chapter 24 Qin An

S Country, the beach.
Renowned China singer and actor, Andy Qin, was doing a magazine photoshoot.
In front of the camera, this 20-year-old youth was dressed in a black shirt, with all the buttons undone except for the three at the bottom.
His milky-white skin extended downwards, revealing subtle hints of abdominal muscles, almost like a hidden mermaid line.
Some of the onlookers among the crew couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Heh."
Upon hearing a light laugh, several crew members hurriedly looked up, intending to apologize to Andy Qin. But as they raised their heads, they found themselves gazing into a pair of affectionate amorous eyes.
Those were eyes filled with emotions, with wide eyelids and a faint rosy blush at the corners, and the black pupils shimmered like rippling water, brimming with endless affection.
Even though one knew it was an illusion, it was hard not to get lost in them.
The crew members blushed discreetly.
Just then, when Andy Qin should have been focused on the shoot, he blew a few kisses to them.
"Ah!"
"Loius Liu fainted!"
"Quick, someone come!"
"Did he get heatstroke? Why is her face so red?"
It was chaos.
More than ten minutes later, the chaos finally subsided, and the photoshoot continued.
Half an hour later, the photoshoot was completed.
"Alright, well done, everyone!"
"Brother Andy, you did great this time!"
While Andy Qin greeted everyone with a smiling gaze, he walked toward his assistant.
During the photoshoot, he noticed that his assistant seemed anxious after answering a phone call.
"What happened?"
The assistant glanced around to make sure no one was listening and then whispered, "The CEO of Ding Feng wants to meet you."
A trace of coldness flickered in Andy Qin's amorous eyes but quickly disappeared.
"Are you talking about Ding Feng, the famous luxury brand from S Country?"
The assistant said, "Yes, yes, that's right. The CEO is surnamed Yang, and also a China native. It seems she's interested in having you endorse their limited edition spring perfume."
"If I remember correctly," Andy Qin casually buttoned up a few buttons on his shirt and seemed to smile nonchalantly, "the CEO of Ding Feng is a woman."
The assistant said, "Uh, yes. Lucy Liu hopes you can secure this endorsement."
"Heh."
The private lives of entrepreneurs usually didn't have a significant impact on their companies' stock.
Sometimes, a bit of scandal could even bring publicity to the company.
After the news of Yeziel Rei having an older illegitimate son, who was even older than the original heir Dylan Rei, was exposed, Yeziel Rei's wife cried bitterly for a long time.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't had those nightmares, he wouldn't have been so filial and worried about me."
Yeziel Rei's wife was a gentle and graceful woman, not exceptionally attractive in appearance, but she was entirely devoted to Yeziel Rei. Even though she was once just an illicit lover, she never complained.
As a result, she stood out among Yeziel Rei's many lovers and became his wife.
Seeing his wife crying so pitifully, Yeziel Rei felt even more pity for her and quickly pulled her into his arms.
"Don't cry. This doesn't have much impact on me. It's good to expose it early."
The man who had married into the family sneered, "I just want certain people to see that I have more than one successor!"
Where Yeziel Rei couldn't see, Yeziel Rei's wife revealed a smug smile.
This sense of accomplishment lasted for less than half an hour. Yeziel Rei's secretary called him.
"What?"
Yeziel Rei pushed the woman in his arms away.
"How could this happen?"
The man, who had been originally gentle and refined, now had a ferocious expression and directly threw the teacup in his hand.
"Crash!"
The shattered porcelain scattered everywhere, and it almost grazed Ms. Rei's ankle.
Ms. Rei said, "What happened?"
Yeziel Rei's expression remained calm.
"Who exposed this in the first place?"
Ms. Rei asked cautiously and learned that someone had revealed Yeziel Rei's background, detailing how he gained the favor of the Yang family's daughter, entered the family as a son-in-law, and eventually took over the Yang family's company after the death of Mr. Yang.
This all happened when Yann Yang disappeared and was presumed dead, only for Yeziel Rei to marry a new wife.
"Do they know that Gordon is my child?"
Ms. Rei turned pale.
While some scandal could bring attention, if it was connected to terms like "phoenix man," "plotting with a lover against the wife's property," or "kidnapping the wife's suspect," it wouldn't just be attention—it would be a bombshell.
Yeziel Rei didn't have time to console his wife; he went straight to the company.
As expected, the board of directors was not pleased with him.
"Dylan is already twenty years old; let him intern at the company."
An experienced director suggested.
"After all, this company originally belonged to his grandfather."
Yeziel Rei silenced, "..."
At a fast food restaurant.
Lila Qin was enjoying her meal.
"Wow, the chicken legs here are so delicious!"
With a chicken leg in each hand, she took a bite from one while her cheeks puffed up. Occasionally, she extended her round head and took a sip of soda.
"Wow!"
Her moist eyes smiled until they were mere slits.
Lila Qin was sitting on a tall stool, and her chubby legs were swinging joyfully.
"Lila is so happy! Lila gives a thumbs-up to Brother Dylan Rei~"
Dylan Rei smiled reluctantly.
The little kid immediately offered her chicken leg.
"Brother Dylan, eating a chicken leg will make you happy!"
Watching the chicken leg covered in drool, Dylan Rei silently took a whole one.
"Thanks, Master Lila," he said and was about to bring the chicken leg to his mouth.
"Stare~"
Dylan Rei was about to touch his lips with the chicken leg.
"Stare~"
Dylan Rei chuckled awkwardly and had to put the chicken leg back.
"Master Lila, I'm not hungry. You can have it," he said.
Lila Qin then lowered her gaze and raised her thumbs, saying, "Brother Dylan, you're so nice."
"Heh, heh," Dylan Rei chuckled.
After filling their stomachs, Lila Qin patted her round belly contentedly.
"You said that bad guy hasn't been bothering you lately, so why are you still unhappy?"
Dylan Rei pursed his lips.
After a while, he said, "I'm worried about my mother."
"Don't worry," Lila said confidently, waving her hand. "As long as you're okay, your mother will be fine. You'll see her soon!"
Dylan Rei was still worried.
His so-called father was like a huge mountain weighing on him ever since he found out the truth.
He was no longer an ignorant child. Now, they were using public opinion to try to bring down Yeziel Rei, but they couldn't completely topple him unless they found more powerful evidence.
"Oh no!"
A chubby little hand slapped Dylan Rei's arm.
At that moment, Dylan Rei felt like his arm was going to break.
He clutched his arm, looking shocked at Lila Qin.
Lila Qin was oblivious.
"Lila's big brother is helping too! He's really amazing and will definitely find a way to deal with that bad guy soon."
[Divine Calculation System: I'm also investigating. My computer skills far surpass all humans.]
Just then, Lila Qin suddenly shouted, "Big Brother, Lila is here!"
At the same time, Lila Qin also replied to the Divine Calculation System in her mind.
"But Big Brother came to find Lila, which proves that Big Brother's speed is faster. Little System, you can't do that," she said.
