“D-Did you just hit me, Jinhuan?!” Yin Anran couldn’t believe her own eyes. She gave Qin Jinhuan a death glare, her eyes tearing up as she did so.
On the other hand, Qin Jinhuan had a cold look on his face; there wasn’t the slightest hint of warmth in his tone as he said, “How dare you lay hands on my woman? Do you have a death wish?”
Immediately, Yin Anran understood what was going on. She felt her chest burning with rage and had to stop herself from calling Mu Yu a b*tch. With tears in her eyes, she stared at Qin Jinhuan as she asked, “What did she tell you, Jinhuan?”
He side-eyed her emotionlessly as he warned with a clear voice, “I won’t forget this—stay away from her in the future!”
“Jinhuan, how can you simply listen to her side of the story without asking me anything about what really happened? You’re being unfair to me!”
“Get out.”
“Jinhuan!”
“Get out!”
How could someone l
Qin Jinhuan’s eyes widened. He stared at Wen Zeyu—the only person who was free to enter his office at all times—as the latter walked hastily toward him. “I just received some news from South City Factory; a lot of the workers have decided to leave their jobs in the end. The assembly line is slowing down, and it’s probably going to affect the rate at which we are manufacturing our products!” Wen Zeyu shook the stack of papers in his hand as he continued, “This might also impact our scheduled orders; based on our calculations, the amount of compensation required to pay off the liquidated damages might go up to several billion! Huan, why don’t we agree to the worker’s requests for now? Just so…”“I want you to post up the recruitment advertisements for newcomers immediately.”“I’m afraid it’ll take a while for us to find skilled, older workers who are familiar with the job! If we hire a lot of newbies, we’d have to give them basic training—it will influence ou
“What is it?” Qin Xiaozhi anxiously glanced at Mu Yu once he realized the sudden change in her expression. “Uh… It’s nothing.” Mu Yu kept her legs pressed together as she forced a smile onto her face. “I just feel like going to the toilet all of a sudden. I’ll head there now, Grandpa.”“Go on. Take your time and don’t run there!” he uttered.“Alright! I’m fine, Grandpa.” Mu Yu answered him while she speedily walked toward the toilet. After she shut the door, she quickly opened the cupboard beneath the sink—she usually kept her sanitary pads there. What?! Why aren’t there any sanitary pads here?! She had just bought tons of boxes of pads during the last Black Friday sale; the entire cupboard had been stuffed with it! Wan Mingxiu—and occasionally, Li Xianglan too—usually cleaned her room up. Could they have taken all my sanitary pads away because they thought I was pregnant and wouldn’t be needing it for a while? Oh my God!Mu Yu pressed her legs
Under the well-lit streets, there was a 7-foot tall snow castle that was built on the land beside a stretch of wisteria trees. The mini castle was delicate and clear; it looked exactly like an actual castle.“Watch out, it’s slippery!” Qin Jinhuan followed closely behind Mu Yu as he reminded her.“Who made this? It can’t be you, can it?” Mu Yu was extremely surprised as she looked around, admiring the whole castle. Qin Jinhuan stood in front of the castle’s ‘grand entrance’ and beamed at her with his eyes narrowed. “Why can’t it be me?”“This looks like so much work…” Realizing that she should try her best not to offend him for anything, Mu Yu quickly changed the topic. “Did you come here right after you sent me home?”“No. I went back to the office,” he replied honestly.Mu Yu then gave him a ‘See, I knew it’ gaze as she grinned and looked at him. “I told you that it’s impossible for you to make this! Even if we don’t
“Okay.” After the series of surprises that came before this, Mu Yu was in high spirits. She ran downstairs with a grin on her face, picturing the sort of surprises that might await her as she made her way down. But when she arrived at the living hall, it was empty. She curiously glanced toward the entrance that was tightly shut. “Huan?” she called.“Over here.” His voice came from the dining area. She quickly followed his voice and went over. “You must be hungry, right?” He embraced her with a grin.“It smells great!” She greedily sniffed the tasty aroma of the dishes. “Where’s your surprise?” she asked, not forgetting what he had mentioned. Although she was starving, the idea of getting a surprise was much more attractive. “There.” He pointed toward the four dishes and a pot of soup that still had steam coming out of it.Mu Yu stared at him in disbelief and asked, “Are you saying that you prepared all of this?!” Although the dish
“Hello? Am I speaking to the brother-in-law of the owner of this phone?” Instantly, the man’s voice made Qin Jinhuan feel uneasy. He asked in return, “What happened to her?”“She was involved in a car accident—she’s currently stuck in the car.”“What!?” Qin Jinhuan sprung up. “Where is the accident? Have you called an ambulance?”“Who was in an accident?!” Mu Yu almost choked on her meal when she overheard the conversation.Qin Jinhuan ignored her and listened intently to the man’s voice. “It’s at South City Highway on Liu Family’s farmhouse road. I have already called for an ambulance with her cell phone; you should hurry over if you’re her brother-in-law.”“Is her condition life-threatening?” he asked as he walked briskly.“I don’t know; I tried nudging her a few times, but she didn’t move. She’s still breathing, though.”“Then you—hello? Hello?” Filled with exasperation, Qin J
Flinching awkwardly, Yin Anran quickly hid her phone behind her.“Give it to me,” Qin Jinhuan said sternly as he put his hand out.“I’m really hungry, Jinhuan.”She tried changing the subject again, but this time, Qin Jinhuan didn’t let her get away with it. Instead, he held her hands down roughly and snatched the phone away from her.“Jinhuan!”Qin Jinhuan pushed her hands away when she tried to grab the phone. “Who were you calling?” he questioned coldly.“M-My friend.”“Which friend is this? What’s their name?”“You don’t know this person—he’s a new friend of mine,” answered Yin Anran timidly with her gaze lowered. “Password.”“Jinhuan…”“Password, now!”The more Yin Anran acted evasively, the more suspicious he felt toward her. Unquestionably, he would not tolerate it if she was plotting something against Mu Yu.
How was it possible to have such sounds coming from Mu Yu’s room at this hour?!Could it be… Impossible! Yu is not that kind of person!Qin Jinhuan walked hastily into the room.The lights in the room were switched off and the room was shrouded in a pink-purple hue. The air had an inexplicable sensuality to it.In the middle of the room, the sheet covers of the big bed quivered slightly and the moans continued as his suspicion grew.He coughed gently to avoid any embarrassing situations.The movement under the sheets as well as the moans stopped after the cough; the ominous silence in the room made it seem as though nothing was out of place.He walked to the side of the bed and bent down as he gently called out her name.“Oh…”There was another moan, but there was something different about it; there was an underlying tone of pain in it.He realized that s
After a few more glances, Huang Bo decided to speak up. “Boss, there’s something I want to…”“Speak.”“While I was driving Assistant Yin’s car back to the hotel, I checked her car’s data recorder and found something strange.”Qin Jinhuan’s resting eyes suddenly opened wide, but he remained silent.Huang Bo knew that his boss was interested in what he was about to say and didn’t want to beat around the bush, but he was hesitant. “It could just be my own misconception…”“Just spill it.”“Yes, Boss. When Assistant Yin was driving from West Bay to the highway, her car’s speed was controlled around 100 mph; this highway is an enclosed section, so she was driving at regular speed. However, what bothers me is that Assistant Yin was about to reach the Liu Family’s farmhouse—the road where she had her accident—when she suddenly decelerated. Shortly after that, she knocked into the highway barrier. After examining t
"You ...""Dad, mom, you guys go back first," Shang Qi Qiang stopped his father who was about to have a seizure, and turned to Qin Jinhuan to apologize, "Big brother, a thousand mistakes are my fault, you let me meet Xiao Xi, I'll make amends to her and beg for her forgiveness.""Why are you the one making amends and begging for her forgiveness? It's not like she caused the accident! She caused it herself, okay?" Chen Juan was very dissatisfied with her son's words and immediately spoke out angrily, "It was her own fault that she deliberately found a reason to quarrel with you in the middle of the night and then ran out to meet another man before she got into the accident! Wasn't she at fault?"Chen Juan said while presenting the cell phone page about the intimate contact between Qin Chengxi and Fu Shaoyan to Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu to see, afraid that they do not know as if, completely ignoring the side of the husband and son who made all kinds of winks.Mu Ye
"Sister-in-law, go and pull my brother, but you can't ...""I know I know." Muyi pressed her to lie down, "You don't want to hurt the wound!""Don't mind me, I'm fine!""Okay, okay, I'll go persuade your brother." Knowing that she was in a hurry, Mu Yu waited for her to lie down and then ran out and instructed the nurse who had made special arrangements to take care of Qin Chengxi before leaving in a hurry.Seeing that Qin Jinhuan's figure had long since disappeared from the elevator entrance, she hurriedly called him and, upon learning that he was in the underground parking lot, immediately ordered him to wait for her to go down."What the hell is going on? Wasn't Shang Qi always good to Xiao Xi before?" Mu Yu expressed her disbelief after getting into Qin Jinhuan's car."That's for Shang Qi to ask." Qin Jinhuan glanced grimly at Bian Zijun.Bian Zijun answered, "I've already gotten through to Mr. Shang, and he said that he'll immediately a
Qin Chengxi had never actually thought of leaving the Shang family because she never thought she would have such a rigid side."Xiao Xi ah, you're too honest and have a weak nature, your brother is always worried that you'll be bullied outside, and always asked me to advise you to put on a stronger personality. You are a member of the Qin family, you should show the Qin family's vigor. Your brother said, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what happens, he will always be your strongest backing. You have to memorize these words."Her ears rang with the words her sister-in-law had spoken to her so eloquently today.Previously, she had been silently putting up with Chen Juan's mouthiness in the Shang family because of Shang Qi, and now that Shang Qi was talking to her in such a tone, what reason did she have to put up with them?Today she was going to show them that she, Qin Chengxi, wasn't as weak as they thought, and that she also had a personality!
"Isn't it just a picture? Making a big deal out of it is not something the Hoshi I know would do!""Is this just a picture in your eyes? Is it not your disloyalty to our relationship?""When have I ever been unfaithful to our relationship? Hoshi, you're breaking my heart when you say things like that, do you understand?""Your attitude breaks my heart even more!""My attitude ..." Seeing her crying more and more sad, he only had to give in, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I'll make amends to you, I'll apologize to you, okay?""It would have been your fault. Think about it another way, if the picture was of me with another man ...""No ifs!" He immediately interrupted her with a scowl."You know to be angry too.""Haven't I already admitted my mistake?""You drove Joey Zhi Yun.""No way!" Shang Qi refused Qin Chengxi without even thinking, "I need her badly now!"Qin Chengxi bit her lip, "So do you need me?""That's
Seeing that it was Chi Sihui's caller, he wanted to not answer it, but after a moment's hesitation, he answered it.In the end, the two families were family friends, and he and she had grown up together as little ones."Shangqi, where are you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Chi Sihui's petite voice came through."What is it?" He asked back, faintly."Let's have dinner together, we haven't seen each other in a long time.""Not available.""Alright, alright, don't be angry with me, I invited you to dinner today just to apologize to you.""Apologize to me? Isn't it an apology for Hoshi?""To her?" Chi Sihui's voice was through contempt, but she didn't continue, turning to say, "I'll give her an apology, but I only want to see you today. Come on, I've reserved a seat at the Fate Restaurant.""No time.""Eh!" Seemingly knowing that he was about to hang up the phone, Chi Sihui immediately exclaimed, "You're going home for d
"Uncle, Auntie."With Shangqi gone, Qin Chengxi has no one to rely on, and Chen Juan makes her apprehensive.Chen Juan didn't enter the room either, but just looked at her with a face full of compassionate concern,"Xiao Xi ah, how's your body toning up these days? Why are you getting thinner and thinner?""I've been a little sick the last few days, so I've been eating very little. Always sleepy."Afraid that she would bring up another topic that she couldn't face, Qin Chengxi made a gesture of yawning, looking really sleepy, hoping that it would make her realize that she was leaving."You can't even take care of yourself, how can I expect you to take care of Sang-ki in the future?"Qin Chengxi wanted to say, "Shangqi will take care of herself," but thought better of it and smiled dryly, "I'll get my body well as soon as possible. Don't worry, uncle.""You just can't carry on the flavor for the Shang family even after you've toned up your bod
"Eh! Shangqi, let go!" Qin Chengxi struggled sharply."Shang, Mr. Shang?"The group of people who came in originally wanted to ask Qin Chengxi to look into the break because there was an argument, but they didn't expect to run into this scene, so they were all embarrassed and subconsciously tried to turn away."If you're here, why don't you finish before you leave?"The one who spoke, Shang Qi, at this time he had let go of Qin Chengxi, but his hand was still on her shoulder, as if he was swearing a kind of sovereignty, as if he was saying, you guys can watch out, your boss is my daughter-in-law, if you dare to bully her, you are bullying me.The corners of Qin Chengxi's mouth twitched as he looked at him unnaturally, but he let him.The crowd exited her office immediately after saying what they had to say briefly and succinctly.He grinned and held her hand as he took her out to dinner.She finally smiled at the thought.Since s
Qin Chengxi answered Mu Yan's call.She knew that her sister-in-law was worried about her situation, and immediately stated that she had the support of Shang Qi as well as the Shang family's parents, and only then did Mu Yan say nothing, and advised her a few more times to take care of her health."I know, I'll go back in a few days to see you and Redeemer. I miss Redeemer." She responded with feigned relief."Isn't it easy to miss her? I'll come home from work and bring her to video you.""Okay, that's a deal."A few more words were exchanged before she hung up.When he came back to the office again, Sang-ki was already buried in papers.Looking at him, who had also lost weight, she felt both guilty and heartbroken.She's the one who dragged Sang-gi down.If it weren't for her, the papers in front of him wouldn't have accumulated like a mountain.Meetings were pushed back and forth, and some matters that needed to be handl
"Brother! Don't!"Qin Chengxi was also terrified and cried as she went up to beg Qin Jinhuan.Although she has been in her heart not ashamed of what her parents did, but in the end is her biological parents, she can not sit back and do nothing, not to mention the grandfather's corpse is not yet cold, and in any case the family can not be so farce."Ah Huan, calm down!" Mu Ye also immediately stepped forward to dissuade Qin Jinhuan.Qin Jinhuan didn't make a sound, but just looked askance at Qin Wentao with a chilly face, without the slightest look of being persuaded by them.The sound of running footsteps outside approached.Qin Chengxi, who was afraid of seeing blood, was terrified, but she knew she couldn't say anything about her big brother and could only cry and go up to her father and beg him to leave.Qin Wentao knew that he couldn't restrain his son, and was worried that he had no place to vent his anger, when Qin Chengxi crashed into
