No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 301: Am I too Selfish (III)



Gu Zijin raised his brow when he saw Qin Muxuan who took the initiative to invite him for lunch. “Well, may I ask the reason?”

Qin Muxuan laughed to herself, “I’m here to express my heartfelt thanks to you. A free news report brings me lots of publicity.”

Seeing her chaff herself on this, Gu Zijin didn’t know whether this issue upset her.

“Sorry for getting you involved.”

Qin Muxuan shook her hand, “Let’s grab something to eat. Xiaobai’s waiting downstairs.”

Gu Zijin was confused, but he could tell she was unwilling to mention that. hence, he didn’t ask more. The man rose to his feet and followed her to the restaurant downstairs.

He behaved like a staunch ally, which alleviate her indignation. The three had a chitchat during the lunch. The atmosphere was harmonious.

However, Yan Yuxiao rushed over in a huff at this moment. She hurled a glass of wine in Qin Muxuan’s face.

Gu Zijin was agile, but he could only redirected Yan Yuxiao’s action. A little wine still sprayed on Qin Muxuan’s face.

The man pulled a tissue out of the box to wipe those stains away.

Qin Muxuan raised her head obediently for enraging Yan Yuxiao. After a while, Qin Muxuan took the tissue over, smiling. “Thank you. I will be in a mess if you’re not here.”

Dumbfounded, Gu Zijin gazed at her. He then turned to Yan Yuxiao, scowling. “Yan Yuxiao, apologize to Qin Xuan.” The man scolded coldly.

Yan Yuxiao became furious when seeing their interaction. She glared at Qin Muxuan, “Why should I do that?”

“She seduced you and destroy our marriage. Am I not supposed to seek justice for myself?” Tears welled up in her eyes. Staring at him, Yan Yuxiao sobbed, “Zijin, the news is false, right?”

“Ms. Yan.” Qin Muxuan interrupted her out of the blue, “Do you know you’ve violated the law?”

Qin Xiaobai nodded outragedly, “You… You…”

Gu Zijin continued, “You’re jeopardizing her physical safety.”

‘They’re so in tune!’ Realizing that, Qin Yuxiao was irritated. Her chest heaved violently, “I’m not!”

After slowly mopping her face up, Qin Muxuan looked up at Yan Yuxiao, “Well, that’s not your decision to make. It’s up to the police.”

“Oh, I almost forgot. We have decided to file a lawsuit against the person who snitches out without permission. Spreading rumors on public platforms violates human rights.”

Hearing that, Gu Zijin subconsciously turned to Qin Muxuan who was speaking in all apparent seriousness, but found that she grinned at him.

Insiders could tell she shot him a warning glance, but Yan Yuxiao was obviously not one of them. Yan Yuxiao was startled. It was difficult for her to gather her wits together when they set her up. What was worse, she was engulfed by wrath.

‘If Gu Zijin investigates me, my tricks will be laid bare.’

Thinking of that, Yan Yuxiao paled. She gazed at the man in disbelief, “Zijin, are you gonna file…”

Noticing Yan Yuxiao was on the hook, Qin Muxuan slowly torn apart the used tissue in hand. “Right. We’ll file a lawsuit against you! We’ve suffered enormous losses. Stocks of the Gu Group have fallen off sharply because of the rumor.”

Qin Muxuan paused deliberately, “Well, you might be incarcerated for two or three years according to the losses.”

Hearing that, Yan Yuxiao became more pallid. She pulled Gu Zijin’s shirt, begging, “Zijin, I didn’t mean to. I’m jealous of Qin Xuan being close with you, so I asked someone to release the video and spread the rumor. Sorry, I know I’m wrong. I will make up your losses. Please don’t sue me…”

Qin Muxuan clapped her hands with a smile after Yan Yuxiao confided the truth. She turned around, “Well, you’ve gotten the scoop, right?”

Reporters in disguise flocked here to question Yan Yuxiao.

Staring at microphones before her, Yan Yuxiao finally woke up. She was mute, glaring at Qin Muxuan. Her nails cut into her palms.

‘Qin Xuan set me up! She texted me on purpose to irritate me! That bitch knew I would be here!’

Qin Muxuan tilted her head, beaming. Yan Yuxiao’s eyes bulged. She’d like to tear Qin Muxuan apart!

Turning to Gu Zijin who stared appraisingly at her, Qin Muxuan apologized perfunctorily, “Sorry, Mr. Gu. I leverage you without permission. Hope you don’t mind.”

Gu Zijin had to admitted that she had changed.

He squinted at Yan Yuxiao. After she was protected by belated bodyguards and sent to a safe place, he withdrew his eyes and cast a meaningful look at the confident woman before him.

Qin Muxuan had achieved her aim. After checking the time, she rose from the chair with a smile, “I have a press conference this afternoon. Excuse me.”

After saying that, she stroked Qin Xiaobai’s head and hurried out.

Gazing at her back, Gu Zijin sneered. He lowered his head to text Lisa. ‘Well. You should never burn bridges, Muxuan.’

During the press conference this afternoon, Qin Muxuan got rid of the label “home wrecker” for the record in which Yan Yuxiao admitted the truth and evidence provided by Gu Zijin.

People thought Qin Muxuan will move on after making it clear. However, she said, “As an actress, I know I can’t file a lawsuit against her because she didn’t charge for my videos or photos. However, Ms. Yan has brought huge losses to Mr. Gu and me. She’s not only tarnished my reputation.”

“As we all know, I’ve invested in Teen. Our crew have stopped shooting because of the rumor.”

Reporters were perplexed. She looked around at them, speaking resolutely, “I’ve asked my lawyer to file and record the case in court. The head and assistants of conspiracy will receive bench warrants.”

People on the spot were in an uproar.

Journalists realized it was breaking news. They pursued, but Qin Muxuan didn’t give them a chance. She directly put an end to the conference. With the help of bodyguards, she left the assembly room.

The news made its way to the Gu’s house because it was live streamed online.

Pulling her face, Elderly Lady Gu called Gu Zijin.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Yuxiao did that on the spur of the moment. Don’t blame her. She didn’t cause too much trouble.”

The old lady’s face turned darker when she didn’t receive a reply, “She’s your legal wife. Others will gossip about our family if you sue her. Go and dismiss the case.”

Hearing that, Gu Zijin opened his mouth. He informed his grandmother of the Yan family’s conditions.

The man concluded indifferently, “The Yan family has been rotten. They will fall apart sooner or later.”

Elderly Lady Gu planned to enlarge the Gu Group with the help of the Yan family, so she asked Gu Zijin to marry Yan Yuxiao.

Words failed her. After a while, the old lady sighed, “Well, you can decide whether to marry Yuxiao or not.”

Suddenly, her voice turned hard and cold. “But you can’t marry that actress. She’s not good enough for you.”

‘In particular, she resembles Qin Muxuan.’

After dealing with that, Qin Muxuan returned to Jingyin community to accompany her daughter.

Yin Youting was at home. Seeing him, she was startled.

The woman changed her slippers and walked into the living room. “Why are you at home today?”

It was Thursday.

Looking her up and down, Yin Youting didn’t notice any injury. He finally felt relieved after hearing Yan Yuxiao beat her.

“Xin stays at home alone. I’m worried about her.” He tickled the kid, asking the woman, “Xin has gotten used to the environment. Would you like to send her to a kindergarten?”

Qin Muxuan’s eyelashes fluttered, ‘He really cares about Xin.’

The man continued, “Xin’s bored when staying at home alone. You will be able to focus on your work if she goes to school and makes friends.”

“I’m not familiar with educational resources in China…”

“Well, I can help. There’s a well-known kindergarten not far away from our neighborhood…” Yin Youting proposed.

The woman became silent, ‘I owe him more and more.’

Yin Youting drove Qin Muxuan and Qin Xin to a high-end kindergarten the next morning.

It was an elite school integrating kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and high school. Numerous outstanding persons had studied here. The vast school had professional teachers, beautiful environment and harmonious atmosphere.

Qin Muxuan was satisfied after strolling through the school. She immediately registered Qin Xin here.

The innocent girl noticed her mother would leave her here. She cried out of fear. ‘Mommy’s gonna abandon me!’

The kid held Qin Muxuan’s legs, sobbing. “Don’t abandon me, mommy. I’m a good girl. I promise I won’t skip a meal anymore. Please take me with you…”

Qin Muxuan was helpless. She wiped the child’s tears softly, explaining, “This is a kindergarten. You should go to school. Remember that I will never abandon you, my sweet heart.”

Qin Xin’s face puckered. She clenched Qin Muxuan’s legs more firmly, “No, I don’t wanna go to school. I wanna go home!”

The woman had made a counterplan. She frowned on purpose, “But… if you don’t go to school, one of Uncle Yin and I should stay at home to accompany you. We can’t make money then. You will be starving and can’t buy new clothes.”

New clothes were Qin Xin’s Achilles’ heel. The kid instantly released Qin Muxuan’s legs. She wiped away her tears. “All right. I’ll go to school. Please make more money. Then I can buy more stunning dresses.”

After saying that, she even held a teacher’s hand to show her determination.

“Good girl. I’ll pick you up after work.”

Qin Muxuan rubbed the kid’s head with a smile. She didn’t leave until the child entered the classroom and took a seat.

After they stepped out of the school gate, Qin Muxuan peered at Yin Youting who had accompanied her, “Go to work. I can hail a cab by myself.”

“Well. No courtesies between us, remember?” The man stroked her head, “Lots of people are skeptical although you have cleared the air. The illusion will be broken if I send you to the filming site.”

He persuaded and drove her to Hengdian World Studio. Somehow, she felt weird.
