Chapter 2: I Want Qin Xiaobai to Kneel Down
Gu Family was the imperial castle on the top of the mountain in the north of the city.
The luxuriant trees surrounded this solemn, luxurious and mysterious ancient castle, which revealed the unique splendor of the century-old clan.
At the moment, the man was sitting on the leather sofa by the window drinking coffee. The warm sunlight came through the huge French window and there were .
He sat quietly browsing the latest stock market quotation, and his long fingers ran across the screen. The golden light bounced on his shoulders, making him look like a god.
“Zijin.” He raised the head when hearing the sound and two elegant women came over.
Although they were old, the years did not leave many traces on their faces.
Gu Zijin’s mother Mrs. Gu helped Elderly Lady Gu to sit opposite him. Elderly Lady Gu continued to say, “Go and bring the little boy back later, so your grandpa can also leave in peace.”
Gu Zijin put down the things in the hand, “OK, grandma.”
Mrs. Gu added, “Bring back the child’s mother, too. He is still so young that it would be hard for him to leave his mother suddenly.”
When he thought of Qin Muxuan, Gu Zijin’s eyes flashed an inexplicable mood. He stood up, “I see. Don’t worry.” Then he left.
When he was far away, Elderly Lady Gu humped showing her dissatisfaction, “That kind of dirty woman who plays tricks to climb into a man’s bed is not worthy of being admitted by Gu Family!”
Mrs. Gu comforted her softly, “But the child is still too young, and he doesn’t know Zijin before. We have to bring back his mother. When he gets used to it, we’ll send his mother away.”
Elderly Lady Gu looked somewhat relaxed, but her tone was still disdainful, “If it weren’t for Zijin’s grandpa’s illness, how could that woman have a chance to enter the Gu Family?”
In those years, Qin Group suffered an economic crisis and was close to going bankrupt. They asked Gu Group for help. Gu Zijin was young and aggressive, and he naturally didn’t take Qin Group seriously. They didn’t expect that after Qin Family failed to seek help, they played tricks and made the daughter climb into Gu Zijin’s bed and wanted to threaten Gu Zijin into buying Qin Group.
After all, the Gu Family was rich and powerful. The media, which Qin Group bribed to disclose the story, turned against the Qin Group. So the tricks failed naturally.
Shortly before, Master Gu suddenly fell ill. His only will was that Gu Zijin could get married and have children. He hoped that there could be qualified successors of Gu Family.
However, Gu Zijin was all alone these years. He even didn’t have an affair. Feeling extremely helpless, Mrs. Gu thought of Miss Qin. Fortunately, that woman was pregnant and gave birth to a son that year.
It made sense to take back the descendant of Gu Family.
Mrs. Gu continued to persuade patiently, “Mom, after all, that is the child of Gu Family. No matter how unbearable his mother was, his body was left with the blood of Gu Family.”
“How can you be sure that’s Zijin’s child? Since that woman can send herself to the bed of Zijin, it’s also possible that she would climb to others’ bed for benefit!”
Mrs. Gu handed over a photo, “Mom, look. He is exactly like Zijin who was a kid. We can’t get it wrong.”
Elderly Lady Gu took the photo and looked at it. Finally, she was silent.
After a long time, she spoke again, “She gives birth to the child, but she conceals his existence. I am afraid that she has hatched a greater conspiracy. It’s really scary. Keep an eye on her when she comes in.”
Mrs. Gu didn’t think too much.
It’s not easy for a woman to have a child alone already, and it’s even harder to bring him up these four years all by herself.
“Mom, perhaps we have been thinking too much? If she really wanted to threaten us with the kid, why didn’t she do it four years ago? That might save the Qin Family. Moreover, not until I have done the special investigation did I find out the child. She hides him well.”
Elderly Lady Gu shook her head in disapproval, “You are too kind. When she was able to climb into a man’s bed for profit, she was no idler. Maybe she did it purposely so that you could find out the child. I’m not going to make life in Gu Family easy for such a calculating woman.”
……
On the other side, Qin Muxuan was taking Qin Xiaobai to the kindergarten.
For making an apology.
Lin Xiao’s family hadn’t arrived yet. The head teacher kindly reminded her again.
After a while, the crisp sound of high heels came closer and closer, and then, a burst of strong women’s perfume came in.
The door of the office was pushed roughly open, and Lin Xiao walked aggressively in front, followed by his parents.
After entering the door, Lin Xiao raised his finger proudly pointing at Qin Xiaobai, “It’s him who hit me.”
Qin Muxuan calmly looked at the couple. Lin Xiao’s mother wore coquettish makeup and his father was a paunchy middle-aged man with an oily face.
Their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at her.
The fragrance was so strong that Qi Xiaobai frowned, but he stood silently beside Qin Muxuan.
Before coming, he promised Qin Muxuan that if he didn’t want to apologize, he should keep silent.
Qin Muxuan spoke frankly at first, “I am Qin Xiaobai’s mother. I am sorry that my son beat your child. I really feel sorry.”
But Lin Xiao’s mother didn’t want to let her go, “Do you want to settle the problem just by saying ‘sorry’? I’m telling you that it’s impossible! Do you know what my husband does? You beat my beloved son. Do you think it can be solved as simply as this?”
Qin Muxuan replied without being humble or pushy, “Mrs. Lin, if your son gets hurt, I will afford all his medical expenses and mental damage compensation. What do you think of it?”
Lin Xiao’s mother seemed to hear a joke and she sneered. The irony in her eyes
became more obvious, “Do you offer to pay for it? You may not have understood the situation.” She curled up her lips and stretched out her foot, “Your salary for a month cannot even cover my shoes.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan half lowered down her eyelids, covered the embarrassment in the eyes, and said modestly, “Then what do you want to do?”
Lin Xiao’s mother looked at Lin Xiao dotingly, “Son, say it.”
Lin Xiao said he was beaten by Qin Xiaobai, but actually he didn’t get hurt. Yesterday when they were about to fight, the teacher arrived. Today his parents just came here to help him vent out anger.
Lin Xiao put his hands on his waist arrogantly, “I want Qin Xiaobai to kneel down for me.”
He had long been unhappy with Qin Xiaobai. All the children in the class liked to play with him and prasied him for his good look!
Qin Xiaobai clenched his fists and glared at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao’s mother smiled and looked at the mother and son frivolously, “My son says that if your son kneels down, the matter will be solved.”
“No way!” Qin Xiaobai could no longer bear it and his eyes were blood-red, “I didn’t do anything wrong. He abused me first. It’s impossible for me to apologize to him!”
“It’s ok if you don’t want to apologize.” Lin Xiao’s mother raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Muxuan in a meaningful way, “Oh, yes. Your boss and my husband are old friends. If your boss knows that his employee beat his friend’s son, and she refuses to apology, what will he do to you?”
She had checked on the mother and son before she came. They were really ordinary people.
Qin Muxuan went stiff suddenly.
Qin Xiaobai also felt stunned. He made trouble for her again.
Qin Xiaobai clenched his fists, straightened up his neck, and stood in front of Qin Muxuan, “I apologize.”
As a protector.
Lin Xiao was proud, “Kneel down.”
Qin Muxuan watched his straight back and heard his clear voice, “Da Bai tells me that the men have gold under their knees. I can apologize, but I won’t kneel for you.”
Outside the office, the man who was about to push the door open just heard the words and paused.
“Xiaobai,” Qin Muxuan stretched out her hand and took Qin Xiaobai’s small hand, standing beside him, “Mrs. Lin, I eat my word. You and your son don’t deserve an apology. As for my job, I can go and look for a new one. I’m sure that there will be a place for us no matter how many friends Mr. Lin has.”
