Chapter 156: Zhouzhou’s Origins
Before the words were finished, Qin Lie glanced at him with a cold look, causing the Ancestral Master’s heart to tremble with fear.
Damn, was this kid made of ice in his previous life?
The unfinished words froze in his throat.
Qin Lie withdrew his gaze, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to him, saying calmly, “Please have a seat, Ancestral Master.”
His attitude was quite polite.
He changes his expression so quickly.
The Ancestral Master grumbled and sat down, thinking about what happened just now. He made a light snort, “I’m an old man, easily scared. If I were frightened and accidentally blurted something out in front of Zhouzhou… I can’t imagine what would happen.” No wonder he was scared.
Once again, before he could finish his words, Qin Lie’s actions interrupted him.
But this time, it wasn’t with his eyes.
It was with a bank card.
The Ancestral Master took a quick glance and knew instantly how much money was stored in it. The number was so long that he couldn’t count it all at once.
Qin Lie said, “This is my main card, with no spending limit. Ancestral Master, take as much as you need.”
Hearing this, the Ancestral Master swallowed his saliva, reached out his hand sneakily, and at the same time, kept an eye on Qin Lie’s reaction. Seeing that he didn’t regret his offer, he quickly took the card. He cleared his throat and apologized silently to Zhouzhou in his heart.
There was no way around it. Blame her father for giving too much. He couldn’t refuse it.
However, he was also curious about one thing.
“Why don’t you tell Zhouzhou that the Ye family boy is her father?”
“How should I say it?” Qin Lie looked up at him, a hint of frustration appearing in his eyes for the first time. He sighed, suppressed his emotions, and said in a low voice, “I have no idea what happened to Ye Lingfeng in the past few years, what he is doing now, and what his current identity is. How can I tell Zhouzhou?”
When Zhouzhou first came to the Qin family, he had investigated her biological parents and was shocked by the results. Zhouzhou’s biological father turned out to be Ye Lingfeng, the playboy from the Ye family who was imprisoned five years ago for attempted murder.
At that time, he thought Ye Lingfeng would never appear, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. There was no need to tell her about someone she might never meet in her life.
However, fate had other plans. Ye Lingfeng did appear, and he even moved in next door, gradually getting more involved with Zhouzhou.
Although he was initially worried that Ye Lingfeng might take Zhouzhou away, now he was more concerned about whether he would bring danger to Zhouzhou.
So after seeing him injured by a gunshot last time, he asked him about it. When he heard his answer, he gave up the idea of telling Zhouzhou everything.
If Ye Lingfeng could bring danger to Zhouzhou, he would rather she never knew who her biological father was.
Call him selfish or overbearing, he didn’t care.
He just wanted Zhouzhou to grow up well, healthy and happy.
Listening to his words, the Ancestral Master couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. Qin Lie, this guy, was a bit dog-like, not very human, cunning, and always loved taking advantage of him, but when it came to Zhouzhou, there was nothing to criticize about his thoughts. He had indeed considered everything comprehensively.
Looking at him, the Ancestral Master said, “Rest assured, I won’t tell Zhouzhou.”
Anyway, he didn’t plan to say anything in the first place. He just wanted to extort some money with this secret.
Now that he had the money, he didn’t mind making a statement with Qin Lie.
However, it was necessary to invite him to take credit so that he wouldn’t hold a grudge. If he took his card now and a few days later the storm passed, he instigated Zhouzhou to expose him, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Based on his understanding of him, he was capable of doing such despicable things.
So he said with pride, “That girl who played with Zhouzhou today also knows a bit of mystical knowledge. She almost figured out the relationship between Zhouzhou and the Ye family boy. Luckily, I acted quickly and concealed their bloodline connection. Otherwise, it would have been discovered.”
Wen Jing was not someone he could buy with money anymore.
After saying that, the Ancestral Master hummed lightly, crossed his legs, straightened his back, and glanced at him with a look of “You should come and thank me now.”
Seeing this, Qin Lie cooperatively said, “Thank you, Ancestral Master.”
His obedience made the Ancestral Master feel a little uneasy.
He put his leg down, cleared his throat, and said, “You’re welcome. In any case, Zhouzhou is also a member of our Sanqing Temple, and I will prioritize her safety. That Ye family boy is as dangerous as the Blood Slaughter. It’s best for Zhouzhou to stay away from him.”
“Okay.” Qin Lie nodded, “Thank you, Ancestral Master, for your understanding.”
He was unusually polite today.
Although the Ancestral Master had imagined this scene in his mind a long time ago and thought about how he wouldn’t be affected by it, seeing him like this still made him feel a bit restless.
He was always worried that Qin Lie would start talking about how difficult it was for him.
When the Ancestral Master was still alive, his master often said that he had gone through countless hardships to raise him, even if he met his family in the future, he must never forget him.
He was feeling a bit stressed from listening to all of that. When he saw Qin Lie about to speak, he immediately stood up and floated away, “I have something else to do, I’ll go first.”
After speaking, he hurriedly left.
Qin Lie watched his figure and slowly withdrew his gaze.
He felt a headache when he thought about Zhouzhou’s origins almost being exposed.
He didn’t know if keeping it a secret was the right thing to do, but for now, until he confirmed Ye Lingfeng’s true identity, he couldn’t peace of mindfully tell Zhouzhou about this matter.
He just hoped that Ye Lingfeng’s actions wouldn’t be too dangerous.
He sat in the study until dawn, and when he saw Zhouzhou about to wake up, he returned to his room.
Sure enough, not long after, he heard the sound of the door opening.
He closed his eyes and didn’t need to look to guess the scene at this time.
At this moment, her little head must have peeked in first.
Good, he heard the footsteps.
Zhouzhou tiptoed to the bedside, saw that he was still asleep, and was about to leave. Suddenly, her ears twitched, and seeing the curve of his lips, her own small mouth curved as well. She kicked her little short legs a few times and climbed onto the bed, pouncing into his arms. She pinched his nose and said, “Dad is mischievous, pretending to sleep.”
His breathing was interrupted, and Qin Lie slowly opened his eyes, holding her hand in his palm.
He had already washed his face and concealed the exhaustion of a sleepless night. He pretended to have just woken up, casually lifted the blanket, and wrapped the little girl in his arms.
Embracing her soft little body, his nose was filled with the scent of milk from her. Qin Lie’s restless heart gradually calmed down.
“Are you going to refine medicine today?” he asked.
Zhouzhou shook her head, her little head arched against him, and she lazily stretched her small arms and legs, lying on top of him. She nuzzled his neck and said, “I’m not going out today, I’ll stay at home with Dad.”
Dad frowned yesterday, probably because she didn’t play with him.
Grandma said Dad is jealous, and he can be really jealous.
Dad is so good to her, she can’t neglect him.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Lie understood her thoughts.
As he touched her little head, he felt a sense of contentment in his heart.
At this moment, he had to admit his own dark thoughts.
Sometimes, he just didn’t want her to recognize Ye Lingfeng and didn’t want to lose her.
But he didn’t know if, one day, if he couldn’t keep it a secret anymore and Zhouzhou learned the truth, would she blame him…
