CHAPTER 321: CHAPTER 321: YOUR WIFE IS IN TROUBLE

"No problem, I’m just asking to confirm, Miss Li, please don’t think too much." Old Sir Xie said.

Li Qingqing smiled: "It’s okay, it’s right for you to be cautious, after all, these two things are crucial and can’t be fooled away by anyone."

"Wait a moment, I’ll go and look for them. Mingtan, make sure to take good care of Miss Li." Old Sir Xie instructed.

Xie Mingtan nodded, eager to entertain well.

Li Qingqing saw Old Sir Xie leave, and she also breathed a sigh of relief; things were going smoother than she imagined.

However, she didn’t know that Old Sir Xie’s expression changed as soon as he stepped out.

Despite his age, he ran quickly, frightening the butler who followed closely behind.

The butler was afraid the old man might trip and the whole family would suffer.

Fortunately, Old Sir Xie was still quite spry for his age.

Though his running was alarming, he didn’t fall and jogged all the way to Xie Mingyu’s garden.

"Grandpa, at your age, you shouldn’t run like that; aren’t you afraid of falling?"

Xie Mingyu was lounging in a chair, sunbathing.

The warm sunshine made him sleepy.

Shangxue was fanning him nearby, even though the weather was neither cold nor hot, and a fan wasn’t needed.

But Xie Mingyu had the typical ailments of a rich young master; even for show, he had to go all out.

Hearing the door open, he opened his eyes, only to see his grandfather rushing in.

He frowned unhappily.

Lying there, time seemed serene, regardless of external turmoil; it felt he was favored by God, with time frozen at its most beautiful.

However, this tranquility was disrupted by the old man’s frantic intrusion.

With displeasure, Xie Mingyu couldn’t help but scold.

Old Sir Xie laughed heartily, not in the least angered by his beloved grandson’s reproach; instead, he proactively admitted his mistake.

"Our Yu’er is right; it wasn’t wise for me to run too fast and risk falling."

Were Xie Mingtan there, he would be half-dead with anger.

Same as grandsons, why was the disparity so great?

"Grandpa, why are you in such a hurry?" Xie Mingyu sat up.

Shangxue quickly poured him a cup of refreshing tea and another for Old Sir Xie.

But Old Sir Xie waved it away: "I can’t get used to Yu’er’s tea; it’s too bland."

"Yu’er, your wife is in trouble," Old Sir Xie rejected Shangxue’s tea and said solemnly.

"Ye Ningwan? What happened?"

Actually, Xie Mingyu didn’t know about Ye Ningwan’s sudden suicide news.

Old Sir Xie didn’t believe this news at all.

Having interacted with Ye Ningwan for so long, he knew she was a smart and mischievous woman; how could she suddenly commit suicide?

Knowing the Zhan Family was holding a funeral, he scoffed, feeling glad in his heart.

Thinking if the Zhan Family acknowledged her death, that would be good.

After all, his beloved grandson missed Ye Ningwan dearly.

But she was a wife, so pursuing her wouldn’t be legitimate.

If she wasn’t anymore, it didn’t matter because with his grandson’s looks and family background, Ye Ningwan would be blind not to choose him.

Indeed, after meeting Li Qingqing and hearing her, he was more sure Ye Ningwan wasn’t dead.

Though she’s not dead, she must be in trouble.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have intentionally sent Li Qingqing here to convey the message.

Old Sir Xie recounted the events.

"What? Wanwan committed suicide?" Xie Mingyu exclaimed, his face turning pale.

Shangxue quickly offered him a pill to swallow.

Xie Mingyu angrily pushed it away: "I’m fine, Grandpa, what’s going on?"

"Didn’t I tell you? Don’t be agitated after hearing. It’s fake. Do you think she’s someone who would commit suicide?" Old Sir Xie explained.

"Then why is someone bringing medicine now?" Xie Mingyu asked.

Old Sir Xie said: "This person certainly isn’t good; she knows what Zisu left with me but doesn’t know I have an agreement with Zisu, which Ye Ningwan also knows. Yet, Ye Ningwan didn’t tell her and sent her to retrieve something that doesn’t exist, probably to hint through her that she’s in trouble and hopes we will rescue her."

"Zhan Hanjue surely doesn’t know about this." Xie Mingyu smiled slightly.

Old Sir Xie said: "He definitely doesn’t know; otherwise, he wouldn’t be holding a funeral at home."

"Shangxue, call Wangyue and ask who this Li Qingqing is."

Wangyue had been around Ye Ningwan for long and would know a lot about the people around her.

Shangxue nodded and quickly called Wangyue.

Wangyue, hearing Li Qingqing’s name, immediately said through clenched teeth: "She’s a bad woman. Miss Ye dislikes her the most. She’s been plotting against Miss Ye day in and day out, even trying to kidnap her last time."

Wangyue was being cared for by Qiao Yichen and didn’t know about Ye Ningwan’s suicide.

"Okay, I got it." Shangxue hung up and relayed Wangyue’s words to Xie Mingyu.

Xie Mingyu chuckled: "Grandpa, get the token out, and have someone quickly forge a fake one. I want to personally meet this woman and rescue Wanwan."

Old Sir Xie quickly said: "I’ll handle this, so you won’t have to bother. Your health is weak; better rest at home."

"No, I must personally rescue Wanwan to prove my capability. Wanwan didn’t seek Zhan Hanjue’s help but mine; if I don’t do anything, how can I justify Wanwan’s trust?" Xie Mingyu insisted.

Actually, if Ye Ningwan heard this, she would cry out, feeling more wronged than Dou E.

She wanted to seek rescue from Zhan Hanjue too, but she needed the opportunity.

The only chance was to send the message to the Xie Family.

Old Sir Xie couldn’t refuse Xie Mingyu; he was his treasured grandson. Whatever he wanted to do, how could he stop him?

"Alright, if you want to do this yourself, let’s do it. But be sure to take care of your health and not overexert yourself. Shangxue, take good care of the young master."

"Don’t worry, sir, I’ll take good care of the young master," Shangxue replied.

Li Qingqing was being entertained by Xie Mingtan, and there was no rush for a while.

The Xie Family found an expert forger, who managed to replicate half a piece identically within hours.

Xie Mingyu couldn’t tell it apart in his hand.

After all, this item was made of jade.

The Xie Family lacked nothing but jade, with all kinds available.

This replica’s material wasn’t the best; they could find better if needed.

Xie Mingyu personally took the half piece of jade to meet Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing was growing impatient with Xie Mingtan’s pestering when she suddenly saw Xie Mingyu approach. Although she’d seen numerous handsome men and women in the entertainment industry, she was still struck by Xie Mingyu’s appearance.

How could a boy be so exquisitely handsome without having undergone plastic surgery?

"This is our Mingyu, isn’t he handsome!" Xie Mingtan said proudly.

Li Qingqing glanced at Xie Mingtan, smirking inwardly. She hadn’t understood why Jia Baoyu was so favored in "Dream of the Red Chamber," with other grandchildren sidelined. But seeing the real-life version, she seemed to get it now.

If she were Old Sir Xie, seeing grandsons like Xie Mingtan and then Xie Mingyu, it would be strange not to be biased.
