Qin Youxuan glared at Jin Lan, “This whole situation is targeting me! Dad, even if you favor her over me, you should still consider this, I just returned to the country! Other than this woman who wishes me gone, who else would be eager to ruin my reputation?”
“Also,” Qin Youxuan gripped the magazine, stepping forward, “I saw the housekeeper with a package the other day, he said it was hers. I wonder, what was inside that package? If I’m not mistaken, she never buys things online.”
Qin Youxuan spoke with conviction and anger surged when she thought about this woman stirring up trouble, her grip on the magazine tightened.
“Good gracious, my dear missy, don’t blame me for your own lack of control. I stay home all day, how could I possibly know you’ve gotten yourself into such a scandal? Don’t try to put this on me.”
Jin Lan glanced at Qin MO, seeing that he seemed to be considering the possibility that she was involved. She started to panic.
“Fine, you claim I set you up with those photos, tell me, did you or did you not go to a nightclub like Zhi Shang? It’s not like I forced you to go there. MO, I know being a stepmother is hard. I’ve been very careful to avoid conflict with her. But she is the one getting into trouble and now she wants to drag me down with her. Do you think I have it easy?”
Jin Lan nestled into the man’s arms, seemingly on the verge of tears.
“You…” Qin Youxuan ground her teeth in fury.
Her visit to Zhi Shang was not what people think, but now it has become a weapon people use against her.
Qin Youxuan was in the right but she couldn’t make her point clear.
“The person in the photos is you, you walked into Zhi Shang yourself, what else is there to say?” Qin Mo’s mood had gradually calmed, he looked at Qin
Youxuan.
He did not chastise Jin Lan based on her statement, but he was no longer overly infuriated.
The man had a stern, cold expression. His gaze towards Jin Lan held a hint of warning. She attempted to say something more, but ultimately held her tongue.
“Since you admitted to being the person in the photos, regardless of right or wrong, or how much the photos exaggerate the situation, you need to stay at home to reflect on your actions during this period. Don’t go to the company!” Qin MO made his decision final.
“I don’t agree!”
She returned to the country to work at the Qin Group. Now being put on ice because of a false accusation, she simply couldn’t accept it.
“You don’t agree? My daughter, you’ve become a real laughingstock. The company’s stock is fluctuating due to your personal image. At a time like this, do you think the shareholders would agree to you joining the company? Do you think you can justify yourself to them merely by claiming it’s a misunderstanding?”
Qin Mo’s voice sank. He looked at Qin Youxuan unhappily.
“I told you I was framed! I will find evidence to prove that the woman next to you set me up. When that time comes, I hope you will give me an explanation!” eyes narrowed with anger. She stormed back to her room, quickly packed a bag and headed for the door.
“Stop!” Qin MO spotted the bag in her hand and snapped, “Haven’t you caused enough trouble? The media is everywhere outside. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
“It wasn’t my fault, I won’t let anyone accuse me wrongfully!”
Qin Youxuan didn’t stop walking. She dialed Ning Yanan’s number as she walked out of the house.
She quickly left the Qin family’s residence through the back door.
“What a headache!” Qin MO slammed the table in frustration. Seeing Qin Youxuan’s defiant departure, he suddenly felt chest pains and his face turned pale.
“MO, MO! Don’t scare me….
