Rags To Riches Chapter 241-242

 Chapter 241

Qin Ming did not expect Sun Changxi to look at it seriously, and even watched the entire contents, together with those hotel room videos.


                When Qin Ming saw that she actually had no expression on her face, he couldn't help but admire in his heart that this female police officer was really too strong mentally.


                Finally, Sun Changxi said with a stern face, "This scum of the earth, taking bribes, coercing models to have sex, and getting someone to take the blame for a drink-driving accident, that's a lot of shady stuff. No wonder he wimped out as soon as you brought it out, I will definitely bring him to justice."


                Qin Ming said, "You take the evidence, the phone can be returned to me now, right? Really, it's lucky I didn't promise to let him go just now, otherwise I wouldn't have broken my word."


                Sun Changxi laughed and said, "Very good, Qin Ming, you are really good, every time I solve a case you are there, you can get such things. I'll treat you to dinner next time."


                Qin Ming hurriedly said, "Hey hey, at least wait until after tonight to catch someone."


                Sun Changxi said, "I have my own score, you're trying to help Miss Mu, right? Oh, you look quite ordinary, but your eyes are not low, a thousand-year-old lady from a rich family like that is not easy to chase."


                "You misunderstand me, I'm not courting her." Qin Ming bristled and silently spat in his heart, "Let alone chase, she's our daughter-in-law."


                Qin Ming handed over the evidence of Zhu Shengwen's crime and wanted to leave.


                But Mu Xiaoqiao approached him and refused to let him go, saying, "You stay for a while."


                Qin Ming said, "Why should I? You don't treat me like a human being. Am I not the one causing trouble? Shouldn't I hurry up and get out?"


                Mu Xiaoqiao frowned and said, "Qin Ming, can you be more mature? You think I want you to stay? It's because I'm afraid that Zhu Shengwen will go back on his word, and you'll have some kind of shocking effect by staying. Otherwise, what's the point of you coming here just now?"


                He was scolded for being immature, and Qin Ming wondered, "Is he immature? You guys mock us every day, look down on people, and don't give an apology, and that makes you mature?


                Qin Ming didn't even give her a damn and said, "Not interested, this is your business, not mine. As I said, I'm not here for you, don't make a fool of yourself."


                Mu Xiaoqiao gave a start and said in annoyance, "Here's 10,000 for you, wait until the show is over before you leave."


                Qin Ming walked on without looking back, and Mu Xiaoqiao bit her lip and said, "Why are you so greedy? Fifty thousand, that's enough, right?"


                Qin Ming still walked on without looking back, and Mu Xiaoqiao said loudly, "One hundred thousand, your family doesn't earn that much in a year, so you're still not satisfied with one hundred thousand? Isn't that what you joined the family for, money?"


                Qin Ming had already reached the door, Mu Xiaoqiao was anxious, she almost said with a pleading voice: "I beg you, I am afraid that something will happen halfway. If you have the ability to hold Zhu Shengwen down, then stay a little longer, and after it's over, I'll send you back. In exchange, you can make some conditions, is that okay?"


                Qin Ming he stopped in his tracks, it was a bit like begging, who made him a kind person.


                He didn't have much dislike for Mu Xiaoqiao, both of them had gotten married because of superstition, Qin Ming could see that she was willing to get married for the sake of her grandfather Mu Hai Ran, although it was an act of superstition, it was also an act of filial piety, Qin Ming still had some appreciation for her.


                Qin Ming said smugly, "Well, since you are sincerely begging me, I'll reluctantly agree to you."


                Mu Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes in annoyance and hummed in a low voice, "A villain gets his way."


                Qin Ming was annoyed, doing you a favour and still being so arrogant?


                He said, "Didn't you say I could make conditions?"


                Mu Xiaoqiao's heart panicked and she said, "Anything that damages my character and dignity, you can forget about it."


                Qin Ming said disdainfully, "What do you take me for? An evil party? I am a decent, good citizen. Then I'll make a condition, listen carefully, ahem ......"


                Seeing Qin Ming's serious look, Mu Xiaoqiao was suddenly a little scared, afraid that she wouldn't be able to refuse Qin Ming's request.


                With her status and background, she didn't know why ah? Wasn't she just a gold-digging man who had joined the family? Why did what Qin Ming had done recently make her feel scared?


                Qin Ming said, "We are now husband and wife, although we don't have much affection, but I also want to get together for good. You still have to respect me in front of people, got it? Don't be so stubborn all day long, don't think you are so rare, I don't care about you. You were drugged by Zhu Shengwen before, and I took you to the hospital, did I take advantage of you? I was about to lay hands on you and send you to the hotel long ago."


                Mu Xiaoqiao was silent, Qin Ming's words were reasonable, but she didn't have much good feeling towards Qin Ming because she had a bad impression from her preconceptions.


                It was just that Qin Ming had helped her twice recently and acted openly and honestly, which did make her bottomless whenever she faced Qin Ming, as he was hitting her in the face with practical actions little by little and changing her wrong impressions.


                Qin Ming said again, "I will wait until the show is over before I leave, I don't need you to see me off, I will go back by myself."


                Mu Xiaoqiao bit her lip, she covered her chest as she walked, there was an indescribable feeling of depression, she turned back to look at Qin Ming halfway through her walk, this man, who was only three years younger than her, seemed really not simple, but what made him tick?


                She couldn't figure it out.


                The fashion show went well, Mu Xiaoqiao's company's new products made a big splash, and after the show, Zhu Shengwen was arrested by the police on his way to flee abroad and was facing a jail sentence, all of which Qin Ming didn't care much about.


                He saw that he had fulfilled his promise and it was time to go.


                Qin Ming did not ask Song Ying to take him back and walked alone along the wooded path outside the Century Building, where he remembered rescuing Nie Haitang the night before she left and carrying her back to rest.


                Qin Ming couldn't resist calling Nie Haitang's phone again, but again he couldn't get through. He was distracted, what had happened to Nie Haitang in Europe?


                He was chagrined when suddenly the phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number.


                Qin Ming picked up and immediately heard Nie Haitang's voice: "Hello? Qin Ming?"


                He felt that he had not heard Nie Haitang's voice for centuries, and her clear and pleasant voice was so beautiful, like a heavenly music.


                "Are you there, Qin Ming?" Nie Haitang asked again, saying, "Answer quickly, it would be bad if my mother found out."


                Qin Ming was shocked, why was Nie Haitang calling him and afraid of being caught by her mother? He hurriedly responded, "Yes, it's me, are you okay, Haitang?"


                Nie Haitang also froze for a moment when she heard Qin Ming's voice before she said, "I'm fine, woo ...... Qin Ming ...... woo."


                Qin Ming wondered why she was suddenly crying, and was busy saying, "Haitang, what's wrong with you? Are you still safe now?"


                I'm just a little emotional, I'm with my mum now. A thief robbed my phone earlier and I still don't have any money, so I can't contact you lately."


                Qin Ming also guessed it and said quickly, "Lack of money? Do you have an account number, Haitang? Send it to me and I'll send you some money. No, which European country are you in for medical treatment?"


                Nie Haitang said, "I'm in Germany. But not in a hospital, I was tricked by my mother, I was in ......"


                With a snap, Nie Haitang heard a familiar woman's voice: "Hey, who are you chatting with, Qin Ming? Talking so intensely that you can't even hear me when I call out to you. Yah, it's still an offshore number, are you looking for other women behind my sister's back?"


                "!!!" Nie Haitang was shocked, she held the phone close to her ear and listened to the other women's voices, what did she mean by what she said? She was sure she didn't have a sister, and neither did the fucker.


                Qin Ming was also suddenly, so engrossed in the conversation that he hadn't really noticed that the two sisters, Mu Xiaoqiao and Mu Sichen, had arrived.


                And Mu Sichen was even more annoying, taking his phone directly from behind.


                Mu Xiaoqiao could see Qin Ming's anxiety and unhappiness, so she said, "Sister, give the phone back to your sister ......"


                Before the word "husband" could be uttered, Qin Ming was so scared that cold sweat broke out on the back of his spine and he shouted, "You shut up! Don't say anything."


                Mu Xiao Qiao was stunned by the yell, and her heart was infinitely aggrieved, "Am I not helping you? I'm helping you get your phone back? Why are you so aggressive? You're the one who asked for it, you're the one who gave you respect in front of people, doesn't that respect your status? Why are you being mean?


                Mu Xiao Qiao was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and her beautiful face was as cold as ice, she glared at Qin Ming fiercely, her impression of him fell again, and she turned her head away from him.


                Qin Ming was relieved that the word "husband" hadn't been uttered, as the phone was still connected, so if Nie Haitang heard him, there might be some misunderstanding.


                Qin Ming extended his hand towards Mu Sichen and said in a very serious manner, "Give me back my phone, we can still get along peacefully, if something goes wrong, I won't forgive you."


                When she saw her sister being scolded and scolded by Qin Ming, she felt like domestic violence. What? You're a loser who dares to be mean to my sister? What else have you contributed besides causing trouble to my sister? My sister even came to pick you up, and you're not even grateful, but you're even mean to her? This stupid Huawei mobile phone is not even worth a thousand dollars, only a poor person like you? You're a poor man? You're a poor man like you? The only way to get the money is to give it to her.


                Qin Ming yelled, "Then give me back my phone!"


                Mu Si Chun saw the look in Qin Ming's eyes that almost ate her, her delicate body trembled, as if she was being targeted by a fierce tiger, so scary, she even suspected that if she didn't give it, Qin Ming would kill her.


                "Ooooo ...... Qin Ming you are bullying me." Mu Si Chun cried in fear, she threw her phone in anger, just next to the river, and it fell into the water with a poof.


                Qin Ming watched, his heart was half cold, he recklessly jumped into the water to fish.


                "Huh?" Mu Xiaoqiao was also shocked to see Qin Ming jumping into the river, and Mu Sichen was even more dumbfounded as she added, "It's just a mobile phone, isn't it? How important is it?"


                Mu Xiaoqiao complained, "It's not the phone that's important, it's the person he's talking to, and maybe that's a very important call to him. Sister, you're in trouble this time."


                "I ......" Mu Sichen nuzzled and bristled, "Sister, am I not sticking up for you? He's a son-in-law, he's just trying to make our family rich, he's not useful at all, and he's causing you trouble, he even dares to be mean to you."


                Mu Xiaoqiao didn't bother to say anything and said, "Hurry up and call the police, Qin Ming will be finished if he drowns."


                With a crash, Qin Ming himself emerged from the river and he climbed up along a nearby sloping surface.


                When Qin Ming came up, the first thing he did was to check his phone, but it was black. It was only a thousand-dollar phone, not waterproof, and Qin Ming could hardly wait for Nie Haitang's message, but he was interrupted just like that.


                Qin Ming stood up without saying a word and walked over to Mu Sichen.


                Seeing Qin Ming's frightening eyes, Mu Sichen was startled and said, "Qin Ming, what are you thinking? The phone is broken, I'll just compensate you for one, you ......"


                SMACK!


                A clear and loud slap, Mu Sichen was slapped by Qin Ming and her head was crooked.


Chapter 242

Qin Ming slapped him, a very loud slap, causing the corners of Mu Sichen's mouth to bleed, and her white and tender face was all covered with a red slap mark.


                The look in Qin Ming's eyes was so terrifying that Mu Sichen's eyes were so red with fear that tears were falling down, covering her mouth and shivering behind Mu Xiaoqiao.


                Mu Xiaoqiao frowned and said, "Qin Ming, Xiaochun she is still young."


                Qin Ming cursed angrily, "She's a sophomore and she's still young? Is she a giant baby? Is my phone hers? Can she grab it and throw it into the river? Do you know how important the phone call just now was to me? You don't know anything, what are you defending to her here?"


                Mu Xiaoqiao said, "If you hadn't been mean to me just now and spoken nicely, she wouldn't have ......"


                "That's enough, don't want to hear your sophistry." Qin Ming interrupted Mu Xiaoqiao in annoyance and said, "I'm really unlucky to have run into your family, go wherever it's cool."


                Qin Ming didn't care about these two dumb sisters, he returned to the Century Building, and immediately asked Song Ying to change his mobile phone, and called the original number, but there was no answer.


                Qin Ming was so annoyed that he managed to reach Nie Haitang, only to have the message cut off again.


                Song Ying knew that Qin Ming was troubled about Nie Haitang and enlightened him, "Young master, since Miss Nie can still contact you, there should not be a big problem. You should not worry too much, you should still be in touch after a while."


                Qin Ming calmed down and thought back to what Nie Haitang had said. She said she was in Germany and still with her mother, so at least life was not a problem, but she also said her mother had lied to her, what did she mean?


                What had her mother lied to Nie Haitang about? Qin Ming was not sure, he could only pray that her mother had lied about Nie Haitang having cancer.


                Qin Ming straightened his emotions and instructed, "Ying, ask the people from the European branch to focus on looking in Germany, Haitang she is not in the hospital, so you can't look towards the hospital."


                Song Ying was stunned, then said in a very ashamed voice, "I'm sorry young master, it's my fault for not doing my job properly."


                Qin Ming shook his head and said, "There is no need to blame yourself, I am not yet in complete control over there, and it is forgivable that you cannot mobilise the real power sometimes."


                After Song Ying left, Qin Ming sighed and sat on the sofa, looking at the view of the Pearl River outside the glass window and muttered to himself, "The fate of husband and wife is short, the sins of children are long. Ah ...... old godly man, how did I fall under your spell and join the Mu family in the first place? But it feels like after joining the Mu family, a lot of things are getting better, is there really evil in the underworld?"


                At the same time, on the other side of the world, inside an old castle in Germany, Europe.


                Nie Haitang's mother said angrily as she smashed an old keypad phone, "Haitang, how many times have I told you? Don't talk to that poor man again? Pan shell Marco condyles? How many times have I told you? I'm not sure how much moisture is in the water. The only thing that you can do is to get a job. The only thing you need to do is to get rid of it. The newest addition to the list is the newest addition to the list. The newest and most popular of all, the newest and most popular of all, the newest and most popular of all. The bad news? The newest and most popular of all, the newest and most popular of all. The girl's hand is not a good one.


                Nie Haitang clasped her hands together and snorted coldly, "I didn't rely on you to come here, I could have survived working on my own until my visa expired and I was repatriated to my country. It was you who intercepted me in front of the embassy and dragged me hard to someone else's castle."


                It turned out that after Nie Haitang's mobile phone was robbed that day, she reported it to the police, but after all, she was a foreigner, but the local police did not actively help. Nie Haitang could not get her mobile phone back, so she continued to work in some Chinese street restaurants, and at least survived by her own means.


                Nie Haitang wanted to go to the embassy for help, but she was directly intercepted by her mother at the embassy and then forcibly arrested in this castle which was bought by a rich domestic man.


                Because she had been deceived by her mother about her cancer, she believed it and broke up with Qin Ming on her own initiative because she did not want to drag him down, and when she found out the truth she was too angry and slapped her mother, and the two mothers and daughters are still in a cold war.


                The two mothers are still in a cold war. The mother said kindly, "Haitang, my good daughter. Mum is also doing it for your own good. The owner of this castle is one of the top families in China, rich, super rich, powerful, super powerful. Our Nie family is only considered a powerful family in Guangzhou, just an ordinary powerful family. The owner of this castle is a world-class family. We are climbing up the ladder."


                Nie Haitang gritted her teeth and said, "What's the big deal about being rich? He even arranged for rich girls from all over the country to line up for a blind date at his castle. Why does it have to be this guy? You lick people like that, I can't do it."


                Nie Haitang's mother said in exasperation, "If I, Zhang Yao, had the chance back then, I would have joined this kind of rich man's blind date, so maybe you are now a thousand-year-old lady of the world's top gentry, instead of an ordinary gentry lady in the district of Guangzhou. This blind date is not the whole country, it's the world's wealthy ladies, all come here for a blind date, held for a month long, some are even willing to be his son's underground mistress."


                Nie Haitang heard such trivial words from her mother, to be the mistress of a super rich man for money?


                Nie Haitang said, "It's someone else's business if others are willing, I can't do it, even if I have three meals of green vegetables with white rice in the future, but as long as I'm with the person I like and two love each other, I have no complaints."


                Zhang Yao was furious: "You, you have not suffered yet, you are poisoned by fairy tales. You don't know the importance of money, you haven't suffered, you don't know what it's like to have power in your hands."


                Nie Haitang raised her ripe, full chest very proudly and said, "I'm suffering these days, I know it's hard to work part-time, but I'm not going to work all my life, our China Provincial University of Technology, at least it's a famous school, I can earn money on my own. Besides, Qin Ming is very capable, he will definitely make a name for himself in the future."


                Zhang Yao was so angry that she stomped her foot, "Then you'll have no one to rely on when you come out to work. That's no use at all. You used to buy bags for hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, do you think it's easy to raise a young lady like you? The reason you were brought up was to develop your temperament so that you could be seen by the super rich? Why are you so stubborn in your thinking? Even if you go in and become a mannequin and a fertility machine, you are still honouring your ancestors."


                Nie Haitang was so angry that she said, "I ...... you ...... are you still my own mother? How can you say such things?"


                Zhang Yao said, "Haitang ah, you are the flesh that falls off my body, can I harm you? This is just a metaphor. This family has a good background, is well educated and treats people sincerely, they will not really treat you as a human puppet, a fertility machine. Besides, once you give birth to a son, you'll turn over a new leaf immediately."


                Nie Haitang was silent, she was annoyed and was now like a canary that couldn't leave.


                Zhang Yao continued, "This matter, do you know how hard it was for us to catch this opportunity? The company is also looking for a lot of contacts to get invited to come to a blind date, or a group of special merit, a few grades higher than the other women oh. Your father also tacitly approved of this because he also felt that this was an opportunity to change the fate of our whole family."


                Nie Haitang was very disappointed in her heart, was she just a pawn to change the fate of the whole family and give them a better life?


                Last time when the Nie family's company was in crisis, her grandparents were so angry that they became seriously ill, she was willing to make sacrifices to keep them from worrying, and then Qin Ming helped to solve the trouble and she was saved as a result.


                At that time, Nie Jianmin blamed himself greatly and promised that this would not happen again, and that he would protect her even if the company was no longer wanted.


                But what happened? She was still forced to come on a blind date with some super rich guy?


                "Liar, it's all a lie." Nie Haitang was so disappointed with her family.


                Zhang Yao continued, "You haven't even met the host family, how do you know they aren't quality men? If they have a bad reputation, how come so many of the world's rich and famous girls are marrying in? After you've met the host family, you're guaranteed to forget about poor men like Qin Ming. Pan Jun!


                Nie Haitang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Which family is it anyway? It should be very famous in the country, right?"
