Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Incoming trouble
“What? Hello? Qingling!?” Luo Yeqing was stunned when she heard the words of her eldest daughter. “What do you mean by those words!?”

“What’s wrong, madam?” Qin Qiu, who was massaging his wife’s shoulders, asked with a charming smile on his face. “Did something happen?”

Luo Yeqing parted her lips to say something but then she thought about it and shook her head. “It’s nothing.” She did not want to repeat such humiliating words to her husband.

More importantly, Luo Qingling had always been a filial and respectful child. Certainly, she must have not meant those words, most probably her eldest daughter was just annoyed at something and nothing else.

But why did she take her anger out on her? Luo Yeqing thought to herself.

Qin Qiu’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. Something did happen and yet Luo Yeqing was saying that nothing happened? In the past she would tell him anything as long as he asked, so why did she suddenly start to keep things from him?

Though Qin Qiu was not happy with Luo Yeqing’s actions of hiding things he continued to smile as he massaged her shoulders and said to her, “Is that so? I thought something serious happened as our daughter hardly ever calls you.”

He did not take the direct approach and tried to wrench the truth out indirectly but Luo Yeqing simply nodded and said to him, “It’s nothing. She was most probably annoyed and wanted someone to help her.”

Luo Yeqing did not go into detail as she did not wish to tell the exact words that Luo Qingling said to Qin Qiu. It was bad enough that one of her daughters was estranged with her, she did not want another to become estranged with her as well.

If she were to tattle tale the words that Luo Qingling said to her, Qin Qiu would definitely scold their daughter for how strict he was with her studies and etiquette.

She couldn’t let that happen lest her daughter started to blame her again.

So instead of continuing with the topic, Luo Yeqing changed it as she asked Qin Qiu, “Did you hand over the business ledgers to Ah Shun? He has been asking for them for a while.”

If Qin Qiu was annoyed earlier, it was nothing compared to what he felt now. While standing behind Luo Yeqing, he glared at her with a dark look on his face.

Since when did Luo Yeqing start to worry about Ye Shun so much? She had been questioning him like a criminal these days. It was as if she thought that he was thinking of never returning the ledger to Ye Shun. He was —but Luo Yeqing did not know that which was why she should have trusted him.

“There are some little issues,” Qin Qiu made up an excuse and said to Luo Yeqing in an attempt to put off handing the ledgers to Ye Shun. “I will have the company correct it and then send it to him…”

Qin Qiu was still speaking when his phone suddenly rang. He jumped at the sudden disturbance and pulled his phone out of his pocket. However when he saw the number displayed on his screen — he furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction.

‘Why is she calling me? Did I not tell her not to call me unless it was really important?’ Qin Qiu thought as he pondered whether to answer the call or not.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Yeqing turned around and looked at her husband who was not picking up the call. “Why are you not answering the call?”

Qin Qiu jumped a little as he was startled by Luo Yeqing’s sudden question but then he smiled at her and said, “It’s nothing, it is just my assistant. I told her to not call me today as I am taking a day off but now she is calling me. Seriously, it seems to me that this company just cannot function without me.”

He pretended to be a perfect boss despite the fact that he had hardly gone to the company and only went to gamble in bars and pubs whenever he left the house, this was one of the reasons why he did not want to hand over the ledgers to Ye Shun.

The business was currently in debt, if that mer was to find out the truth, he would definitely bring it in front of Luo Yeqing.

“Then you should pick up,” said Luo Yeqing. “It must be important or else she would not have called you.”

Qin Qiu smiled apologetically and stepped aside. “I will return in a jiffy, please wait for me.”

After speaking, he turned on his feet and then headed to the side of the office where he answered the call in a cold voice, “What is the matter with you? Did I not tell you not to call me unless it is important, Qin Feng?”

Qin Feng was his niece, the daughter of his half-brother. He had allowed her to work in the company not only because his father was being a pain in his bottom but also because he wanted to feel a tad bit superior to his brother who got pregnant and ended up getting duped by his girlfriend.

“….” Qin Feng responded from the side and the second Qin Qiu finished listening, the phone in his hands almost slipped from his hands and fell on the floor.

“What did you say? How did it happen?” Qin Qiu asked with a trembling voice and when he heard Qin Feng’s response, his eyes rolled back in his sockets and he nearly fainted.

How dare that bastard!

Qin Feng spoke another string of hurried words and Qin Qiu narrowed his eyes before saying, “I got it.”

“I know… I heard it the first time you said it. Just hold him there for me, I am coming.”

Qin Qiu ended the call as he turned to look at Luo Yeqing who was staring at him bewilderedly. He smiled at her while suppressing the panic in his heart and said, “I need to go to the company.”
