398: Qin Muran's frustration

Qin Muran's frustration

As Qin Yan and Xi Ting left, Qin Muran who was standing at some distance, was green with jealousy.

Before today, she had seen a man with Qin Yan a couple of times but she had not seen his face and didn't know how he looked like.

When she came to know about him and Qin Yan, she was recovering in the hospital. Lu Yaran had blabbed in front of her about Qin Yan thinking high of herself because of the support of this man. Qin Muran was curious but she couldn't do anything till she was discharged.

After the discharge, Qin Muran asked Qin Yicheng about him. However, Qin Yicheng told her that the man was very powerful and it was best to not anger him.

The Qin Corporation going downhill because of the man was etched in the mind of Qin Yicheng. So he refrained from commenting on Qin Yan's man.

Since the man was able to manipulate the Qin Corporation's shares, Qin Muran knew that he was not an ordinary person.

At that time, Qin Muran was not calm at all. So, she asked someone to do some digging on the man, but she couldn't find anything.

There was no information about this man. She couldn't uncover anything about him at all. This meant that there were passwords protecting his information.

How eminent must he be for his information to be so highly protected?

What sort of big shot did Qin Yan manage to get?

As soon as Qin Muran thought of how the person might be more powerful than Xi Yaohua, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

It was not easy for her to seduce a man as excellent as Xi Yaohua, and Qin Yan even idolized her for being successful in her career and love. However, this mysterious man who suddenly appeared made her feel threatened.

However, no matter how hard Qin Muran tried, she could not even get a glance of the man's face, much less get any information about him until today.

Today, when she saw the man appearing beside Qin Yan, Qin Muran felt her breathing stop. Her heart also skipped a beat.

She could only see his side-view, but his facial features were very striking. Every single line on his face seemed to be carved out. His nose was very tall and straight and his lips were thin and sexy. Overall, he looked more handsome than she had imagined.

Not only was he not old, but he was also very young and looked to be only around 25.

Born in an elite family, Qin Muran had a great share of handsome men. Furthermore, Xi Yaohua was also one of the most handsome ones. She honestly thought that she had a certain immunity to good-looking men.

However, this man suddenly made her heart race. Xi Yaohua's handsomeness was not even worth mentioning in front of him.

This man was smotheringly handsome. She was afraid that any woman that saw him would not be able to resist his charm.

Initially, she thought that no matter how rich Qin Yan's man was, he was probably old and ugly and could not compare to Xi Yaohua.

But…

Looking at the handsome and rich man with Qin Yan, Qin Muran was green with envy.

She wanted to see what a joke Qin Yan was after she had been rejected by Xi Yaohua.

However, who would have thought that b*tch found someone even more handsome and wealthy!

Jealously distorted Qin Muran's facial expression.

When the man protected Qin Yan from Xi Yaohua, his neutral expression was even more beautiful and cool and it had a strong visual impact on Qin Muran.

She had always felt that Xi Yaohua was outstanding enough. She had always felt proud of being able to seduce such an excellent man like Xi Yaohua.

Xi Yaohua was young, handsome, and famous. He was also gentle and caring. He was truly a man that was hard to come by.

After knowing that Xi Yaohua and her were dating, her female friends were all jealous of her. They all said that she was blessed, and after she married into the Xi Yaohua's family, she would be able to lead a lavish lifestyle.

As a result, she always had a strong sense of superiority.

Originally, she thought that she was a winner in life, but at this time, she only felt jealousy. She was so crazily jealous that she became resentful and clenched her fists tightly seeing the man with Qin Yan.

Also, the more outstanding Qin Yan's man was, the more Qin Muran felt that Xi Yaohua was disappointing.

She couldn't help but feel a surge of disdain for Xi Yaohua as he continued to pester Qin Yan, causing a violent confrontation with her current boyfriend. The sight of Xi Yaohua lying motionless on the ground, battered and defeated, only intensified Qin Muran's feelings of frustration and disappointment.

However, as she glanced around at the shocked onlookers, Qin Muran's mind raced through a series of conflicting thoughts. She knew that Xi Yaohua hailed from a prestigious family, and their engagement had secured her a position in that elite social circle. Losing that status was something she was reluctant to face, despite the flaws she now saw in Xi Yaohua's character.

Suppressing her disdain, Qin Muran summoned the strength to step forward, slowly making her way toward the fallen figure of Xi Yaohua.

"Brother Hua, is that you?" Qin Muran acted surprised while seeing Xi Yaohua.

Xi Yaohua looked at Qin Muran with a mix of shock and uncertainty.

"Muran, why are you here?" Xi Yaohua wondered if she had witnessed the entire incident, if she had seen him at his worst.

Qin Muran, however, skillfully concealed any signs of recognition or knowledge. She wore a mask of innocence, as if she hadn't seen anything at all.

"I was passing by when I felt that I saw you so I came here. Brother Hua, what happened to you? Who did this to you?" Qin Muran extended her hand to help him up.

Xi Yaohua took Qin Muran's hand and got up with difficulty. Once he was on his feet, Xi Yaohua hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much she knew. He looked at Qin Muran's expressions deeply trying to find out if she was telling the truth.

However, since Qin Muran had concealed her emotions well, Xi Yaohua was assured that she had not seen anything.

He then looked around and saw that many people were looking at them. His eyes darkened. He called his driver and asked him to bring his car right away.

"Muran, let's talk somewhere else," He said.

Qin Muran also realised that they were becoming a form of entertainment for people so she nodded, "Brother Hua, let's go to your house. You are injured so badly. I'll take care of you."

Xi Yaohua thought for a while before replying affirmatively, "Okay."

Till this time, Xi Yaohua's driver had also brought the car over. He was shocked seeing Xi Yaohua's condition. He got out of the car immediately and helped Xi Yaohua walk towards the car.

Qin Muran supported her boyfriend from the other side and helped him get in the car.

After settling down, the driver asked, "Sir, shall we go to the hospital?"

Xi Yaohua shook his head, "No, let's go home."

The driver was stunned for a moment but then he understood. If the news of the CEO of Global World Entertainment getting beaten up leaked, Xi Yaohua's reputation would suffer a big blow.

So, the driver nodded and drove the car to Xi Yaohua's house.

Xi Yaohua's house was situated in an upscale residential area, within a private estate. A well-manicured garden with lush plants and a driveway leaded up to the entrance which was grand and impressive.

As they reached the house, Qin Muran helped Xi Yaohua in. They entered the a spacious living room with high ceiling and elegant furniture.

As Xi Yaohua settled down on the couch, he winced in pain and touched the bruises on his face.

As the servants saw Xi Yaohua's state, they were shocked. However, they did not dare to ask anything and retreated silently.

"Are you okay, Brother Hua?" Qin Muran asked worriedly, "You didn't tell me. Who did this to you?"

Xi Yaohua sighed, "It was Qin Yan's boyfriend."

"What? Who did you say?" Qin Muran appeared to be shocked.

"Qin Yan's boyfriend," Xi Yaohua repeated.

Qin Muran, trying to maintain her composed demeanor, looked at Xi Yaohua with feigned concern, "Why? Why did sister's boyfriend attack you?"2

Xi Yaohua lied without batting an eyelid, "I'm not entirely sure, Muran. Qin Yan must have said something to her boyfriend, and he came looking for me. I didn't expect things to escalate this way."

Qin Muran's eyebrows furrowed slightly. While carefully tending to Xi Yaohua's wounds and cleaning the cuts and bruises on his face with a mixture of tenderness and forced affection, she asked, "What could sister have possibly said to her boyfriend to provoke such a reaction?"
