The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 283: Chapter 283 Qin Yan’s Heart Ached Faintly

Qin Yan left the CEO’s office and went straight to the Public Relations department.

The Public Relations department was in a meeting, discussing how to clarify this scandal, but despite the many people present, not a single one could formulate a plan.

Qin Yan pushed the door open and walked straight in.

"Grab a few instigators online and send them lawyer’s notices! And sue that paternity testing agency too!"

"Mr. Bo should have someone look for the owner of that paternity testing agency by now..."

The Public Relations staff looked at each other, at a loss for words.

"Mr. Qin, they’ve even dug out which brands of underwear you and Mr. Bo wear online!"

"Your separation, if it ferments online, will only make things worse. The urgency is that you two should live together!"

Qin Yan was silent.

"Mr. Qin, which man doesn’t stray? If Mr. Bo has his dalliances, that’s seen as debonair, but it’s different for women. The same actions would brand a woman as unchaste or promiscuous!"

"You and Mr. Bo are causing such a commotion, just casually giving out an order is fine, but we’re the ones who have to hustle!"

Qin Yan took a deep breath.

For half a month, one big event after another had occurred, and the Public Relations department couldn’t handle it!

Qin Yan’s expression was light, and even though people’s words were unpleasant, her face remained calm, without making waves.

Qin Yan’s lips moved slightly, "I’m going to take care of some personal matters first. Wait for me to get back, then we can discuss viable clarification strategies together!"

With the company in chaos, Qin Yan had things to do, and Xiao Shen was very busy too, no one could take care of Qin Yinyin, so she had no choice but to ask Lu Xiangxiang to take a leave and come to the company to pick up Qin Yinyin.

Leaving the Public Relations department, Qin Yan returned to the Marketing department.

Qin Yinyin had been well-behaved and hadn’t caused Xiao Shen much trouble, she hadn’t even touched the snacks Xiao Shen had prepared for her.

As soon as Qin Yan appeared, Qin Yinyin’s eyes lit up.

"Mama."

Qin Yan nodded; the atmosphere quieted down, and that nearly suffocating feeling wrapped around her. Qin Yan sat down, poured herself a glass of water, and only then did she pull out her phone from her pocket.

Before she had even returned to the company, Qin Yan’s phone had run out of battery. After charging it and turning it on, a call from Lu Xiangxiang came first.

Qin Yan answered; Lu Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yanyan, what’s going on with the situation online? Did Bo Yunshen go do a paternity test for Yinyin?"

Qin Yan responded, "Xiangxiang, with such an incident occurring, Yinyin can’t go to school for now. She can’t stay at the company either; I’m afraid she might hear something she shouldn’t..."

Lu Xiangxiang paused, then said, "Yanyan, I’ve already mentioned it to Mr. Feng; she can stay with me at the company!"

"Yanyan, Feng Chen only has me as his secretary, the secretary’s office is very spacious. You can bring Yinyin straight over."

Qin Yan licked her lips, then said, "Alright, I’m coming over now!"

The office had candy; Qin Yan picked up a piece, tore off the wrapping, and stuffed it into her mouth.

There wasn’t time to eat properly; small snacks were the only way to boost her energy now.

Qin Yan stood straight, walked up to Qin Yinyin, and said, "Yinyin, Mama is a bit busy today, is it okay for you to stay with Aunt Xiangxiang for a while?"

Qin Yinyin looked up, her eyes misty like dark grapes; she looked at Qin Yan, her voice choked, asking,

"Mama, is it because of Yinyin?"

Qin Yan was taken aback, her voice gentle, "Why would you ask that?"

"Today, when Daddy took me away from school, some uncles and aunties asked Daddy if he had known all along that Yinyin wasn’t Daddy’s child."

A tear glistened in Qin Yinyin’s eyes.

"Mama, why does everyone say that I am not Daddy’s child?"

"Last time the bearded guy also said Dad isn’t my dad, that Mom lied to Yinyin..."

Qin Yinyin’s tears streamed down, her voice choked up severely, as if her throat were stuffed with cotton, soft and faint:

"Mom, didn’t you say you wouldn’t lie to Yinyin?"

Qin Yan’s heart ached faintly.

That wrenching pain seemed to split her heart, as if the next second it could tear her entire person in half.

Qin Yan’s eyes suddenly reddened as she reached out to stroke Qin Yinyin’s head, whispering comfortingly, "Yinyin, don’t cry, Mommy won’t lie to you."

"After a few days, I’ll ask Daddy to take a break from work, to spend some quality time with Yinyin, okay?"

Qin Yinyin nodded, "Can we go to the amusement park again?"

Qin Yan promised, "Whatever Yinyin wants, we can go to the amusement park and McDonald’s."

As she spoke, Qin Yan reached out to tidy Qin Yinyin’s slightly disheveled dress: "Yinyin, now stay with Aunt Xiangxiang, okay?"

Qin Yinyin nodded, and Qin Yan reached out to pick her up.

She extended her plump little hands, touching Qin Yan’s injured face:

"Mommy, did those uncles and aunties outside hurt your face?"

Qin Yan paused, and Qin Yinyin added, "They are scary, Yinyin doesn’t like them!"

Qin Yan was at a loss for words.

These entertainment reporters now are overly zealous about scooping stories; once they find someone, they don’t care about a person’s age, let alone a child’s feelings.

Having handed Yinyin over to Lu Xiang, Qin Yan left the Feng Group building. No external vehicles could enter the Feng Group’s parking lot, so the car Qin Yan borrowed from a colleague was parked on the side of the Feng Group.

She walked towards the car in her high heels but was stopped halfway there by journalists.

Qin Yan’s eyelids twitched, as reporters’ questions bombarded her again: "Miss Qin, who exactly is your daughter’s biological father?"

"No matter who it is, he’s a scumbag! Adulteress!"

A piercing scream suddenly came from the crowd, and Qin Yan felt a shadow approach; she instinctively dodged, and where she had been standing, smoke rose, and the ground was corroded with a hole.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Qin Yan’s body.

...

Bo Group.

Xu Lin received a call from the police station and hurried straight to the CEO’s office; he was so anxious he didn’t even knock.

The office was in disarray, Bo Yunshen’s tall figure slouched in his chair, his facial expression unclear, ominously gloomy.

Food and porridge were mixed together, the smell was pungent; Bo Yunshen hadn’t left the office all morning, and his obsession with cleanliness was such that he’d usually never tolerate such a mess...

Xu Lin inhaled deeply, not caring about anything else, he moved a bit closer and said, "Mr. Bo, Mr. Qin was splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid downstairs at Feng Group..."

Bo Yunshen’s eyes suddenly snapped open, "What did you say?"

Xu Lin pursed his lips, then continued, "Mr. Bo, Mr. Qin is now at the police station; she’s considered a victim, and the station has asked for relatives to come claim her..."

Relatives?

Now, what relatives could Qin Yan have?

Aside from Bo Yunshen, the only person related to her was Qin Yinyin.

Bo Yunshen left the office immediately, moving swiftly and, just before exiting the room, he turned back to pick up a phone from the floor that was almost unrecognizable.

Then, the tall figure of the man vanished at the doorway.
