Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 197

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 197

Just as Lin Xinyan wanted to explain the situation, she was interrupted by the shop assistant. “Qingqing, don’t listen to her. She brought all these people and wrecked up our store. Hurry up and get someone to arrest them all.”

Lin Xinyan frowned.

Zong Jinghao handed his daughter over to Lin Xinyan. “Wait for me in the car.”

He would solve the problem here. Although he wanted to train his son’s courage, he did not want his daughter to be involved in this. Daughters were girls, so they were different from sons.

Lin Xinyan took her daughter over, and when she was about to leave, she was stopped by the shop assistant’s cousin, Yao Qingqing, who said, “It happened because of you. If you leave, how can this matter be sorted out clearly?”

Zong Jinghao looked up, with a cold look on his face. “Sort it out with me.”

Yao Qingqing felt scared the moment she met Zong Jinghao’s eyes. He had an even more imposing presence than Bai Yinning, as his indifferent and sharp facial features were gorgeous yet expressionless, with a chill exuded from within him that made people shy away.

She clenched her fists tightly. “We are upright in our business dealings. Aren’t you too much?”

Zong Jinghao’s lips were half raised, and he sneered sinisterly.

The shop assistant hid behind Yao Qingqing. “They must be gangster. Hurry up and call Chairman Bai to come over.”

At this time, Shen Peichuan walked out of the store, and whispered in Zong Jinghao’s ear.

Yao Qingqing couldn’t hear what they were saying, but the store was wrecked, and she and her cousin—two weak women—would definitely not be able to out win them.

After thinking about it for a while, she still chose to call Bai Yinning, hoping that he would help her to solve this matter.

Obviously, they bully us just because they outnumber us.

Meanwhile, Bai Yinning was going to the hotel to pick up Lin Xinyan to meet the master who could make tea silk, but he received a call from Yao Qingqing.

“What is it?” he asked lukewarmly.

“My shop has been wrecked up by some people. Can you come over?” Yao Qingqing lowered her head. She and Bai Yinning grew up in an orphanage, so they had known each other since childhood. Later they were adopted by different families. It was not until a year ago that she and Bai Yinning met again.

It was Bai Yinning who gave her such a good storefront in this mall.

Bai Yinning glanced at the time and agreed to come over as he still had time.

It was just that he didn’t expect to meet Lin Xinyan and Zong Jinghao after coming over.

The shop assistant who had been hiding behind Yao Qingqing raised her head when she saw Bai Yinning who was coming over. “Look, I told you that Chairman Bai is very close with my cousin. How dare you make trouble here?”

Yao Qingqing frowned and looked at her cousin. Although she was friends with Bai Yinning, she did not want to use this friendship to cause trouble for Bai Yinning.

So when she heard her cousin’s words, she couldn’t help but frown.

Being smart as he was, Bai Yinning could roughly guess what happened when he saw the scene.

When he passed by Lin Xinyan, he looked at her and asked, looking concerned, “Are you okay?”

Lin Xinyan walked to stand beside Zong Jinghao and shook her head. “I’m okay.”

She didn’t understand Bai Yinning very much.

Besides, for the sake of her two children, she didn’t want outsiders to see that her relationship with Zong Jinghao was not like a normal couple.

Bai Yinning’s gaze wavered after noticing her movement, but he soon calmed down after a short while.

Her actions caused Zong Jinghao, who had always been sullen, to raise his eyebrows slightly, and even the corners of his lips were raised upwards.

“You’ve come just at the right moment. I was just about to look for an explanation from you, Chairman Bai.” Zong Jinghao put his arm around Lin Xinyan’s shoulders and walked into the messy store. Shen Peichuan asked his men to clean the sofa, whereas Zong Jinghao asked Lin Xinyan to sit down.

She had an injury on her foot and standing for a long time would slow down her recovery.

The shop assistant was completely dumbfounded. What’s going on?

Why is this person not even afraid of Chairman Bai? Why does he even have a stronger presence than Chairman Bai?

Bai Yinning is the most powerful person in Baicheng. Who is this man?

Also, who is this woman?

Why is Chairman Bai even so caring for her?

She grabbed Yao Qingqing’s arm nervously, causing Yao Qingqing to feel pain from her unconscious overexertion of force. Yao Qingqing frowned, and looked at her cousin. “They caused the trouble, why are you so afraid?”

The shop assistant was very flustered. She had been taking advantage of the relationship between Yao Qingqing and Bai Yinning to do as she liked in the mall, and no one dared to refute her every time.

Seeing that her misdeeds were exposed, the shop assistant wanted to escape, but was stopped by Shen Peichuan. “Why are you leaving in such a hurry?”

“These are all forged by you to frame me!” The shop assistant firmly refused to admit it.

Shen Peichuan didn’t bother to care about what she said.

Shen Peichuan only picked and played the important parts, but it also took half an hour before the footage of Lin Xinyan entering the store was played.

The shop assistant looked down on her at first, thinking that Lin Xinyan was someone who could not afford clothes. Later, she grabbed Lin Xinyan by the arm to stop her from leaving and insisted that she had to buy it. She even used Bai Yinning’s name to scare her and called her escort…

It was just that Lin Xinyan didn’t buy it and wanted to pay to get this matter over with after hearing Bai Yinning’s name.

Then the bodyguard rushed in.

Obviously, the shop assistant had a bad attitude and talked wildly.

“Qingqing…” At this point, the shop assistant still tried to quibble. “Qingqing, this is all made up by them to frame me. Don’t you believe them…”

Smack

Yao Qingqing rushed forward and gave her a slap in the face. She was shivering with anger. “The evidence is conclusive. Do you still want to deny it?!”

The shop assistant covered her face, her eyes widened in surprise, as if she didn’t expect that she would rush up to slap her.

Half of her face was numb.

“Q-Qingqing, I was really framed.” Now, she could only deny it until the end.

Otherwise, she would be doomed.

Yao Qingqing gritted her teeth. At this point, does she still refuse to repent and admit her mistake?

“If you insist on digging your own grave, no one can save you.” Yao Qingqing was so anxious that she calmed down instead. The person her cousin ‘blackmailed’ today was not some common folk. She was afraid the man would not let her off even if she didn’t pursue the matter.

“I’m sorry.” Yao Qingqing walked up to Bai Yinning and bowed her head to apologize. “I really didn’t know that she used your reputation to blackmail the customers just because I know you…”

Bai Yinning raised his hand, not wanting to listen to her explanation.

He still smiled and looked at Zong Jinghao. “What do you want to do?”
