Chapter 5539: Chapter 5539: Efficient

"Not only does my wife need to look into this properly, but I also need to think carefully," he reasoned, "where I could have heard this name before. I must have heard it, otherwise, it wouldn’t sound so familiar."

Discussing this further seemed pointless to Qin Dingkang, as his wife, with her intelligence, would certainly know what to do after a few suggestive questions from him.

Taking someone else’s word for it was not the wisest move.

Thus, Qin Dingkang offered reassurance, "Alright, on this early New Year’s morning, let’s not talk about such things. It wouldn’t be good if Old Madam heard us. I believe that, perhaps, there is some misunderstanding on your part, maybe there are other undisclosed matters that you’re unaware of."

Playing the field with three at once? His wife was one to follow the wind, echoing others’ sentiments.

Both of their son’s peers from the Xia and Li families were not easily fooled, and Old Man Xia’s grandson Li Jinnian, a young man who had survived coming out of the ’wolf’s den’ unhurt, was not someone you could fool with tricks, could you?

If Miss Ye was truly as unworthy as his wife claimed, it was possible for one person to be deceived, but utterly unlikely for everyone to be duped.

There must be some hidden details that they were unaware of.

"There can’t possibly be any hidden details; it’s nothing more than the facts we see with our own eyes," Madam Qin muttered, growing increasingly convinced of Ye Jian’s malice. Her husband had not even met Ye Jian, so why was he consistently taking her side?

"Come, let’s wash up and head downstairs, but let’s not bring up this matter later," Ambassador Qin, not wanting to dwell on the issue with Madam Qin, stepped into the bathroom first but could not resist giving her a reminder beforehand, "Since Old Madam likes her, we should at least show some semblance of agreement."

"If the person really is as despicable as you say, then you should investigate first and present the evidence to Old Madam. That’s the proper way to handle it. Don’t rely solely on hearsay without understanding the full story; that would be disadvantageous and could make you disliked."

"I understand," Madam Qin retorted with a lift of her eyelid and a tone lacking enthusiasm. Of course, she was clear about what matters were more important. She couldn’t let that girl ruin the family’s mood so early in the morning.

Yet she still needed to warn her mother-in-law. What if she brought up the matter during the New Year celebrations?

She wondered whether that girl was still staying with the Fu family. Perhaps she could expose her true self when they went to the Fu family for a New Year’s visit.

That seemed like a good idea; it would also allow Old Man Xia and Li Jinnian to see Ye Jian’s sinister motives. As she thought, Madam Qin already had a plan forming in her mind.

Starting such a thing on the first day of the New Year wasn’t ideal, but she could not stand by and watch Old Man Xia and the Li family’s child be deceived. A short pain was preferable to a prolonged one.

Madam Qin made up her mind and fixed her makeup before descending the stairs with her husband, Qin Dingkang.

On this early New Year’s morning, Old Master Qin was also assisted out of his room and down the stairs. The whole family gathered warmly for breakfast, with Sun Xueqing also in attendance. He had been accepted by the Qin family in just a few days, and just last night, Old Madam had even urged, planning on when to hold a wedding.

Qin Ying directly pulled out the cherished household registration book she had stealthily taken from home, slammed it down on the table with immense pride, and announced, "We can get married at any time. As soon as the New Year is over and he returns to his unit, he will immediately file a marriage application. Once they investigate our ancestors 18 generations back, we can get married."

Sun Xueqing was stunned by his girlfriend’s assertiveness, a mouthful of food stuck in his mouth for quite some time before he managed to swallow it.

Marriage, huh? Perhaps... after hearing what his girlfriend said, he should apply immediately upon returning to his unit?
