C12 He Made a Show of His Cards

Hsing Guizhen looked at Qin Guangjun with a puzzled expression. "Hey, is something going on? What's up with you today?"

Qin Guangjun gave a wry smile. He wasn't sure what was happening with him either, but thankfully, he realized it in time before anything irreversible happened. He was relieved, so relieved.

Qin Guangjun, who had been sleeping soundly, had no idea that in just one night, his precious daughter would deliver a blow he never saw coming.

...

"Hey, sweetheart, what's up? Why did you need to talk to your dad without your mom around? Got some secret you want to share? Go ahead, I promise I'll keep it between us!"

Qin Guangjun was feeling pretty good about himself. His daughter, who had been distant lately, finally came to him. It was a good sign, maybe even a chance to strengthen their bond, so his wife would stop nagging him about how daughters are always closer to their moms.

See, when his daughter had something on her mind, she came to him first. It was his turn to feel a little proud.

But he never saw it coming.

Qin Su came to his office, not to have a heart-to-heart. When she handed him a stack of envelopes with a blank expression, Qin Guangjun was momentarily confused. What was so mysterious about these?

When he opened it, his face changed instantly. Qin Guangjun's hands shook as he gripped a stack of photos, the images utterly shocking. A woman in scanty lace lingerie was sitting on his lap, her arms wrapped around his neck, while his hands were intimately around her waist. The woman was none other than his recent fling, Lili!

Qin Guangjun felt like his brain was struck by lightning, flipping through dozens more photos uncontrollably. Not only was he in them, but there were also seven or eight other men. He felt a surge of anger and frustration, unable to vent it. It wasn't Lili's betrayal that infuriated him; it was Qin Su. How could someone so young pull this off? Following him? Taking secret photos? The audacity... she...

Qin Guangjun was at a loss for words. He gritted his teeth and forced out, "How long have you known?"

"A long time."

Well, isn't that just great, he thought with a bitter smile. His daughter was something else.

"So, what do you plan to do?" he asked, deciding to face the music. Qin Guangjun plopped down in the office chair, refusing to believe she could really do anything to him. After all, he was her father. What could she possibly do?

Qin Su sneered.

"I'm not planning anything drastic, just giving you a heads-up. If you don't want every relative in the family to have a copy of these, you'd better know what to do!"

Oh, really?

Qin Guangjun chuckled. Threaten him? After all his years in the real world, this was the first time he'd been so openly threatened—and by his own daughter, no less, the one he'd cherished and raised!

"And then what?"

"I've cut ties where needed. I won't tell Mom, but you should think it through. If you're considering not keeping the family together and divorcing Mom, then these will be evidence of your infidelity. Imagine the impact of a scandal like that on your current status. Want me to break it down for you?"

Qin Guangjun gritted his teeth, tempted to pry open this little rascal's head to see what kind of nonsense was inside.

"Alright, since you're laying it all out, you must have an ace up your sleeve. So, tell me, what do you want? Or rather, what should I do to make you destroy those things?"
