My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 770 - 777 Post-syndrome 6_1

"What’s that smell?" Zhou Ziqing sniffed vigorously. "It smells like the disinfectant from hospitals. Have you been to a hospital?"

"Haha!" Qin Muchuan laughed, pushing her aside. "Your nose is quite sharp, isn’t it? Can you really detect that?

Zhou Ziqing was wary and puzzled. "You really went to a hospital? Why didn’t you mention you were unwell?"

"I went to a hospital to visit a friend’s mother!" Qin Muchuan responded lightly and calmly.

"A very important friend?"

"Yes!"

"Which friend?"

"You don’t know them!"

Suddenly, Zhou Ziqing felt a pang of discomfort. Qin Muchuan had time to visit a friend’s mother, yet he had never paid a visit to her own mother, let alone thought of doing so. "Chuanchuan, my mother hasn’t been well lately; I want to go home this weekend and visit her."

"Sure, don’t worry, I will look after Auntie. You can also take a few extra days at home!"

Zhou Ziqing felt hurt. "Chuanchuan, won’t you come with me?"

Qin Muchuan smiled. "Actually, I should have accompanied you home earlier, but work has been really busy recently. Let’s put it off for a few days, just don’t worry."

"Alright then!" Zhou Ziqing didn’t feel good, but she hid it.

However, why couldn’t he have simply left Liu, his assistant, in charge if his friend’s mother was in the hospital?

Zhou Ziqing seriously doubted him but couldn’t investigate without any leads on who was hospitalized, or which hospital it was.

She firmly closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

Qin Muchuan was now immersed in work, focusing entirely on it, not casting a glance at her.

She really found it boring to just sit in his office.

Then she thought of Lin Xiangwan, and of the ten thousand yuan she was tricked out of. The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. She couldn’t just let the money be taken, right?

"You carry on with your work. I’ll go handle my own matters!"

"Okay, I’ll join you for dinner if I have time tonight!"

"Good, goodbye!"

Zhou Ziqing replied obediently and quietly, leaving the office.

As she left, Qin Muchuan put down his work, leaning back into his chair.

In four days, it would be his birthday. The little lady had previously said she would celebrate it properly.

He was very much looking forward to it. He didn’t want to be disappointed, let alone disappoint her.

Hmm...

He has to plan this carefully.

Upon leaving Qin Muchuan, Zhou Ziqing headed straight for Lin Xiangwan’s workshop, intending to confront her.

The best outcome would be to retrieve her ten thousand yuan; if not, at the very least she would torment her.

Unexpectedly, she received unexpected news. "Lin Xiangwan was hospitalized?"

"Yes, Designer Lin had a minor ailment and is now bedridden in a hospital!" Xuexue distractedly said.

Lin’s injury was related to Brother Su, no doubt that guy is a heartless flirt. But, she had no reason to blame anyone. After all, Brother Su didn’t have feelings for her, she was just wishful thinking.

So if she felt upset, it was her own problem.

"She’s injured? Hospitalized?" Zhou Ziqing frowned, something occurred to her.

Could it really be a coincidence?

Xuexue sighed, "Yes, she’s injured. If you’re here to settle accounts with Lin, wait until she’s well. If you want her to design your birthday banquet, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait. If you don’t want to wait, I can help you with the design!"

"Since you can’t fulfill your agreement, you should give a refund!" Zhou Ziqing reasoned.

Xuexue, who had always been lackluster, suddenly perked up as if energized. "Who says we can’t fulfil our promise? Didn’t I just tell you? If you’re in a hurry, I can do the design for you. What more do you want!"

"But I clearly said I wanted Lin Xiangwan to design it, not you! I even paid double the price for her!" Zhou Ziqing angrily stated.

"Okay, if you insist on Lin designing it, you can wait for her to get well!"

"When will she be well?" Zhou Ziqing was utterly frustrated, especially knowing that Qin Muchuan had gone to see her, which incensed her further.

"In three to five days, perhaps. After all, with an injury, you need to rest and recuperate!" Xuexue responded, unsure of when exactly she would recover.

"Three to five days, by then my boyfriend’s birthday would be over. What kind of joke is this!" Zhou Ziqing was furious.

"That’s why we offered a refund and suggested other designers!"

"I told you I paid double the price, and all I wanted was Lin Xiangwan!" Dammit, now she just wanted to torment Lin Xiangwan.

"Oh, well then you’ll have to wait!" Xuexue shrugged, saying

"I told you before, it’s for a birthday. It becomes irrelevant once the date passes!"

Xuexue gave a faint smile. "Of course, we can wait till next year’s birthday to design it for you, right?"

If it wasn’t for this woman ruining Lin’s and his marriage, Brother Su wouldn’t have had a chance. All blame remains on this woman; she’s just plain spiteful.

"Are you kidding me?" Zhou Ziqing widened her eyes. She had never seen someone so unreasonable. "Don’t you think your shop lacks even a bit of integrity?"

"Hey, if you continue talking nonsense, I can sue you for defamation!" Xuexue warned.

"Just like your boss, you only know how to sue people. Do you think I’m scared? Let me tell you, return my money promptly or I’ll create a scene at your shop and let everyone decide who’s right!"

Xuexue laughed. "What’s all the fuss about? The contract stipulates explicitly that if an unexpected incident occurs, the service can be postponed by one to two months without breaching our agreement!"

"You..." Zhou Ziqing frowned, recalling the contract.

At that time, she wasn’t cautious about it, thinking it was just a purchase and design matter, they wouldn’t break the contract, so she just skimmed through it.

"If you don’t believe me, you can go home and check the contract!" Xuexue advised.

Zhou Ziqing was seething. "Do you think I’m easy to bully, that you can just have your way with me?"

Xuexue, who had been continuously shivering, suddenly trembled more intensely. "You’re not going to hit me, are you?"

"If you don’t return my money, I’ll certainly hit you, along with your boss!"

"Please don’t! I’m just a fragile girl. If you hurt me, what will I do?" Xuexue wore a pitiful expression.

Internally, she thought, it’s been a while since a fight. It feels good to have someone worthy to fight against.

Come on, anybody who wants to fight me, bring it on!

"Then, fork over the money quickly."
