Jing Zhimei leaned against the headboard, radiating an icy and sinister aura. The gauze wrapped around her forehead and her pale complexion from excessive blood loss didn’t incite any rage in her after learning about the incident, rather she leaned there, her expression dark and silent.
"It was him, it must have been him, only he has the capability." Jing Zhimei said coldly, looking at Mo Haoxuan standing not far from her.
Mo Haoxuan walked up to Jing Zhimei and sat beside her on the bed, "Now you must understand that I am the one who loves you the most."
Jing Zhimei’s hands, resting on either side of her, clenched tightly.
Seeing her , Mo Haoxuan smiled slightly, "I will always be by your side, I am your strongest support."
He lifted his hand to touch her hair, and when she tried to dodge, Mo Haoxuan pretended not to notice.
"You should just stay at home and rest for this period. I will handle these matters. Once the storm passes, I will make arrangements." Mo Haoxuan kissed Jing Zhimei on the forehead and then stood up to leave.
After Mo Haoxuan left, Jing Zhimei wiped her forehead fiercely, closed her eyes, and hid her hatred and pain.
She was supposed to be the envied top socialite, Jing’s daughter, Jing Zhimei, but now she had become an object of everyone’s scorn. No, how could this be?
Who on earth was it? Who wanted her dead? Or was it just a warning?
Mo Yunchen? No, it wasn’t him, was it?
It must be her! Definitely her! Qin Qin, I, Jing Zhimei, will never coexist with you peacefully! It’s a fight to the death!
A month later, in November, as the weather gradually grew colder, Jingdu City began to see snow approaching December.
Haven’t seen Qin Qin for a long time, Qin An took Lee Fong to Jingdu City, and Qin Qin drove out to pick up Qin An and Lee Fong.
At the sight of Qin An’s ruddy face, Qin Qin’s eyes reddened slightly, and she stepped forward to embrace Qin An.
Qin An was startled by his daughter’s gesture and quickly comforted her, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or have you been wronged? Tell Daddy!"
Qin An missed his daughter too, just couldn’t say it out loud. This time, Qin Qin made up an excuse to invite the two to travel to Jingdu City, and they decided to come after thinking it over for a day.
Seeing his daughter with slightly red eyes, Qin An tenderly patted Qin Qin’s shoulder.
On the side, Lee Fong smiled gently. During the three or four months Qin Qin had been in Jingdu City, she’d call every few days, and from time to time, she would send some nice things from Jingdu City back home, making many neighbors envious of her for having such a good stepdaughter. Lee Fong was also particularly gratified to have married Qin An.
"No, I just missed you."
Qin Qin looked at Qin An, seeing that he seemed a bit younger than before, and smiled contentedly towards Lee Fong, "Aunt Lee, thank you for your hard work."
"It’s no trouble at all!" Lee Fong shook her head. She truly wasn’t troubled. Now, she felt happy and content, with a husband who adored her and a stepdaughter who was especially kind to her. She was more than happy; how could she possibly feel troubled?
"Okay, let’s get in the car; it’s quite cold outside."
Qin Qin tried to take Qin An’s luggage, but he refused.
"Dad, why bring so much stuff with you here?" Qin Qin asked with concern, seeing that Qin An’s luggage was quite heavy.
"These are special local products from Chuandu City, and your Aunt Lee specifically made some things for you, all the stuff you used to love to eat. We were afraid you hadn’t had any for a long time and might be missing it, so we brought some. Who knew it would fill the luggage? But it’s not troublesome to take on the plane."
Qin An laughed heartily and scratched his head.
Qin Qin smiled gently, her heart brimming with warmth.
"Okay, I’ll make sure to eat it all."
After picking up Qin An, he was taken to the apartment, where they placed the luggage in a prepared room.
Qin An and Lee Fong looked around the apartment’s decor; although it was smaller than the villa in Chuandu City, it was obviously much more luxurious.
"Qinqin, this place must have cost a lot of money, right? You’ve also worked hard to earn this money, so you need to be more frugal. If it’s not enough, your Aunt Lee and I still have the money you sent back—we haven’t spent it and have saved it for you."
Qin Qin took Qin An’s hand and said softly, "It’s not expensive, Dad. Your daughter can earn quite a bit now and can provide a good life for you and Aunt Lee. You mustn’t hesitate to spend the money I send you, alright?"
"Hungry, right? I’ll take you out to eat."
Just before noon, Qin Qin took Qin An and Lee Fong to Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance, booking a private room and ordering many of Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance’s signature dishes.
Manager Zeng personally served Qin Qin, who gestured for her to leave.
With someone standing there, Qin An and Lee Fong would certainly not feel comfortable eating.
Manager Zeng took two of Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance’s waiters and left.
