Chapter 17 - Counterattack

Shi Feiye didn't really know Qin Buliu well, but she believed the villain in the original novel wasn't one to live off others. In fact, if he hadn't been so unwilling to give in, he wouldn't have faced so many hardships and risks. How could such a person accept using his marriage as a bargaining chip in exchange for a comeback? At least not in the short term.

As for Pao Hui's marriage to Qin Buzhu, it was purely out of gratitude. Qin Buzhu had chosen to accept it, both for his grandfather and for his reputation. This was different from Zhong Fei's situation. Others wouldn't say anything about him, only that he was a man of integrity. He had always been the stronger party, and it didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

In reality, Shi Feiye didn't mind divorcing Qin Buzhu, but she definitely wasn't being instigated by others to use his good intentions as an excuse to divorce him. She had made it clear that whatever Qin Buzhu wanted was his own business, and she absolutely respected his choice.

"You just want to hold him back and not divorce him!" Zhong Fei felt as if her tail had been stepped on and suddenly exploded:

"How can you be so selfish, woman? Brother Qin has done everything for you, and now he finally has a chance, but you want to kill it with your own hands. You are so disgusting!"

"I feel sick? Miss Zhong, I have been polite enough to you." Shi Feiye's face suddenly turned cold:

"Don't say you suddenly came here today and said a bunch of inappropriate things. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were trying to be a mistress and destroy someone else's family. When did it become the turn of outsiders to interfere in the marriage between Qin Buzhu and me? Okay, let's say you were kind enough to help Qin Buzhu, but you shouldn't have come to me and said all this. If you want to help him, go and tell him. I can't make decisions for him, and I won't cling to him and refuse to divorce."

"you--"

Shi Feiye didn't give her a chance to speak:

"If he truly loved you, why didn't you get married before Grandpa Qin found me? If your feelings weren't there, then why weren't you even a couple? You keep saying he's not the kind of person who would betray his friends, but your actions now clearly betray him on his behalf. And you're simply trying to satisfy your own feelings for him without even considering his specific issues. I'm sorry, but I can't see any deep affection for him in you. I only see a woman who wants to satisfy her own selfish desires and thinks she's deeply affectionate."

Zhong Fei's face flushed with anger: "You, what right do you have to say that? You are a woman who can't do anything except spending money, what right do you have to say that to me?"

"Just because I am still his wife in name only, as long as I am his wife, I have the right to say anything to anyone who wants to interfere with our marriage." Shi Feiye held his head high and said:

"Yes, I used to only spend money on buying things and never helped him with anything, but he agreed to let me buy things. He's an adult, and a mature man who is responsible for the entire Qin Group. He should have thought all these things through when he married me. He doesn't mind, so why are you in such a hurry? If you want to marry him, then tell him. As long as you can reach a consensus with him, I will divorce him without saying a word. I will never drag him down, let alone make things difficult for him. Tell me right here that I won't agree."
