Ling Bingâer could not hold back any longer and burst out with a torrent of curses, âShen Qingyue, are you doing this on purpose? You made me run so far to get my bag! Now you better give me my bagâ¦â
Shen Qingyue hung up the phone directly and, as an afterthought, powered off her phone. She did not care how many times the other person called.
When Ling Bingâer called again, it showed that the phone was already powered off. Frustrated, she threw her phone on the ground, shattering her brand-new device. Thinking about the money she had just lost, she stomped her feet in anger.
Madam Qin arrived at the hospital carrying chicken soup. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Ling Bingâer stomping her feet in the corridor, uttering foul language. Her face displayed a hint of displeasure. She cared for Ling Bingâer, after all, she was her deceased sisterâs only child. However, possibly due to her motherâs early passing and her fatherâs lack of attention, she became increasingly difficult to manage.
After Ling Bingâer had vented her frustration, she finally noticed Madam Qin and immediately put on a smiling face. âAuntie, youâre here.â
Madam Qin frowned. âWho has upset you again? Weâre in public; canât you be more composed?â
âI know⦠But itâs Shen Qingyue again. Otherwise, I wouldnât be so angry!â Ling Bingâer gritted her teeth. âAuntie, didnât you suppress the Shen Groupâs business before? How is it that Shen Qingyue seems to be just fine? She can still run around freely?â
Bringing up this topic made Madam Qinâs frown even more severe, and her tone became stern. After all, she had blocked so many business deals, but there were still people willing to cooperate with Shen Qingyue. She had worked tirelessly and even used many favors, and it was all for nothing. Now, with Ling Bingâer asking about it at this moment, she lost her patience. âMentioning her is bad luck. Enough, letâs go inside and see Zhen.â
Ling Bingâer suddenly said, âAuntie, do you know about the situation where Shen Qingyue bullied my brother and Jiuâer?â
Madam Qin frowned. âWhat happened?â
Ling Bingâer quickly explained the incident about the car being vandalized. A shadow fell over Madam Qinâs face. âIs this true?â
Ling Bingâer nodded. âWhy would I lie to you? The key thing is that⦠Brother didnât even ask Shen Qingyue for compensation. I suspect he might still have feelings for her! Aunt, you canât let this go easily. My brother is preparing to marry Jiuâer, and Shen Qingyue is trying to seduce him. This woman just canât stand to see my brother happy. You mustnât let her off lightly!â
Madam Qinâs face darkened, but she remained silent as she walked into the hospital room.
As soon as she entered, she saw a nurse changing the dressing on Qin Zhenâs wound.
Madam Qin suppressed her anger and said to the nurse, âPlease step outside.â
This was a private hospital, and customer service was paramount. Even though the nurses hadnât finished changing the dressing, they stopped and left the room.
The door to the hospital room was closed, and Madam Qin asked, âShen
Qingyue vandalized the car you gave to Jiuâer?â
Qin Zhen glanced at Ling Bingâer, who was lingering near the door. âDid she tell you?â
Madam Qin didnât hide anything. âYes, Bingâer mentioned it. She also said you didnât ask Shen Qingyue for compensation?â
Qin Zhen pursed his lips. âYes.â
Madam Qinâs expression grew more serious. âQin Zhen, what exactly are you thinking? You insisted on marrying Wei Jiuâer despite my objections. Now that Iâve finally agreed, are you having second thoughts? Do you want to rekindle things with Shen Qingyue?â
âI donât,â Qin Zhen replied quickly. He had only briefly considered giving up on marrying Wei Jiuâer, but rationally, he still wanted to go through with it.
However, even though he said that, Madam Qin was not reassured. She knew her son too well. Just by looking at his expression, she could tell he was hesitating. She sighed suddenly. âZhen, if youâve decided to marry Wei Jiuâer, you should completely put aside any thoughts of Shen Qingyue. I donât want you to be like your father! If youâre not sure, then donât get married. Itâs a responsibility to both you and the company. I donât want Qin Corporation to have to manage public relations because of your personal life again.â Madam Qin remembered what Qin Zhenâs father had done in the past, and it still weighed heavily on her.
Qin Zhen remained silent for a long time. âIâve made up my mind. I will marry Wei Jiuâer.â
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin fell silent for a while longer before finally leaving the room to allow the waiting nurse to continue with the dressing change.
Qin Zhenâs mind was in turmoil. He leaned back on the hospital bed and slowly closed his eyes.
In the afternoon, Shen Qingyue arrived in Jianghai City by plane at 2 0âclock. She went straight to meet with her clients without a break. When she finished her work and returned to the hotel, the night had already fallen. Despite the late hour, she did not rest. Instead, she took out a travel guide, planning to explore the city the next morning, even though she only had a few hours of free time. Nevertheless, she was content with her busy schedule..
