threaten

That night, Lin Shanglu ran to Licheng to take Chen Nanxing away but failed. Qin Enyu also intervened, causing him to return to City B alone and in disgrace. This incident was like a fishbone stuck in Lin Shanglu's throat.

That day, Lin Shanglu became more and more upset as he sat on the plane flying back to City B. As soon as he landed, he rushed to the company and retrieved the list of Star SVIP customers overnight.

He personally stayed up all night to check one by one, but he couldn't find anyone with the surname Jiang who matched Qin Enyu.

The next day at work, Qi Feng was shocked to see his eyes full of red bloodshot. He was tactful enough not to ask about Chen Nanxing and tactfully persuaded him to take a rest.

However, Lin Shanglu declined his kindness and assigned Qi Feng the difficult task of checking Qin Enyu's identity information.

Qi Feng searched till he was scratching his head, searched everywhere, but he could not find anything. He only found the complete name "Jiang Zhixu".

This situation often means that this person has both money and power, and should not be underestimated.

Lin Shanglu was in a dilemma. He had a feeling that if he didn't take Chen Nanxing home now while she and Qin Enyu were still unfamiliar with each other, it would be hell if he tried to take her home after they got to know each other.

With a strong sense of crisis, Lin Shanglu worked even harder, and several blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth due to anxiety.

After working hard day and night, he finally stabilized the stock market of Star a week before the Chinese New Year, and the rumor that Su Qiao was pregnant with his child disappeared without a trace on the Internet.

"Mr. Lin."

Qi Feng handed a bouquet of blue hydrangeas and white gentian to Lin Shanglu who was sitting in the back seat.

That’s right, they came to Licheng again, and this time Lin Shanglu brought Qi Feng with him.

The blue and white flowers were a beautiful combination. Qi Feng, as the CEO's right-hand man, had spent a lot of time compiling a list of Chen Nanxing's preferences. He was 100% sure that Chen Nanxing would like this bouquet, but his beloved boss, Lin Shanglu, had his own ideas:

"Why don't you buy red roses? Is this flower shop sold out?"

There must be some, but as far as he knew, Chen Nanxing didn't seem to like gorgeous and charming flowers like red roses.

But who made Lin Shanglu the boss? The boss is the most important. Qi Feng immediately took out the flowers:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I'll go change it right away."

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were a lot of people and cars on the streets. Qi Feng was stuck in traffic all the way and had to wait for three or four traffic lights before he could get through.

After waiting for a traffic light twice again, Qi Feng finally got to the front of the line, ready to be the first to depart as soon as the green light came on.

Qi Feng had a habit of looking around while bored while waiting for traffic lights. Today, he unexpectedly saw Chen Nanxing in the crowd. He immediately turned around and told Lin Shanglu:

"Mr. Lin, the wife seems to be in front."

"where?"

Due to the limited vision in the back seat, Lin Shanglu searched for a long time but couldn't find where Chen Nanxing was. It was Qi Feng who had to point him in the direction.

"The one waiting for the traffic light on the other side."

Lin Shanglu moved his position and, with his excellent eyesight, saw Chen Nanxing and Jiang Zhixu standing next to Chen Nanxing in the crowd waiting for the traffic light opposite, as well as a man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, who looked very heroic. In the man's arms, he was holding a little girl who looked very much like Jiang Zhixu's mother.

At this time, the little girl was holding a bag of food in her hand. After the man said a few words, the little girl first took something out of the bag and gave it to Chen Nanxing, and then took out some and gave it to Jiang Zhixu. Judging from her body language, Jiang Zhixu seemed to have refused, and the little girl turned around and threw herself into the man's arms.

It was a happy scene, especially the naturalness and intimacy between Jiang Zhixu, the man and the little girl, which made anyone with eyes know that they were a family of three.

But the strange thing was that the little girl didn't look like the man holding her at all. Instead, she looked very much like a lawyer he knew - the second son of the Qin family, a top wealthy family.

Lin Shanglu was lost in thought. Qi Feng said "Huh?" and pointed at Chu Zhenghe and asked him:

"Boss Lin, is that Boss Chu from Country M holding the child?"

“…”

This is also a key point.

"Drive slower."

The green light came on and Chen Nanxing and the others came over. Lin Shanglu stared at Jiang Shiyu, comparing his facial features with that of the man to confirm his guess.

Following Lin Shanglu's instructions, Qi Feng slowed down his car to the minimum speed despite the deafening horns of the vehicles behind him.

The moment they passed each other, Lin Shanglu saw Jiang Shiyu's face clearly, and he had the answer in his heart.

"Assistant Qi, go to the airport and book the nearest flight back to City B."

Qi Feng was surprised by Lin Shanglu's change of heart:

"Mr. Lin, what about the wife?"

Compared to the gloomy face he had been wearing recently, Lin Shanglu now looked like a spring breeze:

"My wife will be back soon once I figure out a few things."

The gentleman from J City is indeed reliable, and Qi Feng's horoscope is indeed auspicious for him!

It only takes three seconds to sigh. After three seconds, Lin Shanglu decided to keep this lucky bag and work overtime this year:

"Assistant Qi, you need to stay in the company and work overtime this year."

"...Boss Lin, I..."

Qi Feng was hesitant. He had promised his girlfriend half a month ago that he would go back to her home to celebrate the New Year together and meet her parents at the same time.

Lin Shanglu had a new breakthrough and was in a good mood:

"In addition to triple overtime pay, I'll give you an extra 10,000 yuan bonus this year, and your monthly salary will be increased by 3,000 yuan next year. Don't forget to talk to the finance department when you get back. Any other questions?"

I can see my parents anytime, but I don't know when the opportunity for salary increase will come again. Qi Feng thought about the pressure of mortgage and chose to seize this hard-won opportunity:

"No, thank you, Mr. Lin!"

Anything that can be solved with money is a small matter. Lin Shanglu said "hmm" and turned his head to look out the window, admiring the unique scenery of Licheng as a coastal city.

Half a month later, Qin Enyu had just sent Chu Zhenghe back to Country M the day before. The next day, she woke up before midnight, a rare occurrence. She pushed open the door of the B&B and saw Lin Shanglu standing under a big tree and greeting her:

"Hello again, Boss Jiang."

“…”

————

"What would you like to drink, Mr. Lin? Tea or coffee?"

Lin Shanglu sat in the guesthouse's tea room, calmly saying, "I'm fine with anything."

He had no choice. Qin Enyu just made coffee. She placed the coffee in front of Lin Shanglu, turned around, took a cup of coffee and sat opposite Lin Shanglu.

Lin Shanglu slowly took the coffee Qin Enyu gave him and took a sip. After finishing the drink, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, and a devilish smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Boss Jiang."

Qin Enyu's mouth twitched: "No..." Don't be polite.

"Oh, yeah, no!"

"..." What the hell? It's so rude to snatch her words!

Did he take drugs yesterday? Or is this coffee poisonous? Can it really damage your brain?

Qin Enyu looked at the coffee suspiciously, thinking that if this coffee really had such miraculous effects, she would have to give Lin Shanglu a few more cups.

It would be best to poison him into a mentally retarded person.

Lin Shanglu was completely unaware of Qin Enyu's desire for coffee to poison him and turn him into a mentally retarded person. He stood up and slowly approached Qin Enyu:

"I think I should call you Miss Qin Jiu."

It's a pity that he can't be made mentally retarded by drugs.

"Don't get so close to me, I don't like it."

Lin Shanglu's approach offended her. Qin Enyu sat back in the recliner, her back steady. She kicked Lin Shanglu on the knee to force him to stay away from her, her attitude very indifferent:

"Mr. Lin, call it whatever you want. It's just a name, the same as a code name."

Lin Shanglu was kicked. He touched his knees in pain and sat down. The anger in his heart was also kicked out a little by Qin Enyu's kick, but when he thought of what he was holding in his hand, the anger disappeared and he even laughed.

"I admire Miss Qin Jiu's open-minded attitude."

"I almost forgot." After complimenting him, Lin Shanglu took out a red envelope and placed it on the table, pushing it towards Qin Enyu. "The last time I saw the child, I left in a hurry, so I'll give him a meeting gift today."

Qin Enyu glanced at the red envelope on the table, his mind working rapidly.

What did Lin Shanglu mean? Did he see Yi Yi? What did he know?

Qin Enyu had a bad feeling. She sat up straight, pushed the red envelope back, and tested it calmly:

"Mr. Lin, you're too polite. The child is still young and doesn't need this."

Lin Shanglu insisted on giving the red envelope to Qin Enyu:

"Yes, it's a small gift, not a token of respect, but just to express my gratitude. A few years ago, Hengxing was embroiled in a lawsuit. If Second Young Master Qin hadn't taken over, the loss to Hengxing would have been immeasurable."

If he were given a mirror, Lin Shanglu would find out how hideous he looked when he said this.

The speculation in his mind came to light during the tug-of-war between the two sides. In addition to knowing Yi Yi's existence, Lin Shanglu also learned about Yi Yi's life experience.

This is not difficult to guess. Jiang Shiyu looks 50% like Qin Enyu, and the remaining 50% is very similar to her biological father. There is an aggressiveness hidden in her gentleness that cannot be ignored.

Only those who have seen them both know how much alike they are as father and daughter.

Qin Enyu was not surprised as she had already had a psychological buffer period. She leaned back again, glanced at Lin Shanglu, and said nothing.

"Miss Qin Jiu, can you exchange them for an equal value?"

Lin Shanglu, who thought he had the initiative in the conversation, smiled even more deeply. He was confident of victory, as if he had predicted that Qin Enyu would not refuse:

"I'll pretend I haven't seen you and your daughter. Ask Nanxing to come back with me."

Qin Enyu also laughed: "Mr. Lin trusts me a little too much. Nanxing and I have only known each other for less than a month. How could she listen to me?"

Lin Shanglu seemed very keen to answer quickly: "She can."

He said this with great conviction, and then explained, "She relies on you very much and trusts you very much. She grew up in a difficult environment, so she cherishes every relationship that comes her way."

Qin Enyu was a person who couldn't sit still. After sitting for so long, she was already tired. She adjusted her sitting posture, put her arm on the right armrest of the rattan chair, and then leaned her entire center of gravity over there.

"Mr. Lin knows Nanxing well?"

Lin Shanglu touched the silver ring on his right ring finger and turned it in a circle:

"I've known her for seventeen years and been married for fourteen. No one in the world knows her better than I do."

You understand the truth, but you still insist on doing this. That's just rotten. Qin Enyu concealed the sarcasm on his face and went straight to the crux of Lin Shanglu's logic:

"Since you know her so well, how could you not know how much harm your betrayal would cause her?"

Otherwise, Qin Enyu said that Lin Shanglu was eloquent, but his own words were not logically consistent, so he jumped out of the broken logic circle and started another sophistry:

"Miss Qin Jiu, you were born into a wealthy family, so you should understand the rules of this circle better than I do. Which man in this circle is not unfaithful? There are many cases of abandoning wives and children, marrying 18-year-olds when they are 80, and allowing illegitimate children to bully their original wives. In my opinion, I was just playing around outside and never thought about divorcing Nan Xing."

"No divorce?"

Qin Enyu took a sip of coffee, then looked at Lin Shanglu with interest:

"Mr. Lin wants to have a child so much, and now Su Qiao is pregnant. How will it end if Mr. Lin doesn't divorce Nan Xing? The name of illegitimate child is not good."

She asked this question with the intention of mocking Lin Shanglu, but she didn't expect that Lin Shanglu would actually think of this.

"Nanxing's body cannot get pregnant. She will never be a mother again in this life. If Nanxing is willing, I can bring Su Qiaosheng's child back for her to raise."

"One child, two mothers? Mr. Lin's parenting philosophy is very advanced."

The word "scumbag" is a compliment when used to describe him. Qin Enyu put the coffee in her hand back on the rattan table. She was afraid that the coffee would be spilled on Lin Shanglu's face and be wasted.

"No, the child will only have Nanxing as his mother."

Lin Shanglu said firmly, Qin Enyu said "Oh", but the smile did not reach his eyes:

"Let's not talk about whether Nanxing agrees to this or not. Does Su Qiao agree?"

Lin Shanglu remained confident: "Ms. Qin Jiu, I won't say anything I can't do. I said the child will only have Nanxing as a mother, and I will definitely not let Su Qiao interfere."

Shameless person!

The mocking smile on Qin Enyu's face disappeared. Lin Shanglu deserved to die for cheating on his wife, but he deserved even more death for depriving a mother of her rights and imposing them on another victim in an attempt to erase the harm he had caused her.

Qin Enyu no longer played along with Lin Shanglu and completely turned against him:

"That's nonsense! Get out!"

Qin Enyu's expression changed quickly, and Lin Shanglu's expression also turned gloomy in an instant:

"Miss Qin Jiu, do you mean there's nothing more to discuss?"

"roll."

Qin Enyu picked up the cup again and looked at Lin Shanglu warily. If Lin Shanglu dared to take a step forward, she would splash the coffee on his face.

Things didn't develop as Lin Shanglu expected. He stood up with a thud, a sinister look in his eyes, and every word he uttered was full of threats:

"Okay, Miss Qin Jiu, don't regret it."

Qin Enyu snorted and laughed, holding the handle of the cup with his hand ready to go.

The coffee still didn't get poured on Lin Shanglu's face, because Lin Shanglu stormed off after making those harsh words.
