A few days ago, Qin Jinhuan’s father, Qin Wentao, went to visit his grandfather behind Qin Jinhuan’s back. Qin Wentao took advantage of the grandfather’s delirium and forced the grandfather to change his will. When Qin Jinhuan received the news, he rushed home and saw that his poor grandfather was forced onto the table. He was so furious that he wanted to beat his inhumane father up. He would have done so if Qin Wentao hadn’t fled the scene.
“Boss, the Old Master is clear-headed now. Moreover, he had brought Master Xi with him, so he wouldn’t cross the line,” Huang Bo quickly followed after Qin Jinhuan and said softly. “They have come to pay their respects to the Mistress.”
Master Xi, or Qin Chengxi, was Qin Jinhuan’s half-brother. Although he was already twenty-year-old, he looked like a weak young girl of sixteen to seventeen-year-old because he was constantly falling sick from a young age. He couldn't handle external stimuli well. Everybody knew Qin Wentao loved this younger son very much. Moreover, Qin Xiaozhi insisted Qin Wentao on visiting the grave of Qin Jinhuan’s mother, Lin Sijun, on the anniversaries of her death every year. Because of this, Huang Bo must have guessed right.
However, Qin Jinhuan chuckled coldly. “He didn’t come alone! Besides, my mother's death anniversary is over.”
His mother was buried at the Tai Cemetery behind the Cheng Xi Forest. The anniversary of her death was two days ago. He went through the forest early that morning. It was a shortcut to Tai Cemetery where he visited his mother’s grave. As a result, he happened to find the victim’s body.
Huang Bo worried that what he said was wrong, and started to worry about the Old Master. So, he stepped on the accelerator and drove faster.
“Huan, you’re back?” Qin Jinhuan entered the house and saw Qin Wentao smiling at him.
As usual, Qin Jinhuan ignored him. He quickly walked toward his grandfather. Then, he pushed Dong Yueyun, who was sitting close to his grandfather, away.
“Ouch!” Dong Yueyun lost her balance and almost fell down.
Qin Wentao caught her just in time and scolded, “What are you doing?”
Qin Jinhuan pointed at the door and said coldly, “All of you, get out of here!”
“Get out of here? Qin Jinhuan, how dare you talk to me like that? Don’t forget that I am your father!”
“Wentao!” Dong Yueyun stopped Qin Wentao from scolding him. Then, she used her usual gentle voice and explained the situation to Qin Jinhuan, “Huan, you’ve misunderstood your father. Since he was away on a business trip two days ago, he is now here to visit your mother’s grave.”
“Yes, that’s true. We are going to visit auntie’s grave.” Dong Wanqing, who had just come out from the bathroom, quickly ran over and confirmed her aunt’s words.
“Is it?” Qin Jinhuan glanced at her, who was all dolled up, and sneered. “I thought you just returned from a wedding ceremony.”
Only then did Dong Wanqing realize that she was dressed inappropriately, so she quickly looked at her aunt for help.
Dong Yueyun’s face turned sour at once. She wanted her niece to visit Lin Sijun’s grave in order to please Qin Jinhuan, but she didn’t expect her plan to backfire.
“Wanqing is young and she still doesn't know the ways of the world,” Qin Wentao said in defense.
Qin Jinhuan chuckled lightly and asked, “It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t know the ways of the world as long as she is young and knows how to please men, right?”
Seeing that Qin Jinhuan was taunting Dong Yueyun and himself, Qin Wentao was furious. “Qin Jinhuan, mind your words!”
“My mother doesn’t want to see either one of you. Please don’t disturb her anymore,” Qin Jinhuan replied rudely and interrupted his father.
“Huan, I was the one who asked Wentao to take them there.”
“Grandfather!” Qin Jinhuan was very displeased when he heard his grandfather, who had been quiet all along, speak out.
Qin Xiaozhi sighed. “Huan, my days in this world are numbered. You are the one I worry about most. I really hope to see you start your own family and have kids while I’m still alive.”
“As for this matter, I have my own priorities.”
“Your brother is already twenty years old. There are some things that you have to let go. If your mother’s soul is in heaven, she would want you and your father to be on good terms. Wanqing is an innocent and good girl. Moreover, she loves you very much. Among the girls that you’ve dated, I like her the most. It would be better if the both of you can be together.”
“Grandpa!”
He didn’t expect his grandfather to use this method to resolve the grievances between him and Qin Wentao.
Didn’t Grandfather know how much he hated Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun? Or was Grandfather sick and confused, or bewitched by them?
Qin Jinhuan’s handsome face twisted in anger as he said with hatred, “Even when all the women in this world are dead, I will never marry a woman from the Dong Family!”
Qin Xiaozhi didn’t expect his grandson to so firmly stand his ground. He said with a serious tone, “As long as I’m still breathing, you will never bring those loose women into the family!”
“Daddy, talk slowly if you have something to say. Don’t be angry. The doctor has warned repeatedly that you cannot be too emotional. You must not be angry.” Dong Yueyun held Qin Xiaozhi and gently patted his back.
Qin Jinhuan ignored her words and spelled his word clearly, “I will marry whomever I please!”
“Qin Jinhuan!” Looking at his grandson who didn’t show a hint of compromising, Qin Xiaozhi furiously pushed Dong Yueyun away. “Go help Wanqing pack. Let her move in here.”
“What?” Dong Yueyun was startled. Yet, she understood the meaning of this and nodded happily.
“Go then.” Qin Xiaozhi waved his hand and sat down slowly.
Qin Wentao was also very happy. Holding his son, he and his wife—who had a big smile on her face—left hurriedly with his niece.
Qin Xiaozhi watched them walk out of the door, then looked at his grandson who was staring at them angrily. Qin Xiaozhi softened his stance and advised him, “Huan, Grandpa is doing what’s best for you. If you and Wanqing get together, then you and your father can finally let go of your grudges and build the Qing Tian Group's glory once again together. This is my wish.”
“Him? He is no good at accomplishing things. All he does is destroy!” Qin Jinhuan looked on in disdain.
“But you are father and son!”
“I don’t recognize him as my father.”
“Huan!” Qin Xiaozhi paused and continued. “You must conform to my arrangements with Wanqing. I must…”
“I will marry whomever I please! It is nobody else’s business!”
“It is nobody else’s business?” Qin Xiaozhi's eyes flashed with anger and he said. “Don’t forget that I still own 80% of Qing Tian Group’s shares. I have not made my will yet. Whoever goes against my will would only end up with nothing.”
“Whatever,” Qin Jinhuan said. He turned around without a damn.
“Qin Jinhuan, stop it! Stay there!”
Qin Jinhuan ignored his grandfather’s angry shouts and headed out with his head held high.
Would he even compromise so easily?
This was a joke!
“Boss, something is wrong.” As soon as he walked through the door, his bodyguard, Bian Zijun, rushed toward him.
Meanwhile, Mu Yu was trying to wash Qin Jinhuan’s clothes with shower gel. This was what Jiang Wenwen taught her. She had mentioned that Qin Jinhuan’s clothes were expensive and branded. Therefore, ordinary laundry detergent wouldn’t do.
“Mu Yu, come out!”
Suddenly, her mother roared from the living room, giving Mu Yu the fright of her life.
Didn’t she already explain clearly what was going on between her and Qin Jinhuan? What was it now?
“Stupid girl, how dare you pretend to be deaf? Do you want me to get you myself?”
Although she was unsure of what was going on, she knew with certainty that something big must have happened. She understood her mother very well. Mu Yu quickly put down the clothes and walked fearfully to her mother.
“What is this?” Hu Meiling poked Mu Yu’s head with a phone and flashed it at her.
As soon as she saw the contents on the screen, Mu Yu felt a buzz go through her head and she almost fainted.
Hu Meiling grabbed Mu Yu’s arm and scolded, “Stop pretending and tell me honestly. Don’t you dare tell another lie, otherwise I will immediately drown you in the toilet!” “Don’t do that. You’re scaring your daughter. Talk nicely.” Mu Ziyao ‘rescued’ his daughter from his wife’s grip. Then, he pointed at the screen of the phone and asked, “Yu, are the contents here true?”Aware that she could no longer hide, Mu Yu nodded and quickly explained, “We did stay in the hotel, but our relationship is not as complicated as what the news is suggesting. Nothing happened between us. It’s true!”“You are both single and stayed in the same room for so long. You were even drunk. When you came out of the hotel, your clothes had even been changed. Nothing happened, you said? Unless you prove to me that Young Master Qin isn’t a real man, I will never believe that nothing happened.” Hu Meiling looked at her as if she could already see through Mu Yu’s façade.
“Yu, we’re here!”Even before she reached the entrance of her neighborhood, Mu Yu could already hear her parents’ shouts. She saw them standing in front of a taxi and rode her scooter toward them, asking anxiously in a loud voice, “Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?”“Get into the car first.”Mu Ziyao helped Mu Yu park her scooter while Hu Meiling helped Mu Yu to remove her helmet. They moved quickly and stuffed Mu Yu into the car at a speed of lightning. “What the hell is going on?” Mu Yu was shocked by her parents’ nervousness. Hu Meiling didn’t respond to her daughter’s words. Instead, she told the driver, “Sir, to the airport.”“Why are we going to the airport?”Mu Ziyao said softly, “Yu, we have to leave An City immediately.” Mu Yu was shocked and nervous. “Why are we leaving An City? What is going on?”Hu Meiling looked forward and lowered her voice. “This is what the O
“What-What debt?” Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao looked at their daughter in fear. Mu Yu mumbled as she explained, “I scratched his car and owed him 100,000 for repair.”“100,000, is it?” Mu Ziyao heaved a long sigh and said with a smile. “Young Master Qin, give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer the money to you immediately.”“I don’t need the money, may it be 100,000 or it’s 20,000,000.” Qin Jinhuan paused and looked at Hu Meiling and Mu Ziyao, who had changed the looks on their faces. Then, he pointed at Mu Yu and continued, “I need only her.”Hu Meiling’ eyes instantly filled with fear and she quickly took an envelope from her bag and handed it to him. She begged, “Please take mercy on her and let my daughter go. I’ll pay you back with this 20,000,000.”“20,000,000 dollars?” Mu Yu’s eyes bulged. “Mom, where did you get that money from?”Mu Ziyao was ashamed. He said, “Aren’t we leaving An City? This
Fearing that Qin Xiaozhi’s men would lay their hands on her, Mu Yu quickly got to her feet. She shouted, “Don’t come over!” as she quietly whipped out her phone to call Qin Jinhuan for help. However, as soon as she took her phone out, Dong Wanqing slapped her hand and the phone fell onto the ground. At the same time, Dong Wanqing slapped her face and her face burned with pain. She had never been through this kind of misery before, had she? She felt so angry that she instinctively raised her hand to fight back, but was too slow. Qi Hao and Qi Han—Qi Xiaozhi’s twin bodyguards—caught her hands, but she raised her leg and tried to kick Dong Wanqing’s stomach. If you don’t offend me, I won’t offend you. But if you offend me, I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine. She always remembered what Brother Yihan had taught her. However, things didn’t go her way. Once she raised her leg, the twins saw thr
“Are you saying that I can’t?” Qin Jinhuan gave her an evil smirk and leaned toward her. “Do you want to try?” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Mu Yu blushed and exclaimed. “I was talking about the disagreeable clauses here! Look at this clause!” She pointed at the agreement and continued, “I don’t have any opinion against being intimate in public, but why do we have to sleep on the same bed at night? Nobody will see where we’re sleeping at night! Don’t tell me you still need your grandpa to tuck you in at night?” He could hear the teasing in her voice. Qin Jinhuan wasn’t angry. Instead, he asked slowly, “Do you know why Grandpa changed his mind and let you stay?” “Because you wanted to leave with me. He couldn’t bear to see you leave, so he let me stay.” “No.” “No? Then why did he?”“He let you stay in order to verify if we have a real relationship, other than t
How despicable! How dare he take advantage of me again?! Mu Yu was embarrassed and annoyed. She tried to break free of him but couldn’t. So, she bit his lips and stared into his big eyes with anger. The pain made Qin Jinhuan knot his eyebrows. However, he never left her lips. Looking into her eyes, he moved her body slightly and darted his eyes around. Through his hint, Mu Yu finally caught a glimpse of Dong Wanqing and understood what his intentions were. Despite that, she still wasn’t going to forgive the fact that he took advantage of her. So, she didn’t follow through with the performance and pushed him away instead. She pretended to be shocked to learn that Dong Wanqing was standing at the door. Then, she ‘shyly’ buried her head in his chest and pouted. “Hey, you are so annoying. The door isn’t even closed.” At the same time, she put her hand on his waist, gave him a hard pinch, and felt his body tremble sligh
As they entered the room, Mu Yu quickly broke free from Qin Jinhuan as he was locking the door. She jumped two meters away from him and smiled at him, saying, “There are no outsiders here, we don’t have to act anymore.” Qin Jinhuan looked at her with a sweeping glance of dissatisfaction. As he undressed himself, he said softly, “Go and take a bath.” “Oh, suit yourself.” Mu Yu rubbed her hungry tummy and remembered that there were some snacks in her bag. She quickly went to the bedside to get her bag. “I told you to go and take a shower.” “Me?” She raised her head and saw him staring at her. She instantly had a bad feeling in her gut and quickly searched for an excuse. “I’m a night owl. I’m not used to bathing so early. You take your bath first.” “Either you go and bath yourself, or I’ll carry you in and we can bath together.” Mu Yu asked weakly, “Can’t you bath first?”
In the room, Mu Yu had finished applying the ointment, but the pain on her thigh had not eased one bit. This made her feel so upset and angry that she couldn’t calm down. There were a few times when she wanted to take the scalpel out and slash a few cuts on Qin Jinhuan’s leg in order to reduce her anger. However, she was still rational and knew very well the consequences of doing so. In order to distract herself, she got off from the bed reluctantly. She limped to the sofa and sat down. Her leg hurt a lot. She wanted to take the remote control to switch on the television, but worried that Qin Xiaozhi might see through their facade upon hearing the sound of the television. Then, she wanted to play with her phone but once again learned that her phone was left in her bag by the bed. She had no choice but to curl up on the sofa, close her eyes, and took a nap. She was very hungry. She had not even h
