Chapter 167 – Aren’t you going to ask me why I want to return the check? (2)

Yan Shuyu’s eyes widened. She suddenly felt that she got something. Zhou Qinhe slowly added another clue. “Miss Xie is also the cousin of Mr. Qin whom we ran into at this restaurant the other day.”

Oh. Em. Gee. It took Yan Shuyu quite a bit of time before she was able to sort out the complicated relationships between all these people. She couldn’t help but lament, “Your circle of rich people is so messy.”

Zhou Qinhe, who had been very calm the entire time, twitched his lips suddenly. “What did you just say?”

“No, nothing. I am just rambling.” Yan Shuyu shook her head quickly. Looking at the check in the boss’s hand, she asked cautiously, “Now that we have it all sorted out, em… can I please have it back?”

“Have it back?” asked Zhou Qinhe with a nonchalant look. “Are you telling me that you intend to carry out your promises?”

As much as Yan Shuyu was intimidated by him, the thought of the 2 million yuan that was almost hers finally helped her make up her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, “But she was so sincere. It’d be wrong not to ….”

Before she was even done talking, Zhou Qinhe suddenly got up and walked behind her. He placed his hands onto her chair and leaned into her.

Yan Shuyu felt a strong pressure coming at her before she heard the boss’s emotionless words next to her ear, “Then why were you looking for me?”

“To…” Before she could finish saying “give you a heads up”, Yan Shuyu noticed that the boss’s face was leaning in closer and closer to her. Feeling the threat coming from him all of a sudden, she quickly changed her tune. “To discuss with you about it!”

Her choice turned out to be the right decision. As soon as she finished saying that, the pressure that was coming down on her from above was lifted all of a sudden. She could see lights in front of her again.

The boss went back to his seat and toyed with the check in his hand. Chuckling, he said, “If that’s the case, then my opinion is to…”

Yan Shuyu held her breath nervously. That’s when she heard the boss say in a relaxed tone, “Give it back.”

Yan Shuyu saw nothing but darkness in front of her all of a sudden.

Yan Shuyu had pictured many scenarios before this meeting. She thought that Zhou Qinhe might be infuriated; he might be disgruntled; or, the most likely scenario, finally saw through how much of a gold digger she truly was and walked out on her. The only scenario that she had never pictured was him telling her to return the check without blinking.

And now he was asking her to return a check for 2 million yuan? He couldn’t do that to her. Summoning up all of her courage, she asked, “What if I do not accept your suggestion?”

Even so, Zhou Qinhe showed no intention in handing the check back over to her. He enunciated one word at a time. “Then get ready to return this to her in person.”

In person? Yan Shuyu recalled how haughty the rich woman was when she discussed the deal with her. If she was to tell her in person that she was returning the check and calling off the deal, she worried that the angry rich woman just might tear her apart on the spot.

Yan Shuyu shuddered from fear and shook her head reflexively.

Zhou Qinhe took her head shaking as her response, put away the check, and stood up. “Let’s go.”

Even though Boss Zhou didn’t say anything and his expression didn’t change much, it was obvious from his motions that Yan Shuyu had finally successfully angered him. Zhou Qinhe, who had always been the perfect gentleman, didn’t even ask Yan Shuyu if she was done eating before he started walking away briskly.

Yan Shuyu, like a wife who had been wronged, had no choice but to follow behind him in small steps, clutching onto her purse and not daring to say another word.

It wasn’t Yan Shuyu’s plan to be so docile – wouldn’t it be safer and nicer if the boss had stormed off and she could take the subway home by herself?

Unfortunately, she had barely stalled for a few seconds before she looked up and saw the boss standing by the door looking at her with a let-me-quietly-watch-and-see-what-other-stunts-are-you-going-to-pull look. Startled, Yan Shuyu quickly caught up to the boss and dared not try anything else.

Just like that, Yan Shuyu was sitting inside of the boss’s car in no time.
