Chapter 311: 315 Three Women One Play_1

Women seem to be perpetually discontented, always wanting things to be clear and explicit despite any answer they get.

Lin Xiangwan sat in the private room of the restaurant, her mood deeply bothered as she sank deep into her thoughts, her face filled with worry.

As Song Yuyun and Shen Hanqian were engaged in an intense conversation, they turned to look at the woman who had drifted away from the group.

Shen Hanqian waved her delicate hand in front of her face. "Beauty, what are you thinking about?"

It took Lin Xiangwan a full ten seconds before she responded. "Huh? What’s up?"

"Damn, what’s up? What are you thinking about?" Shen Hanqian frowned and complained irritably. "Yuyun and I made time to come here just to see you, do you know how hard it is? We are so busy with work, unlike you, born lucky, a pampered rich lady!"

Lin Xiangwan looked at Shen Hanqian in anguish. "How can you say that? Aren’t you also a pampered lady? When it comes to that, you’re more deserving of the ’pampered lady’ label than I am. After all, you’re officially married to Qiao Junnan!"

Shen Hanqian also frowned, asking in sheer bewilderment. "Wait. Are you and Qin Muchuan not legally married? Are you cohabitating without a certificate?"

Song Yuyun laughed quietly to herself on the side.

Lin Xiangwan blushed. "Of course we’re not cohabiting. We did get a marriage certificate, but... we didn’t have a ceremony or anything. It still feels like we did it in secret!"

"Ceremonies aren’t that important, what matters is that two people are in love. When we got married, we did it with much fanfare and we were deeply in love, but now?" Lin Xiangwan’s heart tightened as Qiao Junnan came up in the conversation.

Looking at the two young and beautiful women lost in their thoughts, Song Yuyun couldn’t help but voice her jealousy. "You both are rich ladies, only I am not, and perhaps, I may never get a chance to marry into a wealthy family in my entire life!"

There was a hint of sentimentality and helplessness as Song Yuyun spoke.

Shen Hanqian was the first to dismiss her with a sniff. "All you need to do is dump your boyfriend, and your chances will greatly increase. I have no idea what you see in that man!"

She really wanted to insult that man using offensive language, but surely that would upset Song Yuyun!

Lin Xiangwan remained silent. Song Yuyun’s boyfriend was indeed not up to much. Back when they were students, Song Yuyun had to give out money for his tuition and living expenses.

She had now heard that the guy was somehow involved with the bureau chief’s daughter. She knew about it, but since Song Yuyun hadn’t mentioned it, she didn’t know how to bring it up!

Shen Hanqian seemed to have something to say but held back, probably because she also knew something.

Song Yuyun gave a slight smile. "We’ve been dating for quite a while now and there’s a sentimental basis. If we don’t end up together, it would be such as waste!"

"I know, all the rich young men around you are heartbroken!" Shen Hanqian said regretfully.

Song Yuyun was a renowned beauty, and the moment she started working at the bank, she was chased by a big group of rich second-generation and official second-generation elites. The moment she finished work, a row of luxury cars would be waiting for her outside of the bank. To say the least, all of them were handsome men, over 180 cm tall, each holding imported roses and lilies.

In short, the scene was extraordinarily lavish and romantic, yet she chose not to entertain any of them, opting instead to stick with her unsophisticated man who treats her poorly!

She really wanted to advise Song Yuyun, but she didn’t want others to think she was a gold-digger, always obsessively mulling over money!

Song Yuyun saw the pitiful glances her close friends cast her way, but her mind was already made up.

After entering society, she had, indeed, encountered many attractive men who had money, power, and social standing. The aura that these men naturally exuded or amassed through wealth was enough to make any girl swoon. They were irresistible.

And yet, some things were simply outside of her control. She and him had come a long way since their most innocent years. If she were to let go so easily, she thought she would live the rest of her life in regret!

Especially since she herself wasn’t exactly virtuous. She too had been tempted and had been infatuated with Xiao Qingyu. Under his unguarded advances, she had fallen hard.

Wasn’t that already a stain on her life?

So it wasn’t just her fiance who had wronged her, she had also done him wrong!

Lin Xiangwan sank once again into a worried and anguished silence.

Shen Hanqian again reminded her. "What’s the matter with you? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Lin Xiangwan looked at her friend. "I suspect Qin Muchuan has a illegitimate daughter outside!"

"Huh? Isn’t his illegitimate child the two you gave birth to?" Shen Hanqian asked, puzzled.

"No, it’s not my child!" Lin Xiangwan denied, shaking her head in anguish.

Song Yuyun blinked her eyes, took a while to comprehend and finally said, "Xiangwan, you’re saying that someone else, apart from you, also had a child with Qin Muchuan?"

Lin Xiangwan nodded.

Shen Hanqian frowned at her. "Are you certain? Do you have any evidence?"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "I don’t have any substantial evidence, but I have a hunch. I didn’t understand what a sixth sense was before, but I do now and its intuition is potent."

"Who is the mother of the child? Have you seen the woman?" Song Yuyun asked.

Lin Xiangwan looked at Yuyun again and gave a bitter smile. "Zhou Ziqing!"

"What?" Song Yuyun seemed more surprised than Lin Xiangwan was. "Ziqing, how could it be? Her...her...Qin Muchuan?"

Lin Xiangwan reminded her. "Did you forget that Zhou Ziqing mentioned her boyfriend? You already know that she had a very good boyfriend, but they had broken up!"

Song Yuyun seemed particularly shocked as she pointed out. "Are you saying that the very good boyfriend Zhou Ziqing had, was Qin Muchuan?"

"Yes!"

"It’s not really that coincidental, is it? Do you have evidence?" Song Yuyun was quite reluctant to believe this since Ziqing was a very attractive woman.

The fact that Ziqing had a child, and it was Qin Muchuan’s, meant Xiangwan had encountered a formidable opponent.

With children on both ends, what was to be done?

Shen Hanqian calmly said, "Don’t let it get to you just yet. Let’s think about it, let’s think it through! Everything is just speculation at this stage, we don’t have any solid evidence. There’s no need to worry until we’re certain!"

"I’m... a little afraid!" Lin Xiangwan admitted that she felt extraordinarily feeble. "I wasn’t always this afraid to face reality, but this time, I’m genuinely scared!"

"Instead of being a nervous wreck all the time, why don’t we just confirm it once and then, we can think about a solution!" Shen Hanqian suggested.

Song Yuyun also agreed. "That’s the right move!"

Lin Xiangwan looked at her friends and took a deep breath. "Okay, it’s great that you’re both here. You can give me some courage!"

Having said that, Lin Xiangwan pulled out a piece of paper with a telephone number written on it.

Shen Hanqian took a look after snatching it. "Is this the woman who keeps calling him?"
