As Qin Chengxi took out his phone, the sparkle in his eyes turned dim. He pursed his lips and picked up the call.
“Xi? How did it go? We saw Huan coming out.” Dong Yueyun’s anxious voice could be heard over the phone.
“Brother has agreed to forgive you all.”
“Really? That's great! Son, you are amazing!”
“Haha, I knew it! Sending our son to do the job is effective after all! At the end of the day, Huan isn't a cold-hearted person!” Qin Wentao’s excited voice and laughter could also be heard over the phone.
“It's all thanks to me who came up with this great idea!”
“Right, right of course. Most importantly, our son has put on a good show. Ask him what he feels like eating, I will bring him out for a fancy meal tonight!”
Dong Yueyun directed her excitement toward the phone and asked, “Alright. My good son, what do you feel like eating tonight? Mommy will bring you out for a nice meal.”
At six o’clock in the evening, Qin Jinhuan brought Mu Yu to attend the banquet hosted by Qin Xiaozhi at Gloria Hotel. The both of them had dressed up for the occasion. Qin Jinhuan had said that it was merely a small-scale appreciation dinner. Thus, Mu Yu was not surprised to see the limited numbers of guests. “Wow! Sister-in-law, you look gorgeous today! Gosh, you look like an angel that came down from heaven!” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Mu Yu felt embarrassed and gestured for him to shut up as she saw that everyone’s glance toward her due to Wen Zeyu’s exaggerated voice. “I am just telling the truth!” Wen Zeyu shrugged his shoulders while looking on innocently. He then winked at Qin Jinhuan and asked, “Huan, is there anything wrong with what I just said?”“There's nothing wrong with that but there's something wrong with you. Ying, deal with him.” “My little Ying!” Wen Zeyu saw Rong Ying a
“Yu? Yu! What’s wrong?”The person who came was Qin Jinhuan. He quickly held Mu Yu, who was weak, in his arms. He did not expect this to happen to Mu Yu right after leaving her alone for just a short while.“Terrible, I feel terrible… Huan, help me please…” Mu Yu said in agony while she squirmed in his embrace.Bian Zijun, who came with Qin Jinhuan, was stunned. “Master, this… The mistress was… Who would be so bold to plot against the young mistress with a dirty tactic like this?!”“Head to the sixth floor!” As he ordered Bian Zijun, Qin Jinhuan was already carrying Mu Yu and started striding onward with a stern expression.The first six floors of Gloria Hotel were mostly restaurants and KTV studios for entertainment while the floors above were guest rooms.“Master, your personal room is on the eighth floor.” Bian Zijun understood his intentions and reminded him.“Sixth floor. An
Right now in room 6011, it was quiet with no one else other than Qin Xiaozhi and the twin brothers from the Qin Family. Qin Xiaozhi was leaning against the sofa resting with his eyes closed while the twins stood guard on the other side. The loud noise of the door crashing down sent the twins into a defensive mode as they stood guard in front of Qin Xiaozhi to protect him. Both of them only relaxed when they saw that the man who came in was Qin Jinhuan. They then greeted him respectfully.“You guys should leave first.” Qin Xiaozhi slowly opened his eyes.“Yes, Old Master.”The twins immediately complied and left, closing the door behind them.Qin Xiaozhi straightened his back, then he beckoned for him and said, “Come over, and sit down. First, finish up this bowl of bird’s nest porridge. Then, we can have a talk.”“Why would you use your dirty tactics to try to subdue Yu again and again?” Qin Jinhuan wasn’
“Twenty years ago, your grandmother and I were friends with Yu's family. She was even named by your grandmother.”“How was that possible?” Remembering what Mu Yu said she went through, Qin Jinhuan was in disbelief. “She was still staying deep in the mountains twenty years back!”“The mountain was called the Snake Spirit Mountain as there were many snakes in that area. Rumor has it that a huge python cultivated itself into becoming immortal, which explains the name.” Qin Xiaozhi chuckled and then sighed. “There was a village at the side of the mountain known as the Mu village where Yu and her family had stayed. Twenty years ago, when your grandmother and I went there to travel, your grandmother’s life was at risk due to a poisonous snake bite. Fortunately, she was saved by Yu’s grandfather. They even welcomed us warmly. Slowly, we became best friends with their family. The environment there was nice and your grandmother really loved it there. We’d visit them
“Go! Arrange someone to get him now!” Qin Xiaozhi ordered with a steely expression.“Okay!” Qi Hao rushed to reply.“Hmph!” Qin Xiaozhi then left in anger.Qi Hao motioned for Qi Han to follow the old master while he stayed and arranged some people to look for Qin Jinhuan.“Since the old master has already accepted the mistress, why would he still help Dong Wanqing pull dirty tricks on the young master? What was the old master thinking?” After Qi Hao finished his calls, Bian Zijun pulled him to question him. In fact, he had quite a good relationship with the Qi brothers in private, however, due to the relationship between both of their superiors, they never dared to publicly show their friendliness. Nevertheless, both sides spent a great deal of effort trying to smoothen the relationship between both of their superiors.Previously, because of the ‘collaboration’ between the Qi brothers and Qin Wentao, Bia
“Dong Wanqing! You despicable rat!”Snapped, Mu Yu yelled as she shoved Dong Wanqing, who was unprepared, and Dong Wanqing fell to the ground in a gorgeous fashion.“Ouch!”Flap!“You with the surname Mu, what are you doing?!”Dong Wanqing’s scream, the sound of her dress ripping apart and the sound of Dong Yueyun yelling broke out together.“Dong Wanqing, I will never forgive you!”“Hey you! Stand right there! What are you going batshit crazy for?!” Dong Yueyun moved quickly to shield her niece. She glared at Mu Yu, who was charging toward them, while gesturing with her hand behind her back for Dong Wanqing to get up as quickly as possible.“Move over! Move over—” Mu Yu screamed with bloodshot eyes.It was the first time Dong Wanqing saw Mu Yu in such a ferocious and tough state. Guilt-ridden at first, she instantly freaked out. She hardly got up and tucked her head,
“Are you okay young lady?” The kind hearted neighbor saw there was something wrong with Mu Yu and immediately came forward to support her.“I’m, I’m fine.” Mu Yu tried to calm herself down, “May I borrow your phone to make a call?”“Of course of course, wait for a moment.”After a moment the neighbor took out their landline phone and brought it to Mu Yu.Mu Yu took the phone and silently prayed. She called her father’s phone and anxiously waited.After the dialing tone rang for a moment, the call connected. She was almost in tears when she heard her father’s voice. “Dad where are you? Are you okay?”“Yu?” Mu Ziyao was obviously alarmed, “Did you change your phone number?”“No, I’m using someone else’s phone to make a call. Where are you now? Are you and mom okay?”“We’re doing fine. Are you?” Mu Ziyao was observant as he could hear there was something wrong with his daughter’s voi
“Huan? You, what are you doing here?”Mu Yu never thought that the person she was longing for but was too shy to meet would be standing in front of her door.Qin Jinhuan stood there silently without answering. He only glanced at her.She felt anxious seeing him act like this without any reason. She was stunned.Wen Zeyu suddenly popped up behind Qin Jinhuan and said in a lighthearted manner, “He’s here because he wanted to have lunch with you, Mu Yu.”“Ze Yu? You’re here too?” Wen Zeyu’s presence made Mu Yu calmed down a bit.“Yep. I will be treating everyone to lunch today so of course I would be here. I hope you would do me a favor and have lunch with us.”Mu Yu did not answer straight away. She laughed sheepishly as she looked at Qin Jinhuan. His aloofness made her feel uncomfortable.“Why don’t we go now, Huan?” Wen Zeyu nudged Qin Jinhuan who had yet to utter a word. He final
