Don't meet me in your next life.

Shen Yulin frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Have you known that President Qin for a long time?"

"Um."

"So...did you sleep with him?"

"What?!"

"Don't blame me for being blunt, but although that man is a high-ranking official, his reputation is really bad." Shen Yulin looked at her with a disappointed expression. "How could a girl like you so easily trust someone like that!"

"Mom, I don't trust people easily. He's very good to me and takes good care of me."

"You, you're still too trusting of others!"

"I don't want to believe it either, but Mom, he's so handsome, I can't help myself..."

Xiang Yi lowered her head in shame, "So..."

She still remembered the tender look in Qin Yufan's eyes and his actions when he kissed her on the sofa last night...

"Yiren, you silly child! How many times have I told you, never believe a man's sweet words!"

"But......"

Okay, okay!

Shen Yulin sighed, "I'm not going to interfere with you anymore. But if he bullies you, remember to tell me immediately, okay?"

“Yes, I know,” Xiang Yi quickly agreed.

"Okay, then you can go back now."

When Xiang Yi left the Qin family, it was almost noon. The sunlight was extremely bright, and she couldn't help but squint and shield her eyes with her hand.

Suddenly, she heard a steam horn.

Xiang Yi looked up and saw a black sedan parked on the side of the road.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Qin Yufan's charming and handsome face.

Xiang Yi paused for a moment, then nodded politely, "President Qin."

"Where are you going? I can give you a ride."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. I'll just take a taxi."

She's not that delicate!

Qin Yufan glanced at her but said nothing more.

He tossed her the keys, saying, "You drive home first, I'll come to the hospital to find you later."

Xiang Yi was taken aback for a moment, "President Qin..."

Qin Yufan raised an eyebrow at her, a smile playing on his lips. "Didn't you say you wanted to be my girlfriend? I won't go back on my word."

His words concealed another meaning, and Xiang Yi's cheeks flushed slightly.

She didn't dare say anything more and silently took the car keys and got into the car.

The car drove smoothly forward and soon disappeared into the traffic.

......

After Xiang Yi drove home, Shen Yulin was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Xiang Yi walked over and sat down next to her.

"Mom, I reported to Qin's company today."

Shen Yulin turned to look at her, her eyes filled with confusion.

What were you doing at the Qin family's place today?

Xiang Yi hesitated for a moment before telling her about her encounter with Qin Yufan.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yulin nearly jumped up in anger. "That brat is absolutely outrageous! How dare he lie to you! I'm going to tell Grandpa right now and have him teach him a lesson!"

"Mom, please don't get agitated."

"My dear, this is what your mother owes you, and I must make it up to you!"

"I'm fine, as long as Dad's illness can be cured."

Xiang Yi took Shen Yulin's hand.

If she had known that Qin Yufan was such a womanizer, she should have hardened her heart and firmly opposed the two of them.

Now her daughter has been wronged, but there's nothing she can do to help her...

Shen Yulin held her hand and looked at her with a loving expression.

Xiang Yi looked at her with emotion and said softly with a smile, "Mom, I really, really love you!"

Shen Yulin's heart softened, and she smiled as she hugged her, "Yiren, you will be happy too!"

......

night.

The top floor of the Qin Group building.

Qin Yufan turned away from the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at his assistant beside him.

"President Qin, this is the sales plan for this quarter."

The assistant handed over a folder and respectfully placed it on the table.

Qin Yufan flipped through the pages casually, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Sales plummeted by 50 percent this quarter! And the sales figures are very strange.

"what happened?"

"Reporting to President Qin, a company called 'Xiang's' has acquired a portion of our company's stock. This money represents funds they have misappropriated from our finances. We have already notified our legal department..."

“No need,” Qin Yufan interrupted his report indifferently. “I have my own way of handling it.”

"Mr. Qin, do you want to liquidate this money?"

The assistant asked tentatively.

Qin Yufan curled his lips coldly, "Not bad, I'd like to see just how big their appetite is."

The assistant nodded. "President Qin, we've invested 300 million yuan in this project. Withdrawing our investment now would likely harm the company."

"Then you should have the company pay the penalty for breach of contract," Qin Yufan said casually.

"But the penalty for breach of contract is payable in installments, and that..."

"Don't you need me to help you solve this?"

Qin Yufan narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Yes, Mr. Qin! I'll arrange it right away!"

......

When Xiang Yi returned home, Shen Yulin was already back.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the aroma of food.

Wow, you're cooking lunch at home today?

Shen Yulin brought out the last dish from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.

Xiang Yi took a sniff and exclaimed, "Wow, it smells so good! Did Mom cook this herself?"

As she spoke, she eagerly ran to the dining table and saw the three dishes on it.

Wow, this is all my favorite food! What a feast!

Xiang Yi exclaimed in surprise, immediately picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and tasted it. Her eyes lit up instantly, "So delicious!"

Shen Yulin smiled, "Eat more if you like, I spent a long time making this."

"That's wonderful! Mom, thank you so much today!"

"Silly child, there's no need to thank me. Go wash your hands, dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay! Alright!"

Xiang Yi ran happily to the restroom.

She had just turned off the tap when she heard a loud bang, which startled her so much that she ran out immediately.

With a loud "bang!"

The glass on the coffee table in the living room was shattered into pieces.

Xiang Yi stared blankly at the mess in the living room.

Oh no, Mom's definitely going to yell at her again...

really--

Shen Yulin was furious and pointed at Xiang Yiyi's nose, cursing.

"You brat! Why can't you watch what's good?! This is your father's favorite vase! And you actually smashed it!"

Xiang Yi gritted her teeth, "I'm sorry, Mom... I..."

"Shut up! I'm not your mother! And don't call me 'Mom' anymore! You're a jinx! Get out of here!"

Shen Yulin was so angry that she trembled all over, pointing at the door as if she wanted to throw her out.

Xiang Yi bit her lower lip, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lip again, finally unable to hold back, and ran away crying.

"Waaaaah... Mom, Mom, how could you be so mean... Waaaaah... I know I did something wrong, I promise I'll never do it again..."

Xiang Yi cried her heart out.

Shen Yulin sat on the sofa, watching her departing figure with a complicated expression.
