Chapter 126: If he knew about what you did back then, would he still want you?

~8 min read 1,423 words

"Shut up."

Lady Qin shrieked.

Qin Yunshu's face turned pale inch by inch, and she could barely stand.

Although Qin Jianguo was in a towering rage, he still held it back.

He said coldly, "I don't care; either way, she must live here until the child is born."

"Also, Qin Yunshu, you must give me 100,000 yuan for living expenses every month."

Qin Yunshu gritted her teeth; how could she have that much money?

Although she was in charge of perfume research and development at Chu Group, she had only been there for a short time, and her monthly salary was no more than 50,000 yuan.

Moreover, when the Qin Family went bankrupt, although Chu Li said he wouldn't interfere, he had secretly given them a hand, so the Qin Family still had assets; there was no need for her to provide money every month.

Qin Jianguo was being completely intentional.

He held a grudge that she and her mother had chosen to abandon him when the incident occurred.

"I don't have it," Qin Yunshu said in a strained tone.

Qin Jianguo gave a cold snort: "Didn't Chu Li find you a good husband? If you don't have it, he does. If you don't give it to me, I'll go ask him for it. I want to see if he would still want you if he knew about what you did back then."

After he finished speaking, he helped his mistress upstairs.

Qin Yunshu hugged Lady Qin and wept bitterly, "Mom, what should I do? If Dad goes to find Cheng Han, then I'm finished."

Lady Qin held her daughter and cursed bitterly.

"He wouldn't dare."

That was what she said, but they both understood that Qin Jianguo was capable of such a thing.

For the sake of his own interests, he was capable of anything.

"Don't be afraid, Yun Shu," Lady Qin wiped her daughter's tears, "Don't be afraid, Mom is here."

The two of them cried uncontrollably.

It was already past one in the morning by the time Cheng Wan finished accompanying Lin Qingya to look at wedding dresses.

The servant on the side tactfully reminded Cheng Wan not to stay up late.

Lin Qingya only then remembered that Cheng Wan was still a pregnant woman; she was still not satisfied, but she firmly told Cheng Wan to go rest.

The next afternoon, Cheng Wan took Lin Qingya to the airport.

Lin Qingya planned to travel around first, and finally go to Bali Town.

So she had bought the afternoon flight at the last minute.

At the airport.

Cheng Wan urged Lin Qingya to call her after she arrived.

Lin Qingya mocked her for being like an old mother.

Cheng Wan felt helpless, but still couldn't help but urge her again: "Qingya, you have to take care of yourself."

Lin Qingya understood her worry.

If Cheng Han hadn't returned, she might never have left Yuncheng.

But now, she only wanted to escape this place.

Wiping away her tears, she gave Cheng Wan a fierce hug, "Wanwan, goodbye."

Cheng Wan also hugged her tightly.

The boarding announcement sounded.

Lin Qingya pushed her suitcase to join the queue.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and an unfamiliar local number appeared on the screen.

Lin Qingya's first reaction was that a client had a problem, so she answered it immediately.

A strange yet familiar voice sounded in her ear.

"Lin Qingya, did I give you permission to leave?"

It was Cheng Han.

Lin Qingya's eyes widened instantly, and she looked around, but she couldn't see a trace of Cheng Han anywhere.

She hung up the phone without hesitation.

She followed the crowd to move forward in the queue.

The phone "dinged" again, and a message came in.

【If you take one more step forward, Cheng Wan and the child in her belly will have to pay the price for you today.】

Lin Qingya subconsciously looked at Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan was still standing in the same spot, but behind her, a man in black wearing a baseball cap and a mask had appeared at some point.

One of his hands was tucked into his jacket pocket, and the pocket bulged into the shape of some object.

Wanwan.

"Are you still going or not?" the person behind her urged.

Lin Qingya came back to her senses and apologized quickly: "Sorry, I'm not going anymore."

She left the queue without hesitation and returned to Cheng Wan's side.

Cheng Wan frowned; she had been watching Lin Qingya just now and had taken in every one of her changing expressions.

"What happened?"

Lin Qingya forced a smile, "Wanwan, I thought about it, and I still don't want to leave you here alone. I don't want to go anymore."

Cheng Wan didn't believe her excuse: "Was that Cheng Han who called you just now?"

She had guessed it.

Lin Qingya glanced at the man behind her, her expression very poor.

"It's not that, it's not him, Wanwan, I'm feeling a bit unwell, let's go back."

She grabbed her suitcase, pulled Cheng Wan, and ran out quickly.

It was as if she were afraid that Cheng Wan would force her onto the plane.

Once they reached the outside of the airport, they ran straight into Chu Li.

He saw Lin Qingya, and his brows furrowed, "You didn't leave?"

He knew Lin Qingya was leaving today.

At this moment, he had come specifically to pick up Cheng Wan.

Lin Qingya forced herself to find an excuse, "I forgot to take some things."

Chu Li's gaze was deep and distant as he stared at Lin Qingya, "You should leave this place."

Given the current situation, Lin Qingya leaving would be better for everyone.

Lin Qingya tightened her grip on the suitcase handle; of course she knew, and she didn't want to stay here either.

But she...

Had no choice.

Cheng Wan could not watch this any longer.

She guessed that Lin Qingya's sudden change of heart was related to that phone call.

Lin Qingya refused to explain.

But so what? Whether to leave or not was Lin Qingya's freedom.

"Enough, Chu Li." She shielded her friend and looked at the man with dissatisfaction, "Qingya has her own sense of propriety."

Chu Li rubbed his brow, his expression not very good.

"Lin Qingya, Cheng Han has to enter a marriage alliance, and besides, you and he are never possible, are you not? What are you staying here for?"

His words were sharp, hoping that Lin Qingya could think it through.

There were tears in Lin Qingya's eyes, and her fingernails dug into the suitcase handle with extreme force.

"Rest assured, I will not affect his marriage to Miss Qin."

"Your presence here is an influence in itself." Chu Li's tone was somewhat harsh, but it was the truth.

Lin Qingya could not speak.

She had always been the one who was shunned.

Suddenly, her palm felt warm.

It was Cheng Wan, holding her hand.

Cheng Wan looked at Chu Li and said sarcastically, "As long as it is something Qin Yunshu wants, everyone must yield, is that it?"

She was like this, and her friend was the same.

Everyone, as long as they blocked Qin Yunshu's path, had to retreat.

"Wanwan, you misunderstood my meaning." Chu Li explained.

Facing Cheng Wan, his attitude was much softer, "I am also thinking of her."

Cheng Wan understood, but she did not like Chu Li's tone.

It was too aggressive, entirely an attitude of protecting Qin Yunshu.

She thought for a moment, then decided to say what she had seen.

"Qingya was originally going to leave, but she took a phone call, and only came out after that. I think the call must have been from Cheng Han."

She said this and looked at Lin Qingya, "You say it yourself."

Lin Qingya pursed her lips, "No, it was I who regretted it myself."

Her tears fell.

She could not say it.

She could not say anything.

Chu Li was silent for a few seconds, "Get in the car, I'll take you both back."

Lin Qingya pushed Cheng Wan, "President Chu, please take Wanwan back, I'll just take a taxi myself."

At this moment, only by handing Cheng Wan over to Chu Li could she feel at ease.

But she could not leave with Cheng Wan.

She did not want to bring danger to Cheng Wan because of herself.

How could Cheng Wan let her leave alone, but Lin Qingya's movements were faster; she hailed a taxi and left.
