37: Reversal or Entering the Game

Tsukimi Rin smiled knowingly, “But you don’t have evidence, do you?”

“Yeah.” Qiu Shi was extremely distressed.

Tsukimi Rin lightly kissed the corner of Qiu Shi’s mouth, which smelled of tobacco: “I do. I’ll be your notary.”

Tsukimi Rin was also there that night.

That’s right.

Qiu Shi seemed to see hope, even if it was just a notary, but perhaps she could use that, along with those unequal contracts, to accuse Qiu Ci.

But Tsukimi Rin had a simpler method: “Because of my profession, I always carry a recording pen when faced with these situations.”

Qiu Shi’s eyes widened in shock: “You have a recording!”

“Yes!” Tsukimi Rin took out the recording pen she carried with her from her pocket. The recording pen was of good quality, a name brand.

The two listened to it once. When Qiu Shi heard Louis’s voice again, she couldn’t help but tear up: “I’m sorry, is my crying point too low?”

“No, I like it this way. It makes me feel that you are real, that you can be sad, jealous, and crazy.” Tsukimi Rin comforted her lover.

Qiu Shi sent this recording to the email addresses of those so-called notaries. As expected, the next day, many of them came to visit.

First, to offer condolences, and second, to offer help to Miss Ai La in appealing to reclaim her inheritance.

Qiu Ci also received a copy.

Along with a message from Qiu Shi: “Qiu Ci, are you done playing?”

With the help of several elders, Qiu Shi quickly transferred those shares to her own name and also gained the highest decision-making power of CW Enterprise/Global Wealth.

The contracts that Qiu Ci had drastically modified some time ago were found. Although many people were dissatisfied, they didn’t dare to say anything.

Except for one thing that hadn’t been found.

The Tsukimi family’s contract hadn’t been found yet, and Qiu Shi urged her.

…

Tsukimi Rin arrived at the park designated by Qiu Ci. She had received a message from Qiu Ci several hours earlier.

The content was a location.

Recently, Qiu Ci’s affairs had been too mysterious, a far cry from those months he spent in France, with a sense of unreality.

Tsukimi Rin finally decided to go there.

Qiu Ci was wearing a long trench coat and stood by the lake, clumsily feeding water birds with bread crumbs in his left hand.

Tsukimi Rin tentatively called out, “Qiu Ci?”

Qiu Ci scattered all the bread crumbs in his hand and turned around: “Miss Tsukimi.”

“I’m sorry, did I keep you waiting?”

“It’s okay, I was going to come out for a walk anyway.” Qiu Ci tidied up the backpack containing the bread crumbs.

The two strolled on the pebbles: “Miss Tsukimi, I knew you had a recording pen with you that day in the ward.”

Tsukimi Rin knew it was because of this matter and wasn’t too surprised: “It’s a professional habit. You don’t know how many of these inheritance disputes I’ve handled, needing to investigate the deceased’s last wishes.”

“I understand. I should have told you about this some time ago, but I was very busy during that time. Take a look.” Qiu Ci took out a few sheets of A4 paper from his bag. It was the contract that Tsukimi Rin’s father signed with Qiu Shi.

Tsukimi Rin took it and suspiciously read it bit by bit.

It was indeed a merger. At the time, it was said that her father would still be responsible after the merger.

But what was actually written on the contract was that if her father wanted to continue working at his own company, he would need to pay funds far exceeding the debt.

This was not reasonable.

This was forcing her father to give up his industry of many years and withdraw from the financial circle.

“During the year we were separated, my sister refused to accept your breakup. Originally, I was gradually relieved after seeing her in a relationship, but when I knew she had returned to your side, I felt strange.” Qiu Ci explained about that year.

Tsukimi Rin’s expression gradually became serious.

“Now, my sister really controls the entire East Asian circle. Maybe you don’t quite understand the position of your family. With this contract, even if I can’t get the inheritance, my sister has a way to force me to let go.” Qiu Ci sighed: “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you in the end.”

Tsukimi Rin narrowed her eyes: “Do you think I’ll still believe you? Qiu Ci, you’ve already lied to me twice. All the sympathy has been used up, right?”

Although Qiu Ci didn’t show anything on the surface: “Do you think I’m lying to you? If I’m lying to you, then you’re too pathetic.” Qiu Ci took back the contract: “In order to gain a foothold in China, Qiu Shi will get engaged to Qin Yishan. So, what’s wrong with dating you to help your father’s company?”

“Playing mind games? I’ve known Qiu Shi since I was seventeen. Did she know what my father did back then? Reality isn’t a novel plot, Qiu Ci. As long as you behave yourself, everyone will save a lot of trouble.”

Qiu Ci looked at her mockingly: “You think you and her are so special? She just needs someone to be by her side. As for whether that person is male or female, old or young, it doesn’t matter. It would be even better if they could bring her benefits.”

Tsukimi Rin immediately thought of that Chinese high school student. She had admitted that the two of them had been together.

“Miss Tsukimi, you may not know, when she went back to find you, it was because she had a fight with her boyfriend. The reason was—her boyfriend believed that Qiu Shi never made their relationship public and would never introduce him to the people around her, and then they had a fight.”

What happened after that? Did she miss the years when Tsukimi Rin swallowed her anger? After all, the ex-girlfriend’s generous personality couldn’t be matched by the current one.

Tsukimi Rin’s fingers gradually tightened into a fist, her nails digging into her flesh.

That confession wasn’t because of love, it was because she didn’t want to leave.

This idea sprouted quickly like a seed, breaking through the fragile emotions that had been painstakingly built.

She was absent-minded all evening until Qiu Shi called and told her that she had booked a restaurant outside tonight.

Qiu Shi had been doing well recently, and her mood had improved. She chose a comfortable restaurant.

The waiter was a young Asian girl. When she saw that Qiu Shi was of Asian descent, she greeted her in Korean.

Qiu Shi smiled: “Sorry, we’re from China.”

“I’m…sorry.” The girl responded in broken Chinese.

“It’s okay, this kind of strange thing happens to me often.” Qiu Shi smiled and took out some change from her pocket: “Tip.”

The girl blushed nervously: “Thank you, what would you like to eat?”

“I don’t come here often, do you have any recommendations?”

The girl’s face turned even redder: “I’m sorry, ma’am, I’m a student working here and haven’t tried it, but other guests often order foie gras and beef with red wine.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s our job.”

After the girl left, Qiu Shi looked up and found Tsukimi Rin standing at the door, watching for who knows how long.

Qiu Shi quickly waved her over: “I’ve been waiting for you, baby.”

“Didn’t seem that anxious.” As soon as Tsukimi Rin came in, she saw her talking to an Asian girl in a friendly manner, and the jealousy grew stronger.

Qiu Shi hadn’t yet noticed the problem with Tsukimi Rin’s attitude: “We’re just going on a casual date, why be so anxious? Come, let’s celebrate our upcoming return home. This time, we can stay in China for a long time.”

Tsukimi Rin didn’t feel very happy: “Yeah, we’re finally getting to the stability you talked about.”
