When Qin Xue and Chu Molin made it downstairs, they again encountered the group of women chatting. It felt as if they would encounter this group every time they stepped outside, didn’t these women have anything else to do?

“Is Mr. Chu going out?” Zhang Cuihua’s eyes lit up as she watched Chu Molin. Regarding Qin Xue, she automatically ignored her.

Chu Molin just nodded in response without saying anything. His face always had the same neutral expression, cold as ice, towards everyone except Qin

Xue.

Zhang Cuihua was slightly embarrassed. Mr. Chu was as cold as ever, but handsome nonetheless. Even with his icy demeanor, she found him attractive. It was just a pity that she was already married.

...
Qin Xue caught a glimpse of Zhang Cuihua’s expression then glanced at Chu Molin. It seemed like Zhang Cuihua had a thing for Chu Molin, no wonder she targeted her every time they crossed paths.

Perhaps Zhang Cuihua felt that she couldn’t openly express her affection for Chu Molin since she was married, thus choosing to target Qin Xue. But, unfortunately for her, Chu Molin was with Qin Xue.

“Qin Xue, where are you two going? Why are you carrying stuff?” Another woman proceeded to ask Qin Xue directly, completely bypassing Chu Molin. This way, she avoided attracting gossip. The question was more a matter of whether Qin Xue was willing to cooperate.

“Hmm, just going out for a bit,” Qin Xue smiled in response before following Chu Molin away.

“Zhang Cuihua, didn’t you say last time that the child in Qin Xue’s stomach isn’t Mr. Chu’s? But it seems Mr. Chu isn’t angry about this, and their home seems peaceful. 1 haven’t seen any issues pop up. You see, they are even going out together now,” remarked a woman who had overheard their conversation last time.

“In my opinion, it should be Mr. Chu’s child. Otherwise, why would someone like Mr. Chu willingly raise someone else’s child? Don’t you all think so?” another woman chimed in.

Hearing the conversation behind him, Chu Molin’s expression turned icy.

Were these the kinds of rumors people spread about his woman all the time? Were these baseless rumors allowed to propagate?

And was there any doubt about the parentage of their child? Did he not know whose child it was? Chu Molin glance over at Qin Xue, but her face remained calm. Had she not heard their conversation? He found that hard to believe.

Qin Xue looked at Chu Molin’s stern face, “What’s wrong?”

“Xue’er, is this how people talk about you all the time!” Chu Molin asked in a cold tone. He was indifferent if gossips were spread about him, but not when they involved Qin Xue.

“I wouldn’t know about at other times, but every time I go out, they seem to be there, and their words are more or less the same. Initially, I would retaliate, but later, I stopped caring. They can say whatever they want. As long as they don’t say it to my face, I act as if I’ve not heard it. Besides, some issues need a fatal finishing blow to silence them properly, don’t you agree? So there’s absolutely no need for you to be upset about this,” Qin Xue replied with a

smile.

Watching his smiling wife, Chu Molin’s expression softened considerably. However, he was thinking about these gossipmongers – they had obviously failed to control their womenfolk, and let them bully his woman. So, he wouldn’t feel too bad about being harsh on them. If they couldn’t even manage their own women, how could they manage others?

So, while they were unaware, they were undermined by their own women. Ascending to higher positions was now impossible. Anticipating early retirement was perhaps more realistic.

The dark and manipulative Chu Molin wouldn’t let anyone harm his darling. The rest could just wait to face the consequences.

“Good day, Mr. Chu.” The security guard at the entrance recognized Chu Molin and greeted him enthusiastically even though he wasn’t in his uniform. “Hello to you too.” Chu Molin responded, before heading off to wait for a car with Qin Xue..
