Chapter 726: The Most Pitiful Abandoned Woman_1

Qin Muchuan and Xiao Qingyao’s car had just merged into traffic when Zhou Ziqing’s call came through.

Qin Muchuan made a ’hush’ gesture to his friend, and Xiao Qingyao nodded.

"Hello, Ziqing, I was just about to call you. Any news on the matter I mentioned?" Qin Muchuan’s voice was urgent, antsy to seal the deal.

Zhou Ziqing was thrilled, precisely what she wanted - Qin Muchuan showing interest, even if it was likely not out of love for her, but rather for the potential gain. And what of it?

As long as she could retain a man of his stature, that was all that mattered.

"Hehe..." Zhou Ziqing chuckled, asking smugly, "Qin Muchuan, have you been waiting for my call?"

After a brief pause, Qin Muchuan calmly replied, "Yes!"

Zhou Ziqing spared him further torment, announcing promptly, "The deal is sealed. My friend agrees to give you a profit of 20 million!"

A faint smile crept onto Qin Muchuan’s face. "Great, thank you!"

"Oh, you don’t need to thank me!" Zhou Ziqing’s voice softened. "How about we have dinner together tonight, out somewhere, sounds good?"

"Hmm, didn’t you say you preferred homecooked meals, why go out?" Qin Muchuan queried.

"Well, of course, it’s because I want to... enjoy some alone time with you. I don’t want to see you surrounded by people every time we meet, it dilutes the feeling, wouldn’t you agree?" Pushed Zhou Ziqing back.

"You’re right!" Qin Muchuan agreed composedly. "So, where are you? I’ll come pick you up in a bit, and we can find a restaurant for a good meal."

"It’s not about eating, it’s about enjoying some alone time!" Xiangwan emphasized once more.

"Hmm!" Qin Muchuan chuckled. "My mistake, it indeed is for the enjoyment of our alone time!"

Zhou Ziqing gave him her address, and he repeated it.

After the call, Xiao Qingyao emphasized, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you, keep your interactions with Zhou Ziqing innocent, don’t do anything that would wrong Lin Xiangwan!"

Qin Muchuan shot him a glance. "Did you really need to say that?"

"Hehe, I’m just trying to protect our colleagues’ families!" Xiao Qingyao chuckled.

"Enough with the chatter, take me back to the office. I’ll drive to pick her up!"

Xiao Qingyao assumed the driver’s role, but he was far from a good one, zooming at breakneck speeds, undoubtedly breaching speed limits!

An hour later, Qin Muchuan found Zhou Ziqing, and they went to dinner together.

With fame came controversy, especially regarding the love life of a wealthy boss like Qin Muchuan. It was the focus of many journalists, all of whom had been lying in wait and managed to snap a copious amount of pictures.

Even if Lin Xiangwan didn’t want to see news about Qin Muchuan, her phone’s news feed was incessantly pushing his updates, with particularly sensational headlines - ’Wealthy Love Affair, Chairman of Huatai Group, Mr. Qin Muchuan, seen dining with a beautiful lady’.

The news was quickly updated, confirming the lady to be Qin Muchuan’s first love and ex-girlfriend, who now resided in the Qin family’s mansion.

Not an hour later, another wave of news appeared on the phone screen. Turns out, Qin Muchuan had a wife, and two children, but he resolutely left his unseen marriage because he was infatuated with his ex-girlfriend!

Lin Xiangwan, reading this news, was in tears, but she managed to stifle her sobs. She hastily wiped away the tears and continued with her work, washing vegetables.

To avoid idle thoughts, she worked continuously, incessantly.

Initially, she was receiving payments at the counter when everyone noticed her teary eyes. To avoid attention, she retreated to the back to wash vegetables.

The two workers in the back were concerned about her. "Boss, you should go back and rest. We don’t need your help here!"

"Yeah, the space in the back is limited, and your presence here is hindering our work!"

Lin Xiangwan remained oblivious.

The two workers exchanged a look and continued, "And also, you’re washing an awful lot of vegetables. We won’t be able to use all of these today; it’s a waste. This will increase the cost!"

Only then did Lin Xiangwan stop. Wiping away her tears, she said, "Oh, I see. After washing these crown daisies, I’ll stop."

"Phew..."

The workers finally breathed a sigh of relief - if she kept this up, what would become of them?

After the supper rush hour, it was time to close for the day.

Once the other employees had left, Xuexue stayed behind with Lin Xiangwan. "Sis, stop crying, it’s not like you. You’re not this weak!"

Having held it together the entire day, she was unable to control herself anymore and burst into uncontrollable sobs. "I truly didn’t expect that he would opt for that woman over me; I don’t understand her appeal. If he fell for someone superior or more competent than me, I’d understand!"

"Sis, if he’s that blind, it means he’s either blind or brainless. Don’t be sad, him being with that cheap woman makes them perfect for each other! You should be happy, being divorced allows you more options, you can meet other men!"

Xiangwan sniffled, "But I don’t want to meet other men, I only want him... I only want him..."

She knew she sounded helpless, but she had just discovered last night how deeply in love she was with him, something she had never realized before!

"Sigh..." Xuexue gave a deep sigh before coming up with an idea. "Sis, how about this, let me teach that woman a lesson, beat her up so she realizes how tough we are and stays away from your man?"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head, crying even harder. "I don’t want to hold on to a man out of desperation, what’s the point in that?"

"Then you can try ******** him, dress up beautifully, and appear in front of him?"

Still sobbing, she said, "But I’ve always tried my best to look good in front of him for fear that he might not find me attractive. I even feel like dressing up too much has deprived him of any surprise, leaving me with nothing to further entice him with..."

Thinking about this, she became even more upset.

She felt as if she had no room for improvement!

"Sigh, so you are indeed going to lose him completely!" Xuexue concluded.
