Chapter 318 - 319: Giving You the Household Registration Book
"Mo Bai, close the door." After returning to the room, the old lady spoke to Qin Mobai while walking in.
Qin Mobai closed the door, unsure of what the old lady intended to do today, but it appeared serious.
"Grandmother, you called me back, is there something you need?" Qin Mobai turned around to follow the old lady, wanting to assist her, but was refused.
The old lady walked to the bedside, lifted the mattress, and took out a dark red household registration book.
Probably only the elderly would store such things like household registration books under the mattress.
"Here’s the household registration book." The old lady handed it to Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai accepted it, still unaware of the old lady’s intentions.
"Your grandfather feared that one day you would go register with Lou Xi, so he hid the household registration book. But I think, if you’re determined, there’s no stopping you." The old lady’s expression was somber, her tone even more profound, "Previously, I’ve spent a few days with Lou Xi, and during those days, I couldn’t determine what kind of person she truly is. But since you chose her, she should be alright!"
While looking at the household registration book, Qin Mobai suddenly realized that his grandmother was agreeing to his marriage to Lou Xi.
"After all, she’s a virtuous young lady who’s chosen to be with you, and you, a child of the Qin Family, must not tarnish your reputation. You’re at an age where you should know better than to get caught in a scandal, how will you handle that?"
The old lady grew increasingly agitated as she spoke.
Yet Qin Mobai couldn’t understand what the old lady was talking about.
What does it mean, to be caught in a scandal?
"Wasn’t the hotel incident enough? Now the office! Are you trying to drive me to my grave?"
With those words, Qin Mobai understood, but maintained a calm exterior.
In the afternoon, everyone had left the office, leaving no outsiders aware of what happened between him and Lou Xi inside.
Even if the personnel from the CEO’s office overheard anything, they wouldn’t dare to report it to the old lady.
Two people who had visited his office that afternoon were Shen Ruozhuo and Mi Beier.
Earlier, when Qin Mobai came in, he had noticed Mi Beier and her demeanor was somewhat evasive.
"I always thought Belle was merely a bit willful, but now it seems she’s more than just that. From now on, I’ll limit her visits to our home to avoid any further trouble." The old lady regretted previously treating Mi Beier like a beloved grandchild.
If she hadn’t intervened in time, Mi Beier would have released the footage she filmed in the office earlier!
No matter what, releasing that video would undoubtedly have a terrible impact on Qin Mobai; even if she initially disapproved of Qin Mobai and Lou Xi being together, she couldn’t bear to see her grandson’s reputation ruined.
So, let’s forget it; if Qin Mobai wants to marry Lou Xi, then let him marry her!
"Grandmother, I understand." Qin Mobai held the household registration book in his hand, but his expression was exceptionally gloomy.
"Good you understand." The old lady handed another phone to Qin Mobai, "This is Belle’s phone. I’m getting on in years, not sure if there’s a backup inside."
...
After leaving the old lady’s room, Qin Mobai didn’t immediately go to the living room but went to his room on the second floor instead.
He powered on Mi Beier’s phone and indeed found a backup within.
As an IT expert, Qin Mobai effortlessly deleted all data on Mi Beier’s phone.
