In the military compound.
Because of their status, the Wan family lived in a place that symbolized power. Here, any one of them had a pivotal position in Luoping City.
Therefore, if one wanted to enter the compound, they had to undergo a strict pat-down search. No matter who it was, even Wan Jiuyang was no exception.
After layers of scrutiny, the car slowly entered the compound.
At this moment, in the living room of the Wan family, Wan Shiyue was tasting the tea he made with a serious expression. He frowned and was dissatisfied with the taste.
When he heard the sound of a car approaching outside, he put down his teacup and smiled happily. “Miss Qin, you are finally here. You really had me waiting for a long time.”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Wan. I was delayed because of some private matters. But don’t worry, it’s not difficult to treat your illness. In less than 20 minutes, I promise to give you a healthy body.”
When Wan Shiyue heard that, he laughed heartily and nodded. “Thank you, Miss Qin.”
Qin Xi, Deng Xinhe, and Wan Jiuyang walked into the house together and greeted Wan Shiyue. “Hello, Mr. Wan. I didn’t have the time to introduce myself yesterday. My name is Qin Xi.”
In front of the elders, Deng Xinhe wasn’t as frivolous. He greeted respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Wan. My name is Deng Xinhe.”
When Wan Shiyue saw the two of them, he recalled the magnificent fight last night. To be honest, he had not fought for a long time.
Although he did not have enough fun, he still felt that getting to know the two of them made the trip last night worthwhile.
“Alright, make yourself at home. Take a seat. Also, don’t call me Mr. Wan. Just call me Grandpa Wan.”
Actually, after returning last night, he had sent someone to investigate the two of them.
He did not expect Deng Xinhe to be a direct heir of the Deng family in the capital. Although the Deng family was at most a second-rate family in the capital and Deng Xinhe had escaped to Luoyang City because of a crime, the power of the Deng family was not to be underestimated.
What surprised him the most was probably Qin Xi’s background.
It was hard to imagine how she managed to survive so many years of abuse by her family.
Even Wan Shiyue, an outsider, felt upset and hated the Qin family to the core.
The only good thing was that Qin Xi didn’t go astray. Otherwise, her life would be over.
Qin Xi smiled and sat opposite the old man with Deng Xinhe.
When her gaze landed on the tea set on the table, a strange look flashed across her eyes, but no one noticed it.
She asked, “Grandpa Wan, do you like tea too?”
Wan Shiyue raised his eyebrows. “You know how to make tea?”
Qin Xi smiled faintly and said, “To be honest, my family grows tea, so I’m very sensitive to the fragrance of tea. Besides, I often make tea for my grandpa, so I know one thing or two about making tea.”
Wan Shiyue nodded and pushed the tea set in front of her with interest. “Do you mind making me a cup?”
Qin Xi said with a smile, “Of course not.”
With that, she picked up the teapot and started to make tea.
Qin Xi’s movements were smooth and graceful, as if making tea was a day-to-day thing for her.
Under the gaze of the three of them, a pot of tea was made. In an instant, a faint fragrance of tea filled the living room, making those who smelt it felt at ease.
Wan Shiyue and Wan Jiuyang gasped. The father and son were both people who knew how to make tea. They often practiced making tea, but they could not reach Qin Xi’s level.
Picking up the cup in front of him, Wan Shiyue took a sip.
