Chapter 76: 076 Five Thunder Bombardment_1 Chapter 76: 076 Five Thunder Bombardment_1 “Dad…”

Just as Qin Yutong stepped into the restaurant, she saw her dad, along with a group of what looked like important officials, going into a private room.

Wow… what a coincidence?

Her dad had been in Jiangcheng earlier, but why was he still here these days?

She worried if Ranran would slip up tonight. It looked like her worry was unnecessary!

“What? What did you just say?” Lin Xiangwan strangely questioned her son.

Dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, with short hair, Qin Yutong finally realized she had unintentionally spoken aloud. “I didn’t say anything, what’s wrong, mom?”

Lin Xiangwan once again looked in the direction of Ranran’s gaze but couldn’t find anything unusual. “Why do I feel like I just heard you calling someone ‘dad’?”

She was sure she hadn’t heard wrongly!

Qin Yutong looked at her mother earnestly, her eyes bright and burning. “Mom, do you think I should meet dad?”

What was going on with her mom and dad? Why did they split up?

Lin Xiangwan shook her head repeatedly. “You haven’t even met your dad!”

Even she, the mother, hadn’t met him. She only knew the man was a soldier.

“Mom, what does Dad do?” Qin Yutong deliberately asked a question she knew the answer to.

Well, what a coincidence that the daughter would ask about the very thing she was just thinking. “He’s a soldier!”

Su Yueze, who had just returned from the bathroom and was looking at his mother and sister still standing in the hall, spoke, “I’ve left the bag over here. Why haven’t you ordered yet?”

Lin Xiangwan politely replied. “We just ate…”

“You still need to eat!” Su Yueze commanded assertively.

Next, to make his stomach feel better, Su Yueze took it upon himself to order the dishes, without giving Lin Haoran a chance to chip in.

As Lin Xiangwan went to the bathroom, Qin Yutong revealed her ‘true colors’ and asked annoyingly, “I advise you not to court my mother!”

“Why?” Su Yueze put down his tea cup.

Lin Haoran responded arrogantly, “Because you’ve fallen for a woman you shouldn’t have. You’re messing with my dad’s woman. Aren’t you afraid my dad will beat you and make you eat yourself?”

“Oh, you’re pretty cocky, aren’t you?” Su Yueze almost laughed. “Where did you learn to threaten people like this? From TV or the movies? I advise you to watch less of these things!”

Qin Yutong ignored his sarcasm, calmly asking, “Right now you don’t know who my dad is. Once you do, you’ll regret not heeding my advice!”

Huffily, Qin Yutong stormed out of the room.

Su Yueze followed her, yelling, “Hey, where are you going, kid?”

“Are you going to follow me into the women’s restroom?” Qin Yutong asked provocatively.

Su Yueze was speechless, standing frozen on the spot, as if turned to stone!

He chuckled, looking in the direction of the entrance. “Alright, this is what it means when they say, ‘the student surpasses the teacher.’ We have successors now!”

………

Just as Lin Xiangwan came out of the bathroom, she unexpectedly ran into Qin Muchuan coming out of the men’s bathroom. His slightly alcohol-infused gaze fell on her face.

She didn’t know why… she could feel the heat of his alcohol-soaked breath, making her cheeks uncontrolledly flush.

She deliberately ignored his gaze and his presence altogether.

Just as she walked past him, intending to leave.

Qin Muchuan either deliberately or accidentally blocked her way. “You’re seeing Su Yueze again?”

Lin Xiangwan inexplicably looked at him. Who she saw had nothing to do with him, right?

Without a word, she turned around and continued walking.

Qin Muchuan stood his ground, the flames burning brighter in his eyes due to her provocation. “Stop,” he demanded.

She pretended not to hear him.

“I told you to stop!” His voice was even colder than before.

Still, she continued walking at a steady pace.

“Did you not hear me?”

“…” She answered with silence.

Qin Muchuan quickened his pace, catching up to Lin Xiangwan and grabbing her wrist.

Finally facing him, Lin Xiangwan frowned in confusion. “Mr. Qin, what do you want?”

“Were you ignoring me while I was talking to you?” he questioned. “Are you seeing Su Yueze again?” His tone was peremptory and mocking.

The mere thought of it made Lin Xiangwan uncomfortable. “Why do you care who I’m seeing? What does it have to do with you?”

Qin Muchuan suddenly grabbed her, squeezing her wrist tightly as a warning. “Listen to me, watch your tone when you talk to me!”

“Ouch…” Lin Xiangwan’s wrist ached and tingled, the pain gnawing at her heart. “Let go of me. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t even want to talk to you!”

Qin Muchuan, his eyes filled with alcohol-fueled rage, showed no signs of letting go. Instead, he applied more pressure.

“Ouch…” Tears welled up in Lin Xiangwan’s eyes due to the pain. She raised her hand to frantically hit him. “Let me go, let go of me now!”

Qin Muchuan grabbed her hands and guided her into a corner with minimal effort.

“What are you doing…” Lin Xiangwan was a bit scared.

Qin Muchuan pressed her against the wall, giving her a penetrating stare—it was as if he could devour her. “You know, you’re mine!”

Lin Xiangwan was first surprised then shook her head. “I can’t, let go of me!”

He didn’t loosen his grip, instead wrapping his arms around her even more tightly.

Qin Muchuan glared at her, spitting out words of accusation. “You love money, right? You love it a lot, right? I can satisfy all that for you!”

Lin Xiangwan felt deeply insulted, feeling the urge to cry. She knew she couldn’t cry. She had no special relationship with him. Crying would only be seen as a pretense. “Qin Muchuan, whether you have money or not is your own business and has nothing to do with me. Yes, I love money, but I get it by honest means. You have no right to judge me based on your assumptions!”

Qin Muchuan looked at her as she passionately defended her honor, and scoffed. “You talk tough, but to the best of my knowledge, that’s not the case!”

“What do you mean that’s not the case?” Lin Xiangwan angrily challenged.

She didn’t believe she had done anything reproachable. She would never tolerate slander.

Qin Muchuan sneered again. “I think you should know very well!”

“I don’t know!” Lin Xiangwan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Qin Muchuan leaned in close to her, his long and narrow eyes particularly dark and gloomy. He asked in a tone that was neither high nor low, “If a woman is subject to such suspicion, don’t you think she must have a questionable attitude? And you’re still asking me how? What should I say?”

“Just say it, speak!” Lin Xiangwan was so angry her eyes turned red.

Left with no choice, Qin Muchuan reluctantly asked, “Song Yichen is your boyfriend, so who is Hu Sen to you? Surely, your relationship is not just friendship, right? And now there’s Su Yueze? Is that right?”
