Investors withdrew their funds, authorities ordered back taxes, cash flow dried up, projects were forced to stop, and the Qin Group was plunged into dire straits.
Qin's father ran around every day trying to find help, and even Qin Wei was not spared, being ordered by her father to seek help from her admirers.
However, the press conference held by Qin's parents, coupled with the heated argument between the father and daughters in the underground parking lot, destroyed the image that Qin Wei had cultivated over many years.
The men who fell for Qin Wei were all spoiled brats, lacking common sense. When they liked her, they truly liked her, but when they didn't, they changed their minds just as easily, showing no mercy.
The father and daughter were repeatedly turned down and had nowhere to turn for help.
Even Qin's mother sought help from her group of wealthy women, but was refused.
Left with no other choice, the family of three approached Qin Wan again...
The Huo family villa.
Upon learning of the Qin family's arrival from the bodyguard, Huo Yan simply said, "I'll listen to Madam," and ended the call, returning to the meeting.
The Huo Family Hall.
Qin Wan sat on the sofa, legs crossed, eating fruit while watching a show, looking quite relaxed.
Seeing how well she was living, Qin Wei's face was filled with jealousy.
On what grounds?
What makes Qin Wan think she can live a better life than her?
Qin Wan was clearly inferior to her in every way from childhood to adulthood.
She is the person her parents love and care about most.
Even after growing up, she was still the one who was adored and fawned over by boys.
Qin Wan was always the one who was suppressed by her and overshadowed by her brilliance.
Now, because she made one wrong decision, her and Qin Wan's positions have been completely reversed.
Huo Yan!
The problem lies with this man.
If Huo Yan could change his mind, if she could win Huo Yan back, could her and Qin Wan's fates return to the beginning?
Thinking of this, Qin Wei's expression changed in countless ways, a truly fascinating display.
"Wanwan, how have you been feeling lately? Are you feeling any better? What did the doctor say?"
"By the way, how is Huo Yan treating you? Has he ever made you suffer any injustice?"
"Are you getting used to living at the Huo family's house? Would you like to come home with your parents for a few days?"
"You've grown up so much, and this is the first time you've been away from home for so long. Your parents are so worried. You're such a child, you don't even know to come home and visit."
It has to be said, Qin's mother is truly shameless.
Upon seeing Qin Wan, she seemed to forget all the unpleasantness that had happened before. She greeted her with a smile, warmly sat down next to Qin Wan, and took Qin Wan's hand with a gentle, motherly expression.
Various insincere and ingratiating words kept pouring out.
On the contrary, Qin Wei still looked resentful. Only under the threat and glare of her father did she reluctantly step forward to approach Qin Wan.
"Sister, it's been a long time..." Qin Wei forced a smile, looking like she was being coerced.
"You're here to see Huo Yan, right? He's not home," Qin Wan said dismissively, glancing at the three of them.
"You child, what are you saying? We came here today especially to see you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and looked at the three of them with surprise. "Look at me? What's so interesting about me? I've lived in the Qin family for over twenty years, and I've never seen you give me a second glance or show me any special attention."
"Why are you all suddenly so fond of me after I've only been married for less than two months?" As she spoke, Qin Wan tilted her head and began to count on her fingers with a serious expression.
"Let me do the math. The number of phone calls and messages you've sent me in the last two months is more than the total number of times I've received in the Qin family over the past twenty years."
Qin's father: "..."
Qin's mother: "..."
Seeing the stiff and awkward expressions on Qin's parents' faces, Qin Wei felt incredibly satisfied.
Although she was also rebuked by Qin Wan, she didn't care since she and Qin Wan didn't get along in the first place.
On the contrary, Qin Wei's parents have recently become biased towards Qin Wan, and even forced her to please Qin Wan, which has made Qin Wei feel somewhat devastated and unable to accept it.
"Get to the point. I'm not very patient." Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and casually picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth.
Mr. and Mrs. Qin exchanged a glance, their faces showing undisguised embarrassment. However, because they needed their help, they had no choice but to suppress their anger and begin to recount their hardships.
“Wanwan, although you are now the young mistress of the Huo family, no matter what, a woman’s family is still very important.”
“Especially for a marriage between wealthy families like ours, if you don’t have a powerful maternal family as a backer, your position in the Huo family will be precarious if Huo Yan changes his mind one day.”
"Your parents only have two daughters, you and Weiwei. The Qin family will belong to you and Weiwei sooner or later."
"Although you two sisters had some unpleasantness in the past, no matter what, you are still blood-related sisters. In the future, you should help each other and overcome difficulties together."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan couldn't help but chuckle and retort, "My own sister who's trying to steal my man?"
Qin's mother: "..."
"I'm the one who's engaged to Huo Yan! You're the one trying to steal my man, okay?" Qin Wei couldn't hold back her temper and started arguing with Qin Wan.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Oh? Is that so?"
When Qin Wei met Qin Wan's piercing gaze, which seemed to see through everything, her eyes flickered, and she felt a momentary guiltyness, but she quickly suppressed it.
"That's how it is."
“If you hadn’t asked Lu Bei to deceive me, I wouldn’t have run away from the wedding, and you wouldn’t have had the chance to marry Huo Yan.”
"Qin Wan, everything you have now was taken from me."
"For the sake of our sisterhood, I can let it go. But now that the family is in trouble, I hope you have a conscience and don't drag our parents into this because of our personal grievances. They are innocent."
After Qin Wei said these words, her parents' gazes softened considerably, and they seemed quite satisfied with her performance.
Seeing this, Qin Wan smiled and casually tossed the empty fruit plate onto the coffee table with a dull thud.
"innocent?"
"I must say you two are truly a family; you've even inherited a thick skin."
"You know in your hearts how you've treated me all these years."
"However, as you say, after all, I have given birth to and raised children, so I shouldn't go too far."
"How about this..."
"It's not impossible for me to help you plead with Huo Yan, as long as Qin Wei kneels down, kowtows and admits her mistake, and then slaps herself a few times, I'll consider it."
...
...
...
As soon as Qin Wan said this, the large living room fell into a deathly silence.
After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Wei exploded on the spot!
"impossible!"
"You're dreaming!"
"Qin Wan, you slut... mmm... Mom, you, mmm, let go..."
Qin Wei was halfway through her rant when her quick-thinking mother covered her mouth, forcibly silencing her before she could finish speaking.
