Chapter 358: Chapter 358: How to Separate the Two of Them

Lin Qian took a deep breath, looked at Chu Yelin, and said, "Chu Yelin, the truth is, I’m just a selfish and vain woman. I’m deeply sorry, and I hope you won’t be angry. Please don’t focus on me anymore. There’s actually a wonderful woman by your side. I believe that as long as you’re willing, you can find happiness."

Xu Xinyi has always silently stayed by his side. If he looks back just once, he will definitely see Xu Xinyi’s genuine feelings for him.

After Lin Qian finished speaking, she said no more.

Chu Yelin’s handsome face darkened, his eyes churning with boundless fury.

The two of them quietly stared at each other, the atmosphere in the air growing heavy.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Chu Ziyang ran in on his little legs.

"Mommy, can’t you marry Daddy anymore? Didn’t you promise Daddy you would marry him? How can you go back on your word?"

The tender voice rang out with a thread of anxiety. Lin Qian turned around, flustered.

"Ziyang, weren’t you supposed to be at school?"

She wasn’t ready to break the news to her son yet.

How did he suddenly appear?

"He refused to leave. He got to the elevator and came back."

Xu Xinyi glanced at Lin Qian and helplessly offered an explanation.

Both of them had overheard the conversation outside.

She didn’t know what to feel in her heart.

A bit relieved, yet equally resigned.

Deep down, she certainly hoped Lin Qian would choose Yin Moran.

But Chu Yelin? He would never let go easily.

This game of rivalry—who knew when it would end?

Upon hearing Xu Xinyi’s words and seeing Chu Ziyang’s delicate little face, Lin Qian sighed within herself.

"Ziyang, Mommy is afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I probably won’t marry your Daddy. But don’t worry, we are your parents, and we’ll definitely raise you together."

Since they had already overheard, she decided to clarify her position outright.

"But Mommy..."

"Alright, Ziyang, you still need to go to school. Mommy will take you there."

She had been fretting over how to leave the hospital room. Now that she had said her piece to Chu Yelin, it was better to leave quickly, to avoid further awkwardness.

Lin Qian took Chu Ziyang into her arms and gave Xu Xinyi a faint smile. "Doctor Xu, stay here and look after Chu Yelin. I’ll take Ziyang to school myself."

Xu Xinyi glanced at Chu Yelin but said nothing, merely sighing inwardly as she watched Lin Qian leave the room with Chu Ziyang.

Lin Qian had rejected Chu Yelin—this man was bound to lose his temper again.

As soon as the door to the room closed, as expected, the sound of a cup shattering on the ground reached her ears.

Xu Xinyi turned, her gaze landing on Chu Yelin’s darkened, broodingly handsome face, his eyes filled with cold fury.

She opened her mouth, wanting to offer him some comfort, but ultimately said nothing, silently picking up the shards of glass from the floor instead.

Chu Yelin’s thin lips pressed tightly, his tense jawline appearing even harder and colder.

He fixed a cold glare on the woman tidying up the mess, saying nothing.

At that moment, the cellphone placed to the side began to ring.

Chu Yelin glanced at the caller ID, slowly reached over, and answered with a stern face.

A frantic voice belonging to Qiao Xiya came through the phone. "President Chu, my people told me Lin Qian spent the night in a hotel with Yin Moran yesterday. Did you know?"

Did he know?

He didn’t need anyone to remind him.

Chu Yelin’s mood had sunk to rock bottom. "Miss Qiao, what era do you think we’re living in? Checking into a hotel—what’s the big deal? Didn’t you also take Yin Moran to a hotel, only for him to end up leaving you for another woman?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiya was clearly choked silent on the other end.

"President Chu, judging by your tone, it seems you were aware. We are allies—there’s no need to be sarcastic with me. We should think carefully about how to split those two apart moving forward!"

How to split them apart?

They had already slept together. At this point, Lin Qian didn’t even care about her child’s feelings. She was dead-set on being with Yin Moran.

What could he possibly do to break them up?

Chu Yelin tightened his grip on the phone, his expression grim, his thoughts a bit muddled.

Forcing himself to calm down, an idea suddenly crossed his mind, and he curled his lips into a cold, cynical smile. "Miss Qiao, I’ll come up with a way to separate them. But you’d best start brainstorming yourself too. Don’t let him use you and toss you aside without consequence."

Thunderous bark, yet feeble bite—how much time had even passed since her affair with Chu Yelin was swept under the rug?

Utterly useless!

Chu Yelin didn’t care whether Qiao Xiya was angered by his response and directly hung up the call.

He didn’t lack allies—there were plenty of people willing to take down Yin Moran alongside him.

Now it was time to stir up more trouble for him!

With that thought in mind, Chu Yelin dialed another number.

The sound of ringing echoed, and shortly after, a man’s relaxed voice floated through the line.

"Hello, President Chu."

"It’s me. Mr. Yin Jingchen, are you even capable? Not long ago, I went to great lengths to sabotage the overseas project Yin Moran is in charge of, yet you didn’t seize the chance to drag him down. At this point, I’m beginning to wonder whether I chose the wrong partner!"

Yin Jingchen, the second son of the Yin Family and representative of the Yin Group’s second branch.

This was a long-standing associate of his.

The two shared a mutual goal: to bring Yin Moran down!

Chu Yelin’s voice was low and sharp as he interrogated Yin Jingchen.

A chuckle came from the other end of the line. "Hey, President Chu, don’t be mad. I’ve been putting in plenty of effort! But you know how it is—Yin Moran is basically a prodigy in the business world. Who would’ve guessed he could resolve such a tricky overseas project in no time flat? I’m just as frustrated as you!"

"Oh? So what you’re saying is that you admit you’re incompetent?"

Leaning on the bed’s headboard, Chu Yelin’s gaze shifted, unintentionally landing on the woman still collecting shards of glass. Watching her frown as she placed a finger, cut by the glass, into her mouth to suck gently.

Instantly, his brows furrowed, and he instinctively lifted the comforter to get out of bed.

The sound of Yin Jingchen’s light laughter floated into his ears. "Oh come on, President Chu, no need to use reverse psychology on me. I’ve been strategizing all along. Sure, his business skills are top-notch, but there are other angles to bring him down."

"Oh? What’s your plan?"

Chu Yelin stepped down from the bed, phone still in hand, and walked toward Xu Xinyi.

"Haha, President Chu, hear me out—Yin Moran has offended many influential figures because of Lin Qian. While they may not openly say anything, there isn’t a single one of them who doesn’t hold grudges against him under the surface."

"Upper-class society is always driven by interests. Members of the board—the Old Turtle clan, as you’d call them—they’re all more or less connected to some of these powerful figures. For this reason, they’ve long harbored discontent toward Yin Moran."

"Meanwhile, I’ve been focusing on building connections within the company. Quite a few board members have privately expressed that if Yin Moran were to encounter trouble, they would back the second branch."

"Recently, his scandal with Qiao Xiya was all the rage. The company’s board has already criticized him over it. If, at this point, he winds up in another scandal..."
