"I won't keep you here tonight. Go back and coax that old hag. Women's IQ drops to zero when they're coaxed, and they won't cause you any more trouble," Qin Xiaoye suggested.
"Are you saying your IQ is zero just because you coax someone?" Zhang Dahai teased her deliberately.
"In front of you, anyone who doesn't coax me is practically a zero IQ, because I'm a woman in love. Now my demands are getting lower and lower, having you is enough for me, nothing else matters." Qin Xiaoye's words sounded so convincing that they actually moved Zhang Dahai.
Xing Suyuan returned home from the beauty salon and cried the whole time. She didn't dare go back to her parents' house to complain, let alone go to Zhu Yuzhen. She was afraid that Zhu Yuzhen wouldn't forgive her for arguing in public.
However, someone with a loose tongue relayed the message to Zhu Yuzhen, who then called Zhang Dahai and gave him a good scolding, telling him to immediately sort out his relationships.
When Zhang Dahai returned home, he was annoyed to find the house deserted. Entering the bedroom, he saw Xing Suyuan's face was even worse; her eyes were swollen shut, her lips were turned upside down, and there was a pungent, ambiguous scent emanating from her, a mixture of perfume and something else, making him not want to stay a minute longer. However, remembering Qin Xiaoye's instructions, he had no choice but to be patient.
"Alright, stop crying. You have to take care of the child, even if you don't take care of yourself."
These words moved Xing Suyuan to the point of almost going crazy. She bit the corner of the blanket and choked up even more.
"Men are all fickle, even your father and brothers are the same. If they don't have affairs, people will look down on them. I'm just having fun with her, you don't need to take it seriously. If you do, you're giving her too much credit."
These were very well said, and Xing Suyuan immediately perked up. Zhang Dahai then ordered the servants to cook porridge and personally brought it up.
"Where are you going?" Xing Suyuan hadn't been this happy since she got married. Seeing Zhang Dahai put down the porridge and was about to leave, she couldn't help but ask while biting her spoon.
"You've been working too hard today. Get some sleep later; it's important to take care of yourself during your pregnancy. I still have work to do, so go to the study and work overtime. You've made me leave a ton of things unfinished." Zhang Dahai sighed, closed the door, and left.
Xing Suyuan felt a pang of guilt, realizing she had been too immature and that she needed to change this habit.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuzhen called the next day, launching into a tirade, accusing her of being incompetent. Fortunately, she ended by telling Zhang Dahai to quickly sort things out and that she shouldn't worry.
As expected, the next day, Qin Xiaoye and her family of three left with their luggage.
Actually, this was Zhang Dahai's feint. Qin Xiaoye has now figured things out and is a good playmate. How could he bear to get rid of her so soon? He was just giving her some money so that the three of them could go on a trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou to avoid the limelight.
He had endured two days of bland food at home, but he couldn't take it anymore. So, he took advantage of a meeting to go after them.
Qin Xiaoye and her family of three enjoyed themselves, having plenty of food and entertainment. Zhang Dahai already knew which hotel she was staying at, as he had booked it for her, so he gave her a special surprise.
Qin Xiaoyu didn't return until the afternoon, wanting to take a nap to replenish her energy. Back in her room, she went to the bathroom, thinking that this kind of life wasn't so bad. What was status anyway? Was it really that important? Why live according to other people's opinions?
She suddenly understood her mother's choice back then; her mother was simply blind, choosing the wrong person, which is why she never amounted to anything. She needed to seize the opportunity...
Just as she was about to enter Feifei's room, she suddenly heard a noise at the door. Her door was locked from the inside, and Xiaoye's mother wouldn't go into her room.
She panicked a little. The glass door was fogged up, and she couldn't see outside. Just as she was about to reach out, the door opened, and Zhang Dahai rushed in and hugged her tightly.
For a moment, Qin Xiaoye deceived herself, believing that they were truly in love, that they were alike in every way, weren't they?
She is no less than Qin Xiaoyu.
They had agreed to let them have fun for half a month before coming back, but Zhang Dahai had to go back to work. They had a great time this time, and Zhang Dahai was a little reluctant to let them go, so he called them back to Shanghai after only a week.
This time, I just told them to keep a low profile, be careful when going out, try to stay on the first floor at night, and make sure to close the curtains when turning off the lights on the second floor.
"What's the difference between this and stealing! I want to go back to my hometown!" Xiao Ye's father exploded upon hearing this request.
"If you want to get out, then get out! You're fed and pampered all day long, and you're still causing trouble. My daughter has it hard enough!" Xiao Ye's mother had long been annoyed by him and wished she could send him back to his hometown in Northeast China immediately.
Recently, after using Qin Xiaoye's cosmetics and wearing fashionable clothes, Xiaoye's mother feels much younger. When she goes out to buy groceries, older men often glance at her, and she's become more attractive to everyone.
Maybe if she dumps Xiao Ye's dad, she'll have a chance to marry into a better family.
Xiao Ye's father wasn't stupid. Going back to Northeast China now would be a complete disaster. He'd lose his wife and daughter, and his money tree would be gone too.
He gritted his teeth and reluctantly stayed, hiding in his small downstairs room every day, drinking to pass the time.
After this incident, Qin Xiaoye's true colors as a vixen were completely exposed. She began to frantically swindle money from Zhang Dahai, getting as much as she could.
Zhang Dahai, still immersed in the pleasures of her company, hadn't quite recovered yet, only noticing that she had become more materialistic than before.
The situation escalated because of Qin Xiaoye's pregnancy. After discovering she was pregnant, she deliberately tricked Zhang Dahai into going to the hospital. Zhang Dahai wasn't exactly happy about her pregnancy; rather, he felt it was a wake-up call.
The child born to Xing Suyuan is his true flesh and blood, and will enhance his status in both the Zhang and Xing families. The child born to Qin Xiaoye can only be considered trouble.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Qin Xiaoye keenly noticed the problem.
"No, I'm just worried... Why don't you go to Suzhou for a while? I'll rent you a place. I'm afraid that if she finds out, it might be bad for you..."
Zhang Dahai couldn't continue speaking, and Xing Suyuan stood not far away, holding her belly, staring blankly at them.
Qin Xiaoye had never felt guilty about this matter, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a little sorry for that woman.
She hadn't hurt anyone, and it was pitiful enough for her to just watch her husband and his lover laughing and talking together.
Xing Suyuan learned her lesson, didn't make a fuss or cry, and turned around and left.
Qin Xiaoye originally wanted to argue with Zhang Dahai about why she should go to Suzhou, but for some reason she felt uneasy and agreed.
Zhang Dahai didn't dare delay and ran straight home to put out the fire. But he was too late. This time, Xing Suyuan was smart enough to go back to her parents' home.
Seeing Xing Suyuan, heavily pregnant, crying her heart out, the Xing family was thrown into turmoil. A few phone calls later, Qin Xiaoye's address was pinpointed.
Uncle Xing led a few people and rushed over, starting to smash things from the doorway.
Xiao Ye's dad was a shrewd old fox. Sensing trouble, he ducked into the basement, locked the door, and didn't come out. As for his wife and daughter? They were on their own.
Xiao Ye's mother was quite strong-willed; protecting her daughter meant protecting everything else, otherwise, she would have nothing. She risked her life, fighting five against one, and managed to escort Qin Xiao Ye into the bedroom.
