His Beloved Treasure

Qin Mu still kept her gaze lowered after they left, Wen Runuan looked at her curiously: ”What’s wrong? Some kind of grudge with that beauty?”

”She herself said she’s new to Rongcheng, what kind of grudge could I possibly have with her, though maybe there will be one soon!”

Qin Mu said quietly, then continued drinking her soup.

”Seems like there’s some unknown matters here! But W hasn’t introduced any fresh blood in the past two years, let alone such a young designer. This Bian Jingwen must have some background!”

”Mm!”

Qin Mu nodded.

Wen Runuan could tell from Qin Mu’s expression, although she wasn’t saying much, she definitely knew something about this girl.

”You’re killing me here!”

Wen Runuan sighed and continued drinking her soup.

The woman, completely immersed in her own thoughts, was unaware of the earlier conversation, with a wooden gaze she looked at Wen Runuan.

”What did you just say?”

”Get out of here!”

Wen Runuan was so frustrated she raised her hand to playfully press Qin Mu’s head.

”Just spaced out for a bit!”

Qin Mu said while protecting her head.

”Let’s eat! We’ll talk slowly after eating!”

Wen Runuan said to her.

——

”So you’re saying you applied for a job at JY Studio and she didn’t want you?”

”Yes!”

”Did she see your resume?”

Bian Jingwen, sitting with her boss lady at a table on the corner upstairs, disclosed all she knew about Qin Mu.

”She did! Precisely because she saw it, it was such a blow to me! Does she hate rich people?”

Bian Jingwen asked in a low voice, glancing towards the window downstairs, the two individuals were having a meal and chatting, seemingly quite happy.

”Hate the rich? I heard she’s the legitimate daughter of Rongcheng’s top man, if she hates the rich, there’s probably only one reason.”

The boss lady also glanced downstairs, somewhat puzzled.

”What?”

Bian Jingwen looked at the woman sitting across from her and asked.

”I heard she was sent off to Paris as a child, maybe she has some psychological scar? Seems like she doesn’t have a good relationship with her father now either.”

The boss lady shared what she knew, though she was only partially informed.

”Is that so?”

Bian Jingwen chuckled slightly, her gaze turning somber and complex.

”This woman isn’t simple; being able to tame a cunning old fox like Chen Shao and having the founder of JY on her palm. You know how skilled her hands are?”

The boss lady, as if joking, put down her chopsticks and explained to Bian Jingwen with both hands clenched into fists.

The two women looked at each other, before long Bian Jingwen blushed and laughed, the boss lady laughed too.

”Ah! Men really can’t resist the allure of a beauty.”

The boss lady suddenly picked up her chopsticks and while picking up food, shook her head thoughtfully, reminiscing about when she joined W years ago.

”But a beauty doesn’t necessarily need to allure men!”

Bian Jingwen said.

”I only chose to place you in the company because I valued your independence from men!”

The boss lady said sharply, her piercing gaze on her.

Bian Jingwen smiled slightly and picked up her chopsticks to eat with her.

But Bian Jingwen wasn’t truly content, although everything seemed to be moving toward her desires since arriving in Rongcheng, she knew the road ahead wasn’t smooth, her real rival wasn’t someone weak like Zhang Rujia.

The woman downstairs, younger than her, wasn’t foolish, on the contrary, she was very smart.

In this design competition, she must claim first place, she absolutely wanted Qin Mu to know that there are many talented designers in this world other than her.

After the meal Qin Mu and Wen Runuan walked downstairs together, Wen Runuan whispered in Qin Mu’s ear: ”I noticed someone upstairs kept watching you!”

”Bian Jingwen!”

Qin Mu understood, speaking with a low voice.

Wen Runuan couldn’t help but cast another glance at her.

In the afternoon, Qin Mu went to the Qin Family, Qin Haiming seemed in poor health since Zhang Rujia’s death, Aunt had called her saying he was unwell again today, so Qin Mu took a casual men’s clothing item from the store to see him.

Qin Haiming was watching the news on the sofa, upon hearing the sound of high heels, he turned his head to look, at this moment Qin Mingzhu wasn’t home, this sound was almost absent in their home.

Upon seeing Qin Mu, first he was moved, then he simply smiled faintly: ”Why did you come back?”

”Aunt said you’ve been skipping meals for the past two days, of course, I had to come back and check on you!”

Qin Mu carried the box over, seeing his haggard face, she felt a twinge in her heart.
