A Fascinating Marriage with the Colonel - Chapter 46 - Teach Qin Shu a Lesson

Chapter 46 Teach Qin Shu a Lesson
On this night, the two of Qin Shu and Ling Mohan didn’t have any communication later.

After Qin Shu finished her study, she took a quick bath and slept in the guest room. Probably because she was exhausted today, she fell asleep soundly in less than ten minutes.

Not long after, a black shadow quietly walked in.

The room was pitch-dark. But Ling Mohan, who had taken a long period of special training, quickly adapted to the darkness. He could even clearly see all the furnishings in the room and the woman who was lying sound asleep on the bed.

He walked to the bedside and squatted down. He gently held Qin Shu’s injured ankle and stared at it for a while. After confirming it was only a light sprain, he put her foot down, then quietly left just like how he had come.

The next day, Qin Shu slept until half past seven, which didn’t happen very often. When she woke up, she was actually a little glad she sprained her ankle. Otherwise, she would be forced to run many laps by Ling Mohan again.

Thus it could see how much Qin Shu resisted getting up early and running before six o’clock every day.

However, this bit of rejoice was quickly worn away by the fact that she couldn’t move freely now. Whether when Qin Shu wanted to brush her teeth, wash her face, or change her clothes, she had to be cautious and was afraid that she would lose balance and fall into disability.

It was quiet in the villa. Qin Shu walked downstairs with a crutch. When she arrived at the dining hall, she saw some food on the table, which were still warm.

She reckoned that Ling Mohan had already left, so she didn’t pay extra attention to look for him. After finishing the breakfast quickly, she carried her bag and went to work.

The guard at the door had already received Ling Mohan’s order that if Qin Shu wanted to go out, he should have a car arranged to send her. So the guard executed the order and drove Qin Shu to work.

This was only a small matter, but the military industry group had many people and many minds, especially during the rush hour. A lot of people saw that Qin Shu came to work in a military vehicle, and there was a handsome guard who helped her take the elevator to the office.

The office was boiled up.

Of course, no one dared to talk about the matter openly. They were all secretly gossiping about it on WeChat.

“Hey, what do you think Qin Shu’s exact background is? She just sprained her ankle, didn’t she? But she actually had a special car and a specially-assigned person send her to work. That’s too pretentious.”

“Who knows. Probably she has hooked up with some certain rich military second generation. If not, how could she pass into the military industry group with her poor performance? I don’t believe her capacity.”

“That makes sense. I heard that her scores of major courses are very mediocre, not comparable to Anru’s at all. She always translates those low-brow novels, but as a result, boss will always give her important work. In that case, if you say that she didn’t pull strings, I’ll only laugh at it.”

“Looks like she will definitely be included in the list of full members who pass the intern exam. Even if she wouldn’t pass the exam, she would still be hired.”

These people chatted heatedly on WeChat’s private chat group. Qin Shu was not in the group, so she did not realize that she had become the topic center again.

But even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

Everyone relied on their own abilities to make a living. Whoever had the ability could get the attention, and those who had no capacity should just shut up!

This was Qin Shu’s attitude toward work. Therefore, even though she was not popular among the interns, some seniors in the secretary department liked her very much.

These seniors were all worldly-wise men. They knew what could be said and what couldn’t. They were never foolish enough to discuss other people’s gossip in private and got caught by others.

As for those interns who began to work not long ago, they were not tactful and thoughtful enough to deal with people, so they would inevitably make irresponsible remarks in private.

Tang Anru was also in this private chat group. She did not say a single word from beginning to end, but she silently read through all the chat records.

Was Qin Shu really dating some certain rich military second generation who had high status and a lot of influence? Tang Anru wondered.

Ling Mohan’s handsome and indifferent face suddenly flashed across Tang Anru’s mind. His tall figure, straight posture, and unusual imposing manner… Tang Anru bit her lower lip gently and a strange expression flashed in her eyes.

During the lunch break, Tang Anru called Yang Bin. After a few gentle chats with him, she changed the topic to Qin Shu and said inadvertently, “I saw a guard send her to work this morning. I don’t know whom Qin Shu has been socializing with recently. I’m really worried about her.”

Yang Bin said lovingly, “You are going to have the intern exam, so don’t think about anything else, especially an ungrateful soul like Qin Shu. No matter how good you treat her, she won’t appreciate your kindness.”

Tang Anru’s words sounded very generous, “Qin Shu isn’t that kind of person. She will only be angry for a moment. As long as I apologize to her properly, I believe she will understand. Oh right, didn’t you say last time that you were investigating Qin Shu’s friend who lived with her? How did it go? I’m worried if Qin Shu has been indiscreet enough to provoke someone, she shouldn’t have provoked, that’ll be troublesome.”

Yang Bin wanted to tell Tang Anru that she didn’t need to care about Qin Shu’s life and death, but he knew Tang Anru was kind-hearted and she cherished the friendship with Qin Shu, so he swallowed those words.

“I’ve investigated that person. Don’t worry, he’s just an ordinary soldier in the army. He doesn’t even have a military rank, so it’s impossible for him to do anything to Qin Shu.” Yang Bin’s tone was relaxed, and he sounded like Ling Mohan wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

In fact, Yang Bin did have spent money to find a private detective to investigate Ling Mohan’s background, but he didn’t get any information.

However, Yang Bin didn’t want to lose face in front of his goddess. He didn’t want Tang Anru to feel that he was too incompetent to even find information about a man.

Moreover, he didn’t want Tang Anru to worry about Qin Shu all day long. He subconsciously thought that Ling Mohan was a brutal and unreasonable rogue soldier, so Yang Bin just made up nonsense to Tang Anru.

“Oh, since that’s the case, I’m relieved.” Tang Anru breathed a sigh of relief, but her tone was still accompanied by a trace of worry. “What I’m worrying about is Qin Shu might feel wronged and act rashly because I’m in love with Mingran, and she might find a man randomly to anger me.”

Yang Bin asked with confusion, “What does that have to do with your being in love with Qi Mingran?”

Tang Anru hurriedly said and seemed to be concealing something, “It’s nothing. I’m just overly concerned. I don’t think Qin Shu is the kind of person who will take away her friend’s boyfriend by force.”

If Tang Anru hadn’t said like that, Yang Bin wouldn’t have recalled anything. But as soon as she said the above sentences, Yang Bin recalled the scene in which Qin Shu and Qi Mingran pulled and pushed each other intimately in the bathroom of the western restaurant.

Qin Shu must want to seduce Qi Mingran. When she failed, she became angry from embarrassment instead. Therefore, taking advantage of Tang Anru’s kindness and that Tang Anru valued the friendship with her, Qin Shu dated a rogue soldier to anger Tang Anru.

Qin Shu was too shameless!

After hanging up the phone, the more Yang Bin thought about it, the more he felt it was unfair for Tang Anru. He felt sorry for Tang Anru because she had suffered all injustice and still wanted to beg for Qin Shu’s forgiveness.

But apparently, Tang Anru had done nothing wrong.

No, he wouldn’t allow Tang Anru to suffer injustice. He must teach that shameless woman Qin Shu a lesson!

…

At nightfall, the guard came to pick Qin Shu up from work.

The guard and Qin Shu arrived at the gate when a white BMW parked in front of Qin Shu. Qi Mingran was dressed in a silver-gray, high-end and custom-made suit and elegantly got out of the car. He stood in Qin Shu’s way.

“What happened to your foot?” he frowned and asked in a concerned tone.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qi. It’s just a sprain.” Qin Shu didn’t want to talk to him in case that she would cause rumors for herself about her seducing other’s boyfriend.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Qi Mingran took a step forward and stopped her. “I want to talk to you.”

He put one of his hands in his pocket, with a mature, elegant and steady temperament, and looked like a graceful and noble prince.

But Qin Shu did not have the slightest amount of interest in him. She curled her lips and said politely, “I’m sorry, Mr. Qi, I have nothing to talk to you.”

She signaled the guard to help her walk toward the car.

Qi Mingran frowned and stopped Qin Shu again. His tone was very tough. “Qin Shu, running away is not the solution to the problem. I know you still have feelings for me and hate me for being with Anru, but you can’t blame Anru on everything. She is innocent.”

Qin Shu understood. Qi Mingran came to take revenge for Tang Anru.

Qin Shu thought his words were very funny, so she laughed impolitely. “Mr. Qi, being self-sentimental is a sickness, you need to see a doctor. And, whether Tang Anru is innocent or not, you and she know it well in your hearts. Don’t say anything righteous in front of me, I won’t buy!”

Qi Mingran’s expression changed slightly. He frowned and said, “You are still as willful as before. When you talk, you don’t consider the feelings of others in the slightest amount.”

“Tsk, why should I consider the feelings of a cheating scum?” Qin Shu laughingly asked.

No matter how cultured Qi Mingran was, he was now pissed off by Qin Shu, and he couldn’t help but shout her name. “Qin Shu! We are adults. Adults should solve problems in a mature way, but not blame others blindly and hurt innocent people.”

Qin Shu raised her eyebrows. “Oh, who did I hurt?”

Qi Mingran looked at her with a complicated expression. “Do you have to force me to show you no respect?”

Qin Shu didn’t care at all. “I’m already shameless in your heart. So just tell me straightforwardly.”

Qi Mingran was a little annoyed. He glanced at the people around him and said, “On that day, I saw you in the coffee shop. You burned Anru’s hand on purpose…”

Qin Shu sneered. “Stop! It was she herself who grabbed me by the hand and held on to me, then knocked down the coffee. I didn’t do anything on purpose.”

“You could’ve stopped her, but you let the coffee burn her. That is intentional hurting.” Qi Mingran recalled the scene on that day in which the back of Tang Anru’s white and tender hand was burned red, his handsome face couldn’t help but reveal a trace of caring.

Qin Shu felt that she did not need to continue talking to him, because no matter what she said, she was wrong.

The wisest way was to ignore idiots!

“Let’s go,” Qin Shu said to the guard and turned around to leave.

Qi Mingran grabbed her in the shoulder in one try and said, “Qin Shu, we have to talk today!”

The guard was ready to start an attack but was stopped by Qin Shu.

She didn’t want to cause trouble in public. Besides, if the news about a soldier fighting an ordinary man was spread, it would be bad for the soldier’s reputation. Perhaps people would think that they abused their power and bullied common people.

Qin Shu took a deep breath. She was about to speak when a gentle and surprised voice suddenly sounded from not far away, “Mingran, Qin Shu, what are you doing here?”

Qin Shu and Qi Mingran looked up at the same time.

Tang Anru wore a long and white gauze dress with her delicate and pure face. She walked over to them gracefully like an angel. She rested her beautiful eyes on Qi Mingran in such a gentle way that no one could say no if she ever asked for something.

Qi Mingran let go of Qin Shu. He hugged Tang Anru’s waist and whispered to her, “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Qin Shu.”

“Okay, I know.” Tang Anru smiled sweetly and was a little shy. She looked at Qin Shu with concern. “Qin Shu, how did you injure your foot? Are you feeling better now? I know an old Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating sprain injuries. What about letting Mingran and I take you to the doctor later?”

Facing Tang Anru’s earnest concern, Qin Shu seemed to be very distant. “No need, I still have things to attend to. I’ll leave first.”

Qin Shu had been standing there for a while, and she felt a faint pain in her foot. She just wanted to get into the car as soon as possible, then went back to apply some ice to the injury.

However, no one expected that at this moment, a few women suddenly rushed out and grabbed Qin Shu’s hair fiercely!

“Bitch! How dare you seduce my husband! I’ll beat you to death!”

“I’ll kill you, shameless mistress!”
