Chapter 538 - 539: Threat from Qin Mobai
Qin Mobai remembered that Cen Jingyi and Jin Xunyang used to be high school classmates and seemed to have a good relationship.
So Jin Xunyang could freely enter and exit Cen Jingyi’s Qingzhu, just coincidentally, Qin Mobai and Lou Xi were also here today.
The saying "enemies meet on a narrow road" perfectly describes this situation.
Qin Mobai had already blamed Lu Li for this matter, after all, he was the one who arranged the meeting at Qingzhu.
When Jin Xunyang saw Qin Mobai and Lou Xi at Qingzhu, he whispered a few words to the person beside him before approaching Lou Xi and Qin Mobai.
Lou Xi felt a bit uneasy watching Jin Xunyang because just yesterday she appeared on the Weibo trending list with him.
All because of a necklace he gave her.
Luckily, Qin Mobai trusted her, otherwise, this would have been an irreconcilable conflict.
Jin Xunyang walked to their table and glanced at the tableware, seeing four sets.
"Waiting for someone?" Jin Xunyang pretended to be friendly, as if he didn’t know about yesterday’s trending topic with Lou Xi.
"Not waiting for you," Qin Mobai replied coolly, "Since when did Qingzhu start hosting two groups in one day?"
"Something unexpected came up today to discuss here, sorry for disturbing you two," he apologized.
"If you’re sorry, then leave quickly," Qin Mobai remained indifferent.
Lou Xi: "..." Qin Mobai really treated everyone with cold indifference.
The atmosphere was awkwardly tense, and Qingzhu’s manager noticed and approached sweating.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Jin, I apologize, today the scheduling wasn’t arranged properly..." he said while apologizing.
Qin Mobai waved his hand, indicating to stop talking.
"Stay here for a while, I’ll have a word with him." Qin Mobai stood up, pressed Lou Xi’s shoulder to signal her to stay seated.
Lou Xi looked up nervously at Qin Mobai.
This man wouldn’t go fight with Jin Xunyang, would he!
"Don’t worry, madam, I’ll use words instead of fists," Qin Mobai seemed to read her mind and reassured her directly.
Lou Xi nodded but still watched Qin Mobai’s leaving figure with some concern.
First floor, courtyard garden.
Qin Mobai looked coldly at Jin Xunyang.
"Looking at me like this won’t help, I was a victim in yesterday’s incident too," Jin Xunyang shrugged, "I explained to Jinse for a long time."
Qin Mobai knew about Jin Xunyang apologizing to Lou Xi, so it turned out to be a misunderstanding regarding Lou Xi and Mu Jinsu.
Jin Xunyang’s attempt to make peace made Qin Mobai extremely uncomfortable.
"Rest assured, I’ll find out who spread the news and give you and your wife an explanation," Jin Xunyang still didn’t want to be enemies with Qin Mobai.
After a moment of silence, Qin Mobai said, "The best thing you can do now is to stay away from Lou Xi."
Otherwise, the act of affection the two displayed yesterday, though genuine, was not something he would tolerate showing Lou Xi in a negative light to the public.
Therefore, the best solution was for Jin Xunyang to keep his distance from Lou Xi.
"Of course, I’m a married man," he replied.
"You better know it well," Qin Mobai said flatly, "If the photo incident from yesterday is found to involve you in any way, there might no longer be a Jin Family in Nancheng thereafter."
The threat from Qin Mobai was steady and powerful.
Even someone as battle-hardened as Jin Xunyang was wounded by Qin Mobai’s chill.
