Chapter 4: Give Her Money
In the end, Lin Xiao’s parents apologized to Qin Muxuan with extreme sincerity, and Lin Xiao was forced to say sorry to Qin Xiaobai reluctantly.
Lin Xiao’s mother flattered, “Ms. Qin, I failed to recognize President Gu and said those impudent words. I’m really sorry. You can blame the whole thing on me if you want. It has nothing to do with Lin Xiao’s father. He was just deluded and instigated by me. Please forgive me.”
Lin Xiao’s father echoed immediately, “Ms. Qin, it’s Lin Xiao and my wife who were unreasonable and offended you and your son. I was also stupidly involved in it. This is just a misunderstanding. Please let it go.”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Qin Muxuan looked away.
Of course, she knew that they totally changed their attitude because of the man in front of them-the man who had great power and could do whatever he wanted in A City.
She was utterly upset and unconsciously thought of what happened five years ago.
At that time, Qin Group was on the verge of bankruptcy due to economic problems, and her stepmother played tricks unscrupulously and sent her to Gu Zijin’s bed.
She still remembered that the water in the bathtub was freezing cold, and the man with a frosty look seized her by the chin. His strength was so strong that she was almost crushed. His dark-colored pupils were full of endless cruelty and danger, “I hate being controlled most, especially by your disgraceful means.”
She gave up struggling and lowered her eyes silently.
They all thought she played tricks and got herself in Gu Zijin’s bed for profit, but no one knew that she was also a victim who was trapped.
When she saw the sneer of her stepmother, she knew how things would end.
She didn’t have any extravagant hope that Gu Zijin would fall in love with her because of one-night sleep and help Qin Group survive the crisis, which could only happen in the novel. She just hoped that Gu Zijin could let her go after that night.
Fortunately, the man blocked all the news afterwards. They kept clear of each other and lived in peace for five years.
She didn’t expect to meet him on such an occasion where she was extremely awkward.
Could it be… She suddenly recalled the man’s words “My son”. Qin Muxuan felt a burst of coldness all over her back and an idea flashed through her mind.
…
Qin Muxuan pulled Qin Xiaobai out of there in a hurry, and her pace was so fast that Qin Xiaobai was about to be pulled down.
“Dabai, I can’t catch up.”
Qin Xiaobai’s innocent voice came from behind. Qin Muxuan looked back vigilantly and found that Gu Zijin wasn’t following them. Only then did she finally stop.
She heaved a long sigh of relief, lowered her head and met Qin Xiaobai’s sparking big eyes, “Dabai, is the handsome uncle invited by you to help us out?”
Qin Muxuan was dazed since she didn’t expect that Qin Xiaobai would think so.
But she could not explain the man’s real identity to him.
Qin Muxuan’s dumbness was considered as “yes” in Qin Xiaobai’s eyes.
Qin Xiaobai’s black eyes lit up instantly. He pulled Qin Muxuan’s sleeve excitedly, “Dabai, now Lin Xiao knows that I also have dad. Then he won’t dare to bully me again. This is awesome! Dabai, thank you for letting that uncle play my dad.”
Qin Muxuan went stiff.
Seeing Qin Xiaobai’s expectant eyes, she couldn’t tell him that the man wasn’t invited by her.
Just knowing that someone was playing his father already made the child this excited. She could see that Qin Xiaobai really hoped to have a father.
Qin Muxuan lowered her eyes extremely bitterly.
She led Qin Xiaobai back to their community with a heavy heart, and a black Bentley came into their view.
This luxury car worth more than ten million yuan was exceptionally conspicuous in this shabby neighborhood.
He came here anyway…
Qin Muxuan clenched her fists with inexplicable despair and helplessness in her eyes.
It turned out she failed to hide things from him after all.
“Dabai, look over there,” Qin Xiaobai pulled her hand and pointed to the car, “What a cool car!”
His big eyes were filled with amazement and envy.
Qin Muxuan rubbed his hair and said to him softly, “Xiaobai, mommy has something to do now. You go up first and there are some potato chips I bought on the table.”
When he heard this, Qin Xiaobai’s eyes lit up, and he took the key and ran upstairs excitedly.
Qin Muxuan controlled her emotion and headed for the Bentley.
With dark windows closed, Qin Muxuan couldn’t see inside. After a while, Gu Zijin’s assistant got out of the car.
The assistant politely introduced herself to Qin Muxuan, “Hello, Ms. Qin. My name is Li Suyu, and I’m President Gu’s assistant.”
Qin Muxuan nodded in response, motioning her to continue.
Qin Muxuan cast a glance at the back seat unconsciously. Was the man listening to them now?
“Ms. Qin, President Gu already knows the existence of Qin Xiaobai. Now it is time to bring Qin Xiaobai back to the Gu Family and let him find his origin. I hope you can understand.”
There was no sign that the window would be rolled down.
Qin Muxuan lowered her eyes, trying to conceal the bitterness there and maintain her last bit of dignity.
She gave birth to Xiaobai after ten-month pregnancy. But now she was informed that Xiaobai would be taken away from her in this way, and she could do nothing about it!
She couldn’t help but accept it. She could only watch the only person who kept her company being taken away.
She was almost killed by the overwhelming despair, and she stepped back to steady herself.
God knew how much she wanted to reject this arrogant man whatever she needed to do, but… she thought of Xiao Bai’s grievances when he was called a bastard, of the light in his eyes when Gu Zijin showed up, and of the arrogance of the Lin Family.
Qin Muxuan suddenly realized that she was all wrong these years. She always thought that as long as she gave Xiaobai everything she could, it would be enough. But actually it was far from enough.
She would be still powerless if things like today’s happened again. But things were totally different for Gu Zijin.
He could give Xiaobai the best life and a father’s love missing for five years.
Qin Muxuan licked her lips feebly and said slowly, “I accept it, but with one condition.”
Li Suyu turned around and returned to the car.
“President Gu, Ms. Qin has agreed that young master goes back to the Gu Family.”
Gu Zijin showed no emotion since this answer was within his expectation.
Back then, Qin Muxuan played tricks and got herself in his bed for nothing more than profit. This child was just a tool she traded for profit.
He looked up at Li Suyu and said with a cold voice, “Transfer money directly to her account no matter how much she wants”.
Li Suyu shook her head awkwardly. “No, President. Gu. Ms. Qin hopes that she can accompany the young master for two more months, and that she can maintain contact with him.”
Something different appeared in Gu Zijin’s eyes, “Is that so?”
“Yes. Ms. Qin didn’t mention money.”
This was a little unexpected for him.
“Okay. Ask her to pack up and come to the Gu Family.”
Li Suyu got out of the car and conveyed to Qin Muxuan the message that President. Gu asked her to go to the Gu Family and accompany Qin Xiaobai for two months. Qin Muxuan rejected it directly.
She just wanted to leave more shared memories of her and Xiaobai in this shabby little house.
“Ms. Qin …”
Qin Muxuan’s eyes were all red and her lips trembled, “I have made the biggest concession I can. Why does he push me this much?”
