Mrs. Qin’s vision went black.

The great expectations she had before coming here were dashed.

Only now did she realize that this man was truly cold and heartless, ruthless and without compassion.

Nalan Ye Jue pressed the bell: "See the guest out."

Mrs. Qin panicked.

No, it was so difficult to meet Mr. Nalan today, but if there is no progress, wouldn’t she have to act according to Jun Ruyi’s whims in the future?

Jun Ruyi looked down on her so much and was so stingy, only giving her ten million, which was not nearly enough for expenses.

Instead of pleasing Jun Ruyi, she might as well...

She steeled herself, mustering the courage to speak loudly: "Young Master! I know you’re unwilling to help because of Xin’er. But people have the same feelings, the same principles. Have you ever thought that if one day Xin’er finds out the truth about the marriage contract between the Nalan Family and the Qin Family, how heartbroken she would be? If that day comes, how do you think Xin’er will react? At that time, even if you, her brother-in-law, want to help Rou’er, you will have no reason to help her." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As Mrs. Qin finished speaking,

the room’s temperature instantly dropped by more than ten degrees.

Cold!

Bitterly cold!

The man’s eyes were deep and solemn: "Are you threatening me?"

Under pressure, Mrs. Qin’s teeth chattered: "Mr. Emperor, I never intended to tell Xin’er the truth about the marriage contract. But if Rou’er doesn’t get treatment, and if something happens to her and I lose my mind and let it slip..."

She didn’t even dare to look directly at Nalan Ye Jue, just continued to talk to herself.

Nalan Ye Jue was unlikely to help her, but if it was for Qin Xin, to keep some matters from being exposed, maybe he would change his mind.

She could only take a gamble.

The air solidified and fell silent for a few seconds.

Only to hear Nalan Ye Jue coldly say: "Don’t think that threatening me will bring you any benefits. I have ten thousand ways to make you keep your mouth shut."

Mrs. Qin: "..."

How did it come to feel that her head might never make it out of this door???

She really started to regret, regretting that she shouldn’t have spoken to Nalan Ye Jue like that.

She shouldn’t have brought up what no one dared to mention from back then.

The weight of this marriage contract was far heavier than what everyone saw on the surface.

She sat trembling on the sofa, momentarily frozen and unable to move.

It was only after a long while that she realized Nalan Ye Jue had already left the conference table and returned to his desk.

And at some unknown point, a serious and expressionless male secretary appeared in front of her: "Mrs. Qin, here is a check lent to you. Please remember to keep your mouth shut. If you dare to make Miss Qin unhappy again, you might not see the next morning’s sun."

Mrs. Qin was taken aback, and then she felt as if she was gradually coming back alive from the hands of death: "I understand, I understand..."

She bet right, Mr. Nalan cared far more about Qin Xin than he let on.

As long as she didn’t completely sever the mother-daughter relationship with Qin Xin, he would give her a last shred of dignity.

Walking out the doors of the Nalan Group with the check, Mrs. Qin felt as if the sky had brightened a bit.

＝＝

Qin Group.

Qin Xin returned to the long-unused chairman’s office, signed a few contracts, reviewed the recent financial statements, and then assigned the work to her subordinates to handle.

The office fell quiet.

Suddenly, without having to attend classes, she had an abundance of free time.

On the phone’s monitoring software, Xiangxiang and Wu Zhiming had shown no new activities in recent days.

Even the usually noisy Hong Jingtian hadn’t sent any messages to bother her.

Suddenly, everything around her became excessively quiet.
