Chapter 548: Killing two birds with one stone

Xi Yaohua went to get a glass of water as Qin Muran gradually got a sense of her surroundings once more. She felt uncomfortable seeing that Xi Yaohua was ignoring her.

She collected her discarded clothes on the floor silently and put them on before remembering that they were in his office.

Qin Muran grew ashen. She recalled how she’d completely thrown all propriety out of the window during her passionate peak and how she’d shouted. It wasn’t that she was all that innocent, based on how she usually dressed; when she was with Xi Yaohua behind closed doors, she was extremely bold and open to any experience.

Her tactics were part of the reason Xi Yaohua was seduced by her. Xi Yaohua was pleasantly surprised by Qin Muran’s brazenness in bed.

It was precisely because she was always so vocal with Xi Yaohua that she forgot that they were in his office and shouted as per usual encouragements such as ’Brother Hua, you’re so strong’ and ’Brother Hua, you’re so good.’ Moreover, she’d always said it loudly and wantonly.

Now that she’d recovered her senses, she then realized that all the sounds she made and words she said were surely heard by the people outside.

Qin Muran instantly felt like she could die of regret. She was so out of her mind just now that she also forgot all semblance of control.

When she was done tidying her clothes, Qin Muran blushed, her eyes sparkling with a little bit of tears. She threw Xi Yaohua a look of shyness and mock anger, grumbling, "The people outside must have heard us."

She flushed red as she covered her ears and shook her head, eyes a little red-rimmed, looking aggrieved.

If it were during their early days together, Xi Yaohua wouldn’t have borne it and immediately would have coaxed her. But they had been together for a long time now, and Xi Yaohua had long been sick of her already.

And he also knew Qin Muran’s tricks too well. Seeing her acting now, Xi Yaohua did not feel any love and care, and he was totally devoid of the inclination to comfort her. He even felt like laughing. Who was she putting on an act for?

Xi Yaohua said cooly, "It’s okay. So what if the people outside heard you? They wouldn’t dare to spread it and wouldn’t dare to disrespect you. You just have to pretend that they’re not people and ignore them."

Qin Muran choked; she was all ready to curl into Xi Yaohua’s embrace. Who knew this sentence would pop out instead?

Qin Muran’s face fell and she asked unhappily, "Brother Hua, what’s wrong with you recently? You’ve been treating me rather coldly."

He did not even care that they were overheard by the people outside during their throes of passion. A thought flashed in Qin Muran’s mind. Had he really cared, he wouldn’t have let anyone else hear or know what they were doing.

Xi Yaohua realized that he might have been a little bit too cold. He did not want Qin Muran to fall apart yet. Their family still wanted the Qin Corporation’s money. Hence, Xi Yaohua carried Qin Muran to sit on the sofa.

Qin Muran thought of what they both just did and felt shy and furious, but also sweet and regretful; all her emotions were tangled together.

"Don’t be angry," Xi Yaohua could only soothe her. "I couldn’t help myself either. I promise you I won’t be like this next time. I’ll see you out when you leave. They won’t even dare to look at you with me there. I’ll tell them to watch their mouths later."

Qin Muran finally felt happier after feeling Xi Yaohua’s concern.

Xi Yaohua then asked, "Oh, right, you came hurriedly to find me. What’s the matter?"

As soon as Xi Yaohua asked this, Qin Muran’s eyes turned red immediately. She said, "Brother Hua, I will tell you everything. But you have to promise me first that you won’t think bad of my family because of this matter."

Xi Yaohua’s eyes flashed. He had already guessed why Qin Muran wished to meet him on an urgent basis. Now with her words, his guess was confirmed.

Xi Yaohua nodded, "I promise. Now tell me what’s going on?"

Qin Muran explained the whole matter to Xi Yaohua. Of course, she had made some changes in the story to favor Lu Yaran and to put all the blame onto Qin Yan. However, what she did not know was that Xi Yaohua already knew the whole story. Thus, he could also see Qin Muran’s petty tricks.

"It’s all because of sister. I knew she hated me and my mother, but I didn’t think that she would go to such lengths just to make us suffer. Even though my mother is not her biological mother, she still raised her. But sister did not have even a little bit of consideration towards her."

Xi Yaohua heard everything patiently and realized that Qin Muran had manipulated the entire story in her and Lu Yaran’s favor. This made him give a thought about whatever happened in the past.

At first, he had always liked Qin Yan. She was a sweet little pretty girl. However, every time he played with her, Qin Muran would always find something or other to blame Qin Yan. Someday, Qin Yan broke her toys while someday Qin Yan pushed her to the ground. When these incidents happened, Qin Muran would always come to complain to Xi Yaohua. She would not explicitly blame Qin Yan but if someone listened to her complaints carefully, they would understand that she was indirectly blaming Qin Yan.

All these incidents made Xi Yaohua think of Qin Yan as a mean and vicious girl. However, if he thought about it carefully, all the incidents that had happened back then could be just a frame-up by his girlfriend.

This made Xi Yaohua’s blood boil. He was played around by the woman in front of him. If not for Qin Muran’s tactics, he would have never hated Qin Yan that much and would have never humiliated her. If he had not done so, he could still have a chance to regain a place in Qin Yan’s heart. And if he had been in a relationship with Qin Yan, he would gain a relation with the Nie family.

All his ifs had been destroyed by Qin Muran. This made Xi Yaohua’s heart seethe with anger. However, he did not let the emotion appear on his face. After all, he had no chance to go after Qin Yan. But he could still make use of Qin Muran.

Until this time, Xi Yaohua felt a little bad in his heart to deceive Qin Muran in this way. After all, they had been together for so many years. However, all the feelings of guilt had disappeared by now. Since she made him suffer a big loss, she also deserved to suffer the same.

Even when all these thoughts were running in Xi Yaohua’s mind, Qin Muran could not figure out anything from his facial expression. She did not know what he was thinking about, but she had to put her request before him.

So, she said, "Brother Hua, can you help my mother lessen her sentence? I know it won’t be possible to get her released but can you at least help to reduce her sentence?"

Xi Yaohua thought for a while before replying, "Muran, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I don’t wield any power when compared to the Nie family. Moreover, Su Cen’s husband is also a tycoon from M Nation. Even if the source of his power lies in M Nation, it does not mean that he won’t be able to exert any force here. My power is nothing when compared to the combined power of the Nie and the Han families."

He then took a look at Qin Muran’s disappointed expression and continued, "If your father and brother were ready to help, the Qin family and my family would still be able to put up a fight. But it seems that your father has given up on your mother. I didn’t expect this from Uncle Qin. As soon as Auntie Lu faced a crisis, Uncle Qin immediately gave up on her. It seems that Uncle Qin does not care much about his family. Only your brother seems to be important to him. And why wouldn’t he be? After all, he is the heir of the Qin Corporation."

Xi Yaohua had struck two birds with one stone. On one hand, he had washed his hands off Lu Yaran’s matter and declined to help Qin Muran in a good way. And on the other hand, he had sowed a seed of discord in Qin Muran’s mind that his father only cared about his brother. Since he had abandoned Lu Yaran in difficulty, he could also abandon Qin Muran whenever the time came. The only important person in his mind was Qin Mufeng.
