Chapter 223 Atonement



"Mom, Sun Suyun is a woman with corrupt personal ethics. If I marry her, I don't know how many people will laugh at me. Please think of a solution!"

In the car, Pei Junyan kept complaining.

Lin Jing could no longer bear it and glared at Pei Junyan with a look of disappointment.

"I gave you a chance, but what did you do? If you weren't drunk, would this have happened?"

"Even if there's surveillance video, as long as Sun Suyun and Xue Zhe get together, the old woman will find a way to get you out for the sake of the Pei family's reputation, and Qiao Ruoxi won't dare to interfere."

"Such a good opportunity, but you wasted it!"

Pei Junyan scratched his head, trying hard to recall what happened that night, but his memory disappeared after he answered the phone and drank a glass of wine.

I can't remember anything else.

He couldn't even remember knocking on Xue Zhe's door at four o'clock.

He had been drunk before, but he had never lost his memory. Even when he was very drunk, he still had memories.

This time, it was really weird...

"Marrying Sun Suyun is a temporary solution, and it is not completely without benefits for you." Lin Jing was silent for a moment and then spoke again.

Pei Junyan curled his lips: "What good can it be? If this thing hadn't happened, I would have married an innocent girl. Now, I want to vomit just looking at her!"

"She eats shit and forces me to eat shit too. It's disgusting!"

Lin Jing glared at Pei Junyan: "Who did you learn these vulgar words from? Is it those people in the game?"

"Remember this, you are the eldest young master of the Pei family. Engraving the etiquette into your bones!"

Pei Junyan lowered his head and nodded: "I know, Mom."

Lin Jing sighed: "No matter how much a man plays around, public opinion won't have much impact on you, so you don't have to take what happened yesterday too seriously."

"And if you marry Sun Suyun, at least you can calm this wave of public opinion and also give you a good reputation as a loyal and righteous person. As for the future..."

Lin Jing sneered, her eyes sinister: "Doesn't she want to marry into our family? I will let her know what regret is and make her willingly divorce you!"

"It won't have any impact on you marrying again when the time comes. With your status as Master Pei, there are plenty of good girls chasing after you."

When Pei Junyan heard his mother's analysis, he felt much better and was no longer so resistant to marrying Sun Suyun.

Just play with it and throw it away, he is the eldest son of the Pei family!

The Shen family's old house is much quieter than the Pei family's.

Old Lady Shen looked Chen Qin up and down and said, "Did you just get off the cruise ship? This project isn't that urgent. If you're too tired, go back and rest. We can discuss it tomorrow."

"If the project is approved one day earlier, the machine can start working one day earlier, which can save a lot of money."

Chen Qin took out the still warm project book and a pen from her bag with a serious look.

Old Mrs. Shen took the pen and sighed, "Isn't this the pen I gave you when you graduated from college?"

"Yes, Chairman." Chen Qin replied.

Old Mrs. Shen's eyelids twitched: "Why, you don't even call me mom anymore, are you so resentful?"

Chen Qin shook her head: "You said that I can't call you mom when talking about work."

"You!" Old Mrs. Shen shook her head. "You're stubborn and you won't turn back until you hit the wall!"

"However, this isn't entirely your fault. You've been doing a good job lately. Many of the higher-ups have praised you in front of me. You've made great progress compared to before."

It had been a long time since she had been praised by Old Lady Shen, and a blush appeared on Chen Qin's face.

"I was too lazy before. It was only after you took away my shares and power that I realized how difficult work is."

Old Mrs. Shen nodded: "Yes, it's a good thing that you understand now."

"After talking about work, let's talk about your personal life. What's going on between you and Sun Zheng? Lawyer Lin told me that you filed for divorce?"

Chen Qin nodded: "Yes, I have thought about it for a long time. The differences between Sun Zheng and I are getting bigger and bigger. Instead of getting tired of each other, it's better to divorce."

Old Madam Shen looked at Chen Qin for a long time, and after confirming that she was not speaking in anger, she nodded: "Okay, since you have thought it through, Mom will not interfere any more."

"But you and Sun Zheng are getting divorced. What about Sun Suyun? What are you going to do?"

Hearing this name, a hint of sadness appeared on Chen Qin's face.

"We were mother and daughter, and I've given her everything I could and paid back everything I owed her. The rest is up to her. I don't have the ability to control her anymore."

Mrs. Shen frowned when she heard this: "Pay back? Xiaoqin, what exactly do you owe that needs to be paid back?"

Chen Qin was startled, realizing that she had accidentally let something slip: "Nothing, you heard it wrong."

"Is it related to the time when you disappeared more than ten years ago? What happened during that time, and why haven't you mentioned a single word about it?"

Under Mrs. Shen's questioning, the blood color on Chen Qin's face disappeared bit by bit.

Memories from more than a decade ago came flooding back.

During those dark and gloomy years, she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved. She betrayed her marriage and her children, and she vowed to atone for her sins...

"Xiaoqin, what are you thinking about? Why can't you tell your mother? I am the person closest to you!" Old Mrs. Shen held Chen Qin's trembling hands.

But Chen Qin closed her eyes: "Mom, don't ask, nothing happened."

Yes, as long as you forget it, you can pretend nothing happened.

When the mother and daughter looked at each other in silence, the housekeeper Liao Bo came in.

"Old lady, Miss, Miss Sun and Miss Sun's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, are here. They want to see you and are standing at the door, refusing to leave."

Old Mrs. Shen was instantly furious: "What are they doing here? They bully and abuse my granddaughter, how dare they come to my house? Get them out!"

Uncle Liao sighed, "We chased them away and called security, but they refused to leave. They even took photos everywhere with their phone, saying they would use the video to call the police if they hurt them."

"Scoundrel!" Old Mrs. Shen was furious.

Chen Qin reached out and patted her mother's back: "Mom, don't be angry. Please leave first. I will go and talk to them. Some things should be made clear to them."

Old Mrs. Shen looked at Chen Qin for a while: "Can you be alone?"

Chen Qin nodded: "This is not the first time I have dealt with them, I know their temperament well."

"Besides, I can't hide behind you forever."

Old Mrs. Shen suddenly felt a little emotional. When she reached the door, she looked back at Chen Qin and sighed.

"I finally woke up, but it's too late..."

Outside the Shen family's old house.

When the Qiao couple heard that Chen Qin agreed to let them in, they immediately took advantage of the situation and showed off their power in front of the security guard at the door.

"Did you hear that? Chen Qin personally invited us in!"

"I'm telling you, those of you who look down on others, my daughter is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the future mistress of the Pei family. Open your dog eyes and see clearly!"
