As usual Xu Ming got up early then began his morning exercise in the gym. While he was running on the treadmill for a short while, Xu Qin finally came in.
Without looking back, Xu Ming lightly asked,’’When did you close it?’’
Obviously, he was referring to that godforsaken video, therefore, Xu Qin completely went silent when he heard the question.
Seeing her casual attitude last night, Xu Qin wanted to know for how long can she sleep while hearing those sounds so he went to sleep in the study room and…
Didn’t close it!
But who knows that when he woke up at 3 am and still heard those sounds! Meaning, she can actually sleep soundly despite hearing them!
‘’3 am.’’Answered Xu Qin.
Once Xu Ming heard this, he gave a sidelong glance toward Xu Qin then said,’’How?’’
It was only 26 min though.
Xu Qin helplessly said,’’It kept on playing new videos.’’
He didn’t even want to look at the history to see how many videos had been playing…
Xu Ming curiously asked,’’Porn website can also do that?’’
Xu Qin,’’……’’How would I know?! I have never used one!
"Didn’t you lose your memories?" Skeptically asked Xu Qin.
Xu Ming didn't even bat an eyelid once he replied,"Someone recommended."
Hearing this Xu Qin pondered a bit and narrowed down to a certain person.
Don’t tell me that it was Ah Lin?
Among the people who Xu Ming got to interact with, she was the most suspicious.
Xu Lin who was falsely accused, "......"I. Am. Innocent!
Deciding to drop this embarrassing matter, Xu Qin went to use another treadmill beside him when he suddenly heard the other person quietly muttered,’’So it’s all night, huh.’’
Xu Ming then turned to eye Xu Qin up and down then concluded,’’It’s possible.’’
At that time Xu Qin still didn’t figure out what the meaning behind his words until he felt the somewhat strange gaze that he got from others in the house did he realize.
Xu Qin,’’……’’He will definitely improve the soundproof later on!
Meanwhile, Madame Xu didn’t know what to feel once she heard the report from her servant about the two.
On one hand, she believed that her son wouldn’t do that with Xu Ming but on another hand, she knew her son well that he wouldn’t get it off with someone else no matter how much he hates his wife so it’s hard to say that he didn’t do anything last night since he obviously didn’t hate the other person as much as he did in the past.
Don’t tell me that they are getting back together?
‘’Dear, stop thinking too much. Just let youngsters deal with their problem.’’
Madame Xu wanted to protest,‘’But-‘’
Xu Chen cut in,’’Ah Qin knows what he is doing.’’
Only at this did Madame Xu quieten down since after all Xu Qin never disappointed others with his decisions.
‘’Good morning, Grandma and Grandpa!’’
Xu Mei’s excited voice floated over causing the pair to look over and immediately saw the trio walking down the stairs.
Xu Qin had Xu Mei in his arms while Xu Ming was walking beside them.
It had to be said that this little family really make it hard for others to take their eyes away from them since be it appearance, aura and temperament they stood out from the crowd.
Strangely enough, Xu Ming who used to feel out of the place when standing beside Xu Qin suddenly fit perfectly and his presence didn’t even get overshadowed by his companion either.
Madame Xu was so shocked at the thought of this, how come she felt that Xu Ming is pleasing to the eyes?
Regardless of how she felt toward Xu Ming, she gave a gentle smile then urged them to sit down.
Madame Xu was about to let the servant call her daughter when in the next moment Xu Lin slowly made her way downstairs while talking to someone on the phone.
‘’Shu Ji ah, how many time did I tell you that I will be away for a while?.....Stop! Don’t urge me too much or else I will disappear next time without telling you. Bye, gotta go.’’
Xu Lin ended her call abruptly then quickly made her way to the table but seeing that her parents were staring at her, she leisurely shrugged her shoulders then said,’’I’m just taking some days off from work, is that wrong?’’
Xu Chen gave a sigh,’’A vacation right before your fashion show?’’
‘’There is still three months left!’’
‘’Don’t you pity your agent?’’
‘’I pity him but someone doesn’t pity me!’’
While saying this her eyes quickly drifted off to settle down on Xu Ming who from the beginning to the end ignored her.
Xu Lin pitifully said,’’Sister-in-law, why don’t you agree to become my model?’’
In return, Xu Ming lightly replied,‘’Not interested.’’
Therefore, Xu Lin turned to look at her big brother,’’Qin ge, how about you persuade her?’’
Xu Qin didn’t even give her a glance as he spoke,’’It’s her you want so talk to her yourself.’’
So Xu Lin couldn’t help but click her tongue in annoyance,’’Tsk, these two icebergs. Good thing, Xiao Mei’s personality leans toward mine!’’
Xu Qin and Xu Ming involuntarily paused once they heard this, they couldn’t help but imagining Xu Mei becoming the second Xu Lin which caused both of them to frown.
The two said in union toward Xu Mei,’’Don’t play too much with your aunt/Don’t catch her bad habits.’’
Xu Mei obediently nodded,’’Okay!’’
Xu Lin,’’……’’Am I a hoodlum to all of you?
Seeing this kind of rare scene, Xu Chen lightly chuckled then said to his daughter,’’Ah Lin, why don’t get Ah Wei to be your model? He also has a model contract.’’
To his reply, Xu Lin gave a helpless sigh,’’Wei ge is without a doubt beautiful but he is the film Emperor, not Empress!’’
‘’Shouldn’t you have already invited the models? Why still bother Xiao Ming?’’
In return, Xu Lin gave a domineering reply,’’I want her! Who dares to stop me?’’
Looking at her smug face, Xu Chen decided to stop bothering with her and continued to eat his breakfast.
It was finally time for Xu Mei to go to school so before going Xu Qin suddenly gave a folder to Xu Ming,’’Take it, throw it away if you don’t want.’’
Xu Ming accepted it without saying anything and only opened it when he was alone in his room.
This was precisely the evidence of Su Gao had involved in Su Lan's death.
Xu Ming just closed the folder and put it away. Since Xu Qin didn't like being indebted to someone he might as well accept this.
Well, who wouldn't like less trouble anyway?
Three days later, Xu Ming finally went out of the mansion once again. Not long after, Xu Ming arrived at a small pharmacy which was a two-floor building.
Looking around at the surrounding, it was estimated that there was not a lot of income for this pharmacy.
Qiu Cao was nodding off at the reception with her eyes were drooping to fix at the floor. When she was about to drift off to the dreamland, her eyes suddenly caught the door slowly opened then a pair of black double monk straps shoes entered her vision.
Qiu Cao dazedly looked up.
A pair of long slender legs wrapped in black trousers, knee length black coat, white shirt with two top buttons undone, white slender neck then…
Her sleepiness immediately went away upon seeing the other person’s beautiful face. She instantly straightened up and now that she has taken a whole picture of the other person, she felt even more overwhelmed.
The woman who stood in front of her was obviously beautiful beyond word but with her cool getup, expressionless face and the powerful aura exuded from her, she really stood out from the crowd!
Oh my fucking god! Is she seeing an angel of the death?!
Qiu Cao instantly pulled out a smile but then she realized something so she quickly wiped her mouth fearing that there was drool on her face.
Xu Ming was not bothered with her unprofessional look, he took another few steps forward then said to her,’’I want to meet Su Nan.’’
Qiu Cao finally snapped back to her sense once she heard this. She quickly turned around to look at the other person,’’May I ask who are you?’’
Xu Ming patiently answered,’’Su Ming.’’
Qiu Cao was inwardly shocked: Su?
‘’Wait a bit, I will go inform Uncle Su.’’
Xu Ming lightly nodded his head and Qiu Cao quickly went to the back.
Not long after, a middle-aged man quickly arrived. He had a refined look and seemed like a gentle person.
In the meantime, Su Nan who expected to see his niece dressing up ravishingly was stunned silly to see an entire completely different person.
If not for her face was seventy percent similar to his big sister, he would definitely deny that this person was his niece!
‘’Long time no see, Uncle.’’
Xu Ming’s voice finally snapped Su Nan out of his stupor so he politely replied,’’Mm, how are you doing?’’
Xu Ming replied perfunctorily. Since he was not here to reminisce about their past he quickly went straight to the point.
‘’I want to talk about the Su family.’’
The moment Su family was mentioned, Su Nan’s expression slightly changed. He gave a sigh,’’Let’s talk inside.’’
Therefore, Xu Ming was led to the second floor which was where Su Nan and his family lived. They went into the living room and the herbal tea was soon served by He Xi, Su Nan’s wife.
He Xi gently smiled while putting down the tea in front of Xu Ming,’’I brew this myself, please have a taste.’’
Xu Ming thanked her then turned to look at Su Nan. Su Nan thought that the other person wanted his wife to go away so he turned to her and was about to let her leave when Xu Ming dismissively waved his hand,’’No need. Aunt, you stay here and listen too.’’
He Xi gave a puzzled look toward her husband to which Su Nan just nodded his head in return.
Judging by Su Nan’s personality, he would definitely consult with his wife of what they are going to talk about so it’s best to gain a good first impression instead.
Xu Ming already did a background check about this family.
Su Nan was Su Lan’s little brother. The reason he didn’t get to inherit the Su company was only because he was never interested in business. His soft personality also played the part so his father didn’t entrust the company to him and gave it to his son-in-law instead. Nowadays, Old Su was bedridden in the hospital so he had no idea that the Su family was in a brink of being swallowed by the outsiders.
Su Nan only owned 10 % of the shares whereas Su Gao had 37%. He didn’t have any connections so confronting with Su Gao was out of the question.
Su Gao didn’t regard him as a threat to his position even though he was the Su young master so Xu Ming was at ease with coming here.
Su Nan gave a long depressing sigh after listening to his objective.
‘’Xiao Ming, you know that I can’t do anything against your father so it’s useless to look for me.’’
It was not like he didn’t want to take back what’s belong to his family but the reality was rather ugly that he cannot do anything.
Xu Ming had anticipated this so he expressionlessly put down another sentence,’’He killed her.’’
Su Nan immediately snapped his head to look at him in disbelief.
Of course, he knew who did he refer to.
His lips quivered as he tried hard to get the words out of his mouth,‘’How come you are so sure?’’
Instead of answering, Xu Ming just took out a folder to put it in front of him.
Su Nan opened it then took out the papers inside. The more he looked the more his face became pale, the papers were crumbled underneath his trembling hands.
In the end, he furiously stood up,’’That bastard! I will kill him!’’
He Xi quickly appeased her husband,’’Nan calm down!’’
‘’How can I calm down?! Sister loved him so much but what she got in return? I will take revenge for her!’’
Xu Ming was quietly sipping his tea with his legs crossed for this whole time while Su Nan and He Xi went through the documents. Only when he heard him saying this sentence did he finally open his mouth,’’How?’’
Su Nan gave him a questioning look,’’Call the police, of course! We have the evidence!’’
Xu Ming simply raised his brow then unhurriedly said,’’Then ruin the Su family?’’
Only at his reminder did Su Nan become a bit clear head.
He might manage to put Su Gao in the jail but the Su family would be ruined without a head. He only had a small share in the company and Su Gao would definitely not give his shares to Xiao Ming if something were to happen to him so those in the board directors would definitely begin to stir the trouble!
Since Su Nan didn't know what to say, he dispiritedly sat back and unconsciously looked at Xu Ming for the answer.
Xu Ming was unperturbed by his stare. He leisurely put down the teacup on the table then linked his hands to put them on top of his knee, he calmly said," I have a way."

The author has something to say:
How is the story so far? Actually seeing that the previous chapter didn't do so well, I figured that I might ruin the story.
