MINE ALONE - Season 9 Episode 87

Qin Chen placed the business card on the table and fled the private room without looking back. He caught up to Yin Jingting. “Jingting, aren’t you going too far by caring about Mrs. Gu in front of Gu Zheng?”

Yin Jingting glanced at him as if he was looking at a fool and got into the elevator.

Qin Chen had a serious expression. “Although we’re good friends, I have to remind you that Miss Qiao is already married. It’s not good for you to continue pestering her, right?! I admit that she’s indeed very beautiful. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, but…”

The two of them got off the elevator. Qin Chen was still nagging behind him, “You haven’t had a woman by your side all these years. I thought you had some hidden illness. It wasn’t easy for you to fall for someone, but you actually fell for Gu Zheng’s wife. You’re really good at choosing. You chose the most difficult woman in one go. Think about it carefully. Can you win against Gu Zheng?”

Yin Jingting looked up. “Qin Chen.”

Qin Chen met his deep eyes, and his heart trembled. “I’m saying all this for your own good. Don’t be angry!”

“I’m not angry. I just think that there’s something wrong with your brain. Find some time to get yourself checked.” With that, Yin Jingting got into the car and quickly drove away, leaving Qin Chen alone.

Who was the one who was crazy? Did it make sense for him to like a married woman, then? He even gave the Yin family’s heirloom bracelet to that woman. Speaking of which, was Yin Jingting the only one who had that bracelet?

He vaguely remembered that the Yin family had another jade bracelet that was in Old Madam Yin’s hands. He heard that it was for Xia Yunqiu. Unfortunately, Miss Xia died at a young age. Later on, Old Madam Yin said that she would leave it to Xia Yunqiu’s daughter, who was also Old Madam Yin’s granddaughter. He heard that the Yin family had already found this granddaughter who had been missing for many years.

If Qiao Xi’s bracelet was not given to her by Yin Jingting, then there was only one possibility. It was given to her by Old Madam Yin. Did that mean Qiao Xi was his younger sister?

The corners of Qin Chen’s mouth twitched slightly. No wonder Jingting said that Yu Manting could not enter the Yin family after offending Qiao Xi!

…

At the Xia family’s old residence.

Yu Manting was sobbing uncontrollably. Madam Yu said unhappily, “Old Master, it’s not that our Yu family is being unreasonable, but Jingting is too much of a bully. Our two families have already set the marriage contract. Manting will marry him sooner or later. How could he give the family bracelet to another woman?”

Xia Cheng frowned when he heard about the family bracelet.

Madam Yu was indignant. “Manting said that Jingting is especially good to that woman. He suspended an important meeting in the company for that woman and went all the way over there as he was afraid that she would suffer! Our Manting just wanted to defend her marriage, so she criticized that woman. Unexpectedly, Jingting actually spoke up for that woman and even asked Manting to apologize to her. Didn’t he embarrass Manting in public?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Mengyan helped Old Madam Xia over. When she heard their conversation, she was surprised. “Manting, you said that Brother Jingting has a woman outside?”

“Yes! I saw it with my own eyes. That woman’s surname is Qiao, and she’s involved with President Gu. Just because she has a good-looking face, she’s seducing men everywhere. She’s a vixen!” Yu Manting said through gritted teeth.

Surnamed Qiao?

A person could not help but appear in Xia Mengyan’s mind. Xia Cheng, who was at the side, seemed to have reacted as well. He was about to explain when he heard Xia Mengyan lean forward to comfort her. “Manting, Brother Jingting isn’t that kind of person. He might have gone there to look for you. How do you know that he went over for Miss Qiao?”

Yu Manting instantly beamed. “You’re right. Maybe Brother Jingting knows that I often go there, so he went to look for me. It’s just that he saw me arguing with that woman, so he reprimanded me.”

Xia Mengyan smiled gently. “Yes! That sounds more like Brother Jingting. He must know that Miss Qiao has President Gu backing her, so he couldn’t be biased toward you. He could only pretend to scold you in front of everyone. If he didn’t do that, Miss Qiao would’ve gotten President Gu to deal with you. You’d be the one suffering then.

“Brother Jingting reprimanded you, so even if Miss Qiao and President Gu wanted to punish you, they had no reason to! So I think you must have misunderstood him. He still has feelings for you.”

After Xia Mengyan finished speaking, she heard Yu Manting’s excited voice. “That’s right. Brother Jingting reprimanded me and even asked me to apologize, so President Gu couldn’t say anything after that. Meanwhile, the manager’s leg was broken. It seems that Brother Jingting really did it to protect me!”
