Chapter 171 Du Hao!
"Mom, it's just a small business, nothing illegal or criminal," Qin Jiang said with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't do anything that would lose my conscience."
Without hesitation, Qin Jiang immediately sent his mother and sister into Tianlong Garden No. 1 and then drove Shen Longting's Cullinan to Xu Muge's residential complex.
"Another luxury car has arrived! Even fiercer than that Maybach from just now!" The residential complex security guard couldn't help but comment as he watched the Cullinan pull up.
Qin Jiang also saw the Maybach at the entrance of the complex.
Though he had bought Xu Muge a house, she had not yet moved in, so it was rare to see a luxury car like a Maybach in this old neighborhood.
"A Jinling license plate?" Qin Jiang noticed the plate and his brow immediately furrowed. The family had just experienced trouble; could it be that Xu Muge was also in trouble now?
Qin Jiang hurriedly rushed into the complex.
At that moment, inside Xu Muge's home, Xu Muge and Liu Ya were cooking, while Xu Jinhong was sitting in the living room, chatting and drinking tea with a handsome, gentle, and refined-looking young man.
That young man was none other than Xu Muge's senior from university, Du Hao!
The two were chatting happily, their faces full of smiles.
It wasn't until the door was knocked that their conversation stopped.
Xu Jinhong frowned slightly, guessing that the visitor was likely Qin Jiang.
Du Hao's brows also knitted together.
After all, Xu Muge had mentioned Qin Jiang on his way to the Xu family's place.
"Qin Jiang, oh Qin Jiang, it seems everything you did back in school was an act, deliberately avoiding Xu's pursuit just to play hard to get!" Du Hao scoffed to himself. This time, he was determined to show Qin Jiang up; with his current status and strength, it would be easy! In his eyes, Qin Jiang was nothing more than a man dependent on Xu Muge.
Hardly worth mentioning…
"It should be Qin Jiang," Xu Muge said with a beaming smile, running to open the door.
Seeing Xu Muge's happy demeanor made Du Hao's heart burn with indignation; that look of joy should have been sparked by his own presence, and yet it was because of Qin Jiang!
A mere kept man!
Xu Jinhong kept an eye on Du Hao. Seeing his discontented expression, his heart couldn't help but leap with joy. His daughter was outstanding and certainly not lacking in pursuit from excellent young men.
"Du Hao is much more reliable than Qin Jiang, who always seems to get into big trouble," Xu Jinhong thought to himself.
As parents naturally hope for their daughter to lead a good life.

This scene made Du Hao clench his teeth in envy and resentment.
Xu Jinhong frowned and waved his hand, "Since you're here, come sit down."
"What's wrong?" Xu Muge sensed that something was amiss.
Qin Jiang let go of her and smiled tacitly, not wanting to worry her with his thoughts.
Back then, Xu Muge had chosen the same university as Qin Jiang in an attempt to pursue him; therefore, Du Hao was also Qin Jiang's senior.
The two had even clashed over Xu Muge.
However, back then, Qin Jiang was too self-conscious, always dodging Xu Muge's pursuit. Despite Du Hao's repeated provocations and troublemaking, Qin Jiang had not paid him any attention at the time.
"Junior Brother Qin Jiang, it has been a long time since we last met after graduating from university," Du Hao said, gently setting down his teacup and rising to his feet elegantly, smiling as he asked, "I wonder what kind of business you're into now? You're a man after all; you can't be assisting Xu all the time, can you?"
"I've heard from Uncle Xu that Xu is planning to start her own company. I happen to be in Jiangcheng to develop some projects. If Junior Brother Qin Jiang needs any help, just let me know! I can certainly lend you a hand, especially since I'm here representing Jinling's Xiao Family this time! Presumably, you must have heard of Jinling's Xiao Family, haven't you?"
