Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the lounge, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen sat separately. Ever since they entered, the two of them hadn’t spoken. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Lin Qingqian felt that she had waited for a long time. Just as she was about to get up to ask, the lounge door was pushed open.
The police officer who brought them back said, “Mr. Jiang, Miss Lin, please come out for a while.”
Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen looked at each other and walked out of the lounge tacitly.
In the hall of the police station, they saw a gorgeous figure from afar. She looked a little familiar. After taking two more steps, they saw the person clearly—Madam Jiang.
Li Ruzhu stood in front of her. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with mist. She was weak and helpless, which could very well arouse the protective instincts of male animals.
From the moment Jiang Yanshen saw Madam Jiang, his expression darkened subtly.
When Madam Jiang saw Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen, her exquisitely made-up face was covered in frost. She said coldly, “It’s just a piece of clothing. Do you have to make a fuss and bring it to the police station? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Lin Qingqian was indifferent. “I’m not the thief. Naturally, I’m not the one who’s embarrassed.”
“You!” Madam Jiang was stunned for a moment before saying, “I gave the clothes to Ruzhu.”
Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. “Madam Jiang, you mean that you stole the clothes?”
“What stealing!” Madam Jiang couldn’t help but raise her voice. “The clothes were originally bought with our Jiang family’s money. Don’t forget that you denounced everything when you left. The clothes belong to our Jiang family. I can give them to whoever I want. Who are you to interfere?”
Her words immediately attracted the attention of the people passing by, and they couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Lin Qingqian.
Was this the woman who had abandoned Jiang Yanshen at the wedding?
Lin Qingqian was unmoved even after being stared at. She strutted in front of Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu and looked at Jiang Yanshen for the first time. “Madam Jiang said that the clothes are not mine. Is that so?”
“Since the clothes were given to you, theyre naturally yours,” Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. His dark eyes were filled with gentleness as he stared at her.
The surrounding people immediately revealed surprised expressions. They heard that Lin Qingqian had rejected the marriage. How was Jiang Yanshen still protecting her now? Were the two of them really divorced?
Lin Qingqian looked at Madam Jiang and smiled. “Madam Jiang, did you hear it clearly?”
Madam Jiang’s face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, “Jiang Yanshen, do you want to send me to the detention center?”
Jiang Yanshen glanced at her with an indifferent expression. “If you don’t get involved in this matter, nothing will happen.”
“You—I‘ Madam Jiang was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. She looked at Lin Qingqian and said angrily, “What exactly will make you give up?”
Lin Qingqian blinked and said, “I’ll let this go if she kneels down and apologizes to me!”
Madam Jiang was stunned, and Li Ruzhu’s eyes widened. She couldn’t care less about her image in front of Jiang Yanshen and scolded angrily, “Lin Qingqian, are you crazy”‘
“Kneel down and apologize, or go to jail for three months.” Lin Qingqian revealed a harmless smile. “Choose one.”
Li Ruzhu had encouraged Ling Shuang to humiliate her. Now, she was only giving her a taste of her own medicine.
Thinking about it now, they must have been the ones who defamed her on Weibo previously!
Li Ruzhu didn’t want to kneel and apologize, but she didn’t want to be detained either. If she went to jail, none of the rich young ladies would want to play with her anymore.
She looked at Madam Jiang for help.
Madam Jiang said with a cold expression, “Lin, don’t go too far!”
Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. “How is that too far? I thought Miss Li liked to kneel!”
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Li Ruzhu’s eyes. She bit her lip and did not say anything.
Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Yanshen again. If not for his support, Lin Qingqian couldn’t be so arrogant.
Jiang Yanshen didn’t seem to notice her gaze. He looked down at Lin Qingqian’s exquisite face, his eyes filled with gentleness.
The police officer looked at them for a long time and finally understood. He coughed lightly and said, “Um, if this matter is not settled privately, this lady will be detained for three months on the charge of theft and will receive an administrative punishment of 30,000 yuan.”
“I’m not going to jail!” Li Ruzhu grabbed Madam Jiang’s arm as if she was holding onto a straw to clutch at. “Auntie, I don’t want to go to jail. Help me quickly!”
With Jiang Yanshen backing Lin Qingqian up, although Madam Jiang wanted to help, she was helpless and looked troubled.
Seeing that she was silent, Li Ruzhu suddenly let go of the strength in her fingertips. She looked at Lin Qingqian with a pale face and hatred. “Lin Qingqian, you b*tch…’
As she spoke, she could no longer control her anger and raised her hand to throw it at Lin Qingqian.
Before her fingertips could touch Lin Qingqian, they were grabbed halfway.
Without hesitation, Lin Qingqian raised her hand and slapped her ruthlessly. The police wanted to stop her, but it was too late. “Hey, you can’t fight here.”
Lin Qingqian used all her strength and smacked her so hard that her palm went numb. She blew on it and said calmly, “Officer, I was defending myself.” The police officer was speechless.
Do you think I’m blind? She’s already firmly restrained by you and hasn’t even touched your hair. What is there to defend against!
However, because the other party had committed a crime and still took the initiative to attack, he couldn’t say anything.
Madam Jiang’s expression was ugly. “Don’t go too far!!”
Lin Qingqian ignored her completely. Her gaze landed on the red half of Li
Ruzhu’s face. “This slap is my repayment to you. I’ll discount you the interest.”
Li Ruzhu held her burning cheek, her mind still in a daze. She only heard Jiang
Yanshen say, “Does it hurt?”
She turned her head expectantly and saw that his expression was gentle as he looked at Lin Qingqian’s red palm.
Lin Qingqian’s brows moved slightly, and she said in a reflective tone, “It’s my first time, so I don’t have any experience.”
Jiang Yanshen stood behind her and raised his long arm. His warm palm covered her left hand. Then, he opened his palm and slapped Li Ruzhu’s face.
There was no fluctuation in his exquisite facial features. He lowered his head and pressed it against Lin Qingqian’s ear, saying in a low and hoarse voice, “Qianqian, if you do it like this, it won’t hurt when you hit people.”
Lin Qingqian”
The police officer was speechless.
Li Ruzhu, whose entire face was red from the slaps, was completely stunned as tears flowed down her face.
Jiang Yanshen didn’t even look at her and said with a serious expression, “Also, the interest can’t be discounted. Everything has to be collected.”
Lin Qingqian: “…”
The veins on Madam Jiang’s face twitched. “Jiang Yanshen, Lin Qingqian…
Good, you’re really great.”
Those two slaps not only landed on Li Ruzhu’s face, but also her face.
The police brought the crying Li Ruzhu to the detention room. Madam Jiang left with a resentful expression.
When Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen walked out of the police station, they were greeted by Suisui and Han Liubai.
Before Suisui arrived, she said, ‘Qianqian, are you alright?”
Lin Qingqian said indifferently, “I’m fine.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll send you back,” Han Liubai said warmly.
Before Lin Qingqian could speak, Jiang Yanshen had already grabbed her wrist and tightened his grip. “Let’s go.”
The two men’s gazes met. One was gentle, and the other was dark. The atmosphere instantly became tense and solemn.
Suisui rolled her eyes and immediately said, “Um, Xiao Bai, send me back! My neighborhood has had a lot of flashers recently. It’s disgusting.”
Han Liubai didn’t say anything, his pitch-black eyes focused on Lin Qingqian motionlessly.
Lin Qingqian’s thin eyelashes fluttered. “Xiaobai, send Suisui back.”
The light in his eyes dimmed, but he still agreed.
Under the dim streetlights, Jiang Yanshen looked down at her, the gentleness in his eyes almost overflowing.
Lin Qingqian glanced sideways. “Aren’t you going to let go?”
His warm fingertips reluctantly loosened, and his thin lips curled up. “Let’s go.
I’ll take you home.”
The next day, Lin Qingqian received Vin’s call early in the morning.
In the end, “Z” magazine decided to terminate the Ling Corporation’s investment and continue to cooperate with Lin Qingqian.
Vin’s voice was filled with disappointment. “The Ling Family has such a daughter. If we continue to cooperate with them, it will affect the development of Z magazine.”
“What’s your plan now that you don’t have the Ling Family’s funds?” Lin Qingqian asked.
Vin: “We’ll find other investors. There will always be a turnaround.”
Lin Qingqian: “I’ll help to keep an eye out too. Everything will be fine.”
After chatting with Vin, Lin Qingqian tidied up and went to the company, asking Su Ying to ask the finance department about the funds available in the company’s accounts.
After Su Ying got the report, she made a cup of coffee and brought them to her.
When Lin Qingqian saw the report, she couldn’t help but frown. This sum of money was fine for the company, but it was a drop in the bucket for Z magazine.
Han Liubai knocked on the door and entered. Seeing her worried face, he asked with concern, “What happened?”
Lin Qingqian told him what happened in the morning.
Han Liubai comforted her. “Don’t worry. Z magazine has a lot of experience. The last issue sold well and they should be able to last for a while. As long as they can find a new investor, there won’t be any problems.”
Lin Qingqian sighed softly. “I hope so.”
“Qianqian, Qianqian…” Suisui ran into the office in a hurry. When she saw Han Liubai, she immediately swallowed her words. Lin Qingqian looked up at her. “What’s wrong?”
Suisui glanced at Han Liubai and didn’t say anything.
Han Liubai knew that she was doing this because he was present. He stood up and said, “I’ll go out to work first.”
When he walked out of the office, Suisui said impatiently, “Qianqian, didn’t you see the news today?”
‘What news?” Lin Qingqian blinked. She had been thinking about “Z” magazine all morning, so how could she have the time to read the news online?
Suisui passed her phone over and said, “Look for yourself.. ‘
A popular headline reads: “Shocking! Prominent Wealthy Widow’s Late-Night
Encounter with Younger Man Raises Suspicions of Long-Term Infidelity.”
There were a few photos below. Lin Qingqian recognized at a glance that the woman in the photo was Madam Jiang. She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn at the police station last night.
She hugged a young man intimately and even kissed him when they walked into the hotel.
The side of her face was clearly photographed!!!
At the side, Suisui said, “I was wondering why Jiang Yanshen was so abnormal! It turns out that a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! His mother’s still fooling around at such an old age. How shameless!”
Lin Qingqian scrolled down and saw many netizens’ comments.
IP168.09.02: Isn’t this Jiang Yanshen’s mother? F*ck, I feel like his father’s coffin can’t be covered anymore!
Passerby 233333: Jiang Yanshen’s father was cuckolded. Jiang Yanshen was abandoned at his wedding. Did all the men of the Jiang Family descend to the mortal world to transcend the love tribulation?
Passerby 123456: The wealthy families are so messy. Both the men and women are not good people!
Passerby 934454: So what if Jiang Yanshen is powerful? After dealing with his mother, he still has to call me Dad obediently! [Smug]
The comments below became more and more unsightly. Lin Qingqian didn’t look at the comments anymore and returned the phone to Suisui. She picked up her phone and swiped up to make a call.
Her fingertips lingered on the word “Director Jiang” for a long time..
