Chapter 625: Plot 632 2_1

Zhou Ziqing initially kept silent, refusing to give a response.

Seeing that she really had no intention of paying, Xu Feng’e nodded. "Alright, this matter doesn’t necessarily concern me anyways. If you don’t want to bother Lin Xiangwan, I won’t either, acting as a good person for once! What does it have to do with me anyway!"

Zhou Ziqing hastily intervened. "Madam, please, don’t you really wish to help me? If I marry Qin Muchuan, I will certainly urge him to be amiable towards you and Mr. Qin..."

Xu Feng’e sneered inwardly. You persuade? Why should I let you persuade? Can you even step into the Qin Family residence? That remains to be seen!

Besides, I don’t want you to come in.

What would happen to my niece if you came in?

There are always some women in this world who think that a bit of beauty makes it easy to marry into a prestigious family! If marrying into a prestigious family were so easy, wouldn’t everyone be doing it?

Wouldn’t the prestigious families then become overcrowded?

Xu Feng’e glanced at Zhou Ziqing. "Hmm, I do think you are quite kind-hearted and I’m somewhat endeared to you. But, Muchuan’s father and I both live on a fixed income. Although we are in a prestigious family, we do not have much money. I can’t provide you with any financial assistance, right?"

"Yes, Madam, you are correct. But, it is not easy for me to raise a daughter on my own. Twenty thousand is too much to afford. I can give you five thousand, is that okay?" Zhou Ziqing bargained with her.

"Five thousand is simply too little, right? The key issue is that it’s not enough to hire anyone! Let’s make it ten thousand, and no lower!" Xu Feng’e stated.

Zhou Ziqing thought to herself that she couldn’t offend Xu Feng’e at this point, and if she wanted ten thousand, Zhou Ziqing would give it to her. Anyway, the money wouldn’t be coming out of her own pocket.

She nodded. "Alright then, wait a moment and I will get it for you!"

Xu Feng’e was finally able to get her payment as she had wished.

Before this, she had already sought out her boy toy, Ahua, a young man who had previously worked as a private detective. His business was not too brisk, sometimes having work, sometimes not. By a stroke of fate, he had become Xu Feng’e’s sweet little secret.

In order to keep Xu Feng’e, a generous and wealthy woman, wrapped around his finger, he was very obedient.

Then he spent his days keeping an eye on Lin Xiangwan’s place, secretly taking pictures.

Ahua arrived at the hotel as promised, and after mingling with Xu Feng’e, he came back panting and reported. "I still have not obtained any evidence of that woman’s infidelity. She leads a very regular life, working in the shop during the day, and returning to her place at night. There’s no man entering her place!"

Xu Feng’e frowned. "Is she really that upright?"

"Pretty much!"

"There must be an exception!" Xu Feng’e stated.

"Alright, I’ll continue waiting for that exception!" Ahua respectfully agreed.

Xu Feng’e lit a ladies cigarette, smoke billowing from her rosy lips. "Not acceptable, we don’t have enough time. Waiting this way is too draining for you!"

Ahua immediately understood what she meant. "You mean?"

Xu Feng’e nodded. "Yes, if she’s not making a move, we will create some trouble. We must get the evidence of her infidelity in black and white!"

Time passed quickly, and it was once again time to shut up shop.

Lin Xiangwan, feeling embarrassed, turned down a table of customers. At the same time, she handed over some homemade cookies to the children of the families. "I’m sorry for wasting your time!"

The child’s mother seemed to want to say something, but since the owner was so polite and even provided something for the child to eat, she gratefully nodded. "Alright then, we will come early tomorrow."

Lin Xiangwan nodded slightly.

Afterward, the last table of polite customers also left early!

As she was cleaning up the shop, Lin Xiangwan looked at the time out of habit. It was already 7:45 PM, by which time Qin Muchuan should have arrived!

But why hadn’t he shown up today?

At this moment, Qin Muchuan called. "Once you have finished tidying up, hurry home and give me a call when you are home! I have to attend a reception tonight and can’t find time to leave!"

His words slurred slightly, indicating that he had drunk quite a bit.

Lin Xiangwan was both fond and annoyed at his attentive yet overbearing tone. "You better look after yourself. I don’t need your concern!"

After uttering her words, she hung up.

Qin Muchuan at the other end did not continue to press the matter.

Having put down the phone, she felt a sense of sweets– she could even picture him blushing, the whites of his eyes filled with blood, his gaze seemingly murky yet undeniably sharp.

Then, she could almost imagine him smiling at the phone.

In fact, Qin Muchuan had left the private room and gone to the hallway outside to call her.

Upon ending the call, he smiled as well.

A person who appeared to be a leader, who was dining at the same table, came back from the restroom and smiled at him. "Mr. Qin, were you on the phone with your girlfriend?"

Qin Muchuan managed a cheeky smile. "Not my girlfriend, but my wife!"

The man was clearly taken aback. "Your wife? You are married?"

Qin Muchuan smiled again. "Our child is already quite big and is sharper than an adult!"

"Envious, so envious! I can’t help but be jealous. Not only do you manage your business well, but you also have a happy family!"

Qin Muchuan laughed modestly. "Hmm!"

Just as Lin Xiangwan was about to leave after pulling down the shutter door, she received a call from Ji Sen. "Want to come to the bar?"

"Hmm, it’s been a few days since we’ve seen each other, I miss you!"

From the way Ji Sen was speaking, he sounded drunk and quite sad which caused Lin Xiangwan to worry. "What happened?"

"Nothing, just come over and have a couple of drinks with me!"

If it were any other time, Lin Xiangwan would certainly retort. "So if you ask me to drink, I should just drink? Why should I listen to you?"

But now he truly seemed distraught and she couldn’t bear to ignore him!

"Alright, I’m on my way!"

Lin Xiangwan started her car.

A black Volkswagen was tailing right behind her.

Because this car was too common, Lin Xiangwan did not pay much attention to it.

As she entered the bar, the person in the black Volkswagen also followed her in!

Upon her entrance, the bartender pointed her in the right direction.

She quickly found Ji Sen.

Ji Sen was cradling a bottle of booze, a strong smell of alcohol emitting from his body. "What happened to you? Did you get dumped?"

"..." He spoke.

Lin Xiangwan snatched his bottle. "Why don’t you say something, what exactly happened?"

"..." He still kept his mouth shut.

Ji Sen swayed and fell back onto the chair.

Ji Sen had always boasted a high alcohol tolerance, he wouldn’t have been this drunk unless something was really bothering him!

"What happened? If you don’t tell me, I am leaving!"

"Sis, I think I found my mom!" Ji Sen communicated with an air of heavy sorrow.

Lin Xiangwan was taken aback, feeling a mix of surprise, joy, envy and... resentment. "How did you find her!"

Ji Sen gave a hollow laugh. "Hehe... it’s not really that I found her. She found me instead, borrowing money from me to pay off her gambling debts!"
