Capítulo 1369: Chapter 1368: Should We Kill Him?


Zhou Xiaolan’s heart seemed calm, but was it really like that?


Only she knew.


“Mom, how about you go and celebrate with Dad?” Ling Fei deliberately asked.


“Me? I’d rather not, I don’t want to see him, it’s too awkward.”


Zhou Xiaolan hurriedly replied.


“Alright, Mom.”


Ling Fei and Zhou Xiaolan chatted a bit more and then hung up the phone.


After hanging up, she said, “Ye Qiu, it seems my mom doesn’t care about my dad.”


“That’s normal!”


Ye Qiu said.


If Zhou Xiaolan showed concern, they wouldn’t have divorced. So, the way Zhou Xiaolan acted just now was very normal.


However, Ye Qiu felt that this was the first step towards success, and it would take time to proceed further. At least in terms of their social status, now Ling Zhengwei’s status is equal to Zhou Xiaolan’s. If it were before, Ling Zhengwei was just a regular subordinate and certainly not worthy of Ling Fei’s clerical job, even if the position wasn’t managerial.


Still, the job was easy, and the salary wasn’t lower than Ling Zhengwei’s. In such situations, Zhou Xiaolan might have looked down on Ling Zhengwei, which was also normal.


“So, what do we do next?”


Ling Fei asked.


“Take it slow. Wait until your dad’s position rises further. Actually, now your dad’s status is just equal to your mom’s. So before, your dad felt inferior while your mom somewhat looked down on your dad’s job. But now, it needs time to slowly change.”


“I understand.”


Now Ling Fei felt that Ye Qiu was omniscient; otherwise, she wouldn’t understand why there were so many conflicts between her parents despite living with them for so long.


If she had understood earlier, things wouldn’t have gotten to this extent.


“Ye Qiu, how did you know?”


Ling Fei asked again after entering the hot spring pool.


“I understand human nature; that’s how people are. Actually, the most complex thing in the world is human nature.”


Ye Qiu said.


He used to think he knew everything, but after an accident, he realized he had underestimated human nature; it was human nature that harmed him.


Liu Lingxiu and Ling Fei also agreed.


“So, I like simple women; no matter how beautiful they are, if their character is complex, I wouldn’t want them even if given to me.”


Liu Lingxiu seemed to understand why Ye Qiu treated her differently; this was the reason.


Ye Qiu, Ling Fei, Liu Lingxiu, the three soaked in the hot spring for about fifteen minutes, then got out for red wine to rest, and then soaked in the spring again.


The whole afternoon was like this.


Now Ye Qiu and the others found the hot spring experience extremely pleasing; after soaking, they felt a full-body lethargy, unwilling to move, with a slight sense of tiredness.


This was mainly because, under high temperatures, most of the body’s water and sodium would evaporate, and the heat could change the blood circulation completely.


By six in the evening, the three took a bath, the same as usual, because the hot spring pool contained sulfur.


Now rinsed clean and dressed, the three prepared to continue the dinner.


Especially Liu Lingxiu and Ling Fei, they felt extremely hungry after soaking, and this hunger made them eager to eat.


Therefore, they felt a buffet would be the best choice.


The three arrived at the buffet restaurant’s entrance, showed their tickets again before entering, then found their seats from earlier today, while Liu Lingxiu and Ling Fei went to get food, Ye Qiu helped them.


After bringing back quite a bit of delicious food, the three feasted, and the two women no longer behaved like elegant ladies as they did in the morning.


Ye Qiu noticed a fierce gaze, and upon looking back, he clearly saw it was the young man he encountered at noon.


He didn’t expect the guy was still here.


Ye Qiu acted as if he didn’t see; as long as the man dared to provoke him, it would surely be a dead end.


For ordinary people like these, Ye Qiu would give one chance, but if they dared to offend him a second time, it would be different.


Ye Qiu and Ling Fei continued eating buffet, while the young man in the distance also ate, but his eyes occasionally glanced over; aside from showing greed towards Ling Fei and Liu Lingxiu, he stared at Ye Qiu with hostility.


During noon, Ye Qiu felt this young man wasn’t one of those privileged types but rather linked to the underworld.


Ye Qiu could see from his aura that even those spoiled rich kids wouldn’t be as foolish as him.


The two women went for more food, followed by Ye Qiu, and after several times they were really full.


Ye Qiu told them to rest a bit without eating too much; they could have snacks and desserts sent by the server if they were hungry later.


After sitting for about fifteen minutes, Ye Qiu said, “You two go back to the room and wait for me, I have something to handle.”


Liu Lingxiu and Ling Fei didn’t ask what it was. After they left, Ye Qiu sat there eating a bit more, then leisurely exited the place, and as expected, the young man followed him out.


In the hot spring resort area, the daytime seemed full of Immortal Qi, but at night, the lights made it even prettier, like a fairy palace, with lights lit everywhere; indeed it’s nice to soak in the spring and enjoy the views simultaneously.


Ye Qiu went outside, with the young man following him out, and saw him taking out his phone to call someone, but Ye Qiu couldn’t hear clearly what was said; however, he saw from the man’s changing expression that he was clearly calling for reinforcements.


Ye Qiu had already walked outside to the open-air hot spring pool, and there were a few tourists soaking in the spring, but not many. Ye Qiu, walking while dressed, caught some strange looks from the soaking tourists but nothing was said.


Ye Qiu continued walking forward to a spot with almost no one soaking, and finally, the young man caught up.


Soon there were two men following him, clearly the type strong in fighting at first glance.


Ye Qiu turned his back on these three men, but was very aware of them.


The young man thought Ye Qiu came out to admire the view, sneered, “Kid, still have the mood to watch the scenery, huh!”


“Not looking at the scenery, should I watch you three men soaking in the spring?” Ye Qiu retorted with a cold smile.


“Young master, should we kill him?” Before the young man could say anything, a middle-aged man asked.
