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
Rong Jian and Feng Rubing stayed in Huacheng for three days before returning to An City with plenty of clues about Qian Daqing.Qian Daqing hadn’t graduated junior high when he left the Qian Hamlet to work in Huacheng. However, he was lazy at work and always stood up to his bosses, so he was fired from multiple jobs in a row. In a fit of pique, he beat up one of his bosses and trashed the latter’s shop. However, Huacheng was unlike the Qian Hamlet, so he was locked up soon afterward. To get him out of jail, his parents begged almost all of their relatives and friends on their knees and even sold their farmlands to scrape up enough money to compensate the wounded for his loss.After suffering enough in jail, Qian Daqing learned his lesson upon his release. He did everything possible to cozy up to several gangsters whom he considered quite capable. He ended up joining them, but he was smart enough to not get involved in drug dealing, murder, and forced
Mu Yu took a few deep breaths in disbelief while trying hard to calm herself down. After barely pulling herself together, she carefully reread the text message from beginning to end without missing a word. Still, she couldn’t believe what was said in the text message. As her hands trembled, she dialed the phone number from which the text message was sent, only to hear a voice saying that the number she had dialed was unavailable.She massaged her aching temples hard, clutched her cell phone, and read the text message carefully once again. The more she read it, the more it struck a chill into her heart, and the angrier she became. If everything in this text message is true, how am I going to trust Huan in the future? Wait, calm down! I haven’t figured out the intentions of the person who sent this text message, so I mustn’t get all in a fluster. Perhaps this is just someone’s malicious attempt to drive a wedge between us. I have to find out the truth about this! B
Mu Yu was already in the hospital when she regained consciousness.“How do you feel now, Yu?”She opened her eyes and heard Qin Jinhuan’s voice, which was full of anxiety, before she was fully awake. At the same time, her hand was being held tightly; she knew without thinking that the hand that grabbed hers must be his. As her memory froze at the instant her body fell headlong, she was instantly seized with panic. She subconsciously grabbed his hand in return while shouting his name.“I’m here! I’m here! It’s all right, so don’t be afraid,” Qin Jinhuan comforted her as he held her in his arms.“She’s come round at last.”Upon hearing Rong Jian’s voice, Mu Yu immediately pushed Qin Jinhuan aside, looked at Rong Jian, and asked, “Chief Rong? Are you all right?”“I’m fine,” Rong Jian replied with a smile after heaving a long sigh.“How’s the person called Brother Peng then?” Before Mu Yu p
After leaving Fraternity Hospital, Mu Yu hailed a taxi and headed straight to Qing Tian Building. When she was a distance away from the hospital, she sent Qin Jinhuan a text message to avoid giving Bian Zijun any trouble. She told him she was suddenly craving some crackers, so she wanted to go shopping at the supermarket—after all, she knew that he rarely checked his phone. Following that, she searched up Yin Anran’s phone number and called her, making her identity clear as soon as the call was picked up. “Do you need anything?” the woman asked warily. On the other end of the line, Yin Anran was audibly surprised to receive a call from Mu Yu. “Yeah, I have something to discuss. Let’s meet at Destiny Cafe in 15 minutes.” Mu Yu willed herself to keep calm as she spoke. There was a brief hesitation before Yin Anran asked, “Can we talk on the phone? I’m a little busy, so I might not have time to meet.” Mu Yu di
"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
