“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
“Who do you think it is then?” Immediately, Wen Zeyu understood what he was implying.Qin Jinhuan did not answer the question. Instead, he pointed at Dong Wanqing’s name on the paper and asked, “Why are you so certain that it’s hers?”Wen Zeyu pulled out the paper under the first page and showed it to Qin Jinhuan. “I’ve checked her call history. She had a call with the female worker, Liu Xiaoxiang, thereafter Liu Xiaoxiang organized the strike to ask for a pay raise. I have confirmed with Liu Xiaoxiang and she admitted that she was only emboldened to ask for multiple pay raises after the call with Dong Wanqing because Dong Wanqing gave her a detailed explanation about the employer’s stake in between employees’ pay raise and delayed delivery.”“Are you sure Dong Wanqing was the one who called?”“I recorded Dong Wanqing’s voice and played it to Liu Xiaoxiang, and she said it sounded like her.”“Sounded like?”
While the weather outside was biting cold, it was cosy and warm indoor. The television was broadcasting some random series, and soft music could be heard playing from the radio.Meanwhile, Mu Yu was lying on the bed chatting with Jiang Wenwen over the phone using headphones, her eyes closed.“Young Master Qin attended culinary lessons for your sake just because of that piece of paper?” Green with envy, Jiang Wenwen could hardly believe what she had heard on the other end of the line. “He’s such a busy man, and yet he is so attentive to you. I’m really touched!”“There’s nothing to be touched about. The food was not that tasty anyway, and its appearance was unattractive. I barely took a few bites,” Mu Yu criticized casually. Nevertheless, the reflection of her beaming face could be seen from the phone screen.“Hey, how could you say that? What an ungrateful woman.” Unaware of Mu Yu’s true expression, Jiang Wenwen disgustedly took up
She was extremely ecstatic with the sense of touch on her fingertips. Consciously, she clasped Qin Jinhuan’s hand and closed her eyes. Her blushing face appeared even more alluring and attractive. Come, Jinhuan! Come to me! Suppressing her exhilaration, she screamed in silence.Right then, a cylinder-shaped cold object was placed under her arms. Shuddering in shock, she instantly opened her eyes with surprise written all over her face.“Jinhuan? You...”“I’m taking your temperature. I have to send you to the hospital if you’re still feverish,” Qin Jinhuan said as he placed her hand under the blanket. Then, he tucked the blanket under her so that she was covered completely.What?! H-He actually covered me with a blanket?!Is the incense not strong enough? Is my outfit not seductive enough? Or was my performance unsatisfactory?No way! There shouldn’t be anything wrong from my side! I’ve put in
All that was written on the piece of paper were a few sentences written in green ink. ‘You might as well not come home, Qin Jinhuan! You’re not the only one who knows how to go out and have fun!’What? Green ink? Going out and having fun? Is she trying to cheat on me? Sh*t! A couple of seconds later, Qin Jinhuan tore the provocative note into pieces before giving Mu Yu a call. “Hello, the number that you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please…” Furious, he ended the call and dialed Cheng Xiang’s number instead.“What? Did the young mistress go out? When did she leave the house?” Cheng Xiang’s astonishment only made Qin Jinhuan more furious than ever. “You must’ve been taking a good nap, huh?” he hissed.“I’m sorry, boss. I…”“You b*stard!” Qin Jinhuan angrily ended the call before stepping out of the room. After a moment of contemplation, he headed toward Qin Chengxi’s room and knocked on her door. He had to remain silent as his grandfat
“Oh my God! Who is that?” Mu Yu cried in surprise as she quickly shoved Qin Jinhuan away.“No one. No one at all. You guys can go on.” The mumbles of Mu Yu’s parents sounded in the dark before the sound of their rushed footsteps followed as they quickly shifted away. They shut the bedroom door behind them.“Told you they’d go to bed.” Qin Jinhuan’s smug voice emerged in the dark.“Don’t you have better things to do?” Mu Yu pushed him away angrily.“Alright. Stop being mad at me. I know I brought supper home a little too late tonight, but I really had matters to handle. Please forgive me, my beloved wife…” he pleaded.“You had matters to handle? What sort of matters involve following a woman into a room in the middle of the night when it’s just the two of you in there?” Mu Yu said with a scoff.“Anran was ill, so I had to go over and take a look…” he explained.“Woah, I didn’t know you, the alm
"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
