Qiu Hu looks at the man in front of her and asks, "Actually, I want to ask, are you a love-struck fool?"
"Not anymore. After all, it's my first time dating, so I didn't ha...
In the evening, Old Master Qiu, acting as a peacemaker, summoned the Qiu family home for dinner.
"Alright, let's eat! Let's eat!" Old Master Qiu called out.
“Yes, let’s eat, Dad. I’ll have plenty of time to come back and have meals with you from now on. Don’t complain that I won’t come home to be with you anymore. After all, I’m a free man starting today.” Qiu Bing’s words were sarcastic.
“How can he be an idle person? It’s time to let the younger generation take over the business.”
"Yes, but Dad, it's not good to get things through threats. Don't let us use coercion to get things done in the future! Qiu Hu, don't you think so?"
Qiu Hu picked up a piece of broccoli and said in a serious tone, "Auntie, you don't need to worry about these things. Now that you have time, you should spend more time caring for your husband and children!" After saying that, she ate the broccoli.
Qiu Bing felt that Qiu Hu was mocking her. "What do you mean?"
"Does my cousin think we're all a handful, which is why she talks to Mom like that?" Jiang Yun began to embellish the story.
"Chou Hu, who are you talking about?" Jiang Yun's words reminded Jiang Kong, who roared in dissatisfaction.
Qiu Hu picked up another piece of beef, saying, "I'm just telling the truth." After saying that, he ate the beef.
"Alright, alright, let's eat, stop chatting." Old Master Qiu began to smooth things over with a slightly authoritative tone, and Qiu Bing finally "restrained" and shut up.
As dinner was drawing to a close, Qiu Bing had a plan. With a smug look on his face, he asked, "Qiu Hu, where is Qiu Ting? Even if she betrayed you, you shouldn't be keeping her here."
"Auntie, are you being so generous now? You're even speaking up for Uncle's mistress."
"Heh, we can settle our own business with your uncle. After all, she's from our enemy family. Butler Qiu only has this one niece. It's not fair for you to refuse to release her!"
"Oh, right, Qiu Ting's real boss is you. She's always been working for you. Didn't you even tell her to steal the necklace last time? But Auntie, why did you steal my necklace?"
"What do you mean she stole it? When did I call her? Don't make false accusations." Qiu Bing denied it outright.
"This is what Qiu Ting said herself. Is Aunt afraid to admit it?"
"So what if I did call for it? It hasn't succeeded yet, has it? What do you want to do about it!" Qiu Bing simply stopped pretending.
"Why did you steal Ah Hu's necklace?" Old Master Qiu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Dad, of course I have my own uses."
"So you think you can steal it? Look at you, all these years you've lived like a dog, getting more and more outrageous as you get older." Old Master Qiu said, exasperated.
Feeling embarrassed by the old man's words in front of so many people, Qiu Bing quickly changed the subject back to the previous one, "Qiu Hu, where exactly is Qiu Ting?"
"It's a pity, she's in the hospital now on her pregnancy, so she probably won't be able to help her aunt for a while. She was supposed to come to the celebration banquet, but she went through a miscarriage on the way and is still in the hospital on her pregnancy. Aunt, you're about to become a grandmother! Don't you know that?"
"Preservation of the pregnancy? Are you serious?" Qiu Bing's sinister voice came from behind.
"Hmm!" Qiu Hu affirmed.
Qiu Bing slammed her chopsticks on the table in anger, her veins bulging on her hands, and cursed at Jiang Wenshan beside her, "You Jiang Wenshan, you've really gone too far, you're about to have a child!"
"No, honey, let me explain. It was that woman who seduced me."
"It takes two to tango. What, you really want to support two families, huh?"
"Dad, you've gone too far!"
"Dad, didn't you say that we can have fun outside, but don't bring the kids home?" His dad is really amazing; he can still have a baby at his age.
Qiu Bing immediately slapped Jiang Wenshan across the face, her eyes wide with anger. "Jiang Wenshan, what have you taught my son? It seems you've been playing around with women outside!" Still feeling unsatisfied, she hit him again and tore at his clothes.
"Alright!" Jiang Wenshan shoved Qiu Bing, who fell to the ground. He glanced at Qiu Lan, who was sitting quietly watching the show, and said, "You have such a grown daughter here. Have I said anything all these years?"
Qiu Lan is the child born from a drunken encounter with a stranger by Qiu Bing. Even after Qiu Lan was born, she was not loved by Qiu Bing because Qiu Bing felt it was a disgrace. To this day, Qiu Lan lives with Old Master Qiu in the old house.
"You still think you're right, Jiang Wenshan? You have no shame, but I do!" After saying that, she got up and slapped him again. Then, the two began to tear at each other.
Jiang Yun was worried, Jiang Kong was surprised, Qiu Lan watched the drama unfold, Qiu Hu chuckled, and Old Master Qiu, furious, left the table and went upstairs, wanting to avoid seeing it. In the end, Qiu Hu left satisfied.
Jiang Wenshan and Qiu Bing were still arguing when they got home. "Jiang Wenshan, I want a divorce."
"Divorce? Qiu Bing, have you thought this through? Without me, who will do your work? If it weren't for me back then..."
"Alright! Stop talking!" Qiu Bing remembered what happened back then and stopped him in time.
Jiang Yun, who was standing next to him, asked, "What happened back then?"
"Don't worry about it, it's all old news, why bring it up?" Qiu Bing's eyes darted away as he tried to cover up his words.
Jiang Yun knew Qiu Bing well; it must be something important that she didn't know about, which was why she was hiding it from her.
Butler Qiu also stepped in to help Qiu Bing, saying, "Miss, calm down. Think things through carefully. You can't divorce your son-in-law."
But Jiang Yun mocked him, "Butler Qiu, why bother? Why don't you keep an eye on your niece and stop her from harming my parents?"
Butler Qiu's face immediately turned pale. "Miss, I'm sorry, it's all my niece's fault. I will help you teach her a lesson, and she won't be allowed to keep the child in her belly. She will never appear in Qincheng again."
Qiu Bing was exhausted from arguing. She always trusted Butler Qiu completely, but after all, she was Butler Qiu's niece. "She's really audacious. You'd better handle it yourself, Butler Qiu. Don't let me down!" She was reminding Butler Qiu how she got her status.
"Yes, Miss." Butler Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now that the company has been occupied, what are we going to do?" Jiang Wenshan asked, voicing the problem.
Qiu Bing's gloomy eyes revealed malice. "I won't let that little bitch Qiu Hu get away with this. She just wait and see!" After saying that, he began to instruct Jiang Wenshan, "Jiang Wenshan, I'm not at the company. Keep a close eye on things. We still don't know what kind of bargaining chips that little bitch has."
Jiang Wenshan nodded in response.
Turning to look at her two children, she felt a headache coming on. Neither of them was of any use; one was sitting in a wheelchair, and the other was half-reclining on the sofa playing on his phone. "Jiang Kong, and you too, are you of any use at the company?"
Qiu Bing's anger reached Jiang Kong, who immediately sat up straight and said, "Mom, I understand. I'll keep a close eye on the company and make sure Qiu Hu doesn't take it over."
Jiang Kong has always been all talk and no action, so Qiu Bing couldn't count on him to do anything.
"Mom, should I go find Shao Ling again?" Jiang Yun asked.
"What's the use of going to him? Do you think he'll help you forever? I'm not trying to criticize you, but it's been so long and you still haven't gotten rid of Shao Ling. Can't you think of a way?"
"Mom, I will try my best."
