Chapter 888 - 869: An Illegitimate Relationship
Qin Mobai stood in front of the inn’s terrace, a cool breeze gently blowing. His brows furrowed slightly in response to Ji Nanming’s words, and his expression seemed to worsen.
Lin Qianqian and Lou Xi are related by blood?
Originally, Qin Mobai found it hard to believe there could be two identical people in this world. Now, hearing what Ji Nanming said, he felt everything had its reason.
However, the issue Ji Nanming worried about was probably also on Qin Mobai’s mind now.
Lin Qianqian pretending to be Lou Xi almost led to a major mistake. Fortunately, Qin Mobai discovered in time and prevented a tragedy.
If Lou Xi were to know that Lin Qianqian was her blood-related sister, how would she feel?
Qin Mobai didn’t care about anything else, just Lou Xi.
Lou Xi’s feelings were the most important thing to Qin Mobai.
"So, you’re asking me to let Lin Qianqian go?" Qin Mobai asked calmly, "Ji Nanming, I don’t care about Lin Qianqian, only Lou Xi. Regardless of whether she and Lou Xi are related by blood, if she did something that hurt Lou Xi, she must be punished."
"I’m not asking you to let Lin Qianqian go. I just want you to know that if Lin Qianqian’s identity is revealed, many people will be implicated. Do you want Lou Xi to know she has a sister who hurt her everywhere?"
Qin Mobai’s brow tightened. He had been with Lou Xi for a long time and knew her heart was soft and she wouldn’t blame Lin Qianqian again.
But Lin Qianqian and Lou Xi had different living environments. Lin Qianqian was purposeful and scheming; Lou Xi couldn’t handle someone like that.
Thus, Qin Mobai didn’t want Lou Xi to know about these matters.
"Who else knows about this?" Qin Mobai asked.
"You, me."
"Since only you and I know about this, if I don’t say anything and you don’t either, no one will know. Lin Qianqian is in prison, temporarily avoiding any accidents."
"Qin Mobai, you have to know, even if Lin Qianqian made mistakes, she is still Elina’s daughter, and a young lady of the Shen Family cannot have a criminal record." Ji Nanming already felt sorry for Lin Qianqian and didn’t want her to remain in prison.
"You need to think of the bigger picture. I only care about Lou Xi." Qin Mobai and Ji Nanming’s conversation seemed to have reached its end here.
Unable to reach consensus, both Qin Mobai and Ji Nanming hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Nanming’s mood seemed extremely bad. The cigarette by his hand burned to the end, and he extinguished it before lighting a new one.
Ed walked over and asked, "What happened, didn’t you reach an agreement?"
"I’ve never met someone as unreasonable as Qin Mobai, as if he’s the only one who cares about Lou Xi in the entire world!" Ji Nanming couldn’t help but complain, entirely out of sorts.
It was Ed’s first time seeing Ji Nanming lose his temper like this. Was it due to Qin Mobai’s unreasonable attitude, or because the matter concerned Lou Xi, causing Ji Nanming’s loss of control?
Being an outsider, Ed often saw things more clearly than those involved, hence he could see plainly that Ji Nanming’s loss of control was mostly due to Lou Xi.
If Lou Xi were alone, Ji Nanming’s loss of control would be understandable, since emotions can’t be controlled.
However, now that Lou Xi is with Qin Mobai, anything between Ji Nanming and Lou Xi lacks legitimacy.
"Young Master Ji, I’ve been with you all these years and know you’re usually calm, but regarding the young miss... Young Master Ji, you should seriously consider."
Ji Nanming looked at Ed, understanding the hidden meaning in his words.
