Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Yunshen Will Not Take His Anger Out on the Child

"So what are you worried about? You can send people away if you’d like, but we had an agreement, the next time my niece causes a scene, don’t come looking for me!"

This time, it was Bo Yunshen’s turn to fall silent.

Gu Jinyan wasn’t wrong—Qin Yan herself didn’t take care of Qin Yinyin, and him finding someone to look after her was already beyond duty. Could it be that he was also expected to take care of her personally?

A white light flickered in the corner; Bo Yunshen glanced over sharply, but apart from the crowd of people in black, there was nothing else.

Gu Jinyan followed his gaze, took a brief look, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Bo Yunshen shook his head, "Nothing."

He looked at the woman in front of him with disgust, feeling overwhelmed.

He casually selected a few women and said, "Go change into clothes more appropriate for playing with a child and come back here!"

...

Hai Wan Xiang Xie.

By the time Lu Yi arrived, Qin Yan was squatting on the steps, her slender figure huddled in her arms, her body occasionally trembling.

Lu Yi’s heart ached at the sight. He reached out to help her up.

"Qin Yan, don’t panic. Tell me, what happened with Yinyin?"

Qin Yan’s eyelashes fluttered. A street lamp overhead cast their silhouettes together, yet there was no hint of intimacy.

She had drunk too much in the afternoon, and even after some sleep, her head was still exceptionally heavy.

She didn’t even know how she ended up at the hotel.

At Lu Yi’s question, she took a deep breath and got straight to the point, "This afternoon, Mr. Bo asked me to accompany Mr. Lin to discuss a contract. I blacked out from drinking, and when I woke up, it was already nine o’clock."

"When I got in the car, I borrowed a phone to call Yinyin’s teacher."

"She said no one was willing to pick Yinyin up, so she left first."

"But when she left, Yinyin was still at the kindergarten gate..."

Lu Yi furrowed his brows, "You came here looking for Yinyin because... you suspect Yunshen took the child?"

Qin Yan nodded, "I can’t find Yunshen, and I can’t reach him on the phone!"

"Lu Yi, Yinyin wouldn’t run off on her own, and with Xiangxiang not in Tong City, besides Yunshen, she wouldn’t go with anyone else!"

Unless... Qin Yinyin had been kidnapped again!

Qin Yan was very anxious. The events of the previous day were still like a nightmare; she couldn’t bear to think about them.

At the slightest possibility, she didn’t want to consider whether something had happened to Yinyin.

"And besides, although Yunshen despises me, he wouldn’t take it out on the child."

"Reluctant as he was, he should take care of her after finding out..."

Even as she spoke, Qin Yan herself didn’t believe her words, but still, she looked at Lu Yi full of hope.

Lu Yi nodded, "You make sense, no news is good news!"

"If it were a kidnapping, the kidnapper would have called by now."

Saying this, he rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment.

"Qin Yan, since nobody’s at Hai Wan Xiang Xie, could Yunshen have taken Yinyin to the old house?"

Qin Yan’s eyebrows twitched.

Concern caused chaos. Qin Yinyin was her daughter, and out of worry, she was unable to think clearly. It was Lu Yi’s comment that reminded her of another possibility.

"Perhaps..."

Qin Yan said uncertainly, last night, Bo Yuanshan had lashed out at Bo Yunshen with a whip. Although Bo Yunshen might not have wanted to go, it was possible that, unwilling to deal with Yinyin, he’d left the child with the Bo family elders!

"Regardless, let’s go over there first and see."

"Let’s go, get in the car!"

Qin Yan wasted no time, pulling open the passenger door and climbing in, buckling up her seat belt. She trembled her eyelashes, "Lu Yi, I’m really sorry to trouble you with this late run."

Lu Yi turned his head and glanced at Qin Yan.

Outside, the interplay of lights cast on Qin Yan’s face, making her appear even more radiant.

"Qin Yan, we are friends—can you please not be so formal with me?"

Qin Yan’s lips twitched into a nod.

She tucked her hair behind her ears, her lips pressed tightly. As the car smoothly drove forward, Qin Yan hesitated, then spoke softly, "Lu Yi, can we call the old house first?"

"Hmm?"

"My parents are old and can’t handle the shock, so..."

"Call first to test the waters, see if Yunshen has gone back. I don’t want to go there for nothing."

Qin Yan’s voice was soft.

But as soon as she finished speaking, the car fell silent, the already cramped interior seemed more so in the quiet.

After a while, Lu Yi smiled, "Okay."

He had just taken out his cellphone from his pocket and hadn’t even unlocked it when it buzzed with a new alert from Tong City news.

#Bo Yunshen spotted with three-year-old daughter in nightclub at midnight!#

He slammed on the brakes suddenly. Due to inertia, Qin Yan’s body lurched forward then slammed back into her seat.

"What happened?"

Lu Yi quickly tapped into the link; the photo was clear, the setting was Night Club, even the private room number was captured.

In it, flashing lights surrounded Bo Yunshen, who was holding Qin Yinyin in his arms, and in front of him stood a bevy of women of varying shapes and looks.

Lu Yi paused, then handed the phone to Qin Yan.

"No need to call now, take a look. Looks like we’ve found Yinyin!"

Lu Yi’s expression was ambiguous; Qin Yan’s heart skipped, as she took the phone.

She looked down at it, her face turning pale and then flushing in turns, sitting in the passenger seat. Though the car was stationary, her body shook violently.

Clearly, she was enraged.

"Yinyin is indeed with Yunshen, now what do you plan to do?"

The report was provocative, claiming Bo Yunshen had brought Qin Yinyin to the nightclub to search for a stepmother for her.

The comments below were even more offensive; Qin Yan carelessly scrolled and caught sight of one or two.

Saying things like how no matter how pretty Qin Yan was, she meant less than a chicken to Bo Yunshen!

And some comments had already attacked Qin Yinyin.

She gripped the phone, her body trembled, and her gaze turned cold.

"Qin Yan, don’t panic just yet, there might be a misunderstanding. Let’s head to the nightclub, get Yinyin out, and then have a good talk with Yunshen."

Saying so, Lu Yi started the car.

The corners of his mouth lifted imperceptibly. Bringing a child to a nightclub, what misunderstanding could there be?

Bo Yunshen always managed to do the unexpected!

In less than five minutes, Qin Yan’s expression had calmed, or rather, there was no hint of disturbance.

"Lu Yi, pull over."

"What’s wrong?"

Heeding her words, Lu Yi stopped the car and turned to look at Qin Yan.

Her demeanor was nonchalant as she reached out to unbuckle her seatbelt.

"Yunshen is the CEO of Bo Group, scandal like this is not good for Bo Group’s development. You’re the director of public relations—go to the company first, try to suppress the news!"
