Shen Tinghe's eyes darkened; this woman was definitely going to use this incident to mock him.
But the next second, Lin Qingtong simply raised a work-related question in a serious tone, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"The afternoon schedule is already arranged. There are seven shopping malls to be inspected. Mr. Song, please take a nap early."
Lin Qingtong gave him a half-smile, then slenderly walked away in her high heels.
When patrolling the mall in the afternoon, Lin Qingtong learned her lesson and changed into comfortable sneakers.
Shen Tinghe was talking to the manager inside, while Lin Qingtong was casually strolling outside the mall when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away.
Her light blue maternity dress made her easily noticeable from afar, giving the impression that she was pregnant.
Lin Qingtong wasn't interested in Qi Huimin's appearance at all; she thought it was just a pregnant woman going out for a stroll.
It's nothing to be alarmed about.
Just as Lin Qingtong was about to look away, she saw Qi Huimin being pulled into a stairwell. The other person was tall and wearing a baseball cap, and looked like someone not to be trifled with.
Lin Qingtong looked at the stairwell door that was slammed shut, and finally stepped over it.
Regardless of whether Qi Huimin seduced Jiang Hao, the child in her womb is innocent.
Although the initial medical examination report showed that Jiang Hao's sperm survival rate was low, there was still a 7% chance of getting pregnant, but that was a one in a million chance.
When Lin Qingtong arrived outside the stairwell, she heard Qi Huimin's angry growl from inside.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I give you money so you'd never show your face in front of me again?"
The other person's voice was deep and somewhat cold.
“You only gave me 500,000, what can that do? I only played cards one night and it was all gone. Give me another million, and I guarantee I can break even this time.”
"Even if you don't care about me, at least think about the child. After all, I'm his father."
Qi Huimin panicked instantly, her voice filled with anxiety and anger.
"Didn't I tell you not to bring this up again?!"
"The child in my belly will only be Jiang Hao's, and will inherit everything from the Jiang family."
"If things are exposed, neither of us will be in good shape."
The other party seemed to see that Qi Huimin was angry, so their tone softened and became pleading.
"Then give me some more money, and I promise I will never bother you again, nor will I delay your plan to deal with Old Master Shen."
Lin Qingtong initially approached the situation with a "let's watch the show" mentality, after all, was the child really Jiang Hao's?
It doesn't seem to be very important to her.
But upon hearing the name of the old master of the Shen family, Lin Qingtong's heart tightened.
Qi Huimin is only in her twenties, while the old man of the Shen family is nearly eighty years old. How could they be related?
Just as Lin Qingtong was lost in thought, Qi Huimin and the man suddenly stopped talking, and faint footsteps approached.
Lin Qingtong immediately sensed something was wrong and tiptoed to the side, but there were only walls around her and nowhere to hide.
There was a door she could hide in, but when she pushed it, it wouldn't budge.
Lin Qingtong gripped her phone tightly, thinking that if the other party really found out it was her, she would simply expose them directly.
Although the Shen family may not believe what he said.
Just as the stairwell door was about to be opened, a long, slender finger suddenly pulled Lin Qingtong through a small door next to it.
The door was closed, completely cutting off any view from the outside.
The stairwell outside was opened, and Qi Huimin and the man came out, only to find that there was no one else outside.
Qi Huimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glared reproachfully at the man beside her.
"I only have 100,000 yuan on me right now. Take it or leave it."
The man hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, 100,000 it is, just give it to me."
After the man took the money and left, Qi Huimin followed him out of the mall.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingtong was pinned against the door of a small room by a tall figure.
The room contained a small bed and shelves, presumably a place for staff to rest.
Lin Qingtong frowned, using her hand to block the other person from approaching, and in the dim light around her, she made sure she could see who it was.
For a moment, Lin Qingtong paused, then smiled with captivating charm.
"Mr. Shen, didn't you just say you weren't concerned about me? Why are you suddenly playing the hero?"
Shen Tinghe stared dangerously at Lin Qingtong, his long, slender hands moving slowly as he discussed something, his voice carrying a hint of magnetism.
"Then open the door now, and you'll get out?"
Lin Qingtong leaned against the door, wrapped one arm around Shen Tinghe's neck, and gently teased him with the other.
"Mr. Shen, you really are a hypocrite."
The next moment, she could clearly sense something, and her smile widened.
Shen Tinghe said in a serious and frank manner, "It's just a physiological reaction, it doesn't prove anything."
But his hand had already slowly moved down, and wherever it touched, a tingling sensation accumulated, eventually turning into a heat wave that rushed towards Lin Qingtong.
Lin Qingtong's breathing quickened. In the dimly lit room, she began to indulge herself, recklessly enjoying everything she was experiencing.
In the darkness, Shen Tinghe and Lin Qingtong's phones rang again and again like a symphony.
When Lin Qingtong and Shen Tinghe reappeared in front of Qi Song, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and simply spoke seriously about the next steps.
Because of what happened earlier, Lin Qingtong stayed with Shen Tinghe and worked until 11 p.m.
When she returned to the Jiang family home, the surroundings were already silent, with only a dim light on.
