Guide to Divorce in Wealthy Families

Chapter3

After returning from the conflict scene, Qin Chun called Zhao Nanshan and Sister Qi and went to the project department of Taohuayuan Town together.

As an established real estate company with a history of thirty years, the Qin Garden Group enjoys a high reputation in Anzhou and even the whole country. It has two major businesses, real estate and cultural tourism, and also engages in investment. It reached its peak in the years before Qin Chengshan passed away. At that time, there were nearly ten buildings under construction simultaneously in Anzhou.

After Qin Chengshan passed away, Qin Chenglang took over. As the daughter of the former chairman and a company executive, Qin Chun, on the one hand, didn't want to face this sad place. On the other hand, to avoid making her uncle feel jealous, she simply requested to go to "Qin Garden Green City", a company under the group. In recent years, she has been working in high-end real estate and has fortunately completed two well-known high-end real estate projects with remarkable achievements.

Zhao Nanshan has always had great admiration for this young lady. He told the current situation of Taohuayuan Town in detail.

Taohuayuan Town began preparations seven years ago. It took two years for demonstration, evaluation, and planning. Another year was spent raising funds and seeking cooperative investment. It was officially launched four years ago.

Qin Chun was an important member of the project department in the early stage of planning and multi-party cooperation. She knew this project like the back of her hand. But when the first phase of the project was about to be completed, Qin Chengshan had an accident. After that, she never paid attention to it again.

"Now the first phase of Taohuayuan Residence in Taohuayuan Town has been successfully delivered half a year ago. The infrastructure on the west side of the town has also been basically completed. But the presale situation of the second phase is very. The sales rate is less than 30%." Zhao Nanshan sighed repeatedly. "The funds didn't arrive. The original trestle and tourism facilities couldn't be built. The east side is still deserted. When people who bought houses saw it on site, they backed out. No matter how well the salespeople talked, it was useless."

Qin Chun's heart sank.

This situation sounded even worse than she had expected. If the presale owners sensed something abnormal and came to protect their rights together, this project would be completely finished. The head office couldn't stay out of it either.

What was Qin Chenglang thinking?

"Sister Qi, how is the company's financial situation now?"

Sister Qi hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, her phone rang. She quickly answered and called out. "Chairman Qin."

Qin Chun couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone. But Sister Qi's face visibly changed. After hastily responding a few times, she hung up the phone and swallowed the words she wanted to say. Apologetically, she said. "Miss Qin, I'm sorry. Chairman Qin said I made a mistake at work and asked me to go back immediately."

Understandable.

Qin Chun nodded. "Sister Qi, then be careful in dealing with it. I won't speak for you to avoid making it worse for you."

Sister Qi left. Qin Chun stayed behind and checked the project materials of these years with Zhao Nanshan. She roughly had an idea. Then she went to the director's office and president's office on the top floor. Qin Chenglang was no longer there. Vice President Yu chatted with her casually and said some unimportant financial data and public reports. Finally, relying on his seniority, he advised her. "Xiaoyu, after all, you are still young and see problems very superficially. You are too emotional. This Taohuayuan Town project is now a hot potato. Continuing it is a dead end. Abandoning it will also cause great losses. The difference is between a big loss and a small loss. Your uncle's strategy of cutting off the wrist is correct. Don't worry about this anymore. Just be a comfortable rich lady and young lady."

"Really?" Qin Chun asked, with a slight upward curve of her mouth, a half-smile.

She looked five or six points similar to Qin Chengshan. With this smile, she was even seven or eight points alike. Vice President Yu couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. His contemptuous expression subsided a bit.

"Of course. We are also thinking of putting the company first in everything," he changed his tone and smiled apologetically. "If the funds from Chengfeng Group can arrive in place, maybe this project can still make a last-ditch effort. This will require your help."

It was almost eight o'clock when she came out of the company. There was a long line of red taillights on the road. Anzhou under the cover of night was still busy.

Perhaps because she was too hungry and now didn't feel the hunger anymore. Looking at the traffic jam, Qin Chun lost the mood to eat. She bought some small cakes near the company and went home directly.

Pushing open the door, the nearly 300-square-meter large flat was pitch-dark. It was like a huge monster squatting in front of her, eyeing her and waiting for the opportunity to devour her.

Qin Chun stood still at the door for a moment, waiting for herself to get used to this darkness.

She enjoyed this tranquility but didn't like the darkness. Every time she came home, she would subconsciously expect someone to light a lamp for her here.

With a "snap", the entire large flat was suddenly as bright as day. The hourly worker, Sister Chen, should have just come in the afternoon. The room was bright and clean. There wasn't even a speck of dust in the corner of the living room.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, she overlooked the night view of the city from above.

On the left was the sparkling Luohu Lake. Dots of lights were hidden in a lake and greenery, full of poetic charm. To the southwest was Jincheng Square, the city center. The tall buildings were filled with neon lights, a scene of prosperity.

Busy outside and quiet inside. This community was a high-end work delivered by the Qin Garden Group three years ago. Whether in terms of location or supporting facilities, it was the top level in Anzhou's real estate industry. Back then, Qin Chengshan and her father-in-law, Xiao Qing, took one look at this place and chose it as their wedding house.

It was funny to say. In her and Xiao Bingyang's marriage, it seemed that from the very beginning, it had nothing to do with the two of them. Xiao Bingyang completely let go. In the past two years and more, the number of times they met could be counted on one's fingers.

Perhaps when the two faced each other, they would still have to think for a moment. "Who is this person? Why does he look a bit familiar?"

Qin Chun smiled self-mockingly. Habitually, she reached out to smooth her hair. Her fingers found nothing. Only then did she remember that she had cut her long hair.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart and really wanted to talk to someone.

Turning on her mobile phone, she pressed her mother Yu Shuyuan's mobile phone number.

The phone was connected. Just as Qin Chun called out "Mom", she heard the humming sound of chanting sutras coming from the receiver. And Yu Shuyuan was talking to someone, leaving her on hold.

After waiting for about three or four minutes, Yu Shuyuan finally remembered her. "Xiaoyu, Mom is in the temple. What's the matter?"

Qin Chun's eyebrows slightly knitted. "What are you doing in the temple?"

The chanting sound in the receiver finally disappeared. Yu Shuyuan went outside. "Your third grandma said that this temple is very spiritual. After doing a few days of religious ceremonies, your dad can come to me in a dream. Then we can know how he is doing over there. Xiaoyu, I always feel uneasy in my heart. Why haven't I dreamed of your dad in these two years? Could it be that he is really not doing well over there? After thinking about it, I still have to believe it just in case. What if..."

Her voice had a distinct Anzhou accent. Soft and gentle, very pleasant to hear. But as she spoke, she choked up.

"Mom, don't be sad," Qin Chun rested her elbow on the windowsill and propped her forehead with her wrist. She patiently comforted. "Do whatever you want. But don't be too obsessed. Relax your mood. Dad definitely doesn't want you to be so sad."

"I know... But I just can't get out of it..." Yu Shuyuan's voice was intermittent. "Xiaoyu, why is it that your dad is so unlucky... Is God jealous of our family..."

Qin Chun listened in silence for a moment and subtly changed the topic. "Mom, how are the religious ceremonies done? I've never seen them before."

Religious ceremonies are nothing more than chanting sutras and burning incense. Yu Shuyuan talked about it for a while. Finally, her mood improved a bit. There was a lay Buddhist calling her. She quickly asked. "Do you have anything else?"

The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

Of course there were.

She wanted to act coquettishly with Yu Shuyuan. Today was her lunar birthday. Didn't Yu Shuyuan remember?

She wanted to tell Yu Shuyuan that the project that Qin Chengshan valued the most before his death might go bankrupt. She was unwilling.

She wanted to discuss with Yu Shuyuan that she didn't want to give up the position of chairman of the Qin Garden Group. Otherwise, she was afraid that Qin Chengshan's foundation would be gone.

...

However, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

"Nothing. I just missed you and called you." She said casually.

"Then I won't talk to you for now. Mom will stay here for a week. We'll talk when I come back later." Yu Shuyuan hurriedly hung up the phone.

Looking at the blackened screen, Qin Chun let out a light sigh.

Since Qin Chengshan's unexpected death, Yu Shuyuan had been immersed in grief. She had neurasthenia and often suffered from insomnia and many dreams. Her physical condition was not very good. Qin Chun had once wanted to bring her to live together. But she didn't want to. On the one hand, she was afraid of affecting the relationship between the young couple. On the other hand, she was reluctant to leave the home she and Qin Chengshan had.

In fact, Yu Shuyuan was overthinking.

In her and Xiao Bingyang's marriage, at present, there seemed to be no affection at all. How could it affect?

Of course, she couldn't say this to Yu Shuyuan. If she did, Yu Shuyuan would probably be even more anxious.

This phone call didn't make Qin Chun's mood better. Instead, she felt even more empty. She didn't have the mood to chat with others anymore. So she simply took a bottle of wine from the bar.

The amber liquid swayed in the glass. Cold and luxurious. Just like her marriage. Draped in the gorgeous coat of a wealthy marriage alliance. Enviable.

Qin Chun stared at it for a moment. She couldn't help laughing and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

This wine didn't have the burning taste as she had imagined. The aftertaste always had a hint of vanilla and honey. There was a flash of sweetness in the spicy taste.

It tasted good.

Her publicly disclosed resume showed her solar birthday. Only her family knew her lunar birthday. In the past, Qin Chengshan and Yu Shuyuan would buy a birthday cake or make a bowl of longevity noodles to celebrate a little on this day.

Now no one remembered. So she had to celebrate alone.

Turning on the music player, it was just a song "Dancing with wine". She poured another glass and enjoyed her one-person birthday dinner with the small cake she bought.

The night grew deeper. The playlist of the player also jumped to the last song and stopped abruptly.

With a "click", the door opened. Xiao Bingyang pushed the door and entered.

Today was another busy day. He dealt with official business in the company and was busy until now.

When he was busy with work before, he lived in the apartment next to the company. There was a one-stop service butler there. No matter how late it was, the services for food, clothing, housing, and transportation were proper and thoughtful. But today, for some reason, Qin Chun's bright and beautiful face kept flashing in his mind from time to time. In the end, he asked the driver to drive back home.

Anyway, Qin Chun was his nominal other half. Reaching the point where they didn't recognize each other when facing each other didn't seem appropriate. Moreover, from the video, it seemed that Qin Chun had encountered some difficulties. If he didn't ask about it, it wouldn't be good to explain to the old man.

The entire flat was brightly lit but there was no one. Xiao Bingyang looked around and finally found a huddled figure on the lazy bone in the living room.

The money tree on the side was lush with greenery. It shrouded Qin Chun in the shadow of the tree crown. There was half a bottle of wine and leftover cake on the coffee table. There were still a few drops of remnant liquid in the glass.

Looking at the label on the wine bottle, Xiao Bingyang couldn't help frowning.

This wine tasted very good. But it had a strong aftertaste. Zheng Huai, that little playboy, liked to use it to pick up girls in bars the most.

It seemed that Qin Chun was drunk.

Xiao Bingyang was always self-disciplined. In his mind, drunk people would be judged as failing from the start. A drunk woman would be even more negative. He glanced indifferently at Qin Chun. Suddenly, he felt that his return today was very redundant.

Just as he was about to leave, Qin Chun's eyelashes fluttered a few times and suddenly opened her eyes.

The clear and dark pupils were covered with a thin layer of drunkenness. The ceiling light was reflected in her eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes were hazy but twinkling with light. Just like the magnolia in the morning mist. Charming and moving.

After the initial confusion, Qin Chun's gaze scanned Xiao Bingyang's face and focused on his hair.

"It's you..." A slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Come here."

"You are drunk. Go back to your room and rest quickly." Xiao Bingyang remained unmoved.

Qin Chun tilted her head and thought for a moment. She stood up by supporting herself on the coffee table and staggered forward a few steps. But her steps were unsteady. Before she reached Xiao Bingyang, her foot slipped. The whole person lunged forward. It seemed that she was about to fall to the ground.

Xiao Bingyang was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He reached out to catch her. But Qin Chun's forward momentum was very strong. He was also pulled back a few steps. The two fell on the sofa together.

"Good boy. Did you come to see me because you know it's my birthday?" Qin Chun murmured to herself. She inserted her fingers into his hair and stroked it vigorously a few times. Then she smiled contentedly. "Look. Always running around outside. The fur is dirty..."

Xiao Bingyang didn't react for a moment. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly realized.

Was Qin Chun treating him like a stray cat and stroking his fur?
