Chapter 247 Seeking Shang Zexi's Help
Feng Yun also realized that the matter was serious, but she had been through a lot and knew that this matter was definitely not simple.
My daughter will definitely suffer if she goes to the Qin family rashly.
She calmly helped Xia Yue analyze the situation, saying, "Instead of rushing to the Qin family, we should first find out what happened and why the Qin family suddenly changed their minds."
"Yes, we need to find out what happened first." Xia Yue tried to stay calm, filtering various pieces of information in her mind.
In the end, Xia Yue chose Shang Zexi.
Although Shang Zexi was taken away by the Shang family, he had a good relationship with Qin Ye and returned to China ahead of time, so he might know something about it.
More importantly, Xia Yue had met Shang Zexi and knew his character fairly well, knowing that he was reliable.
Therefore, Xia Yue changed her strategy and decided to go to the store first.
Upon arriving at the store, Xia Yue learned that Shang Zexi was in a bad situation and had been imprisoned.
However, because of her identity as "Dr. X," the business owner granted Xia Yue special privileges, allowing her to come in and meet Shang Zexi.
After being confined at home and deprived of his freedom, Shang Zexi began a hunger strike, refusing to eat or bathe, and becoming extremely unkempt.
He wanted to force his family to compromise in this way.
However, the merchants didn't care about his little tricks at all. After Shang Zexi fainted from hunger, they gave him a nutritional injection to keep him alive.
If you don't shower or wash your face, then you can just let yourself stink; after all, it's you who's suffering from the stench.
When Xia Yue came to see Shang Zexi, she thought she had come to the wrong place at first glance. Why did she smell strange?
Upon seeing Xia Yue, Shang Zexi was overjoyed and his first words were, "Sister-in-law! What brings you here? How has Xiangxiang been lately?"
"Xiangxiang is fine. She came back to China with me today. She's staying at the Shen family's house. Don't worry about her," Xia Yue explained loudly.
Upon hearing this, Shang Zexi was not reassured; instead, he became even more anxious.
“Sometimes business people are unscrupulous. If Xiangxiang comes to me after returning to China and gets into a conflict with the business, it will be troublesome. Souzi, you must help me persuade her to stay,” Shang Zexi said again.
Xia Yue nodded in agreement, saying that she would take good care of Shen Xiangxiang, and then began to talk about Qin Yeting.
"Do you know if something's happened to the Qin family lately? Ah Ting went back to the Qin family today and we haven't heard from him since. Tonight, the Qin family's butler even brought me divorce papers," Xia Yue said succinctly.
Shang Zexi's eyes widened, clearly not believing it.
He was only locked up for a few days, and the world seemed to have changed completely.
He also pinned his hopes of reconciling with Xiangxiang on Qin Yeting and his sister-in-law.
If these two break up, then he and Xiangxiang are probably in trouble too!
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute, let me sort this out." Shang Zexi took a deep breath and thought seriously.
Xia Yue waited quietly, letting Shang Zexi think it over slowly.
But after ten minutes, Shang Zexi still couldn't figure it out.
Qin Laoda suffers from intermittent mental illness, and only his sister-in-law can control him during each episode. The Qin family patriarch is also aware of this.
The ideal situation is for the sister-in-law to marry the eldest son.
But Shang Zexi really didn't understand why the Qin family suddenly made his sister-in-law divorce his eldest son.
Of course, most importantly, he has been confined to his home recently and is not allowed to experience anything outside, so Shang Zexi knows nothing about it.
He could only send someone to invite someone he could somewhat trust, Master Shang.
"Second Uncle, has something big happened in the Qin family recently? Could you tell us?" Shang Zexi asked.
It was rare to see Shang Zexi lower his head. This kid had been causing a huge commotion lately, going on a hunger strike and refusing to eat. He was practically surviving on forced nutritional supplements.
So he proposed a deal.
“I can tell you the truth, but you have to eat properly and take proper baths from now on. You smell worse than a beggar. I really don’t know how Dr. X can stand it.” Second Master Shang was prepared when he came in, wearing a mask, which is why he continued to talk to Shang Zexi.
Shang Zexi looked somewhat embarrassed and glanced at Xia Yue with apologetic expression.
Xia Yue only wanted to find Qin Yeting and didn't care about these trivial matters. She just urged Shang Zexi, "Please agree quickly!"
"Fine, fine, I agree, is that alright?" Shang Zexi replied irritably.
Xia Yue continued to look at Master Shang.
The Second Master Shang stopped being vague and directly told Xia Yue about Ye Ya's release from the mental hospital and the Ye family's plan to send a new girl to marry Qin Yeting.
"Once the bride is chosen, the Qin family will probably make an official announcement. They have already arranged for people to erase everything from the internet."
Doctor Xia, although you possess remarkable medical skills, you are still somewhat inferior to the reclusive Ye family.
The Qin family is driven by profit. I think you shouldn't force the issue; otherwise, they might turn their backs on you, and you could easily face death.
Master Shang earnestly advised him.
Shang Zexi said sarcastically, "The Shang family is no better than the Qin family. You went to great lengths to break me and Xiangxiang up!"
"You brat! This is for your own good! You and that girl are incompatible according to your birth charts, she'll kill you, that's a completely different matter!" Master Shang explained loudly.
Xia Yue could no longer hear what the merchants were arguing about.
Her mind was filled with the thought that Qin Yeting was about to marry someone else and part ways with her.
Why is this happening?
She just returned to China, how could things have changed so much?
Xia Yue's heart clenched, and even her breathing became erratic.
Her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do.
Finally, Shang Zexi came to his senses and quickly stopped arguing, trying to persuade Xia Yue, "Sister-in-law, Qin Laoda's feelings for you are as clear as day. He's practically willing to give his life for you. You mustn't give up on him!"
Xia Yue didn't want to give up, but reality didn't allow her to make her own decisions.
Even if she wanted to see Qin Yeting now, she couldn't.
Shang Zexi guessed what Xia Yue was thinking, and he whispered to her, "Sister-in-law, don't forget you know how to disguise yourself. At worst, you can disguise yourself as me and go to the Qin family. The Qin family won't stop me!"
Shang Zexi gave Xia Yue some advice.
Xia Yue was at her wit's end, but after hearing this, she finally found a glimmer of hope.
She thought about it and realized that this was the only way.
"Shang Zexi, thank you." Xia Yue said sincerely.
Shang Zexi chuckled, "No need to thank me, sister-in-law. I'm waiting for you and the boss to get married so you can help me out too."
"I will definitely help!" Xia Yue immediately agreed.
"Ahem!" Second Master Shang coughed lightly, unable to resist reminding him, "Do you think I'm deaf? You're actually discussing these things in front of me, aren't you afraid I'll tell the Qin family?"
"Second Uncle, I know you're on our side. Some things were just done because of family reasons, and we had no choice but to do them." Shang Zexi hugged Second Master Shang's leg and said nice things.
Master Shang kept a straight face and didn't want to pay any attention to the young man.
Xia Yue bowed to Master Shang and said firmly, "Master Shang, please be lenient!"
