Chapter 348: 353 All is due to bad habits_1

Not long after Qin Muchuan had left, Lin Xiangwan rose from her bed.

She took a bath and then put on some makeup.

While she was dallying in the shower room, she saw Qin Muchuan’s clothes in the laundry basket!

Out of habit, she picked up his clothes and started feeling in the pockets.

Butler Liu walked in, seeing her actions, he smiled. "Miss is so meticulous. However, the young master is also very careful, he would never leave anything in his pockets!"

"I know, but I have OCD. I get restless if I see dirty clothes and don’t check their pockets. I’m always afraid that something important will be damaged in the wash. This habit started when I was at school. At that time, a kind aunt came to the orphanage, and she liked me very much. She secretly gave me two hundred yuan and asked me to save it! Two hundred yuan was a tremendous sum then, I was practically fainting!"

Butler Liu just listened without interrupting. Miss’s past was very pitiful, but now she had money, and status. She could bring up her past struggles when she indicates it is okay to discuss them, but others in her current situation should know better than to broach the topic.

"Two hundred yuan was really important to me. I couldn’t let the dean know that I had this money. If he knew, he would confiscate it, saying that it was a public fund, but I think it would certainly fatten their own pockets. I had to hide it from other children, because they would steal it for sure. So, I hid the two hundred yuan inside a quilted jacket. Winter passed and it was time to wash the jacket and put it away. Like other children, I washed clothes in the washing room, which was quite big, with a long row of faucets. I felt invincible when I washed clothes there! I scrubbed hard and washed rigorously. After uncountable washes, the clothes were finally spun dry and hung outside!"

"Then... the money was washed without being taken out?" Butler Liu asked, following her story.

Lin Xiangwan nodded vigorously. "Yes, absolutely! It wasn’t until after the clothes were hung on the clothesline that I remembered. I grabbed a chair like a madwoman, took down the clothes, and pulled out the money. By then, it had been washed into a ball."

"The money should still be durable though, even if it’s all bunched up? It’s still spendable, right?" Butler Liu, who had been the Muchuan’s housemaid here for a while, said with some experience.

"It could be spent, yes! But good money had been tortured beyond recognition. I was heartbroken until I spent the two hundred yuan!" Lin Xiangwan recalled the past, thinking of that bittersweet moment. "So ever since then, I have had a habit of checking pockets before doing laundry!"

So, as usual, she checked the previous pockets, which were all empty.

But when she reached into his chest pocket, Lin Xiangwan really found a small piece of paper folded into a neat square!

She pulled it out absentmindedly, thinking it was something insignificant.

But on closer look, she saw a logo of a certain jewelry brand. She was very familiar with this logo as she just bought something from that brand for a kid the day before.

It was the logo of that jewelry store!

She opened it indifferently, wondering: how did the receipt end up in his possession? She remembered putting the receipt in the jewelry box!

However, when she opened it and saw the jewelry codes and weight written on it, she couldn’t help but feel taken aback.

This receipt was not for the jewelry she bought for Tongtong and Ranran. The one for their jewelry should have listed two necklaces, but this receipt only listed one. And it also included a note about a deposit.

Qin Muchuan bought a necklace, but it wasn’t for Tongtong and Ranran. Then who was it for?

Butler Liu noticed Lin Xiangwan’s face turn sour, he quickly retreated in silence. "Miss, do you still want to go to the supermarket?"

"Yes..."

Lin Xiangwan replied absentmindedly, looking again at the thing in her hands!

Soon, Qin Muchuan’s assistant arrived unexpectedly.

"Xiaoliu, why are you here?" Asked Butler Liu, who opened the door.

As the assistant hurriedly walked into the villa, he explained, "CEO Qin left an important document behind and asked me to retrieve it!"

On his way to the bedroom, he saw the CEO’s wife, Lin Xiangwan, still there. The assistant was clearly taken aback and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh, Madam is also here, I thought Madam had gone out!"

"Oh? Were you hoping I had gone out?" Lin Xiangwan asked with a smile.

"No way!" The assistant waved his hands. "I just heard from the CEO that you were going to the supermarket this morning, which is why he asked me to come and grab the thing!"

"Oh, what exactly are you looking for? I’ll help you find it!" Despite the reluctance and displeasure in her heart, she knew better than to show it in front of an outsider!

The assistant began to stutter even more. "I... I’m not sure what it is. The CEO just told me to look around the room. He said I’d definitely find it!"

"I see..." Lin Xiangwan denied the assistant’s request. "Just tell me what it looks like, and I’ll help you find it!"

"Uh..." The assistant appeared even more embarrassed. He thought for a moment, then said, "Uh... well, Madam, although the CEO mentioned a document, it’s essentially a contract. Just a single piece of paper."

Lin Xiangwan gradually made sense of it. She understood what the assistant had come back to find. "It’s hard to find a single piece of paper. Did your CEO mention where he put it?"

"No!" The assistant’s eyes drifted uncomfortably toward the bathroom, and then he suddenly clutched his stomach as though in unbearable pain. His legs started to shift uneasily. "Oh... Madam, my stomach hurts terribly. Could I use your bathroom?"

Lin Xiangwan gave a small smile. "Of course, go ahead!"

"Thank you, thank you!" Like a scurrying mouse, the assistant hurried into the bathroom!

Lin Xiangwan remained unmoved, standing still, observing everything happening before her as if it were a stage performance.

Soon, the assistant came out of the bathroom, sliding the glass door open.

"Did you find the document?" Lin Xiangwan asked with concern.

The assistant shook his head. "Not yet. Perhaps the CEO forgot where he left it. Let me call him to ask!"

"Oh!" Lin Xiangwan smiled warmly again.

Feeling embarrassed, the assistant continued, "I’m sorry, Madam, I had an unbearable stomachache just now, and sudenly used the bathroom in your bedroom, I’m truly sorry!"

"That’s fine!"

"Well... well, I’ll go ask the CEO again!" As the assistant finished, he moved to leave.

"Assistant Liu!" Lin Xiangwan suddenly called out.

The young male assistant quickly turned his head. "Madam, do you need anything?" He asked nervously.

"Are you looking for this?" Lin Xiangwan showed him the order agreement!

The assistant took it and looked at it. His face turned extremely embarrassed. "Madam, I... the CEO..."
