2158 Words
"Hey!"
"Be careful!"
Qin Jinhuan held Mu Yu and turned around just in time, blocking the stack of things behind him. When he turned back around, Bian Zijun had already picked the things up from the ground and handed them to Qin Jinhuan while he lowered his eyes.
Seeing that it was a stack of photos, Mu Yu looked at them curiously. When she realized what the photos were clearly about, her expression instantly changed.
It turned out they were photos of her eating with Xin Yihan and Yi Yunzhe in the private room!
In every single photo, she was smiling brightly and sitting very closely with them. It looked like they were very intimate.
"W-Why are there such photos? "Except for that one time Yi Yunzhe helped her up when Qin Jinhuan appeared, she had always kept her distance with them while sitting at the same table!
"With the facts and proofs, do you still have the cheek to argue?" Qin Xiaozhi sneered.
"I'm not arguing. By the way, there must be a problem with the angle of these shots! The person who took these photos obviously had bad intentions. Qin. Huan, you must believe in me!"
Although Mu Yu wanted so badly to leave this place that was filled with troubles, she knew only Qin Jinhuan could ask her to leave. If she was kicked out by Qin Xiaozhi with such an excuse, Qin Jinhuan would definitely not spare her. So she desperately fought for herself.
"Photos will never tell lies." Dong Wanqing's low voice rang from behind Qin Xiaozhi.
This woman had indeed pure desire to stir up trouble.
Mu Yu glared at her angrily. Then, she went head to head with Dong Wanqing and bellowed, "I didn't lie too!"
"Poo! There isn't even a lie detector here."
"You." Mu Yu suddenly realized something and her face flushed red from the anger. She pointed at Dong Wanqing and yelled, "It must be you behind all of this! You are such a troublemaker! You."
"You're the one committing a******y outside, yet you're here making lame arguments?" Qin Xiaozhi interrupted them coldly. "The one that you committed a******y with was Qing Tian Group's worst rival! What do you have in mind?"
"Worst rival?" Mu Yu's eyes widened with shock.
She was just a young girl who had just stepped into society. Her understanding of the Yuchi Industry and Qing Tian Group was only limited to what she heard of them. She didn't know at all about the grievances between the two of them.
At this moment, Dong Wanqing said faintly, "Maybe she's even a corporate spy sent by Yuchi Industry!" Her words had made Qin Xiaozhi's eyes turn cold.
This is indeed a cruel accusation!
Mu Yu, who didn't want Qin Jinhuan to misunderstand, quickly defended herself and said, "I've never dealt with people from the Yuchi Industry. This is the first time I met Yunzhe!"
"Yunzhe? Haha, you address him so intimately." Dong Wanqing immediately laughed out loud.
"I guessed it right. You're Yi Yunzhe's people!" Qin Xiaozhi's complexion darkened, and it looked scary.
"Yi Yunzhe?" Mu Yu was stunned.
H-His surname is Yi? I clearly remembered him introducing himself as Yunzhe!
Oh my God, could it be.
"You're telling me you didn't know Yi Yunzhe's surname is Yi? Miss Mu, you're really humorous." Dong Wanqing laughed with exaggeration that even her makeup was falling off from her skin.
After seeing several bodyguards that were standing behind Qin Jinhuan were frowning, Mu Yu knew Dong Wanqing wasn't lying, and her back broke out in a cold sweat.
She really didn't understand why Yi Yunzhe had introduced himself like that.
Could it be that Yi Yunzhe and Dong Wanqing set me up?
But didn't they just say Yuchi Industry and Qing Tian Group were the worst rivals?
Is that why there are no 'eternal enemies'?
Before she could clear her head, Qin Xiaozhi impatiently scolded again, "Huan, this woman is a time bomb for Qing Tian Group! I order you to kick this time bomb out of the Qin family immediately! The farther, the better!"
Qin Xiaozhi roared while using his walking stick to pound the ground forcefully. Every pound made Mu Yu shudder with shock, leaving her more and more confused.
It was only a normal meal. How did I become a corporate spy?
"Qin Jinhuan, did you hear what I said?" As Qin Jinhuan showed no response, Qin Xiaozhi's anger blazed even more. "At this point, can you still not see this woman's true colors?"
"I am really not a spy! This is really the first time I saw Yun. Yi Yunzhe." Mu Yu was very afraid that Qin Jinhuan would believe these slanders about her. She held his arm and explained weakly, "He really introduced himself as Yunzhe. I had not dealt with him before. You must believe in me!"
Although she hadn't stepped foot in the business world, she already knew how scary a corporate spy could be. She had every right to believe that once Qin Jinhuan believed in his grandpa's words, her entire family would never have a good life. The severity of the consequences was nowhere as bad as being kicked out by Qin Xiaozhi.
"You think Huan would be that stupid to believe in what you've said?"
"I do!"
Qin Jinhuan's loud firm words made Qin Xiaozhi entirely shocked. He didn't expect Qin Jinhuan, who had been keeping quiet the whole time, would say such a thing once he spoke up. Qin Xiaozhi couldn't help but get angry, and he asked in a serious tone, "Qin Jinhuan, do you know you're betting on the future of Qing Tian Group by believing in her? Aren't you afraid that she will blow you up into pieces?"
Mu Yu, who was still feeling warm by Qin Jinhuan's trust, quickly answered when she heard his words, "I won't."
"Shut up! There's no place for you to speak now!"
Mu Yu was upset and bit her lips. She then gazed pitifully again at Qin Jinhuan whom she had secretly praised him for his 'intelligence' countless times in her heart.
Qin Jinhuan patted her gently on the back of her hand and responded calmly to his grandpa's words, "She can't be a corporate spy with her intelligence."
What?
D-Don't his words have a derogatory sense?
She then saw Dong Wanqing's face was filled with mockery using the corner of her eyes. Mu Yu was speechless as she looked back at Qin Jinhuan again, annoyed.
Is it wise to help me out by using such a method?
Qin Xiaozhi pounded his walking stick loudly to the ground again. "I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go! I will not tolerate putting Qing Tian Group's existence in any kind of danger!"
Qin Jinhuan curled the corner of his mouth and looked at him. Then, he hugged Mu Yu's shoulders and said softly, "It's late, let's get back to the house and rest."
As he saw Qin Jinhuan forcefully taking Mu Yu into the house, Qin Xiaozhi took two steps backward as he stood in the middle of the gate and yelled, "Qin Jinhuan! How dare you take my words so lightly?"
Dong Wanqing quickly followed and walked over with him as she stood with him together in the middle of the gate. She looked at Mu Yu with a demonstrating look on her face.
Qin Jinhuan gestured Mu Yu to take a step forward and said, "You're well aware whether she's a danger or not. All right, Grandpa, I'm very tired. I'm done playing games. Let it go."
"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaozhi's complexion darkened.
"I was the one who agreed on letting Yu have a meal with her friends. I had also promised to go with her. I was only late for a few minutes due to the heavy traffic. Next time, let the person have some more time to edit the photos so that they would look more realistic." Qin Jinhuan took two more steps and then he paused again. "Another thing, please don't underestimate Mu Yu's intelligence next time. This is a humiliation to her. Don't think every woman is as stupid as the ones around you."
After understanding what he meant, Dong Wanqing immediately blushed, but she didn't dare to argue back.
There was an unnatural look on Qin Xiaozhi's face. After seeing Qin Jinhuan holding Mu Yu's hand and walking past him, he made one last try and said, "Qin Jinhuan, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Qin Jinhuan didn't look back and only responded softly, "I will be responsible for the decisions I make."
"Very good!" Qin Xiaozhi looked at their backs and bellowed furiously. "I want to see how much responsibility you can take! Also, I want to see how long you can protect this woman!"
"Then, I thank you for spending time and hard work to look for something to use against us." After Qin Jinhuan finished talking, he went upstairs with Mu Yu as both of them disappeared by the stairs.
"Grandpa." Dong Wanqing looked sadly at Qin Xiaozhi.
Qin Xiaozhi sighed and said, "We didn't have enough preparation for today's matter. You have to take this as a lesson so that you can kick this woman out with full confidence next time."
"But you have seen how Huan sided with this woman. Even if we have the goods on that woman, Huan will not allow us to kick her out."
"If this woman had really done something wrong and he insists on siding with her, I will use this as the reason to remove his inheritance according to his mother's last words. Then, I will work together with the board of directors to remove his position as the CEO of Qing Tian Group. By then, he will be left with nothing. He, who is used to living a respectable rich life, will certainly be unable to survive a few days of poor, hard life and come to me to admit his mistakes. He wouldn't dare to go against me after that."
"He will marry whomever you want him to marry then?" Dong Wanqing's eyes brightened with excitement.
"That's for sure." Qin Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows as if such a day was just around the corner.
"Grandpa, there's something I still don't understand. How much does his mother's legacy worth? If you remove his position as the CEO of Qing Tian Group, he wouldn't have any income. With that little sum of legacy, it would reduce little by little, and."
"It's not a small sum of money. Besides his mother's dowry, there is even the compensation I tried to make up for all these years to his mother and him because of Wentao's matter." Qin Xiaozhi sighed again. "With Huan's strong business mind, that sum of money is enough for him to rise again and be at the top in An City."
Why did you save so much money for him and his mother in the first place? Turns out it's all your fault after all.
Dong Wanqing grumbled inwardly. Of course, she wouldn't show any trace of it on her face.
In Qin Jinhuan's room, he walked to the side of the sofa as he removed his coat and simply threw it to one side. Then, he sat down, slowly washed the teapot, filled it with water, boiled the water, and made some tea.
While seeing his blank face, Mu Yu was even more nervous. After hesitating for a while, she then approached him and spoke in a low tone, "Today, I."
"In the future, unless I'm with you, you're not allowed to meet your friends when you're alone."
She was stunned by his cold voice. She hesitated and asked timidly, "Is it okay if it's the same s*x?"
"No."
"Not even the same s*x?"
Qin Jinhuan was pouring his tea for the first time as he glanced at her impatiently.
"I understand." She sat at the side of the sofa sullenly. After pondering for a while, she couldn't help but explain, "I really didn't know something like this would happen today, but you cannot blame Yihan, he."
"Don't you mention, 'Yihan', these two words in front of me ever again! Don't go meet up with him again!"
"I've already let him go!" Mu Yu immediately stood up.
"Since you have let him go, why are you being so emotional?"
"I." She quickly sat down and wanted to continue explaining. Her phone rang and she quickly fished it out from her pocket. When she saw 'Yihan', these two words, flashed on her phone screen, she was instantly dumbfounded.
"Pick it up and put it on speakerphone."
"Okay." She took a deep breath and answered the call shakily. Then, she tried her best to greet in a normal tone, "Yihan?"
"Yu, where are you? I want to see you."
