Chapter 252: Reunion Dinner

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Reunion Dinner

By now, anyone who wasn’t a fool understood.

That room housing the Sun Family was about to become a literal tomb.

A nearly infinite amount of money!

A sum that could never be counted!

But what good was it?

The cramped space inside the room would be completely sealed off, entombed by a wall of cash as solid as concrete.

And those fucking idiots from the Sun Family were trapped behind that wall in a sealed, windowless room.

They began to scream.

The very last wisp of oxygen was being forced out.

The fifth truck!

The sixth truck!

...

Inside the sealed room, the Sun Family’s cries could no longer be heard.

The seventh truck!

The eighth truck!

...

After fifteen truckloads, the sealed room fell completely silent.

Not another bill could be stuffed inside.

"It seems the room was a little too small," Qin Tianxuan remarked lightly.

Everyone watching turned deathly pale, their legs trembling.

Qin Tianxuan pointed toward the sealed room. "It appears the Sun Family isn’t fortunate enough to enjoy this. In that case, consider the money my donation to the Mountain and River District. You," he said, addressing the secretary, "make a plan. Do some good with it."

The secretary, trembling, bowed and agreed.

’So these are the methods of the Night Emperor,’ he thought. ’I’ve truly seen it all now!’

The onlookers all lowered their heads. The more faint-hearted among them had already passed out.

Qin Tianxuan glanced at them, a faint smile playing on his lips.

To the onlookers, however, that smile held all the disdain of a Demon King.

By the time they dared to look up, Qin Tianxuan had already left the Sun Family’s villa and returned directly to the hospital.

Lingsu had already finished examining Ah Xue’s condition and prepared a detailed report.

"Her physical injuries will heal over time, but her psychological trauma will be much harder to overcome," Lingsu said softly. "Ah Xue has been through so much for so long. She won’t be able to adapt to the life of a rich socialite that you have planned for her any time soon."

Qin Tianxuan nodded. "I was planning to give her the Celestial Brocade Financial Group, but now it seems she probably wouldn’t accept it."

Lingsu sighed. "Sir, you’re asking a girl who used to struggle just to eat to take over a massive financial group. For her, that would be a form of torture. It would be better to just keep her by your side and care for her. That way, she can be healthy and happy."

Qin Tianxuan took Lingsu’s hand. "You’re right, I was overthinking things. Thank you for this, Lingsu."

Lingsu pursed her lips. "I booked a table at the Jin City Louwailou Restaurant. I had originally thought about booking the entire place, but I was worried Ah Xue wouldn’t be comfortable with that."

"A livelier atmosphere is better. Weiwei and Niannian are here. Why don’t you join us?"

However, Lingsu still needed to treat the foolish son of the Ding Family, so she couldn’t join them for dinner.

So, Qin Tianxuan prepared to leave the hospital with Ah Xue.

The hospital room was filled with gifts that Lingsu and the others had given Ah Xue: clothes, jewelry, and various home goods.

But Ah Xue didn’t dare accept them, and was even planning to leave wearing her hospital gown.

"These are patient’s clothes, you silly girl."

"Brother Tianxuan, these clothes are perfectly fine. The fabric is nice, and if I wear a jacket, no one will even notice. I don’t dare accept these gifts... I’d be too embarrassed. Once I’m out, I’ll earn some money and buy new clothes myself, okay?"

Qin Tianxuan gently tapped her little nose. "If you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters."

He felt so much guilt toward Ah Xue that he couldn’t help but spoil her rotten.

And so, he draped a jacket over Ah Xue’s shoulders and they left, having all the gifts sent to the First-Grade Myriad Phenomena Villa.

The Jin City Louwailou Restaurant was the most famous local Chinese eatery.

It was the peak of the dinner rush, and the restaurant was bustling with people and steaming with heat.

When Qin Tianxuan and Ah Xue arrived, Han Biwei was already at their table with Niannian.

"Ah, Brother Tianxuan, is that your wife and daughter?"

Xia Xueqing was now on the verge of tears from anxiety. "You didn’t tell me I was going to meet her! I didn’t bring any gifts. This is terrible."

Qin Tianxuan then produced a small paper packet. Inside was the pocket money Ah Xue had managed to save.

"Oh, good! Brother Tianxuan, you brought my savings."

Ah Xue’s eyes lit up. She quickly found a small nearby stall, where she bought a silk scarf for Han Biwei and a plastic hair clip for Niannian.

A pang of sadness hit Qin Tianxuan as he watched.

The scarf was cheap, and the hair clip was the kind of wholesale item that costs a few bucks.

The two gifts together didn’t even cost fifty yuan, but that was half of everything Ah Xue owned. She had truly put her heart into it.

They returned to the main hall of Louwailou Restaurant with the gifts.

Han Biwei had heard about Ah Xue’s story on the way over, and her heart ached for the girl. She came right up to greet them, and upon seeing what Ah Xue was wearing, she couldn’t help but shoot her man a reproachful look. "Little sister Ah Xue doesn’t even have proper clothes. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

Qin Tianxuan, who was holding his daughter and talking to her, gave a wry smile. "Ah Xue didn’t want to change into new clothes."

Han Biwei’s heart went out to the younger girl even more. She took her hand, led her to a seat, and told her to order whatever she wanted.

Ah Xue looked at Han Biwei, who was covered in designer brands, and felt a bit lost. Although she didn’t recognize the specific brands of clothes and jewelry, she could tell at a glance that they were very expensive.

She awkwardly presented her gifts.

’I wonder if she’ll accept such humble gifts?’

To her surprise, Han Biwei loved it. She immediately tied the cheap silk scarf around her neck. "Ah Xue, thank you so much! I absolutely love this color scheme."

’That’s Weiwei for you,’ he thought. ’Not just kind, but thoughtful too.’

Niannian loved the hair clip, too, and in return, she gave one of her own bracelets to her new Aunt Ah Xue.

Qin Tianxuan had been worried, but now he was overjoyed.

The family sat down together and finished ordering. Their warm reunion dinner was about to be served.

Just then, a woman at the next table suddenly cried out, "Look! That girl over there is still in a hospital gown! Wow, and it’s from the central hospital. She doesn’t have something contagious, does she?"
