Mr. Tycoon Is Actually the Father of My Child!
Chapter 193: Avenging You

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Avenging You

Lin Qian and Chen Fei returned to the shop.

Upon entering, they saw Du Qian looking at her coldly.

Lin Qian pursed her lips and silently sighed in her heart.

Sneaking out during work hours, Du Qian was probably going to make an issue out of it again.

But, it was true that she had not followed the shop’s rules and regulations, deserving of a reprimand.

"Lin Qian, you ran off without cause during work hours, is this the fulfillment of a manager’s duties that you were just earnestly talking to me about?"

Sure enough, Du Qian’s sarcastic voice rang out.

Lin Qian opened her mouth to respond but before she could speak, Chen Fei jumped in.

"Manager Du, I’d like to report that Manager Lin just took me out to find a suitable place to welcome President Chu’s arrival. Look, Manager Lin has already found the place."

That remark made Lin Qian swallow the words she was about to say.

She looked at Chen Fei, who winked at her.

Was this girl planning to cover for her?

Lin Qian couldn’t help but smile, keeping silent.

Avoiding trouble is better than seeking it; if this could be used as an excuse to avoid Du Qian’s deliberate targeting, then it was acceptable.

"The location is set? Where?"

Despite her displeasure, Du Qian’s attention was drawn to this matter.

"It’s decided on Meili, the most famous club in Su City for receiving President Chu. Manager Du, do you think that’s appropriate?"

Chen Fei asked with a smile.

Hearing that the location was at Meili, Du Qian’s stern expression eased slightly.

She glared at Lin Qian, "What are you standing around for? Come to my office and report on how you’ve been handling work during this period."

"Okay."

Lin Qian did not object, and as Du Qian turned to head to her office, she glanced at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei gestured a ’fighting’ pose and mouthed the words "fight on" silently.

Lin Qian smiled and entered the office in a rather good mood.

Inside the office, Du Qian coldly asked Lin Qian about all the intricacies of the shop’s work, occasionally quizzing her on specialized knowledge.

Lin Qian answered each question, trying her best to leave no room for Du Qian to find fault.

But the better she performed, the more threatened Du Qian seemed to feel.

The more outstanding a person is, the more likely they are to arouse jealousy.

After the interaction, Lin Qian felt dry mouthed and exhausted as if she had taken a more tiring exam than any at school.

Finally, having run out of patience, Du Qian looked at her disdainfully and said, "Lin Qian, all I’ve asked you about are the basics. Get your foundations solid. A person who hasn’t even graduated from college has become a manager. I hope you conduct yourself appropriately and don’t tarnish MXL’s reputation. Off you go, get back to work!"

With that disparaging speech, Lin Qian had no interest in getting into a verbal sparring match with her, so she pursed her lips and turned to leave.

She knew that Du Qian was targeting her.

So no matter how well she had done today, she couldn’t avoid being picked on.

Why bother arguing with such a person.

Tiring!

Lin Qian, feeling parched, went to the break room and poured herself a glass of water.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Taking a sip of water, she took out her phone and couldn’t help but smile as she saw the caller ID.

It was Fang Tong on the line.

She answered, and Fang Tong’s cheerful voice came through.

"Little Qian, where are you?"

"I’m at work."

"At work? Mr. Yin dropped you off, didn’t he?"

Fang Tong’s voice was laced with amusement, "Mr. Yin is really nice. You know, when I ran into him at the Yins, I just mentioned you were in the hospital, and he dropped everything, a big deal included, to rush to the hospital to find you. And he even publicly denied the rumors with Qiao Xiya in front of the reporters and warned her. I saw on the news, Qiao Xiya’s face looked horribly ugly!"

Hearing Fang Tong’s words, Lin Qian’s lips tightened.

So it was because of Fang Tong that Yin Moran had come to find her at the hospital.

He had spoken to reporters too?

It must have been after she left that the reporters arrived.

That proud man, just thinking of him set her heart aflutter.

However, the thought of Qiao Xiya...

"Little Qian, are you listening to me? Have you become so smitten that you’re speechless?"

Fang Tong’s teasing voice ebbed through the phone.

Lin Qian snapped back to the present and tugged at the corner of her mouth, "No, not at all."

It was sweet, yet also complicated.

She admitted she was cowardly.

She feared her loved ones being hurt because of her.

Especially her child.

"Hmm? You sound unhappy! What’s happened? Tell me."

Fang Tong, astute as ever, detected something off in Lin Qian’s tone and inquired.

"I’m fine."

"Still saying you’re fine? Little Qian, if you consider me a friend, don’t keep things from me," Fang Tong chided, forthright and refreshing.

Lin Qian felt warmth in her heart and found herself wanting to confide.

"Tong, I’m really conflicted. I know Moran is like a shining star in the sky; I’m lucky to catch his eye. He has helped me so much, I should be with him regardless of everything. But..."

Lin Qian bit her lip, "Because he’s so outstanding, there are many women after him. I can disregard everything, but I can’t neglect my child’s safety. Today, Qiao Xiya’s fans caused trouble at the shop; what about tomorrow? Could they relentlessly go after my son? I can’t be selfish, indulging in my happiness while compromising my child’s safety."

Her child was the softest part of her heart.

She could give up everything as long as her child grew up safely.

"Little Qian, aren’t you worrying unnecessarily? Mr. Yin has already warned Qiao Xiya, I think no matter how venomous she is, she wouldn’t target your child," Fang Tong tried to console her, and Lin Qian pursed her lips in response, "Who knows? Back at the hospital, Qiao Xiya warned me not to forget there’s a child by my side. I’ll never forget how chilling her expression was when she said it. I can’t risk my child’s safety."

Qiao Xiya, even if not deeply loved by Yin Moran, held a significant place for him.

Lin Qian couldn’t be sure, if Qiao Xiya were to harm her child, whether Yin Moran would hold her responsible.

No, even if he did, the harm to her child would have been done, and she couldn’t allow her child to fall into danger.

"What? Qiao Xiya used your child to warn you to stay away from Mr. Yin? That disgusting woman has gone too far."

Fang Tong was seething, "But Little Qian, don’t worry too much. I doubt Qiao Xiya dares to take it out on your child; unless she really wants to provoke Yin Moran and suffer for it. However, since she dared to warn you like that, we must fight back tooth for tooth."

Fight back tooth for tooth?

Lin Qian blinked, "Tong, what are you planning to do?"

"Heh, Little Qian, I can’t stand such despicable women. Just wait, I’ll take revenge for you."

"Ah? Hold on, Tong..."

"I got work to do, talk to you later."

The phone beeped with a dial tone, and Lin Qian, looking at the phone screen, couldn’t help but laugh.

Take revenge for her?

What exactly was this girl planning to do?
