Chapter 483 Breakup
After half a cup of tea, Mr. Qin finally put down the teacup in his hand. Mr. Chen, who was already nauseous with a stomach full of tea, also quickly put down the teacup and looked at Mr. Qin anxiously.
"Brother Dahai, the main reason I came this time is to ask my wife to explain to you some of the past events between her and Jingxiu, so as to avoid any misunderstandings."
Mr. Qin ignored Mr. Chen and looked straight at Mrs. Chen with his sharp old eyes.
Mrs. Chen's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to meet the other person's eyes. She felt guilty and uneasy as if her thoughts were seen through.
"How did you and Jingxiu know each other?"
Hearing the low and majestic voice of Mr. Qin, Mrs. Chen calmed herself down and repeated what she had said to the Chen father and son last night.
After hearing this, Mr. Qin didn't say anything immediately.
On the surface, there was nothing wrong with what Mrs. Chen said. The time and events were similar to the year Qin Jingxiu was injured. Old Master Qin knew his son very well. He was passionate and ambitious, and he was capable of pretending to have a relationship with a woman in order to complete his mission and catch the criminal.
But Mr. Qin was skeptical about Mrs. Chen's claim that Qin Jingxiu had sex with her while drunk.
Not to mention that Qin Jingxiu did not have a habit of drinking. With his steady and calm personality since childhood, it was impossible for him to get drunk while performing a mission.
Unfortunately, Qin Jingxiu was seriously injured in the explosion while trying to save people during that mission. After waking up, he lost some of his memories, which happened to include the part with Mrs. Chen.
Seeing that Mr. Qin was silent and thoughtful after listening to her explanation, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Originally, she used the excuse that Qin Jingxiu was drunk last night just to appease the father and son of the Chen family, but she didn't expect to hear from the old man of the Chen family a piece of good news that was like God's help to her.
——Qin Jingxiu was injured and lost some of his memory.
The Chen family father and son speculated that Qin Jingxiu did not go to City B to find her after waking up, and it was very likely that he had lost his memory and forgot about her.
Mrs. Chen nervously observed Mr. Qin's reaction. If Mr. Qin believed what she said, it would mean that Qin Jingxiu had really forgotten his past with her.
Otherwise, her lies would be immediately exposed by Mr. Qin.
Mrs. Chen's heart was pounding and her hands were shaking slightly because she was too nervous.
Although Mr. Qin was in deep thought, the old butler Uncle Fu behind him did not miss any subtle expressions and movements of Mrs. Chen, and he had some thoughts in his mind.
"I already know what happened. Jingxiu went out of town for something important and will not be back for some time. Tang Shan, I hope you can keep this a secret for now and make plans after Jingxiu and Qiqi come back."
Mrs. Chen dared not to respond, and she agreed with great fear and trepidation: "I will, Mr. Qin, please rest assured."
Old Master Chen also echoed: "Except for me and Yuanhong, as well as you and Jingxiu, no one else knows about this matter. Not even me, your daughter-in-law."
Old Master Chen pointed at Madam Chen and said with a sigh, "Before yesterday, she didn't know that Qiqi's biological father was actually the second son of Brother Dahai. She came to the capital to find Jingxiu, but Jingxiu was seriously injured and had been lying in the hospital for several years. Alas, it's just fate."
Old Master Qin did not respond to Chen Guoan's words. He calmly picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea was cold and a little bitter. He frowned and put the tea back on the coffee table. Then he looked up at Chen Guoan, who looked embarrassed because he did not get a response from him.
"Guo'an, when Shao Chen attacked the Chen family's business, you came to me and I didn't refuse. In order to help you intercede, I even sacrificed Jingshu's marriage.
Today you brought your daughter-in-law here and explained in person the past between her and Jingxiu. I appreciate your kindness.
It’s just that I’m old and not in good health. The doctor said I need to rest and recuperate. You don’t need to come again if nothing happens in the future.”
Chen Guoan was horrified after hearing this. His face turned pale and he cried out in a daze, "Brother Dahai..."
Old Master Qin waved his hand and said, "Don't call me big brother anymore. I don't deserve it.
I heard that Yuanhong and your daughter-in-law have a harmonious relationship and love each other very much. Even for the sake of their marriage, the Qin and Chen families should not have any more contact. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders? Even if you don't consider them, you have to consider the impact of the rumors outside on Qiqi. No matter what, I won't let Qiqi be caught in the middle and be criticized. "
The Qin and Chen families have been friends for many years, but it turns out that the young ladies of the two families are sisters with the same mother but different fathers. Such a bloody life experience and the entanglement between two men and one woman caused much more sensation than the breaking off of engagement of Qin Jingshu, the number one socialite.
Originally, if the Qin family had low-key recognized Tang Qi and did not announce her biological mother, there would naturally be less discussion and rumors.
But Tang Qi's face is 80% similar to Madam Chen. Even if the Qin and Chen families keep the secret, the fact that Madam Chen is Tang Qi's biological mother will be exposed sooner or later.
Madam Chen is a well-known stunning beauty in the circle of wealthy ladies in the imperial capital. Her appearance is well known to everyone in the upper class circle. Even if she goes abroad for plastic surgery, it will be of no use.

As for asking Tang Qi, who had hardly appeared in the upper class circles of the imperial capital, to have plastic surgery? Haha, did they think that Mr. Qin, Qin Jingxiu, Mo Shaochen and other big men were all dead? Chen Guoan was mentally prepared for the Qin family to sever ties with his Chen family. The Qin family had been in a lot of trouble before, which almost affected Qin Jingli's future. He chose to protect himself and keep a distance from the Qin family.
Moreover, he fully believed that his daughter-in-law could coax Tang Qi into the Chen family. Once Tang Qi became the daughter of the Chen family, the Chen family would be able to legitimately associate with Mo Shaochen, and even become related by marriage with the Mo family, thus becoming the head of the four major families.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
Chen Guoan's plans and ambitions are destined to be a mirage.
Not only did he fail to realize his beautiful dream, but he also made himself miserable and unable to back down.
Chen Guoan appears to be easy-going and cheerful on the surface, but he is actually ambitious in his heart. He knows very well that this is a critical moment related to the future of the Chen family. If the Chen family can pass this test with Qin Dahai, the Chen family will be stable, but if not, the Chen family will be in danger.
He no longer cared about his dignity. He lowered his posture and tried to explain to Qin Dahai in an earnest tone: "Old Qin, the Qin family encountered difficulties before, and the Chen family did not lend a helping hand. I failed you and the friendship between the Qin and Chen families. I don't beg you to forgive me, but Tang Shan is Tang Qi's biological mother. The blood relationship is thicker than water. How can you just break it off?"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it. Qin Dahai's face suddenly darkened when he heard this.
Qin Dahai appears to be upright and heroic, but he is actually very sentimental and nostalgic.
Chen Guoan was also sure of this, so he brought his daughter-in-law with him, hoping that Qin Dahai would be lenient towards the Chen family because his daughter-in-law is the biological mother of the second daughter of the Qin family.
But Chen Guoan only thought about his own interests, and did not understand Qin Dahai's love and affection for his little granddaughter.
Mrs. Chen was greedy for wealth and fame, so she abandoned her young daughter in City B and ignored her for 17 years. As a result, her little granddaughter was kicked around like a ball by the two Tang brothers, and suffered from bullying since childhood. Although she was talented and had excellent grades, she was sent to a third-rate vocational high school by her greedy and mean elders, which almost ruined her life.
