Chapter 50 – Shocking! A Murder at the Qin Family’s Old Residence!

Mu Yiyi had no idea how Qin Yansen ended up on her blacklist, but after thinking about it, the only person who could’ve accessed her phone was Lu Zeyan.

Considering how Lu Zeyan had been upset lately because of her interactions with Qin Yansen, blacklisting Qin Yansen was definitely something only Lu Zeyan would do.

But she knew that Lu Zeyan did it out of jealousy, which meant he had feelings for her. So she didn’t blame him.

After a few seconds of silence on the call, Qin Yansen’s slightly surprised voice came through: “Why do you want to add my grandma on WeChat?”

Mu Yiyi replied, “Didn’t your grandma win the championship at the local eSports competition recently? My younger brother wants to learn some skills from her.”

Although this was an embarrassing thing for Mu Yiyi to say—especially since the old lady had made things difficult for her during the dress-buying incident—she couldn’t turn her brother down. Mu Nan had been begging her to find a way.

Ever since their parents passed away, it had just been the two of them relying on each other. As his sister, how could she bear to reject the only family she had left?

Besides, Mu Nan had always been sensible and never asked for anything or caused trouble. This was the first time he’d asked for something. If she couldn’t deliver, she’d feel incredibly guilty.

She had already made up her mind—even if the old lady asked her to film another video to apologize, she’d do it for her brother’s sake.

But it probably wouldn’t be that bad. Qin Yansen liked her so much—he would definitely help.

Although Qin Yansen felt a little disappointed, he still agreed.

“Thank you, Yansen. You’re so kind.”

“Then… can we meet tomorrow?”

Mu Yiyi hesitated. “I’m afraid not. I have plans tomorrow. Maybe another day?”

In truth, she had no plans. But Lu Zeyan had been in a bad mood lately, and she wanted to be there for him. Plus, she needed to keep some distance from Qin Yansen for a few days to avoid upsetting Lu Zeyan further.

After hanging up, Qin Yansen stared at his phone screen and let out a deep sigh.

Three minutes later, Lin Qingqing looked at the man standing in front of her and raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”

Qin Yansen said, “Mu Yiyi just called me…”

“You’re not going!” Lin Qingqing cut him off before he could finish.

“She didn’t call about me. She said she wants to add you on WeChat, so I came to ask for your opinion.” Qin Yansen spoke cautiously, watching Lin Qingqing nervously, afraid she’d be upset.

After all, Lin Qingqing had never liked Mu Yiyi.

Leaning against the doorway with her arms crossed, Lin Qingqing frowned slightly. “Why does she want to add me?”

After Qin Yansen explained everything, Lin Qingqing’s frown deepened. She was debating whether to agree and what benefits it might bring her.

After a moment’s thought, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. “Go ahead and give her my WeChat. Tell her I agreed.”

Qin Yansen smiled. “Grandma, I knew you were the best!”

He had thought he’d have to work hard to convince the old lady, but to his surprise, she agreed so easily.

Lin Qingqing looked at him calmly. “Don’t praise me just yet. Didn’t you notice something?”

“Notice what?”

“Didn’t you realize that every time Mu Yiyi calls you, it’s always to ask for a favor?”

Every time Lin Qingqing saw Mu Yiyi, it was during moments when Qin Yansen was helping her with something. The guy was probably enjoying it too, thinking Mu Yiyi cared about him. He was the kind of big fool who’d be sold off and still help count the money!

Then, this lovesick fool spoke the exact line from the original story, as she had expected: “That just means she needs me. And I’m willing to help. As a man, it’s only right that I do more.”

“Oh, sure, sure! In the future, when she’s dating and her boyfriend is too busy, you’ll be there for her. You’ll spend money and effort without getting anything in return. When she’s married and fights with her husband, you’ll be her emotional support and help her overcome all obstacles. You’ll be her safe haven. And in the end, she’ll make up with her husband. When she has a kid and she’s cuddling with her hubby in their room, you’ll babysit. But hey, you’re a man—what’s wrong with doing a little more? It’s no big deal! No big deal at all!”

Lin Qingqing finished her rant in one breath, slammed the door shut in frustration. Every second she looked at this lovesick brain of a grandson felt like an insult to her mammary glands!

But then she paused and thought—why was she getting so mad at a fictional character?

Seriously, why get worked up over nothing?

Outside the door.

Qin Yansen’s expression was unreadable.

What did Grandma mean by all that?

Was she describing his actual future?

Last time, Grandma warned them not to leave the house or there would be bloodshed. He and Qin Jingsu both ignored her and went out anyway. Although Grandma eventually forced them back home, in the end, nothing happened.

Maybe she was just getting old and overly worried about their safety… or maybe everything she said was true?

Qin Yansen couldn’t figure it out. But lately, her words and actions had been increasingly strange…

He wasn’t like that fool Qin Jingsu who blindly believed every word his grandmother said without thinking for himself.

If Lin Qingqing knew that her dear grandson didn’t suspect Mu Yiyi at all, but instead suspected her, she’d probably be so mad she’d drop dead on the spot.

After her shower, Lin Qingqing received a friend request from Mu Yiyi. Mu Yiyi’s attitude was very polite, clearly because of her younger brother, forcing her to lower her pride.

But surprisingly, Mu Yiyi’s first message was:
“Grandma, you were so cool at the racetrack last time!”

Lin Qingqing humbly replied:
“Not bad.”

She had only shown off at the racetrack to collect surprise points from her grandsons and accidentally stole Lu Zeyan’s thunder. She hadn’t expected Mu Yiyi to notice too.

Then Mu Yiyi went on about how much she liked racing, praising Lin Qingqing for being so impressive even at eighty. Her words were full of admiration and envy.

Lin Qingqing frowned slightly. Wasn’t she supposed to be asking for help? Why did this feel more like she’d just added a fan?

But then she figured maybe Mu Yiyi was just laying the groundwork for her brother’s request.

To save time on all the flattery, Lin Qingqing directly sent a message:
“Send me your brother’s WeChat.”

Mu Yiyi went quiet for a moment before replying with a simple “Okay” and forwarded Mu Nan’s contact.

Lin Qingqing didn’t add him.

She decided to keep the kid waiting. If it came too easily, she’d have no leverage.

Putting down her phone, Lin Qingqing went to sleep peacefully, already planning out her next surprise-point strategy.

The next morning.

The Qin family’s old residence erupted in screams!

“Ahhhhh! Blood! Why is there blood all over the floor?! Where’s it coming from?!”

Yang Chun, still in her pajamas and half-asleep, was instantly jolted awake at the sight of bright red bloodstains all over the floor!

She screamed and jumped into Qin Haishan’s arms!

Qin Haishan’s legs nearly gave out.

There was so much blood… how many lives had it cost?!
