Chapter 221: Meeting the Boss
Du Yi thought of saying a few sharp words in return but was held back by his partner, Wang Wei. Wang Wei rubbed his hands and smiled at Xu Ning, “Hey Brother Ning, it’s just as you said. Brother Ming is definitely fair and just, Du Yi is just tired and spouting nonsense.”
How could Xu Ning not see Wang Wei’s intent? He patted Wang Wei on the shoulders and gave him a jovial smile, “You’ve both worked hard. Please persevere for a little while more and you can rest when the sun comes up.”
With that, Xu Ning was no longer bothered about Du Yi and brought Qin Yi and Wei Liao into the stronghold.
Qin Yi followed silently, continuing to listen to Du Yi and Wang Wei’s conversation.
“Why did you pull me? That Xu Ning can’t even see what he’s like every day, with his nose facing up to the sky and looking down on everyone else.”
“Ok, ok, but you need to cool down. He’s being protected by Brother Ming, so what can you do? Do you really want to go against Brother Ming?”
Upon the mention of Brother Ming, Du Yi stopped talking.
Qin Yi’s eyes gleamed. It seemed like Brother Ming was not one to be provoked.
Xu Ning brought Qin Yi to a small clay house, telling her, “Stay here first and have a good rest. When you wake up, I’ll bring you to meet the boss.”
Qin Yi nodded her head obediently and looked at Xu Ning pitifully, “Uncle, you must definitely come and find me.”
Xu Ning smiled and promised her, then turned and left alongside Wei Liao, who was reluctant to leave.
Upon entering the house, Qin Yi’s aura immediately changed. Her exceptionally beautiful phoenix eyes held a secret smile. She walked over to the brick bed, sitting nearby to touch it, realizing that it was actually hot.
Although it was a simple and crude clay house, it was very interesting. Qin Yi’s eyes darkened upon this realization.
She stretched out, laying down on the brick bed and going to sleep.
A knock on the door woke Qin Yi up. She opened her eyes, instantly revealing a clarity that made it appear as though she had not slept.
Xu Ning’s voice came out from outside the door, asking her, “Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, are you awake?”
Qin Yi squinted her cool phoenix eyes as an adorable voice came out, “Uncle, I’m awake. Give me just a moment, I’ll open the door.”
“Ok, I’ll wait for you,” Xu Ning’s voice came out again.
Qin Yi raised her hand and patted her hair, then arranged her tattered and torn clothes to make it seem as though she had just woken up.
The door, which was in fact made out of wooden planks, opened. Xu Ning’s boorish face immediately appeared before her.
“Hey, Jiaojiao, you’re finally awake. Right, these are the clothes and food I’ve prepared for you. Pack up a little and follow me to meet the Boss.”
Qin Yi smiled while accepting the things, but when she returned to her room, the smile disappeared completely.
She clutched onto the thin and white dress that Xu Ning had handed to her with a cold look in her eyes.
Xu Ning waited outside for nearly half an hour. Seeing that there were no movements inside, he could not help but ask, “Jiaojiao, are you ready?”
Just as he said this, the door opened. Xu Ning looked at the person on the other side in complete shock.
Qin Yi’s beautiful face appeared unrecognizable after she had cleaned the dirt off of her face. Dressed in the white dress Xu Ning had prepared for her, Qin Yi looked like an angel.
Qin Yi tapped her fingers together and looked at Xu Ning as though she felt wronged, “Uncle, are there other clothes? This makes me really cold.”
Xu Ning coughed a few times and looked at her apologetically, “Jiaojiao, I really don’t have anything else to give you. But don’t you worry! When you meet Boss, he will definitely give you what you want. Come, let’s go meet him.”
