“What happened?” questioned Qin Jinhuan.
Chao Chenyu replied, “I nearly lost control of the situation at the property owners’ meeting today. Fortunately, Miss Yin stepped in and helped me just in time. Boss, I think Miss Yin has almost recovered, and the company is currently short of hands, so can’t you consider letting her come back to work?”
Qin Jinhuan hesitated for a moment, but he didn’t agree to this suggestion. Nonetheless, the company really needed talents like Yin Anran right now. “We’ll talk about this later.”
“But—”
“The matter has been decided. I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else.”
“Wait a minute! Please listen to me, Boss!” Chao Chenyu sounded somewhat anxious. “It was Miss Yin who chaired the property owners’ meeting this time. Now, the property owners that she has persuaded trust no one else but her. If you don’t let her come back to take charge of the work, I’m afraid we’ll be unable to contro
“What is it?” Qin Jinhuan raised his eyes with great interest.“As it turns out, Yi Yunzhe never left An City at all. His so-called going abroad to seek medical treatment back then was just a guise.” Weng Yun showed him a stack of documents. “In reality, he has been staying at a farmer’s home on the outskirts of West City to recuperate.”Qin Jinhuan took the documents and leafed through them with a sneer. “He’s quite patient.”“Half a year ago, Xiang Long Industry had a huge capital inflow. We haven’t found out the source of this capital for now, but Xiang Long Industry’s performance had risen sharply with astonishing momentum of development ever since it received the capital. I don’t think Drake Lu, who is mediocre and overcautious, could’ve pulled this off. I suspect that the capital belongs to Yi Yunzhe; Drake Lu secretly let him take the helm of the company after he invested the capital in Xiang Long Industry. While we were off our g
“Who’s looking for me?” Rong Jian asked as he got up.“An old lady. She specifically mentioned you by name.”“An old lady’s looking for me?!” Rong Jian had a look of doubt on his face. He twisted his head around to tell Liu Xiaofan that he was going over to take a look before he quickly exited the forensic lab.Once Rong Jian was gone, Liu Xiaofan and Fan Lifeng immediately became excited again. They grinned at Feng Rubing in unison and said, “We were just joking with you earlier, Mrs. Rong. Don’t take it to heart.” Feng Rubing had been initially looking in the direction that Rong Jian had left, and her forehead was screwed up in a tight frown. Upon hearing Liu Xiaofan and Fan Lifeng say that, she immediately withdrew her gaze. There was no hint of anger on her face, but her expression was very solemn. “Officer Liu, Officer Fan, there is nothing wrong with a little ribbing between coworkers, but please do not use ‘Mrs. Rong
When Mu Yu stepped into Rong Jian’s office, he was the only one there. She couldn’t stop herself from being surprised as she asked, “Has your mother left already?”“My mother?” Rong Jian was even more surprised than she was. “My mother came by earlier?”“Didn’t she?”“I don’t think so. She didn’t call me!”“The old woman who wanted to see you earlier wasn’t your mother?”Rong Jian was torn between laughing and crying. “Who told you that she was my mother?”Mu Yu was taken aback. “She’s not?! Then who—”“It was Qian Fenggen’s older sister, Qian Fengying.”“What?” That immediately piqued Mu Yu’s interest, and she instantly dropped the topic about his mother. “Why was Qian Fengying looking for you? Is it because she has a lead?”“Yes! She said that Qian Xiaoyu’s birth father is from Huacheng! Qian Fenggen adopted Qian Xiaoyu from Huacheng!”“Huacheng?
Jinhuan?Is that Yin Anran?All of a sudden, the sound of ringing bells thundered in Mu Yu’s ears. Didn’t he claim to be tending to Xinyue Estates’ matters? Why is he with Yin Anran?Given the noiselessness in the call, it was apparent that he wasn’t in public. Regardless, she could hear Yin Anran’s coy words in the background. What if…Immediately, her face turned pale as she subconsciously dropped her phone onto the bed.No, no, no… No way!There’s no way he’d do that! He’d never do this to me!This must be a misunderstanding! I’m sure of it!Stop overthinking… Calm down!Despite her countless self-comforting thoughts, her brain couldn’t stop feeding into her anxiety.He told me himself that he had fired Yin Anran and assured that he’d cut all ties with her. Why is he with her right now? Not only that, he’s even lying to me just to
“H-Huan…” When she heard noises around her, Qin Chengxi raised her head and saw her brother. Then, she hastily hid the hand that was placed on her ear.Qin Jinhuan caught sight of the cell phone she was trying to hide and asked, “Did you fight with Shang Qi?” “N-No, we’re fine,” Qin Chengxi replied with a panicked expression.“Then why are you crying?”“I-I’m not.” Realizing there were tears at the corner of her eyes, she quickly wiped them off with her sleeve before responding to Qin Jinhuan with a forced smile.“We saw you crying, though!” Mu Yu, who speedily followed after, came over and expressed her concern. “What happened? Come, don’t hold it in all by yourself.”“I-I…” After hesitating for a while, Qin Chengxi blurted as her eyes glistened, “I’m just worried about Grandpa.”“Really?” Mu Yu asked in disbelief.In response, Qin Chengxi awkwardly nodded her head. As sh
An anxious Mu Yu quickly gave Rong Jian a call to inquire about it.“So far, we haven’t gotten anything about Qian Xiaoyu’s biological parents, but we did find out where Qian Fenggen’s old home is, so we’re heading there to see if there are any clues about Qian Xiaoyu,” answered Rong Jian.“I see, and here I thought something big happened seeing how both you and Madam Feng rushed over there.” After finishing her sentence, Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.With an awkward guffaw, Rong Jian replied, “I’m rather slow when it comes to processing problems, so I could use some help. Not only that, Fan and the others already have their plates full. Since the forensic department had nothing much to do, I requested Director Gu to let Rubing come with me.”Even though Mu Yu had seen through his intentions, she did not expose him. Instead, she silently laughed at him before she continued to ask, “Are you thinking that Qian Fenggen fostere
“Huh?!” Mu Yu was surprised yet delighted. Instantly, questions tumbled out of her mouth. “Who exactly is this fake Qian Dacheng? Is he not from Huacheng? Did he ever come in contact with Sun Meilan and Zhao Yongli while he was there? Did he assume a different name to hide from the killer? What was his relationship with Qian Xiaoyu? Why did she help him despite the heavy consequences?”She walked as she spoke on the phone. Along the way, she kept running into other coworkers who greeted her, so she had to divide her attention and smile back at them. Eventually, Mu Yu jogged over to the patch of trees nearby so that she wouldn’t get distracted during her phone call with Rong Jian. She crouched under an osmanthus tree and pressed her phone close to her ear, listening carefully to what he had to say.“Qian Dacheng’s real name is Qian Daqing, and he’s a member of the Qian Hamlet in Xichang Province’s Dutou Town. In truth, he was already thirty-eight, whi
“Calm down! It’s me. It’s me.”The ‘ghostly face’ disappeared all of a sudden. Then, Mu Yu found herself in the arms of a familiar man amid the darkness. Upon recognizing Qin Jinhuan’s voice, she clutched her chest, heaved a long sigh of relief, and shook him off angrily. “Don’t you know you can literally scare people to death?”Qin Jinhuan whispered in her ear with an apologetic smile and said, “I was joking with you, Darling. I thought forensic doctors have nerves of steel.”“We forensic doctors have nerves of steel only when it comes to dead bodies. That doesn’t mean we aren’t scared of people who pretend to be dead and disguise themselves as ghosts…” Mu Yu replied, only to stop mid-sentence when she suddenly realized that it was inauspicious to say the words ‘people who pretend to be dead.’ She immediately changed the subject by asking, “How did you know I’m here?”Qin Jinhuan led her out as he explained, “I was looking
"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
