Soon, Cao Xiangrong came over and opened the door. âWhy are you looking for
me? Arghâ¦â
Before Cao Xiangrong could finish his sentence, Qin Mucheng punched him in
the face.
âQin Mucheng, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?â He covered his face and looked at Qin Mucheng in disbelief.
Qin Mucheng sneered and took a step forward. He closed the hotel door behind
him.
Cao Xiangrong frowned and slowly moved back. âHow did I offend you?â
Qin Mucheng clenched his fists.
âIs it because of Gao Qionghui? Sheâs just a friend of your wifeâs, and your wife doesnât lack a friend. Besides, I gave her a lot of breakup feesâ¦â
Qin Mucheng did not say anything and punched her again.
Cao Xiangrong wanted to block it, but he was no match for Qin Mucheng.
He was either in a womanâs bed or in a bar all day.
He was knocked onto the bed by Qin Muchengâs punch. He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth and the blood on his hand.
âQin Mucheng, youâre really crazyâ¦â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI always thought that you couldnât control your lower body, so you played with my wifeâs friend. I didnât expect you to look down on my wife. My wife is a nouveau riche? What will happen to me sooner or later?â Qin Mucheng asked
with a cold face.
Cao Xiangrong was also stunned.
He cursed in his heart.
Gao Qionghui must have overheard him and told Qin Mucheng about it.
He was not stupid. Why would he badmouth Ji Yuanyuan in front of Gao Qionghui?
He must have been drunk, or Gao Qionghui had overheard him on the phone.
At the thought of this, Cao Xiangrong immediately retorted. âSlander. This is all Gao Qionghuiâs slander. She wants to destroy our brotherhood. Qin Mucheng, you didnât really believe her, did you?â
Gao Qionghui had no evidence to prove that he really said that.
As long as he was tougher, Qin Mucheng had no reason to believe Gao Qionghui and not him.
â â Cao Xiangrong, do we have any brotherly feelings?â Qin Mucheng sneered.
âDonât appear in front of me in the future.1
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Cao Xiangrong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with lingering fear. When he looked up, he realized that Qin Mucheng had stopped at the door.
His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, âCould it be that Qin Mucheng hasnât hit him enough?â
He subconsciously shivered.
â â Also, if I hear you talking nonsense from others in the future, it wonât be something that can be solved with two punches.
After Qin Mucheng said this, he left.
Cao Xiangrong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the door closed. He lay down on the bed.
The wound at the corner of Cao Xiangrongâs mouth was aching. The more Cao Xiangrong thought about it, the angrier he got.
âGao Qionghui, that stupid woman. She only knows how to ruin things!â He mocked himself. âI thought she was someone I could play with. I didnât expect her to be so sticky. If I had known earlier, I wouldnât have provoked her.
What a troublemaker.â
When Qin Mucheng returned home, Ji Yuanyuan had already returned.
Cheng Shuqin probably took Tangtang to take an afternoon nap. Ji Yuanyuan sat alone on the sofa in the living room, lost in thought.
Ji Yuanyuan only came back to her senses when she heard Qin Muchengâs voice. âMom said you went to look for Cao Xiangrong?â She looked at Qin Mucheng and asked curiously.
âYes.â Qin Mucheng nodded.
âWhat is it?â Ji Yuanyuan asked casually and shouted into the kitchen, âAunt
Wu, Mucheng is back.â
âWait a moment,â Aunt Wu replied. âThe food will be ready soon.â
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng and waited for his answer.
Qin Mucheng paused for a moment and answered honestly, âI went to beat Cao Xiangrong up.â
âBeat him up?â Ji Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows. âAre you hurt?
After she finished speaking, she sized Qin Mucheng up from head to toe. Qin Mucheng shook his head. âNo. Cao Xiangrong couldnât retaliate. He didnât dare to either.â
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Mucheng was not injured. âWhy bother? In the end, the Gu family and the Cao family are the ones who are embarrassed. If we loses this loan, Cao Xiangrong will probably have a hard time at home.â
Qin Mucheng looked at Ji Yuanyuan and whispered, âI didnât hit him for this.â
He turned around and went to wash his hands.
Ji Yuanyuan stood rooted to the spot and thought for a moment, but she still could not understand what Qin Mucheng meant.
âNot for this?â Ji Yuanyuan asked softly when Qin Mucheng returned.
âLin Nan told me. No one can say bad things about you, not even behind your backâ Qin Mucheng looked at Ji Yuanyuan seriously. âI have to let them know that you, Ji Yuanyuan, represent me and the entire Qin family. Whoever goes against you is going against me and the Qin family.
So, did Qin Mucheng do it for her?
Ji Yuanyuan was touched. She took a step forward and held Qin Muchengâs hand. âHubby, thank you.â
She would not tell Qin Mucheng that hitting Cao Xiangrong was unnecessary. Qin Mucheng did not do this because he wanted to hear her say something that she did not mean.
Qin Mucheng would be happier if she said something nice to him.
Moreover, Cao Xiangrong was indeed asking for a beating.
He looked down on her and even spouted nonsense in front of others. He was actually slapping Qin Mucheng in the face.
upon hearing Ji Yuanyuanâs words, Qin Mucheng looked a little uncomfortable. â â Whatâs there to thank me for? Youâre being too polite with me.â
just as Ji Yuanyuan was about to speak, Aunt Wu suddenly came out of the kitchen with dishes.
She stopped talking and sat down beside Qin Mucheng.
âYou didnât eat lunch either?â Qin Mucheng was a little surprised.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. âYes. Gao Qionghui made a scene again at noon. I havenât had time to eat yet.â
Aunt Wu placed the dishes on the table and returned to the kitchen, ji Yuanyuan then looked at Qin Mucheng. âWhatâs the Gu familyâs attitude now? Is there no hope of getting a loan?â
Qin Mucheng shook his head. âIt just happened yesterday. The Gu family was caught off guard. They probably hadnât thought of how to deal with it yet. Since yesterday, no one from the Gu family has shown up. However, I reckon that Gu Zhiyan wonât take it lying down. In public, Gao Qionghui clearly said that Cao Xiangrong had betrayed Gu Zhiyan. If they continue this marriage, the Gu family will inevitably be laughed at in the future.
âAs for the loan,â he said hesitantly after a pause, âthe Gu family probably wonât consider Shenghe again with this relationship. However, you donât have to worry. The Gu family isnât the only bank in B City. Dad and I will handle it.
Donât worry.â
Ji Yuanyuan did not say anything else and lowered her head to eat.
After dinner, it was already past one oâclock. They guessed that Tangtangâs lunch break was about to end, so they didnât go upstairs.
At two oâclock, Tangtang woke up.
Ji Yuanyuan helped her daughter get dressed and brought her to the zoo nearby with Qin Mucheng.
It was Tangtangâs first time at the zoo. She had only seen it on TV before. Therefore, she was curious about everything, just like Granny Liu when she entered Grand View Garden.?
