C145 Do You Think I will Marry You??

Qin Fei was stunned, his face etched with shock as he stared at Lin Yin and Zhang Qimo. He felt a desperate urge to disappear into the earth.

For the life of him, he couldn't understand why Qin Yu had exploded with such fury, as if he had slapped himself instead.

"Qin Fei, are you incapable of speech? I told you to apologize to Director Lin and Chief Zhang!" Qin Yu's slap rang out, leaving Qin Fei moaning in pain.

"I..." Qin Fei's face was a picture of bitterness as he faced Lin Yin and Zhang Qimo. "Why?! I can't accept this!"

"Still can't accept it? You're really asking for it!" Qin Yu's anger flared, and he unleashed a barrage of kicks that left Qin Fei's face imprinted with the pattern of his shoes, as he frantically tried to dodge.

"If Director Lin and Chief Zhang aren't satisfied today, you'll be kneeling at the entrance of the mall for life!" Qin Yu declared harshly.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, Qin Fei's phone began to ring. It was his elder uncle, Qin Fugui!

Even his father behaved like a dog in front of elder uncle Qin Fugui. Qin Fei, not daring to be reckless, answered the call with trepidation.

"Qin Fei, if you don't kneel and apologize to Director Lin and Chief Zhang today, you might as well be dead. I'll deal with you myself, and not even your father can save you!" Qin Fugui barked into the phone before abruptly hanging up.

Qin Fei felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His face turned ghostly pale as he looked at Lin Yin, his mouth twitching, unable to utter a word.

"Director Zhang, Director Lin, I'm so sorry! I should never have insulted you. I'm the dog here, yes, I'm the dog," Qin Fei blurted out, knocking his head against the floor in apology, abandoning all semblance of dignity.

He was terrified of dying, especially with Qin Fugui's murderous tone hanging over him.

How on earth did Lin Yin, this nobody, manage to connect with elder uncle Qin Fugui? Cursed luck! Had he known, he never would have crossed him. All this trouble, he thought bitterly, was Lu Wei's fault.

"Lin Yin, this person is a friend of yours too, isn't he?" Zhang Qimo whispered to Lin Yin, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Qin Fei had it coming for saying that dogs and she couldn't shop. That was just outrageous!

It made sense, though. If Shen San was good friends with Lin Yin, then Qin Yu would naturally hold Lin Yin in high regard. It explained why Qin Yu had furiously slapped Wu Chuyu at the entrance of Snow Dragon Villa last time.

Lin Yin simply nodded with a smile, offering no further comment.

"What in the world is happening here?" Lu Wei was stunned, eyeing Lin Yin with disbelief.

How could this nobody command such respect? He actually knew Qin Fei's elder cousin? And Qin Yu was even backing him up in public?

It couldn't be. Lin Yin couldn't possibly have that kind of influence. It had to be a misunderstanding between Qin Fei and his cousin that Lin Yin had just stumbled upon. Yet, here was Lin Yin, acting as if he actually mattered.

"Lin Yin, you truly have no shame. It's just a minor family squabble and misunderstanding between the Qin's. And you, a nobody, dare to claim connections and call yourself a friend? Do you think you're fit to be friends with the Qin Family?" Lu Wei scoffed disdainfully, unable to stand Lin Yin's shameless name-dropping.

"Brother Yu, there might be some misunderstanding between you and Qin Fei. Please don't take it to heart. I apologize on his behalf. Let's resolve any issues at home," Lu Wei said, her face oozing sycophancy as she implored Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief at her cluelessness. Anger washed over his face as he turned to Qin Fei and demanded, "Who is this busybody? Is she another one of your mistresses, a 'Little Four' you've picked up?"

"I... I don't know her! I have no idea where this lowlife came from!" Qin Fei hastily distanced himself, terrified of further offending Lin Yin and Qin Yu because of this woman.

"What? You're saying you don't know me? That I'm a 'Little Four'?" Lu Wei couldn't believe her ears. "Qin Fei, that's not what you said last night. You promised to marry me into the Qin Family's lap of luxury!"

"Do you actually think I would marry you? Take a good look at yourself!" Qin Fei retorted, his tone shifting to one of scorn, "I'm a married man, so have some self-respect!"

"You! If you have a wife, then why did you come on to me?" Lu Wei protested indignantly, "And even if you're married, can't you divorce her?"

Hearing this, Qin Fei's anger flared even more. He lashed out, "You're utterly shameless! I seduced you? Wasn't it you who were flirting with me in my car that day? You're only after my money, and now you're pretending it's some youthful romance? You expect me to divorce my wife for you? You're despicable—get out!"

"You! You!" Lu Wei's face turned beet red, not from embarrassment but from frustration. She had been so close to securing a marriage into the wealthy Qin Family, but Lin Yin and Zhang Qimo had ruined it for her!

If it hadn't been for them, Qin Fei wouldn't have been beaten by Qin Yu. And if Qin Fei hadn't been beaten by Qin Yu, why would he be berating her like this?

"Director Zhang, anytime you want to buy jewelry in the future, feel free to come here and choose anything you like!" Qin Yu said, oozing obsequiousness.

After speaking, Qin Yu turned and berated the saleswoman, "Are you blind? Go fetch Director Zhang the most exquisite necklace immediately!"

"Right away, right away!" The saleswoman, terrified by the confrontation, hurried off to retrieve the priciest necklace.

Lu Wei watched Zhang Qimo with envy. Why should she get to wear the most expensive necklace? She must have charmed Qin Yu, the nerve of her. Otherwise, why would Qin Yu be helping her? Lin Yin is being cuckolded and still calls himself a friend? What a shameless couple!

"Ha, you two are truly without shame," Lu Wei sneered jealously, "Lin Yin, it seems you're quite pleased with yourself despite wearing a cuckold's cap. How disgraceful!"

Qin Yu's eyes nearly bulged out of his head at her words. How could she spout such nonsense? Was she trying to get him killed?

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

Without a second thought, Qin Yu charged forward and delivered several stinging slaps to Lu Wei, leaving her clutching her reddened cheek.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Brother Yu, please don't hit me, I was wrong," Lu Wei hastily apologized, not even questioning why she should apologize. In her eyes, Qin Yu, with his wealth and power, had every right to strike her.

"You really are despicable!" Qin Yu spat out the insult before turning to Lin Yin with a flirtatious grin.

"You wretched woman, remove that necklace from your neck this instant. You're not worthy of wearing it! I paid good money for that, and now I want you to get out of here immediately!" Qin Fei barked, growing increasingly irritated with her presence.

Reluctantly, Lu Wei gazed at the platinum necklace around her neck, hesitating for a moment before finally removing it. Under Qin Yu's menacing stare, she fled the mall, terrified.

"Director Lin, Director Zhang, would you still like to browse the jewelry? Allow me to personally guide you," Qin Yu offered cautiously.

"No need, it's ruined my mood," Lin Yin responded coolly, turning to Zhang Qimo. "Qimo, let's go get something to eat. I've already picked out a gift for you."
