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 weren’t for Shen Qingyue’s insistence back then, the Tang family would have found Qin Zhen insufferable. Since Shen Qingyue and Qin Zhen’s 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 Jiu’er broke the silence, “Qingyue, I didn’t expect you to have dinner with the Tang family. What a coincidence.”
“Yes,” Shen Qingyue chuckled, “Coincidental to the point where certain people are so self-absorbed that they think I’m following them. It’s really amusing! Even after all this time, how can someone think I still have feelings for him? As if he’s some kind of irresistible treasure…
Qin Zhen stared at her, his face clouded with anger.
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, “Shen Qingyue, wait.”
Shen Qingyue looked up and saw Madam Qin walking toward her, leaning against the car door. “What’s the matter? I’ve already said it; I didn’t come here because of your son. Can’t you stop being so self-absorbed?”
Madam Qin went straight to the point, “Zhen is going to marry Wei Jiu’er. Did you know?”
“Isn’t this common knowledge by now?” Shen Qingyue was speechless, but what followed left her even more dumbfounded.
Madam Qin hesitated and said, “I want to ask you, if I give you a chance, do you still want to return to the Qin family?”
“Heh!” Shen Qingyue smiled ambiguously, “Give me a chance? So until now, you still think I want to reconcile with Qin Zhen? I really don’t understand. What do I need to say for you to understand that I have no feelings for Qin
Zhen anymore!”
“Don’t speak out of anger,” Madam Qin scolded, “I know you haven’t let go of Zhen. You liked him for so long; how could you move on in just a year? I’m a woman; I understand these emotions. Besides, if you’ve truly moved on, why do you keep hovering around him and Wei Jiu’er? Frankly, I’m not satisfied with Wei Jiu’er, but due to personal reasons, I can’t 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?”
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 family’s assets had doubled, which was advantageous to the Qin family, just Shen Qingyue’s 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, “Madam Qin, are you planning to use me as a pawn in your scheme?”
“It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement,” Madam Qin said confidently. “You want to remarry Qin Zhen, and I want to get rid of Wei Jiu’er. By cooperating, we both benefit. Why not seize this opportunity?”
“Madam Qin, do you not understand what I’m saying? I don’t want to remarry Qin Zhen. So where does the mutual benefit come in?” Shen Qingyue’s tone turned mocking. “I remember, Madam Qin, you used to suspect that I harmed Qin Zhen. Have you forgotten?”
Madam Qin hadn’t forgotten. She had been investigating all along but hadn’t 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 wouldn’t have even mentioned it. Something about the whole incident didn’t add up. Now, she was more inclined to suspect Wei Jiu’er. contemporary romance
Thinking back, Wei Jiu’er was the only one who had benefited from this incident. But she had no evidence, so she didn’t dare confront Qin Zhen. That’s why she had kept silent all this time.
“I 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 back…” Madam Qin continued when she saw that Shen Qingyue’s expression remained unchanged. “Didn’t 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 don’t have to live in the old house with Qin Zhen. I’ll agree to anything you want.”
“You mean that villa?” Shen Qingyue replied casually. “I sold it a while ago. The price was good, much higher than when I bought it. As long as you and your son don’t bother me, I’m grateful.”
Madam Qin was stunned. “You sold the house in Rose Garden?” That house was something Shen Qingyue had personally designed and considered it her home with Qin Zhen.. But now, Shen Qingyue had sold it?
