Chapter 2298: Chapter 102: Injured
Qin Qingqing looked up slightly, surprised, at Mo Ziye beside her.
The latter seemed lost in thought.
She smiled faintly, “Then I wish you to achieve your wishes soon.”
“Qingqing, thank you for telling me these things. That little bitch Shi Xi keeps thinking about my Brother Ah Zhan, while also trying to seduce Mo Ziye. You need to be careful, don’t let her succeed.”
Shi Zhen wasn’t necessarily trying to help Qin Qingqing.
But she truly wanted to join hands with Qin Qingqing to deal with Shi Xi.
Not only that.
She also wanted to build a good relationship with Qin Qingqing to curry favor with Ye Zhan.
Although Old Man Qin and Old Man An have both retired, Ye Zhan has a good relationship with their families.
Ye Zhan and Qin Qingqing also seem to have a good relationship.
In recent days, Shi Zhen had even seen Ye Zhan talking with Qin Mu.
She felt that if she could have a good relationship with Qin Qingqing, she would at least have more opportunities to see Ye Zhan.
“She won’t have a chance with Brother Ziyi, just this morning, Haochen has already terminated her contract. She might fully focus on Ye Zhan next. However, as long as she can’t clear her name, she won’t have a chance to compete with you.”
“I won’t give her a chance.”
Right now, Shi Zhen was utterly convinced of Qin Qingqing’s words.
That night at Old Master Ye’s birthday banquet, she heard her second uncle Shi Dongping talking to Father Ye with her own ears.
If she had any hesitations, it would be because of her father’s previous warnings.
“Listening to Shi Zhen’s tone, she seems to know a lot about Shi Xi’s affairs.”
After hanging up the phone, Qin Qingqing said to Mo Ziye.
Mo Ziye furrowed his brows in contemplation, “Ye Zhan hasn’t found much information yet, although it’s confirmed that Shi Xi was once pregnant and had an abortion, and there’s a side photo of the man. However, the man’s identity is still unclear.”
“Brother Ziyi, do you think it’s possible that the man is too important to the Shi family, so even though Shi Zhen knows about Shi Xi’s affairs, she never thought about exposing them?”
Saying this, she pursed her lips and added, “Brother Ziyi, I want to take a trip to the Imperial City.”
“For what?”
“To find Shi Zhen, I want to see her and confirm some things.”
“No need, for now just let her ruin Shi Xi’s attempts to clear her name.”
“Why?”
“Take it slow, Shi Zhen doesn’t trust you, Qingqing. We can’t rush things, or if Shi Zhen realizes it, she might not work against Shi Xi anymore.”
“Alright, then.”
Qin Qingqing nodded.
She was too eager for revenge.
Although Shi Zhen hated Shi Xi, she’s not a fool and won’t let herself be used.
——
Two days later, Shi Xi’s scandal made headlines again.
This time it completely targeted her previous attempts to clear her name. From newspapers and magazines to online platforms, not only was there exposure about Shi Xi, but Shi Dongping was also implicated.
It was said that the old man and Shi Dongping have unspeakable secrets, which is why he let the man off after he messed with his daughter without pursuing it.
Of course, the man’s identity remained mysterious.
No faces shown, just a silhouette.
And there were photos of Shi Xi’s abortion, surgery records, etc., proving she had an abortion.
In the villa, Shi Xi stared at the newspaper, her face pale, and threw her phone on the ground, cutting the call.
Who was framing her like this?
Her eyes had a vicious gleam. She picked up her phone again, recalling something, and dialed Shi Dongping.
“Dad, I know it has to be Shi Zhen who did this. She’s the only one who knows everything so clearly. The doctor who performed the surgery on me is her aunt…”
“Shi Zhen?”
Surprise and doubt tinged Shi Dongping’s voice.
“Yes, it’s got to be her. No one else would target me like this. She’s afraid I’ll compete with her for Ye Zhan. Dad, what should I do now?”
“Come back to the Imperial City first. I’ll ask Shi Zhen if she had anything to do with this. If she really did it, I won’t let her off.”
Airport.
Qin Mu and Mo Xiuchen came out of the VIP channel, and Qin Qingqing excitedly went to them, happily grabbing Qin Mu’s arm, “Dad… you’re hurt?”
Saying this, the smile on Qin Qingqing’s face was replaced by concern.
Earlier, when she held Qin Mu’s arm, he had grunted, and she realized she touched where he was injured.
Seeing her about to check his arm, Qin Mu smiled to stop her, “Qingqing, it’s a minor injury, nothing serious. There are a lot of people at the airport, you can check it after we get home.”
“Then let’s go home first.”
Qin Qingqing lowered her eyes to hide the sadness and heartache, releasing Qin Mu’s arm.
Beside them, Mo Ziye looked at Qin Mu with concern in his eyes, “Dad, how did you get hurt?”
“Ziye, what did you just call me?”
Qin Mu was momentarily stunned.
He looked up at Mo Ziye.
Mo Ziye’s lips curled into a slight smile. He stepped forward, pulled Qingqing into his embrace, “Dad, although Qingqing and I haven’t registered yet, in my heart, since she moved into my house twenty-one years ago, she’s been my wife. I should have called you dad long ago.”
“Ah Mu, Ziye has been with Qingqing for so many years, it’s indeed late for him to call you dad now. Don’t be embarrassed, just respond, and don’t worry about changing the customary fees.”
Mo Xiuchen’s gaze paused on Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing for a second before turning, laughing as he spoke to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu wasn’t embarrassed.
He was too happy.
“There still needs to be a customary fee, but not now. I’ll give it after you and Qingqing register.”
“Uncle Qin, how many figures are you planning to give?”
Mo Ziye teased, earning a glare from Qin Qingqing.
Qin Mu laughed heartily, “That depends on how well you treat my Qingqing.”
“Dad, Qingqing is more important to me than my own life. Of course, my care for her is unmatched.”
“Even better than how I care for Qingqing?”
“Dad, of course.”
“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll give you a big red envelope.” Qin Mu said with a smile, then moved forward.
Qin Qingqing gave Mo Ziye a playful scolding look, then stepped forward to hold Qin Mu’s other arm, asking with concern how he got injured.
Behind, Mo Ziye turned to glance at Qin Mu and Qin Qingqing, his long eyes scrutinizing his father Mo Xiuchen from top to bottom, asking with concern, “Dad, are you injured too?”
“Don’t tell your mom.”
Mo Xiuchen furrowed his brow, his voice somewhat stern.
Hearing this, Mo Ziye’s handsome brow furrowed slightly, “Where are you hurt?”
“The right arm.”
“When did you get injured?”
“Three nights ago, we encountered a sniper… even though both of us got slightly injured, the sniper is dead. Although he was hired, he was the one who killed An Lin, he was the murderer. At least we got some revenge for An Lin.”
Mo Xiuchen looked at the distant figures of Qin Mu and Qin Qingqing, signaling Mo Ziye to talk as they walked.
“It’s a relief you were only injured. Dad, you and Uncle Qin shouldn’t go back to the Imperial City. Although the sniper is dead, not all leads are cut off. Leave the rest to me.”
