"My company is called... cut it out, you're just trying to fish information out of , I'm not telling you!" Su Chen was about to reveal the company's na when he suddenly thought, what if his company really couldn't compete with the iceberg's company? That'd be just embarrassing himself.
Moreover, given iceberg's connections, what if they pulled so strings and got him fired, losing such a good job? There really would be nowhere to cry.
Fortunately, Su Chen didn't want to talk, and Lin Xi couldn't be bothered to ask.
Dinner was still made by Qiu Jinghan, originally Lin Xi didn't want Qiu Jinghan to cook, but Qiu Jinghan insisted on doing it.
During the al, not a single word was spoken.
The atmosphere was quite awkward.
After eating, Qiu Jinghan went to clean up the dishes while Lin Xi returned to her room.
This workaholic, even when she's at ho, could never stop working.
Sotis Su Chen really wondered, are there really won in the world who love money this much?
For the sake of money, they disregard their own lives?
Passing by the kitchen, Su Chen suddenly saw Qiu Jinghan looking sowhat out of it, even wiping tears from her eyes.
In fact, he felt sothing was off during dinner.
Qiu Jinghan had disguised it well, but he could still see a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Only, with Lin Xi around at that ti, it wasn't convenient for him to ask.
He imdiately went into the kitchen.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
Qiu Jinghan, upon noticing Su Chen's presence, hurriedly wiped her eyes with her hand, then said, "Nothing's wrong, Su Chen."
Even though Qiu Jinhan was more than a decade older than Su Chen, the experiences Su Chen had gone through were far beyond what any normal person could imagine.
"Auntie, we're not strangers. If there's sothing bothering you, just tell ."
"Really, it's nothing, Su Chen," Qiu Jinghan hurriedly shook her head.
Without saying another word, Su Chen went straight to washing the dishes.
"Su Chen, you shouldn't!" Qiu Jinghan was a bit anxious. Su Chen had cooked and washed dishes yesterday, which already made her feel very uncomfortable.
Those were her responsibilities, yet the master did them for her.
What's the point of having a servant like her?
"Auntie, I won't wash the dishes if you want, but you must tell what's going on!" Su Chen said earnestly.
Although he hadn't seen Qiu Jinghan many tis, whenever he did, she always wore a warm smile, except for yesterday and today.
Clearly, the reason Qiu Jinghan cut her hand while chopping vegetables was because she was distracted.
Qiu Jinghan couldn't resist Su Chen's persistence and finally gritted her teeth and spoke up.
It turned out her husband had ended up in prison a long ti ago for committing a cri, and she had struggled to raise her daughter on her own.
A few years ago, Qiu Jinghan beca Lin Xi's nanny. Lin Xi treated her very well, and her daughter was also in high school. Life was not too bad.
But the arrival of one person disrupted everything.
That person was Qiu Jinghan's husband.
Her husband had been released from prison!
Actually, according to the law, they were no longer married.
The law stipulated that being separated for two years ant giving up the marital relationship.
Qiu Jinghan had already filed for divorce with the court.
But after her husband got out of prison, he just freeloaded at her place, eating and drinking. But that wasn't the worst; he constantly asked her for money, and when she didn't give him any, he'd beat her.
Qiu Jinghan knew that if Lin Xi got involved, with her capabilities, she might be able to help her, but she didn't want to cause trouble for Lin Xi.
Plus, Chen Daming was a gang mber, acquainted with many unscrupulous people. She feared bringing harm to Lin Xi, so she dared not ntion it.
"Is he still at ho now?" Su Chen asked.
"He probably is..."
"Then, I'll go back ho with you," Su Chen said.
Originally, Qiu Jinghan didn't want Su Chen to go, but she really had no other choice and thus agreed.
Bright District, located in Jiangdu City, is considered a mid-to-upper range district.
On the eighth floor of the complex.
"Dad, didn't you say Mom would be back soon? Why hasn't she co back yet?" A 15- to 16-year-old girl, quite pretty, looked doubtfully at the bald man in front of her.
"Don't worry, keep Uncle Guo company and have a drink. Your mom will be back in a bit," the bald man chuckled.
"Co on, Chen Qian, have a drink with Uncle Guo," said a man in his forties, flashing his yellow teeth in a grin.
"I'm not drinking!" The way the middle-aged man looked at her made Chen Qian feel extrely uncomfortable, so she pushed him away imdiately, and the glass fell to the floor, spilling alcohol everywhere.
The middle-aged man's face darkened instantly.
"Boss Guo, don't be mad, don't be mad, I'll handle this!" Chen Daming tried to appease him while slapping Chen Qian across the face.
Then he dragged Chen Qian by the hair towards a room.
"You shaless thing, I've raised you for so long, and now it's ti for you to repay !"
"Let go of , let go!" Chen Qian struggled, but it was in vain.
Soon, she was tied up with ropes by Chen Daming.
"Boss Guo, everything's ready," Chen Daming erged from the bedroom, looking eagerly at the middle-aged man.
The man known as Boss Guo took out a bundle of cash from his pocket and threw it to Chen Daming.
"Help, let go!"
When Su Chen and Qiu Jinghan reached the door, they happened to hear Chen Qian screaming.
Su Chen's face darkened, and without a word, he kicked the door open, then grabbed the middle-aged fat man and hurled him to the floor.
"Who the hell are you?" The middle-aged man cursed as he fumbled to put his pants back on.
"Get lost!" Su Chen bellowed, which startled Guo Hong.
Looking into Su Chen's eyes, he felt as if he saw not a man's eyes, but those of a wild beast.
"Chen Daming, you dare to screw over, you just wait, I'll make you pay!" The middle-aged man cursed as he left.
"Chen Daming, you beast, you bastard, how could you... she's your daughter, how could you..." After finding out what happened, Qiu Jinghan flew at Chen Daming, hitting and cursing him.
Chen Daming slapped Qiu Jinghan across the face and yelled, "Like you said, she's my daughter, what's wrong with making a little money off her?"
"Chen Daming, you're not human!" Qiu Jinghan covered her face and wept.
Chen Daming raised his hand to continue hitting Qiu Jinghan but was stopped as Su Chen grabbed his wrist, which he couldn't shake off.
"Who the hell are you, what business is it of yours if I hit my wife!"
Su Chen's expression turned icy, "Who am I? I'm her man!"
