Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Chapter 17 A Plum Blossom from Heaven is worse than a Childhood Sweetheart

Xie Qingyu has gone missing.

To be precise, Xie Qingyu was avoiding Shen Shen.

After the events of that day were over, Shen Shen returned only to find that Xie Qingyu had already left.

In the days that followed, Shen Shen did not see Xie Qingyu once more.

Even today, after Xie's parents learned of this matter and invited Shen Shen to their home for dinner as a gesture of concern for the younger generation, Xie Qingyu did not appear.

"Qingyu suddenly said there was an emergency at school and left in a hurry this morning," Xie's mother explained with a smile.

As her daughter was behaving strangely, Xie's mother naturally noticed.

In the past, whenever they knew Shen Shen was coming, they would eagerly await his arrival. Why would they go to the school on a weekend?

But Xie's mother only thought these things to herself; in front of Shen Shen, she still covered up for Xie Qingyu.

Xie's mother did not know the specifics of what happened that day; she only knew that Shen Shen had been drugged at the Su family's house.

The Su family is her maternal family, and Shen Shen is her best friend's child, whom she watched grow up.

She should care about it both emotionally and logically.

Shen Shen insisted that she not visit him, saying that it was unacceptable for an elder to visit a younger person to check on them.

So Shen Shen went to their door on his own.

After speaking with Shen Shen, Xie's mother went to prepare food, leaving Xie's father and Shen Shen in the living room.

The two of them were almost like father and son, talking about business matters.

Xie Qingyu is the only daughter in the Xie family. She studies art and has no intention of taking over the family business.

Therefore, Mr. Xie is still worried about the company's affairs.

After talking with Shen Shen for a while, Xie's father sighed again, "Your father is truly blessed to have a son like you."

Since handing the company over to Shen Shen, Mr. Shen retired early and spent his time traveling with his wife.

He was extremely envious.

There was nothing he could do but bring his wife along when he went on work trips to make himself feel a little better.

Shen Shen had no way to respond to that.

Fortunately, Xie's father was just saying it.

He was easygoing, and Xie Qingyu was his only daughter, so he didn't want to force her to do things she didn't want to do.

The company had already made arrangements for her long ago, so even if she were gone, the trust he left behind would ensure that she and her future children could live a life of comfort and security for generations to come.

"Has the Su family explained this matter to you?" After finishing their conversation, Xie's father turned to the matter he was concerned about.

"Yes, we've found the person... Although the reasons they gave were a bit far-fetched no matter how you asked, you couldn't get anything out of them no matter who you asked. The Su family gave up the bid for the Huaibei project." Shen Shen answered without reservation.

"At least Su Ming is sincere," Xie's father commented, without saying more.

Although Shen Shen seems to be fine now, what if what he was given wasn't an aphrodisiac, but a deadly drug?

The fact that something like the entrance can be tampered with is itself a very serious matter.

The Su family was his in-laws, but he wasn't close to them.

He disliked the Su family's way of doing things; their illegitimate children were a mess, creating countless unpleasant problems.

Compared to the Su family, he preferred to see Shen Shen, whom he had watched grow up, profit.

"Regarding your matter... have you found anything by following the clues?"

"The investigation is still ongoing. These two people have been in contact with too many people, and their hands are not clean either. It may take some time to find out the truth," Shen Shen said.

"You should be careful lately." Mr. Xie frowned, sensing that this matter was not simple.

Ordinary methods used to climb the social ladder are not that difficult to investigate.

Being able to do this only shows that this person is quite capable.

Shen Shen clearly understood this principle as well.

"Alright, you two stop talking now," Xie's mother said with a smile. "I made some nourishing food for you today, so you can have a good restorative meal."

"Today is indeed plentiful. Please bring over the wine I brought back," Xie's father said to Xie's mother with a hint of pleading.

"I don't care if you drink, but Xiao Shen can't drink alcohol now," Xie's mother scolded Xie's father.

“It’s alright, the doctor didn’t say I had to quit drinking. I’ll have a little with my uncle today,” Shen Shen said.

"You two," Xie's mother said helplessly, "should both drink less."

The words say so.

It's not like that when you actually drink it.

"Honestly, you don't know if Xiao Shen's health will suffer any long-term effects. Why did you make him drink so much?" Xie's mother scolded.

Looking at Shen Shen, whose eyes were red, Xie's father didn't dare to speak.

I didn't drink that much.

"I'm fine," Shen Shen said. "It's just that my eyes haven't fully recovered these past few days, and they feel a little uncomfortable."

Mother Xie looked at Shen Shen with disbelief on her face.

Mr. Xie smoothed things over, saying, "You did drink a bit too much. Go back to your room and rest. I'll have your aunt make you a nice meal tonight to help you recover."

Upon hearing what Xie's father said, Xie's mother immediately made arrangements.

Shen Shen also has his own guest room here, so he doesn't need to prepare anything.

"Then I'll have to bother you today."

"Don't be so polite, child. Go and rest. Qingyu will be back tonight, and I'll show off my cooking skills then." Xie's mother enjoys cooking, and when she's in a good mood, she doesn't need the nanny to do it.

"it is good."

Concerned that everything was in order, Xie's mother was happily planning the evening's menu, completely unaware that Shen Shen, who had already gone upstairs, was feeling unwell.

Some of the things in his room were added by Xie Qingyu.

Shen Shen sat on the sofa in the room, staring at an exquisite sailboat ornament on the table. Xie Qingyu had bought it for him before, and he also had one at home.

Something suddenly happened at school?

Too fake.

Xie Qingyu's supervisor went abroad to attend an exchange conference a couple of days ago and hasn't returned yet.

Xie Qingyu has no senior brothers or sisters above her, so what could possibly require her to go?

They were just hiding because they knew I was coming this morning.

Shen Shen didn't know how he should feel right now.

Just like when he wanted Xie Qingyu to stay and wait for him to leave together, he didn't know how to face it.

In that situation, my instinct was to keep Xie Qingyu with me.

But to everyone's surprise, she not only didn't stay, but there was also no news of her for several days.

Now he was finally certain that Xie Qingyu was indeed avoiding him.

After clearly understanding the situation, Shen Shenyi was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of how to feel.

It's as if the emotions I'd been building up for days suddenly hit me like cotton wool.

And all the mental preparations I had made for how to face Xie Qingyu were now useless.

These factors prompted him to agree to stay for a drink and to take advantage of his still-recovering eye injury.

I want to see her.

This idea has never been stronger.

But what to do after meeting them?

Shen Shen didn't know, and couldn't explain.

It was probably because she wanted to hear the name 'Shen Shen' again, which kept repeating in her mind as she went to sleep at night, a name tinged with doubt and panic.

Shen Shen thought he must be crazy to have such a thought.

It kept him awake at night.
