Chapter 174: Chapter 174: In this family, she fears him the most

All three children took after their mother.

Han Xian had witnessed the way Qin Anguo romantically reminisces over the photograph of that woman.

His rough face softened, the tenderness in his eyes inciting her to grit her teeth in envy.

As a woman, Han Xian was reluctantly admitting how envious she felt of the woman who Qin Anguo had fondly remembered till her death, just by looking at her face in the photograph.

Han Xian shifted her gaze to Qin Jingcen, who was leaning against the couch, meeting his fox-like eyes that seem to see right into one’s soul, sending a tremor to the depths of her heart.

Within this household, he was the one she dreaded the most.

Every time she faced his fox-like eyes, she felt as if all her hidden thoughts were being exposed before him.

Han Xian composed herself and began softly, "It’s okay, I have been free at home all these days, you have been away for long, I am actually quite happy to be busy now."

"Is it?" Qin Jingcen smirked, his grin reminiscent of Qin Ruan’s.

He slowly retorted, "I had thought that Auntie Han was overwhelmed due to recent events, especially since Kexin’s incident led to a significant crash of Qin Group’s stocks. Perhaps, you are more easygoing than I anticipated."

Han Xian almost lost her cheerful facade upon hearing this.

The corners of her mouth twitched, but she quickly regained her composure.

In an instant, her vibrant smile faded, replaced by darkness in her eyes and a melancholic expression.

It’s as though her sunny disposition earlier was a forced attempt to stay cheerful.

Han Xian gracefully dabbed at the corners of her eyes, choking on her words before the two men of the Qin family.

"Kexin is a victim. I raised her for many years, she’s gentle and well-mannered. She could never do such things."

"So, are you suggesting the men in those photos were photoshopped?"

The young Qin master tormented her with gentle words.

"Kexin doesn’t even know those men!"

Han Xian looked up, her face showing deep suffering, tears trickling across her cheeks.

She was an older woman, but her well-maintained appearance combined with her crying made her look pitiful.

Unfortunately, the two men in front of her were unmoved by her plight.

Qin Jingcen switched positions, lounging with one hand under his chin, half-smiling at Han Xian.

"Aunty Han, if the photos were tampered with, who do you think provided them? After all, Kexin has visited all those places."

With that, Han Xian’s tears instantly stopped and her heart plummeted.

The pictures were all provided by her daughter.

If they really investigated it, they would undoubtedly be led back to them.

The most significant factor was that the places photographed were mostly places frequently visited by Han Kexin.

"I don’t know. Kexin couldn’t possibly have done any of those things!" Han Xian firmly denied.

She certainly couldn’t admit it now that things had reached this point.

As for the Chuangshi Entertainment press, even if they saved the call history, there would always be ways to make the guilty seem innocent.

Han Xian always had a way.

Qin Jingcen remained silent, looking at Han Xian with the same semi-smiling gaze.

"Fine, we’ll discuss this when Kexin returns."

Seeing Han Xian was about to speak, Qin Anguo cut her off discontentedly.

Long before, while abroad, he already knew about the happenings at home.

Had it been before, he would have respected Qin Ruan’s wishes to keep his identity a secret, not addressing the rumors circulating outside.

He may not have even intervened with her life, giving her a few more years to adapt to her new environment.

After all, she had not been raised like a greenhouse flower, instead struggling through tough times in West City.

Qin Anguo didn’t want to force Qin Ruan to do anything she didn’t want to do.
