Chapter 68: Chapter 68: You’re Feeling Guilty_1
Xue Xiaochan took out her phone and dialed Qin Feng’s number.
After several attempts, the call was finally answered.
"Hello!"
"Hello, my foot! Why did it take you so long to answer? Where are you?"
"Keep talking like that and you’ll scare away any potential husbands."
"Cut the crap, and tell me where you are right now."
"Guess."
"Guess my ass! Tell me straight, are you with Ouyang Bingbing? Was it you who posted that Weibo? "
"Wife, you’re so sharp; you hit the nail on the head."
"Where are you guys?"
"In a place nobody knows about."
"A place nobody knows about? What are you doing there?"
"I’m treating her face! Didn’t you see the Weibo? Her face turned out like that; I have to fix it! Otherwise, how can I have her promote our Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream?"
"When are you coming home?"
"Uh... I might not be able to come home these next few days."
"Can’t come home? What do you mean by that? What are you planning to do?"
"I need to fix Ouyang Bingbing’s face! With the state of her face right now, do you think it can be fixed quickly? But rest assured, wife. By the time our Imperial Concubine’s Beauty Cream hits the market, Ouyang Bingbing’s face will definitely be fixed. Then I’ll come back."
"You dog, you better stay in line. I’ll video call you when you’re going to sleep at night. If there’s someone else in the room, you’ll see what I’ll do to you."
"What’s the matter? You’re lacking confidence even facing a forty- or fifty-year-old aunty?"
"Who’s lacking confidence? What confidence? We have nothing to do with each other; you’re not my anything! You can mess around with whoever you want. It’s none of my business!"
Xue Xiaochan angrily reprimanded him a few times, then hung up the phone.
Even though she said that, the thought of Qin Feng being with Ouyang Bingbing for the next few days,
Even if it was to treat her face,
Xiaochan felt very uncomfortable.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Feng found it amusing.
Of course, he had to listen to what Xue Xiaochan said!
Especially the last part, he had to take it seriously.
As soon as the phone was hung up, Ouyang Bingbing came over.
"Whose call was that? Why did you hide out in the yard?"
"My wife’s."
This response shocked Ouyang Bingbing.
She screamed, "You have a wife?"
"Why the fuss? It’s a fake marriage."
"What do you mean ’fake marriage’?"
"It means she didn’t want to marry another man, so she forced me to go get a marriage certificate with her. To compensate for my emotional suffering, she pays me twenty million every month."
"And then what?"
"What do you mean ’and then’?"
"She pays you twenty million each month just to get a marriage certificate? No other requests?"
"None at all! If there were any, I’d have to charge more!"
"Shameless!" Ouyang Bingbing rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and asked curiously, "Who is that woman?"
"She’s my business partner now, the former President of Haiyun Group, Xue Xiaochan."
"Xiaochan? Xiaochan from the Xue Family of the Capital? Isn’t she renowned for her stunning beauty? You’re telling me not only did you have a fake marriage with her, she also pays you twenty million a month? If she wanted a man for a fake marriage, don’t you know how many men would be queuing up for that? Right, why did she choose you?"
"Isn’t it obvious? I have big luck! The man the Xue Family forced her to marry is the eldest grandson of the Jian Family, one of The Eight Great Families of the Capital, Jian Shichao. So, don’t think light of the twenty million she gave me a month; it was like putting my life on the line."
"Aren’t you afraid of the Jian Family?"
"I’m not even afraid of the king of heaven, let alone the Jian Family!"
"Suppose, just suppose, because she got a marriage license with you, Xiaochan doesn’t end up marrying Jian Shichao and you two luckily get through this. Will you get a divorce right after overcoming this hurdle?"
"That depends on Xiaochan!"
"What if she doesn’t want to divorce you and actually wants to marry you for real?"
"Could I be that lucky?"
"You think that’s a stroke of luck?"
"A national beauty from a wealthy and influential family of the Capital is willing to marry down to me. How is that not a stroke of luck?"
"Do you like her?"
"I like all beautiful women."
"Then, do you like me?"
"Of course, I do!"
"If, and I mean if, you had to choose between me and Xiaochan, who would you choose?"
"I’d want both!"
"You can only choose one."
"Her on odd days, you on even days, and I take a rest on Sundays."
"You scoundrel! You want a harem, don’t you?"
"A harem is the glorious tradition left by our ancestors, as a descendant of the dragon, I must carry on this tradition!"
"You’re such a jerk! There’s not a single reliable word that comes out of your mouth!"
Ouyang Bingbing stomped her feet in anger.
She found that it was simply impossible to have a proper conversation with this guy.
This bastard only looked a bit serious when treating patients, resembling someone of high-standing.
At all other times, he was just a little hoodlum, a little rascal.
Shameless!
...
The dead of night.
The journalists camped outside the Huanmei Group’s headquarters, unable to wait for Yu Keqing to appear, finally dispersed.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, dressed in a sharp suit and looking every part the part of a respectable gentleman, entered the CEO’s office.
He was Qin Dongrui, the president of the Sanrenhe Group, the second son of the Qin Family, holding the reins of the family’s financial power.
The moment Yu Keqing saw Qin Dongrui enter, she immediately stood up, tense.
"President Qin, what brings you here?"
"What brings me here? You tell me, what brings me here? Huanmei Group is now famous, world-famous! Go online and see how many people are demanding compensation from Huanmei Group for the damage caused by Huanmei Beauty Cream to their faces!"
"President Qin, this is a misunderstanding. You have to believe me; just give me some time, and I can sort this out. After a while, the truth will come out, and the group’s reputation will be restored."
"How can I believe you? How can you make me believe you?"
Qin Dongrui stared straight at Yu Keqing, eyeing up the voluptuous body of the beauty in front of him.
He had been deeply attracted to her the first time he saw her and swore he had to bed her, but unfortunately, he hadn’t succeeded yet.
This time, Huanmei Group was facing a major crisis.
Holding the financial authority of the Sanrenhe Group, he needed only a word to bankrupt Huanmei Group. Similarly, with just a word from him, Huanmei Group could be reborn. For the Qin Family, suppressing the current small public opinion was as easy as flipping one’s hand.
