Chapter 93: I’ll Give You Five Million, Leave My Son
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Qingyue had been busy for several days, shuttling back and forth between the company and the hospital. Finally, when she finished handling the company’s matters, she could finally catch her breath for a while.
Chen Ying noticed that she had not been eating properly these past few days, so when she had some free time, she took Shen Qingyue out to have a good meal.
Shen Qingyue did not refuse her sister’s kind invitation. The two of them went to a restaurant where Chen Ying had made a reservation in advance.
In this restaurant, each table was separated by screens, allowing them to hear nearby conversations while remaining unseen. It was quite an interesting setup.
As Shen Qingyue sat down with Chen Ying, she heard a familiar voice coming from the next table.
“Wei Jiu’er, I’ll give you five million to leave my son!”
Chen Ying recognized the voice as Madam Qin’s and whispered, “So, you don’t like Wei Jiu’er either? I thought she was only bitter towards you, but it seems she’s like this with her daughter-in-law too. Is she out of her mind?”
Shen Qingyue ordered the dishes and looked helplessly at Chen Ying. “Let’s focus on what to eat and not bother with gossip.”
The next table fell silent for a while before Wei Jiu’er’s soft voice spoke again, “Aunt Qin, you know, I’m with Qin Zhen not for his money. We’ve been together for so long, why are you suddenly like this?”
Shen Qingyue thought she had already placated the old hag, but it seemed she was up to something today. Nevertheless, this might be an opportunity. Shen Qingyue felt that Qin Zhen no longer trusted her like before, and she had to take some drastic action.
“Not for money? Do you think it’s not enough? No matter how much money I give you, you can’t compare to Qin Zhen’s wife. Wei Jiu’er, I’ve seen your type before. Your little tricks don’t work on me. I’m not Qin Zhen,” sneered Madam Qin. She used to find Wei Jiu’er amusing, like a well-behaved and obedient pet, but now that this pet wanted to rebel and covet what didn’t belong to her, it was unacceptable.
Madam Qin had recently introduced Qin Zhen to a wealthy young lady. Although her family background couldn’t match the Shens, she was on a completely different level compared to Wei Jiu’er, who was from an ordinary background. Madam Qin had already arranged a meeting with the other family and planned to let the two children get acquainted.
Wei Jiu’er had to be dealt with. Madam Qin did not mind if Qin Zhen kept a mistress outside, but that mistress shouldn’t come dancing into their lives. Especially if that mistress would eventually take the position of the Qin family’s main wife, which would reveal to everyone that Qin Zhen had cheated while he was married. Their family’s reputation would be completely ruined.
“You’ve misunderstood me, Aunt Qin.” Wei Jiu’er sounded a bit aggrieved, adding a hint of crying in her voice. “Qin Zhen and I have been together since college. If it weren’t for the family’s interests, Qin Zhen wouldn’t have let me go. Now that the Qin family is stable, Qin Zhen and I truly love each other. Why do you want to break us apart?”
Madam Qin’s tone was mocking. “You say you truly love each other? Who told you that? Where do you get such confidence? No, someone like you knows very well that Qin Zhen doesn’t love you purely. His feelings for you are mixed with other things. I know my son.”
Hearing this, Wei Jiu’er’s hands clenched slightly, feeling anxious but not showing it. “Qin Zhen is just not good with words.”
“No, it’s because Qin Zhen simply doesn’t love you. His feelings for you are not genuine; they are tainted with something else. I know my son,” Madam Qin repeated coldly.
Inwardly cursing the old hag, Wei Jiu’er maintained her soft and gentle facade. “Aunt Qin, you’re not Qin Zhen. You don’t understand his thoughts. In my eyes, he truly loves me.”
“I don’t understand him? Let me tell you, in this world, I may not understand everyone, but I understand my son. During his marriage with Shen Qingyue, he appeared cold to her on the surface, but his eyes still held affection. He couldn’t let go because of his pride and couldn’t face it. Now that the divorce has happened, those feelings have grown stronger. You can’t fathom his mind, or are you pretending not to? After all, if you really didn’t understand, why would you pick a fight with Shen Qingyue?” Madam Qin coldly laughed..
