Just as Luo Nanchu walked out of the elevator, someone came up to her with an invitation.
"Ms. Luo, President Qin invites you to a little chat."
Luo Nanchu's jaw tensed slightly as her lovable face instantly cooled a little. She bit back her anger and nodded as she shook the person's hand.
In her own room, Qin Luohuan was waiting for Luo Nanchu.
She had probably only just arrived here as well. She had been chasing after Luo Nanchu when she noticed that Luo Nanchu was heading upstairs, so she had not even changed her attire yet.
Luo Nanchu reached out to close the door.
She then took a step forward and asked in a low, angry voice, "Auntie Qin, why did you bring Ah Lie back?"
Qin Luohuan looked at her and replied, "He wanted to come back. Should I have stopped him?"
"Everyone in Tong City sides with Yin Mobei. Do you think Yin Mobei will let him go once he steps foot here?"
Qin Luohuan's eyes reddened immediately before asking, "Chuchu, do you actually think letting him struggle at death's door overseas is better than being in Tong City?"
Luo Nanchu gazed upon Qin Luohuan's red-rimmed eyes. Her own eyes started to burn as well, and she looked away.
"But you must know that Tong City has totally changed. Living overseas is always better than dying in Tong City."
Qin Luohuan inhaled lightly and walked forward to hold Luo Nanchu's hand.
"Chuchu, how are you now? I saw that you came with Fu Tingyuan—has he been… treating you well?" she asked in a low voice.
Luo Nanchu pursed her lips before nodding and answering, "It's still okay. He's paying for my dad and Little Yi's hospital fees, Yin Mobei hasn't caused trouble for me, and I'm alright here."
Qin Luohuan sighed and said, "That's good then… You don't know it, but Ah Lie wants to come back so badly because he is worried about you."
Luo Nanchu had no words. She felt as if all her guts had been knotted into a ball, and an indescribable feeling washed over her.
Over the past six months, the roller-coaster of life had severely struck both the Luo family and the Qin family at the same time. As a result, they could not help each other out.
Luo Nanchu's face tensed up and could not relax.
Qin Luohuan let out another low sigh and asked, "Chuchu, have you seen Susu?"
Luo Nanchu froze, then nodded and replied, "Yeah, she's quite well."
Qin Luohuan lowered her head and stuffed two tiny bottles into Luo Nanchu's hands before saying, "A few days ago, someone told me that Yin Mobei was looking for a TCM doctor. I'm guessing that Susu's stomach ailments have returned again, so I made this stomach medicine over several nights in a row. If you get the chance, pass these to her."
Luo Nanchu's heart trembled as she gripped the two warm bottles and looked up at Qin Luohuan.
Under these lights, the 50 year old woman looked very old.
Qin Luohuan explained in a low voice, "He's keeping a very close watch on the Qin family, so I'm unable to see her. Chuchu, I'll need to trouble you with this."
With the small bottles in hand, wave after wave of fear crashed against Luo Nanchu's heart. Qin Luohuan's return this time was not a good thing.
"Auntie Qin, I've known Susu for so many years. She wouldn't want her family to meet with any mishaps because of her."
Qin Luohuan lifted up her chin slightly, and her features regained their former pride under the same lights.
In a grave voice, she said, "The women of the Qin family will never be bullied by someone outside the family. Tell Susu that we will be able to bring her home soon."
Her voice was slow, yet extremely heavy. Her tone carried the noble and virtuous character of the Qin family.
Half a year ago, Qin Su's father had been shuanggui'ed and had informed on someone.That someone, according to inside news, was Qin Su's fiancé.
On the night her father had been shuanggui'ed, Yin Mobei brought his people and kidnapped Qin Su from the Qin residence. On that very same night in the Yin residence, he had his way with her.
Since then, the brilliantly gorgeous heiress of the Qin family had not been seen in public.
