Chapter 2470: Ascertaining the Truth (2)
Zhai Hua walked over to help Miao Jing, but the latter avoided her impatiently. “Although I’m already in my seventies, I can still walk on my own.”
The older one was, the more one behaved like children.
Following Jiajia’s enrollment into a university in the capital, the Zhai family’s reunion happened in the capital.
Such a life was complete for Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui, and both of them had no other demands.
Besides, there was something that the entire Zhai family didn’t know about, but only Miao Jing did.
Two years ago, after overhearing the conversation between Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng, the last shackle in Miao Jing’s heart fell to the ground, giving Miao Jing a different mood and feeling.
After calming down, Miao Jing was no longer as restless as before. She also no longer had an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. Although her body wasn’t particularly strong, it wasn’t weak either. She didn’t go to the hospital and rarely took medicine.
Now, Miao Jing was no longer anxious. Like before, she still loved the triplets and Jiajia and wanted to see the growth of these four children as much as possible.
She no longer insisted on things and became happy-go-lucky.
She would live as long as she could and look at these four children as much as possible. Take it that she earned it.
She wasn’t making a loss but earning instead. In that case, why did she have to struggle so much and be at odds with herself?
Aside from the four children, Miao Jing placed importance on Zhai Yaohui in her heart once again.
As a woman who valued her husband, the time spent by his side naturally couldn’t be short.
Her grandchildren were obedient, and her husband was caring and considerate. He even wanted to make up for the lost time in their youth. Miao Jing suddenly realized that her life couldn’t be more blessed.
As for Qi Minlan whom she was once so jealous of, looking back today, she was also a pitiful person.
Even though the Zhai family didn’t pay attention to the Qiu family’s matters, news would still travel to the Zhai family through various channels.
The person who knew about everything the earliest was always Zhai Hua.
There was no choice. Among so many people in the Zhai family, only Zhai Hua had ‘mingled’ well. She had all kinds of friends around her, and they were well-informed. As long as Zhai Hua wanted to know about something, they could find out for her.
A few years ago, Qiu Qin was shameless. He brought the son his mistress gave birth to to find a job and said that he was Zhai Sheng’s nephew.
Back then, Zhai Hua was still in Ping Cheng. How would she allow Qiu Qin to be so presumptuous?
Among the people in this circle, only quite a few in Ping Cheng didn’t know why Zhai Sheng would divorce Qiu Chenxi.
Based on this situation, only Qiu Qin, who was at his wits’ end, and the son his mistress gave birth to, who was extremely thick-skinned to say that Zhai Sheng was his uncle, would do such a thing.
Without Zhai Hua making a move, how would this son of Qiu Qin be able to find a good job, let alone become an official again?
Thankfully, Qiu Qin really liked his son. He spent quite a lot of money on him since he was young to groom him.
This person was slightly capable. However, he was unlucky to have Qiu Qin, a father who only knew how to do his son in.
He didn’t need to think about being a national civil servant or official. However, as long as it wasn’t a state-owned enterprise and he wasn’t picky about his career, this person would still be able to find a job and earn money so that he could survive.
However, this also meant that Qiu Qin’s family would leave the national political sphere forever and could only lead an honest life in the future.
When his dream of being an official was broken, how would Qiu Qin be happy even though he had both a son and a grandson? He missed the days when he had not yet gotten a divorce with Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi was still a daughter he was proud of.
Qiu Qin finally realized that no matter how good a son was, he wasn’t as good as being an official.
He wasn’t an emperor who had to pass his throne to his son and grandson. As long as the Qiu family could return to its original state and he could continue being an official, he’d rather not have a son or a grandson.
Having Qiu Chenxi as a daughter alone wasn’t a bad thing.
If he was given another chance, he would definitely not take this old path again. He would cherish Qi Minlan and work together to raise Qiu Chenxi well so that she could grab hold of Zhai Sheng as his son-in-law.
No one could understand how Qiu Qin died.
Qiu Qin wasn’t ill, so it was impossible that he died from an illness. However, no one harmed him either.
If it was said that he passed away because of old age, then there were a lot of people older than him who were living well.
In this lifetime, Qiu Qin had slept with Qi Minlan on the same bed but had different dreams. However, when it came to death, it was as if the couple had discussed prior that they were going to leave on the same night.
Different from Qiu Qin, no one was surprised that Qi Minlan died.
Before Qi Minlan got a divorce from Qiu Qin, she wasn’t very well and was always ill.
It was because of her poor health condition that she didn’t hesitate and promised to divorce Qiu Qin and give her position to the mistress when he showed up with her and his son.
There was no other reason. She was in poor health and didn’t have the energy or physical strength to kick up a fuss.
Qiu Chenxi was already in her forties. She was divorced once and didn’t have a child by her side. She also didn’t have a new boyfriend, so it was very likely that she wouldn’t have a child of her own in the future.
This daughter was simply someone that Qi Minlan couldn’t bear to let go of.
In order to take care of Qiu Chenxi, Qi Minlan wanted to live for a few more days and arrange the days of her daughter well so that even when she wasn’t around, she could still lead a good life. Only then would Qi Minlan feel at ease and leave this world peacefully.
They were really sisters.
Shi Qing was in good health. It was just that she didn’t want to get married. She was tired of people calculating against her and didn’t want to place her feelings on a man at this age. Thus, she adopted a child.
After knowing that Shi Qing did so, Qi Minlan thought for a while and also encouraged Qiu Chenxi to adopt a child who was still drinking milk.
If she raised such a child up, and as long as the child wasn’t told that he or she was adopted, he or she would treat Qiu Chenxi as his or her biological mother.
Under Qi Minlan’s support, Qiu Chenxi adopted a daughter.
Why a daughter and not a son?
It was because Qiu Qin liked sons. Because of this, he drove her, the daughter, out of the house for his mistress’ son.
Since this was the case, she wanted to raise a daughter more than a son. She wanted to be a completely different person from Qiu Qin.
