Chapter 37: Chapter 36 Lin Qinghuan
Lin Qinghuan froze.
Tears escaped uncontrollably.
She suddenly spoke in a low voice, her voice somewhat hoarse, “Qin Yize, stop!” @@novelbin@@
Qin Yize continued to stride forward.
Yet, annoyance was rising inside him.
Because of his face, because of his family background, because of his excellence, he was always hounded by bold girls.
From childhood, it was simply exasperating.
It made him want to avoid girls at all costs!
For a while, Chu Chengfeng even thought he was gay, which quite alarmed him for some time.
He had thought Lin Qinghuan was somewhat different, but last night when he saw her, he knew that everything before had been a pretense.
If Lin Qinghuan had not sought him out today, it might have ended like that, and he would not have had to embarrass her to make her give up.
But she had come anyway.
This woman really liked to masquerade one thing as another.
Bai Yun was like this, Lin Qinghuan was also like this, they were far behind Gu Qiaoqiao in this aspect.
Gu Qiaoqiao, that little woman, when she liked you, she would marry you no matter what; when she didn’t like you, she would insist on divorce no matter what.
Even looking at him seemed tiresome!
Thinking about this, a cold glint passed through Qin Yize’s eyes, Gu Qiaoqiao made it too simple to think of him.
By this time, Lin Qinghuan had already run up in front of Qin Yize, blocking him, and said hurriedly, “Ah Ze, I’m sorry, I misspoke just now, I really didn’t mean anything else, can you not be angry with me?”
Qin Yize’s brows showed impatience, “Misspoke?”
“Mm, I really misspoke,” said Lin Qinghuan, swallowing her broken teeth and blood, forcing a smile and said, “Ah Ze, you aren’t really mad at me, are you?”
“What do you think?” Qin Yize retorted.
“I promise I won’t talk recklessly anymore,” said Lin Qinghuan playfully raising her right hand.
Her eyes nervously focused on Qin Yize, terrified he would truly turn hostile.
Qin Yize raised his eyebrows unemotionally and then said nonchalantly, “We’ve both grown up, it’s not appropriate for you to call me Ah Ze, I have to go, there’s something else I need to attend to.”
With that, he didn’t wait for Lin Qinghuan to respond, and strode towards the direction of the KTV.
His silhouette was straight, tall, and distinguished, walking through this snowy landscape as if he was a solitary god traversing the mortal world.
Lin Qinghuan didn’t chase after him, merely staring blankly as the tall, slim figure disappeared around the corner.
It took a long while before she felt the icy sting on her face.
Her hand slowly clenched, and only then did she feel the howling wind, her body shivering with cold.
But all these could not outweigh the coldness in her heart.
She had seen him behave this way with others before, and had felt a little thrill and pride, but when it was directed at her, she found it to be despairingly unbearable.
She didn’t think she was stubborn because even after a year abroad, she hadn’t seen anyone more outstanding than Qin Yize; there might have been some, but when your heart and eyes were filled with him alone, no one else could fit in.
What was that woman’s name, Gu Qiaoqiao?
A simple village girl from the countryside, uneducated, without family background, plain—why did she become Ah Ze’s wife?
What secrets lay behind all this?
Hiding the fierce glint in her eyes, Lin Qinghuan took a deep breath and walked in the other direction.
When Qin Yize arrived at the KTV, Brother Hao wasn’t there, and without thinking, he knew he had dodged out.
He sat on the sofa in Brother Hao’s office, his posture relaxed, and said indifferently to Brother Hao’s underlings, “Tell your Brother Hao I will only wait for him one hour.”
The voice wasn’t loud, but the terrifying invisible pressure still made the underling swallow his saliva.
This man was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.
Didn’t you see Brother Hao was so scared that he ducked out?
After Qin Yize finished speaking, he started to make tea for himself and didn’t look at the somewhat doubtful young brother again.
The young brother hesitated for a long time but eventually agreed with a smile plastered on his face.
He then hurriedly left Brother Hao’s office.
More than half an hour later, Brother Hao, with his face covered in sweat, pushed the office door open.
Then, feeling guilty, he quickly shut the door again.
Brother Hao’s two underlings, both big and burly men, didn’t follow him in, but stood at the door like two iron towers.
After a long while, a muffled grunt came from inside the room, followed by a sound like a heavy object hitting the floor. The two men exchanged glances. Though they wanted to go in, they recalled Brother Hao’s earlier instructions and reluctantly stayed at the door.
No one was allowed to disturb them.
About an hour later, the door pushed open.
Qin Yize appeared at the doorway, as if illuminated by a splendid moonlight.
His handsome face, though seemingly calm, harbored a brewing storm in his eyes.
His lips tightly pressed, he was as cold as Satan from Hell.
He glanced back coldly, then straightened his coat and walked leisurely down the stairs with his long strides.
A young brother quickly escorted Qin Yize out.
While the other one hurried into the room.
Upon entering, he saw their boss, Brother Hao, sitting on the sofa, bent over, pressing a handkerchief to his mouth.
The young brother was shocked. There indeed had been a fight.
Despite being a refined gentleman, Qin Yize was even more ruthless than they were.
Brother Hao looked up and saw the young brother, his face stoic. “Go tell Xiao Zheng to shut down for a month.”
“Big brother, shut down, but why?” the young brother asked doubtfully, knowing it was the peak time for business.
“Damn it, why all the nonsense, just go!” Brother Hao roared angrily.
Frightened, the young brother hurried out to find the hotel’s assistant manager, Xiao Zheng.
Brother Hao clutched his stomach and grimaced. Qin Yize had been too brutal, targeting the weak spots.
It was excruciatingly painful.
Yet his eyes could not contain the sinister threat; Bai Yun and Ning Yuli, those two vile women, dared to deceive him.
Turns out, the person they intended to harm was Qin Yize’s wife.
He may be seeking death, but they shouldn’t drag him down too.
This was a grudge he could not swallow.
Meanwhile, Qin Yize, who had left, reached the newsstand. The old man, smiling, put down the newspaper and handed Qin Yize the phone.
Qin Yize made a call to Chu Chengfeng, got Zhu Jianguo’s home number, had no time to respond to Chu Chengfeng’s incessant chatter, hung up, and then called Zhu’s house.
But he was told Zhu Jianguo had left early in the morning.
Even Zhu’s family didn’t know where he went.
After hanging up, a cold smile appeared on Qin Yize’s lips. Had the thief, struck by guilt, run away early?
He made a few more calls, then stood in front of the newsstand window, waiting for a reply.
The old man was delighted.
The young man looked even better than a movie star; simply by standing there, he attracted several young girls to buy newspapers and magazines.
Only, his expression was a bit colder.
The old man wanted to strike up a conversation, but seeing the young man’s furrowed brow and thoughtful face, he did not disturb him.
Instead, he picked up his tea pot and continued to read his newspaper.
What do you think?
