Chapter 13
Qin Zhen nodded. “…Yes.”
Just heard a loud bang, the sound of a cup hitting the table. Madam Qin’s expression remained unchanged: “You’ve already married Shen Qingyue, how can you still be intimate with other women? You’re an adult now, not an indecisive child! Do you think you’re playing house? ”
Qin Zhen lowered his gaze. These words, he only dared to say in front of his mother. “But I love Jiu’er, I can’t forget her.”
Madam Qin snorted coldly, “What about Shen Qingyue? What about your so-called liking?”
Qin Zhen wanted to say that he did not like her at all. But when the words reached his lips, he hesitated. He could not figure it out even after all these days. Shen Qingyue had initiated the divorce, which he should have anticipated, but he did not want to agree. He could not understand if it was due to possessiveness? Pride? Or something else?
Madam Qin stood up, “Qin Zhen, you should remember how our family fell apart. If your father hadn’t found another woman, it wouldn’t have been just the two of us left in the Qin family. I hope you haven’t forgotten how we held onto what was ours! You’re the President of the Qin Group, and now you’re talking to me about love? It’s the least valuable thing, and an ambitious man should not be swayed by emotions.”
“Your father was unfaithful, with illegitimate children everywhere. Don’t forget the days of humiliation in the past. I disagree with your divorce from Shen Qingyue. Tonight, you will accompany me to the Shen family and bring back Shen Qingyue! As for Wei Jiu’er, don’t contact her for now! The Qin family should never have another illegitimate child, something that can’t be shown in public!”
Qin Zhen remained silent. Every word from his mother left him at a loss.
Madam Qin asked again, “Did you hear me clearly?”
Qin Zhen did not reply. He really could not bring himself to bring Shen Qingyue back. He would rather choose to divorce her.
Madam Qin angrily said, “If you don’t go, don’t call me your mother! Let me tell you, I will never accept a grandchild who is an illegitimate child in my lifetime! If you still want to chase after love, then go ahead, and I will consider myself childless.”
Madam Qin had begun to threaten. Even though the original Madam Qin came from a scholarly family, she had been disgusted by Father Qin’s actions her entire life. Even if she did not like Shen Qingyue, she absolutely did not want to see her son follow his father’s path!
Qin Zhen opened his mouth but did not say anything. After a while, he reluctantly nodded.
…
Shen Qingyue had cooked countless meals for Qin Zhen, but she rarely cooked for Shen Jun. Today, on a whim, she made a table full of dishes.
The Old Master felt sorry for her when he saw her busy. He watched her the entire time and waited for his granddaughter to cry out that she was tired. He went up to help, mainly because he was afraid of bumping into her. It was just that in the end, when the dishes were served, Shen Qingyue did not give him this opportunity.
Shen Qingyue pulled Shen Jun to the dining table and sat down, “Grandpa, try it.”
“Good, good. It looks delicious!” Shen Jun’s face was full of smiles. He hadn’t even tasted it yet, but he praised it in advance. Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, a maid entered the room.
“Sir, Madam Qin and Mr. Qin are here for a visit. Should I let them in?”
The smile instantly vanished from Shen Jun’s face. He snorted and said, “Let them go. Qin Zhen is about to divorce my granddaughter. What are they doing here? Are they here to make trouble? I didn’t go looking for him, but he dares to come here.”
However, Shen Qingyue said, “Let them in.”
Shen Jun looked at his granddaughter unhappily. “Don’t tell me you can’t bear to part with it again?”
Shen Qingyue smiled and said, “Grandpa, no matter how much you hate others, you still have to have basic social etiquette. This is what you taught me.”
Shen Jun snorted again and did not stop her.
Shen Qingyue sat down beside Shen Jun and then took out her phone to send a text message to Wei Jiu’er.
Madam Qin brought a lot of gifts over. “Old Master Shen, this is a small gift.”
“No need. I can’t afford the gifts from your Qin family. I’m afraid it would shorten my life,” Shen Jun hummed from his nose.
Madam Qin did not feel embarrassed and put the gifts aside. She pulled Qin Zhen and sat down. After some casual small talk, they got to the point, “Qingyue, Qin Zhen and I came here tonight specifically to bring you back home. Pack your things and stop causing trouble.”
Madam Qin had always referred to Shen Qingyue by her full name, but today was the first time she called her so intimately.
Shen Qingyue raised an eyebrow. “Madam Qin, does this mean you know about my plan to divorce Qin Zhen?”
