Chapter 457: 462 Quick maliciousness_1

Xu Feng’e stormed back to her room in a huff, her long-serving maid following in her wake.

"Madam, don’t be upset, it’s not worth arguing with that girl!" urged the maid.

Xu Feng’e was so livid that her chest heaved. "If I can’t even deal with that kid, what’s the point in living?"

"..." The maid took a step back.

Xu Feng’e paced around her room, filled with an intense feeling of injustice and frustration. "Even though I’ve been a part of the Qin Family for so many years, those two old hags have never treated me like a daughter-in-law, never saw me as part of the family. That girl has been with Qin Muchuan for only a few days, and she is already stepping on my head? I’ve contributed to and suffered for this family for years! Why would they treat me this way?"

Xu Feng’e felt incredibly upset. Although she had been the mistress, she had still borne children for the Qin Family. Why won’t the old duo regard her seriously?

She hadn’t felt this upset before because there was no comparison.

But with this woman here now, she was consumed by jealousy.

"Perhaps they just don’t express their feelings well? Maybe they can’t be too nice to you in Muchuan’s presence. Madam, you really shouldn’t overthink things," the maid hastily tried to console her.

"No... to tell the truth, they treat me poorly even when Muchuan’s not around," said Xu Feng’e, sounding thoroughly disheartened.

"Madam, you really should try not to be too upset. No matter how others treat you, you should know that taking care of yourself is what matters most," said the maid.

"That’s not enough!" Xu Feng’e shook her head, grabbed a pillow on the bed and flung it to the ground. "I must reclaim what should’ve been mine!"

".." The maid stepped back again.

In her jealousy-flamed eyes, a glint of cunning and malice flickered quickly.

Does everybody dislike you, Lin Xiangwan?

I will find a way to make everyone hate you!

Xu Feng’e vowed to herself silently.

.........

’Ring... ring...’ the traditional Apple ringing tone rang out, drawing the attention of the four people at the Mahjong table.

Looking at her own blank screen, Grandma Qin laughed sarcastically, "The people I care about and the people who care about me are all here, it can’t possibly be mine!"

Grandpa Qin also laughed. "That’s true!"

Grandma Qin raised her eyebrows and shot a look at the old man. "I’m right in front of you, why are you looking at your phone? Are you hiding someone from me?"

Grandpa Qin knitted his brows, too lazy to argue with his old partner. "You are acting so jealous at this age!"

Grandma Qin curled her lips, her eyes and eyebrows all revealing her happiness and joy.

There’s no doubt that Grandpa Qin was the happiest man. The boss had been suffering from an illness causing him to forget recent events, but that problem was solved now.

It was truly unbelievable. Though he still can’t recall some parts, it doesn’t matter anymore!

Lin Xiangwan also glanced at her phone, but unfortunately.

Qin Muchuan picked up his phone and walked away for some privacy as he answered, "Hello!"

"Lan Ying, how is your surveillance on Zhou Ziqing going, is she working with Autumn Mouse?" The leader of the anti-drug squad called to ask.

Qin Muchuan answered with a cold expression. "I’m sorry, I’m not sure yet."

"What, how can you not be sure? What have you been doing all this time? Shouldn’t you be getting closer to them?" The leader spoke with a hint of a reproach.

Qin Muchuan walked outside, speaking softly. "But I’m currently spending time with my family!"

"Can that be used as an excuse?"

"I’m sorry!"

"Lan Ying, I’m a bit disappointed in you this time. You should know what’s more important. If Hong Lang manages to open the Z country market, do you know how serious that would be? They’re interested not only in money but they’ll also transport weapons. You should be aware of how complicated the situation is now. If some organizations get their hands on these weapons, it’ll be unthinkable!" said the leader, sounding extremely worried.

"Yes!"

"So, you should keep an eye on Zhou Ziqing for some time. Once you confirm she’s not an accomplice, you should protect her, understand?"

"Yes!"

Qin Muchuan accepted the order from his superior without showing any emotions.

By the time he reentered the hall, Lin Xiangwan instantly sensed that he was upset. "What’s wrong?"

Qin Muchuan smiled. "I have some business to handle!"

"Oh, won’t you be eating dinner at home then?"

"That’s correct!" He gave her a comforting shoulder rub. "Take good care of grandparents and the kids in my absence!"

"Okay!" She had missed him all day, and they had hardly spoken and he was already heading out. Lin Xiangwan’s mood instantly plunged.

Qin Muchuan planted a kiss on her face. "Hmm, be good."

"I’ll wait for you to come back!"

She described him as far as the front gate, watching as he drove off in his limited-edition business car.

.........

As soon as Qin Muchuan exited the residential area, he called Zhou Ziqing.

Zhou Ziqing quickly picked up. "Hello!"

"It’s me!" said Qin Muchuan in a low voice.

"Muchuan, have you missed me?"

"Can I meet you now?" asked Qin Muchuan.

"Now?" Zhou Ziqing sounded clearly taken aback.

"Yes!" Qin Muchuan nodded.

"At this time..."

"Is it inconvenient?" asked Qin Muchuan.

"He’s out, but I don’t know when he’ll be back. I’m home with the child and I can’t leave them alone," Zhou Ziqing explained.

"Then..."

"Why don’t you come over?" Zhou Ziqing suggested quietly. "We’ll be careful!"

"Okay..." Qin Muchuan conceded quietly.

He ended the call, his face betraying his discomfort. This was not his game.

But he had to do it because this was his assignment.

Almost the second he knocked on the door, Zhou Ziqing swung it open, eager to see him.

Qin Muchuan quickly sidestepped inside, Zhou Ziqing hurriedly closed the door. "Muchuan, I’ve missed you so much!"

She suddenly hugged him.

"Hmm, I’ve missed you too!" Qin Muchuan stood motionless, allowing her to hold him.

"Muchuan, should I break up with him? I promise to be discreet and no one will find out, okay?" Zhou Ziqing pleaded.

"No!" was Qin Muchuan’s resolute rejection.

Zhou Ziqing looked up; her eyes were full of longing and doubt. "Why not?"

"It’s just not right!" Qin Muchuan didn’t know what to say.

As tears began to fall from Zhou Ziqing’s eyes, she said, "Is it because you don’t want a long-term relationship with me, so you don’t want to ruin me?"

"..." Qin Muchuan’s cheeks tightened, he wanted to say yes but knew he shouldn’t.
