You cheated, I divorced, why are you kneeling and begging me? - Chapter 54

Mrs. Lin had grown accustomed to shouting and making a scene at home over the years.

Now, hearing her husband speak so forcefully, she instantly shrank back and tearfully asked, “What do you mean? Are you defending that little tramp? Have you taken a fancy to her?”

Mr. Lin could hardly resist the urge to tear her mouth off for saying such things. Suppressing his anger, he explained, “All our distributors are terminating their contracts with us do you even realize that?”

Mrs. Lin hadn’t expected things to be so serious. “Ah, what should we do then?”

“What should we do? You tell me!” Mr. Lin grabbed his hair in frustration. “Use your brain and think, who in the entire city of Nan has that kind of power?”

Mrs. Lin froze. She wasn’t stupid. After thinking it over carefully, she realized that only a handful of people in Nan City could cause such a massive uproar, and the only one connected to them was Nan Xi.

Nan Xi was the eldest daughter of the Nan family, and Mu Yi Chen was her husband.

Whichever family got involved would make life extremely difficult for them.

“Could it be the Nan family and the Mu family?”

Mr. Lin snorted coldly. “Don’t go looking for trouble with Nan Xi anymore, and don’t provoke Qin Xiaozhe either. The warning from the Mu Corporation this time is already dangerous enough.”

After hanging up the phone, though feeling wronged, Mrs. Lin still told her daughter, “We’ve offended the Nan family and the Mu Corporation. Your father’s opinion is that we should endure it for now and not provoke Nan Xi or Qin Xiaozhe again.”

Lin Rufei lowered her head and sneered.

Why should she?

It was Qin Xiaozhe who had coaxed her and given her hope back then. Now he wanted to just drop her like that? How convenient.

After leaving the hospital, Lin Rufei found an excuse and headed straight to the Qin Corporation building.

The company’s financial loopholes and tax evasion had been reported. Qin Xiaozhe had no idea how the tax authorities had found out, but given the current situation, resolving it would likely be a complicated ordeal.

Just as he was racked with a headache, Lin Rufei barged in.

Seeing her, Qin Xiaozhe completely ignored her.

His cold demeanor made Lin Rufei’s heart sink, but she still put on a smile and walked over. “Xiaozhe, the baby is fine. Don’t worry.”

Qin Xiaozhe glanced at her stomach with no trace of concern. “What are you doing here?”

She already knew about his company’s financial issues and said, “Don’t you think it’s strange? Out of nowhere, your company’s financial loopholes and tax problems were discovered so quickly.”

Qin Xiaozhe looked at her warily. “What do you mean?”

“It was Nan Xi. She reported this data to the tax bureau she betrayed you.”

Hearing this, Qin Xiaozhe let out a cold laugh. “You suspect her?”

“It was her. She’s doing this to get back at you, Xiaozhe. All these years she’s been by your side, she was just gathering this information. Now that you’ve parted ways, she turned around and sold you out. She never truly loved you.”

Lin Rufei was certain that, upon hearing this news, Qin Xiaozhe would grow to hate Nan Xi.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xiaozhe roared angrily, “So what if it was her? All of this is because of you! You pushed her to do it!”

Lin Rufei was incredulous. “Me?”

It was clearly Nan Xi’s fault, what did it have to do with her?

“If it weren’t for you seducing me, why would I have parted ways with her? If it weren’t for you, Nan Xi would still be by my side. All of this is your fault.”

When Nan Xi was around, whether at home or in the company, she had been an incredibly capable assistant.

But ever since she left, Qin Xiaozhe felt increasingly hollow.

Whether at home or at the company, there was far too little warmth left.

If it weren’t for Lin Rufei suddenly returning, if she hadn’t deliberately pretended to be weak, how could he have gone to comfort her? How could he have hurt Nanxi?

Lin Rufei had thought that as long as she pinned the financial issues firmly on Nanxi, Qin Xiaozhe would despise her completely.

But she never expected that Qin Xiaozhe didn’t seem to care about these matters at all.

Instead, he kept blaming her for the problems.

Back then, it was clearly him who took the initiative to approach her and try to make her happy she hadn’t forced him.

Yet now, he was putting all the blame on her.

With tears in her eyes, Lin Rufei asked sadly, “Qin Xiaozhe, how can you think of me like this? I’m even carrying your child.”

Qin Xiaozhe sneered, “That child was also part of your scheme. If you want to give birth, go ahead. I can raise the child after it’s born.”

Lin Rufei was completely enraged. “Qin Xiaozhe, you’re going too far.”

“It’s you who shouldn’t have come back and ruined my life.”

After saying this, Qin Xiaozhe ordered someone to throw Lin Rufei out.

Lin Rufei left in disgrace, standing beneath the Qin Corporation building, trembling with anger.

“Nanxi, it’s all because of you! Why don’t you just die?”

Lin Rufei placed all the blame on Nanxi.

Now that Nanxi had married Mu Yichen, she thought she was something special.

Since Qin Xiaozhe didn’t want her anymore and she was suffering, Nanxi shouldn’t have it easy either.

Remembering that Nanxi wasn’t accepted by the Mu family’s patriarch, Lin Rufei immediately drove to the Mu family’s old mansion.

However, when she arrived at the Mu family’s gate and asked to see the patriarch, she was turned away by the servants.

The Mu family patriarch wasn’t someone just anyone could meet.

Just as Lin Rufei was at a loss, a middle-aged woman returned from outside.

Lin Rufei recognized her she was Mu Yichen’s mother, Xia Dan.

“Who are you?”

Lin Rufei smiled and said, “Hello, Auntie. My name is Lin Rufei. A friend asked me to come see him.”

Xia Dan glanced at the girl and mistakenly assumed she was a friend of Mu Chen’s. She went inside and relayed the message to Mu Chen.

After all, Mu Chen often brought different women home, and it wasn’t unusual for women to come looking for him. Xia Dan was used to it.

“Lin Rufei, my friend?”

Mu Chen had never heard of this woman’s name.

To falsely claim to be his friend he had to see for himself what kind of person she was.

Lin Rufei was invited inside.

Seeing Mu Chen, who bore a slight resemblance to Mu Yichen, she smiled and stepped forward. “You must be Mu Yichen’s uncle, Mu Chen, right?”

Mu Chen glanced at Lin Rufei disdainfully. “What kind of trash are you? How dare you claim to be my friend?”

Mu Chen’s tone was harsh, but Lin Rufei suppressed her anger and continued with a smile, “I know you don’t know me, Mr. Mu, but I’m here to propose a collaboration.”

Mu Chen ignored her and told the maid, “Throw her out!”

Seeing that she was about to be driven away, Lin Rufei quickly said, “Nanxi and I are mortal enemies.”

At these words, Mu Chen raised his hand to stop the maid.

He sneered as he walked up to Lin Rufei. “You dare to offend Mu Yichen’s woman?”

Lin Rufei already knew that Mu Chen and Mu Yichen were at odds. Naturally, Mu Chen would dislike anyone associated with Mu Yichen. Gathering her courage, she continued, “Nanxi is using Mu Yichen to target my family, the Lin family, and the Qin family. She’s harming our business, and we have no choice but to ask for your help, Mr. Mu.”

Mu Chen scoffed, “Why should I help you?”

“Nanxi has Mu Yichen protecting her, we have no other options left. As long as you’re willing to help me, Mr. Mu, I’ll do anything you ask in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen curled his lips into a mocking smile.
