Free Web NovelChapter 954: Chapter 927: Since When Did I Have That Kind of Person?
During this time, a major event happened in the country: all the major media outlets reported that Wang Haiqun, the president of Haiqun Group, accidentally exposed his crimes while drunk.
No one knows how the incident happened, and there are various speculations outside. Some say Wang Haiqun offended someone and was retaliated against, but insiders say that the letter handed to the discipline inspection committee, the one that brought Wang Haiqun to ruin, was entirely in Wang Haiqun’s own handwriting, complete with his fingerprints.
So now the most credible rumor is that Wang Haiqun was cursed, possessed, and wrote a self-incriminating letter that he couldn’t escape from.
The case is under trial, and there’s no chance for a comeback. The letter not only detailed all his crimes but also included evidence possessed by his cashier. Once the cashier turned on him, there was no escaping from his unsavory deeds.
Whenever a boss gets into trouble, the first thought is to get rid of the cashier. Wang Haiqun’s biggest problem was that he couldn’t believe he wrote that thing. When they came to arrest him, he didn’t even know how he got caught, nor had he transferred the cashier out in time.
In short, an entire big family went down just like that, inexplicably, leaving everyone puzzled. If it wasn’t a curse, then it was haunting.
As soon as Shuixian heard about it, the first thing she did was call Qian. Qian was indifferent, saying only one sentence.
"Those who do many bad things will be punished by heaven sooner or later."
Although Shuixian didn’t know what Qian did, it seemed that every time Qian used the words "punished by heaven," someone would be out of luck. When Qian said it’d come sooner or later, it’s akin to saying, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you," before starting a fight.
So, Shuixian vaguely felt this matter might be related to Qian, but Qian refused to admit it, so Shuixian and others didn’t ask further.
Even her elder brother didn’t know what means Qian used to obtain Wang Haiqun’s handwritten confession. But that’s not important; what’s important is that Qian made it happen, and her elder brother took the opportunity to gain a lot.
Qian didn’t care about these things; her revenge was complete, which justified her friendship with Shi Yu, and she was satisfied. As for how many years Wang Haiqun would serve in prison, Qian felt nothing about it. Compared to Wang Haiqun implanting ideas not belonging to Shi Yu into Shi Yu, Qian had already been very open and straightforward. She only hypnotized him to make him confess to things he actually did, all of which were true.
"If you don’t seek death, you won’t die." If he had done business cleanly like her elder brother, even if hypnotized a million times, nothing would come out. Wang Haiqun was just seeking his own doom, reaping what he sowed.
Qian returned a few days before her vacation started. Yu Minglang had also taken leave for the wedding, and the two drove home. This time, the wedding was for real.
Qiuqiu and Bai Jin also came along in the same car. Their attendance at Qian’s wedding was a must. Qian had many properties in Q City, so accommodating them wasn’t difficult. It was also a way to have these two act as her family for the ceremony, as she didn’t plan to invite too many people from her own side of the family.
As for Chen Lin’s side, except for the Fourth Uncle’s family, they still had contact, but they were estranged from the other two families. Even if they now wished to cozy up to Qian, she wouldn’t let them come. On such a joyous day, she didn’t want to see these people.
Regarding Qian’s mom’s side, due to disputes over relocation and house grabbing, they had fallen out with her Second Uncle. Although her eldest uncle’s family had been in touch with Qian’s mom in recent years, hoping to share her prosperity, under Qian’s influence, her mom didn’t get too close, only maintaining normal familial relations.
So from her maternal side, only Fourth Uncle and Eldest Uncle were allowed to come. Mrs. Yu talked to Qian about it, but she had made up her mind and decided not to invite them.
Plenty of people from Mr. Liao’s side could come, plus Qian’s classmates and friends, which was enough.
Irrelevant people were not allowed at her wedding.
The Chen family had never wronged her in this life, staying out of each other’s way, but she remembered all past life incidents where they kicked her when she was down or ignored her plight. Now, living so well, why would she let them bask in her glory?
Upon reaching Q City, Yu Minglang first took Bai Jin and Qiuqiu to one of Qian’s nicely furnished two-bedroom apartments. The two would stay as temporary roommates. The place had previously been rented out, but Qian, planning her marriage, took it back to accommodate guests.
After settling Bai Jin and Qiuqiu, Qian got into the car, ready for Yu Minglang to take her back to her maternal home. Yu Minglang didn’t start the engine, instead turning to her, looking like he had something to say.
Qian thought he wanted to ask about Qiuqiu and Bai Jin, so she responded.
"Bai Jin and Qiuqiu seem to have been in frequent contact lately. They’re often seen shopping together. Although the window paper hasn’t been broken, I figure it might happen soon."
Arranging for them to live together with the wedding still more than a week away, maybe they’d hit it off, Qian thought, somewhat amusedly.
"Qian, what I want to talk to you about isn’t this."
"Not this?" Qian was surprised. If not this, then what?
Xiaoqiang’s expression was very serious.
"We’re about to get married. Are you sure... you won’t tell him?" This matter had been on Yu Minglang’s mind throughout the journey, and he finally dared to speak up.
"Who?"
"Your dad."
"Dad? When did I have someone like that?" Qian’s face was emotionless.
"I know you can’t forgive him, and I understand your feelings. According to your local customs, maybe you don’t have to invite him to the wedding, but it’s best to at least inform him. I’ve heard that not notifying him would make relatives gossip."
Xiaoqiang was saying this on someone else’s behalf, but it wasn’t his own intention. He also knew he might provoke Qian’s displeasure.
Yet, despite the risk, he had to voice his view.
Because this was a task assigned by his future mother-in-law to Yu Minglang.
Qian’s mom was afraid to ask Qian directly for fear of angering her. However, according to the local customs, if a daughter got married and didn’t inform her biological father, other relatives would curse. Even though they wouldn’t invite Chen Lin, it seemed only right to inform him, at least so relatives wouldn’t criticize Qian—this was Qian’s mom’s thinking, and Xiaoqiang was metaphorically pushed onto the stage as the messenger.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Qian’s face fell.
"Yu Minglang, if you want to tell him, go ahead and do it yourself! See if he latches onto you for money! You should know what kind of person he is, right? He’s like a piece of sticky plaster, blackmailing whoever he can. If I hadn’t tried so hard to stop him over the years, who knows what kind of hell he would have put my mom through! What do you mean by we have unfinished business? Do I have unfinished business? If he hadn’t done things so absolutely, would I be like this?"
Recalling those past events, Qian struggled to calm her hidden anger and hatred.
Past life’s grudges, present life’s resentments, those are never to be forgotten.
Especially the despicable things Chen Lin had done last time, not only trying to frame Qian and her mom but also calling her a bastard. Thinking about his gall infuriated Qian.
"Didn’t he call me a bastard? Then let’s pretend I’m not his biological daughter. I am a bastard! I won’t tell him!"
