Chapter 419: Chapter 419: This is not helping me, this is harming me
After finishing her sentence, Xie Shiyun didn’t give Qiao Yin another glance, she turned around, got into the car, and drove away.
The luxurious Lincoln pulled away, spraying up a large amount of rainwater, drenching Qiao Yin.
Qiao Yin was almost entirely soaked.
Suppressing her enormous outrage, she got into her car and dialed Dongfang Mu’s number.
The call rang for a long time before it was answered. Qiao Yin started speaking anxiously, “Young Master Mu, you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a female voice intervened, “Assistant Qiao, this is Cui Shuqian, Mu is drunk and asleep right now, do you need anything?”
All of Qiao Yin’s words were choked back down her throat.
All she could say was, “No, nothing much. Just wanted to ask him about something work-related. If he’s sleeping, I’ll instead go to Secretary Wan.”
“OK, you’ve worked hard, Assistant Qiao. I will let Mu know later, he should give you an extra bonus.”
“Thank you, Miss Cui, I won’t disturb you further.”
Once Qiao Yin had finished speaking, she hung up the call.
Then, she dialed Secretary Wan’s number.
Secretary Wan hadn’t been drinking at noon. As Dongfang Mu’s most trusted and relied upon secretary, he was usually a teetotaler. Especially in a crucial moment, he wouldn’t drink as he has to take care of Dongfang Mu to prevent him from having any mishaps.
The call was answered quickly: “Miss Qiao.”
“Secretary Wan, did Young Master Mu give my father twenty million?”
Secretary Wan suddenly fell silent.
He couldn’t understand. He had strictly told Qiao Haidong not to mention it, how did Qiao Yin found out about it so quickly?
Seeing Secretary Wan’s silence, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but raise her voice, “Young Master Mu’s mother just stopped my car, she confronted me, she said Young Master Mu gave my father twenty million, she was very angry and insisted I must leave Young Master Mu! I need to know if this is actually true?! Secretary Wan, you must tell me truth!”
Secretary Wan was taken aback, “Lady Mu sought you out?”
“Yes! She even knew about the two five million incidents. She thinks there are inappropriate relationships between me and Young Master Mu.”
“Sorry, Miss Qiao.”
Secretary Wan found himself caught off-guard, he didn’t understand why he was apologizing.
Clearly since his boss gave twenty million to Qiao Yin’s father, it should be his boss that’s at a loss. So why is it that he’s the one apologizing on behalf of his boss?
He sighed, then finally admitted the truth, “Young Master Mu saw you crying yesterday and thought something happened at your home. So, he let me contact your father. Your father immediately agreed, asking Young Master Mu to buy his medicinal herbs for twenty million. Young Master Mu directly gave him the money.”
Once the truth was confirmed, Qiao Yin felt weakened, her strength suddenly drained.
She leaned back on the car seat, her face turned pale, “The batch of medicinal herbs from Qiao Haidong, they’re all decayed now and cannot be used. Didn’t he send someone to check the herbs before buying them?”
“Young Master Mu said it wasn’t necessary to check. He said he just wanted to help you solve your problem so no matter what your father’s herbs were like, Young Master Mu would buy them. Later, I sent someone to receive the herbs. Indeed, the herbs were basically useless. I reported this to Young Master Mu but he never changed his mind, he still wanted to help your family get through this difficult time.”
Tears started to fall from Qiao Yin’s eyes as her emotions began to crumble, “Why didn’t he tell me?! Twenty million! This is such a huge sum of money, why wouldn’t he let me know?! I now owe him a huge favor without even knowing anything about it! Did any of you guys ever consider my feelings? If you guys wanted to help me, why didn’t you discuss it with me first?! This isn’t helping, it’s harming me!”
“Miss Qiao, please don’t overreact. Young Master Mu truly wanted to help you. And, twenty million isn’t a big deal for him, please don’t pressurize yourself too much. Young Master Mu was afraid you would feel pressured, that’s why he told me to keep it a secret..”
