Chapter 17 The 5 Million Dollar Check
Zhou Yun'ai paused in her act of cutting a watermelon: "What? You have an injured wrist?"
Ye Qingxue nodded, her brows furrowed with anxiety and concern: "My sister grew up away from home, so her temperament is naturally a bit eccentric. No matter what she did wrong, please forgive her for this being her first offense and give her another chance. Please."
Zhou Yun'ai looked at Ye Qingxue with a tender expression and sighed, "Don't worry, now that she has married into our Lin family, I will naturally not mistreat her."
However, she jumped off a building on her wedding day, and after being discharged from the hospital, she cut her wrists again...
Zhou Yunai shook her head. If it weren't for her eldest son's physical disability, she would never have agreed to this marriage.
Seeing the hint of displeasure in her expression, Ye Qingxue's lips curled up slightly.
So after Ye Qingning came out of the bathroom, Zhou Yun'ai called her to the study.
Lin Feiyan happened to see her as she passed by. After a moment of contemplation, he excused himself to go to the bathroom and wheeled himself towards the study.
...
In the study, Zhou Yun'ai instructed Ye Qingning to sit opposite her, her gaze sweeping over Ye Qingning's wrist, which was covered by her sleeve, and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Is your wrist injured?"
Ye Qingning subconsciously touched her wrist: "It's nothing, I just accidentally cut myself."
Ye Qingxue's mouth really came out fast; Ye Qingning was once again certain that this so-called younger sister was not kind to her.
Zhou Yun'ai glanced at her, naturally disbelieving.
Under what circumstances might you accidentally cut your wrist?
It was clearly done on purpose.
However, now was not the time to expose her, so Zhou Yunai simply took a check out of the drawer and pushed it over.
"Take this check, live a good life with Fei Yan, and preserve the reputation of the Lin family. I will allow you to divorce Fei Yan in three years."
Ye Qingning's gaze fell on the check: 5 million.
Therefore, the value of Zhou Yun'ai's five million was to preserve the Lin family's reputation and prevent her from doing anything disgraceful, such as jumping off a building or cutting her wrists.
But she never considered whether Lin Feiyan liked or accepted her, given that she was keeping such a woman by his side.
Ye Qingning shook her head and sighed: How could there be such a mother in the world?
She smiled and pushed the check to Zhou Yun'ai.
Zhou Yun'ai took in her expression, her gaze sharpening slightly: "What? You think it's not enough?"
"It seems you've never asked Lin Feiyan about his attitude towards my marriage. How can you be so sure he wants this marriage to continue?"
Through a crack in the door, Ye Qingning's words reached Lin Feiyan's ears one by one, and he coldly curled his lips.
It seems Ye Qingning plans to take a roundabout approach, using pressure from her parents to break free from this marriage.
Ha, that's quite a clever plan.
Zhou Yun'ai, sitting in the study, smiled faintly: "This is not your concern. Just keep this check safe, do your job well, and I will not treat you unfairly even if we divorce in three years. You will be the one who gains in no matter what."
Ye Qingning shrugged and said seriously, "You're overthinking it. Now that Fei Yan and I are married, we will naturally do our best to take care of him, respect and love each other, and support each other. Other issues related to our marriage will naturally be decided by the two of us."
After speaking, she didn't pay attention to Zhou Yun'ai's surprised look and stood up straight, bowing slightly: "If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
Lin Feiyan's wheelchair moved swiftly outside the door, and by the time Ye Qingning came out, he had already hidden behind a screen.
Ye Qingning's behavior just now surprised him, but the study door was open a crack, and the wheelchair was turning and making noise, so it wasn't impossible that she knew he was outside the door.
Based on his observations of Ye Qingning over the past two days, he realized that this woman was definitely not as clueless and ignorant as rumored; on the contrary, she was quite intelligent.
So it's possible that the last sentence was said intentionally to him.
Lin Feiyan narrowed his eyes slightly and went straight to the bathroom.
...
Half an hour later, the two said goodbye and left the mansion. On the way back, Lin Feiyan directly asked his question: "What did my mother want with you just now?"
He was interested to hear her explanation.
