After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"...I've heard about it." Ding Fenglian felt uneasy and stammered as she spoke, "I just heard it from someone today."

Qin Feihong loosened his tie, turned around and looked at her: "So, do you think those rumors are true?"

Ding Fenglian blinked, her eyes wide with surprise: "This... there are so many rumors circulating outside, which one are you referring to?"

Qin Feihong: "Of course it's about Wushuang liking Xie Zhaoyuan!"

"This matter has caused quite a stir, and everyone outside is laughing at our Qin family!"

"This, this is all nonsense from those people!" For the sake of family harmony and the reputation of the Qin family, Ding Fenglian had no other choice but to help Qin Wushuang lie.

“Our Wushuang has always had high standards. He looked down on all the daughters of prominent families I introduced to him, let alone that vulgar Xie Zhaoyuan. What can Xie Zhaoyuan do besides draw a few design drafts? How could Wushuang possibly respect her?”

"Besides, Xie Zhaoyuan was Wushuang's sister after all. If Wushuang liked her, wouldn't he be out of his mind?"

"Hmph," Qin Feihong sneered, "I'm just worried that he's lost his mind."

"Dad!" Qin Sisi stared at him reproachfully. "What are you saying? How could my brother have a problem with his brain? Those rumors outside sound so fake. You didn't just believe them because you heard them so much, did you?"

“My older brother has always been a very steady and sensible person. Even if he were out of his mind, he would never do something that would ruin his reputation.”

“That’s right,” Ding Fenglian agreed. “Outsiders don’t understand Wushuang, and don’t you understand him either? How could you believe such an outrageous rumor?”

Qin Feihong looked at the mother and daughter, who were singing in unison, and his smile was very strange: "Do you think I want to believe it? It was Qin Wushuang who made a fool of herself and forced me to believe it!"

"...Huh?" Ding Fenglian's heart skipped a beat. Although she didn't quite understand what Qin Feihong meant, her intuition told her that Qin Wushuang might have gotten into trouble.

Qin Feihong took a step forward and sat down on the nearest sofa.

"How long have these ridiculous rumors been circulating? I don't believe Qin Wushuang hasn't heard a thing! He knows perfectly well that these rumors have a huge impact on the Qin Group, yet he's pretending to be clueless and acting like he knows nothing. Isn't that just protesting too much?"

"And how long has he been recuperating in Jingcheng? It was understandable that he didn't want to come back when things were going well at the company, but now that there's a ton of mess at the company and several senior executives have taken turns trying to get him to come back, don't you guys find that strange?"

"...Wushuang explained this to me." Ding Fenglian forced herself to defend Qin Wushuang. "Wushuang said that the weather has been bad lately, and his internal injuries have been aggravated. The doctor does not recommend that he overexert himself."

"Tired?" This word made Qin Feihong laugh. "How tired could he be? So much time has passed, even if his injuries were serious, he should be almost healed by now! Besides, how far is Jingcheng from Yuncheng? How long would it take him to travel back?"

"A man in his thirties, why is he being so delicate!"

"..."

Ding Fenglian lowered her head guiltily, unable to utter a single word after being rebuked.

"Hmph!" Qin Feihong snorted coldly, glaring at her with a look of disappointment. "Your son is strange in every way! I just don't want to doubt him, but I have to!"

“He’s thirty-three this year, but he’s never had a girlfriend. If he really had designs on Xie Zhaoyuan a long time ago, that would explain why he’s been unwilling to settle down all these years!”

"...No way." Ding Fenglian had completely lost the confidence to argue, but she still spoke up for Qin Wushuang. "After all, Xie Zhaoyuan has been Wushuang's younger sister for twenty years, and now she is married and has children. Wushuang definitely wouldn't like her."

Qin Feihong: "Whether he likes Xie Zhaoyuan or not is no longer important. Just pray that he has nothing to do with Xie Zhaoyuan's disappearance!"

Ding Fenglian: "You can rest assured about that. Xie Zhaoyuan's disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with Wushuang."

"Heh..." Qin Feihong rolled his eyes. "Whether it's related or not isn't up to us to decide; it's up to the task force to decide."

"To find out what Qin Wushuang is up to, I've secretly sent people to Jingcheng to look for him. If my men can't find him in Jingcheng, then you'd better be prepared to send him to jail."

After saying that, Qin Feihong got up from the sofa, turned around and went upstairs.

"Mom..." Qin Sisi tugged at Ding Fenglian's sleeve, stamping her feet anxiously, "Will something happen to my older brother?"

“…No way.” Ding Fenglian gritted her teeth, forcing herself to believe Qin Wushuang’s words. “Since your brother said he didn’t do it, then this matter must have nothing to do with him.”

"He'll be alright, he'll definitely be alright..."

"Buzz-"

Qin Feihong had just returned to his room when his secretary sent him a WeChat message.

—Mr. Qin, what if Mr. Qin really isn't in Jingcheng?

Qin Feihong sighed with a headache and sent him a voice message.

"What else can we do? Of course, we have to find a way to save him! He's my only son, how can I just watch him go to jail!"

Secretary: What about Xie Zhaoyuan?

Qin Feihong: "If he really likes her, then let him be. Anyway, the two of them are not related by blood, so even if they get together, it won't be a big deal."

Secretary: But the Xie family probably won't agree.

Qin Feihong: "Whether the Xie family will agree or not depends on Xie Zhaoyuan's wishes. As long as Qin Wushuang can win over Xie Zhaoyuan, then the Xie family will not be a problem. But that's all for later. You should find Young Master Qin first."

"Remember, you must not compromise on his relationship with Xie Zhaoyuan unless absolutely necessary."

……

"You dare admit you like me, but you don't dare admit you've kidnapped me?"

Xie Zhaoyuan crossed her arms and leaned lazily against the door of Qin Wushuang's room.

Qin Wushuang turned off her phone, tossed it onto the bed behind her, and walked over from the balcony with a smile.

"Xiao Song, you heard everything."

Xie Zhaoyuan looked at him expressionlessly: "I heard everything. Qin Wushuang, it seems that everyone already knows that you kidnapped me."

"More or less," Qin Wushuang said, not trying to hide anything from her.

Xie Zhaoyuan: "I'm an internet celebrity. Once this kind of thing shows up online, it will definitely be blown out of proportion. Qin Wushuang, are you sure you can still take me away?"

"Of course." Qin Wushuang stood in front of her, his face showing no sign of panic. "If I dare to kidnap you, I dare to take you away. You don't need to worry about me."

“Heh,” Xie Zhaoyuan laughed, “I’m not worried that you can’t take me with you, I’m worried that you won’t even be able to leave this manor.”
