Chapter 239: I Don't Believe

Qin Yuanjun looked at that chubby little face, his hand itched, and he wanted to punch the kid.

"No wonder people say her personality is a lot like yours. She's really not your biological daughter?"

"She's softer than me!"

"Is that so? I can't tell!"

This guy adds fuel to the fire, saying aggravating things the moment his mouth opens, with uncanny skill, not at all like a three‑year‑old child.

Qin Yuanjun thought of Su Xi's tactics, finally let go despondently, and walked slowly toward the car behind him.

"Uncle, how did Uncle Qin end up coming with us?"

"You should call him 'uncle‑by‑marriage'!"

"That doesn't matter! How could he go with you? Isn't he devoted to Aunt Guan Xianxian, promising to stay together forever?"

"Probably beaten by reality."

Qin Tao stole a glance at Su Xi—yes, this 'reality' is you, the CEO yourself!

【I feel like Uncle is just placating me.】

【Host, your Uncle is a bit underhanded. He first had someone befriend Qin Yuanjun and give him some assistance. After Qin Yuanjun labored and achieved something, he had that person betray him.】

【Ah, what's Uncle after?】

It costs a lot! And the risk is huge! The returns are completely disproportionate to the investment.

【Dampen his vigor? Anyway, your Uncle arranged several people; the once proud, sharp‑tongued Qin Yuanjun, who couldn't understand others, can now calmly speculate and analyze every word others say.】

【Qin Zhenzhong is regretting again? Wants to bring Qin Yuanjun back? Now that he knows my Uncle's methods, will he blame my Uncle?】

Wulongcha also doesn't grasp this tangled parent‑child relationship among humans, 【this plan was approved by Qin Zhenzhong. Your Uncle even kept evidence.】

【That's good, so Qin Zhenzhong won't sell my Uncle just to win his son's heart.】

Wulongcha thinks the likelihood is high.

"Huh, why did we stop?"

Su Yu looked at the place where the car stopped; it was an open park.

"Let's go! To meet your great‑aunt's grandfather!"

"Alright!"

Su Xi led Su Yu out of the car, and Qin Yuanjun followed suit.

They entered a spacious activity room; Qin Yuanjun saw Qin Zhenzhong and, dejected, shouted, "Dad, you let him threaten me—what exactly does he want?"

Earlier Dad said he'd kick him out of the house; now Dad himself comes after him, and he's irritated. This repetitive life is boring and unbearable, suffocating!

Qin Zhenzhong closed his eyes. He regretted it! Perhaps back then he shouldn't have handed this child over to others, nor should he have pitied him for losing his mother and let him grow freely. If he had been harsher, throwing him into a squad for training—though still not as good as Ke Yuan—he could have become an upright, discerning person.

"Why don't you first check the current surveillance?"

When Su Xi left with Qin Yuanjun, he gave Qin Yuanjun a surveillance feed and told him to place it at the doorway.

Qin Yuanjun opened the computer; the screen showed the living room.

"What's up, how could he be here?"

Qin Yuanjun looked up at Guan Xianxian and didn't think anything odd, until he saw another man!

How could Shi Yu be in his and Xianxian's home? He'd just left not long ago; how could Shi Yu arrive so quickly? He was certain that previously only he and Guan Xianxian lived there!

Perhaps he's been betrayed too many times lately, Qin Yuanjun's mind is filled only with doubt! Another person betrayed him? How did they manage it?

"Is this the new technology from Uncle‑by‑marriage's company? Even the surveillance can be forged?"

Qin Yuanjun still didn't quite believe it. The timing was too short!

Su Yu eagerly said, "Uncle‑by‑marriage, are you talking about my grandfather?"

【Hehe, is it 'not seeing the Yellow River, heart still alive'? I'll help you!】

Qin Yuanjun glanced at Su Yu, "Yeah!"

He still didn't like that cheap cousin and the child she bore. Especially since that child had previously witnessed his dark past while recording their miserable scene—pure bullying!

"My grandfather's new company hasn't launched yet, so his firm has no new technology!"

Qin Yuanjun furrowed his brows, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Qin Zhenzhong spoke calmly, "The Ji Family suffered a setback; he was fired. Now someone wants to re‑hire him. Therefore, Xiao Yu's statement is spot‑on!"

"Uncle‑by‑marriage, why can't you ever understand what others say? And you especially don't trust your father; it's as if your face has the three big characters 'I don't believe' written on it!"

Qin Yuanjun's complexion darkened from the remark.

Su Xi at this moment said, "Give her a call and, with headphones, listen to the surveillance audio, will that do?"

So simple, facts trump rhetoric!

Qin Yuanjun pulled out his phone and dialed.

On the surveillance side, Guan Xianxian muted her phone and tossed it onto the sofa.

Qin Yuanjun heard Shi Yu ask her, "Whose call is this, why not answer?"

"Qin Yuanjun, so annoying, just stepped out, and he keeps calling back; people don't want to deal with him~"

Guan Xianxian was fed up! Dealing daily with the possessive Qin Yuanjun, she was exhausted!

"Good, if he can return to the Qin family, it'll be very useful!"

Guan Xianxian, hearing that, immediately flared up, "Useful! Useful! All you ever say is 'useful'! Don't you care about me and the child? After we finally found a suitable way to completely eliminate Qin Yuanjun, you now want to push me to him. Do you love me and the child or not? Isn't it perfectly legitimate for us to be together?"

Qin Yuanjun watched Shi Yu cradle Guan Xianxian in his arms, soothing her, then hung up and dialed another number.

"Good, I'm not doing this for our child's sake? Look, I've moved next door to take care of you and the child."

Guan Xianxian took a deep breath, opened her phone, "Brother Jun~"

Qin Yuanjun's voice was calm, as if he couldn't see what was on the surveillance.

"Xianxian, are you feeling unwell?"

No, I just got a little hungry and was eating in the kitchen, Brother Jun—do you miss me already after being away for a moment?

Qin Yuanjun's mind went blank, but he instinctively replied in a soft voice, "I do!"

Having been deceived so many times, he had learned to act. He could speak gentle, lover-like words with a blank face. But why, among those who deceived him, was she? He obviously loved her so much!

Brother Jun, what are you doing? Baby also misses you!

Guan Xianxian recited the text Shi Yu had given her, and he felt a sudden panic. How much of their past mutual understanding and love was real, how much fake? Did he like Guan Xianxian herself, or the team behind her pulling the strings?

Qin Yuanjun watched Shi Yu reach out, stroking Guan Xianxian's belly up and down, his hand clenched into a fist. "Dad came to find me, but he hasn't arrived yet; I'll give you a call. I can't leave you alone at home!"

From both the earphones and the phone came Guan Xianxian's pitiful words.

"Brother Jun, isn't your dad still unwilling to accept me? It's all my fault! Otherwise we should now be a reunited family, and the child would receive the elders' affection as soon as born—boo hoo!"

Qin Yuanjun heard the double crying, looked over at Guan Xianxian where there was lightning but no rain, and suddenly lost interest in continuing to ask.

"Don't cry, it's bad for your health; my dad's here, I'll call you again later, baby, goodbye!"

Qin Yuanjun hung up the phone, but the conversation in the earphones continued.

"He's not quite right; he's not as enthusiastic toward you as before!"

"It's not those damned people, still talking about rich young ladies and eldest young masters, ending up swindling Qin Yuanjun enough to make him angry! Half of his money was stolen, and that's our money!"

Guan Xianxian felt heartbroken over that money! Qin Yuanjun simply threw the money away! Starting a business? The fact proves Qin Yuanjun simply doesn't have the brains for it; he'd be better off leaving it saved to earn interest! That interest would be used for her and her son!

Shi Yu still felt that Qin Yuanjun's attitude toward Guan Xianxian was less warm than before.

Guan Xianxian saw Shi Yu furrow his brow, gently placed her hand on his head, and said, "I don't want you to frown. When he comes back, I'll coax him well, and then it'll be fine."

Anyway, Qin Yuanjun is easy to fool, and Guan Xianxian is very confident!

Bang!

Thump!

The earphones were flung by Qin Yuanjun, hit the wall, then fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

Qin Yuanjun shouted irritably, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Why disturb his life?

"If you can't even accept this, wouldn't more drive you crazy?"

【Yeah, yeah, going to a mental hospital isn't so bad.】

Qin Yuanjun looked at Qin Zhenzhong and Su Xi, "What do you want from me?!"

His dad had already abandoned him, that was his only relative! This child isn't his, he can reject it, wait for Guan Xianxian to give birth to one!

Qin Zhenzhong felt somewhat desperate; perhaps his Qin family was destined to die out.

"You still don't believe me even now?"

【Qin Zhenzhong, how indecisive you are!】

Su Yu got goosebumps! Qin Zhenzhong now resembles the original spouse who exposed the scheming woman. But the scumbag still loves the scheming woman as always, wearing a green hat doesn't matter!

"Whether I believe it or not, you would never agree to me being with her!"

"When will you understand? I just don't want you to be hurt by that woman!"

If Guan Xianxian had no ill intent, Qin Zhenzhong wouldn't care who his daughter-in-law was! But since Qin Yuanjun met Guan Xianxian, how many wrongs has he done for her? The benefits go to Guan Xianxian, the faults fall on Qin Yuanjun.

"I can't bear to watch you lose your life!"

Qin Yuanjun is the sole cherished memory left by Qin Zhenzhong's most beloved wife!

If he was truly schemed against, death is certain!

He just wants a living son; where did he go wrong?

Su Xi observed the father and son's expressions, and when Qin Yuanjun's emotions eased, he handed over the information he had found.

If it were before, Qin Yuanjun would have flung the documents open and stormed out angrily. Now he gently took the files and pictures from Su Xi's hands and began to examine them carefully.

After reading, Qin Yuanjun collapsed to the ground, head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

Su Yu was very curious, 【What are those things?】
