Chapter 276: Making a Fuss
It was the next morning. A ray of light jumped into the ward through a window.
Qin Muxuan was speechless. Staring at Jian Xi who was nervous, she said helplessly. “Jian Xi, I’m okay.”
“No way. The doctor said you should be hospitalized for a week. If everything’s fine, you can leave.” Jian Xi scowled. She looked concerned.
Since Qin Muxuan became conscious, Jian Xi had taken her to go through various examinations. The patient had planned to leave the hospital because her report showed that there was nothing wrong. However, the doctor suggested that she be hospitalized until her condition was stable.
“Mommy should listen to the doctor.” Advised Qin Xin solemnly. The kid gazed at her mother as if she was an adult.
Qin Muxuan sighed inwardly. They were determined, so she had to consent.
“Got it.”
Hearing that, Qin Xin beamed.
Jian Xi rested assured after Qin Muxuan agreed. It seemed that something popped up in Jian Xi’s mind, which made her pause for a while. She then spoke to Qin Muxuan. “I almost forget about that. Jian Xin might come here.”
Jian Xi’s words stunned Qin Muxuan. The patient didn’t expect that they would make such a fuss.
“Has Youting gotten the news?” Qin Muxuan didn’t plan to tell Yin Youting she was in the hospital. However, she speculated that it was him that had asked Jiang Xin to come here.
“Of course! It’s such a big deal. Mu Ming called him last night.” Jian Xi could figure out what Qin Muxuan was thinking, but she supported Yin Youting this time.
“When will Jiang Xin arrive?” Qin Muxuan sighed helplessly.
“After an hour.” Jian Xi checked the time on her phone, replying slowly.
Qin Muxuan nodded. However, she didn’t expect that Mu Ming would tell Yin Youting.
“What happened yesterday? It was so serious this time.” Scowling, Jian Xi had been worried about Qin Muxuan, but she hadn’t asked the reason.
Hearing the question, the patient became downcast. Her eyes stopped shining. She moved her lips, but paused for a while. “The purchaser is Gu Zijin.”
A bitter smile appeared on her face. It had been three years, but she couldn’t escape from him.
Hearing that, Jian Xi was dumbfounded. She couldn’t believe that. Although she guessed it had something to do with Gu Zijin, she didn’t expect that.
“How could it be? Does he know it was you?” Jian Xi asked perplexedly.
In effect, Qin Muxuan hadn’t figured it out. However, she was worried that Gu Zijin realized that she was alive. Thinking of that, Qin Muxuan frowned.
“I don’t know. I might have signed the contract if Youting hadn’t called me yesterday.” Qin Muxuan freaked out about that. Even if Gu Zijin didn’t know it was her, they would meet once the contract was signed. He would find out the truth in the end.
‘What’s worse, Lawyer Mu mentioned that Gu Zijin planned to visit me.’ Considering that, Qin Muxuan fidgeted.
“Xuan, what would you do if he knows the truth?” Jian Xi asked worriedly.
‘What would I do?’
Qin Muxuan didn’t make a plan. ‘The only thing I can do is to hide if he knows the truth. But does it work?’
Qin Muxuan turned to Jian Xi in confusion.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that, Jian Xi sighed. “Xuan, have you thought about telling him the truth? He might have difficulties in the past.” Somehow, Jian Xi sensed that there might be a misunderstanding between Gu Zijin and Qin Muxuan.
Although Jian Xi didn’t know Gu Zijin well, she realized that Qin Muxuan couldn’t hide from him for the rest of her life.
Hearing that, Qin Muxuan was petrified. ‘Tell him the truth?’
She shook her head. “That won’t work.” Said Qin Muxuan bitterly. ‘Right. Gu Zijin has married Yan Yuxiao. Xiaobai also thinks I am dead.’
‘It’s weird to tell them I’m alive after three years.’
Jian Xi moved her lips, pondering that Qin Muxuan was right. ‘It’s too late to make it clear. After all, three years has passed.’
Jian Xi didn’t say anything. Qin Muxuan was able to make her own decision.
Silence reigned in the ward out of the blue. However, Qin Muxuan’s phone suddenly broke the silence. She took the phone from the table. In the next moment, she frowned after seeing the caller ID.
‘Why does Ms. Mu call me now? Because of the cooperation?’
Qin Muxuan hesitated for a while. In the end, she didn’t answer the phone call. Instead, the phone was again placed on the table. Noticing that, Jian Xi asked. “Why not answer it?”
“It’s the lawyer.”
Hearing that, Jian Xi knew the reason. It seemed that Qin Muxuan refused the cooperation yesterday. At this moment, the lawyer called for that.
However, Lawyer Mu seemed to be so stubborn that she didn’t give up. The sound rose again after ceasing for a while. It seemed that the small box wouldn’t stop ringing until Qin Muxuan picked it up.
She had no choice but to answer.
As soon as the patient picked it up, Lawyer Mu’s voice rose. “Thank God, you finally answer. Ms. Qin, sorry for bothering you. Could you please give me a chance to discuss our cooperation?”
“Ms. Mu, sorry. I think I made it clear last time. The cooperation is cancelled.” After saying that, Qin Muxuan was about to hang up.
Mu Xue hastily stopped Qin Muxuan. “Wait! Mr. Gu raised the price. The contract value will increase to 150 million. Please reconsider it, Ms. Qin.”
‘The reason that Qin Muxuan cancelled the cooperation must have been the price. She plans to demand an exorbitant price. Now the price is 150 million. Only a moron will give up the chance.’
However, Qin Muxuan didn’t sway after hearing that. She was pretty firm about that.
“Ms. Mu, it has nothing to do with the price. Please inform Mr. Gu that I won’t sell the Qin Group no matter how much he pays me.”
Qin Muxuan ended the call immediately after finishing her words.
“Ms. Qin? Ms. Qin?” Mu Xue asked hastily. However, only an accelerating series of beeps answered her.
Mu Xue cast away her phone downheartedly. She rubbed her brow with hands. ‘God! What’s wrong with her? Things get tricky.’
‘Qin Muxuan was eager to sign the contract before we met. Why did she eat her words suddenly?’
Mu Xue closed her eyes in a huff.
‘If I had known that, I wouldn’t have talked big before Gu Zijin. Well, I will be sent back to the Mu Family if I fail.’
Mu Xue had been away from the Mu Family for a few months. She treasured this opportunity to prove that she could earn her living without their help. The woman was unwilling to yield.
‘I’ve been free for less than half a year!’
Mu Xue was upset, but she couldn’t figure out a solution.
She scanned the name list in her phone. After hesitating for a while, she dialed.
“Hello, my dear brother. Are you available now? Would you like to have a cup of tea with me?”
It seemed that the person on the other side of the phone consented. Mu Xue hung up and strode out with her bag on the shoulder.
Half an hour later, two persons met in a café down the building of the Mu Group.
Staring at Mu Xue who sat opposite him, Mu Ming raised his eyebrow. “Say it out. What do you need this time?”
Mu Ming always knew what his sister was thinking. Noticing that, Mu Xue grinned. “Well, you know me.”
Qin Muxuan could never expect that Mu Xue was Mu Ming’s younger sister.
The man gazed at the woman helplessly. “Phew… But I won’t help you this time no matter what you say.” He said slowly.
“Are you kidding? Don’t you stand by me?” Mu Ming’s words upset Mu Xue. She begged. Her big eyes showed a pleading look.
Whenever Mu Xue lost her temper and ran away from home or argued with her parents, Mu Ming had always supported her. Therefore, he kept cleaning up her mess these years.
“You should go back to our company if you want me to help you. Don’t pester Gu Zijin.” Mu Ming said crossly.
Mu Ming had always known his sister had a crush on Gu Zijin, but Gu Zijin was out of her league. Mu Ming concealed the truth from Mu Xue. After all, if his sister realized that Qin Muxuan was alive, Mu Xue would make a scene.
“He avoids me. Somehow, Zijin keeps that dead woman in mind.” Mentioning Gu Zijin, Mu Xue became dejected. She started complaining.
Mu Ming had heard about such words a thousand times. He remembered that Gu Zijin didn’t forget Qin Muxuan. Yin Youting knew that, too.
However, Qin Muxuan didn’t understand.
The reason was obvious.
