It was precisely the Qin family.
The two groups locked eyes, silent. The Qin family never thought highly of the Tangs, and the elderly couple from the Tang family disliked Qin Zhen even more. If it werenât for Shen Qingyueâs insistence back then, the Tang family would have found Qin Zhen insufferable. Since Shen Qingyue and Qin Zhenâs divorce, the two families had severed all ties and never interacted again.
The two groups waited for the elevator together.
The air was tense. Wei Jiuâer broke the silence, âQingyue, I didnât expect you to have dinner with the Tang family. What a coincidence.â
âYes,â Shen Qingyue chuckled, âCoincidental to the point where certain people are so self-absorbed that they think Iâm following them. Itâs really amusing! Even after all this time, how can someone think I still have feelings for him? As if heâs some kind of irresistible treasureâ¦
Qin Zhen stared at her, his face clouded with anger.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Qingyue ignored him.
The Tang family did not spare him a glance either. Just speaking to them felt uncomfortable; their aversion was practically written on their faces.
When they got into the elevator and reached the parking lot, the Tang family got into their car, and Shen Qingyue headed for her own. Just as she opened her car door, someone called her name, âShen Qingyue, wait.â
Shen Qingyue looked up and saw Madam Qin walking toward her, leaning against the car door. âWhatâs the matter? Iâve already said it; I didnât come here because of your son. Canât you stop being so self-absorbed?â
Madam Qin went straight to the point, âZhen is going to marry Wei Jiuâer. Did you know?â
âIsnât this common knowledge by now?â Shen Qingyue was speechless, but what followed left her even more dumbfounded.
Madam Qin hesitated and said, âI want to ask you, if I give you a chance, do you still want to return to the Qin family?â
âHeh!â Shen Qingyue smiled ambiguously, âGive me a chance? So until now, you still think I want to reconcile with Qin Zhen? I really donât understand. What do I need to say for you to understand that I have no feelings for Qin
Zhen anymore!â
âDonât speak out of anger,â Madam Qin scolded, âI know you havenât let go of Zhen. You liked him for so long; how could you move on in just a year? Iâm a woman; I understand these emotions. Besides, if youâve truly moved on, why do you keep hovering around him and Wei Jiuâer? Frankly, Iâm not satisfied with Wei Jiuâer, but due to personal reasons, I canât confront her directly. If you want to remarry Zhen, I can help you! And your current status⦠without the Qin family, it would be difficult to maintain the management rights of the Shen family, right?â
Madam Qin contemplated for a long time and eventually decided to let Shen Qingyue and Qin Zhen remarry. Setting aside the fact that the Shen familyâs assets had doubled, which was advantageous to the Qin family, just Shen Qingyueâs blood type was worth her consideration. In case something happened to her son again, she did not want any unexpected situations to arise. Having a mobile blood bank was safer.
Shen Qingyue turned to face her directly, saying, âMadam Qin, are you planning to use me as a pawn in your scheme?â
âItâs a mutually beneficial arrangement,â Madam Qin said confidently. âYou want to remarry Qin Zhen, and I want to get rid of Wei Jiuâer. By cooperating, we both benefit. Why not seize this opportunity?â
âMadam Qin, do you not understand what Iâm saying? I donât want to remarry Qin Zhen. So where does the mutual benefit come in?â Shen Qingyueâs tone turned mocking. âI remember, Madam Qin, you used to suspect that I harmed Qin Zhen. Have you forgotten?â
Madam Qin hadnât forgotten. She had been investigating all along but hadnât found any evidence. She used to suspect Shen Qingyue, but when she learned that Shen Qingyue had donated blood to save Qin Zhen, her suspicions faded. If it had been Shen Qingyue, there would have been no need for the blood transfusion, and she wouldnât have even mentioned it. Something about the whole incident didnât add up. Now, she was more inclined to suspect Wei Jiuâer.
Thinking back, Wei Jiuâer was the only one who had benefited from this incident. But she had no evidence, so she didnât dare confront Qin Zhen. Thatâs why she had kept silent all this time.
âI misunderstood you in that matter back then. I was impulsive at the time. You should be able to understand. Qin Zhen is my only son⦠And now, I hope you can come backâ¦â Madam Qin continued when she saw that Shen Qingyueâs expression remained unchanged. âDidnât you always want to move with Qin Zhen to the house you decorated, the Rose Garden? I agree now. As long as you come back, you donât have to live in the old house with Qin Zhen. Iâll agree to anything you want.â
âYou mean that villa?â Shen Qingyue replied casually. âI sold it a while ago. The price was good, much higher than when I bought it. As long as you and your son donât bother me, Iâm grateful.â
Madam Qin was stunned. âYou sold the house in Rose Garden?â That house was something Shen Qingyue had personally designed and considered it her home with Qin Zhen.. But now, Shen Qingyue had sold it?
