Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2771: Chapter 2769: As One Walks the Jianghu

As for why Lin Ziqi said that, it’s because his mother was not from around there. She brought him to live there, and he didn’t know who his father was as his mother had never told him.

He used to ask, but his mother told him not to, so he never asked about his father again.

His mother only told him to keep the jade safe and not lose it, so he always remembered that and never parted with it.

If it weren’t for Qin Xue taking it, the jade would never have left his side.

But now he’s being told there might be something going on with it, making his strange feeling even stronger.

"Forget it, it’s pointless to ask. I’m leaving. By the way, don’t do things like that anymore. Life’s unpredictable, and you never know when you’ll slip up. If you get caught by someone more skilled, you’ll end up in prison. Once you’re in, getting out and finding freedom isn’t easy." Qin Xue knew that in this era, going to prison made it difficult to regain freedom.

And one would be bullied inside, so all she could do was advise him a bit.

As for what to do, it’s really up to him. Some things are beyond explanation, and he’ll have to decide for himself.

Qin Xue didn’t want anything happening to Lin Ziqi, partly because of the jade, and partly because she didn’t think he was truly a bad person.

Sometimes, the professions people choose are due to life’s pressures. Qin Xue knew Lin Ziqi wasn’t actually out of options either.

This outcome was something Qin Xue hadn’t initially expected because she didn’t realize the depth of their entanglement.

But now, hearing him say he didn’t know, she hoped he wouldn’t continue down that path.

He could completely learn some skills to make a living instead of resorting to petty theft, couldn’t he?

She could say it, but whether he’d do it was up to him.

"Don’t worry about my affairs, just return the jade to me. I don’t even know how you got it. Can you tell me?" Lin Ziqi initially guessed that Qin Xue and her companions had taken it, but he hadn’t expected Qin Xue herself took it.

Because he thought it was the man beside her who had taken it, only to be surprised when Qin Xue said she did.

Qin Xue glanced at Lin Ziqi. She wouldn’t tell him that she had asked Xue Ling to help her take it.

Because when she sensed Lin Ziqi’s intention, she had communicated with Xue Ling, who helped her out.

But how could she explain all this to Lin Ziqi? Of course, she couldn’t tell him, or she’d have no secrets left.

Qin Xue’s secret lies here, so she couldn’t tell him anything, leaving him puzzled instead.

"If I told you, how would I survive?"

Qin Xue’s words silenced Lin Ziqi, and indeed, this was her skill for making a living. How could she tell him?

Lin Ziqi realized he asked something he shouldn’t have and didn’t say more, but wasn’t there really a problem? How come he couldn’t believe it?

The main thing was that this woman’s ability seemed incredible to him, outpacing him without him even noticing, proving one thing: that her skills surpassed his.

This was what he realized after concluding Qin Xue had taken the jade. But what happens next, he’ll have to see what she does.

No matter the situation, once someone has developed a survival skill, they won’t easily reveal it, which he understood.

So after Qin Xue didn’t elaborate, he didn’t find it odd, just unfortunate.
