Seeing this, Qin Qinghan's heart tightened, but Night Wind Wu immediately said bitterly: “What are we having for dinner tonight? I'm starving, didn't even have lunch today.”
Hearing this, Qin Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was also filled with guilt. Today she was only thinking about work and completely forgot that Night Wind Wu and Jiang Hao hadn't even eaten lunch.
"I'm sorry, I'll go make dinner now." Qin Qinghan hurried into the kitchen, and soon the sound of chopping could be heard.
At this moment, Jing Si suddenly walked up to Night Wind Wu. Despite her young age, she could clearly feel how nice this uncle was to her, and how awesome he was.
So the little girl looked at him admiringly and said, "Uncle, are you sleeping on the couch again tonight?"
Seeing Jing Si come near him, Night Wind Wu immediately stubbed out the cigarette he had just lit. He smiled wryly and said, "That depends on whether your mom is merciful enough or not."
The little girl nibbled her lower lip and said obediently, "I can plead with Mom for you, but don't get your hopes up too high, okay?"
Hearing Jing Si was willing to say nice things for him, Night Wind Wu felt a warmth in his heart. He leaned down and kissed Jing Si's cheek, and was about to lift her onto his lap when he saw the little girl laugh and run away.
"Uncle, you smell bad. I'm going to do my homework." she said.
With that, Jing Si ran into the bedroom.
Night Wind Wu lifted his arm and sniffed himself, immediately frowning. He sighed, "I should've had Lin Qiang bring me a few more sets of camo uniforms. I haven't showered for two days and I’m still wearing the same clothes.”
...
In the living room of the Qin manor, Qin Guannan was leisurely sitting on the sofa, sipping tea.
Just then, Qin Fei rushed in and said incredulously, “Dad, Qin Qinghan actually landed a project with Feng Hao Construction.”
Hearing this, Qin Guannan was also shocked. Frowning, he asked, “Are you sure?”
With Qin Guannan's understanding of Feng Hao Construction, those who had been mingling in the underworld for many years were very difficult to deal with. Although the Qin family had some standing in Haihua City, Feng Hao Construction probably wouldn't think much of them.
Qin Fei sneered. “She probably used her body to get it. After all, with her looks, that Golden Leopard would never let her off so easily.”
Qin Guannan also nodded. “Hmm, who would've thought that wench still had some use. Now that the project is secured, you take over all her projects starting tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Qin Fei smiled sinisterly. “Does Father mean to fire Qin Qinghan directly? If so, she will have nowhere to turn and will have to beg you to marry her off to Zhang Ge.”
“But how do we justify stripping her authority after she landed a project with Feng Hao Construction?”
Qin Guannan snorted. “The Qin family will not accept a rapist as a son-in-law. So either she marries Zhang Ge, or she can go home and live with a rapist.”
Hearing this, Qin Fei sinisterly gave Qin Guannan a thumbs up.
...
The next morning, Night Wind Wu had slept on the cramped couch again. He was awakened by the sound of light footsteps.
Opening his eyes, he saw Qin Qinghan standing there in white pajamas.
Seeing Night Wind Wu awake, Qin Qinghan apologized, “Sorry for waking you up.”
Qin Qinghan had always been wary of Night Wind Wu and kept a certain distance from him, which made Night Wind Wu very uncomfortable. Because Qin Qinghan's attitude toward him was always as if he were an enemy.
But Night Wind Wu still smiled and said, “It’s okay, I don't have the habit of sleeping in anyway.”
At the same time, Night Wind Wu glanced back at the narrow couch under him. Lying on this shabby couch killed any desire to sleep in.
Qin Qinghan suddenly handed Night Wind Wu several bills and said in a complicated tone, “Here’s 500 yuan for you to buy clothes. After I get my commission...I’ll give you more.”
Qin Qinghan knew that friends like Night Wind Wu and Jiang Hao had just gotten out of jail and must be penniless. Even the camo uniforms he was wearing hadn't been washed for two days.
Seeing this, Night Wind Wu almost said he had money, but he still took the 500 yuan and grinned. “Thank you, honey!”
This was the first time his wife had given him money. He had to save it.
After breakfast, Qin Qinghan told her parents to watch the child while she went out. Today would be very busy with many things to plan.
"Honey, come home early. You promised we'd get our marriage certificate today." Night Wind Wu called out as she left.
Qin Qinghan, who had just reached the door, stumbled over the threshold when she heard Night Wind Wu's words.
Qin Qinghan had dressed up a bit today. Not only did she put on eyebrows, but she also dabbed on some lipstick, making her already stunning face even more charming.
Her grandfather and uncle had always ostracized her. Yesterday, with Night Wind Wu’s help, she had secured the Feng Hao Construction project. Surely their attitude toward her would improve a little?
Half an hour later, Qin Qinghan arrived at the Qin Group office building, only to be stopped by Qin Fei at the reception desk.
Seeing this, Qin Qinghan handed Qin Fei the signed contract and said, "Uncle, this is the contract between Qin Group and Feng Hao Construction. I need to organize a meeting, preferably to lead some executives to the Feng Hao Construction project department today.”
Hearing this, Qin Fei took the contract from Qin Qinghan and said flatly, “Now that the contract is signed, I'll give you two choices: One, kick that rapist out of your home and marry Young Master Zhang; two, take your stuff and go back home to keep living with a rapist.”
Bang!
Just then, a security guard threw down a box full of items.
Seeing this, how could Qin Qinghan not understand that Qin Fei was killing the donkey after finishing the grindstone? She had risked her life to sign the contract, yet he...was kicking her out of the company.
"Uncle, how could you..." Even someone as good-tempered as Qin Qinghan was furious at the Qin family's actions.
Qin Fei said coldly, “Qin Qinghan, as long as I marry into the Zhang family, the Qins will prosper even more. You can also be a rich madam in peace. I advise you not to miss this great opportunity.”
Hearing this, Qin Qinghan's eyes were full of disdain. Even after she brought the company such huge profits, they still wouldn't let her off the hook.
From beginning to end, they had only regarded her as a tool that could benefit the Qin family.
Although Night Wind Wu was a rapist and an underworld figure she detested, at least he really liked Jing Si. But if she married Zhang Ge, she could only abandon Jing Si.
So in her heart there was only the second choice.
Qin Fei continued, "Qinghan, your grandfather is doing this for your own good. Giving up Jing Si is still better than living with a rapist."
Qin Qinghan laughed self-deprecatingly, then directly picked up the box on the ground and turned to leave the Qin Group office building.
Qin Qinghan was smart enough to know that struggling further wouldn’t change anything, and might even get her kicked out by security. So leaving decisively was the best choice.
Qin Qinghan’s decisiveness made Qin Fei frown. He said sinisterly, "Your son crippled my son's legs. If I don't kill your whole family, how can I swallow this insult, Qin Fei?"
