Chapter 1131 - So You’re Actually Pregnan

Lin Che finally figured it out. They definitely wanted her to compensate. Otherwise, they would not let her leave.

“I didn’t say that I wouldn’t pay either. I just want to know how much exactly it is. Am I not allowed to know that?” She did feel very apologetic. Her belly was huge and hence, the scale of her movement was large too. She had momentarily lost focus. She herself was very annoyed at the fact that she was so cumbersome and clumsy now.

But for some reason, she felt that that item should not be worth that much.

The employee looked at her and said bluntly, “Alright. I’ll put it this way. It won’t be good for you if this matter blows up either. No one knows that you’re pregnant now, right? I’ll tell you this. We definitely can’t guarantee that people won’t find out now. After all, you’re making such a big fuss and refusing to compensate us after breaking our item. If we call the police, you won’t be able to hide this belly of yours.”

Lin Che looked at her angrily. “You mean that you’ll escalate things if I don’t pay up?”

“Of course. I’m just an insignificant employee. I won’t be able to pay for this item no matter how many years you give me. If you still don’t compensate us for it, our only option will be to blow the matter up. I can’t call it blowing the matter up either. But we will definitely call the police. If we do that, people will know everything about you then. We won’t be able to guarantee that they won’t find out.”

Lin Che looked at her. Before she could say anything, she said once again, “Hey, you’re a celebrity. You earn so much money. Do you even have to think about this small amount of money?”

Lin Che asked, “Is this a small amount? A small amount? 400,000 isn’t a small number. I won’t casually give it to you. You should still give me some evidence to prove it.”

“Ha. I have no way of proving it. If you want proof, you’ll have to get our manager here. When that happens and we cause a ruckus elsewhere, we definitely won’t be able to guarantee that you won’t be exposed. You should quickly give it some thought. People walk around in this area. If someone sees you later, I can’t ensure that they won’t come in and take photos. There’s no doubt that you broke something. You can’t refuse to compensate for it, right?”

Lin Che said, “I never said that I wouldn’t compensate you for it either. But you must quote me a reasonable price.”

“This price is the lowest. What else do you want?”

“I...” Just then, as expected, Lin Che seemed to see someone currently taking a peek inside from behind.

Sensing the situation, the employee deliberately spoke even louder. “You’re so famous, but you aren’t even willing to fork out such a small amount. You can’t refuse to pay just because you’re a celebrity. You earn money by being a celebrity and we rely on selling things to earn money. There’s no way we earn as much as you. Since you earn so much, you can’t cheat mere retail staff like us. Celebrities can’t eat without paying, right? Nor can they refuse to pay after breaking something, right?”

“You...” Wasn’t she deliberately stirring up trouble?

On the side, Lin Che’s subordinates were just about to take action when they heard someone shout from behind, “Do you really have no qualms bullying someone like this?”

She turned around only to see none other than Qin Qing walk inside.

Lin Che froze.

“Why are you...”

Qin Qing asked, “What are you doing here?”

Lin Che looked at the employee opposite her.

The employee did not recognize Qin Qing. She merely felt that he was exceptionally handsome and looked like a wealthy person. She wondered if he was one of her lovers.

“Hey, you guys know each other? She just broke something of ours, but she doesn’t want to pay for it.”

Qin Qing scoffed. He looked down at the pieces on the ground and said to her, “Call the police. Just tell them I broke the item. I want to know how much exactly this thing is worth.”

“You... you... I really will call the police,” the employee said.

Qin Qing said nonchalantly, “Call.”

The employee looked at Qin Qing. “Hey, are you with her? Don’t think that I’ll be afraid of you guys just because there are so many of you. Who the hell are you? Are you a gigolo she’s been sponsoring?”

“Huh... your store is located here, but you actually don’t know who I am?”

The employee was still in a daze when the manager of the shopping mall frantically ran over from behind her. “President Qin, this place is...”

The employee was completely shocked.

This person was...

Qin Qing said, “Look at this store and this employee.”

The manager froze. He quickly looked at the employee with a furious expression. “How did you offend President Qin?”

President Qin, could he be... the chairman of the shopping mall, President Qin of the Qin family?

Qin Qing did not continue to linger. He said to Lin Che, “Let’s go out and talk about this first.”

Lin Che glanced at the employee. Her face was already deathly pale as she looked down. She didn’t dare to speak and had completely lost her earlier confidence. Then, she nodded and said, “Let’s go then.”

Outside.

Lin Che looked at Qin Qing. “Luckily, you came.”

Qin Qing felt happy at the fact that he was able to help her.

He smiled and said, “This is my family’s shopping mall. I’m just upstairs. My subordinates said that they saw you, so I quickly came to take a look. And you were really here.”

“Yes. I came out to look around,” she said.

Qin Qing still felt very apologetic when he thought about what had happened the last time. For a moment, he felt extremely glad that he was able to seize this chance to help her out.

He thought that perhaps he could use this chance to reconcile with her so that their relationship would no longer be awkward.

Just then, they heard someone call out Qin Qing’s name from behind them.

“Qin Qing, what a coincidence.”

Lin Che and Qin Qing both turned their heads only to see someone walking towards them from behind. Lin Che felt that she looked slightly familiar.

It was a gorgeous woman dressed in a fiery red dress. The moment she saw Lin Che at the side as well, she paused for a moment before crying out in alarm, “Good gracious, Lin Che.”

Lin Che froze. Did she know her?

She said, “Nice to meet you.”

Seeing that she was completely confused, the person quickly smiled and said, “Lin Che, you’ve forgotten me. I was your classmate.”

Classmate?

Lin Che took a closer look. Sure enough, she then remembered something.

She was her classmate. But she had honestly forgotten what her name was a long time ago.

Because she had too many classmates and so many years had passed, and on top of that she was having baby brain right now...

“Um, nice to meet you. I’m sorry, you’re so pretty, I can’t remember at the moment which classmate of mine was so beautiful.”

At her flattering words, the other party smiled even more warmly. “Lin Che, you’ve really changed. Your tongue is so glib. I’m Liu Yanyan. I sat behind you back then.”

Hearing this, Lin Che immediately remembered.

Oh, there was such a person.

But God forbid she really did not remember having any interaction with her then.

It was probably because she did not have that many friends in school either.

Thus, she looked at her and said even more apologetically, “I forgot for a moment. Seriously, you changed way too much.”

“I could say the same about you.” Of course, Liu Yanyan had noticed her belly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Good lord, your belly... so you’re pregnant.”

Lin Che smiled.

She said, “I used to see you on television all the time, but I haven’t seen you recently. I was wondering why you disappeared. So it was because you were getting ready for pregnancy. Seriously, what a coincidence. Let’s sit down for a chat later. I came to look for Qin Qing because we have something important to discuss. I didn’t expect to bump into you. Come on, let’s go and take a look.”

Qin Qing said, “Let’s go there first and take a seat, then.”

Finding it difficult to refuse, Lin Che nodded her head.

Qin Qing reached out to hold her arm as support.

Lin Che wanted to evade his hand but did not manage to. She smiled faintly.

But she did not notice a flash of light behind her. It disappeared in an instant.
