As she got into the car, Nanxi seemed to remember something and turned to him, âBy the way, you still havenât told me what youâre going to do!â
âIâm going to meet Qi Qun.â Lu Yinchuâs voice was very calm. He had started the car as the words fell, and his speed was relatively fast.
â¦
The meeting place is a cafe. When Nanxi saw Lu Yinchu park the car at a nearby temporary parking spot, it was clear he did not plan to stick around.
When he got out of the car, Lu Yinchu looked at Nanxi, âAre you coming too?â
Nanxi shook her head, âNo, Iâ¦Iâll wait for you in the car!â
Had she known he was here to meet Qi Qun, she wouldnât have come with him in the first place!
Lu Yinchu nodded, âOkay, you can read some magazines in the car by yourself. Donât wander around, Iâll be back soon!â
âOkay, Yinchu, donât worry. I wonât be bored, go ahead!â
Lu Yinchu smiled, picked up a grey file bag, closed the car door, and marched off!
Nanxi watched his retreating figure and took a deep breath. She was not worried, because she knew Lu Yinchu was a measured man. This man had never let her worry.
On the contrary, he had been striving tirelessly to help her, who was lost in her confusion, to settle down and find peace.
â¦
The meeting place in the cafe was a spot on the second floor. The environment was elegant and quiet.
Qi Qun had arrived a few minutes early. Facing her brother-in-law, Lu Yinchu, she didnât dare to be late!
Besides, it was the first time in eight years that he had sought her out!
Now, watching Lu Yinchu approaching step by step, Qi Qun was slightly panicked, but she tried to remain calm!
She put down her coffee cup and grabbed her LV handbag. Qi Qun tried to show a smile to Lu Yinchu. Just as she was about to greet him, Lu Yinchu shifted his gaze and waved to a waiter not far away.
Qi Qun closed her mouth awkwardly. Only after Lu Yinchu ordered a cup of black coffee for himself, he sat down across from Qi Qun.
Qi Qun didnât speak, and neither did Lu Yinchu, until the black coffee arrived.
Lu Yinchu took a sip of his black coffee. Qi Qun, finding the atmosphere slightly oppressive, broke the silence first. âYinchu, did you come to see me today because of Nanxi?â
Qi Qun smiled, âDonât worry. I wonât reveal this matter for now. Weihuan has been a good boy recently. I want to enjoy a few peaceful days and donât want to stir up troubleâ¦â
At these words, Lu Yinchu curled the corners of his lips slightly. âSo what youâre saying, big cousin-in-law, is that you will keep this secret for now, because Weihuan has been obedient and is obeying your wishes. You think you have a handle on me, or at least on Weihuan, and that in the future, it would be no surprise if you use this secret as a threat to make Weihuan obedient in other ways⦠Is that right?â
Qi Qun bit her lip, retorted, âYinchu, thatâs not how it is. Iâm Weihuanâs real mother. How can I threaten him? And even if I want him to do something in the future, itâs for his own goodâ¦â
âBig cousin-in-law, I call you by this name, but I never considered you my cousin-in-law in my heart. You should know that!â
Qi Qunâs face turned white, and she remained silent.
Lu Yinchu picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip, his expression indifferent as he continued, âBut Weihuan, my nephew, I will consider him as such for the rest of my life! However, whether I acknowledge him or not has nothing to do with you, big cousin-in-law!â
âDid you call me here today just to tell me these things?â asked Qi Qun in a deep voice, gripping her bag a little tighter.
âOf course not! As I said earlier, I consider Weihuan as my own nephew, so naturally, I canât let his future life be under constant threat, even if the person threatening him is his own mother!â
Qi Qun argued, âLet me say it again, I wonât hurt Weihuan, everything I do is for his own good!â
âIs that so?â
Lu Yinchu coldly uttered these two words. Qi Qunâs face changed slightly and she bit her lip. âOf course! Whatâs more, if you really consider Weihuan as your nephew, how could you steal Gu Nanxi from him? Heâs been calling you uncle since he was a child and admires you a lot. Is this how you treat him? Are you still worthy of being his uncle?â
âWhether Iâm worthy of being his uncle is not up to you to decide!â
Lu Yinchuâs expression was slightly cold. He extended his hand and pushed a document in front of him towards Qi Qun. Qi Qun was taken aback, âWhat is thisâ¦â
âBargaining chip!â
Lu Yinchu gazed deeply, âTwenty percent of the shares in KING Group, in exchange for the secret of Nanxiâs identity, and the freedom of my nephew, Li Weihuan. For you, big cousin-in-law, I think itâs a good deal!â
Qi Qun was completely stunned, while Lu Yinchu had already stood up, his hands in his pockets, looking down from his higher position, his momentum made Qi Qun virtually breathless.
He turned his face, glanced at his black Land Rover not far downstairs.
At this moment, Nanxi should still be in the car. There were so many cars passing by and crowds on the street. But the only place he felt warmth and stability was there!
Compared to Nanxi, what was twenty percent of the shares in KING Group worth?
âThese twenty percent of the shares have been transferred to Weihuanâs name! So, Iâm giving them to Weihuan, not to you. But I think, to you, it should make no difference. You were certain that I wouldnât dare talk about what happened all those years ago because you knew I was too afraid to say it. The truth is, I truly didnât dare, but not because I was afraid of you, you should be clearer than anyone about that!â
âIn this city, my status todayâ¦you think itâs because I used my Grandpaâs wealth as my first pot of gold. But whether I actually did or not, I donât need to care about how you think and I donât care about your subjective opinion! If youâre not clear about my abilities, you could always test my bottom line, and see how low I can make you stoop. Iâm not afraid of your challenges; Iâm only afraid that you donât dare to challenge!â
Once he finished speaking, he didnât spare Qi Qun another glance. He pulled out his chair and walked away without looking back.
Qi Qun sat there dumbfounded for a while, motionless.
