed closely. Nevertheless, Mengmeng still held a deep affection for him!
He didn't seek approval from Mengmeng. As long as Mengmeng didn't dislike him as an uncle and was willing to have him around, that was sufficient!
"Mengmeng, don't compare your uncle to that despicable man. He is not even a fraction as good as your uncle. In the future, you are forbidden to mention him in front of your uncle!"
After uttering these words, Li Yuying lowered her head and nibbled on her steamed bun, a tinge of sadness evident in her eyes, tears slowly trickling down. Her family did not deserve the exceptional Qin Ye!
If it weren't for their daughters' relationship, how could Qin Ye suddenly appear in their home? Soon, Qin Ye would depart; he wouldn't linger here for long.
"Mengmeng, if you're willing, I... I can be your father!"
Qin Ye expressed this with utmost courage. For whatever reason, as long as Mengmeng agreed to call him dad, he would have no regrets!
"No."
In the hopeful eyes of Qin Ye, Mengmeng gently shook her head and stated, "I will only call that man daddy if my mom consents. If I call you daddy without her approval, she will be upset. She is not foolish. I firmly believe that my mom will soon recover and become that exceptional woman again."
Stunned! Upon hearing this, Qin Ye stood motionless, a hint of disappointment visible in his eyes. However, he swiftly composed himself and smiled, "Mengmeng, Uncle was just teasing you."
"Uncle, I'm serious. If you can gain my mom's approval, I truly want you to be my dad."
Mengmeng appeared serious, gazing at Qin Ye and remarked, "The more I detest that despicable man, the more I admire you. You are truly kind."
"Alright, then... Uncle will do his best," Qin Ye said with a bitter expression.
On the side, Li Yuying felt perplexed. Despite her daughter's beauty, she possessed the intellect of a five-year-old and also had a nine-year-old daughter. Would a man as exceptional as him be interested in this type of woman? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Suddenly, Li Yuying became wary. Why did this man visit her home? Was it to steal her designs? Or perhaps, to extract information from her daughter?
With these thoughts in mind, Li Yuying grew anxious and glanced at Qin Ye, inquiring tentatively, "Dr. Qin, how are the design drawings?"
"I have found a buyer!"
After Qin Ye casually mentioned a few words, he promptly retrieved his bank card from his pocket and handed it to Li Yuying, saying, "Auntie, you can hold onto this money for now. When I sell the design drawings, you can return it to me, alright?"
"Okay, thank you. I will repay you with the money." Li Yuying agreed without hesitation.
She was unsure of Qin Ye's intentions for visiting. As long as there was money, she would hold onto it first. For her, transforming her daughter and Mengmeng's lives was paramount.
Observing the other party accept the bank card, Qin Ye felt pleased yet somewhat melancholic. He was providing financial support to his daughter! And he had to do it in the form of a loan.
...
The following afternoon, Qin Ye was at home enjoying a playful moment with Jiang Nian, constructing blocks, when the phone rang.
"Hello!" Qin Ye answered.
"It's Jiang Tao," the voice on the other end stated.
Upon hearing this name, the smile on Qin Ye's face instantly faded. He glanced at Jiang Nian, quietly made his way to the balcony, and said, "Let's meet and discuss. I want to sell the design drawings as soon as possible."
"Mr. Qin, I have a question. You are my cousin's bodyguard, so why are you secretly selling design drawings?"
It was evident that Jiang Tao was a cautious individual, and his tone was unsettling.
The sudden sale of such crucial design drawings seemed suspicious to him, and he needed to handle it delicately.
"You have too many questions."
Qin Ye replied coldly, "I sold it to you because your secretary approached me and mentioned it casually. Remember, you are not the only buyer. Think carefully before contacting me again. I don't want to waste my time on you!"
Without hesitation, he ended the call.
Instead of returning to the room immediately, Qin Ye lit a cigarette and stood silently on the balcony, waiting for Jiang Tao's call.
As expected, the phone rang before he finished smoking the cigarette.
Seeing the caller ID, Qin Ye smiled slightly. Everything was going according to his plan. However, he didn't answer the call right away. He lit another cigarette and gazed out of the window.
After finishing the cigarette, the other party had called five times.
And even sent two text messages!!
This guy was becoming anxious.
Qin Ye put out the cigarette and answered the phone, "Sorry, I was in the bathroom and missed your call."
"It's fine, Mr. Qin!" Jiang Tao's tone was respectful now, a stark contrast to before. He didn't ask anything else and got straight to the point, "Mr. Qin, shall we meet tonight?"
"Send the details to my phone." Qin Ye hung up.
Shortly after, the time and location were sent. It was a private villa in the suburbs, which made Qin Ye smile, reaching for the dagger in his pocket, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes: Tonight, you're finished!!
Meanwhile!
In a private villa in the suburbs.
After the call, Jiang Tao smashed the red wine glass on the ground, the sound echoing through the villa.
"Master Jiang, what's wrong?" Huang Yuan rushed in, concerned.
"This kid has no manners." Jiang Tao was humiliated by Qin Ye not answering his call.
"I've seen him, he's truly arrogant!"
Thinking of Qin Ye's insult, Huang Yuan's eyes flared with anger.
"Arrogant??? He's just a bodyguard, what's he got to be arrogant about in front of me?"
Jiang Tao looked at Huang Yuan darkly, "Get some people from the company, set up a trap in the villa. Tonight, I want the design drawings and I want that bastard dead!!"
After giving Huang Yuan a meaningful look, Jiang Tao lay on the sofa.
Night fell!!
In the villa courtyard, many people lurked, elite individuals brought in by Jiang Tao.
At that moment, Jiang Tao was enjoying himself with a group of beauties, ignoring Qin Ye.
He had set a trap in the villa for tonight.
If Qin Ye dared to come, he would be doomed.
Liu Dalong, bruised and swollen, entered the villa, "Big brother, everything's set. Over a hundred people and three pistols. He won't stand a chance, hehehe."
Liu Dalong knew about Qin Ye's background and was ready for revenge. He wanted to take down Qin Ye himself.
"Good, take him down immediately and bring him to me!"
There was a murderous look in Jiang Tao's eyes, "You didn't appreciate my offer, now let's see what you're made of."
Gunshots and fighting sounds erupted outside the villa.
