Chapter 914: Not Stupid, Just Greedy
Unfortunately, he had high hopes but never considered that most rich girls, unless they were spoiled and pampered from childhood, would not be interested in someone like him who was just a pretty face.
Qiu Ershen's younger brother ultimately failed to realize his life's ambition of living off a woman, and was instead forced to marry Wang Dingcai's mother after she became pregnant.
Even after marriage, she continued her extramarital affairs, but after all these years of promiscuity, she was unable to have any children. She had no choice but to compromise and wait it out with Wang Dingcai's mother.
In the eyes of Qiu Ershen's brother, his wife's only purpose was to give birth to and raise sons. Similarly, the Wang family elders looked down on their daughter-in-law, who had no social standing or background and could not help their son or the family.
Although she loved her grandson, she was extremely dissatisfied with his mother. One can imagine how difficult it must have been for Mrs. Wang in the Wang family.
It took Qiu Ershen's younger brother more than ten years to accept the fact that he would never be able to marry a rich young lady who could satisfy him, and he then placed his hopes on his son.
Aunt Qiu had heard her brother and parents mention more than once that they wanted to find Wang Dingcai a wealthy and powerful young lady like the Qiu family.
Aunt Qiu just listened and let it go, but she always laughed at this family for daydreaming in her heart.
But the Wang family certainly doesn't think so. Not only do they not think so, but Wang Dingcai himself probably doesn't think so either.
Aunt Qiu had secretly investigated Ruan Xiaoyu's family situation when her son brought her back. She found out that Ruan Xiaoyu's family situation was just as bad as her brother's wife's.
Their family is quite open-minded and thinks that their son's preference is the most important thing, so they didn't pay much attention to this.
The Wang family is different. Her younger brother stumbled once with a woman, how could she let her son repeat his mistake?
“If Miss Ye hadn’t mentioned it, I really wouldn’t have remembered. A month ago, when that old woman called me asking for money, she did seem to have boasted about it. Wang Dingcai went on blind dates those days and apparently fell for a young lady from a prominent family based on her looks.”
"A month ago? Impossible! Dingcai wouldn't do this to me!" Ruan Xiaoyu screamed. "We've been together for almost three years. I've sacrificed so much for him, even helped him harm people. How could he do this to me? You're lying to me! Yes, you must be lying to me!"
Listening to Aunt Qiu's confident tone, and then thinking about how Ye Wanxi had just casually said a few words that exposed all their plans, causing months of hard work to go down the drain in an instant, Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel panicked.
He said he didn't believe it, but his heart was already wavering, and his words gradually became incoherent: "This is not true, this is not true. Brother Dingcai told me that once this is done, he will become an ordinary person and will no longer have to worry about going to the hospital for every headache or fever."
"He also said that as soon as his aunt's son died, his grandparents would suggest that he be adopted by his aunt's family. At that time, all the property of both families would be his. He would have a lot of money and would make me live a rich and happy life. He promised, he promised..."
At first, Aunt Qiu and the others felt sorry for her when they heard her muttering to herself, but after hearing it all, they almost grabbed weapons and beat her up.
So this is what this family was planning: they killed her son and then wanted her money. They really treated her family like a charity or an ATM!
Aunt Qiu was so angry she laughed: "You actually believe such nonsense? I don't know whether to call you stupid or naive. Let alone the fact that my husband and I are still young, even if we lose Zhiming, we can try to have another one. We would never be so stupid as to adopt a child from our maternal family. Even if we wanted to adopt, the Qiu family has plenty of children. Why would we need to adopt a child from our maternal family, especially one from a family we have no feelings for and are practically enemies with?"
Qiu Linshan sneered, seeing through Ruan Xiaoyu's little scheme at a glance: "Second Aunt, if you ask me, she's not stupid, nor is she naive, she's greedy. I was just thinking, that boy from the Wang family isn't as good-looking as Zhiming, nor does he have the good temper or the money. How could someone be so blind as to turn down such a good man like Zhiming and instead hang herself on such a crooked tree?"
"Now I understand. This Miss Ruan looks quite petite, but she has quite an appetite. She wants to eat at two different places by herself. Isn't she afraid of choking herself to death?"
Ruan Xiaoyu's face turned extremely ugly after being humiliated by Qiu Linshan, and her heart was filled with hatred, thinking that she would take revenge one day.
At this moment, she still couldn't figure out the situation. The reason why the Qiu family had been kind to her before was entirely because she was Qiu Zhiming's stolen girlfriend.
Now that the truth is out, she's already on the Qiu family's blacklist, so how could the Qiu family possibly be lenient with her?
What awaits her in the future is a revenge she cannot even imagine.
Brother Qiu led his men to rescue the people, and Qiu Zhiming and the others were anxious and worried, but there was nothing they could do.
Fortunately, the information provided by Ye Wanxi was reliable, and Brother Qiu and the people he brought were also reliable.
After a night of effort, they finally returned to the hospital in the early hours of the next morning with a slightly disheveled and haggard girl.
Upon receiving the news, Qiu Linshan and others rushed to the hospital entrance to greet them.
Having just experienced a thrilling escape, Yan Yuchen was startled to suddenly encounter a group of people as soon as she got off the bus.
This was also the first time the Qiu family had seen this girl who only existed in Qiu Zhiming's descriptions.
The girl wasn't very tall, probably around 1.5 meters, less than 1.6 meters. She was very thin, wearing clothes that weren't very new, had an oval face, and long hair.
Perhaps because she had suffered some hardship after being captured, her complexion was not very good, her hair was a bit messy, and she looked pitiful, like an abandoned little animal.
Perhaps unaccustomed to being watched by so many people, the girl subconsciously shrank back and lowered her head, avoiding eye contact.
There was unease, doubt, and a hint of worry in his clear eyes.
She looked at Brother Qiu for help, hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but raise her hand and gesture a few times.
Unfortunately, Brother Qiu had never met someone like her before and didn't know sign language, so he couldn't figure it out even after watching for a long time.
In the end, Qiu Linshan reacted quickly and took the initiative to ask, "You want to know where Zhiming is and how he is now, right?"
The little girl suddenly stopped what she was doing, her face flushed, but she still mustered up the courage to nod.
Aunt Qiu's heart softened when she saw this, and she took the initiative to warmly hold her hand and said, "Zhiming is alright. He was just about to come downstairs with us to pick you up, but we stopped him. Don't be afraid, I'm his mother, and I'll take you to see him right away."
