Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Mom, Actually You’ve Been Lying to Me All Along

Qin Yan’s brain went blank, her heart tightened—no one knew better than she did how things had actually unfolded that night. Bo Yunshen hadn’t laid a finger on her; in fact, if it hadn’t been for him, she might have been beaten to death by that driver in the mountains.

Such malicious news would undoubtedly have a huge impact on Bo Group’s stock prices. Her hand clutching the newspaper slackened unconsciously. Seeing this, Mrs. Yue curled her lips in disdain and spoke contemptuously, "Even if your daughter isn’t a bastard, what difference would it make? With such a scandal, I refuse to believe Yunshen has the time to care about your life or death. Today, I must exact revenge for my son!"

Having said her piece, Mrs. Yue bossily instructed the security guard at the entrance, "Keep a watch on these two; Jin Yang Guang Kindergarten doesn’t welcome children with such poor conduct!"

After finishing her tirade, Mrs. Yue took Mr. Yue’s hand and walked towards the school. Since the man who had appeared at the police station that Friday was indeed Bo Yunshen, it proved that the check was real—how could Qin Yan come up with even a fraction of that amount?

Anyway, since Bo Yunshen couldn’t care less about Qin Yan’s well-being, why shouldn’t she do what pleases her?

Of course, Qin Yan couldn’t afford to worry about what Mrs. Yue was thinking; she subconsciously wanted to call the company to have the PR department clarify things.

But after rummaging through her bag, Qin Yan realized her phone wasn’t there.

Qin Yan pursed her lips, thinking. When she had left the house, she had been putting shoes on Qin Yinyin at the entrance and had absentmindedly set her phone on the shoe rack.

Qin Yan’s fingers threaded through her hair in frustration, squeezing the temples aching from the ordeal. As she looked down, she caught Qin Yinyin’s gaze fixed on the newspaper in her hands.

Her eyes brimmed with tears, her little mouth turned downwards as if she were holding back emotions. When she saw Qin Yan looking, Qin Yinyin’s lips quivered, her voice rough yet choked with sobs, "Mom, did Dad hit you?"

Tears swirled in Qin Yinyin’s eyes before falling unbidden. Clearly, Qin Yinyin couldn’t handle such a sudden blow.

The injury on her head was healing, but the surrounding bruises made Qin Yinyin look even more pitiable.

Her crying made Qin Yan’s heart ache. Squatting down, she began in a soft tone, "No, Yinyin, haven’t I told you? Everything written in the newspapers is made up to deceive people. Daddy never hits women. Of course, he wouldn’t hit Mommy, right?"

Qin Yinyin shook her head, tears spilling from her reddening eyes, "But Dad was the one who brought you back to the big house, and you came back with all those injuries..."

Qin Yinyin hiccupped through her tears, which flowed like a flood, "Mom, you’ve been lying to me all along, haven’t you? Dad doesn’t like Mommy at all, and he doesn’t like Yinyin either."

Qin Yan’s body tensed sharply.

These past three years, she had always told Qin Yinyin that Bo Yunshen loved them, doing all this just to give Qin Yinyin a carefree childhood. She wanted Qin Yinyin’s childhood to be perfect and without regrets.

But...

In this case, she had been failing all along.

Qin Yan’s eyes stung, nearly brought to tears by Qin Yinyin’s crying. The woman fought to hold back, shaking her head, "No, why would Mommy lie to Yinyin? Yinyin, are you really going to believe these made-up stories and hurt Daddy’s and Mommy’s hearts?"

Bo Yunshen’s love had simply come too early and faded too soon, but at the very least, it had truly existed at one time.

She hadn’t lied to Yinyin—at most, she had been deceiving herself.

But this time, no matter how passionately Qin Yan spoke, Qin Yinyin still didn’t believe her.

She cried bitterly, clenching Qin Yan’s clothes tightly with her little hands, sobbing with grievances, "But didn’t mom teach me an idiom ’a rumor without a source’? Many kids at school said... I’m a bastard, and I even heard... teachers talking about it in the restroom."

She paused for a moment, then reached up to rub her tears away with her sleeve.

Qin Yan felt a pain in her heart, so intense that her eyes reddened, and she was unable to speak a word. Even her limbs felt weak and powerless.

Qin Yinyin sniffled and continued, "Dad doesn’t like me at all. Dad also said that Yinyin is a bastard."

This sentence was the final straw that broke Qin Yan’s mental defenses. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, following Qin Yinyin’s, and she reached out to hug Qin Yinyin tightly into her arms, speaking earnestly, "Yinyin, believe mom, you are the baby of mom and dad, Mommy hasn’t lied to you!"

All Qin Yan could think about was how to comfort Qin Yinyin; she hadn’t noticed that Mrs. Yue and Mr. Yue had finished dropping off little fatty and had come out of the school.

Seeing that Qin Yan hadn’t left with Qin Yinyin yet, Mrs. Yue snorted coldly, pulled out her phone, and immediately called the biggest entertainment news agency in Tong City, and said, "Journalist, Bo Yunshen’s wife, Qin Yan, is right now at the gate of Jin Yang Guang Kindergarten on Chong Yang Road. If you want a big headline, come quick, or she’ll be gone soon!"

After finishing her call, Mrs. Yue hung up.

Summoning all the journalists in Tong City should give that wretched woman Qin Yan enough trouble, right? Dare to touch her precious son; this time, she would teach Qin Yan a lesson!

Less than three minutes after Mrs. Yue’s call, a media team hurried over. At that moment, Qin Yan had just managed to soothe Qin Yinyin. She had just straightened up when a microphone was thrust towards her, "Mrs. Bo, may I ask if the rumors about your husband abusing you are true?"

Qin Yan was stunned. Reporters? Why were there reporters at the kindergarten gate?

Bo Group had an entertainment division, so Qin Yan naturally knew not to answer. Instinctively holding onto Qin Yinyin, she tried to leave, but as she moved, several cars suddenly stopped in front of the kindergarten gate.

"Qin Yan! There’s Qin Yan!"

After Mrs. Yue notified the first media outlet, other news agencies received the news one after another and rushed over.

The cars stopped haphazardly at the gate of the kindergarten, which, combined with the peak time for dropping off children at school, led to many puzzled parents and children blocking up the entrance.

Reporters swarmed in.

Bo Group, a company whose decisions could impact countless lives, often saw its head, Bo Yunshen, involved in rumors with starlets and young models, with a popularity comparable to second-tier celebrities!

Bo Yunshen was a public figure, and the rumors of spousal abuse were sensational news.

Getting firsthand information on this could mean the media outlets wouldn’t need to work for the rest of the year.

Thus, every major media outlet was vying to advance, and before they even approached Qin Yan, countless questions were being hurled her way.
