Chapter 315: The Qin Family Finds Qin Chuan

“This… I’m not too sure about it,” Yu Simiao replied. Naturally, Yu Simiao was not as well-informed as Master Zhai. “However, Qin Shixuan from the Qin family has indeed been in Hengyuan City for quite some time.”

It was not easy for him to guess the purpose of Qin Shixuan’s visit to Hengyuan City.

These were the affairs of the Qin family. It was not something that they, the small families in Hengyuan City, could ask about.

“Ahh, they at least have an illegitimate son. Why can’t these two in my family give me an illegitimate son or grandson…”

Master Zhai couldn’t get his mind off this matter.

His thoughts kept coming back to this.

This obsession… It was quite a deep obsession.

Qin Chuan’s dormitory roommates dragged Qin Chuan to sign up for the ‘Zerg Invasion’ tournament with them.

“Qin Chuan, we usually work so hard already! Let’s play in this tournament to have some fun!”

Qin Chuan agreed to their request. It had indeed been quite a long time since he had played a game for fun.

Before, he had played games so he could understand the culture and environment of the industry.

However, back then, he didn’t have the heart to play the games properly. He had to worry about his mother’s illness and also financial issues. This made him focus on dealing with his business.

However, now, their company was growing steadily. His mother’s condition had also stabilized.

As he thought about his mother, Qin Chuan unavoidably thought of Jian Yiling again.

In recent times, whenever he thought about something, he always somehow connected that thought to Jian Yiling.

He had to admit that at first, he had misunderstood Jian Yiling. He thought that she was a timid girl. He also thought that she was just an ordinary underachieving student who was pampered by her family.

However, recently, Jian Yiling’s image in his mind had completely changed.

In fact, whenever he thought of Jian Yiling, the corners of Qin Chuan’s mouth would rise uncontrollably.

Bai Youqian, Qin Chuan’s roommate and business partner who lived in the same dormitory, noticed Qin Chuan’s strange expression.

“Qin Chuan, what’s wrong? Are you in love? Why are you smiling like that? Hehehe…”

“Hey, don’t guess blindly like that. There’s no such thing,” Qin Chuan replied. He decisively dismissed Bai Youqian’s guess.

“Then why are you smiling so happily?”

“My mother’s condition is getting better.”

Qin Chuan instantly made up a very reasonable excuse for his good mood.

However, after a few more minutes, he sent another message to Jian Yiling.

[My mother’s health is in much better condition. I need to properly thank you and Dr. Cheng for your efforts.]

When Qin Chuan had been tutoring Jian Yiling, he had added her as a friend on WeChat.

However, back then, they had basically never sent messages to each other.

But now, because they had to communicate about his mother’s condition in a timely manner, there was much more communication between the two of them.

Of course, Qin Chuan was always the one who initiated the conversations. He typically sent a long message to Jian Yiling. Jian Yiling on the other hand replied with one or two words. At most, it was three words.

This time there was no exception. Qin Chuan received a reply from Jian Yiling that said: [You’re welcome.]

The first thing that came to his mind when he read these words was Jian Yiling’s serious face. Although her face was often serious and deadpan, he couldn’t help but smile as he thought of her.

At this moment, a group of men in suits and uniforms entered Qin Chuan’s dormitory.

When they saw Qin Chuan, their attitude was respectful.

Qin Chuan was both surprised and puzzled by their arrival.

“Young Master Qin, there are some things that we want to confirm with you and your mother. Please come with us on this trip.”
