Reborn as a Good Child

99. Two Tao Qis

In an empty sick ward just a wall away from YiHan, JingYuan stood facing the window as he flipped through the document in his hands.

Chen Hong, JingYuan's secretary, stood a few steps behind the man by the window. "This woman, Tao Qi," he said, clear voice echoing. "There's nothing special about her. She's currently in her second year at university. Her father, Tao JianFei, is a truck driver. His income depends on taking on long routes. Her mother, Tang Jing, is a housewife. She has never held a job. Tao Qi is their eldest daughter. She also has a younger brother. When he was younger and unbeknownst to his family, he skipped school for a little business venture. He earned some money through it so he thought he was a genius businessman. He was no ordinary man. Unfortunately, he's ambitious but careless and unskilled. The bit of money he earned through luck was quickly used up and under his family's advice, "brought himself down" to find a job. However, he was rejected at every turn. He refused to admit it's because he was incapable. He insists it's because society is too corrupted. It's why no one was accepting a talented man like him. All day long, he'd sigh about how unfair life was. He wouldn't study or work. All he does is stay at home, leeching off his parents, waiting for the lucky chance in his life to bring him up to his peak. He's the kind that can never be made into anything just like slippery mud.

"Tao Qi's parents are the kind who think only sons are important while girls are useless. They dote on their son and ignore Tao Qi the whole time. It was rather hard for her to even get into university. She had incredibly good grades. Her high school arranged a guaranteed spot for her in university but her parents didn't want her to go as a way to lessen the financial burden on themselves. They only let her go after she cried and cried and told them she'd work hard to earn all the money needed for university.

"Two months ago, Tao JianFei caused a crash from exhaustion. Someone nearly died then. Thus, the family's finances had been on a downhill. They can't afford the expensive surgery fees. In order to pay for the father's medical fees, Tao Qi decided to be the son of Li ZiFa, Li Sun's lover. Tao JianFei has now been discharged from the hospital but he can't drive a truck ever again and he can't do hard labour. With the family's breadwinner down, she had to continue staying by Li Sun's side so the family won't go bankrupt. But recently, she's been sending less and less money home. Her brother even came to ask about it a few times but she'd always wave him off. Her classmates and friends all say she'd changed dramatically recently. She'd gotten a lot tougher with her family. Before, she would never lay a single finger on her younger brother. The general consensus is she'd changed due to the immense pressure of having so many things happen to her family at once. They're all very sympathetic to her. Mn. Everyone seems to like her. She's got good social skills. While she'd gotten much more temperamental and impulsive lately no one has yet to express dissatisfaction with her."

He paused, then continued, "Li Sun had once bragged that Tao Qi was a virgin when they first got together. She's very pure and naive out of the bed but in it, she's an exceptional beast."

"You don't need to say that," JingYuan said with a frown.

Chen Hong smiled. He said nothing but, in his heart, he was pumping his fist and holding up a victory sign. Boss, that flash of satisfaction in your eyes betrayed you. Don't think I don't know just how much you're bothered by the question of whether or not the Little Master had sex with her before. The role of President Mu's secretary was one everyone yearned for, but I could stay as calm as the eye of the storm. It's not only because I'm extremely talented but because I'm very good at observing micro-expressions.

The hand holding onto the document shifted to behind JingYuan's back. His gaze staring out through the window into the distance. "Changed dramatically?" he whispered. "Interesting. Chen Hong, have the men keep a close eye on her. If she does anything out of the ordinary, notify me at once."
