Duan Meiyuan had always been very dissatisfied with the situation the Qin family had caused for the Yu family.
The Qin family's situation was actually not good because of the death of Old Madam Qin and Qin Manshu's previous misappropriation of funds from Qin's Pharmaceutical Group.
Qin Manshu committed suicide, and it was revealed that Qin Manshu was the mastermind behind Baishi Pharmaceutical. After Qin Manshu's previous crimes of intentional homicide and illegal detention were exposed, the Qin family's shares were in a bad state, and the hospital's business was not doing well. After Qin's wife recognized her biological daughter, she began to sell some of the assets under the Qin family's name.
Before Dong Yanqing, as the true eldest daughter of the Qin family, was brought back to the Qin family, she had already spent a long time in a mental hospital. When she was brought back, she did not get along well with Madam Qin. The maternal love and filial piety that Madam Qin had imagined did not appear. Dong Yanqing even resented Madam Qin for not bringing her back sooner so that she could suffer so much. She even felt that the Qin family was ruined and was still restricted in many ways. In particular, Madam Qin's mental illness and Dong Yanqing's previous history of mental illness made things difficult for the Qin family.
Madam Qin's family is quite scheming and even wants to use her to control the Qin family.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad the Qin family is, it still has a lot of assets. If all the Qin family's assets were sold, they would be able to live a life of ease. However, after being manipulated and controlled by Qin Manshu for so many years, and after Qin Madam endured so much humiliation, her condition improved significantly after Qin Manshu left, and she received treatment and evaluation.
Madam Qin regained her autonomy and was no longer classified as a person with limited capacity for civil conduct due to her illness. After taking control of the Qin family, she was no fool. Especially after the period when she was controlled and manipulated by Qin Manshu, Madam Qin suffered too much. She would never allow herself to be in such a predicament again. Naturally, she tried her best to find a new backer for the Qin family.
She also started taking Dong Yanqing to some social occasions. She planned to do everything she could to tell everyone that it was all Qin Manshu's fault, and that she and her daughter were also victims. She also said that if anyone was willing to help the Qin family, the Qin family would be willing to give up some of the shares of the Qin Group.
Madam Qin's thoughts were somewhat similar to Duan Meiyuan's, and they happened to be attending a cocktail party as VIPs.
At the party, Madam Qin had tried her best to integrate into the circle of wealthy ladies. This was not an easy task. Madam Qin's power had been sidelined for so long. In the past, many events were attended by the old lady herself or by Qin Manshu on behalf of the Qin family. Although Madam Qin was a regular at these parties a few years ago, she had been forced to take medication by Qin Manshu in recent years, and her mental state had been very poor. Now, looking at the lively party, she felt dizzy after walking a few steps.
Mrs. Qin was somewhat exhausted, and was invited to the lounge by the wife of another dean who had previously cooperated with the Qin family.
Madam Qin showed a grateful expression, but when she pushed open the door and appeared in the VIP lounge with Madam Qian, the dean's wife, the ladies present had different expressions.
Duan Meiyuan, who had always occupied the central position but was now relegated to a supporting role, also had a subtle change in her expression, looking at Madam Qin with some dissatisfaction.
So these ladies were all here; she had been wondering why the party seemed to be all men.
Madam Qin immediately pushed Dong Yanqing to the forefront, "Long time no see, ladies. This is my daughter Yanqing. There was a bit of an accident before. I'm bringing Yanqing out to meet everyone now. Yanqing, quickly greet your aunties."
Dong Yanqing immediately lowered her head obediently and said meekly, "Hello, aunties."
Duan Meiyuan glanced at Dong Yanqing and sneered inwardly. The other ladies also looked at her with a slightly critical eye. One of them, whose family was in the securities and finance industry and who was now married to the president of a private bank, suddenly laughed and said, "You even brought your daughter with you. That's rare. Our daughters don't like to come to our elders' gatherings anymore. They all have their own social circles and are having a great time. Yanqing is really well-behaved. She's one of the few girls who is willing to come to the party with her family."
A slight translation of this is that Dong Yanqing has already been abandoned by the younger generation of socialites, and is rushing here to acknowledge someone, even calling herself "auntie."
Duan Meiyuan was delighted to hear this. She glanced at Madam Qin and said slowly, "I didn't expect to see Madam Qin today. I thought she was still staying at the Qin family home and didn't attend events casually."
This was a veiled jab at Madam Qin for having a mental illness and being confined to the Qin family by Old Madam Qin, which made Madam Qin's face turn ugly.
