Chapter 48: Transfer the Money to Me and I Will Give You What You Want

Translator: Amber97

While the two of them were confronting each other, Qu Wan opened her eyes. Lin Yiyi immediately stopped arguing with Ling Mubai and came to the bedside. “Wanwan, are you okay? Do you need me to call the doctor over?”

“I am so thirsty!” Qu Wan was in desperate need of water now.

Lin Yiyi turned to get some water. However, Ling Mubai had already handed a glass to Qu Wan.

After drinking half a glass of water, she felt much better. Lin Yiyi held her hand and glared at Ling Mubai. “Wanwan, did any bastard bully you?”

Knowing that she was referring to Ling Mubai, Qu Wan shook her head and looked at him. “Mr. Ling, thanks for saving me. I’m already fine. Sorry to have taken up too much of your time. You can feel free to leave now.”

Ling Mubai stood still and fixed his eyes on her.

Qu Wan had no choice but to repeat her words, “Mr. Ling, I have something to say with Yiyi. Please go out first, okay?”

Ling Mubai hesitated for a moment, for he didn’t want to leave so quickly. Lin Yiyi couldn’t help yelling at him, “Are you deaf? Wanwan asked you to go away. Why are you still standing here?”

Wearing a glum look, Ling Mubai took a glance at Lin Yiyi. Then his gaze fell on Qu Wan again. “Wanwan, I’m in the corridor. Call me if you need help.”

Upon Ling Mubai’s leaving, Lin Yiyi couldn’t wait to ask, “Wanwan, what happened? Why did you become like this?”

Qu Wan instantly burst into tears. “Yiyi, Wei Lianheng is a bad guy. I… I thought I couldn’t see you again.”

“Did he hit you? He is truly a bastard!” The first possibility occurred to Lin Yiyi was that Wei Lianheng might have used violence against Wanwan.

“That’s not the case.” Qu Wan told Lin Yiyi what happened to her last night in great detail, and Lin Yiyi instantly flew into a rage.

“That damned asshole! If I meet him again, I will tear him into pieces!”

This incident was so horrible, and even Lin Yiyi broke out in a cold sweat. If Ling Mubai hadn’t appeared in time, something more terrible might have happened to Qu Wan.

“Why did Ling Mubai run to the abandoned suburban village in the middle of the night?”

Qu Wan shook her head. “I don’t know. He didn’t tell me, nor did I ask him.”

When she woke up this morning, she found herself lying naked in Ling Mubai’s arms. She was so angry and embarrassed that she forgot to ask about last night’s accident.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yiyi said, “Wanwan, there was no enmity between you and Wei Lianheng. It’s impossible for him to spend so much time plotting against you. There must be someone behind it.”

Qu Wan held the same opinion, but she didn’t expect to have such a grudge with anyone.

“Could it be that Ling Mubai deliberately asked Wei Lianheng to kidnap you? In that case, he could appear at a critical moment to save you. Otherwise, it was so strange for him to appear there in the middle of the night despite the heavy rain.”

“Ling Mubai asked someone to kidnap me?” After being stunned for a few seconds, Qu Wan immediately shook her head. “He wouldn’t do such despicable things.”

“I think it’s possible! Since he betrayed you in marriage back then, he can do any dirty and disgusting thing!” Lin Yiyi didn’t have any favourable feeling of Ling Mubai.

“Then what’s his purpose?” Qu Wan couldn’t figure out why Ling Mubai did this.

“The reason is quite simple. After being humiliated by so many netizens, he was mad with anger, and he deliberately retaliated against you!”

“Well…” Qu Wan still didn’t believe it. In her impression, although Ling Mubai was a scumbag, he wouldn’t go too far.

“It’s hard to see through a person. Since he could do such disgusting things back then, you can’t be too careful. In short, remember that the sufferings you have now were all caused by his previous shameless behaviors. Don’t ever believe his words again!”

Qu Wan nodded. “I know. I won’t have anything to do with him!”

Neither did Lin Yiyi nor Ling Mubai believe that Wei Lianheng would conceive such a plan to harm Qu Wan for no reason.

With a deep frown, Ling Mubai sat on the bench in the corridor. He suddenly thought of Wang Zicheng. It might be possible that his family sent someone to harm Qu Wan after seeing him confess love to Qu Wan on TV. In that case, the Wang family’s reputation could be saved.

Although Wang Zicheng didn’t have a good reputation, he had always been highly regarded by his father, who cultivated him as the rightful heir. The Wang family would never allow him to marry a divorced woman.

However, this was just a suspicion. Since Ling Mubai had no evidence, it was inappropriate for him to tell this to Qu Wan.

To prevent a similar accident from happening again, he had to pay more attention to Qu Wan from now on.

Ling Mubai called his assistant and asked him to investigate if the Wang family had any contact with Wei Lianheng. He also asked the assistant to keep an eye on the Wang family.

After hanging up, he found that there were several missed calls from Jiang Xinyue.

Frowning, Ling Mubai called her back. “What’s up?”

Jiang Xinyue’s charming voice sounded. “Mubai, when do you get off work tonight? Mother bought fresh ingredients and wanted to invite you and Aunty Sun to dinner.”

“I have no time!” Ling Mubai answered.

After he hung up impatiently, Jiang Xinyue lowered her head and turned to the chef in the kitchen. “There’s no need to prepare dinner.”

Hearing her voice, Qin Surong came downstairs. “What’s wrong?”

“Mubai said that he didn’t have time for dinner tonight.” Jiang Xinyue leaned against the sofa and answered in a sullen mood.

“Is he busy at work recently?” Qin Surong didn’t believe it.

When a man said he was busy, he must be making an excuse. Three years ago, the Ling family was facing a big crisis. Back then, no matter how busy Ling Mubai was, he would spare the time to have meals with Qu Wan.

Jiang Xinyue asked grudgingly, “Mom, didn’t you say that you have found a way to deal with Qu Wan? Why is there still no news? ”

Glancing at the door, Qin Surong noticed that Jiang Zhendong hadn’t come back yet. She glared at Jiang Xinyue and lowered her voice. “I’ve reminded you for so many times. Do watch your tongue!“

“I’m so anxious!” Jiang Xinyue said, pulling a long face. “I can’t sleep well until I get some good news.”

“Don’t worry. There will be news soon,” Qin Surong said with confidence.

“Mother, what exactly did you do? Why didn’t you tell me?” Jiang Xinyue was curious about how Qin Surong had dealt with Qu Wan.

“Don’t ask so much. You just need to know that Qu Wan will soon lose her reputation. Even God can’t save her this time!”

Seeing the maid walk over to clean the table, Qin Surong quickly changed the topic. “Ms. Li, please go outside and buy some fresh fruits.”

After Ms. Li went out, Jiang Xinyue asked curiously, “Mubai won’t come here tonight. Why did you still ask Ms. Li to buy fruits?”

Qin Surong said mysteriously, “Actually, she is going to ask about the latest news.”

When Jiang Zhendong came back in the evening, he saw Qin Surong walking over to help him put away the suitcase. “Zhendong, sit down for a while. I’ll make you some tea.”

After a while, Qin Surong went back to the living room and put a cup of tea in front of him. “Have you seen Wanwan recently?”

“No!” Jiang Zhendong answered coldly. Last time, he tried to persuade Wanwan not to be with Wei Lianheng. However, Wanwan didn’t take his advice, which greatly angered him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhendong felt depressed. “I’m doing it for her own good, but she is ungrateful. What’s worse, she shows no respect for me!”

“Wanwan still hates us, but it’s not her fault. After all, we hurt her mother in the first place. It’s reasonable for her to be angry with us. Just keep in touch with her, and she will gradually forgive you,” Qin Surong consoled him.

“Even if she hates us, she can’t make light of her own marriage. Wei Lianheng is no match for her at all!” Jiang Zhendong was furious when thinking of this.

“She’s still young, so you have to persuade her when she does something wrong!” Qin Surong pretended to be a considerate wife. “I just asked Ms. Li to buy the seafood. Send some to Wanwan and have a good talk with her. After all, she is our family member. As her father, you must care more about her.”

Qin Surong’s words sounded so sincere, and Jiang Zhendong also felt she made a point. After making up his mind, he went out with a bag of seafood.

Jiang Xinyue didn’t understand why Qin Surong did this. They hated Qu Wan’s guts. Why did Jiang Xinyue suddenly send her seafood?

However, her mother always had a good reason for doing things, and Jiang Xinyue didn’t ask more.

Jiang Zhendong drove out less than an hour before coming back. He was still holding the seafood he had brought with him.

Qin Surong went to greet him and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Did Wanwan refuse to take things from you?”

“No.” Jiang Zhendong went back to the living room and sat down. “Wanwan is sick and hospitalized. She’s not at home.”

“What illness? Is it serious? Why didn’t you go to the hospital to see her?” Qin Surong asked with a worried look.

“Ask Ms. Li to cook some chicken soup. I’ll bring the soup to the hospital to see her.”

“Alright. I’ll get it prepared right away.” Qin Surong rushed into the kitchen and prepared the soup with Ms. Li. Then she personally escorted Jiang Zhendong out.

After his car disappeared from her sight, Qin Surong no longer wore a worried expression. Instead, she looked rather complacent.

Jiang Xinyue couldn’t help asking, “Mom, did your plan work well?”

“Qu Wan was already in the hospital this morning. Those people must have succeeded last night!” Qin Surong put on a sinister smile. “But why didn’t Wei Lianhang call to ask for money?”

As she was puzzled, her phone rang. After glancing at the number, Qin Surong immediately went upstairs and entered her bedroom.

After the phone was connected, a hoarse voice sounded. “Mrs. Jiang, things have been settled. Transfer the money to me and I will give you what you want.”

Qin Surong was ecstatic. “I’ll give you the rest of the money right away.”

Jiang Xinyue followed her into the bedroom. Seeing her mother so happy, she knew something good must have happened.

After hanging up, Qin Surong said excitedly, “Xinyue, it’s done. Qu Wan won’t be able to threaten you and Mubai anymore! After transferring the money to them, I will show you a good thing!”

She took out her bank card and transferred thirty thousand yuan to Wei Lianheng’s account. Jiang Xinyue asked out of worry, “Mother, you haven’t gotten that thing yet. What if you get cheated?”

“This person was introduced by an acquaintance, so he won’t lie to me. Besides, Qu Wan is already in the hospital. My plan must have succeeded!”

After transferring the money for a long time, Qin Surong still didn’t get any response. She started to become a little anxious.

However, before she got what she wanted, Jiang Zhendong came back first.

Qin Surong walked over. “Zhendong, why are you back so soon?”
