His response was truly amusing, and Shu Ran couldn't understand how he came up with it. She had only asked casually, yet he became so nervous; it was really...
Sigh... never mind, Shu Ran smiled helplessly, not wanting to put him in a difficult position, and said softly, "It's fine, A-Chang, just focus on driving."
A-Chang felt a weight lift off his shoulders; he no longer had to rack his brain for compliments for Qin Shao.
He wasn't good with words, but deep down, Qin Xian was a belief for him. Whatever he said, they would follow without resistance, without doubt—absolute obedience and trust.
People do not betray their beliefs. Betraying a belief is equivalent to betraying oneself; at that moment, what meaning would it hold?
He felt this way, and so did all of the Qin Family.
For Qin Xian, they were unwavering and absolutely obedient.
This was the conviction that had existed in his heart since childhood—unchangeable and something he never wanted to change.
Shu Ran clearly could not know what he was thinking. She didn't feel disappointed not having understood him; in fact, from another perspective, how others thought of him or viewed him was their business.
She couldn't define or deny him based on others' opinions. She should seek to understand him herself and discover what kind of person he truly was.
If she really loved him.
Thinking about this, the negative rumors about him gradually faded away from her mind.
Her heart felt empty again, devoid of worries, and naturally her mood lightened. A smile appeared on her lips.
A-Chang saw through the rearview mirror that the Young Mistress in the back seat had a smile that was much more relaxed than when she got in. He guessed that his words had made her happy. Thinking this way eased his own mood as well, and he continued to focus intently on driving.
Before long, they finally arrived at Innocent Kindergarten.
It was already five in the afternoon, and some parents had started bringing their children to school. The security guard stood at the entrance to greet them, while the other teachers were busy setting up the venue and preparing for the performance.
When Shu Ran arrived, Ji Changge's call came through, asking where she was and mentioning that the event was about to start.
As Shu Ran closed the car door and said goodbye to A-Chang, she hurried into the campus. In a corner, a black car quietly parked, and a cold gaze from inside followed her as she entered the school, only leaving once she was out of sight before slowly driving away.
Perhaps due to parents starting their vacation, there were far more attendees than expected. With insufficient staff and seating, many teachers went to help add more seats. As soon as Shu Ran entered the campus, Li Xin and Lu Qisheng pulled her backstage to help with the children's makeup, leading to a flurry of activity.
...
The cold wind of Winter Night was sharp as a dagger, stabbing into one's bones and slicing through flesh. It didn't draw blood but caused extreme pain.
Ice-cold water fell from the sky, soaking his clothes, inch by inch sliding down and clinging to his skin, leaving his lips blue and causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
It wasn't just the harsh weather; it was also the chilling aura of the person before him that frightened him so much he nearly wet himself.
"Speak up, where is Xu Zhouyan?" The question came from that person's subordinate, Chen Jin. He appeared to be asking casually, but there was no mistaking the malice in his tone.
Let’s not forget that Chen Jin had just pushed him onto the rooftop, binding him tightly in front of a massive water pipe and pouring an entire bucket of ice-cold water over him, leaving him in a state where he couldn't live or die.
Seeing that he wasn't answering, Chen Jin's expression turned serious as he glanced at a nearby man in black with an inscrutable look.
The man in black nodded slightly and looked at him. The sinister smile on his lips sent a chill creeping up from his feet, making him tremble uncontrollably.
He trembled, his voice shaking, and cried out to the person lazily sitting nearby, "Qin Shao, please let me go. I really don't know anything."
The person seemed amused by him, glancing lightly at his tear-streaked, dirty face before turning away in disdain. With a lazy tone that carried a hint of hoarseness, he said, "Mr. Jiang really knows how to joke."
He laughed coldly, raising an eyebrow suddenly. "Unfortunately, the person I dislike the most is joking with me."
Jiang Youcheng's pupils suddenly dilated, filled with fear and unease. He had known all along; he should have known he couldn't walk this path. Hadn't he heard enough rumors about Qin Xian? He regretted it so much—regretted making this decision, regretted listening to Xu Zhouyan and standing against Qin Xian.
The story began a month ago.
A month ago, Xu Zhouyan, who had escaped from somewhere, found him and persuaded him to make a deal.
He said that as long as Qin Xian fell, the Qin Family would be completely defeated.
Once the plan succeeded, Xu would take Qin Xian's place and marry his daughter. At that time, Jiang Youcheng's status would rise along with it; the two families would be harmonious and unbeatable in business.
At that time, Jiang Youcheng's career was facing difficulties. A company called Chen's Hardware Company had appeared in S City out of nowhere. Over the years, it had been biding its time, gradually rising to a position equal to his own. When it finally erupted, it threatened to undermine the Jiang Family's dominance in the hardware industry, completely ending his monopoly over the market and creating a fierce competition.
He didn't know what tricks Chen's had used to cause the Jiang Family's performance to plummet. After one quarter, their market share dropped significantly, making him furious enough to lose his temper several times. He secretly sought people to undermine them but was never successful; Chen's defenses were simply too high.
Days passed without any solution in sight. During those days at home, seeing his daughter Jiang Yihan dressed up so flamboyantly made him angry. If only he could have dealt with Qin Xian back then, they wouldn't be in this situation now. As long as Jiang Yihan whispered sweet nothings in Qin Xian's ear, with a wave of his hand, Chen's would have been driven out of S City immediately. There would have been no need for him to pull his hair out trying to come up with strategies.
