Chapter 244: Keep a Way Open for Retreat (1)Translator: Sissy That Walk
“Immortal Way” was aired on the 1st of October at a prime time slot, exclusively on a big TV station. Meanwhile Di Qiuhe’s commercial and advertisement for V&G were put on the market, Di Qiuhe soon became the talk of the town.
No one held any press conference to explain what happened to Di Xiasong, so the matter of his attempt to commit suicide was maliciously speculated on the internet. The paparazzo deliberately harass and provoke Qin Li in the hospital trying to dig more dirt from this family.
Qin Li couldn’t take it any more, she stopped visiting Xiasong and hid in the apartment that Di Bian once gave Qin Mingqiang.
She would go through the news online and cursed the reporters, “Bullshit, Xiasong is fine, he is healthy, he is nothing like you said!”
She flipped the table in a fury, leaving a mess on the floor.
Qin Mingqiang who was paralyzed in bed frowned and yelled out of frustration, “Shut up! You useless good-for-nothing, how I wish I had put you in prison instead of your brother! Go cook! I cannot believe you are penniless! Look at yourself, pathetic! ”
Qin Li clenched her fists and turned back to look at her father.
“What are you staring at me for? Go cook!” Qin Mingqiang raised one arm that was able to move and threw a photo frame on the bedside table at her, “Always leave a way open for retreat! I’ve been teaching you that since you were a child, and look at you now, tut tut tut. Go contact Yan family for me, I’m Qin Yunze and Qin Yunyu’s grandfather, they should support me by law. And you, don’t stay at my apartment, you useless trash!”
The photo frame was smashed, and the photo of Di Xiasong and Di Chunhua inside now was lying by Qin Li’s feet.
Seeing that, Qin Li unclenched her fists.
“Yan family? Father, that sounds ridiculously optimistic for me.” she stood up and straightened her skirt, with appreciation, she looked around this little apartment that she used to refuse lay her eyes on, “Oh, father you are right. I should always leave a way open for retreat, hahaha… … like this apartment that no one remembers, it serves as a perfect retreat for me, doesn’t it?”
Di Bian transferred this apartment to Qin family in order to divorce Qin Li back in the days, but she gave this apartment to her father Qin Mingqiang after she married Zeng Peizhong. Now Huangdu went bankrupt, Di Bian was sick, Zeng Peizhong died, this apartment was forgotten by everyone, including herself. Well, thank God everyone had forgotten about this apartment, otherwise Zeng Peizhong’s lawyers would take it away from her.
It didn’t matter she was penniless now, she had a property! Tiny as it was, it was in the best location, she could sell it for a lot of cash by the market price at the moment.
With that in mind, she stared at her father with a meaningful smile. Qin Mingqiang squinted and asked with alertness, “What are you up to? I’m telling you, this apartment is mine, don’t even think about it, I’m warning you.”
“But father, this apartment is under my name.” Qin Li walked to her father’s bedside and tucked him in gently, she bent down and looked under the bed, finally a box in the corner caught her attention, her smile turned bigger, “Father, you are the best teacher for showing me always keep a way open for retreat, that box is mine now. Thank you, father.”
Qin Mingqiang glared at her, but there was nothing he could do but scream, “No! Not that box! No!”
The box not not large by size, and Qin Li decoded the password pretty quick, there were some nice Jewelries and gold coins, as well as an exquisite curio, which looks like a decent amount money to Qin Li.
Feeling satisfied by these pennies from heaven, Qin Li took hold of the box and took a look at Qin Mingqiang, “Father, I know you don’t have the heart to see your grandchildren Xiasong and Chunhua suffer, I know you are willing to let me have this box. Don’t worry, I’ll come back for you after I have Xiasong and Chunhua back happily, don’t worry, I’ll take care of you soon.”
“Monster! You monster!” Qin Mingqiang’s eyes turned scarlet red.
Qin Li couldn’t care less about his curse, she asked in reply, “Haha, I’m a monster, what are you?” with that she stormed out carrying the box.
The apartment, a car she once bought for Qin Mingqiang, the box… … Qin Li sold everything available for some instant cash, then she arranged a nursing home for Qin Mingqiang in a hurry.
With money in hand, she went to the hospital, “Xiasong, mom has money now, don’t you worry about a thing, I will hire you the best lawyer to get you out from this case.” Qin Li stroked her son’s face and kept saying, “Don’t worry, son, I will find you the best doctor and medical care. And soon I will go abroad to pick up your sister, I don’t know how is she doing all by herself.”
Hearing that, Di Xiasong who was silent this whole time turned back and looked at Qin Li, “Of course you are going to abandon me again to look for my sister, I know it! Yeah, I’m useless now, I know I’m nowhere near as important as that lunatic, you and her both are Qins, I’m a Di, of course I’m not as important as her.”
“Xiasong!” Qin Li screamed at him.
But soon she regretted, seeing Xiasong’s facial expression turning even more gloomy, she turned down her volume, “What nonsense are you talking about? You and your sister are equally important in my heart, and don’t call your sister a luna… … I’m going abroad mainly to look for a good doctor for you, I don’t trust anyone here now, everyone is working for Zeng Peizhong and Fan Da. You be good and wait for me, I will be back soon.”
Di Xiasong lowered his eyes and changed the subject, “Where’s the money from? You were penniless just days ago, and now you have money to go abroad and look for doctors?”
“The money is from grandpa.” answered Qin Li vaguely. Then she checked the time and left.
Seeing his mom’s receding figure, Di Xiasong’s eyes dimmed and he told himself this was the last chance he gave his mother, the last chance… …
How time flew, this day Di Xiasong was discharged from the hospital and was transferred back to prison. His mom was nowhere to see, no one could reach her, even the police officers and Zeng Peizhong’s lawyer team.
Di Xiasong just nodded his head in silence when he was told that, he turned more silent after that and he didn’t ask one question about Qin Li since that day.
