Chapter 301: 301. Qin Yan and Mrs. Jin’s Relationship (23 updates)

"Enxi, look into this woman, Qin Yan, the more detail, the better," Shen Qinglan instructed Jin Enxi.

Jin Enxi was startled, "Why did you suddenly think of looking her up?"

"I’ve always felt this woman was strange," Shen Qinglan said. Upon reflection, all the turmoil seemed to have started with her appearance, but could it really be this woman?

Qin Yan, who exactly are you?

"An, you don’t think this Qin Yan could be Mrs. Jin, do you?" Jin Enxi suddenly uttered, her eyes wide with alarm.

Shen Qinglan gave her a faint glance, "It’s not impossible."

Originally, Ya Xi had been taken away by King’s men because of a phone call. If that call was made by Qin Yan, then everything would make sense.

But could it be so? Could Qin Yan really be the mastermind?

If Qin Yan was Mrs. Jin... Shen Qinglan’s eyes were icy cold.

After meeting Ya Xi, Qin Yan had returned to China.

"Madam, someone is investigating your information," the man said over the phone, his voice hoarse and aged.

Qin Yan’s expression unaltered, reclining lazily on the couch, "Who?"

"We don’t know yet, they seem to want to know about your relationship with Mrs. Jin."

"I understand. I don’t want them to find out, you know what to do, right?"

"Yes, madam, rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, a smile flickered in Qin Yan’s eyes, Praise indeed for Allen’s personally trained top man, always one step ahead; she had not even done anything yet, and they had already suspected her. This game was becoming even more enjoyable.

Shen Qinglan, you better not disappoint me.

Three days later, Jin Enxi placed a document in front of Shen Qinglan, "An, Mrs. Jin has indeed appeared recently, just yesterday. And at that time, Qin Yan was in Nancheng. Could we have been mistaken?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan’s expression shifted slightly. He picked up the document from the desk and glanced at it. It contained a photo of a woman seen from the back, wearing a black coat, unrecognizable.

"This person in the photo is said to be Mrs. Jin," Jin Enxi remarked, a photo she had gone to great lengths to obtain.

Shen Qinglan frowned at the photo, "Enxi, don’t you find it strange? We’ve been investigating this Mrs. Jin for so long without a whisper of information, and now that we are investigating Qin Yan, this Mrs. Jin just appears."

That was indeed the case. Jin Enxi’s eyes turned cold, "An, are you suggesting that the woman in this photo isn’t Mrs. Jin at all, but someone deliberately trying to confuse us?"

"We can’t rule out that possibility, but perhaps it’s just a coincidence."

"I understand. I’ll keep an eye on Mrs. Jin and Qin Yan. If Mrs. Jin really is Qin Yan, well..." Jin Enxi said calmly, but it sounded almost grudging.

Beijing, the Fang Family residence.

"You two are getting married?" Fu Fanghua looked at her daughter and Li Bo Ming, incredulous.

Fang Tong nodded, "Mum, we’ve decided to get married."

Fu Fanghua pressed her hand to her forehead, "This news is a bit sudden; give me a moment to digest." After a while, she turned to Li Bo Ming, "Bo Ming, were you serious about what you said earlier?"

Li Bo Ming smiled, "Auntie, how could we joke about something like this? Both Tongtong and I are serious."

Fang Tong also added, "Mom, haven’t you always hoped that Bo Ming and I would be together? Are you having second thoughts now?"

"It’s not that I’m unwilling, it’s just that this news is so sudden. Have you told your father?"

"I called him last night. He said he would come over today to discuss it with you and Uncle," Li Bo Ming replied.

Fu Fanghua hadn’t expected them to genuinely marry so suddenly, though she was happy to see it; but now, she hesitated.

Li Bo Ming was a bit anxious in his heart, but he knew he had to give Fu Fanghua time to digest the news.

"Tongtong, come into the room with me for a minute; I have something to ask you," Fu Fanghua said, standing up and walking into her room.

Fang Tong gave Li Bo Ming a reassuring look and followed her mother.

"Mum."

"Tongtong, are you pregnant? Is that why..." Fu Fanghua looked at her daughter’s stomach, hesitating.

Hearing this, Fang Tong was first taken aback, then she couldn’t help but laugh, "Mum, what are you thinking? There’s nothing like that." She and Li Bo Ming had been together for a while, but they hadn’t taken that final step.

"Why do you suddenly want to marry Bo Ming?"

"It’s not really sudden. We’ve been together for three months, and we’ve known each other since childhood. I really understand his personality, and I think he’s a man who makes me feel very secure. Since I’ll have to marry sooner or later, isn’t it better to do it early?"

Fang Tong said, most importantly, she wanted to have a home, someone to love and care for her, someone to look after her when she’s sick or ask if she’s cold, instead of facing a cold house alone.

During her time studying abroad, Fang Tong had realized the importance of a home for a person. She had never been a career woman. What she always wanted was just a warm home and a man with whom she could feel safe being the little woman.

"If you really like Bo Ming and want to marry him, then Daddy and I naturally would be happy.

Fu Fanghua said Bo Ming was a young man they had always favored, and they had seen his affection for Fang Tong.

"Mom, I knew you wouldn’t object," Fang Tong smiled.

"I will talk to your dad when he gets back. Did Bo Ming just say that Uncle Li has arrived?"

"Yeah, Uncle Li is on the way. By my estimation, he should be arriving soon."

***********

Shen Qinglan and Yu Xiaoxuan learned about Fang Tong’s marriage from her Weibo. Yu Xiaoxuan immediately called Fang Tong.

"I was just thinking about telling you guys, and your call came just in time. I’m free this afternoon, let’s hang out." Yu Xiaoxuan had no objection, as she was at home resting today. She contacted Shen Qinglan, and the three of them agreed to meet at a café.

"Fang Tong, when did this happen? Why are you suddenly getting married?" As soon as she saw Fang Tong, Yu Xiaoxuan couldn’t wait to ask.

Fang Tong was speechless, "What do you mean ’suddenly’? You knew I was dating Li Bomming. Now that the time is right, we’re getting married. Isn’t that a natural progression?"

"I thought you guys would date for three or five years before getting married. I didn’t expect you to get married just after three months."

Fang Tong couldn’t help rolling her eyes, "Three to five years? You think I’m like you? How long you’ve dated has nothing to do with getting married."

Shen Qinglan agreed with this. She looked at Fang Tong, "It’s fine as long as you’ve thought it through. Getting married sooner is not a bad thing, but you’re still studying abroad. I remember you’re supposed to stay at the overseas branch for two years after your studies. Have you discussed this with Li Bo Ming?"

"We’ve already discussed it. After we get married, everything will remain the same. I’ll study and work abroad, and if I have time, I’ll come back; if not, he’ll come to see me. Two years will pass quickly." Fang Tong said. Initially, she was ready to quit her job, but Li Bo Ming said it was an opportunity she fought for and had worked hard for so long, so she shouldn’t give it up easily.

"If it doesn’t work out, I can talk to my brother about letting you come back early," Shen Qinglan suggested.

Fang Tong waved her hand, "No need, I can’t always rely on you. But if I really can’t handle it anymore, I won’t be polite to you, and I’ll definitely cling to your thick thighs."

"Ah, all of you are getting married or becoming mothers, just leaving me behind," Yu Xiaoxuan lamented, leaning on the table.

"If you want to get married, that’s just a minute’s work. Han Yi has been looking at you all this while," Fang Tong teased her.

Yu Xiaoxuan’s skin had thickened by now, and facing Fang Tong’s teasing, she was unfazed, "Let him wait."

Fang Tong and Shen Qinglan exchanged glances. Something about her tone didn’t seem right; it seemed kind of murderous.

"Did Han Yi make you angry?" Fang Tong asked her.

Yu Xiaoxuan was surprised, "How did you know?"

"Your resentment is almost palpable. It’s not just me who can tell. Ask Qinglan, she sees it too."

Yu Xiaoxuan sighed, jokingly saying, "Being too smart is not good. It’s better to be a bit dumb and cute."

Fang Tong chuckled, "You’re talking about yourself, right? What exactly happened? What made you angry with Han Yi again?"

"What do you mean ’again’?" Yu Xiaoxuan was dissatisfied, "It sounds like I am unreasonable. This time it’s definitely not my fault. It was that bastard Han Yi’s fault. He got drunk in the middle of the night and even dared not to come home."

"Han Yi didn’t come home last night?"

"Yeah, he was at a hotel. You definitely didn’t see today’s entertainment headlines," Yu Xiaoxuan said. Early in the morning, the news came out that Han Yi did not return home last night, suggesting a possible breakup with Yu Xiaoxuan. Thanks to Han Yi’s behavior, she ended up trending again.

Neither Fang Tong nor Shen Qinglan had seen it; Shen Qinglan was not one to follow gossip, and since she was pregnant, she rarely used electronic devices unless necessary.

Fang Tong had just come back the day before, also for her marriage matters, and with so many things going on, she naturally hadn’t noticed.

"Was he drinking for business?" Fang Tong asked.

Yu Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes, "Who knows? I called him so many times last night, and he didn’t answer. He didn’t say a word when he got back in the morning, not even an explanation. How could I not be angry?"

Having been through a similar situation before, Yu Xiaoxuan didn’t suspect Han Yi had done something to betray her. What really angered her was Han Yi’s attitude. No matter what happened, he should at least communicate with me. If he doesn’t tell me anything, how am I supposed to know what’s going on?

"Could it be that you’ve done something to upset Han Yi recently, and that’s why he’s ignoring you?" Fang Tong speculated.

Yu Xiaoxuan glared, "What could I possibly do to him? Uh..."

Fang Tong paused, looking at her, "Really? Something did happen?"
