It was also from that moment that Zhai Yaohui started to keep a distance from herself and didn’t want to see her again. The way he protected Miao Jing was as if protecting a national treasure. Anyone would feel jealous upon seeing that.
Qi Minlan, who was once invincible in front of Zhai Yaohui, could no longer say anything in front of him today, let alone be qualified to intercede for her cheating daughter on account of the relationship they had back then.
“Hah.” Qiu Qin laughed coldly. He knew about the past his wife had with Zhai Yaohui, and he didn’t mind it at all. They had been married for so many years, but it was only recently that Qiu Qin knew how bold Qi Minlan was when she was young. On the surface, she and Zhai Yaohui were already publicly recognized as a couple. In private, she dared to date other boys behind Zhai Yaohui’s back.
Qiu Qin wouldn’t be jealous of this. Anyway, it was enough that Qi Minlan was clean when she married him. Furthermore, he was willing to marry Qi Minlan not because of the little past she had with Zhai Yaohui before.
Everything was the same as what he had originally planned. His only mistake was that he didn’t teach his daughter, Qiu Chenxi, well. His daughter became as promiscuous as Qiu Chenxi, thus wasting all his efforts.
Qi Minlan pushed Qiu Qin angrily. “Our daughter became like this and you’re still laughing. Why are you laughing? Hurry up and figure out how our daughter can remarry Zhai Sheng. How long more can we accompany our daughter? Her future happiness depends on whether she can remarry Zhai Sheng.”
This man was a little clever but wasn’t charming. What she looked down on the most were his power and influence. He treated the mother-daughter pair well as they were beneficial to his development in the future. Qi Minlan couldn’t help but regret that when she was younger, even if she didn’t marry Zhai Yaohui, she should have opened her eyes wide and not casually married a selfish villain like Qiu Qin.
“Think of a way? What can I think of?” Qiu Qin had already given in. He was already retired, thus he had long stopped hoping for being able to get some benefits from his daughter, Qiu Chenxi. “Use your brain and think. Yes, Zhai Sheng is already in his forties. The problem is that even if he is in his fifties or sixties, he can still get a woman pregnant, let alone him in his forties. Don’t forget that Zhai Sheng doesn’t have children yet! Conversely, she’s in her forties as well. Can she get pregnant? I dare not ask if she can do so in her fifties or sixties. If Zhai Sheng were to remarry, do you think it’s to find a partner or a woman to give birth to a child to?”
They were both men. In the face of a woman who made a cuckold out of him, if she couldn’t even give birth to a child for him, why should they talk about remarriage? Furthermore, Zhai Sheng’s conditions were good. Why would he choose to suffer and stay with such a woman again? Was he a fool?
“People nowadays are very open-minded. Even if… I can adopt a child with Zhai Sheng. I promise to treat that child well. If that doesn’t work and Zhai Sheng, and the Zhai family, insists on a biological child, I’m willing to compromise and let them find another woman to give birth to a child. However, after this child is born, she will have to let me adopt him. That woman had better disappear after receiving money and not appear in front of us again.” She felt ashamed toward Zhai Sheng. Thus, she could tolerate Zhai Sheng betraying her once and let another woman be pregnant with his child. However, it was only once.
Qiu Qin said sarcastically, “If that’s the case, why wouldn’t Zhai Sheng marry the child’s mother directly? Why must it be you? He’s already willing to let another woman carry his own child. What other reason is there for him to insist on remarrying you?”
There must be a reason for everything, right?
As such, where did Qiu Chenxi’s confidence come from to think that although Zhai Sheng was willing to make another woman pregnant, he would still insist on remarrying Qiu Chenxi, a rotten pit? What was the beauty of Qiu Chenxi?
“Dad, can’t you say something nicer? Must you say such infuriating words? Would it benefit you if I can’t please him? If I remarry Zhai Sheng, wouldn’t your thoughts come true?” Qiu Chenxi was angry. Forget it that others didn’t think highly of her. Even her biological father thought so. Qiu Chenxi couldn’t accept this.
Qiu Qin crossed his legs. “I would certainly be happy if you can remarry Zhai Sheng, but it might not happen. Nobody’s a fool. Stop thinking about it. You mother and daughter can continue talking. I’m heading out. I shan’t waste my time and breath on you anymore.”
Upon seeing that Qiu Qin really walked away, Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi were furious. Qiu Chenxi gritted her teeth. “Does this matter concern only me? It’s the Qiu family’s business. Mom, you’re not going to care about Dad?”
“Care? Can I?” Qi Minlan was filled with hatred. “Why do you think your dad is treating you so badly? He already has a son. Why would he still care about you, a daughter who only knows how to give him trouble and not benefits? Why do you think he’s retreating so happily this time around? He’s just making room for his biological son!”
Qiu Chenxi was stunned. “Son? Where did my dad’s son come from?” Her mother had only given birth to her. It shouldn’t be what she was thinking, right?
“Your dad has long provided for another woman outside. That woman’s son is in his twenties this year. He just graduated from university and started working. If your dad doesn’t retreat, that bastard can’t enter. As such, whether you can reconcile your marriage with Zhai Sheng or not no longer bears any significance to him. He certainly won’t be eager to help you get your happiness back.” Qi Minlan was full of grievances.
She always thought that Qiu Qin was like a dog by her side who listened to her words. As long as she said to go east, Qiu Qin wouldn’t dare to go west. Who knew that Qiu Qin had long provided for another woman outside since more than twenty years ago and the two of them even gave birth to a son?!
“Did you think that your father really brought your grandparents to the farmhouse to play every month? The Qiu family was just there to see the vixen and the son she gave birth to behind our backs!” To think that she was clever her whole life but stupid this once. She was deceived by this scheming Qiu family.
Where did Qiu Qin get the money to provide for the vixen and raise the bastard up? If he didn’t rely on the relationship she and her daughter had, would he have such an income?
Upon thinking that her help to Qiu Qin had completely benefited that vixen and the son she gave birth to in the end, Qi Minlan felt more regretful of the wrong choice she made that year, compared to Qiu Chenxi.
Qiu Chenxi felt that something in her heart broke, and she couldn’t piece them back together again. “Mom, when did you confirm this?”
“I accidentally heard about this when the two old folks were gone.”
