chapter 4 underfoot

In the simply decorated living room, Tabitha He sat on the sofa anxiously, looking at the high hanging clock from time to time. It was already after twelve o'clock in the night, and Minard Qin still hadn't come back yet. "What on earth did Minard do?" "Sister, he is so old, he will always have some space of his own." Next to Tabitha He, there was a person who was seventy-nine similar to hers in appearance, but full of childishness. But her face was cold, and even the tone of her voice was the same. "Leona He, you can't stop saying a few words."Tabitha He was anxious and her tone was a bit reproachful for a moment: "sister Maggie, please ask us to take care of Minard. If something happens to him, how will we explain to sister Maggie!" Leona He eyes moved downward, and when he heard his sister's scolding, he became more and more dissatisfied, and even had a hint of resentment towards Minard Qin. Since Minard Qin came, Tabitha He cared more about Minard Qin than she did. Although she didn't admit it, Leona He felt like she had fallen out of favor. Therefore, she has always disliked Minard Qin. A slight sound opened the door, and the two sisters looked at the door at the same time. "Minard!"Tabitha He couldn't help being pleasantly surprised when she saw the figure at the door. However, Leona He snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Sister, I'm going back to sleep. I have to review tomorrow." Minard Qin looked at the figures of the sisters. The distant memory made him feel sad, and he was filled with emotions for a while. "I'm back!"Minard Qin heart couldn't help but feel warm and a little sour. It seems that not only my cultivation has disappeared, but also my Taoist heart has disappeared? Minard Qin thought stubbornly in his heart, unwilling to admit it, but looking at Tabitha He familiar figure, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red. Tabitha He immediately ran over, hugged Minard Qin in her arms, and said, "What have you been doing? Are you going to be anxious to death if you don't come back so late?" Minard Qin's eyes widened suddenly. He was about the same height as Tabitha He, but Tabitha He was wearing pajamas at this time. The softness coming from every part of his body made his heart tremble. "Tabitha He, how old am I? Why do you still treat me like a child?"Minard Qin broke away in a panic, his face slightly red. Seeing that Minard Qin was fine, Tabitha He was relieved. Seeing Minard Qin's shy look, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "Oh, I'm still shy! Yes, now that Minard has grown up, he dislikes his aunt. old." Facing Tabitha He's teasing, Minard Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes. In the past, he always disliked He Tabitha He treating him as a child, but now it warmed his heart. This is a feeling he has never had since entering the world of cultivation. Tabitha He took Minard Qin's arm and walked to the sofa, cleared her throat, and said like a parent scolding her: "Tell me, why are you not back so late?" Although He Yun learned a lot, she couldn't help but smile in her eyes, especially when she saw Minard Qin in embarrassment. In the past, Minard Qin would have said nothing and ran back into the house. "Go out for a walk and see the scenery of Jing Shui city." Minard Qin said softly, looking directly at Tabitha He autumn-like pupils, "I'm sorry for making you worry." Tabitha He couldn't help being stunned, looking at Minard Qin who was uncharacteristically in a daze. "No, it's okay..."Tabitha He was a little flustered. After three years of contact with Minard Qin, this was the first time she saw Minard Qin apologize. "It's late at night, Tabitha He, you should go to bed early." Minard Qin smiled gently, turned around and walked towards the room. When did Minard learn to apologize? Tabitha He reacted quickly and wondered: "You came back so late, didn't you go to find your girlfriend?" Minard Qin just raised his hand and waved it, then slammed the door shut. "Minard won't really fall in love, right? That's right, it's normal at this age."Tabitha He murmured in a low voice, remembering Minard Qin's strong body when she hugged her just now, her pretty face felt a little hot for a moment: "It seems like he's really grown up." … Back in the room, Minard Qin gently touched the desk that had been with him for three years, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. Opening the second drawer on the right under the desk, a wooden framed photo appeared in his eyes. In the photo, there is a man, a woman, and a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. The family of three is enjoying themselves by the Mingxin Lake. Minard Qin couldn't help but recall the memories of his previous life. His father, Lockie Qin, was from the Qin family in Jinling. He later met and fell in love with Minard Qin's mother , Maggie Shen, and later refused the marriage arranged by the family and fell out with the family in anger. Not only that, he also received the marriage certificate in public and put it in front of his father, Minard Qin's grandfather, with great fanfare to witness it. Mr. Qin, who was almost out of breath, relapsed. Since then, Lockie Qin led Maggie Shen to leave Kyoto and go to Jing Shui city to live alone. Minard Qin's mother, Maggie Shen, was a top student in the finance department, and Lockie Qin was not willing to live a mediocre life. When Minard Qin was fourteen years old, they decided to start a business in other places. They left for three years and never Returned. However, Minard Qin knew that in just three years, his parents worked hard in a foreign country and became a business legend who created hundreds of millions of assets from scratch. One was to become an underground leader in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, but Minard Qin had no idea at the time. In Minard Qin's heart at that time, his parents abandoned him and entrusted him to outsiders, and he had deep resentment in his heart. Even this photo was put in a drawer and left to gather dust, and his parents' calls were never answered. I only got a piece of information from Tabitha He. His parents worked hard to start a business outside and achieved good results... He was in adolescence at that time, full of youthful stubbornness. Thinking of his past actions, Minard Qin felt endless shame in his heart. "Mom, Dad, I will never let you down!"Minard Qin murmured in a low voice, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and his cold light flashed: "Kent Chen, in your previous life, you ruined my family. You didn't even have the chance to take revenge. Even if you don’t leave them to me, you didn’t expect that I, Minard Qin, would be back, right?” Chen family, Kent Chen! In his previous life, he was an unreachable existence in Minard Qin eyes. After three years of hard work by his parents, he offended Kent Chen. It only took the Chen family three days to make it disappear. My mother's business went bankrupt, and my father's power was divided and swallowed up. There was not even a chance for a comeback, and he was completely left with nothing. Minard Qin secretly clenched his fists and lowered his head slightly. He hated how he could be so young, frivolous and ignorant of worldly affairs. He hated that his parents' three years of hard work were ruined because of his anger. He hated that the Qin family actually allowed the Chen family to destroy their parents' property but did nothing. Even at the final funeral of his parents, no one from the Qin family showed up. Instead, they left a piece of paper expelling his father from the Qin family. But...so what? This time, Minard Qin and Michael Qin are back. How can the Chen family and the Qin family come into his eyes? He will take back the humiliation he has endured one by one. He will kill the enemies who once tried to send him to hell with one sword. "In this life, I, Michael Qin, will leave no regrets!" Minard Qin raised his head suddenly, a feeling of an emperor dominating the world surged in the room, and secretly swore. His Qing Emperor, Michael Qin, will eventually put this prosperous city under his feet.
