"Lin Mu, don't take to heart what Second Uncle and the others said just now." After Qin Hongshu and the other man left, Qin Luoli looked at Lin Mu with so apprehension and offered an explanation.
"It's fine." Lin Mu thought for a mont before saying, "They're right, anyway. Being with isn't good for you."
My great revenge is yet to be exacted. Coupled with the recent ergence of new enemies, having Qin Luoli with would only lead to worry and fear, and could even bring her danger. It would be better to clear things up sooner rather than later.
Lin Mu said, "Once I've settled my mother's affairs, let's get a divorce."
Qin Luoli was startled, feeling an inexplicable stab of pain in her heart.
"Lin Mu, what do you an? Do you really think I, Qin Luoli, am that kind of person?" Qin Luoli's eyes reddened, and her voice carried a hint of grievance. This jerk! Bringing up divorce ti and ti again. Does he find that repulsive?
"That's not what I an," Lin Mu said. "Being with will only harm you."
Sniffling, Qin Luoli looked at Lin Mu and said, "I'm not afraid!"
During this ti, she had gradually discovered that this man had started to make his way into her heart. Lin Mu was not as useless as he usually appeared. On the contrary, he was proud, with a strong and domineering personality, and was quite capable. All of this indicated that Lin Mu was no ordinary man.
He keeps suggesting divorce because he wants to get rid of . This ungrateful man!
"Anyway, I absolutely refuse to agree to a divorce!" Qin Luoli huffed. "If you bring it up again, I'll go tell Mom and have her deal with you!"
This really hit Lin Mu where it hurt. He said helplessly, "Qin Luoli, what will it take for you to agree to a divorce?"
This foolish woman. We're simply not from the sa world. Being with will only bring her harm.
Qin Luoli huffed coldly. "Divorce? Don't even think about it! Since you're so worried about being in danger, you'd better protect properly. Otherwise, if anything happens to , you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life!"
Lin Mu frowned. Is this woman threatening ?
Before Lin Mu could speak, Qin Luoli continued, "You'll accompany to the party hosted by Luo Jinping. I'll see if I can ask Master Sun to treat Grandpa."
"I'm not going," Lin Mu imdiately refused. He had too much to deal with. He had just wiped out that organization's base and still needed to check out the Enjoynt Bar ntioned by the sniper to find out who was pulling the strings.
"Your refusal is invalid!" Qin Luoli began to act shalessly. "If you don't go, I'll make Mom go with ."
"You..." Lin Mu said, his head starting to ache, "We'll see when the ti cos." He was truly at a loss with this woman.
Qin Luoli humd triumphantly, then suddenly said, "It's late. Let's go to bed."
Without waiting for Lin Mu to respond, she walked straight to the bedroom, as proud as a victorious peacock.
Lin Mu had considered refusing, but the thought of lying next to this woman wasn't so bad, so he followed her.
「Eight o'clock the next evening.」
The entrance of the Four Seas Hotel was lined with all sorts of luxury cars. At a glance, the cheapest was worth at least several hundred thousand, and there were plenty worth over a million as well. n and won in glamorous attire were stepping out of their vehicles and heading toward the hotel's main entrance.
Soon, a red BMW pulled up, and a young man and woman stepped out. The woman was clad in a black, off-the-shoulder evening gown. She was tall, with a stunning appearance and an exceptional aura. The black gown against her fair skin only added to her radiance.
It was, of course, Qin Luoli. The man by her side was Lin Mu.
At this mont, Lin Mu was dressed in a fine blue suit. Paired with his handso and aloof deanor, he attracted the attention of nurous won.
Seeing many girls casting stealthy glances at Lin Mu, Qin Luoli chuckled softly. "I never thought you'd be so handso when you dress up. I've noticed quite a few girls sending you flirtatious looks, you know."
She was unaware, however, that countless n were also staring at her. So even shot hostile glares at Lin Mu, making him quite uncomfortable.
Lin Mu shot the woman a look. He hadn't wanted to co but couldn't withstand her incessant pestering. She had even tattled to Lady Su, and after a scolding, Lin Mu had no choice but to agree to attend this party.
"Oh, don't look so grim. Since we're here, try to have so fun," Qin Luoli said, amused by Lin Mu's sullen expression. Lin Mu had flatly refused to accompany her before, but the mont she brought his mother into it, he caved. Seeing the domineering and assertive Lin Mu being hustled out the door by his own mother was truly a rare sight.
"Sorry, but I have no interest in such boring gatherings," Lin Mu said flatly. He was incredibly disgruntled about being dragged here by Qin Luoli for so so-called Master Sun.
"Alright, alright, we're already here. Just think of it as keeping company," Qin Luoli said, holding Lin Mu's arm and swinging it gently. She blinked and added, "Besides, I can make it up to you later."
Qin Luoli had no idea what a stir her actions were causing. She had always projected a proud and aloof image, and seeing her act with such girlish coyness was a first for many. As a result, the hostility toward Lin Mu intensified, and everyone began to speculate about his identity.
"Alright, the banquet is about to begin. Let's head up," Qin Luoli said, pulling Lin Mu toward the hotel.
The Four Seas Hotel was a property of the Luo Family, and the party was being held in a club on the top floor. The entire hotel was closed to the public today, reserved solely for the event.
Master Sun's reputation was imnse. Furthermore, during his visit to River City, he was rumored to be looking for a disciple and might even offer dical treatnt. Consequently, many business people and mbers of the dia had co, not just from River City but from other cities as well, all hoping to catch a glimpse of the revered master.
As the two reached the hotel entrance, Qin Luoli handed over their invitation. The greeter inspected it, then glanced at Lin Mu. "President Qin, I'm sorry. You may enter, but he cannot."
Qin Luoli was taken aback. Her smile faded as she asked, "Why can't he co in?"
The greeter bowed slightly. "The invitation is only for you, President Qin. It doesn't ntion bringing a guest. Therefore... I apologize."
Qin Luoli sneered internally. This must be Luo Jinping's doing, a shaless attempt to deliberately humiliate Lin Mu.
"Lin Mu is my husband. If he can't go in, then I won't attend this party either," Qin Luoli snorted, turning to leave with Lin Mu.
"President Qin..." The greeter's expression changed. If Qin Luoli left, the young master's plan would be ruined.
"Heh, who would've thought the president of the Qin Corporation would give a re server such a hard ti? It's not very becoming of your status," a light chuckle sounded from behind them just as they were about to leave.
