Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Gu Jiayin was confident in herself. She had no affection for him whatsoever, not even if it were two months, let alone two years, she wouldn’t waver. As for flirting with other men, huh, that wasn’t something she was keen on.

The reason for the two-month limit was because the chaotic public opinion outside needed time to settle and fade. After two months, she would no longer need his protection.

Qin Mingxuan had surgery and was transferred to a private ward. Qin Zhennan and Ye Zhilin were both by his side, waiting for news of Gu Jiayin’s arrest.

However, before Qin Mingxuan woke up or they received the anticipated news, a group of police suddenly entered the ward and guarded the door tightly.

Li Rui also came in person.

Qin Zhennan was very confused, "Chief Li, what’s the meaning of this?"

Li Rui smiled helplessly, "Mr. Qin, I am sorry, this is just official business. Currently, Miss Gu has provided strong evidence proving that injuring Young Master Qin was purely self-defense, and she counter accused Young Master Qin of attempted rape."

Ye Zhilin stood up excitedly, "Nonsense, Chief Li, don’t believe the words of that little bitch."

Li Rui awkwardly smiled, "Mrs. Qin, the facts must be clear in your heart. Miss Gu recorded the incident on video, the evidence is conclusive, and Young Master Chi said he will personally oversee this case. I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do. As soon as Young Master Qin recovers, he will be arrested and submitted to justice."

Ye Zhilin fell back onto the ground in panic, her eyes vacant and empty.

"Doesn’t that mean my son is going to jail?" She suddenly seemed to snap awake, pulling on Qin Zhennan’s lapels, "Zhennan, think of a way!"

Qin Zhennan, being smart, quickly saw through most of the situation, and thus irritably shook off Ye Zhilin, "What other way is there, with on-site video and conclusive evidence, plus Sheng Qianchi watching over it, this case is nailed down."

He suddenly glared at Ye Zhilin through gritted teeth, "It’s all because of your indulgence that he’s been so reckless. You’d better go and pray hard that Sheng Qianchi does not add more charges against Mingxuan to make his sentence heavier. That would be a blessing."

Ye Zhilin, like a doll suddenly losing its soul, fell to the ground again. Her hatred gushed forth like a spring, "Gu Jiayin, that little bitch, since she came back, our whole family hasn’t had a moment’s peace. I won’t let her go!"

Li Rui stood aside, raising his eyebrows silently, inwardly amused. The Qin Family really weren’t the best of people. If they were ever to fall from grace, many would turn against them.

He slightly bowed and politely took his leave, "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, farewell."

After speaking, Li Rui turned and left, just running into Qin Yishu, who hurried over at the door. He smiled faintly as a greeting and passed by.

Qin Yishu, inexplicably puzzled, stared at Li Rui’s retreating back for a few seconds, then pushed open the door and entered the ward, "Dad, did Chief Li arrest Gu Jiayin?"

Qin Zhennan frowned at Qin Yishu and said nothing more. At this moment, he felt like there was a heavy stone blocking his heart. Gu Jiayin was becoming more uncontrollable, and he must quickly find a powerful way to ruin her.

Otherwise, he would never be at peace. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Seeing Qin Yishu, Ye Zhilin seemed to be injected with energy, quickly climbing from the ground and grabbing her daughter’s hand, "Yishu, call Sheng Qianchi and plead with him. You saved his life; he will surely give you face."

Qin Yishu bit her lip in difficulty, trying to maintain her graceful demeanor, but her inner thoughts were cruel. Sheng Qianchi indeed said he still owed her a favor, that if anything happened she could approach him for it, but she did not want to plead for Qin Mingxuan.

Sheng Qianchi’s promise was invaluable, something she must preserve well to use at a more critical time. To use it for Qin Mingxuan would be a waste to her.

Thus, Qin Yishu gently smiled, elegantly patting Ye Zhilin’s hand to comfort her, "Mom, I can’t ask Qianchi."

Ye Zhilin widened her eyes in surprise, "Yishu, Mingxuan is your blood brother, will you watch him go to jail?"

"Mom, right now, Qianchi only cares about Gu Jiayin and won’t give me any face. If it were another reason, I might ask him, but Mingxuan attempted to rape Gu Jiayin. For a proud man like Qianchi, how could he tolerate that? It’s already a favor that he’s not tearing Mingxuan apart and giving some face to our Qin Family."

Ye Zhilin thought for a few seconds, finding this reasoning sound, and the newly raised hope on her face immediately faded again.

After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly remembered something, "Zhennan, call Gu Jiayin and ask her to drop the charges."

Qin Zhennan irritably pursed his lips, "With Sheng Qianchi backing her, do you think she would listen to me?"

Ye Zhilin, anxious for her son, started to pick a fight with Qin Zhennan, "You shouldn’t have let that little bitch live back then. She’s just a pawn, not your biological child."

"What?" Qin Yishu looked at Ye Zhilin with confusion and surprise, "Mom, are you saying Gu Jiayin isn’t dad’s child, then whose child is she?"

This is a secret that couldn’t be told.

Qin Zhennan nervously glanced at the door, then gritted his teeth and scolded Ye Zhilin, "You woman, you really have pig brains. Don’t you know walls have ears? If this gets out, we’re all dead."

Ye Zhilin also suddenly became nervous, shrinking her shoulders and not daring to speak again.

Qin Yishu, however, was very curious, "Dad, what’s going on?"

Qin Zhennan lowered his voice and scolded, "Alright, today’s matters are not to be mentioned again. Remember that and watch your mouth."

After speaking, Qin Zhennan gave Ye Zhilin a fierce glare and then turned and left the ward.

After Qin Zhennan left, Qin Yishu still refused to give up on her questions, "Mom, tell me quickly, if Gu Jiayin isn’t dad’s child, then did Gu Qiyun have an affair back then?"

Ye Zhilin still felt fearful, regretting her slip of the tongue earlier, "Alright, stop asking. Didn’t your dad just say not to bring this up again? This concerns the lives of our entire family."

Qin Zhennan still called Gu Jiayin.

"Jiayin, you moved to Shuiyunjian without telling dad. We just reunited as father and daughter, and now we’re living apart again. I’m feeling quite lost. Are you free, would you have a meal with dad?"

When Gu Jiayin received the call from Qin Zhennan, she was tasting wine in the studio, while Sheng Qianchi was working in the study.

Hearing the deliberately kind voice from Qin Zhennan, Gu Jiayin sarcastically curled her lips, "Dad inviting me to dinner, of course I have time."

Qin Zhennan sought her out, it was nothing more than about Qin Mingxuan’s matter. She had already anticipated he would seek her, so she readily accepted the invitation.

Although she hated the Qin Family to her bones, now wasn’t the time to push Qin Zhennan to desperation, so she still had to maintain appearances.

After changing clothes and packing her bag, she knocked on the door of the study.
