Kan Chen’s condition gradually improved over the next few days, and the doctor advised him to replenish more nutrients in his body.

Qin Yue personally prepared a nutritious meal for him, but he didn’t even take a single bite.

Xu Lan glanced at the dishes on the dining table and sneered, “We don’t even know if these dishes were poisoned. Who would dare to eat them?”

Qin Yue felt extremely awkward.

In her previous life, when Kan Chen locked her up at home for the first time, she added sleeping pills in their dinner in return. However, due to the high dosage added into the food, Xu Lan was sent to the hospital and had her stomach pumped.

“I… I won’t do such insolent things again.” With an apologetic expression, Qin Yue ate all the dishes by herself.

In Kan Chen’s house, not only did Qin Yue have to endure Xu Lan’s verbal abuse, she also had to bear with the servants gossiping about her. There were even some servants who didn’t show her any respect, and their attitude towards her was extremely bad.

Qin Yue could only endure all of this silently. After all, in her previous life, she had treated these servants in an overbearing manner.

In order to make everyone hate her, she did all sorts of crazy things. She deliberately woke all the maids up in the middle of the night and got them to help her change the bedsheets and curtains after staining them with paint. She also released all the horses from the stables, trampled on the most expensive flowers in the greenhouse, threw oil paintings into the fountain, and even set fire to a hundred year-old tree in the courtyard.

Finally, the servants couldn’t take it anymore and went to complain to Xu Lan. However, Kan Chen offered to move out by himself, and said that this way, Qin Yue wouldn’t be able to affect their lives.

Qin Yue knew that everyone hated her now, so she could only slowly try to change their attitude towards her. However, she didn’t understand why Kan Chen was also angry with her during this entire period.

After Kan Chen returned to his room, Qin Yue decided to have a talk with him. “If you’re feeling unhappy with me, can’t you just tell me in my face?”

Kan Chen lay on the bed and looked out of the window solemnly. He refused to say a single word.

Ha! Kan Chen was pretending that he didn’t hear her again.

She gave up on communicating with him. “Suit yourself. If mocking me every day can make you happy, so be it. I’m going out now. Remember to take your medicine on time.”

“Tsk! Are you going to fool around with Xiao Yu again?” Kan Chen finally spoke. “Don’t you know that I can’t move my legs now, so I need someone to take care of me?”

“There’s nothing between Xiao Yu and I anymore. I need to go off for a meeting, since Qin Ze left some of the company’s matters to me.”

She added, “My fiancé is so outstanding and handsome, so why would I meet a man who isn’t worthy of me?”

“He’s not good enough for you?” Kan Chen mocked Qin Yue. “He’s not good enough for you, yet you still secretly got engaged to him?”

“Who told you that I was engaged to him? And it was because of this that you got into a car accident?” Qin Yue froze for a moment, then realized what was wrong. “You’re angry at me because of this, right?”

During this period of time, Qin Yue had tried to ask Kan Chen about the cause of the accident, but he didn’t answer her question directly.

“You’re not engaged to Xiao Yu?” Kan Chen’s voice and eyes were filled with distrust.

“Why would I get engaged to that b*stard?! Who is the b*stard who has been spreading rumors?!” Qin Yue was furious.

It turned out that someone had deliberately told Kan Chen this news to lure him out of the company!

That explained why he had given her so many missed calls that afternoon. He wanted to verify whether it was true, but she was taking a nap, so she didn’t answer his calls in time.

“Anyway, come back early. I want you to accompany me for a walk.” Kan Chen avoided her gaze.

Without saying a word, Qin Yue walked out of the door, clenching her fists so tightly that her knuckles cracked.

…

The members of the Menghu gang were playing poker when their door was kicked open.

“Who’s courting death?” The gang members were so flustered by the uninvited guest that they cursed loudly and took out their guns.

At the door, a woman wearing a mask walked in with a photo in her hand. Her tone was cold. “Hand this person over, and I’ll let you live.”

A man in leather boots laughed and made the gang members put down their guns. “Well, well, well. Isn’t this Miss Qin Yue? You’re finally here to visit your subordinates?
