“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
An City was still as cold as ever even though there were no snow storms like in the Northland. The cold winds brushed through people’s necks, able to make even a strong tall man shiver.But no matter how cold it was, it still wasn’t able to stop people from going to the graves as it was the winter solstice. According to An City’s traditions, families will gather and visit the graves on three separate days; the Qingming Festival, the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the Winter Solstice.Inside Tai Cemetery at Cheng Xi, Mu Yu, clad in duffle-coat, was there with Jiang Wenwen. They had a bouquet of fresh flowers each on their hands as they walked up a newly placed tomb.It was the tomb of Yan Xiaobing and his mother. Their corpses were still stuck together after they burned themselves and weren’t able to be taken apart. The cremation centre had no choice but to cremate their remains together. There were two new tombstones at the side; they were of Yan X
Wasn’t that Huan’s personal car? Shouldn’t he be in the office right now? Why was his car here?Mu Yu was suspicious.Did he lie to her? Did he already pay respect to his mother’s grave?These thoughts immediately made her feel disheartened.Wouldn’t it mean that he did not recognize her as his wife since he did not let her come sweep his mother’s grave?After days went by he was still being cold to her because of Grandpa’s intervention. He didn’t even bring her along to his mother’s grave so did that mean he gave up on their relationship?How could he do this?She was innocent!Remembering how unaffectionate he was, she felt her nose sore and her throat choking. And she felt as if her heart was suffocated.No no no! I haven’t seen him in the graveyard yet, haven’t I? Maybe Huang Bo temporarily drove his car so Huang Bo could visit his relative’s grave? I will not jum
