Chapter 10 If You Have The Guts Then Repay It With Your Life

  • Qin Shuhan was puzzled. Since when did I have such capabilities?
  • “Why will you lose your job if I leave?” Qin Shuhan asked.
  • The supervisor said, “When the president found out that I acted on my own and sent you away, he got furious. He even said that I would be fired if I do not bring you back to the company. Hanhan, I know that it was my fault. I can assure you that I will not bully you again. Please come with me.”
  • “Does the president know me?” Qin Shuhan questioned.
  • The supervisor shook her head. “I don't know.”
  • Still, it felt like something was amiss. Just then, Qin Shuhan suddenly recalled what Qin Suer had said in the morning and asked, “Is the president Qin Suer's fiancé?”
  • “Yes.” The supervisor nodded. Doesn't the whole Yun City know about this matter?
  • Qin Shuhan finally understood why Qin Suer was so angry. It seemed like she was upset that Qin Shuhan was working in Diye Group.
  • “Okay, I will return. Tomorrow I will come back to work. However, my workload...”
  • “I will assign three more staff to help you!” The supervisor did not wait for Qin Shuhan to finish. She happily held up three fingers and swore. After she left, Qin Shuhan closed the door.
  • Meanwhile, the phone in her room was ringing non-stop. There were a dozen missed calls and invitations to a video call, and they were all from Qi Sihuan. Feeling frustrated, Qin Shuhan deleted the entire call history and clicked on the video call option with Tiantian.
  • The video had just been connected when the boy's pitiful voice was heard. “Mommy, why did you take so long to answer? Tiantian misses you.”
  • “I was busy. I will pick you up tomorrow, okay?” Qin Shuhan gently asked.
  • Qin Tiantian played with his fingers. “Grandma Feng has no one to accompany her. She is so pitiful. Today, I told her that her son was useless, and she almost gave her son a beating.”
  • “How can you say something like that? It is very rude. Do not say those things again.” Qin Shuhan was surprised by her little boy and quickly educated him.
  • Qin Tiantian obediently made a sound in acknowledgment and then said, “However, I was not wrong. I heard Grandma Feng say that her son is so old but is unable to produce a child. Even the doctor said that he was unwell, but he ignored it. I guess he must be very sick, poor Grandma Feng.” Tiantian paused for a moment and asked, “Mommy, should we ask godfather to treat her son?”
  • “But… your godfather is a surgeon!” Qin Shuhan said.
  • Qin Tiantian innocently blinked. “Can't a surgeon treat him?”
  • “He needs to go to the Andrology Department.” Qin Shuhan's face flushed slightly as her cheeks turned rosy red.
  • However, on the other end of the phone, Qin Tiantian was even more confused. “Is the andrologist different from a surgeon?”
  • “Tiantian, just be a good boy, and don't ask so many questions. Mommy will fetch you tomorrow,” Qin Shuhan said warmly.
  • Qin Tiantian reluctantly hugged the pillow and nodded. “Okay, I will wait for you.”
  • After hearing Tiantian saying his goodbyes, Qin Shuhan smiled and hung up. She washed up and was prepared to head to bed when she received a call from Hu Meifeng. Her intention to sleep disappeared immediately. She could guess that Hu Meifeng wanted to tell her that she was an ungrateful brat who destroyed Qin Suer's future and bullied her. Knowing her, she was probably wishing for Qin Shuhan's death.
  • Qin Shuhan had a determined look on her face when she directly cut the call off. Before she found out who Tiantian's biological father was, she would not leave.
  • Meanwhile, Hu Meifeng's face turned red with anger. She had nowhere to vent her pent-up emotions, so she turned to Qin Suer and said, “You were right. Qin Shuhan is an ungrateful brat. If I knew that she would turn out like this, I would have left her out in the streets.”
  • “Mom, she is working at Feng Lanhe's company, and she is still investigating the matter from six years ago. If she uncovers the truth, what should I do?” Qin Suer tugged at Hu Meifeng's hand in panic.
  • “Madam Feng never liked me. If she knew that she has a grandson, she would definitely bring Qin Tiantian home. It is possible that she would make Lanhe marry Qin Shuhan too. If that happens, what should I do? I will become the joke of Yun City, and I will probably be better off dead then.”
  • Hu Meifeng's heart ached. She pulled Qin Suer into her arms and comforted her, “Don't worry, I will not let that day come. Tomorrow I will look for Qin Shuhan. I was the one that adopted her, so her life belongs to me. I will not let her be a stumbling block to your happiness.”
  • With her mother's guarantee, a smile finally returned to Qin Suer's face.
  • The next day, Qin Shuhan, who had rested the entire night, headed to the office early in the morning. The supervisor was extremely happy. She ordered the staff, who were originally in charge of taking inventory of the goods, to help Qin Shuhan with her workload.
  • Overall, it was still considered relaxing for Qin Shuhan. She worked the entire morning. At noon, she was about to head home when her phone rang.
  • “I am at your office. Come out,” It was Hu Meifeng, and she spoke in an authoritative tone.
  • Qin Shuhan clutched her phone tightly as she recalled the words that Hu Meifeng had said to her six years ago. “I have nothing to say to you.”
  • “If you don't come out, I will go in. If your colleagues overhear our conversation, don't put the blame on me,” Hu Meifeng threatened and hinted about the incident that happened six years ago.
  • For a woman, her innocence was of utmost importance.
  • A worried look crept up Qin Shuhan's gorgeous face, and she gritted her teeth. “Okay.”
  • They met at a western restaurant beside Diye Group. Hu Meifeng was dressed in branded clothing and wore sunglasses and a hat. She covered half of her face as though no one would recognize her in that outfit.
  • When she saw Qin Shuhan, she could not help but scan her appearance from head to toe. She sneered, “It's been six years. How did you end up like that? Even if you sell all the clothes you are wearing, it won't be enough to buy Suer a pair of socks. Who gave you the courage to return to Yun City?”
  • Qin Shuhan did not back down, and she said, “You don't need to worry about me. However, you need to watch out for retribution for all the things that you and your daughter have done all these years.
  • Hu Meifeng was infuriated. “Who are you to talk to me like that!”
  • Her high-pitched voice was so loud that it attracted other diners’ attention. For a moment, she forgot that they were in a high-end western restaurant with a quiet environment. Hu Meifeng, who realized that she had overreacted, quickly lowered her voice. “I don't want to waste my time with you. I only have one request. Leave with your child. Since you look so pitiful, I can give you fifty grands as compensation.”
  • Hu Meifeng seemed like she was trying to get rid of a beggar. She took out a bank card and threw it on the table snidely, as if Qin Shuhan was some disgusting vermin.
  • But Qin Shuhan did not spare a glance at the card, and she ridiculed, “You disregarded my life for money six years ago, yet you want me to listen to you now? Fifty grands are not even enough for beggars. If you are sincere, then pay me back with your life.
  • Having said that, she broke the card in half. The crisp and distinct crack sound angered Hu Meifeng. She took off her sunglasses and looked at Qin Shuhan in disbelief. “Looks like you are asking for trouble!”
  • Ignoring her words, Qin Shuhan got up and turned to leave.
  • Since Hu Meifeng did not achieve her purpose, she refused to let Qin Shuhan leave. Thus, she rushed forward to tackle her.
  • At the end of the corridor, Chen Yan was walking alongside Feng Lanhe while reporting to him. When suddenly, Feng Lanhe stopped in his tracks and froze as something appeared to have caught his eye. Out of curiosity, Chen Yan followed his cold gaze and was surprised to see Qin Shuhan there.
