Chapter 245 The Qin family patriarch orders Qin Yeting to divorce.
Seeing this, Feng Yun felt quite guilty.
Back then, she had no choice but to leave China secretly, taking her newborn son with her, leaving behind her daughter and husband.
She felt she had let down Old Madam Xia and had no face to call her "Mom" again.
She said somewhat reservedly, "Madam, hello, it's been a long time."
"It has been a long time, almost twenty years. You look like you've only matured a bit, but I've grown old," Madam Xia said softly.
Every daughter-in-law will subconsciously feel a few subtle emotions when she sees her mother-in-law.
Feng Yun immediately praised, "No, you are as elegant as ever, and even the wrinkles on your face haven't changed much."
"It's all thanks to your wonderful daughter who took good care of my health, otherwise I would have gone to meet my old man in the underworld long ago." Madam Xia's words sounded like praise, but also like reproach.
Feng Yun could only look to her daughter, pleading for help with her eyes.
Xia Yue quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Grandma, Mom came to China to attend my wedding, and my brother will be coming soon too. Aren't you happy?"
Hearing that her granddaughter was getting married and that she would also get to see her grandson whom she had never met before, Madam Xia's expression finally improved.
Moreover, compared to Liu Meilan, another heartless and cold-blooded daughter-in-law, Feng Yun is already quite good.
"Alright, let's go home first. I've asked the housekeeper to make you some chicken soup to help you recover. You've lost so much weight in the few months I've seen you." Old Madam Xia looked at her granddaughter with heartache.
Xia Yue replied with a smile, "Okay, I promise I'll drink three bowls!"
Xia Yue chatted and laughed with her grandmother, and the matter of Feng Yun was put behind them.
Xia Yue then introduced Bai Yan and her mother. Old Madam Xia warmly welcomed them, and everyone happily returned to the Xia family home.
However, the situation is somewhat complicated for Qin Yeting.
After he returned, his bodyguards were left in the outer courtyard and were not allowed to enter. They were only allowed to bring one of his special assistants, Zhou, and were not allowed to carry weapons.
Qin Yeting is the head of the Qin family, and he is naturally unhappy that he has to undergo such a strict review as if he were an outsider when he returns to his own home.
He ignored the guards and, with his assistant Zhou and real guns and ammunition, continued forward.
The Qin family's guards dared not stop them too forcefully and had no choice but to let them pass.
Upon arriving at the inner courtyard, Qin Yeting smelled a familiar sandalwood scent.
This is sandalwood that his mother often used. It's said to have calming and soothing properties, and he often smelled it when he was a child.
But because his mother always ordered too much, the smell was too strong, and Qin Yeting found it pungent.
Since the mother was admitted to the mental hospital, the Qin family has never lit this kind of incense again.
Now, smelling it again, Qin Yeting felt an indescribable feeling.
Perhaps it was a feeling of being more timid the closer one gets to home, so Qin Yeting slowed down his pace.
After entering the main hall of the inner courtyard, he saw two people sitting in the main seat.
One is the old patriarch of the Qin family, Ye Ye, and the other is his mother, Ye Ya, who is also the first wife of the Qin family.
Even though he had been sent to a mental hospital by the Qin family and Mr. Qin hated his wife for her philandering, he didn't dare to divorce her directly.
"Master, Madam." Assistant Zhou greeted the two of them with a respectful bow.
The old patriarch Qin waved his hand, signaling Assistant Zhou to step back, as they were family members who had something to discuss.
Assistant Zhou tactfully left.
After only three people remained in the hall, Qin Yeting still did not speak, but stared intently at the middle-aged woman with a scar on her face.
She was his biological mother, by blood, yet she felt strangely unfamiliar to him.
Seeing this, the Qin family head urged, "Ye Ting, why don't you greet him? Even if you don't recognize your mother, you should at least recognize your grandfather, right? Have you forgotten all the lessons the Qin family has taught you over the years?"
“Grandpa,” Qin Yeting replied immediately.
Ye Ya smiled faintly, "Father, Ting'er and I haven't seen each other for many years, so it's inevitable that we'll be a little awkward. We'll be fine in a few days."
After saying that, Ye Ya turned to Qin Yeting and said, "Ting'er, as someone who's been through this, let your mother take a good look at you. You've grown so tall and big now, I almost don't recognize you anymore."
Ye Ya was just like a gentle and loving mother, her heart and eyes were full of her son.
However, Qin Yeting had an indelible psychological shadow. When he looked at this woman, he could only recall the cruel memories of being whipped, choked, and locked in a dark room by her when he was a child.
Although he was no longer that fragile child, he still resisted and feared the mother in front of him.
Seeing this, Ye Ya didn't insist any further. She simply touched the scar on her face and said with some self-consciousness, "It's because I'm too ugly, and now I'm old. It's normal that you don't like me."
"Eldest daughter-in-law, please don't say that. Ye Ting just hasn't gotten used to it yet," Old Master Qin said, trying to smooth things over.
Qin Yeting saw a hint of fear and ingratiation in his grandfather's expression.
Why would Grandpa have such feelings towards Mother?
Before Qin Yeting could figure it out, the Qin family patriarch dropped another bombshell, "Yeting, there's something I need to tell you when I called you back this time."
Your mother's family is the Ye family, one of the three oldest and most reclusive families in China. Almost all the mistresses of our Qin family are chosen from the Ye family.
Your deceased grandmother and your mother were both women from the Ye family.
Previously, your mother had health problems, and your grandmother passed away early, so our relationship with the Ye family was severed.
But now that your eldest daughter-in-law has recovered her mental state, you must follow the Qin family rules and marry a woman from the Ye family in order to become the head of the Qin family.
"I think you should cancel your marriage to that girl from the Xia family. You only got a marriage certificate, not a wedding ceremony, so it doesn't count as a formal marriage."
After saying this, the old patriarch Qin glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law, Ye Ya, with a rather cautious look.
Only after confirming that Ye Ya's expression was normal did he breathe a sigh of relief.
But Qin Yeting was immediately displeased upon hearing this!
Should we make him divorce Xiaoyue'er?
On what grounds?
That's utter nonsense!
Not even in the next life!
"Grandpa, are you getting senile?" Qin Yeting retorted irritably. "Weren't you very satisfied with Xiaoyue back then? Now you're suddenly going back on your word. To put it nicely, you're being disrespectful to your elders; to put it bluntly, you're being opportunistic and forgetting your principles!"
Once the mother recovered from her mental illness, she was brought back into the family.
The Ye family's network of connections can still be used, yet they're making him marry a woman from the Ye family again—how ridiculous!
He is not a puppet to be manipulated by his family!
"Yes, Xia Yue has now connected with the Feng family and is considered a good girl from a good family background, which can be of help to you."
However, the marriage alliance between the Qin and Ye families is a tacit understanding that has existed for hundreds of years!
Your name is Qin Yeting. The character "Ye" is a homophone for "Ye" (leaf). Your birth destined you to bear this responsibility.
If you want to continue to control the Qin family and the Q organization, and to deal with the Drug organization, you must make some sacrifices!
If you don't agree, you're not leaving today!
The old patriarch of the Qin family raised his voice and uttered harsh words, his tone full of threat.
