Living With a Temperamental Adonis: 99 Proclamations of Love

Prepared for the worst? Cheng Qingchong’s hand that held the doorknob tightened. When Qin Yinan started speaking again, she held her breath to focus on her listening.

"...At worst, I’ll apply for bankruptcy... There’s always money to be earned. It’s not so bad... Regarding the bank loan, I’ll figure it out... I still have the house and car, right?"

Apply for bankruptcy? The problem Qin Yinan’s company is facing is so big that he has to apply for bankruptcy? Just as the question entered her mind, Qin Yinan hung up.

Cheng Qingchong immediately pulled her thoughts back, closed the door, and rushed back to lie in bed.

The house was quiet for a long time before Cheng Qingchong heard Qin Yinan’s footsteps, coming not toward the bedroom but the study. As the door of the study opened and closed, the house became quiet once more.

Cheng Qingchong then pulled out her phone to call the number of one of her former colleagues. The colleague was probably asleep because the call was only answered after it was left to ring for a long time. "Hello?"

"I’m so sorry to call you so late at night..."

"Qingchong?" The colleague probably didn’t glance at the ID before she picked the call up. When she recognized the voice, she uttered with surprise, "What’s wrong? Is it an emergency to be calling me so late at night?"

"Yes... I have a question to ask you about Qin Yinan..."

"Qin Yinan? Your husband?"

Her colleagues didn’t know about her divorce and still saw Qin Yinan as her husband. Cheng Qingchong paused for a minute before confirming with a soft "hmm". Then, she cut straight to the chase. "Is there a problem facing his company?"

"I’m not particularly clear about the details, but I heard from some people yesterday that there’s some sort of problem with the investment of your husband’s company..." The colleague paused before adding, "...How about this, I’ll call my contacts to get the finer details, and I’ll update you later, okay?"

"Okay."

"But it’s already quite late, so my contacts might not be available. Do you mind waiting until tomorrow 10 am?"

"Of course, I don’t. Thank you for your help."

...

After she hung up, before Cheng Qingchong could even place her phone down, the return call from her colleague came.

"Qingchong, this is such a coincidence, I have a friend working at your husband’s company that is still up. So, I asked him about it, do you know Zhou Wei? He’s one of the investors for your husband’s company. Your husband’s company has already finished the product, and they’re now waiting for his investment money to come in, but the man has suddenly disappeared. The company budget all depends upon this upcoming product line, so if the money still doesn’t come by next Monday, I’m afraid your husband’s company will have to announce its bankruptcy. When he started the company, your husband probably asked for a loan from the bank, so the situation might be a bit more complicated than that..."

Cheng Qingchong then connected this to what she had overheard from Qin Yinan’s phone earlier, and she understood everything instantly. When Qin Yinan started the company, they weren’t divorced yet, so she did know about the bank loan.

If the investment issue couldn’t be solved, Qin Yinan would lose everything...
