Chapter 2028: Chapter 2026: Grand Estate

Qin Xiaoyu recognized it at once; this car was a new model, fully domestically produced by Luo Fan’s company, Luo Group, and there were only ten of them.

She remembered that both the Qin Family and the Gu Family had one.

The car belonging to the Qin Family was driven by her big brother, and her sister-in-law drove a custom extended car from Luo Group, resembling a nanny car from decades later.

Because she frequently took the two kids out, the car had to be comfortable and spacious.

Yet here she sat in a car that even her second brother, Qin Yishan, didn’t have.

But she saw it in Yun City.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly; she didn’t believe anyone in Yun City was wealthy enough to use such a car as a taxi, so the only explanation was that it was a private car.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyu directed her gaze towards Fifth Uncle Qi.

He was sitting in the front passenger seat.

As Qin Xiaoyu carefully observed him, she realized how careless she had been. How could this man possibly belong to a poor family, with that aura, that indifferent manner, that naturally exuded privilege from his very core? Qin Xiaoyu deeply realized that things were not as simple as she had imagined, especially since the car wasn’t heading towards the countryside.

Xiao Yu tightly pursed her lips as she sat beside Qi Fangxiu.

Then she turned her head to look at Qi Fangxiu.

She had to admit, when Qin Xiaoyu set aside her preconceived notions and looked at Qi Fangxiu again, she felt a bit startled.

Because Qi Fangxiu was the same at this moment.

She very much wanted to ask what was happening, but the words stopped at her mouth, because Qi Fangxiu’s expression, though calm, was filled with grief.

Yet, his demeanor carried an indescribable nobility.

Why hadn’t she noticed it before?

What was going on?

Right now, Qin Xiaoyu’s heart was filled with countless question marks.

Meanwhile. Gu Qiaoqiao uneasily opened the Mysterious Dragon Box once more.

Because Gu Qiaoqiao knew this was precisely the time the train arrived at Yun City Station.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao saw an automobile navigating the dark night; she recognized it immediately. It was the latest product internally developed by Luo Group, not yet released, with only ten units. The Qin Family and the Gu Family each had one, with the rest given to families with close ties to Luo Group.

This was considered testing.

After all, domestically independent automobile development was currently pioneering, with heavy reliance on foreign parts like the engine, so everyone supported it and constantly provided feedback on issues encountered during use.

Although such cars couldn’t compare to foreign ones now and couldn’t signify wealth, they represented an honor only a select few could possess.

Thus, there was nothing surprising about the Qi Family in Yun City having such a car since Yun City was a bustling metropolis located at the coast with a highly developed economy. As one of the prominent families in Yun City, the Qi Family naturally maintained good relations with the Luo Family, making it understandable for them to have such a car.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao saw Qin Xiaoyu looking contemplative.

From her expression, Gu Qiaoqiao knew this girl was finally starting to think critically, no longer overly engrossed in romance and blind to everything around her.

Her first suspicion must have been about the car because Xiao Yu knew Luo Group’s cars well; this girl loved cars, understood every model inside out, and surely recognized this car’s uniqueness at first glance.

But there was no one else in the car; besides the driver, there was only Qi Fangxiu and Fifth Uncle Qi. Fifth Uncle Qi’s expression remained peculiar, a peculiarity Gu Qiaoqiao also understood.

And the driver stared straight ahead, intensely focused on driving, almost like a robot.

Meanwhile, Qi Fangxiu remained immersed in the grief he had felt on the train. Alas, sometimes one had to admit, although Qi Fangxiu was clever, he remained naive in some aspects.

Had it been Qin Yize, he would’ve likely realized something was off by now.

Gu Qiaoqiao sighed, feeling increasingly confused about the situation.

Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t imagine what the scene would be like then.

Next to her, Qin Yize gently embraced Gu Qiaoqiao, his voice low, evidently suppressing anger, "Since Xiao Yu has realized there’s a problem, her mind will be much more alert."

This impulsive Qin Xiaoyu needed a lesson.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded.

Having a clear mind was good, but it was uncertain whether Xiao Yu would accept it.

Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t sure how Qin Xiaoyu would react, so she kept the Mysterious Dragon Box open, not trusting the situation one bit.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyu’s red lips were tightly pressed together, her hands on her knees clenched tightly. If not for seeing Qi Fangxiu’s painful and sorrowful expression, she would have even wanted to ask for the car to stop.

This car made Qin Xiaoyu doubt Qi Fangxiu’s story about his impoverished family in a remote mountain village; perhaps it was a lie.

But Qin Xiaoyu clung to her last shred of hope, hoping this was simply someone’s car that Fifth Uncle was borrowing.

Even emperors have friends who wear straw sandals; who said poor people’s friends couldn’t be rich?

But Qin Xiaoyu’s mood was far from calm; this explanation couldn’t entirely convince her of anything. Often, people are lenient with themselves and stringent with others.

Qin Xiaoyu was no exception.

She never imagined Qi Fangxiu would deceive her; these past days, her heart was filled with guilt towards Qi Fangxiu, even seeking advice from her sister-in-law. Although their problems were the same, the essence was different.

However, right now, the most important issue was Qi Fangxiu’s grandfather’s condition.

At such a crucial moment, Qin Xiaoyu knew better than to seek out Qi Fangxiu for a confrontation, and things may not be as she had imagined.

Lost in this chaotic thinking, the car stopped before a large gate.

It was now the early hours; the dark night covered the land, the moon concealed behind clouds, making the surroundings pitch black. But this home’s gate appeared very imposing, and although the street lamps lining the path weren’t bright, they were enough for Qin Xiaoyu to see that this wasn’t a poor mountain village farmhouse but a grand estate.

A parapet wall, two meters high, encircled the yard, and judging by its vague silhouette, Qin Xiaoyu knew it wasn’t much different from the Qin Family’s Courtyard.

Then, as if they had been informed in advance, the gate slowly opened, and the car drove inside.
