Chapter 217: Disparity In Status

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At noon, in the garden of the villa.

Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu were building a wooden castle in the sandbox.

Qiu Tong sat on the bench and watched them quietly. From time to time, she would glance down at her phone.

She pressed the bright screen and opened her chat with Jin Yang. Her fingertips touched the screen and she typed a line of text. She didn’t press the send button for a long time. When the screen turned dark, Qiu Tong saw her own face reflected on the dark screen. She lowered her eyes.

Song Yan came from the villa next door. He crossed his arms lazily and leaned against the tree, watching her movements.

“With Jin Yang’s status, he cannot be with a civilian.”

“As the president, he has no say in choosing his wife and future partner.”

“I advise you to clear your mind of such thoughts as soon as possible. I can totally take care of the children and you. I can give you the same life, and perhaps even more warmth…”

Song Yan’s teasing words allowed Qiu Tong to regain her senses. She kept her phone and returned to her room.

Outside the house, Song Yan squatted beside Little Yu in an attempt to form a good relationship with the children. However, Qiu Xingyuan held his sister’s hand and left with her, as if he was avoiding a bad person.

Song Yan touched the tip of his nose and smiled. He self-deprecatingly finished building the half-completed sandcastle that Qiu Xingyuan and Little Yu had abandoned.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Shan was standing in front of Shu Xian’s house. She had pressed the doorbell countless times, but no one answered.

It was only when the surrounding neighbors complained about the disturbance that Shu Xian’s nanny pushed open the door. She looked at Lin Shan with a troubled expression and said, “Miss Lin, Mr. Shu is not at home.”

“He’s out on a business trip because of the factory. If you want to see him, come back in a few days!”

Lin Shan refused to believe it and wanted to charge in, but the burly nanny blocked the entrance.

“Let me in, Shu Xian must be inside! Why is he hiding from me? Qiu Tong was behind the factory incident. She colluded with Mayor Shen to snatch all the credit for exterminating locusts. It has nothing to do with me!”

Lin Shan had not seen Shu Xian for several days. Many of her bank cards and credit cards had been blocked.

This meant that Shu Xian was angry with her and wanted to abandon her.

Lin Shan tugged at the nanny as if she was clutching at a life-saving straw. She clasped her hands together and pointed inside. “Let me in. I can explain everything to Shu Xian! When we reconcile, I will think of a way to repay you…”

The nanny’s expression changed several times. She looked back at the spiral staircase in the villa and shook her head.

“Miss Lin, if you want to look for Mr. Shu, you should call him. He will see that you called.”

The nanny pushed Lin Shan hard and closed the door with a bang.

Lin Shan fell down outside the door. Her clothes were tattered and her eyes were filled with hatred as she muttered, “Qiu Tong, it’s all because of you!”

“You’re the one who turned me into this. Even if I die, I’ll drag you along!”

Lin Shan gritted her teeth and looked up at the window on the second floor of the villa. She took out her phone and dialed a voice message. “Shu Xian, I know you’re unwilling to accept this outcome. We still have a chance of connecting to the government. That piece of land has not been distributed yet!”

“I know that Qiu Tong has a protective medicine in her hands. As long as you can get it and place it on the factory’s assembly line…”

“Not only can we earn money, we will also be rewarded by the government.”

“Contact me if you’re interested.”

With her bag slung over her shoulder, Lin Shan left the villa district with determined steps. She was certain that Shu Xian would definitely contact her.

After all, a businessman’s nature was to seek profits!

Late at night, a private plane landed. Shao An personally drove over to welcome Jin Yang.

Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw Jin Yang walking down the staircase.

Jin Yang frowned in disdain at his dramatic behavior and kept a distance from him. “How’s the situation in the official residence?”

Shao An straightened his back and saluted. He held the steering wheel and reported to him.

Jin Yang sat in the back seat and looked at his phone. He had not received any messages. He felt an indescribable sense of loss. He hesitantly typed a few lines, deleted and then wrote without sending. Shao An looked at his actions through the rearview mirror and reminded him, “Old Mr. Jin has been sending people to the official residence very frequently in recent times. I used the excuse that it’s an inconvenient time for you to reject their requests to meet you.”

“Well done.”

Jin Yang nodded. Shao An asked hesitantly, “Do you want to return to your old home?”

Jin Yang narrowed his eyes and leaned back in the backseat tiredly. He shook his head and refused, “No, let’s return to the official residence.”

There were too many things in the capital that he needed to settle and resolve. Meanwhile, that text message was ultimately stored in his draft box and not sent out.

Under the full moon, Qiu Tong and Jin Yang missed each other, but no one dared to take that first step.

Jin Yang returned to the official residence and the butler came out to welcome him. He took Jin Yang’s jacket and watched him walk to the second floor.

As Jin Yang’s hand gripped the stair’s handrail, he stopped in his tracks as if he had remembered something.

He turned to the butler and asked, “Do you… remember a woman who often wears a white dress?”

The butler was stunned and did not answer.

Jin Yang frowned and waved his hand. “Forget it. Pretend I didn’t ask..”
