Chapter 998 Living At The Long Clan
Long Xiao was sitting in the living room drinking flower tea. When she saw Qin Se, she quickly invited her to sit down. “Miss Qin, I was just thinking of asking you to come over for a chat. I just came home, so I’m not familiar with the people here. I didn’t expect you to come over.”
“The Leader of Long Clan dotes on Miss Long very much. You’ll get to know him better after spending more time with him.” Qin Shu saw that Long Xiao was wearing a handmade Miao Xin dress. The material of the dress was luxurious, and the colorful embroidery was very exquisite, she praised, “The dress that Miss Long is wearing today is very beautiful. It matches your aura very well.”
Long Xiao lowered her head to look at her new dress. Her face was full of joy. “Grandpa had someone specially make this for me. Grandpa said it’s gorgeous.” Qin Shu smiled and praised, “It’s indeed very beautiful. With Miss Long’s aura, anything you wear will look good.”
Long Xiao picked up the bamboo tube in front of her. It was about as wide as a bowl and had a stopper at the top. Long Xiao pulled out the stopper and took two cups from the tray. After filling them up, she picked up one of the cups and placed it in front of Qin Se, “Miss Qin, try this. My grandfather just sent someone over and said that he brewed it himself.”
Qin Shu lowered her head and looked at the cup in front of her. It was also made of bamboo and matched with the bamboo tube. She picked up the cup with some hesitation.
After Long Xiao put down the bamboo tube, she couldn’t wait to pick up the cup in front of her and put it to her mouth to drink. Her action was very graceful and elegant.
Long Xiao took a few sips. “It’s really delicious. Please try it, Miss Qin.”
Qin Shu raised her eyes to look at Long Xiao. Seeing that she was drinking again, she brought it to her mouth and took a sip. It tasted sweet and really delicious. She took a few more sips.
“If Miss Qin likes the drink, you can have some more. Grandpa gave me six of these bamboo buckets.”After drinking, Long Xiao poured herself another cup. She raised her head and looked at Qin Se. “Why don’t you move into the Long Manor, Miss Qin? It will be more convenient to discuss business plans with my uncle.”
Qin Shu stopped drinking and raised her eyes to look at Long Xiao. She moved the cup in her hand away and smiled. “The Long Manor is certainly more comfortable than the hotel, but I can’t stay in the Miao Capital for long. I’m afraid I’ll be a disturbance.”
“How can that be? You can chat with me when you stay in the Long Manor. It’s also convenient to talk to my uncle. I’ll let my brother and uncle know.”
Long Xiao picked up the phone on the table and dialed Long Qingyue’s phone. It didn’t take long for the call to be connected.
“Uncle, I’ve invited Miss Qin to stay in the Long Manor. This way, she can chat with me, and it’s also very convenient for Uncle to discuss business collaborations with her. What do you think?”
Long Qingyue said, “Of course, but what does Miss Qin think?”
“Miss Qin is drinking at my place. She’s willing to stay for a few days,” Long Xiao replied with a smile.
Long Qingyue said, “That’s good. Shall I ask the butler to arrange a guest room for Miss Qin?”
Qin Shu listened to Long Xiao’s conversation. She had wanted to refuse just now, but on second thought, it was more convenient to see Long Muyan if she stayed at the Long Manor. She could also inquire about the affairs of Long Size’s youngest daughter. Hence, she decided to stay.
After Long Xiao hung up the phone, Butler Fu came not long after. “Please follow me, Miss
Qin.”
Qin Shu stood up and said to Long Xiao, “Let’s chat again when you have time, Long Xiao.” Then she looked at the butler. “Sorry to trouble you, Butler Fu.”
“Miss Qin, you’re most welcome.” The butler walked in front to lead the way.
Qin Shu strode forward to follow.
Long Xiao watched Qin Se’s back as she left. She raised her cup and took a few more sips.
The guest room that the Butler had prepared for Qin Shu was to the southwest. It was still some distance away from Long Xiao’s Poria cocos.
“Miss Qin, there are maids outside the courtyard. If you need anything, just let me know.” after Butler Fu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Qin Shu glanced at the guest room. There was a private bathroom, a large hardwood bed, and an extremely large window. Outside the window was a small balcony, and below the balcony was a garden. The environment of the guest room was very good.
Ye Luo waited in the hotel for a long time and didn’t see Qin Shu return, so he called her.
“Madam Fu, are you still in the Long Manor?”
Qin Shu: “Yes, I’m staying in the Long Manor now. You can stay at the hotel. How’s the investigation going?” “Long Xiao was brought back from the outside by Yang Jin and his father. They brought her back because they suspected that she was a member of the Long Clan. It’s confirmed that she is Long Size’s granddaughter. She seems to have been brought back by sea,” Ye Luo said.
“By sea?”
“Yes. Because Yang Jin and his father had gone out to sea two months ago,” Ye Luo said.
A trace of doubt flashed in Qin Shu’s eyes. If Fu Tingyu and Yan Shuang fell into the river, the river was connected to the sea. It was possible that the turbulent river water would lead into the sea.
Did that mean that Long Xiao was Yan Shuang?
Qin Shu hung up the phone and went to look for Long Xiao. She wanted to ask her what was going on, whether someone was forcing her, or other reasons.
When she arrived at Poria cocos, she saw Long Xiao sitting on a grand armchair. She was reading a book in her hand. Her posture was elegant and graceful, and she looked as if she was enjoying her current life very much.
Qin Shu suppressed her impulsiveness.
Long Xiao raised her eyes and saw Qin Se walking in. She warmly greeted, “Miss Qin, you’re here. Come and sit.” Qin Shu looked at the joyfulness on Long Xiao’s face. It didn’t seem like she was faking it at all. She strode over to sit opposite Long Xiao She still couldn’t believe that the person sitting in front of her was Yan Shuang.
Long Xiao picked up the bookmark from the coffee table and put it into the book before closing it. She then placed the book on the table before asking Qin Se, “Why have you come over, Miss Qin?”
Qin Shu thought of Long Muyan and said, “When I first came to the Dragon Manor, I got to know Long Muyan from the Heavy Wood Courtyard. I asked the Butler to meet him twice, but I didn’t see him. Can you help me, Miss Long?”
At the mention of Long Muyan, a hint of unwillingness appeared on long Xiaoxiao’s fair face. She lowered her eyes slightly and said, “My brother has a strange personality. I didn’t dare to get too close to him. Do Miss Qin and my brother get along well?”
Qin Shu took in Long Xiao’s frightened expression and said, “We don’t get along well. I see that he doesn’t know how to speak up and only minds his own business. It’s as if he has locked himself up. It’s a little pitiful.”
“Is Miss Long afraid of him?” Her voice was filled with doubt.
Long Xiao looked up at Qin Se and nodded. “Since Miss Qin wants to meet my brother. I can inform Uncle.”
“Thank you, Miss Long.” Qin Shu thanked her with a smile.
Long Xiao went to look for Long Qingyue. Qin Shu didn’t wait for long before Long Xiao came back and said, “Miss Qin, my uncle promised you to see my brother. Let Tao’er lead you.”
She instructed, “Tao’er, bring Miss Qin to visit my brother.”
Tao’er was a brilliant girl Long Qingyue had hired to take care of Long Xiao’s daily life. “Thank you, Miss Long.”
Qin Shu thanked her and followed Tao’er out.
After walking out of Poria cocos, they went to the warehouse after a few twists and turns.
Qin Shu glanced at the warehouse in front of her. She did not expect Long Muyan to be still locked up here and thought they would change his enviroment.
Tao’er said to the two guards, “The Second Master has given permission.”
When the two guards heard this, they opened the warehouse door and let them in.
