C11 The Unreasonable Guest!

The next moment, Qin Xiao's response left her a bit speechless.

"My mom's orders, can't say no."

Great, so I have to owe you a favor? She racked her brain and finally, as if recalling something, looked up at Qin Xiao and asked, "Is there a bookstore around here?"

This time, it was Qin Xiao's turn to be puzzled. "There is. You want a book?"

"Yes," Jee Ange replied with a relaxed smile.

He assumed she wanted some classic literature, but when he saw her waving a cookbook at him, he felt a bit exasperated.

Jee Ange offered a valid reason: "Mr. Qin, with this gift, I'll definitely learn to cook better and won't disappoint you again."

Qin Xiao gave her a sidelong glance. Most women would jump at the chance for luxury items, eager to max out a credit card, but this woman chose a $19.80 book! He couldn't tell if she was naive or... just naive.

Thinking this, Qin Xiao couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

At M Company, in a spacious office, Lan Qingyue lounged on a high-end leather sofa, reviewing documents. Without looking up, she asked her assistant, "Did you find out everything?"

The man nodded affirmatively. "Yes, Miss Lan, you have all the information on her."

"Good. You can leave now."

Jee Ange... someone with that background managing to connect with the Qin family? Well, well, I guess I underestimated you, Lan Qingyue thought.

"Bring the limited edition LV bag that Mr. Li sent last time and head to the Qin family," Lan Qingyue instructed her assistant at the door as she stood up.

Meanwhile, at the Qin family home,

"Little Ange, come, try this," Qin's mother called, arranging the tea set and inviting Jee Ange, who was engrossed in her cookbook, to have a cup of tea.

"Thank you, ma'am."

Seeing her happily accept and drink it, Qin's mother quickly asked, "How is it?"

"Mm. It's very good."

Her straightforward answer made Qin's mother smile.

“What does ‘very good’ mean?” Mrs. Qin’s question made Jee Ange a bit embarrassed. She didn’t know the first thing about tea. Should she just make something up? Delicious? Tasty? Forget it, honesty is the best policy.

“Ma’am, honestly, I don’t know much about tea, so…” Seeing her shy demeanor, Mrs. Qin found herself quite fond of Ange, thinking she was truly a straightforward young woman.

With this in mind, Mrs. Qin quickly reassured her, “No worries, no worries. Just drink more, and you’ll get the hang of it.”

“Okay!” Ange nodded quickly.

Just then, the housekeeper came in to report, “Ma’am, Miss Lan is here.”

Mrs. Qin’s face immediately showed some displeasure. Seeing this, Ange thought: Miss Lan? Is it the same Miss Lan from last time? Could she be here for revenge? After all, she left so angry last time. Oh well, let’s hope she’s forgotten all about it.

But Ange guessed right this time. Lan Qingyue was indeed here to “settle the score,” and today wouldn’t be the last time.

“Auntie, Yue has been busy lately, so I’m only now able to visit you. Please don’t be upset.” Lan Qingyue, in her high heels, spoke softly as she walked over and sat down, linking arms with Mrs. Qin.

From the moment she sat down, Mrs. Qin looked impatient, but Qingyue didn’t seem to notice. She continued to cozy up to Mrs. Qin, playfully saying, “Auntie, it’s been so long since I’ve been here. Didn’t you miss me at all?”

Meanwhile, Ange felt a bit relieved for Mr. Qin, who was fortunately out on business today.

“Auntie, Yue brought you a gift.”

“Auntie, this is a limited edition from LV’s new collection this year.”

“Auntie, do you like it?”
