Chapter 194: A War
In the Rose Princess, two men glared at each other. Qin Muxuan felt embarrassed. ‘Just having a meal together? It seems that they are going to war.’
“Dabai, which one will be the winner, daddy or Uncle Yin?”
“Winner?”
Frowning, Qin Muxuan didn’t know what her son meant.
“They’re playing the Blockhead. The one who moves first will lose in the game.”
‘Well, it seems that they are really playing the game.’
The dishes were served. Qin Muxuan said to Qin Xiaobai, “Get them. Dinner’s ready.”
“You let her cook?” Yin Youting asked.
“I cook every day. Muxuan said you haven’t come here for a long time. You’re a guest, so she wants to cook by herself.”
Gu Zijin answered expressionlessly.
Yin Youting smiled, “It seems that Muxuan cares about me.”
“You wish. You’re her friend.”
Gu Zijin contradicted rudely. Though he didn’t have the impulse to punch Yin Youting on the face when he saw Yin Youting, things were still awkward between them. Gu Zijin was not a good-tempered man.
Qin Muxuan walked over, “Okay, help yourselves.”
“Okay, thank you.” Yin Youting hurried to say.
Gu Zijin scowled slightly. He held Qin Muxuan in his arms, “I’ll pay you off tonight.”
Blushing, Qin Muxuan murmured, “Gu Zijin, what are you talking about? We’re having dinner! Xiaobai’s here!”
Qin Xiaobai looked around uneasily and then asked innocently, “Dabai, can I eat in my room? I think I might feel hurt if I eat here.”
Qin Muxuan was speechless. Her hand supported her forehead, ‘Things get weirder.’
After finishing the meal, Yin Youting rose to his feet first, “Muxuan, the food’s tasty. I’ll wash the dishes.”
Gu Zijin spoke drily, “Sit down. That should not be done by a guest. We can handle by ourselves.”
Noticing they were at an impasse, Qin Muxuan proposed, “Then I will…”
“No way.” They blurted out at the same time.
Qin Muxuan was taken aback. She felt wronged, ‘I just wanna wash the dishes. Why do they look so fierce?’
In the end, Gu Zijin got the chance. He was cheerful as if he was the winner.
‘I made a bad decision! Why did I ask Yin Youting to have dinner here?’ Qin Muxuan thought to herself.
She felt awkward all night. It seemed that the two men could eat each other alive. By the way, they might swallow her down.
Qin Muxuan tried to slip away. She made a casual excuse, “Well, I need to accompany Xiaobai in his room. He’s supposed to go to bed.”
“Go to bed?” Gu Zijin pointed at the time in his phone, “It’s just half past seven.”
‘Why does Gu Zijin bring my trick to light?’
“Xiaobai’s exhausted.”
“Xiaobai’s grown up. If he’s tired, he will sleep alone.” Yin Youting echoed.
‘Fine. That means I can’t escape from here, right? Great!’
Qin Muxuan became discouraged. She sat there, listening to sarcastic words they threw at each other. The war did not die down until Yin Youting left.
She swore, ‘I will never ask for trouble!’
“Tired?”
“Yeah.”
Gu Zijin’s heart was stinging. ‘My loved one tries her best to improve the relationship between Yin Youting and me. I know that.’
‘But the things between men aren’t that simple. We should make it clear.’
“Are you going to bed?”
“I’m sleepy. After taking a shower, I will go to bed.”
Gu Zijin nodded with a smile, “Okay.”
On the other side of the city, Yan Yuxiao chortled blackly. Her expression turned gloomier. Fingernails stabbed into her palms.
“I can’t live a happy life. You’re not allowed to be joyful! Go to hell! All of you!”
…
“Yan Yuxiao’s house had a gas leak. She was in a coma. Our reporter says she’s fine now.”
Endless news overwhelmed Qin Muxuan. She stared at the words in her phone. She then turned to Gu Zijin who sat beside her.
“What’s wrong? Did anything happen to Yan Yuxiao? Did she commit suicide for the sake of the Yan family?”
Gu Zijin answered in a low voice, “Don’t worry. I will figure it out.”
“Mmm.”
Gu Zijin walked to the company. When he saw Lisa, her gloomy face confused Gu Zijin.
“What’s wrong?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Things changed dramatically these days.”
“Go ahead.”
Lisa explained, “You’ve been always supporting the Yan family, but they try to hurt you now.”
Netizens all talked about how viperous Gu Zijin was. They said he would achieve his goals by all means.
Besides, he acted in collusion with Qin Muxuan.
Yan Yuxiao chose to end her life at home because of countless blows.
The reason lay in the “fact” that Gu Zijin exacerbated Mr. Yan’s illness.
The rumor was ridiculous!
However, such hearsay became authentic after being spread by the press.
Mr. Yan’s illness got worse in a private hospital belonging to the Gu Group. Netizens focused on whether Gu Zijin played tricks behind this or not.
Lisa clicked the comment section for Gu Zijin, “You can take a look. These are comments from various online newspaper offices.”
“Okay.”
Gu Zijin took the phone. Numerous curses made him frown.
Netizen A said, “He got close to Yan Yuxiao in the name of engagement. After dragging the Yan family into the mud, he takes it over and lives a happy life with his lover. The president of the Gu Group really made an excellent plan!”
Netizen B wrote, “Mr. Gu, Yuxiao’s so miserable. Why can’t you let go of her? Her father’s hospitalized. She hardly escaped from death. Do you know you ruin her?”
Netizen C typed some words, “Did Qin Muxuan ask you to do so? She’s an evil bitch!”
Gu Zijin was outraged, throwing the phone away.
“Just ignore these. Rumors will die down.”
Lisa explained, “We know these are rumors, but netizens don’t understand. Yan Yuxiao’s in hospital at this time, which escalates the war.”
“Do those rumors affect our company?”
Lisa opened a data sheet of financial analysis, “Our company hasn’t been influenced dramatically in general, but the stocks have gone down.”
“Deal with it.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Zijin’s phone rang. Holding back his anxiety, he answered it.
“Hello, Muxuan.”
“Zijin, how is it going on now? I’m afraid that the company will be affected. The Yan family might put you in trouble…”
“Don’t worry. I can handle it easily.”
Qin Muxuan replied, “Okay.” In fact, she was worried about Gu Zijin. Though netizens fired at them, it was apparent that Gu Zijin took the brunt.
‘If Elderly Lady Gu knows that, what will she do?’ Qin Muxuan worried.
