Chapter 661: 668 Misfortune Comes_1

Tongtong looked at her brother helplessly. "What do you expect me to do?"

Ranran was unsure himself; surely they wouldn’t leave their father? "At least we should oppose our dad, we shouldn’t talk to him anymore!"

"..." Tongtong nodded. "Alright!"

Ranran kicked a stone in frustration. "At the very least we have to make dad aware of the crisis. His choice to be with that woman only means he loses mom, but he’s also going to lose us!"

"Yes, you’re right!" Tongtong almost teared up; her tears reflected sadness as well as anger. "We need to get great grandpa and great grandma on our side, make them dislike dad too!"

"Absolutely, let’s make dad lose a ton of people just because of that woman named Zhou!" Ranran asserted determinedly.

When Lin Xiangwan returned home, she found her two kids clinging onto their great grandparents, not even doing their homework.

She wanted to tell them to do their homework first, yet doing so would seem like she’s discouraging them from being close with their great grandparents. Hence, she swallowed her words.

Upon returning to her room, Zhou Ziqing barged into Lin Xiangwan’s room.

"You...." Lin Xiangwan was caught off guard, she was already intruding. "I have nothing to talk to you about, get out!"

Zhou Ziqing shut the door and smiled at Lin Xiangwan. "Lin Xiangwan, do you think you can topple me just by returning to this family and playing one of your tricks?"

Lin Xiangwan was utterly confused. "I’m using tricks? You must be joking. That drug was clearly your doing!"

Zhou Ziqing felt guilty and didn’t want to talk about it any longer. "Lin Xiangwan, let me tell you this, even if the Qin family dislikes me, as long as Qin Muchuan likes me, you can’t do anything to me!"

Lin Xiangwan took a deep breath to hide her pain and looked away. "You’re right, as long as you have won Qin Muchuan’s heart, it’s enough. Thus, there’s no purpose of you standing here, right? I returned just to take care of my children, I hope you can understand this! You don’t need to see me as your enemy!"

"You better not harbor any inappropriate thoughts about Qin Muchuan. This is not a warning, but a friendly reminder so that you don’t end up severely wounded in the future. Plus, you’re not young anymore, you should spend this time meeting other men, and plan for your next steps!"

"Mind your own business!"

"I couldn’t be bothered to. Humph!" Zhou Ziqing left the room triumphantly.

As she opened the door, she saw Qin Muchuan who was about to enter.

Seeing him, Zhou Ziqing wasn’t the slightest bit worried or fearful, she even smiled more seductively. "You’re back!"

Qin Muchuan glanced at her but ignored her.

Zhou Ziqing glared at him before storming off in her high heels.

Lin Xiangwan watched as he entered her room. "Today everyone seems to be rushing into my room, but I don’t feel like I have anything to discuss with you all!"

Qin Muchuan closed the door. "What did she say to you?"

Lin Xiangwan turned her head, staring at him intently. "You look very anxious!"

He laughed. "What do I have to be anxious about!"

"If you aren’t anxious, then why did you ask?" She jeered. "Please leave!"

Zhou Ziqing was already calling him from outside. "Qin Muchuan, I have a question for you. Can you come out for a moment?"

He didn’t move.

She scoffed. "Since she’s calling you, why aren’t you leaving?"

"Take good care of the children!"

After uttering those few words, Qin Muchuan turned to leave.

As the door closed, Lin Xiangwan thought she wouldn’t get angry, but she did, and felt deeply hurt.

Take good care of the children?

He actually had the audacity to say such things!

So he means to say that he has given the kids to me, and he can do whatever he wants?

How could there be such an ideal situation in the world?

Lin Xiangwan swallowed her bitter feeling forcefully, constantly reminding herself in her mind to stay strong, to stop thinking about him...

Zhou Ziqing saw Qin Muchuan come over at her call and leaped joyfully into his arms. "It’s been a long time since you were this obedient, I really like this side of you!"

"Hehe, but I’m not in the mood right now..." Qin Muchuan sounded worried.

Zhou Ziqing, too, was anxious for him. "I heard about the issue your company faced today!"

"Someone dared to smuggle things with my company’s cargo ship, it’s utterly disgusting!" Qin Muchuan loosened his tie but his expression turned even more restless and frustrated.

"Yes, it’s a really troublesome issue...before...I also wanted to smuggle something through you, I had no idea it would become so serious!" Zhou Ziqing confessed.

That afternoon, Huatai’s shipment of cotton from Brazil was found to contain a large amount of rare earth minerals, causing a large portion of the goods to be confiscated by Customs.

The person who seized his goods happened to be his rival.

"Now you understand, huh?" Qin Muchuan gave her a glance.

"I understand, I won’t dare to do it again!" Zhou Ziqing pledged.

"Mmm, you know it wasn’t that I didn’t want to help you before, you saw how things turned out!" Qin Muchuan voiced his frustration. "The new head of Customs is at odds with me, and he’s not going to let this opportunity slip out of his hands easily!"

"What are we going to do?" Zhou Ziqing asked worryingly.

"At worst, I’ll just give up on this batch of goods!" Qin Muchuan said.

"But how will you fulfill your orders then? If you break the contract, won’t you have to pay a huge sum?"

Qin Muchuan held his hands to his temples, looking utterly fatigued. "Let’s not talk about this now, we’ll discuss it tomorrow. I’m feeling very vexed!"

"How can we not consider it? Chuanchuan, if you can’t deliver the goods, you’ll certainly have to pay a penalty. That’s a substantial sum. I heard that your company has also invested in several large projects recently, and some funds have not yet been earmarked. This could result in a huge funding gap for you, and then..."

As Zhou Ziqing had predicted, Qin Muchuan was grilled by the shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting the next day.

Qin Muchuan lost a good deal of trust in the eyes of the major shareholders.

In order to recoup the losses, the company imported cotton from India. The cost of Indian cotton is much higher than that of Brazil. Moreover, the middleman saw Huatai’s situation and took the opportunity to overcharge, causing Huatai to incur substantial losses.

Qin Muchuan repeatedly assured shareholders that he would try his best to recover everyone’s losses, promising that everyone’s dividends at the end of the year would increase rather than decrease. After emphasizing this, they finally managed to temporarily stabilize everyone’s emotions.

Just then, Huatai was hit by another crisis.

One of Huatai’s previous ’national’ projects was suspended due to operating irregularities.

At this time, Huatai had already invested a lot of money in the early stages, and it seemed like another financial loss...
