"My mother has recently fallen ill, and I'd like her to go to Beijing for treatment."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang sneered.

"What illness?"

Zhu Guoqiang remained silent for a long time. He couldn't bring himself to talk about his illness. If Xiang'er found out, she might suspect him, and if she divorced him, it would be a real problem. He still needed to use the Duan family's power to climb the social ladder.

Thinking of this, Zhu Guoqiang added.

"It's just some common illnesses among the elderly. I plan to send her to Beijing for treatment. I think it would be better for Mom to stay at home; with you looking after her, I'd feel more at ease."

Upon hearing Zhu Guoqiang's words, Qin Xiang immediately exploded.

"Zhu Guoqiang, you're going to let your mother live with us? Impossible."

Old Mrs. Zhu has contracted a sexually transmitted disease, yet she still wants to live with her. If she were to transmit the disease to herself and her child, or to her relatives, or if word got out, she would absolutely be unable to continue working with Fang Yu and Fang Ai.

And Mr. An, he will also find fault with her.

Thinking of all this, Qin Xiang angrily scolded Zhu Guoqiang.

Hearing Qin Xiang say that, Zhu Guoqiang didn't dare to say anything more.

He decided to move Old Lady Zhu to a new house where she wouldn't know anyone and no one would know about her mother's situation.

He can't let his mother ruin him.

The Duan family.

More than ten days have passed, and the matter is still unclear. Aunt Duan's eldest and second aunts are no longer as impulsive as they were when they first heard the news. However, they both harbor a lingering resentment, feeling that their husbands have betrayed them.

They weren't unaware of their husbands' affairs before, but they didn't know, and the matter never came to their attention. Now, however, they've become the laughingstock of their social circle.

Duan's eldest sister-in-law looked at her brother's wife, and Duan's second sister-in-law looked at her sister-in-law. They had a fight before, and after the fight, they both realized that if they made a big fuss, it would make them a laughing stock in front of outsiders.

So now, all they can do is get along well and avoid becoming a laughing stock in front of outsiders.

"Sister-in-law, have you found any clues?"

Aunt Duan shook her head.

"No, second sister-in-law, have you found any clues?"

Aunt Duan also shook her head. They had investigated her husband's past affairs, but they couldn't find out who had gotten pregnant or given birth to an illegitimate daughter.

However, some of these dates are so old that no information could be found.

What do we do now?

Aunt Duan looked at her sister-in-law and asked with some annoyance.

"I don't know either."

If they had known earlier, they could have quietly identified the person. But now...

They both had sons, and over the years, they haven't lost any daughters.

Even if they acknowledge Qin Xiang, who will acknowledge her?

Grandma Duan came out of the room and looked at her two daughters-in-law, whose faces were rather pale.

Have you come up with a solution?

Both daughters-in-law shook their heads.

They are all trying to come up with a solution, and there is one, but they just can't swallow this insult.

"There is a method, it's up to you two to choose."

Upon hearing this, they all looked at their mother-in-law.

"mom."

"Now that things have escalated to this point, we can't leave it unresolved. This matter is already affecting your jobs. The third brother will never acknowledge Qin Xiang again. So it's just the two of you; it's up to you to decide who's willing."

Seeing that both daughters-in-law remained silent, Grandma Duan became even angrier.
