The Cold-hearted CEO's Unwanted Bride-Chapter 9 - : A Bastard! What Does It Have to Do with Me?

"Tiantian will accept everyone's scrutiny," Qin Yan said with a weighty tone brimming with threat, "But she is a girl after all, and she does have a girl's temper. If the scrutiny proves true, then I believe Tiantian also has the right to protect herself with the law. Alright, who would like to come and have a look?"

Her words were clear, whoever stepped forward would be sued! With such a large corporation as the Bo Group, if they really wanted to sue someone, couldn't they sue them into oblivion?

Below, there was silence as if the air had turned icy.

"If there's nothing else, then let's consider this matter closed."

Qin Yan had clawed her way up in Bo Group for three years and she certainly had the presence. Dominating the room, she said, "There are many competitors for Luo Shen Bay, and to have this kind of scandal break during the opening ceremony is tantamount to malicious suppression. I hope our friends from the media won't follow this rhythm."

"The company will investigate this matter thoroughly and will notify everyone as soon as the person who started this is found!"

The situation was handled smoothly. Once she left the stage, Qin Yan instructed Tang Tian's agent, "Keep an eye on her when you get back; don't let her cause me any more trouble with photos like these! If this happens again, no one will be able to save her."

Only after the agent repeatedly nodded in assurance did he escort Tang Tian away from Luo Shen Bay.

Strictly speaking, Qin Yan handled this battle beautifully. Once everyone had left, she bent down to glance at her knee, which she had bumped in the dressing room.

It had bruised and was aching slightly.

Shi Muzhou had been held in the waiting room the whole time and only when the conference was over did he see Qin Yan, quickly approaching to ask, "What happened to your leg? Is it serious?"

"I'm fine," Qin Yan said with a slight smile directed at him, "You saw quite the show today. I've got other things to handle, so I won't be able to entertain you."

"Hey? Wait for me—"

Shi Muzhou had more to say, but Qin Yan was already limping toward the sales office. The issue was resolved; now she needed to find Bo Yunshen to fulfill his promise.

The waiting room door was ajar. As Qin Yan pushed the door open, she only saw a security guard playing with his phone.

Upon seeing Qin Yan, the security guard abruptly stood up, "Mr. Qin—"

She asked, "Where's Yunshen?"

The security guard looked nervous as he replied, "Mr. Bo just left. From the direction he took, it seemed like he was going towards the parking lot."

"How long ago did he leave?"

The guard said, "About five minutes—"

Without waiting for him to finish, Qin Yan turned on her heels and ran towards the parking lot.

As she sprinted, the wind howled past her ears and the movement seemed to agitate the sore spot on her knee.

Qin Yan saw a car driving out of the parking lot entrance from afar. The people who attended the Luo Shen Bay opening ceremony had already left; the only person coming out now would be Bo Yunshen.

She stopped in her tracks, crossed over the roadside greenery, and made her way to the street, stepping in front of Bo Yunshen's car just in time.

Bo Yunshen was driving somewhat aggressively; he hadn't expected Qin Yan to be so daring as to literally throw herself in front of his car. By the time he braked, it was already too late.

With a heavy "thud," the sound was dull and resolute.

Qin Yan fell to the ground, and from Bo Yunshen's perspective, all he could see was blood on her elbows.

Bo Yunshen's eyebrows twisted into a deep furrow, and his thick lashes couldn't hide the chill in his eyes.

His jawline was tensed, his lips pressed into a straight line, his entire being radiated intense anger.

Upon seeing her, Bo Yunshen remembered the condition Qin Yan had mentioned before entering the waiting room.

She didn't even have to think about it to know what this woman was coming for.

Laying down conditions was always Qin Yan's trump card!

Today's media got it slightly wrong. It wasn't that Qin Yan had crawled into his bed; she clearly crawled into someone else's bed. She didn't even know whose illegitimate child she was carrying, yet she had the audacity to meticulously plan the expulsion of Manman, using bone marrow donation as leverage over his mother, and marry him to take the seat of Mrs. Bo!

Among the countless women in Tong City, it was Qin Yan who had the gall to cross the line.

Furthermore, his father fell for her tricks, firmly within her grasp.

Bo Yunshen's lips curled slightly at the memory of her whitewashing Tang Tian just moments ago. How could he not know that Tang Tian had saved her three years ago?

Out of Qin Yan's mouth came not a single truth. Not only had she played the Bo Family for fools, but even the astute journalists couldn't escape her manipulation.

Was he supposed to feel fortunate that she wasn't a man? Had she been one, perhaps the Bo Group would have already fallen into her hands by now!

Bo Yunshen glanced at Qin Yan, who was still collapsed on the ground. Whoever wants to fall for her tricks and be deceived is fine by them, but he, Bo Yunshen, was done playing this game!

Bo Yunshen rolled down the car window, his handsome face showing nothing but indifference, "Dead yet?"

"Bo Yunshen, you promised me that if you could preserve both Tang Tian and Luo Shen Bay's reputations within two hours, I would get to make a demand."

Anger flickered in the depths of Bo Yunshen's eyes. Qin Yan, injured, not fully conscious, hadn't realized it and directly stated her intention.

"Director Qin, I'll remind you that Luo Shen Bay is your project. You should be responsible for any issues that arise, and you have no right to bargain with me!"

Qin Yan's tone carried a rare trace of softness, "Yinyin wants to see her dad. Could you find some time tomorrow to take Yinyin to school?"

Bo Yunshen scoffed, "Illegitimate child! What does that have to do with me?"

After that response, he didn't give Qin Yan another chance to speak. He rolled up the window, started the engine, and drove off, brushing past Qin Yan.

The car's speed kicked up layers of dust and grit from the ground, which scratched into Qin Yan's eyes, forcibly squeezing tears from them.

Qin Yan curled up on the ground, blood incessantly seeping from somewhere on her elbow, the pain pervasively overwhelming all her senses, seeping into her heart.

Qin Yan's head was spinning, her heart squeezing tightly.

In a daze, she remembered that scene from three years ago, blood everywhere.

Bo Yunshen had locked her, about to prematurely give birth, in the bedroom. In her helplessness, she had delivered Yinyin herself in the bathtub.

The bathtub and floor were splattered with blood. Three years had passed, yet the rapid loss of blood, the pain and fear were still overwhelming.

She had run water in the bathtub, and when she heard Yinyin's cries, her vision went black, her strength drained entirely, unable to lift her precious child out of the bathtub.

Bo Yunshen was too cruel to her, so cruel that at that moment, as she felt her body sliding down and her consciousness fading, she thought both she and Yinyin would die in that bathtub.

It was Lu Yi, a classmate of hers, who broke down the door and got her and Yinyin to the hospital.

Qin Yan wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, hating her own weakness. Back then, she had thought Bo Yunshen regretted his actions and had come back to save her and her daughter.

What she faced, however, was news of Bo Yunshen's passionate overnight stays at bars with his new flame while she fought for her life in the hospital, trying to deliver his child.

She should have known that Bo Yunshen had changed from eleven years ago; the events from three years past hadn't pained her enough to keep her from daring to suggest that Bo Yunshen take Yinyin to school.

Qin Yan's face turned deathly pale, enduring her own grievances was one thing, but she had also taken Yinyin's hopes to Bo Yunshen, only for them to be mercilessly crushed. She had implicated Yinyin in getting insulted by her own biological father.

Illegitimate child!
