So that meant that these two people had done much more intimate and private things in a closed room. “No wonder you were unwilling to help me! It was because you had such an intention! You shameless mistress! I’d better teach you a lesson for snatching someone else’s husband today. Otherwise, you won’t learn what etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame are!”
Qiu Chenxi flew into a rage and wanted to grab Qiao Nan’s hair.
If someone else was in Qiao Nan’s place, they would have lost out since Qiu Chenxi was the one to strike first. Thankfully, the person whom Qiu Chenxi had encountered was Qiao Nan. As a woman of the Zhai family, Qiao Nan had no other ability, but she did know how to protect herself.
The moment she saw Qiu Chenxi reach out for her hair, Qiao Nan grabbed Qiu Chenxi’s hand and twisted it, holding it down. Qiu Chenxi gasped in pain and felt that all energy had been drained from her arm.
Qiao Nan turned pale, but she felt anger rising up within her. “Don’t keep calling others mistresses and take other people’s patience for granted! You don’t deserve to know why I refuse to help you. You’ve already gotten divorced from Brother Zhai, and there’s no possibility of reconciliation. I’m unmarried and so is he. It’s much more moral for me to be with him than you cheating on him during your marriage. You know best who the truly shameless one is!”
Since she had already decided to get together with Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan was not going to back down just because Qiu Chenxi had turned up at her doorstep. She could give in on any other matter but this. “I’m warning you to leave now. Otherwise, I’ll call the police.”
Qiao Nan did not dare to let go because her opponent was Qiu Chenxi. She was afraid that Qiu Chenxi would go crazy and make a din if she were to let go. As such, she maintained a firm grip on Qiu Chenxi and only let go when she chased Qiu Chenxi out of her house. Before Qiu Chenxi had the time to turn around, Qiao Nan quickly locked her door.
Qiu Chenxi was reluctant to give up and kicked and pounded against Qiao Nan’s door, shouting nasty words. “You still don’t admit it? Even if I got a divorce from Zhai Sheng, he’s still my husband! We’re going to reconcile! What are you if you’re not a mistress for barging in at this time? You have the cheek to do it, but you don’t dare to admit to it? I’m warning you that the Zhai family is not just any ordinary family. Didn’t you think about your status before getting yourself into this? Do you think that the Zhai family will agree to this marriage if you seduce my husband? Fat chance! Just wait and see. If the Zhai family finds out that Zhai Sheng’s fallen for someone like you, they’ll find a way to get Zhai Sheng to reconcile with me!”
She did not believe that the Zhai family would not think that it was shameful for Zhai Sheng to marry a caretaker. In comparison to Qiao Nan’s status and background, she did not think that her past mistakes were that unforgivable. No matter what, her family background could match up to Zhai Sheng’s.
“Is that so? Then, why are you still here looking for me? Should I congratulate you in advance that your dreams have come true?” Qiao Nan had to give it up to Qiu Chenxi for being so unaware. It was true that her family background was terrible, but she had lived a decent and honest life, unlike Qiu Chenxi.
The Zhai family was not one to suffer just for the sake of maintaining their dignity. Would they accept an honest and decent daughter-in-law or one who had a good family background but was a failure as a daughter-in-law? It was not just the Zhai family. Even if it was any other family, the odds did not seem to be in Qiu Chenxi’s favor.
Perhaps, it was because of the three years that she had been married to Zhai Sheng that Qiao Nan felt that the Qiu Chenxi before her was even more foolish and unaware than the Qiu Chenxi in her dream.
Qiao Nan wondered if Qiu Chenxi would be able to remain so confident about winning if she were to tell her that everyone in the Zhai family, including Zhai Sheng, knew about the ridiculous lifestyle she had lived after the divorce and how she could no longer bear children.
Looking at the tightly shut door and Qiao Nan’s indifference, Qiu Chenxi’s expression was indescribably foul. Given Qiao Nan’s attitude, Qiu Chenxi knew that she would never be able to scold that shameless and immoral Qiao Nan into realization, nor force her to back down.
That was expected since she was a vixen anyway. How could she have counted on Qiao Nan to have some morality to not snatch someone else’s husband away?
But that was not the end!
After returning to her car, Qiu Chenxi did not return to her rented apartment. Instead, she sped back to Ping Cheng.
It was almost one in the morning when Qi Minlan realized that her daughter had returned and was shocked. “Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t return before you got back together with Zhai Sheng? Why are you suddenly back in the middle of the night? You should have waited until tomorrow at the very least.” Qi Minlan yawned in exhaustion.
Qiu Chenxi slammed the table in rage, chasing Qi Minlan’s sleepiness away at once. “What’s wrong? Did you run into another wall at Zhai Sheng’s? Did you only realize Zhai Sheng’s temper and personality today after growing up with him? You should have prepared yourself for this the moment you decided that you wanted to get back together with him. What’s the point of getting angry now? Are you giving up now?”
If she was not giving up, she would not have returned in the middle of the night.
“Giving up? Zhai Sheng is mine. I’m the chief’s wife. Why should I give my man to someone else, especially someone who’s so much worse than me?” Qiu Chenxi slammed the table even harder.
Qiu Chenxi was dumbfounded and poured a glass of water for Qiu Chenxi. “What’s the matter? Does Zhai Sheng… have someone in mind?”
Had the Zhai family finally found someone whom Zhai Sheng was willing to get married to? No wonder Chenxi was so angry. Chenxi had always been gleeful that Zhai Sheng had been unwilling to marry any other woman and had confidence in her own chances.
“What nonsense! I’m Zhai Sheng’s wife! Zhai Sheng’s a married man. That’s not a partner. That’s a shameless vixen and a mistress! How can Zhai Sheng cheat on me behind my back!” Zhai Sheng was hers and hers alone!
Qi Minlan rubbed her forehead. Chenxi did not seem to be in the right state of mind recently. What nonsense was she spouting? “You’ve already gotten divorced from Zhai Sheng. He’s no longer your husband. It’s neither immoral nor illegal for him to get together with another woman.” She had to be clear of that.
“But I want to get back together with him! So, how can he get together with another woman?” As long as she remarried Zhai Sheng, her relationship with Zhai Sheng would be legally recognized and protected. Qiao Nan was just a woman with no status!
