Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Losing The Chip_1 Chapter 269: Chapter 269 Losing The Chip_1 This time, with ample preparation, Xia Qingtian successfully captured Qian Wenbin.

“Mr. Qian, it was quite difficult to track you down,” she chuckled as she looked at the man lying on the ground, tightly bound.

Qian Wenbin had gotten word from Chen Momo earlier, knowing the woman only decided to look for him by herself without alerting the old Mr. Bo and Young Mr. Bo. His stress decreased significantly.

So, he willingly yielded to his restless emotions and went out for a night out.

Unexpectedly, he was caught just like that.

At this moment, facing Xia Qingtian, he was rather confident.

“Why are you looking for me? Is it because I owe some womanising debts?” Qian Wenbin asked, feigning ignorance.

Xia Qingtian didn’t indulge him and got straight to the point. “No need to play dumb with me. If you didn’t know who I was, you wouldn’t have run at the sight of me.”

She approached Qian Wenbin, gazing indifferently at him, “What’s your relationship with Chen Momo? Why did she give you so much money?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Qian Wenbin played dumb.

Xia Qingtian crouched down gently and spoke in a soft voice.

“Since you claim you don’t know me, I’ll introduce myself. I’m Xia Qingtian, the wife of Bo Jingyan, and the first lady of the Bo Group. The money Chen Momo has belongs to my husband, which is our marital property.”

A look of confusion crossed Qian Wenbin’s eyes. “What do you mean?”

She went to such great lengths to catch him just to tell him these incomprehensible words?

“I mean that if I want to, even if she transfers the money to you, I can retrieve it through legal means,” Xia Qingtian made it clear. “Then you won’t get a penny and you’ll even have to give back what you’ve spent.”

Qian Wenbin’s face turned ugly at once.

He had already spent a lot of the money Chen Momo gave him. Where was he supposed to return it from?

Xia Qingtian chuckled slightly, giving him a stick first, then a carrot.

“As long as you cooperate with me and tell me everything about Chen Momo, the money she gave you is all yours. I can let bygones be bygones and let you live a carefree life with that money.”

Qian Wenbin remained silent.

Xia Qingtian saw that and was not angry.

“Of course, if you don’t want to talk, that’s fine too. Whatever kind of dealings between you two that makes it worth more than a billion to her, I’ll find it out eventually,” she threatened and enticed Qian Wenbin.

“But by then, the terms won’t be as good as now. You won’t get a single penny, you’ll have to give back the money you’ve spent, and you may even face retaliation from the Bo Family.”

“I think any smart person knows how to choose, right?”

Qian Wenbin had to admit, what she said was very enticing.

As long as his brain wasn’t broken, anyone would choose to cooperate with her, but…

Compared to the entire Bo Group, other conditions seemed trivial. He was willing to take that gamble.

“Mrs Bo, I seriously don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Qian Wenbin insisted on his original stance.

Xia Qingtian could see that he truly had no plans of talking.

However, the more Qian Wenbin refused to speak, the more curious she was. How big of a secret do they have that they wouldn’t disclose, even in the face of such threats and enticements?

She was going to find out!

Although Qian Wenbin refused to say anything, Xia Qingtian didn’t order her bodyguards to let him go. Instead, she had him locked up. They did not give him food, but just a few bottles of water each day, so that he wouldn’t die.

After handling this matter, Xia Qingtian was about to go home when suddenly…

She got a call from Bo Jingyan, who said that the patriarch had invited them to dinner at home. He asked for her location so he could pick her up, so they could return to the mansion together.

She gave him her location.

Before long, Bo Jingyan arrived, and they both returned to the mansion together.

The patriarch had recently hired a new chef and had invited them to taste the chef’s culinary skills.

The chef was incredibly good.

They were halfway through the meal, and suddenly…

“Ah…” Xia Qingtian cried out.

The patriarch and Bo Jingyan were both frightened.

The patriarch looked at her with concern, “Qingqing, what’s wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?”

“Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to you.” Bo Jingyan spoke before attempting to carry her to the hospital.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but find this whole situation a bit amusing, feeling a sense of warmth in her heart.

“Grandpa, Jingyan, you guys shouldn’t be so nervous…” she quickly clarified, “I cried out earlier because the baby in me just kicked me. It startled me.”

The baby had been in her belly for quite a while, but this was the first time she felt its movements so clearly.

The patriarch’s eyes lit up at her words.

He asked in disbelief, “Really? My great-grandchild moved?”

As if the baby heard him, as soon as his words fell, the child kicked Xia Qingtian again. Even with the clothes as a barrier, they could see her belly bulge.

“Grandpa, the baby kicked me again.” Xia Qingtian sounded like she just discovered a new world, her voice filled with surprise. “Did you see that? Did you?”

“I saw it.” The patriarch nodded.

He leaned closer to Xia Qingtian, his face filled with anticipation. “Qingqing, can I touch your belly and say hello to my good great-grandchild?”

“Of course, you can.” Not only did Xia Qingtian agree, but she also guided the patriarch’s hand to rest on her belly.

The patriarch’s old face was filled with love, his voice was inconceivably gentle as if he was afraid of frightening the baby, “Good great-grandchild, I’m your great-grandpa, you know?”

As soon as his sentence ended, the baby kicked again, hitting right on his hand.

“My good grandchild heard me talking and even responded.” The patriarch was ecstatic and could hardly keep his composure.

Following that, he had no appetite for food. He spent the rest of the time interacting with the baby in her belly.

He also didn’t forget about the child’s real father, Bo Jingyan. “Jingyan, the baby is really too cute. You come and say hello too.”

Bo Jingyan was uneasy. He couldn’t forget that this child carried Shen Yaxuan’s blood, so he felt somewhat irritated.

However, seeing the patriarch and Xia Qingtian so happy, he didn’t want to dampen their mood.

“I just remembered, I have a video conference to attend.” He made up an excuse and hurriedly left the dining room.

Although he had disguised his feelings, he couldn’t fool the patriarch, who had watched him grow up.

The patriarch furrowed his eyebrows, why would he be so cold towards his own flesh and blood?

Could it be that Xia Qingtian still hadn’t told him that the child in her belly wasn’t any illegitimate child, but his real child?

“Qingqing, has Jingyan not been told about the child in your belly yet?”
