CH 15

Although Xie Zhongxing had already refused Qin Zhongyue’s watch, Qin Zhongyue still couldn’t hold back and asked again, “You really don’t want it? I’ve already engraved your name on it so if I give it to someone else, they most likely wouldn’t be too happy.”

Xie Zhongxing remained unmoved, “No, you can keep it for yourself.”Qin Zhongyue declared, “I have one!”He pushed up his sleeves and revealed a watch on his wrist. It was slightly larger than the one he tried to give Xie Zhongxing and the strap was pure black in colour, not a metal strap like Xie Zhongxing’s.Very clearly, it was a couple watch. Qin Zhongyue however was able to continue nonchalantly, “If you accepted it, we would be wearing a matching set. Wouldn’t that be great?”Zhong Yiming: “…….”Why was he able to voice those kinds of thoughts so frankly like that?Zhong Yiming glanced at Xie Zhongxing. Seeing that his expression was still as calm as ever, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.Xie Zhongxing was determined not to receive the watch. As Qin Zhongyue was still a little fearful of the dictatorship from Xie Zhongxing in his last life, he also didn’t dare take it too far.As the person who was being framed, Xie Zhongxing also had to visit the police station. Both Qin Zhongyue and Zhong Yiming accompanied him there.By the time everything was all over, it was already night.Qin Zhongyue checked the time and asked Xie Zhongxing, “Want to come to my place for dinner?”Zhong Yiming helped Xie Zhongxing answer, “It’s already time for self-study. Also, we’ve already eaten.”Qin Zhongyue was a little miffed when he heard this. He personally felt that his heart was as wide as the Pacific Ocean and it was also precisely because of this that he had so many friends around him, but, speaking honestly, he really couldn’t stand Zhong Yiming this person.Perhaps it was because Zhong Yiming was too self-absorbed and would always answer for Xie Zhongxing. Those who didn’t know the situation would’ve thought that he was Xie Zhongxing’s mother!

Qin Zhongyue ignored Zhong Yiming and said to Xie Zhongxing, “I think you can ask for leave. After receiving a shock from today, I want to take you to eat something nice to recover from it.”Xie Zhongxing shook his head, “I still have a few sets of papers to do. I need to go back to finish them.”Qin Zhongyue who was unsuccessful even despite asking Xie Zhongxing directly could only glumly accept it, “Alright then.”Seeing him look so downcast, Xie Zhongxing’s heart softened a little. He quietly added, “Next time.”When Qin Zhongyue heard this, his mood turned for the better, “Okay! Next time then!”The most secretive topic between himself and Xie Zhongxing was Xie Zhongxing’s experience as a secret service agent. Qin Zhongyue leaned closer to him and bent down and whispered, “Next time you come to my place, you can also tell me the details of your job as a secret service agent. I can be your one and only audience.”Xie Zhongxing, “………”He still believed that nonsense?Remembering Zhong Yiming, Qin Zhongyue continued with a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, “Only I know about this secret of yours?”“……” Xie Zhongxing had indeed only joked about this with Qin Zhongyue. Thinking this, he nodded.Qin Zhongyue grinned happily. He straightened back up and glanced at Zhong Yiming triumphantly before saying to Xie Zhongxing, “I’ll walk you back to school.Although he didn’t like Zhong Yiming, Qin Zhongyue who personally felt that his heart was as wide as the Pacific Ocean decided to also walk Zhong Yiming back to school.After Xie Zhongxing and Zhong Yiming reached their school, they watched Qin Zhongyue leave in a Maybach while feeling a little complicated inside.Zhong Yiming spoke up, “Qin Zhongyue seems to come to school in a different car every day. That Maybach costs millions. He really is the definition of rich.”After saying that, his gaze lightly landed on Xie Zhongxing’s face. It was as if he wanted to see a reaction of some sort.Xie Zhongxing’s expression was still very calm. He wasn’t like the typical high school student one would expect and was unusually reserved and restrained. After hearing Zhong Yiming’s words, he said softly, “I can see that.”

To enable Qin Zhongyue to casually throw away millions of yuan, if his family wasn’t made out of mountains of gold and silver, that wouldn’t have been possible.Was he envious? Of course, he was. He was someone who was still struggling to be able to afford his basic necessities. Qin Zhongyue who was the same age as him was like someone who was from another world, it was almost unreal.Was he jealous? No, not really. All he could do now was to place all his efforts on studying, to sprint towards that day two months later where his string of fate would be let down. Once he grabs hold of that string of fate and work hard climbing up, he would be able to change his fate.This was the meaning behind his hard work.Xie Zhongyue restored his gaze, “Let’s go and study.”*Fu Donglin who was at the police station soon saw his mother arrive.His mother was pretty good looking and had taken good care of herself. Despite being in her thirties, she looked like someone who was in her early twenties. Her temper however wasn’t very good. As soon as she entered the police station, she loudly yelled, “My son is very well behaved, how could he have bullied his classmate?! Hurry and let him go! What are you going to do if he doesn’t do well in his college entrance exams?!”The policeman on duty politely tried to explain to her, “We have already obtained surveillance camera evidence and testimony from his classmates. It has been confirmed that your son has been bullying his classmate and have also tried to frame the other party. If the other party wants to report your son, your son might have to go to jail.”Huang Yuan’s eyes widened in anger, “Go to jail?! Go to what jail?! Who dares send him to jail! It’s definitely that student’s trickery! Can’t you police investigate this properly?! I know my son well and he’s not the type to do something like this! Even if he did, it must be that student’s fault! Where is that student? Get him to come out and I’ll ask him myself who has been bullying him!”With her making such a commotion, the policeman’s expression was a little poor. His many years of experience however allowed him to remain calm as he tried to talk some sense to her, “Ma’am, I understand that you are concerned about your son, but the evidence is here. We are a society governed by laws. This is not a matter that can be brushed aside just because you say that he’s well-behaved and won’t do something like this….”Huang Yuan was livid, “Nothing happens for no reason. Even if my son did it, it must be because there’s a problem with that student. I heard from Lin Lin that that student is a brat who is dirt poor. It’s not surprising that he would have such thoughts after seeing a fifty-thousand-yuan watch. Instead of detaining the thief, you detained my son instead! Are you all in your right minds?! Hurry and left my son go or I’ll report you!”The policeman’s expression was very poor. He spoke more sternly, “Ma’am, this is a police station, not a vegetable market. Please calm down. If you have any doubts, you can get a lawyer.”Huang Yuan, “Of course I’ll get one! I want to report that student for slander!”

The policewoman sitting in the duty room rolled her eyes.Just as Huang Yuan wanted to say something, her phone suddenly rang. When she saw the caller, she immediately picked up and her tone also changed, “Hello? Ah, husband, yes, I’m at the police station! I asked them to let Lin Lin go but they won’t and they’re insisting that Lin Lin has been bullying his classmate and that he needs to go to jail! Hurry and do something. It’s almost time for the college exams. Something like this is going to affect Lin Lin’s performance. What are we going to do if he doesn’t manage to get into university!”The other side said something, and Huang Yuan immediately smiled, “Yes, you’re the best! I knew my husband wouldn’t let us mother and son be mistreated. You should also take care of that student. He’s too much, bullying our Lin Lin like this and pretending to be pitiful. I’ve seen this kind of trickery too many times. Only the police will fall for it!”The policeman: “…..”To dare talk about ‘taking care’ of the student right in front of him, they’re too fucking lawless! Huang Yuan hung up and spoke triumphantly, “I’ll only let my son stay here for one night.”The policeman’s expression was stern, “In a society governed by laws, the law will not spare anyone who breaks it, and it will also protect anyone that needs to be protected. Some people may just bully their classmate now but later they may move on to murder or arson.”Huang Yuan rolled her eyes and didn’t bother arguing with the policeman. She just muttered, “My son is the most well-behaved…”After saying that, without even bidding goodbye, she turned and left.The policeman glanced up at the ‘Loyalty and Justice, Impartial Law Enforcement’ slogan on the wall and muttered to himself, “Some people they are.”He thought back to the student who was framed and felt a little worried. After some hesitation, he dug out the phone number belonging to the tall student from earlier and sent out a text.On the other end, Qin Zhongyue who was in the middle of voicing his complaints to Qin Xiangqian on the phone heard the tone and tapped open the message.As soon as he was done reading it, his originally bright eyes immediately began to burn with rage.“What’s wrong?” Qin Xiangqian asked.Qin Zhongyue’s tone turned angry, “This is too much! I originally wanted to show them mercy and just cut the company funds but look at this! He still wants to bring Xie Zhongxing to ruin! I can’t believe this!”

Qin Xiangqian heard this and sighed, “This is how society works. The strong prey on the weak. If you are not strong, you would soon be eaten by the others until there is nothing left behind…”Qin Zhongyue complained, “Dad! Stop talking nonsense and hurry and help me deal with him! Let’s make them bankrupt to teach them a lesson!”Qin Xiangqian, “……….”His words interrupted, he could only follow Qin Zhongyue’s flow and say, “You can get Old Li to sort out the information and have it emailed to your Uncle Liao’s email. I’ll do it for you tomorrow.”Qin Zhongyue calmed down a little when he heard this, “You should do it as soon as you can. Don’t let them bully my desk mate.”Qin Xiangqian wanted to use this opportunity to teach his son a lesson in life, “You’re already grown up. Asking your dad to stand up for you after being bullied really isn’t manly of you.”Qin Zhongyue answered, “What does it have to do with being manly? Aren’t you my dad?”Qin Xiangqian, “……”Qin Zhongyue said in earnest, “Don’t think too much about it. Us father and son are of the same mind and body. What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is yours. You standing up for me is the same as me standing up for myself so what difference does it make?”Qin Xiangqian, “………”Qin Zhongyue continued, “Dad, I’m going to hang up now. If you help me sort this out, I’ll study hard and get into Tsinghua or Peking University for you so that you can stand proud in front of my uncles!”Qin Xiangqian, “Why am I unable to take those words of yours seriously…..”Qin Zhongyue said sternly, “Old Comrade Qin, don’t belittle yourself. You must have confidence in your superior genes!! If you can manage the company so well, why can’t your son get into Tsinghua or Peking University in two months?!! Just you wait, it’s just Tsinghua and Peking University. Even if I take the exam with my toes, I’ll be able to get in with ease!!”Qin Xiangqian: “………”This kind of blind self-confidence and thick skin, he is indeed his child.The author has something to say:Baby Yue: I want to have a couple set with wifey QUQXing Xing: No, you don’t want to.
