Ceo’s Fierce Lady Immortal - Chapter 279
Qin HuZao’s been dead tired.
He’s deadly tired these past weeks!
What the heck?!
Where did Qin Yu go?
And he is missing for the entire week! Not even a call, no video call, nor chats!
Qin Huzao had been temporarily managing and setting affairs of the company based on Qin Yu’s command. In the absence of him, he was doing the signatures and attending meetings of various sectors.
If there is one thing that Qin HuZao was very thankful within these days, is that Yulin – that old man isn’t that as meddlesome as before. How could he, when he is in the hospital lying these days? Yulin was attacked by his asthma when he went to a charity event of the company. Yulin has an allergy to the flowers and almost everyone in the company knew it. It’s just that there was a little miscommunication in the event organization. When he came to the event, he was met with a lot of flowers in different varieties as a welcome gift.
The resulting scenario was that he stayed in the hospital for a couple of weeks.
It’s really a good thing that he was in the hospital since he didn’t need to meddle in the company affairs at all.
The only thing that he was agitated at the moment, is that how he could explain to Qin Yu’s parents about their son’s disappearance with prior notice.
Since he already knew his aunt’s personality. She will not stop pestering him unless they extract the truth.
Haist.
How could he explain it?
“Uncle are you alright?” Qin Tao went into his desk. The child wanted to borrow his uncle’s new tab since he really likes the specs of it.
Qin HuZao looked at the kid that Qin Yu abandoned in his stead. These days, he didn’t know, but the child kept on urging him to accompany him to the office, along with his baby sitter he allowed the two to be with him.
” No. No. Uncle was just grumbling. Just go over there. Uncle’s job will be finished and will go to the nearby restaurant for dinner.
“Ah, Uncle, my grandmother called me asking for my father’s whereabouts.”
What?
Qin HuZao looked at the child,
“What did you say to her?”
Qin Tao shrugged off, ” I told her that he went somewhere with mother.”
“Mother?”
“Yup.”
Qi Tao didn’t like much to talk to other people. When he got the tab from his uncle, he went back afar. “Wait! Who’s your mother?”
Qin Tao didn’t answer. He was fully aware of his father’s arrangement with his master, and he didn’t hate it.
Qin Tao hadn’t had gone far when his personal phone rang. As expected, it was his aunt. HuZao immediately answered it without hesitation and spoke, ” Hello aunt?”
“HuZao, you are not answering your phone lately, are you ignoring my calls nowadays?”
Hehe. He is. ” Of course not Aunt. I happened to turn this on silent mode since I Am still in the conference earlier, I just got back here now.’
“Alright. Ah Tao told me that Xiao Yu is on vacation with his fiancee. It’s all right. I won’t disturb them. I just want to call on you and ask your situation there since your cousin is out. If you are having trouble balancing the company and your love life, tell aunt, I’ll ask the directors to assist you.”
“It’s alright, Aunt. I can manage.” And I don’t even have a love life.
HuZao grumped on the sideline.
Is he the only one that didn’t know that damn Xiao Yu already picked a fiancee?!

“Ah Tao, since when did your father hooked with some random woman? Why I didn’t know about it?”
Qin HuZao sulked as they seated in a reserved restaurant. Seating near the glass window, Qin Tao observed the dim outside cramped with people coming from their offices. When he heard his uncle spoke, he put down the lemonade juice he was drinking, ” It’s not some random woman, it’s my master.”
“Ah, right your master…”
Qin Huzao tried to recall in his memories the person Qin Tao always called master.
He remembered when he spied Qin Yu back then in that villa, although he didn’t have time to face the woman but was faced with her fierce sister.
Having his own resources, he investigated that woman and came with the result.
He thought the woman was only a gold digger. Clinging to Qin Yu for his glory. But the truth was the saddest. It came to him that it was his cousin who had fallen head over heels in love with that woman. Qin Yu was the one clinging to her!
“Say, is this master of yours…”
“Aunt know her too. Daddy introduced her already.”
See. He’s the one left in the dark with this matter.
“I see. So where did your father met her?” Although Qin Huzao had once investigated this woman, yet he couldn’t point out when they did they meet? Or how this developed into the worst scenario that Qin Yu clings to her side.
Qin HuZao’s gossip monger side had been triggered. A piece of fleshy news is in front of him, will he let it ran away? Therefore, his eyes sparkle as he looked at the eating child.
Qin Tao sensed his Uncle’s mood fluctuation and evaded his ever first-ever question. Ai, he didn’t want to talk to him, ah.
“Uncle, I am tired for today. No matter what you wanted to ask, just ask it tomorrow. I want to retire and return home.”
Qin HuZao’s eyes dim, yet he still abides on his request.
Ai, ai your highness. “If Qin Tao is tired. Then let us go home now.”

It was dark.
Eerily dark.
Su Ci Yi’s eyelids flipped a few times. Before opening her eyes, she tried to examine her surroundings. Her fall earlier was long and narrow.
She tried to feel her sword on her side.
Good. It’s right before her.
When she was sure that it was safe to open her eyes and evaluate the surroundings, a massive deep tone erupted in her ears. The source of the voice was far, yet she could feel the timbre and the deepness of the sound.
“So, have you woken up?”
It was cold; as cold as ice.
Su Ci Yi flinched and ducked around the corner. Her eyes flashed a trace of vigilance.
Just what is this sinister place?
