Chapter 311, contract 26

He Fen hesitated for a moment "But she said that she can find a witness, so our evidence is useless. Moreover, we don't know what kind of attitude Gong Mochen has towards her. If he makes a move, not only can she restore her name, but she can also stop the arrest."

"We can't just watch her be free and unfettered, right?" Qin Zixian's hand pounded on the table.

"Of course not. Let me have a think again. The property will definitely not be given to her! Let's think of a way to not alarm her," He Fen said in a huff.

"Well, it's good that she's back. I can torture her!" Qin Zixian said.

The maid knocked on the door. "Madam, Miss, Master wants you to go downstairs and eat."

He Fen snorted angrily. "Got it."

She turned to look at Qin Zixian. "Do you see? Your father still wants us to welcome her! It seems as if she has him wrapped around her finger..."

"Let's go and eat. I want to see if she can keep a straight face when facing me!" Qin Zixian strode out of the room.

In the dining room, Qin Sheng saw Qin Zixian, He Fen, and Ye Wei walking in.

"Auntie's leg is healed? I didn't expect Auntie's leg to be cured after having a heart attack." She looked at Qin Zixian.

"It must've been a miracle. I have no idea how my leg healed so suddenly. Many doctors couldn't even treat it. Maybe God felt that life was too unfair on me, and he's finally making it up to me!" Qin Zixian said.

Qin Sheng closed her eyes slightly. Life wasn't fair to Qin Zixian? Qin Zixian planted a bomb on Gong Mochen and then blamed it on her... Her leg can't have been injured that badly!

"I wonder what Doctor Ye thinks about my aunt's leg injury?" She changed the topic, focussing on Ye Wei. This woman had been by Qin Zixian's side for four years. She didn't believe that Ye Wei wouldn't know about Qin Zixian's condition, especially considering her profound medical skills.

Ye Wei's face was pale. "It's... it's possible. Her nerves likely healed because of various reasons, and now she can walk."

Ye Wei stammered out an explanation... An explanation that didn't sound believable at all.

Zheng Min strode into the dining room. "What a rare guest! If the maid hadn't told me, I would have thought that she had turned into a corpse!"

She said it in a tone that was neither negative nor positive, hiding her feelings towards Qin Sheng. But when she saw Qin Sheng, she thought of her daughter and her heart was filled with hatred!

Ye Wei let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zheng Min changed the topic...

"Second Sister-in-law, didn't you hear that good people don't live long?" Qin Zixian said.

She didn't mention Qin Yunting's name in case old wounds were torn open. But judging by Zheng Min's demeanour and reaction, those wounds were already gaping.

Zheng Min wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sat next to He Fen. "Yes, my daughter died unjustly!"

The corner of Qin Sheng's lips twitched. Qin Yunting died unjustly?

"The law of Heaven is always in place, and those who die are meant to die. I think it's better for Second Aunt not to be conflicted. Otherwise, you can go find Cousin and help her seek justice..."

Zheng Min pursed her lips. If she was asked to find Qin Yunting and help Qin Yunting seek justice, wouldn't she have to die before she could do that?

Qin Zixian's lips twitched. "Why are you giving me this set of cutlery? Didn't I tell you that I need to use the selenium bowl and chopsticks that Third Brother ordered for me? Selenium is very good for the human body and can prolong life."

The maids were confused. Yesterday, Qin Zixian had told them not to put that set of cutlery out for her.

However, they didn't dare to argue with their master, so they could only do as she commanded.

Zheng Min seemed to have found an opportunity, so she quickly said, "Little Uncle really cares about you if he buys you special cutlery that'll help you live longer. He has taken good care of you over the past four years. The ring on your hand was also a birthday gift from him, right?"

She looked at Qin Sheng, deciding that she would torture Qin Sheng to death!

Qin Zixian smiled slightly. "Yes, that's right. This ring is a famous ring. It wasn't easy to find such a big diamond. It was hard for Third Brother to find it as a birthday gift for me."

Of course, she wouldn't tell them that she deliberately hurt herself when Gong Mochen was helping her, which made Gong Mochen feel guilt. That had enabled her to blackmail him into buying this birthday gift for her.

This was also the only present Gong Mochen had ever given to her.

"How enviable. Uncle is really good at treating people. The jewelry our Zi Rui bought for me can't even be compared to that ring!" Zheng Min continued.

Qin Ze's finger knocked on the table. "Let's eat!"

He Fen coughed lightly. "Alright, Mochen has already broken off the engagement with our Zixian. Let's not talk about it anymore!"

She had already seen Qin Ze's unhappy expression and could only stop the two woman from talking.

Zheng Min completely ignored her mother-in-law's expression and continued to speak loudly, "I saw on the news that the only reason Gong Mochen broke off the engagement was because a certain person climbed into his bed and offended him... He forced that person to his side to punish and torture her."

Qin Zixian laughed coldly and said, "Yes you're right! What kind of person is Third Brother if he doesn't punish the people who hurt him? He has always hated being manipulated by people. If someone wants to rise to the top and manipulate him to get there, of course he hates it!

"You've been climbing into Third Brother's bed since you were young and you've finally achieved what you wanted, but you're still despised by him. I wonder, how do you feel about Third Brother staying in the Moonlight Club on the first day of your engagement?"

She mocked Qin Sheng. She wanted Qin Sheng to regret coming back to the Qin family!

"She'll hopefully feel very happy about it, because I helped her settle a matter. She needed models for the fashion show..."

A man's voice echoed into the dining room.

Qin Zixian looked at the man who walked in, her mouth slowly drooping open.

Why did he come back? Qin Ze only called him when he needed help...

Qin Sheng was stunned. "You knew that Chu Xia needed models for her fashion show?"

Her eyes locked on Gong Mochen's face. Chu Xia wanted to have her own fashion show. She'd asked Le Le and a modelling company to help her hire Qiao, but Qiao had never been able to come. The schedule of a few other well-known modelling companies also clashed with Chu Xia's needs.

The fashion show was going to be held next week, and they didn't want to use the models from small modelling agencies. Hiring a big shot model was the best option for them. It would definitely affect the aura of the fashion show!

"Yes, this is the contract. It has been signed for you, and it was negotiated with Yu Fan's help. She has a good relationship with those models, and she used her connections to secure them. Take the contract, and I will set the price for you," Gong Mochen said as he sat beside Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng took the contract and looked at it. Her eyes were wide open. She had offered five times more than this price at that time, but no one was willing to accept her terms.

"Thank you, Uncle!" she said automatically.

It was a habit she had since she was young. She couldn't help calling him uncle.

Qin Zixian's face darkened. It turned out that the night Gong Mochen spent with Yu Fan wasn't what the news had guessed!

Ye Wei helped Gong Mochen with the bowls and chopsticks. "President Gong, you eat."

Gong mochen nodded slightly. "Thank you."

Ye Wei's heart skipped a beat. The man didn't even look at her.

She walked back to her seat dejectedly and sat beside Qin Zixian.

Qin Sheng picked up her phone and called Le Le, asking her to speed up the preparations for the fashion show.

Qin Ze knocked on the table. "It's rare for our whole family to have a meal together, so let's not talk about official business. Today, we'll only talk about family ties."

Qin Sheng had a full meal. Gong Mochen was the same as before. He gave her food and her bowl was always full.

After eating, she went upstairs to her room to rest. When the door opened, she ran into the room in surprise...
