In order not to make Qin Nansong angry, everyone kept it a secret from him about how the old man had been admitted to the hospital. Seeing that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag, Qin Li looked at his mother for help.
But once Qin Nansong, who was always easy-going, got angry, no one could cover it up. Qin Li had no choice but to honestly tell him why the old man suddenly had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital that day.
After hearing this, Qin Nansong's face darkened. He questioned, "Yirou, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, you are so ignorant. You knew that the old man was sad because of the news of Zun'er's death, but you actually ignored the harmony of the family and argued with others in front of the old man just to fight for the company. You even angered the old man so much that he was admitted to the hospital. You!"
Qin Nansong raised his right hand and was about to slap Song Yiru in the face. Qin Li was so scared that she quickly stood in front of her to block Qin Nansong's hand.
Qin Zun, who was standing by, subconsciously took a step forward when he saw the slap about to fall, but then he stopped moving.
This small action was only noticed by Tonghua, who had been paying attention to him. However, when she saw Song Yirou and remembered what she had done to her before, she frowned slightly and hugged the child in her arms tightly.
Qin Li tried hard to plead with Qin Nansong: "Dad, let's talk it over nicely. Mom didn't mean it. Please forgive her this time!"
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the old man spoke up: "Okay, let's forget about the past. I hope that you, my daughter-in-law, can take care of the family peacefully in the future and stop interfering in the company's affairs... As for my granddaughter-in-law, please bring the child over so I can see him."
At this moment, everyone's focus was on Ruoruo. Ruoruo opened her pair of black grape-like eyes and looked around, but suddenly she burst into tears.
“Wow—wow—wow—”
The old man held Ruoruo's little hand and asked lovingly, "Why are you crying suddenly? Weren't you fine just now? Look, Grandpa is tickling you..."
But the old man's actions did not stop Ruoruo from crying. Instead, she cried louder and louder. Qin Zun and Qin Li had to take turns trying to make Ruoruo happy. Even Qin Nansong put aside his previous unhappiness and came forward to show concern for the child's situation.
Qin Li must have discovered something. He said, "Ruoruo, are you talking? Keep quiet first!"
Tonghua held the child and tried to comfort her, but Ruoruo kept shrinking her head and buried it in Tonghua's arms. Whenever someone glanced at her face, she would burst into tears as if she had seen something scary, and she seemed to be muttering, "I'm scared, it hurts..."
Qin Zun looked in the direction where Ruoruo was afraid. Two or three meters away stood his mother, Song Yirou. Qin Zun immediately understood everything. His tone was filled with grief: "Mother, didn't you say that you didn't abuse the child when you hid him before? Why is Ruoruo afraid when she sees you now?!"
Faced with the questioning, Song Yirou was extremely flustered. She tried to defend herself: "I really didn't abuse her. I just pinched her a few times when I was in a bad mood. It didn't cause any harm to the child..."
Tonghua's eyes were red as she shouted angrily, "What a shame! You deliberately hid Ruoruo and used her as a threat to help Qin Li take the CEO position, causing us to be separated for so long. Do you know how much harm this did to a child who was only a few months old? If Qin Zun hadn't persuaded me to suppress this matter, I would have fought you to the death!"
"There's actually such a thing?!"
When Qin Zun came back to life and returned to the Qin family, Qin Nansong asked to see his granddaughter, but was told that Ruoruo was missing, which made him very worried. Later, the child was suddenly found, but Qin Zun never told him where the child was found.
Even the dumbest person could understand what was happening from the few words they saw.
Qin Nansong walked towards Song Yiru with a gloomy face, speaking step by step. He raised his hand and slapped her hard, knocking her to the ground. Qin Li was also ashamed of what Tonghua had said just now and did not have time to stop him.
Qin Nansong, who was usually the most amiable, was now extremely depressed. He uttered a few words through his teeth in anger: "Song Yirou, I really didn't expect you to become so abominable for the position of CEO. As a daughter-in-law, you angered the old man so much that he was hospitalized. This is unfilial. As a mother, you ignored your son and were extremely cold and indifferent. This is unkind. As an elder, you personally killed your granddaughter. You have no love for your child. Today, I want to divorce you!"
After hearing this, Qin Li became extremely anxious. He stepped forward and pleaded, "Dad, you and Mom have been married for more than 30 years. For the sake of our past relationship, you can't do this... Mom, get up and be humble with Dad. I believe Dad will forgive you."
But Song Yirou was stunned by the slap just now. She just sat on the ground and cried, not saying anything.
Anxious Qin Li had no choice but to look to Qin Zun for help, but Qin Zun had already been heartbroken by his mother, not to mention that this time it involved his own child. After asking for help to no avail, Qin Li looked at Tonghua again, but Tonghua just looked at the scene in front of him with indifference. Only when he lowered his head to coax the child did a hint of tenderness appear in his eyes.
In desperation, Qin Li placed his last hope on the old man, but he just sighed deeply and closed his eyes to rest. It was obvious that the old man did not intend to take charge this time.
Qin Nansong's anger continued: "Let's go and complete the formalities now. From now on, you and I will no longer be husband and wife!"
As he was about to pull the other person away, Song Yirou covered her face and cried even harder. She shook her head vigorously and cried, "No, I won't go. The position of Mrs. Qin is mine. I will never divorce!"
"You have to go today, whether you want to or not!"
"No! Unless I die, no one can drive me out of Mrs. Qin's position!"
The two of them were entangled in an endless struggle. Seeing this, Qin Li knelt down with a plop. Even though his knees were hit by the hard floor and he grimaced, he didn't even make a sound.
Qin Li said firmly, "Dad, I know Mom made a big mistake this time. You're determined to divorce her, but you've also seen Mom's attitude. She's always been strong-willed. If you really divorce Mom, you'll undoubtedly force her to death. After all this, I know you don't want to see Mom again. Mom did those things for me, and I can't escape my responsibility. Coincidentally, the company is planning to expand overseas business, and I plan to take Mom to live abroad with me. I hope Dad can agree!"
Qin Li knocked his head so hard that it made a loud bang. This made Song Yirou very distressed: "Li'er, get up, get up quickly!"
But Qin Li remained unmoved and continued to kowtow, not caring even if his head was broken and bleeding.
Qin Nansong couldn't bear it after all, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, take care on your journey."
Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief after getting the promise.
