Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Gratitude and Reward_1
Although Qian Wenbin didn’t speak, he didn’t imdiately oppose either.
Chen Momo sensed the golden opportunity and continued to persuade, “Only if I stay in the Bo family can you benefit continuously, otherwise, both of us may end with total loss.”
Qian Wenbin didn’t really intend to expose her, he only did this to compel her to pay.
Now that he saw her so frightened and willing to pay, he was sowhat satisfied.
“I can give you ti to assemble money. However, half a month is too long. I can only give you a week at best. If you don’t pay , I won’t benefit either, we might as well perish together.”
All Chen Momo wanted now was to send him away, “Fine, one week is one week. I will contact you once I’ve gathered enough money.”
Qian Wenbin finally left satisfied.
When the Bo family’s old man returned from morning exercises, he happened to pass by Qian Wenbin and gave him a second glance.
The old house was relatively secluded, the only ones seen were family mbers and visiting guests, hardly any new faces.
Now that a stranger suddenly appeared, he felt rather curious.
Soon, from the sa direction the young man had co, another person was seen.
It was Chen Momo!
The Bo family old man instantly understood that the man he t just now must be a friend of Chen Momo.
He did not dwell on it, after all, everyone had friends of the opposite sex, and he wasn’t a dinosaur.
So, the senior Bo family mber cast this aside.
…
While Chen Momo was actively raising funds, selling houses and cars,
Xia Qingtian suddenly received a call from the private investigator. He reported that he had inspected everyone that had contacted Chen Momo during this period.
Feeling a bit bored at ho and considering the complexity of the matter, she decided to et the private investigator.
When she arrived at the restaurant, the private investigator was already waiting for her.
Xia Qingtian ordered a glass of plain water, sat down across him and straightforwardly asked, “Alright, tell
what you’ve found.”
The private investigator didn’t withhold any information and told her that Chen Momo’s social circle was quite simple. Besides the mbers of the Bo family, the remaining contacts were just Shen Yaxuan and a gigolo.
Xia Qingtian knew Shen Yaxuan, and understood the cooperation between the two, so there was nothing else to say about it.
However, that gigolo…
It was intriguing. Wasn’t Chen Momo madly in love with Bo Jingyan?
Why would she have intimate connections with a gigolo?
After the private investigator finished speaking, he passed over a photo of the gigolo.
Xia Qingtian took a look and found him familiar, resembling the man from the restaurant compartnt who had been shielded by Chen Momo that ti.
Then, the private investigator handed over so banking receipts to Xia Qingtian, telling her that these were the funds Chen Momo had transferred to the gigolo.
Xia Qingtian glanced and found that the amounts were not small at all.
What is Chen Momo trying to pull off?
She had an intuition that there was so secret the gigolo was hiding. She had to figure it out.
With that thought in mind, Xia Qingtian got the gigolo’s contact details and ho address from the private investigator, intending to visit and inquiry.
Even if the gigolo wouldn’t provide her any information, she could at least do so digging around.
The private investigator let out a chuckle, revealing that the gigolo had already quit his previous job, moved house, and changed his contact details, hence his current whereabouts had yet to be updated.
If Xia Qingtian wanted to establish contact with the gigolo, she had to provide him with a few more days to investigate.
Xia Qingtian knew the importance of patience. All she said was, “Then if you get the gigolo’s current contact information, rember to send it to
imdiately.”
“Understood.” The private investigator agreed.
With other matters to attend to, he left first.
Xia Qingtian packed up her belongings, intending to leave as well. As she abruptly stood up, she collided with the person behind her and nearly fell over.
“Watch out!”
Fortunately, soone quickly grabbed her arm, pulled her back, and steadied her.
“Are you okay?” Soone asked anxiously.
She was about to respond when she noticed sothing familiar about the voice ——
Senior Gu Jinchen’s!
Xia Qingtian imdiately looked up and found it was indeed Gu Jinchen.
“Senior…” Xia Qingtian was delighted to see him, a smile burst onto her face, “What brings you here?”
Gu Jinchuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she was fine, then replied, “I was eting a client here, heading back to the company now that the eting finished.”
Xia Qingtian checked the ti and noticed it was noon.
She imdiately said, “Senior, it’s lunchti. You have to eat when you get back to the office, so how about joining ?”
Gu Jinchen was not able to refuse her sincere invitation.
Together, they went to a fancy restaurant nearby.
After sitting down, Xia Qingtian took the nu and ordered a few dishes Gu Jinchen liked.
The food was served quickly.
Xia Qingtian poured a glass of juice for herself, then stood facing Gu Jinchuan, saying seriously, “Senior, I didn’t formally thank you for the DNA paternity test.”
“Since I can’t drink alcohol due to my pregnancy, I’ll use this juice to toast you twice. After the child is born, I’ll toast you three more tis.”
Having said this, she didn’t wait for Gu Jinchuan to react. She boldly drained the glass. Then, as if on autopilot, she poured another two glasses.
Seeing this, Gu Jinchen didn’t try to stop her.
He knew if Xia Qingtian didn’t express her gratitude fully, she would keep it bottled inside her heart.
It was only after Xia Qingtian finished downing her juice that he laughed, “You don’t need to be that formal. It was a piece of cake for .”
“Regardless of whether it was a piece of cake to you, it was a huge favor for . If it weren’t for you, I’d still be in the dark, like a fool.” Xia Qingtian grinned bitterly.
Gu Jinchen handed her a shrimp while casually saying,
“It’s fine as long as the result is good. Right now, young master Bo and Shen Yaxuan have fallen out, and many collaborations between the two families have halted. This has had quite an impact on the entire business world.”
“What?” Xia Qingtian paused, “Did Shen Yaxuan and Bo Jingyan have a fallout? But I haven’t said anything yet.”
Gu Jinchen also froze, sowhat in disbelief, “You haven’t said anything yet? But that DNA paternity test result, didn’t I-”
“What DNA paternity test result?”
His words were cut short by a sharp, cold voice coming from behind.
As Gu Jinchen looked up, he realized it was none other than Bo Jingyan who had interrupted him!
