Chapter 888: Chapter 882 Sisters Meet but Don’t Recognize Each Other_1

“Knock, knock.” An Xiaofeng rapped on the door, silently waiting for the person inside to answer. They didn’t wait for long; as soon as the knocking stopped, Qin Xue heard steps approaching from inside.

Qin Xue secretly surmised that the person had a reasonably good reaction speed, likely because they had heard them coming, and hence rushed to the door right when they knocked.

As soon as the door swung open, what greeted Qin Xue was a face so cold that it was slightly intimidating. This person was truly cold, and unlike the usual coldness of Chu Molin, who appeared indifferent to strangers but was actually warm-hearted, this person’s coldness seemed to seep out from their bones, as if nothing was ever able to touch their heart.

However, she couldn’t make any judgments yet, as sometimes those who appeared heartless and emotionless also had their own concerns. Thus, aside from sensing his cold demeanor, Qin Xue couldn’t draw any other conclusions about him at first glance.

“What’s going on here?” Feng asked, looking at An Xiaofeng, who appeared in the doorway.

“Captain, I’ve encountered an acquainted person and brought her to meet our gang leader. She had once treated our vice leader’s illness, so she should know what condition he’s in.” After listening to Feng’s words, An Xiaofeng calmly explained why he brought Qin Xue here.

...
“Come in, then.” Feng stepped aside to let them in, then closed the door.

“Boss, I’m back,” An Xiaofeng announced as he stood in front of the desk.

“Did you buy what I asked for?” Nangong Beiying questioned.

“I did.” An Xiaofeng affirmed, pulling out a wrapped package from within his robes.

“Feng, take this to Qing Teng. Tell her to drink it, then soak in water with the rest of the contents of the package,” instructed Nangong Beiying, after hearing An Xiaofeng’s response and glancing at the item on the table.

“Miss, should I send for Cloud then?” Feng asked Nangong Beiying after accepting the package.

“Yes, let her come. I need someone to help out,” Nangong Beiying did not object; indeed, without helpers, she couldn’t manage.

Both Thunder and Rain had their own tasks. Although An Xiaofeng was called in, his abilities were better suited to clan affairs, not domestic tasks.

“Understood, I’ll go right now,” said Feng, and turned to leave.

“Hold on, Feng. First take this lady to the waiting room next door for a drink of water. I’ll join you when I’m finished here.” Nangong Beiying rubbed her temple, looking slightly annoyed at An Xiaofeng. What was he trying to do, showing her a woman he liked?

“Alright. Miss, please come with me to the next room and wait. Our young lady will have a talk with you later,” Feng said to Qin Xue after hearing Nangong Beiying’s instructions. He called Qin Xue ‘miss’ to make a distinction from their own ‘young lady’.

“Okay,” replied Qin Xue. She didn’t say anything even though Nangong Beiying didn’t even glance at her. Instead, she quietly followed Feng out.

Qin Xue couldn’t shake a queer feeling, especially after seeing Nangong Beiying’s frustrated gestures – kneading her brows, then rubbing her earlobes – it made her feel even more indescribable. She decided to wait until Nangong Beiying was done with her own business.

“What’s going on?” Once Qin Xue and Feng left, Nangong Beiying asked An Xiaofeng for an explanation.

“Boss, when I was chasing a defector in town, I saw this woman saving his life. The doctors said he was certain to die, but he survived thanks to her urgent medical intervention. So, I brought her to see our vice leader because I thought she might know the nature of his illness. And since I saw her today, I thought I should bring her over to discuss the vice leader’s situation with you,” explained An Xiaofeng.
