Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 998 Let me go!
However, in front of Qin Ce, Qin Liang had to set conditions for him to agree to.
But Qin Ce didn't appreciate it at all; who wouldn't be angry?
Qin Ce frankly stated, "I didn't mean to show off, it's just that the conditions you offered weren't enough to entice me, so there's no need for this deal to continue."
Qin Ce added, "If you think I'm being disrespectful, you can choose to hand the company over to someone else. After all, I'm not the only son in the Qin family; there are plenty of people who want your position."
After Qin Ce finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
The next second, Qin Liang suddenly spoke up, "I know you don't care about money or power. Since you don't need these things, then say what you want to say."
Qin Ce turned to look at him, his lips slightly upturned in a half-smile, "Are you sure?"
Qin Liang remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Qin Ce didn't waste any more words. Instead, he got straight to the point.
"Divorced from Wang Yu."
Qin Liang's pupils dilated suddenly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"What did you say?"
Qin Ce repeated himself, word by word, "I said, I want you to divorce Wang Yu."
"you……"
Qin Liang never expected Qin Ce to offer such conditions. He couldn't accept it for a moment, his blood rushed to his head, and his brain was buzzing.
This is outrageous!
Qin Liang gritted his teeth and said, "I know you hate me for divorcing your mother and marrying her, but ask yourself honestly, she has been very good to both you and Xiao Yi in the Qin family all these years."
Qin Ce said coldly, "Only I know whether it's good or not. This is the condition I'm offering. If you agree, I will protect the Qin family. If you don't agree, then you'll have to figure out what to do with the Qin family yourself."
After Qin Ce finished speaking, he turned and left.
Qin Liang opened his mouth, about to say something, when the ward door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside.
Qin Ji stormed in, yelling, "Qin Ce! I'll beat you to death today, or I'm not a Qin!"
He went straight for Qin Ce, grabbed Qin Ce by the collar, and clenched his fist, ready to hit Qin Ce.
Qiao Xing was standing at the door when Qin Ce was standing close to the door, so she heard what he said.
As luck would have it, Qin Ji arrived just as Qin Ce was saying those words.
Qiao Xing originally wanted to stop Qin Ji, but before she could even speak, Qin Ce in the ward said that he wanted Qin Liang and Wang Yu to divorce.
These words reached Qin Ji's ears very clearly.
Before Qiao Xing could react, Qin Ji rushed in.
Qiao Xing tried to stop him, but was almost pushed over.
Just as Qin Ji's fist was about to land on Qin Ce's face, Qin Ce reacted quickly and grabbed his wrist, stopping his movement in mid-air.
The cracking of bones was unusually clear in the ward, accompanied by Qin Ji's cries of pain.
"Qin Ce, let me go!"
The person who was about to teach someone a lesson was punished in just a few seconds. Qin Ji's face turned red and white in turns, clearly showing that he was embarrassed and angry.
His attitude clearly angered Qin Ce. He tightened his grip slightly, and Qin Ji immediately cried out in pain, "Ah! It hurts! Qin Ce, it hurts! Let me go!"
His voice attracted the attention of people in the corridor outside, and everyone stood at the door watching this sudden scene.
When Wang Yu rushed over, he saw Qin Ji being restrained by Qin Ce, wincing in pain.
She quickly asked, "What happened?"
When Qin Ji saw Wang Yu, it was like seeing a lifeline. "Mom! Save me!"
Seeing Qin Ji covered in sweat from the pain, Wang Yu became anxious as well. "Xiao Ce, let's talk this out. Let go of Xiao Ji first. Look how much pain he's in..."
Qin Ce released Qin Ji, his expression of disgust clearly visible.
This instantly displeased Qin Ji. "You!"
"Shut up!" Wang Yu snapped at him. "What exactly happened?"
Qin Ji said angrily, "Mom, he stirred up trouble between you and Dad, trying to make Dad divorce you!"
Wang Yu visibly stiffened for a moment.
She knew Qin Ce didn't like her and had never acknowledged her as his stepmother, but she never expected that after so many years, Qin Ce would suddenly bring this up so bluntly, especially in front of Qin Liang.
Wang Yu's lips twitched slightly, revealing a smile that barely even qualifyed as a genuine laugh.
"Xiao Ce, don't listen to Xiao Ji's nonsense. He must have misheard. How could you say such a thing..."
Wang Yu tried to salvage the situation, but Qin Ce's cold "He didn't mishear" instantly froze all of Wang Yu's expressions on his face.
With a loud crash, the cup on the bedside table was smashed to the ground.
Qin Liang was furious. He pointed at Qin Ce and roared, "Get out of here!"
Qin Ce didn't even glance at Qin Liang, walked over, took Qiao Xing's hand, and left the ward as if no one else was there.
There were still quite a few onlookers standing at the entrance, so Wang Yu quickly dismissed them, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone, you've all made a fool of yourselves. Please leave, please leave."
The farce only subsided after Wang Yu closed the ward door.
Qin Ji said with dissatisfaction, "Mom! He said those kinds of things, how could you let him go!"
Wang Yu frowned and glanced at him. "Xiao Ji, you can go out now."
"mom!"
Qin Ji was furious. If he hadn't overheard those words, he wouldn't have known that Qin Ce was such a hypocrite.
Wang Yu worked diligently and conscientiously in the Qin family, but he secretly instigated a conflict between Wang Yu and Qin Liang.
Qin Ji couldn't swallow this insult!
However, Wang Yu did not intend to pursue the matter. She gave Qin Ji a warning look, signaling him to leave.
Qin Ji had no choice but to leave in despair.
Wang Yu quickly composed herself and walked over to Qin Liang, saying, "Did you and Xiao Ce have another fight?"
Qin Liang remained silent.
Wang Yu scolded, "You're right. Xiao Ce finally came to see you. Can't you two talk things out properly? If you hadn't made Xiao Ce angry, he wouldn't have said those things."
Wang Yu poured a glass of water and handed it to Qin Liang, saying, "If you ask me, you really need to change your temper. Once this child with autism is born, you'll be a grandfather. If you continue like this, not only will Xiao Ce be disgusted with you, but even the child with autism will despise you."
Qin Liang remained silent for a while before speaking, "Find someone to clean up the mess on the ground. You've been guarding here all day, go back and rest, don't overwork yourself."
Wang Yu opened her mouth, about to speak, when Qin Liang turned his back and lay down. "I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while, don't let anyone disturb me."
Wang Yu's words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back down.
