chapter 16

Qi Sinian was going to enter a marriage alliance.

He had been in contact with Miss Su lately.

Qi Sinian’s company was independent of the Qi Family.

He admitted that he had indeed utilized the Qi Family’s connections and resources, but he was not their subordinate.

The Qi Family was large and its internal relations were complex.

Few of them thought much of Qi Sinian.

Including Qi Muyuan.

It wasn’t that he looked down on him; it was that Qi Sinian didn’t even register in his eyes.

This kind of disregard was even more galling than contempt.

Qi Sinian wanted to take things further; he needed a boost.

The Su Family was a perfect candidate.

That day, I was taking Yanyan back. Passing by a mall, I took him inside to buy Legos.

As we passed the second floor, Yanyan pointed. “It’s Daddy.”

I saw him too. He was accompanying Miss Su while she tried on clothes.

Qi Muyuan had told me about this in advance, so I wasn’t surprised to see this scene.

However, I didn’t expect Tan Qingqing to suddenly appear and splash her entire cup of milk tea onto Miss Su.

She looked completely innocent. “Uncle, I didn’t mean to. Auntie Su won’t blame me, will she?”

Miss Su was very well-bred and kept a smile on her face.

She slowly and methodically wiped the stains from her hands.

“Of course not.”

Tan Qingqing arched her brows, just about to continue.

“Slap!”

A loud slap rang out. Miss Su raised her hand without mercy and struck Tan Qingqing across the face.

She was wearing a ring encrusted with diamonds.

With just that one blow, Tan Qingqing’s face was bloodied.

She let out a scream, terrified and frantic.

Everything happened too fast.

Qi Sinian only had time to restrain Tan Qingqing.

Miss Su took off the ring with a look of disgust and threw it on the floor.

“Keep your people in check. I’m not as spineless as your ex-wife.”

In an instant, Qi Sinian’s expression became incredibly grim.

I didn’t want Yanyan to see this, so I had already covered his eyes and carried him away.

Qi Sinian’s gaze flickered over, and he froze, hurriedly turning his head to look.

Tan Qingqing clung to Qi Sinian, weeping helplessly.

But before she could say anything, Qi Sinian had already abandoned her and chased after us.
