Chapter 118: One More Thing

Mo Chi was stunned after he listened to Qin Ran’s story. Firstly, he was amazed by his wife’s intelligence, and secondly, his heart aches for her.

“Not only do I know that Qin Xue is Qin Chong’s illegitimate daughter, but I also know that Zhao Fang is not just a simple mistress.”

Qin Ran continued, “She was Qin Chong’s first love since he was young. However, Xing Li’s family background was not ordinary. She was the daughter of a wealthy family. When she first met Qin Chong, Qin Chong was in the stage of starting a business. He needed a lot of money and connections, so he chased Xing Li bitterly for these things. That was how the Qin Corporation was formed.”

After Qin Ran finished speaking, she thought to herself, The fact that Qin Chong could do these things when he was young was enough to prove that he was a scumbag. However, what was even worse was that he was unwilling to give up on his old love after having a new lover. He had always treated Zhao Fang as his lover and kept her by his side. He even brought their daughter to the Qin family and let Xing Li dote on her as the daughter of the Qin family.

Of course, Zhao Fang didn’t be with Qin Chong for so many years for nothing. She didn’t let her daughter enter the Qin family just to live a good life. Instead, she wanted to squeeze Xing Li out in the future and successfully rise to the top. In the future, she also wanted to control the Qin Corporation.

Anyway, that family was all black-hearted.

Mo Chi’s heart ached even more when he saw Qin Ran’s expression. Why did she have to bear all of this?

The sun was almost setting, and the color of the lake was dyed deeper.

Qin Ran continued, “In the past, my heart would still ache for Xing Li, and I would also be angry at Qin Chong. I always wondered why he would do these things. That was because I treated them as my parents in the past. Although our relationship wasn’t as deep as my adoptive parents’, I was willing to understand them more, integrate into their lives, and become their concern. However, the lack of more than ten years of companionship was not only because they were absent from my growth, but also because I was absent from their years. Therefore, it is very difficult to nurture feelings now.”

This was the first time Qin Ran had said these words to Mo Chi. She had never spoken this before. She felt that ever since Mo Chi accompanied her back to the countryside, she was willing to talk to him about many things.

Mo Chi reached out and rubbed Qin Ran’s hair. “I’ll be here in the future.”

“Then will you abandon me because of other things? Or will you leave me when you find out that I’m different from what you expected?”

Perhaps Mo Chi liked this innocent side of her. If he found out that her identity was so special one day, would he leave her?

“Of course not. No matter what happens, as long as you’re you, you’ll always be my wife,” Mo Chi said firmly, giving her a sense of security. Actually, he had the same concerns as Qin Ran too. After all, his status was special.

Mo Chi brought Qin Ran around the lake after saying this. Halfway through, Mo Chi said, “Actually, there’s something that you don’t know.”

The streetlights that gradually lit up around him emitted a faint yellow light that shone on Qin Ran’s puzzled expression. “What is it?”

“The matter of you getting lost back then.” Mo Chi hesitated for a long time. He couldn’t bear to tell the lass, but after thinking about it, the main party involved in this matter was Qin Ran. No matter if he couldn’t bear it or not, he still had to tell her the truth.

“Lost?” Perhaps many years had passed so she didn’t find any clues during the few months she lived in the Qin residence. Qin Ran didn’t expect there to be anything strange about her disappearance back then.

“Actually, it was Zhao Fang who did it when I investigated what happened back then.” After Mo Chi said this, he couldn’t bear to look at Qin Ran’s expression.

“Her?” If she was really the one who did it, it made sense now. If Qin Ran was still in the Qin family, why would Xing Li, who had her daughter by her side, agree to adopt an orphan?

After all, she and Qin Chong had only been married for a few years at that time. Qin Chong, whose career was still on the rise, needed his father-in-law’s help very much. Without Xing Li’s approval, he could not bring Qin Xue back to raise her.

“Is there anyone else involved?” Qin Ran was stunned for a while before asking.

Mo Chi nodded. “What we can confirm now is that Qin Chong is involved.”
