My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 365

Chapter 365: The Furious Jiaojiao Liu

“Hmph, heartless man. Did you see my sister?” Jiaojiao Liu said coldly. She looked at Qingfeng with displeasure.

Ever since Jiaojiao Liu became aware that her sister was pregnant with Qingfeng’s child, she became displeased with her brother-in-law since he had made her sister pregnant.

Her poor sister was leaving Eastern Sea City now since she had to marry Shaoyang Wang in the Capital. At that thought, Jiaojiao Liu became angrier and wanted to kick Qingfeng.

Truthfully, Jiaojiao Liu had considered whether she should kick him or beat him up to release her anger. But when she recalled Qingfeng’s strong combat skills, she decided not to kick him since she was not a match for hm.

“Jiaojiao, I just saw your sister. She is on the flight back to the Capital,” Qingfeng said sadly. His felt guilty when he thought of Ruyan Liu.

He knew that he should have treated this woman who had given him her body better.

“If anything happens to my sister, I will never forgive you,” Jiaojiao glared at Qingfeng before leaving.

Jiaojiao Liu knew that her sister did not like Shaoyang Wang. It was a marriage arranged by the family. She did not want to marry Shaoyang Wang.

She was very worried about her sister. She was scared that she would do something foolish in the Capital city. What if her sister committed suicide? Jiaojiao Liu wanted to accompany her sister at the Capital but Xifeng Zhang did not allow her to do so.

“Jiaojiao,” Qingfeng shouted behind her. But Jiaojiao Liu did not respond. She simply left.

Qingfeng felt very upset. Ruyan Liu had just left and now, he was reprimanded by Jiaojiao Liu. How could he be in a good mood?
When he returned to the mansion, Xue Lin was cooking. She asked, “Where did you go so early in the morning?”

Faced with Xue Lin’s questions, Qingfeng buried his bitterness. He said with a smile, “Nothing, I went for a walk.”

He could not tell her he went to send Ruyan Liu off. Xue Lin would be upset so he could only tell her he went for a walk. Qingfeng had a headache. Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu were both women he loved. He did not want either of them to be hurt. In the end, he still broke Ruyan Liu’s heart.

Sometimes, he would ask himself if he was more accommodating to Xue Lin only because she was his wife.

“Dear, you look sick. Are you okay?” Xue Lin asked with concern.
She saw that Qingfeng’s face was pale and he seemed down. This was the first time she had seen him like this.

Qingfeng sighed in his heart when he saw Xue Lin’s concern. He had already hurt a woman’s heart. He must not hurt another woman’s heart.

“I’m okay. It was cold in the morning, I got a cold when I went for a walk,” Qingfeng said with a smile.

“I will make you some brown sugar ginger tea. Rest for a bit,” Xue Lin said with concern. Then, she went into the kitchen to make Qingfeng the brown sugar ginger tea.

Xue Lin has become very skilled at cooking. She first cur the ginger into pieces then placed it into boiling water. Finally, she added the brown sugar and finished making the brown sugar ginger tea.
Xue Lin used a ceramic bowl to hold the brown sugar ginger tea. She brought it to Qingfeng’s side and said warmly, “You caught a cold. Have some of this.”

Xue Lin remembered clearly that Qingfeng had made her brown sugar ginger tea when she was ill. Her cold went away quickly after she drank the tea. Thus, she made Qingfeng the tea as he was sick.
Qingfeng did not really have a cold but he could not turn down Xue Lin. Thus, he drank the brown sugar ginger tea.

“Hubby, go rest for a while. I will change and then we can give out the wedding invitations,” Xue Lin said with a smile as she walked towards the bedroom on the second floor.

They had planned to give the wedding invitations to her family today.

In a moment, Xue Lin walked down the stairs in a white dress. She looked like a blooming white lotus with her snow-white skin and white dress.

Qingfeng finished the brown sugar ginger tea and walked out of the mansion with Xue Lin. There were three more days before their weddings. They were sending out invitations to their parents and friends.

The first people they were inviting were Xue Lin’s family. To be honest, Qingfeng had only met Xue Lin’s parents once.

Some time ago, after the poison spider tried to assassinate Xue Lin, Qingfeng had met her parents when they came to visit her. He had never seen them again.

The Lin Family was a big family in Eastern Sea City. They were the biggest family outside of the four big families. But now, the Chen and Wang Families were extinguished by Qingfeng. The Lin and Ye Family had become part of the new four big families.

Qingfeng could not go visit his in-laws empty handed. He needed to bring a gift. He went to the Walmart nearby and bought the eight piece bethrothal gift. He then took a 10 million cheque and headed towards Xue Lin’s house.

XueLin’s parents lived in a mansion in the eastside. It was located in the suburbs and very quiet there. Rich people in modern society tend to choose to live in the suburbs. The air quality was much better than the city; it was better for their health.

Qingfeng arrived at his in-laws’ house. Since his hands were full, Xue Lin knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock!

Xue Lin knocked thrice on the door. A young man in his twenties opened the door. The young man looked unhappily at Xue Lin.

“Why are you here?” The young man asked.

Xue Lin frowned slightly when she heard his words. She said coldly, “This is my home, why can’t I be here.”

Xue Lin’s tone was bad as well. Her words made the young man speechless and his expression turned sour.

“Who is he?” The young man asked as he looked at Qingfeng.
Even though Xue Lin did not like this young man, but she said, “He is your brother-in-law, Qingfeng.”

“Brother-in-law? Is he the man who depended on you to live?” The young man said with a sneer as he looked at Qingfeng.

He did not like Xue Lin so he did not like Qingfeng too. He was happy to insult Qingfeng and Xue Lin.

“Hai Lin, he is your brother-in-law. Be more respectful,” Xue Lin said unhappily to the young man.

“Tsk tsk, Xue Lin. I never said you are my sister. Why should he be my brother-in-law,” Hai Lin said as he looked at Qingfeng with disdain.

His voice was filled with disdain. He did not respect Qingfeng and Xue Lin at all.

Chapter 366: Visiting Xue Lin’s House

Hai Lin, Xue Lin’s younger brother?

Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up. From the conversation between the two he understood the young man in front of him was Xue Lin’s step brother, with the same father but different mother.

Qingfeng Li heard Xue Lin said her father really wanted a son, but her mother became infertile after giving birth to Xue Lin. So the father had an affair with another woman and gave birth to a son, named Hai Lin. That son was probably the young man in front of him right now.

Qingfeng Li knew that the relationship between Xue Lin and Hai Lin wasn’t close. This was because even though they had the same father, their mothers were different.

In terms of what Hai Lin called him, Qingfeng Li was mad. What the f*ck, who does he think he is. Not only did he looked down on Xue Lin, he even looked down on him.

“Kid, are you stupid? Do you have mental problems?” Qingfeng Li said to Hai Lin with a slight smile.

Since Hai Lin denied Xue Lin and criticized the brother-in-law as well, Qingfeng Li didn’t have to go easy on him. He was going to teach him a lesson and let him know Qingfeng Li wasn’t someone who backed down.

What, I am stupid?

Hai Lin was extremely mad from hearing Qingfeng Li saying he was stupid. He was young, extremely healthy, not even close to being mentally weak or slow. Doesn’t that mean that Qingfeng Li was cursing him?

“Bastard, you are stupid and mental.” Hai Lin glared at Qingfeng Li.

“You tend to wet your bed a lot when you sleep at night.” Qingfeng Li glared back and said mysteriously.

Wetting the bed meant the mental system was underdeveloped, or not integrated well. The patient’s face was normally grey, with dark spots on the nose and between the brows.

Qingfeng Li used Chinese medicine’s observation technique and saw that Hai Lin wets his bed, just like Haiyang Chen.

His Chinese medicine skills were incredible. But in order to see if others were sick or not, he had to use his observation technique.
For example, when Qingfeng Li was together with Ruyan Liu, he didn’t use observation technique. Thus he wasn’t able to detect Ruyan Liu’s pregnancy. If he were to use it, he would of find out.

Hai Lin’s face changed and looked at Qingfeng Li with shock. He just wetted his bed yesterday night and was scolded by his girlfriend. She said he was too old to be wetting his bed.

His habit of bed wetting was only known by him and his girlfriend, no one else. How did Qingfeng Li know?

Maybe he was a godly doctor, able to see through his sickness. Hai Lin was scared, and a bit of fear filled his eyes as he looked at Qingfeng Li.

Everyone had that one side they didn’t want others to know. If Hai Lin’s sickness was known by others, then it meant everyone saw through him. Naturally, he would be scared.

Hai Lin didn’t want others to know that he still wet his bed, so he was scared to look down at Qingfeng Li for the moment. Instead, he was scared.

“Ya, little Xue you came back. Come in.” Hearing the voices at the door, Shi Lin came out. He saw Xue Lin first and was extremely happy.

The reason Shi Lin didn’t like Xue Lin before was because she was a girl, and he wanted a son. But now that he had a son, and Xue Li even married the son of the Li family, naturally he became happy.

Shi Lin knew even though Qingfeng Li wasn’t as welcomed in the Li family, he was still the son of Li family. In Eastern Sea City. A lot of people would still respect him.

When Shi Lin told the giant figures in the business world that his son-in-law was the son of the Li family, they began trying to form partnerships and be in business with him. Now, the Lin family was one of the top four families in Eastern Sea City, and it was partially credited to Qingfeng Li.

“Qingfeng came as well! Come in, both of you.” Shi Lin was filled with smile.

Seeing Shi Lin come out, Hai Lin could only back off to the side. He looked at Qingfeng Li unwillingly; his eyes filled with a mixture of emotions.

Even though Hai Lin still had mix-feelings towards Qingfeng Li, one thing was sure, he became more honest. Ever since Qingfeng Li revealed that he still wet his bed, Hai Lin became frank; scared that Qingfeng Li would tell other people about his sickness.

Shi Lin invited Qingfeng Li and Xue Lin into the living room. Xiaoyun Mu started getting busy: pouring tea and grabbing treats for the two.

Xiaoyun Mu was Qingfeng Li’s mother-in-law, and birth-mother of Xue Lin. She was a virtuous woman. Her only flaw was that she couldn’t give birth anymore after having Xue Lin.

Even though Shi Lin wanted and liked his son more, he was nice to Xiaoyun Mu as well as he didn’t divorce with her. Of course, Shi Lin had thoughts of getting divorce. But ever since Xue Lin married Qingfeng Li, he wouldn’t have dared to divorce.

As the saying goes, discarded children of a big family were not welcomed in the family but were still part of the big family. Shi Lin wouldn’t have dared to offend them.

“Qingfeng, you are being too kind. Why did you bring so many things?” Seeing the things Qingfeng Li brought made Shi Lin extremely happy.

All these things Qingfeng Li bought were not cheap. Every single item was the best out there, and extremely expensive. Even though Shi Lin wasn’t poor, this was his son-in-law’s presents, so naturally he would be happy.

He felt when he told others tomorrow at work that the son of the Li family, his son-in-law, brought him a lot of gifts, everyone would envy him. The more presents the better, Huaxia’s society was all about reciprocity. As long as you bring presents, the other party will be happy.

“Father, mother, Xue Lin and I are planning to host a wedding. This is our gifts for you.” Qingfeng Li pointed to the items he bought and brought out a cheque of ten million.

Seeing the cheque on the table, Shi Lin’s eyes brightened up. He was definitely worthy of being the son of the Li family, so wealthy. Just a deposit for the wedding was worth ten million.

Ten million, this was Shi Lin’s company one-year revenue. Of course, he was happy. The more he looked at Qingfeng Li the happier he was becoming.

For Shi Lin, ten million was one year’s revenue, but for Qingfeng Liu, ten million was nothing. One of his perfect Emperor jade sold for one hundred million.

Lunch was cooked by the mother-in-law and Xue Lin also went to help in the kitchen. Her cooking skilsl were extremely good now. Qingfeng Li and Shi Lin were drinking tea in the living room. Because lunch was still going to take some time, the two took out a table and started playing Go.

“Hehe, my father is an expert in Go, can you win?” Hai Lin glared at Qingfeng Li. (TL: Holy f*ck, is Qingfeng gonna be good at Go too?)

Chapter 367: Beating Father-In-Law in Go

Hearing what Hai Lin said, Qingfeng Li just smiled. He knew that Hai Lin was trying to hold in his anger from before, but now he couldn’t hold it any longer.

Qingfeng Li was right, Hai Lin couldn’t anymore. Seeing how his father and Qingfeng were going to play Go, he had to mock Qingfeng Li. He knew that his father played Go a lot, and was extremely skillful. Not a lot of people could beat him.

“Qingfeng, ignore him. I am only mediocre. Come on, let us play one round.” Shi Lin took out the pieces.

He loved Go; it was his biggest hobby. Every time someone came to visit, he had to play them. His son-in-law finally came, so naturally he had to play a round with him.

In all honesty, Shi Lin mainly wanted to let his son-in-law know he was still respectable through his Go skills. Even though his status couldn’t compete with the Li family, in other fields such as Go, he was still skillful.

Go was a strategic board game. People in ancient times loved this game and it became popular in the Eastern Dragon Continent.

Shi Lin placed the first piece down on the table. Go used squared boards and two colors of pieces, black and white, to play. There were 19 lines horizontally and vertically, creating 361 intersections. Shi Lin used white and Qingfeng Li used black.

Shi Lin placed his first piece in the middle. His strategy was to be extremely safe; going one step at a time. In comparison Qingfeng Li was extremely risky. He placed his first piece at the bottom right corner. Qingfeng Li was going for high-risk-high-reward strategy.

Seeing Qingfeng Li’s piece, Shi Lin’s eyes were filled with confusion. The location of Qingfeng Li’s piece was remote; it was almost like he didn’t want to fight him straight on.
Shi Lin’s second piece also landed in the middle, but this time to the left. He wanted to surround Qingfeng Li’s territory and force him into the corner.

But Qingfeng Li’s next piece baffled Shi Lin. Once again, he placed his black piece at the corner of the table, but this time at the left corner. His previous piece was at the right corner.
Shi Lin was confused by Qingfeng Li’s black pieces because he wasn’t playing like a normal person. A piece on the left corner a piece on the right corner, what was he thinking. The two pieces were too far from each other; how could he surround the other side.

Shi Lin thought Qingfeng Li probably didn’t know how to play Go and was placing the pieces randomly. Thus, he continued to place his white piece. Every he placed his white piece Qingfeng Li immediately followed with a black piece.

Unconsciously, the two placed a lot of pieces down already. The board was almost filled.

“Ah, since when did my white pieces get surrounded?” Shi Lin’s face changed.

He discovered all his white pieces were already surrounded by Qingfeng Li.

Lost, I lost. Shi Lin’s eyes were filled with shock. He didn’t think that on Go he would lose to his son-in-law. In addition, he couldn’t even fight back.

Father lost?

Hai Lin’s mouth was wide open. Other people didn’t know how strong his father’s Go was, but he knew. Even some of the professionals lost to his father. Now, his father had lost to Qingfeng Li; it was a complete defeat as well.

“Father-in-law, you said your Go skill was mediocre. I guess you weren’t lying.” Qingfeng Li smiled.

When Shi Lin told him his Go skills were just ok, Qingfeng Li thought he was being modest. But he found out, his father-in-law’s skill was really mediocre; he wasn’t lying.

To be honest, when Qingfeng Li was placing his pieces, he was thinking for the father-in-law. He already gave him too many opportunities. Many times Qingfeng Li could of won, but he let him go.

In the end, Qingfeng Li gave him too many chances, he could only defeat him.

“Qingfeng. My skills are actually pretty good. You said my skills were mediocre is too hurtful.” Shi Lin thought in his head.
Of course, these were all Shi Lin’s thought. He wouldn’t say it out loud because it would be even more embarrassing. The father-in-law lost to his son-in-law; it would drop his reputation a lot.

“The meal is ready. Shi Lin, what happened to your face.” Mother-in-law asked after finished cooking.

Shi Lin tensed his brows and said, “Of course my face doesn’t look well. I was playing Go with Qingfeng, but I lost.”

What? lost?

Xiaoyun Mu’s eyes were filled with confusion. She knew that her husband’s Go skills were extremely high, how come he lost. Qingfeng Li was only around 20 years old; how come his Go skills were so strong?

Shi Lin played Go a lot and Xiaoyun Mu saw him play Go a lot. Thus, she was able to tell who lost who won.

Xiaoyun Mu looked at the board; she wanted to see how many pieces her husband lost by. After just one look she was shocked: Shi Lin’s black pieces were completely surrounded by Qingfeng Li’s white pieces. He lost completely.
Xiaoyun Mu looked at Shi Lin with sympathy. Getting beaten at his favorite habit definitely saddened him.

Xue Lin came out at this time as well. She had some knowledge of Go as well. After one look she was able to tell Qingfeng Li beaten her father.

“Dear you are so good. It’s like you defeated dad’s army!” Xue Lin walked to Qingfeng Li’s side and said.

Xue Lin wasn’t close with her father because Shi Lin had preferred a boy more. When she was young, Shi Lin cared about Hai Lin more. Thus when she saw Qingfeng Li beat her father with Go, she was super happy.

What, beat me completely?

Hearing what Xue Lin said, Qingfeng Li gave her an awkward look. He is your father at the very least, you shouldn’t embarrass him too much.

Even though Xue Lin’s voice was low, Shi Lin still heard it. Shi Lin’s face reddened up and felt embarrassed. Shi Lin was feeling extremely embarrassed: her daughter was on his son-in-law’s side. She was embarrassing him.

Hearing what Xue Lin said, Hai Lin wasn’t happy. He wanted to scold Xue Lin; how could you describe father like that?

“Xue Lin, you can’t say that to father. Qingfeng Li didn’t just defeat dad’s army. He killed every single member of dad’s army, including the chickens and dogs.” Hai Xin looked at Xue Lin and said.
