After finis.h.i.+ng the lunch with the Ren"s, Li Xiuying, madame Qin and little 4th went shopping.Li Xiuying had to buy a new phone, some clothes and other necessities.
Madame Qin paid for the things due to Li Xiuying not having her card"s yet.
But she promised Li Xiuying that she would deduct the amount from little 4th"s surgery fees.
After Li Xiuying acquired everything she needed, they got into the car and headed for Li Xiuying"s new home.
Li Xiuying stood with Madame Qin, Little 4th and the bodyguard outside a set of luxury apartments.
Madame Qin looked over at Li Xiuying: "So what do you think?"
There was no response.
Li Xiuying was frowning. "This is not very low key."
Madam Qin: "Well, let"s go inside and take a look."
Li Xiuying and Little 4th constantly a.s.sessed the interior as they walked along.
Everything was so ostentatious, Li Xiuying was afraid of seeing what her apartment looked like.
They all walked to the reception desk where a neatly dressed woman stood, typing on the computer. She had her hair tied in a tight bun, her face looked fresh with little make-up. She was wearing a navy blue dress. She stopped typing and turned to face the people walking towards her desk.
Madame Qin: "h.e.l.lo, I"m Madame Qin I called earlier. I"m here to pick up the key card and paper work for apartment 5."
The receptionist a.s.sessed the trio in front of her.
When the receptionist heard "madame Qin" she thought that perhaps this woman could be from the Qin family. But she quickly disposed of that thought; she looked at the plain and cheap clothes the two women were wearing.
How could she possibly be from The Qin family?
Receptionist: "Are you sure you"re in the correct location?"
Madame Qin frowned. "Can I have the key card and paperwork?"
Receptionist: "I"m sorry Madame, do you have any ID, I"ll have to verify your ident.i.ty before I can give you a set of keys."
She stretched a palm towards Madame Qin.
Little 4th reprimanded: "Auntie why are you stretching your hand? Do you want a tip or a Hi5. We won"t give you either hmph."
Li Xiuying asked inquisitively: "Alien hand syndrome?"
Receptionist was getting frustrated: "What Alien Hi5? I"m asking for ID!"
Who are these people? Clearly I"m asking for ID!!!
Madame Qin didn"t bring any photo ID with her, she looked to Li Xiuying.
Li Xiuying removed her rucksack, took out her ID and placed it on the reception desk ignoring the outstretched hand.
The receptionist picked up the badge.
The receptionist was not amused: "Can I have some real ID, this is clearly fake! How can you be a doctor when you"re 15!"
Li Xiuying took out her pa.s.sport and placed it on the reception desk.
Receptionist flipped through the pa.s.sport: "You"re 23?!"
She was utterly shocked.
Little 4th pointed to himself: "And I"m 4."
Little 4th pointed to the bodyguard.: "He Bo is 31."
Little 4th: "And mum said you shouldn"t ask a lady her age, so don"t be rude Auntie."
Madame Qin was getting tired of waiting around. She took her phone out of her purse and messaged her husband.
Receptionist: "I think it"s best for the four of you to leave."
She placed Li Xiuying"s ID back on the desk and smiled at them.
Seeing that none of the people before her were making a move to leave after 5 minutes, she felt she had been more than patient.
The receptionist picked up the phone to call security, just when she was about to dial; she saw a man in a suit frantically running towards the reception as if he was being chased by a lion.
Receptionist was astonished to see her manager in such a state: "Manager!"
The man stopped a foot from madame Qin.
Manager breathlessly said: "Ma.. ma.. madam Qin. I"m so Sorry I wasn"t here when you arrived. I"m the Manager Zhu Bai."
Manager Zhu Bai went behind the reception desk and took out the paperwork for apartment 5 and the key card.
Manager Zhu Bai: "The contract is for 3 months, we have also organised the garage s.p.a.ce you requested."
Manager Zhu addressed Li Xiuying: "Dr. Li please sign the contract if you are happy with the accommodation." He handed everything over to Li Xiuying.
Li Xiuying and the Qin"s headed to the lift.
Manager Zhu stared at the receptionist. He was too tired to shout so he just stated: "w.a.n.g Juan. Do you know who you just spoke to? That was madame Qin and Little Master Qin of the QIN FAMILY. They own the building."
w.a.n.g Juan stood with her mouth open and closing like a fish.
But they looked so normal, how could they be the Qin"s? What have I just done?
....
Apartment 5
He Bo placed all the shopping bags in the hallway.
Li Xiuying was very happy with her new home. The whole apartment was fully furnished. It had two bedrooms that were painted in grays and whites, the master bedroom also had an en-suite. The living room was painted in warm tones and had rays of sunlight entering from the large windows that went across one wall. The kitchen was white and there was more than enough s.p.a.ce for dinning.
Li Xiuying was happy that everything was warm and bright.
This is mine.
Madame Qin: "Are you happy with everything?"
Li Xiuying gave a nod.
Madame Qin was happy: "That"s wonderful! Your car will be within parking slot 5 later on this evening, but you can pick up the keys from the reception any time you want. Call me if you need anything, we"ll be leaving now so you can get accustomed to your new place."
Little 4th"s cute little face dropped the moment he heard he would have to leave his big sister.
Little 4th was going to say something but his mother gave him a look that said don"t even think about it. He swallowed his words and stuck out his bottom lip.
Li Xiuying:" Thank you"
The Qin"s left apartment 5.
Little 4th kept looking back at the closed apartment door, madame Qin picked little 4th up because he was lagging behind. It looked as if he was being torn away from the love of his life and longing for her to come and rescue him from his wicked mother.
Big sister YingYinggggggggggggg!
Inside the apartment Li Xiuying was sitting on her sofa with a smile.
This is my home.
