Chapter 712: 718 Is Mr. Qin busy? Please make an appointment in advance_1

Upon hearing such sensitive words coming out of the mouth of a child, Lin Xiangwan felt an instant headache and a sense of awkwardness.

"Hey, this matter has nothing to do with you kids, and it’s not a good thing, so don’t blab about it outside!"

Tongtong put down her homework and asked curiously, "What does Granny Zhou steal from grandpa? Why did it cause such a stir? And when my classmates’ mothers talk about this, they seem very interested as if... I can’t pinpoint exactly what they’re thinking, but they seem to find it quite amusing, entertaining, and..."

The child didn’t understand, but an adult certainly would.

Isn’t it just a mix of disdain and envy? Every woman surely envies it, no matter how repulsed they claim to be, deep down they yearn for it!

These people are really something, discussing such things.

At least when they do, they shouldn’t do so in front of the children!

"What adults think isn’t your concern, have you finished your homework? Is all your schoolwork done? Don’t forget, you’ve got end-of-term exams coming up!"

Tongtong gave a playful grin, "Mum, even if you don’t say it, I know what they’re talking about!"

Lin Xiangwan’s face tightened further, looking exceptionally unpleasant. "What do you know?"

"Hmm..." Tongtong giggled. "My understanding is that Granny Zhou is in love with grandpa, isn’t it? She no longer likes dad!"

In love?

Only a child could interpret it with such a romantic notion, but this was a rather good interpretation. "Perhaps!"

"Great, let that woman continue to fancy grandpa!" Tongtong exclaimed happily.

Ranran bit her pencil and gave her sister a wink after coming up with an idea.

Tongtong got the hint and quietly returned to her homework.

Seeing the two kids focused on their studies, Lin Xiangwan sighed with relief. She pointed outside, "Mum’s going out for a while, you guys keep quiet and continue studying, understand?"

Ranran formed a salute that they learned in the Scouts and responded clearly, "Of course, Mum, I understand what you mean, just treat home as a school, regard doing homework as self-study in school, right?"

"Yep!"

As Lin Xiangwan stepped out, Liu the maid gave her a cheerful glance.

Lin Xiangwan held up a finger, indicating Liu to remain silent.

Liu nodded.

Despite their secret movements, Qin Muchuan caught sight of them.

He glared at her intensely.

Lin Xiangwan took note of his cold gaze and returned it defiantly, lifting her chin in provocation. "What, do you have something to say?"

Qin Muchuan frowned deeply, quite unhappy. "Come to my study, I have something to discuss with you!"

Oh, where did he get the audacity to boss her around?

"Sorry, I don’t have time now. If you have something to say, please talk to my secretary..." She paused here, where on earth did she have a secretary?

She then glanced at Liu. "If you have anything, make an appointment with Liu!"

Qin Muchuan stared at her, his frown deepening. "Liu is your secretary!"

"Temporarily, I guess!" Lin Xiangwan replied ambiguously.

"If I’m not mistaken, Liu is employed by me, and is not paid by you!" Qin Muchuan retorted.

"Well..." Lin Xiangwan was unsure how to explain.

Liu stepped in bravely. "Young Master, I voluntarily serve the young mistress. Even if I’m not paid, that’s okay!"

"Oh, so you’re shirking your duties while working for me!" Qin Muchuan accused.

Liu appeared flustered. "Even if I work here every day, I still have off-duty hours, right? I can use my rest time."

"Oh..." he raised his voice questioningly.

Lin Xiangwan nodded affirmatively. "There’s no doubt about this. If you check the labor law, no one can work twenty-four hours a day. Everyone has rest time. If you have doubts about this, or you don’t follow this, then you are a law violator..."

Qin Muchuan nodded. "Alright, what you’re saying makes some sense!"

"Mmmhmm!"

Qin Muchuan took a deep breath. "Could Miss Lin spare some time from her hectic schedule to come to my study for a chat?"

Lin Xiangwan’s smile remained. "Since you’re so polite, alright then, I can spare some time to hear your valuable opinions!"

She followed him into his study.

Qin Muchuan closed the door and gestured to a spot on the couch. "Sit!"

Without needing his directive, she had already picked the most comfortable spot and nestled into the sofa.

"Alright, speak up quickly, my time is limited!"

"Did you cause all this?" Qin Muchuan asked coldly with a hint of accusation.

This woman was somewhat infuriating. He had recently gained Zhou Ziqing’s trust. It was the perfect time for them to get closer, and then... find an opportunity to take them both down.

How could news of Zhou Ziqing having an affair with someone else arise at this point?

Given the current situation, he needed to punish Zhou Ziqing, if he liked her, he couldn’t be indifferent to her having an affair.

The longer this cold period lasted, the further they were from completing the mission, weren’t they?

Lin Xiangwan’s eyebrows knitted intensely. "What, what, what are you saying? I caused all this? You’re implying that your father and Zhou Ziqing’s affair is a result of my meddling? Did I push them into bed together?"

Qin Muchuan pointed towards the journalists outside. "I’m saying – you tipped off the journalists, didn’t you?"

"I have not!" Lin Xianwan denied.

"Don’t think I don’t know you gave the photos to the journalist, and that you hired someone to follow them!" Qin Muchuan insisted confidently.

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan admitted honestly. "Since you already know, I have nothing to hide. Alright, it was me, I did everything. But, if there was nothing going on between them, I wouldn’t have any clues to provide!"

Qin Muchuan, furious, stared at her smug face, suddenly gripping her pale neck tightly.

"Uh..." Lin Xiangwan reacted with fear.

Qin Muchuan squeezed harder, Lin Xiangwan distinctly feeling her breath become labored.

Her breaths were increasingly shallow. "You...you...let go of me!"

Qin Muchuan didn’t let go, he continued to apply pressure.

"Cough, cough...let...go..." She was in so much discomfort that her eyes rolled back into her head.

Only then did Qin Muchuan release her. "How does it feel, comfortable?"

"Cough, cough, were you trying to choke me to death?"
