Chapter 56
"That man is the eldest son of the Qin family, named Qin Chao."
Yu Yao was dumbfounded, "Who?"
No matter how ignorant she was, she had heard of the Qin family in Shanghai. It was said that the Qin family was rich enough to rival a country. Even though many large families had been suppressed before, the Qin family had relied on its huge financial resources and powerful influence to remain standing despite many traps.
If that person is the eldest son of the Qin family, then doesn’t that mean he is the successor of the Qin family?
How did a successor end up in a place like Wanyuan County and become a small black market boss?
"It's the Qin Dynasty!"
Su Ye lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by others. "I saw him when I accompanied my mother to an event that day. Wow, he really looks different after dressing up."
"Haven't you ever seen him before?"
Even if the Su family is no match for the Qin family, the gap shouldn't be that big, right?
"I have seen him before..." Su Ye seemed to recall something and said, "But he was different then than he is now... Anyway, he was different from what I saw that day."
Yu Yao felt something was strange. Why did she feel that this girl was shy?
Damn it, why are there so many nymphomaniacs around me, even I am one of them.
"I don't know if what you said is true or not, but if it is the man in the alley that day, I advise you to stay away from him."
Yu Yaoke still remembered that Chen Chen said that the man who harmed him was once called Brother Huang.
Originally, Yu Yao thought that Brother Huang and Chen Chen should be two people who would never have any intersection, but now it seems that the possibility of their intersection is quite high, even though one is in Beijing and the other in Shanghai.
"I know. I want to be closer to her, but I need a chance." Su Ye shook his head and said, "She's too high to be mine."
Even she, a young lady from the Su family, said that she was out of his league. Even though her words were a bit exaggerated, it also showed that the Qin family was very powerful.
Yu Yao suddenly felt that Xichuan was not bad. The relationships in the family compound were so simple. With the army leaders watching over them, even some troublemakers could be controlled and obedient. The routines in this big city were too complicated.
Seeing that Yu Yao was a little absent-minded, Gu Qing couldn't help but ask, "What kind of alley are you talking about? I haven't heard you mention it before."
Upon hearing this, Su Ye suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth. Is this something he can't say?
She didn't even tell her family.
Seeing her worried look, Yu Yao felt happy. What had she been doing so far?
Yu Yao looked at Gu Qing with a smile on her face and told him what happened that day. Sure enough, Gu Qing's face fell.
It's not that he doesn't allow Yu Yao to do good things, but he knows that both parties are not good people and he shouldn't get involved in a place where he is unfamiliar with.
"Next time you encounter something like this, remember to ask for help. Sometimes you don't have to do things yourself."
"I know." Yu Yao gently pulled his hand on the table. Even if the matter was over, Yu Yao was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business. The last time was purely an accident.
However, thinking about Brother Huang's matter, Yu Yao had a guess in her mind.
After dinner, the three of them went for a walk by the river again. After confirming again and again that Su Ye did not need help, Yu Yao said goodbye to Su Ye reluctantly. After returning to the guesthouse, Yu Yao talked to Gu Qing about the problem that he had long forgotten.
"Is the leader that my sister-in-law and the others mentioned who was framed by Liu Yuan a member of the Xie family?"
Gu Qing didn't need to hide this matter, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Yuan is ambitious, but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability."
Yu Yao's mouth twitched. Isn't this right?
If he had no ambition, would he have embezzled so much money? Would he have gotten together with his sister-in-law?
"If that's the case, then the Liu family's affairs might have been the work of Qin Chao."
"Why?" Gu Qing didn't know about this. "But when we investigated the Liu family, we did find out that there was a mastermind behind it. Otherwise, Liu Yuan's affairs wouldn't have been so smooth. It's just that we didn't find out who was behind it."
Yu Yao quickly stated her guess, but it was indeed just her guess.
Because that day in the alley, Yu Yao heard what Brother Huang said to Brother Hua.
"Go back and tell Qin Fang that what was stolen is still stolen. If anything happens to her, I will make sure he dies miserably."
Qin Fang is the illegitimate son of the Qin family and is married to Miss Xie.
Miss Xie once ruined her innocence because of Liu Yuan.
Brother Huang is Qin Chao, the eldest son of the Qin family, and he has a grudge against Liu Yuan.
It’s no wonder that Yu Yao has a rich imagination. Combining these three points, plus what Brother Huang said, it’s not difficult to guess his relationship with Miss Xie, right?
After Yu Yao analyzed the whole thing, Gu Qing suddenly realized, "So that's the case, that must be it. I heard from Grandpa that Miss Xie had an engagement before, maybe that engagement was with Qin Chao."
Yu Yao suddenly felt that he still liked to listen to these rich family gossips, but he didn't know whether Qin Chao's so-called Qin Fang stole his identity as the young master of the Qin family or his marriage with the young lady of the Xie family.
"If it's him, this matter will be difficult to investigate." Gu Qing said.
Yu Yao did not comment. She felt that even if they found out about Qin Chao's conspiracy, it would be useless. The other party's promotion was probably just bait. After all, it was Liu Yuan who did it, right? If he did not have such a subjective will, it would be useless even if someone tempted him.
But she was not so naive as to think that Qin Chao was such a kind person. He showed no mercy to the Liu family, and to him, Liu Yang should not have provoked him.
"I just solved a doubt in my mind. Let's try to stay away from these things in the future." Yu Yao still hopes that life can be a little more ordinary.
They are not short of money now, their family is doing well, and they have their own careers, which is good enough.
Eating melons is delicious, but it would be a shame if you became the melon yourself.
Gu Qing silently took note of her words and tried not to let her worry about these unnecessary things in the future.
"Let's write it down early today. We have to take the train again tomorrow. It will definitely not be as comfortable to sleep here."
Yu Yao glanced at Gu Qing, wanting to see if this guy really just had such thoughts, and then met Gu Qing's nonchalant expression.
Could it be that she was wrong?
Later she realized how wrong she was, haha, men.
However, this was really unfair to Gu Qing. At the beginning, he really wanted Yu Yao to have a good rest. This period of time must have been very hard, but the two of them had not slept in the same bed for a long time. If he could resist holding his sweet and soft wife in his arms, he would not be a man!
Yu Yao didn't refuse, so everything was going to happen naturally, right?
On the other hand, the first thing Su Ye did after returning home was to start crying and complaining.
In the eyes of the Su family, their concern about their little daughter Su Ye has always been that she is too wild and does not look like a girl at all. This is the first time they have seen Su Ye so aggrieved. The whole family gathered together and asked her what happened.
Su Ye may be a little careless at ordinary times, but she is not stupid and knows that her family members care about her very much.
But I thought I had been clamoring to go out and find a job to make a name for myself, but now that I have failed, my family will definitely laugh at me.
Now looking at her family members surrounding her, she could no longer hold back her tears, and they were naturally moved.
"Oh, my little ancestor, why don't you tell us what happened? Are you trying to make us die of anxiety?" The speaker was the old lady of the Su family.
The old lady was also a famous socialite in Shanghai in her days. Even with her gray hair now, she still looks noble. But when facing her grandchildren, she is just a kind old woman.
"Grandma, I met a bad guy, that Yao Renyi, he's so bad!" Su Ye exaggerated and told him all the things that Yao Renyi had done in recent days, including how he had tried to bully her but failed and had become more and more excessive.
"If Yu Yao and the others hadn't given me the courage today, I might have really had to clean the toilet!"
The Su family was so angry that they almost died. Someone actually dared to ask the little princess who was held in the palm of their hand to clean the toilet. The Xie family was simply going too far!
"Let's go! Let's go to the Xie family today and ask for an explanation. I think the Xie family is getting worse and worse. They will be finished sooner or later. A son-in-law who is not sure how far away he is can take advantage of others to bully others. I want to see if they still have any shame!"
Su Ye didn't expect her grandmother to be so excited that she actually wanted to go directly to the Xie family. Although she didn't like the current Xie family very much, wouldn't her grandmother's behavior make them seem like they were making a big deal out of nothing?
"Isn't this a bad thing? I guess the Xie family doesn't care about Yao Renyi."
Grandma Su snorted coldly at this remark. She poked Su Ye's head and said, "Girl, you are still inexperienced. Haven't you heard that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer? Is the Xie family stupid? Don't they know that there are people who are not decent outside? They just think that this little thing will not affect the Xie family."
Old Su nodded and said, "Well, even if we go to give the old man from the Xie family a warning, if he doesn't care, there's no need for us to have any contact with the Xie family in the future."
"Then I'll take you there." The speaker was Su Li, the second elder brother of the Su family. He always loved his younger sister the most. "Didn't you just say that Yao Renyi has an illegitimate child outside? It's a good opportunity to inform the Xie family."
Su Ye had long known that his second brother was terrifying. Although he looked gentle and kind, he could make people suffer a fate worse than death with just one move.
If Yu Yao were here, she would tell her the word "black-bellied".
Although, she had never really seen her second brother like that.
The family hit it off and immediately decided that Su Li would take the two elders and Su Ye to the Xie family to seek justice.
It would definitely not be convenient for Su's mother to go. The old lady has a bad temper and the children are ignorant. If something really happened and something unpleasant happened, it would just be a matter of compensation. But if she went, the two families would never see each other again.
Su Ye was still a little nervous on the way. After all, in her memory, the Xie family was the only one that could compete with the Qin family in Shanghai. Although their Su family was not bad, they were not yet able to compete with the Xie family, right?
"Grandpa and grandma, if we just go there like this, will it really not cause any trouble for our family? Will they use this as an excuse to take action against us?"
Her father and two brothers all have very important jobs. If her little thing affects the future of her family, she will definitely feel guilty.
The two elders of the Su family looked at each other and saw the pain in each other's eyes. What made this little girl think that the Su family would be afraid of him, the Xie family?
"Xiao Ye, don't worry. Since Grandpa said he would make the decision for you, he must have a plan in mind. After so long, I'm afraid the Xie family has almost forgotten how they got started."
Su Ye was surprised, "Is there some hidden secret behind this?"
There is nothing to hide about this matter. I didn't mention it before because I was worried that the younger generation in my family would take advantage of me and repay me. But if people knew that the Xie family was such a worthless family, who would care about them?
"The Xie family relies entirely on the military achievements of Xie Tianquan. If your grandfather hadn't saved him at all costs, would the Xie family be where they are today?"
"What? Grandpa, you also saved Mr. Xie?"
No wonder the people from the Xie family were so polite when they met them, at least that was the case on the surface. Of course, they were only people from the Xie family.
She used to think that the Xie family was very humble, but now it seems that they are just so-so.
Su Ye only knew that his grandfather was discharged from the army due to injury when his future was bright. He never expected the truth to be like this. If there was any favor, the Xie family was really not grateful to their Su family.
Although Su Ye didn't care about rewards, the two families had such a close relationship that they shouldn't be as estranged as they are now. I'm afraid that grandpa's guess was right, and the Xie family may have really forgotten the kindness they received.
However, the Xie family was not at peace at this moment because an uninvited guest had come to their home.
"Qin Chao, thank you for the herbs you found before. Yinyin is much better now, so you don't have to worry about this matter. When Yinyin gets better in the future, we will definitely let her come to thank us in person."
Yinyin is suffering from a mental illness. Doesn’t her as a mother know this?
In fact, those medicinal herbs did not have much effect on her daughter, but since they were delivered to her door, there was no reason for her to push them away. So she naturally took them. If something happened at home, she would not have to look for them everywhere, right?
"Auntie, since you said Yinyin is much better now, can I go see her?"
Xie's mother was embarrassed. "This is not good, right? Yinyin is already married, and you two used to have that kind of relationship."
Qin Chao's face turned cold. "What kind of relationship? Engaged couple? If the Xie family hadn't gone back on their word, we would be husband and wife."
Seeing that Xie's mother's face changed, he continued, "These things are in the past and I don't want to talk about them anymore, but when we cancelled the engagement, didn't you say that I should treat Yinyin as my elder sister from now on? Auntie, tell me, my elder sister is sick, what's wrong with me, as her younger brother, going to see her?"
These few words made Xie's mother feel very uncomfortable. Why didn't she think Qin Chao was so difficult to deal with before?
What sister? Yin Yin is his sister-in-law now!
Who made the Qin family dislike the second young master now? He can't offend his powerful son-in-law for this kid, right?
Just when Xie's mother wanted to use her status as an elder to bully others, the auntie invited by the family came in and said, "Comrade Xie, the people from the Su family are here. They said that the Xie family bullied the little girl of the Su family, and they are here to seek justice."
Given the current situation, it is still very cautious for Auntie to speak of those things, especially in front of outsiders.
Upon hearing this, Xie's mother frowned. How could anyone in the Xie family be so blind as to bully the little girl from the Su family?
"Qin Chao, my aunt has some things to do here. Why don't you come back another day? Yinyin should be well by then."
Qin Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not in a hurry. Auntie, don't worry about me. You go and do your thing. I'll sit for a while." After saying that, he calmly picked up the teacup and drank his tea, as if he treated this place as his own home.
What Xie's mother hated most was his careless look. If he hadn't been like this, how could she have thought of sending her daughter to the army to find a better young man for her? Who knew that the beast named Liu would take advantage of the opportunity.
The couple was almost 40 years old when they had this precious daughter, and she was even said to be an old clam giving birth to a pearl, but she didn't care. She only cared about her precious daughter. But seeing the men her daughter met, each one of them was enough to make her want to vomit blood!
She didn't care about anything else. She glared at Qin Chao and got up to greet the guests. If she neglected the Su family, her wife would have to teach her a lesson. What sin had she committed? Anyone could be mad at her!
When she stood up, several people from the Su family had been welcomed in. She hurriedly greeted them with a fake smile, "Hey, elder sister, elder brother Su, who was the blind person who bullied the child? You can just deal with him directly. Why bother you to come here in person?"
"Oh!" Grandma Su sneered, "If we don't come here in person, I'm afraid you'll think we're making this up. Your Xie family is really well-educated. Abusing power for personal gain and having affairs outside are just two charges. Do you think if Xie Tianquan wasn't here, these two charges would get your Xie family kicked out of Shanghai?"
Mother Xie was used to being flattered, so she had never heard such insults. Her face was a little ugly, but since the couple had come, she had to endure it. However, her tone was no longer as warm as before. She said, "Old sister, you can't just put the blame on someone. Those who know that we owe Brother Su a debt will think that we have a grudge against each other."
This was almost like saying that the Su family was repaying a favor. Not only the old couple of the Su family, but also Su Ye's brother and sister were extremely angry.
Su Ye never expected that Mrs. Xie, who always looked dignified, would be like this in private.
Yes, Mrs. Xie has always had a good reputation outside because she is good at pretending, but she has been troubled by her daughter's affairs in recent years. Xie Yinyin has not been in a good mood these days, so she is naturally a little anxious as a mother. Just now, there was the stimulation of Qin Chao, so she couldn't help but reveal her true nature.
But others couldn't see it, but the old couple of the Su family had known about her behavior for a long time and were too lazy to tell him.
Old Master Su said in a deep voice: "Don't be here with a gun or a stick. Where is Xie Tianquan? Ask him to come out and I will talk to him."
This was the first time that Mother Xie was directly accused. Her face immediately became even uglier. She said, "Unfortunately, Brother Su, you know where my Tianquan is now. I rarely see him. How can he have the time to be idle at home? He is not as idle as the rest of us."
Su Ye was so angry that she fell backwards. What kind of person is this? Is he saying that her grandfather is idle at home and has nothing to do?
Who is her grandfather doing this for?
Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard a sneer. Everyone looked towards the corner and found Qin Chao sitting next to the sofa.
Yes, they are still standing at the door.
Hearing his voice, Xie's mother frowned. Today was really unlucky. Everyone came here to make her angry.
"What are you laughing at?" She couldn't scold the Su family, and she didn't dare to scold a young man? Not to mention a young man who followed her daughter around all day.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I just felt that what you said was a little too much and I couldn't help myself."
"You..." Who gave him the courage to say that to herself? Mother Xie was in a dilemma. If she got angry, she was worried that the Su family would laugh at her, but if she didn't get angry, it would seem that she was kind and easy to bully.
"Qin Chao, my Yinyin is already married, it's really inappropriate for you to cling to her like this, you should go back first, your auntie is busy here."
It's not that Qin Chao doesn't give her face, she just wants to see who can be more embarrassed?
Seeing the frost on Qin Chao's face, she felt refreshed.
However, unexpectedly, the next moment Qin Chao said: "Comrade Su is my friend, and I also want to see who is bullying my friend."
When these words were spoken, everyone was a little confused.
Xie's mother was even more furious. Didn't this man always like her daughter Yinyin so much? So where was he standing now?
No matter how slow the Su family was, they could see that the two people in front of them had a conflict today. The two elders of the Su family felt that they came at a wrong time. They wanted to teach the Xie family a lesson, but they didn't want to involve the Qin family. However, Qin Chao was speaking for himself, and they couldn't refute him.
Just when the old couple couldn't make up their minds, Su Ye said, "Thank you, Brother Qin. They are really too much. If it weren't for this, we definitely wouldn't have come here today."
Su Ye's eyes started to turn red as she spoke. She was pretending at first, but when she talked about the grievances she had suffered these days, she couldn't help but reveal her true feelings. Naturally, she didn't notice Qin Chao's increasingly cold eyes.
But Xie's mother's expression wasn't very good either.
Although others did not know this Yao Renyi, she knew him. He was not only the husband of Xie Tianquan's brother's niece, but also her distant relative. She knew that he was not an honest person, but she did not expect him to be so unreliable.
She was a little bit skeptical. After all, they were already living a good life, so why should they do this?
But if nothing happened, would the Su family come to our house so recklessly?
"Old sister, Brother Su, I really don't know anything about this. Why don't you wait for two days and I'll ask that kid. If he really does something shameless like this, I will be the first one to not let him go."
Mother Xie thought that the Su family was just making a big deal out of nothing. Only they must be stupid to bully a little girl in a place like a department store. She didn't believe that there were really people that stupid, let alone that the other party was a member of the Su family.
And the same goes for Su Ye. Isn't it funny that a good member of the Su family becomes a salesperson?
Although everyone is advocating that labor is the most glorious, only when you actually do the labor will you realize that whether it is glorious or not is not that important. She really can't understand why the Su family would be willing to let their little daughter suffer. With their family background, finding a good unit to work in an office is much better than being a salesperson. If that doesn't work, she can just find a good man to marry.
Her words sounded nice, but the protective tone in them was obvious, making the Su family members look uneasy. However, since Xie Tianquan was not here, there was no point in them arguing with her.
Just when the Su family was thinking about how to find a reason to leave first and settle the score with Xie Tianquan another day, Qin Chao on the side spoke at the right time.
"It turns out to be Yao Renyi from the department store. I know him. How come he is from the Xie family? I remember his wife and children are all in Huainan Road."
That's great, Su Ye exclaimed in his heart. Didn't they come here today just to tell the Xie family about this?
They were just wondering how to start the conversation, and now someone came to help them.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xie's mother raised her voice and asked, "What do you mean by that? What wife and children, what Huaihai Road?"
Qin Chao had actually investigated this person a long time ago. To be more precise, he was from the Xie family and he knew it very well. However, Yao Renyi was a man who never kept track of anything, so it was normal for him to be discovered.
However, the Xie family only cares about the value he created outside, and doesn't care about his reputation outside at all, because if something really happens, the Xie family can only blame him for failing to discipline him and producing an ungrateful person. They even deliberately ignore the bad things Yao Renyi did outside. If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass to eat.
But they probably never imagined that Yao Renyi was so bold that he actually dared to keep a woman outside and have an illegitimate child.
This is not just a question of Yao Renyi's character, it is a slap in the face of the Xie family.
Qin Chao didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, it would not be good for him if the Xie family lost its reputation. But he didn't expect that Yao Renyi would have such dirty thoughts as to target this little girl.
It's totally lawless!
Su Ye saved him last time, so he had to repay her. This time, he was determined to seek justice for Su Ye.
He just didn't quite understand the purpose of the Su family's visit, but that didn't stop him from telling the truth he knew.
"It seems that there is a hidden story that Auntie doesn't know. Could it be that the child is his illegitimate child?" Qin Chao didn't care about Mother Xie's expression. He gave Mother Xie a good face in Yin Yin's matter, but it didn't mean that he had to give in to Mother Xie in everything. "But with Na Yao's usual style of benevolence and righteousness, it really seems like he can do such a thing."
Mother Xie was about to go crazy. She had realized that Qin Chao was here today just to make her unhappy.
They had just said that Yao Renyi often did things under the name of the Xie family, and she knew it herself. No matter how courageous Yao Renyi was, he would not dare to talk nonsense about the affairs of the Xie family, so people outside knew that he was just a son-in-law of a distant relative of the Xie family.
But this is not important at all to those who want to curry favor with the Xie family. What is important is that Yao Renyi does have some power in the Shanghai department store, and only those who work in this industry know how much profit there is in it.
Of course, the truly big families would not really care about such a small profit, so they did not take Yao Renyi's actions seriously. However, it was different for the weaker families and companies. By trying to please Yao Renyi, they were also borrowing the power of the Xie family. They used each other, and the money they had pocketed over the years was immeasurable.
"Since you knew it long ago, why didn't you say it earlier? I don't believe you really don't know that Yao Renyi is our Xie family's son-in-law!" Xie's mother stopped pretending and got angry at Qin Chao.
"Mom, what happened?"
Several people turned around and saw a young woman in a white dress standing at the stairs. She was like a fragile piece of porcelain, beautiful yet fragile. As soon as she opened her mouth, the whole living room seemed to be quiet.
This was not the first time Su Ye met Miss Xie, but it was the first time she met Miss Xie like this. She finally understood what her parents meant when they said that she did not look like a girl.
She is so gentle and dignified, that's what a real woman is. Even though she is over 30 years old, her face is still weathered. Even though she has experienced such things, it still can't erase her noble temperament.
Su Ye once heard from her elder brother that Miss Xie had always been the object of admiration of many boys in the compound, and later on, she was also the sweetheart of many boys in school. Although her elder brother said that he had never liked Miss Xie, she was a little skeptical.
It's a pity that Miss Xie and Qin Chao got engaged later, which broke the hearts of countless young men.
But later, Qin Chao encountered such a thing again and almost lost his status as the eldest son of the Qin family. Miss Xie also got into trouble in the army, and the relationship between the two naturally broke down.
For a moment, Su Ye didn't know whether to pity Qin Chao or Miss Xie.
"Yinyin, why did you come down if you're not feeling well? It's your Uncle Su and Aunt Su who are here. Come and say hello."
Mrs. Xie didn't want her daughter to worry about these things. Her daughter used to be so lively, cute and full of energy. She couldn't tell how heartbroken she was to see her daughter become like this.
Without her saying anything, Xie Yinyin had already walked over. She naturally saw Qin Chao standing in the hall, but she did not give Qin Chao any extra glances. Instead, she came to the front of the Su family members with a calm face and greeted them, as if she had not seen Qin Chao at all.
"Good boy, we are just visiting. It is getting late now and we should go back."
Grandma Su took the opportunity to speak, and when she saw Xie Yinyin, she put away her previous arrogance.
No matter what, even if she herself doesn't like this girl very much, people always sympathize with the weak.
Especially for those of them who grew up in big families, they knew very well that what Xie Yinyin had suffered was because of her background. A truly educated person would never look down on her for this, at least Grandma Su would not do that.
What happened today originally had nothing to do with this younger generation, but seeing her, she confirmed Grandma Su's idea. When she returns, she will definitely have a good talk with her daughter-in-law. She still has to hold on to her feelings for Su Ye and must not let Su Ye suffer such harm.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of that beast named Yao Renyi, who bullied her granddaughter and made her almost mad.
"Please take your time, and come back when you have time."
After watching them walk out of the house, the last bit of smile on Xie Yinyin's face faded away and she was about to go back to the house, but she was stopped by Qin Chao.
"Yin Yin."
Xie Yinyin ignored him and said to Xie's mother, "Why do you bring all kinds of cats and dogs home? Can't you have someone guard the door?"
"Xie Yinyin, do you really have to do this? Do you really think I was unfair to you at the beginning?" Qin Chao's tone was indifferent, and there was no love in his words.
But Xie Yinyin didn't care. She only hated him now, so it didn't matter whether he loved her or not.
She turned around and sneered, "Isn't it? If it wasn't you, why would you always come to my house to give me things? Could it be that you are really interested in your sister-in-law? Second brother, don't come again, you make me feel disgusted."
If he hadn't been so indifferent, how could I have joined the army, how could I have met that beast Liu Yuan, how could I have been abandoned by Liu Yuan after having a relationship with him, how could I have lost my reputation and had to marry a bastard, and now I still have to look at the face of a bastard.
All of this was caused by this man. She had once been completely sincere to him. She was really blind.
"Yinyin, what are you saying?" Mother Xie really wanted to go forward and cover her daughter's mouth. Although she thought so in her heart, how could a young woman like her say that the brother-in-law likes the sister-in-law?
It's all Qin Chao's fault. He has no ability and only knows how to cause trouble. That would be fine, but he still sticks to her daughter like a dog-skin plaster. It's really disgusting.
"Didn't you hear what Yinyin said? Don't come here again. Do you think our Xie family needs what you have?"
Qin Chao was silent for a while, still with the same expression as before. He said, "You Xie family is rich and powerful, so you may not care about my things, but the various precious medicinal materials and precious jewelry I sent over the past two years are worth about 50,000 yuan, even if the jewelry is worthless now."
"These fifty thousand yuan are the end of my friendship with your family. I will not come again, nor will I bring these unsightly things to pollute your eyes. Thank you, auntie, sister-in-law, I am leaving first."
"Qin Chao!" Xie Yinyin had long been accustomed to Qin Chao's kindness to her. She couldn't believe that Qin Chao would say such a thing to her. "Do you think you can redeem yourself with just this little thing? I tell you, I will never forgive you for what happened back then."
At this moment, Qin Chao suddenly felt very bored. He looked at Xie Yinyin's somewhat angry and frustrated face and felt extremely unfamiliar. He didn't know why she had persisted for these years.
"Sister-in-law, you keep saying that it was my fault, but I'm really curious about where you think I was wrong. Do you think it's wrong for me to seek justice for my mother?"
Xie Yinyin gnashed her teeth in hatred. He actually called her sister-in-law. Didn't he never acknowledge Qin Fang as his brother? Was he humiliating her? He even asked himself where he was wrong. Didn't he understand?
If he hadn't ignored their engagement and fallen out with the Qin family, how could he have experienced what happened later?
"Oh, your true colors are revealed now. You have never taken me seriously. You have been pretending to be affectionate for the past two years because you are worried that my Xie family and Qin Fang will join forces to completely eliminate your position in the Qin family, right?"
"Yinyin." Mother Xie was almost scared to death. Although they had Qin Chao well under their control, they couldn't tell everyone. It would be very troublesome if they accidentally said something they shouldn't.
Moreover, she didn't want Qin Chao to really cut off contact with his family. Although the things he gave were not too expensive, they were better than nothing. Her eldest son had given them as gifts over the years, and it was better to not refuse something that was given for free, right?
Who makes others have so much money?
"What if you say more to him and he gets angry and has another attack?"
Normally, whenever she said this, Qin Chao would compromise no matter how angry he was, and would look at Yin Yin with great concern. Both mother and daughter were used to it. As usual, they wanted to see worry on Qin Chao's face, and then immediately go find medicine for Xie Yin Yin.
But they were destined to be disappointed.
Men are actually like this. Once they see their own hearts clearly, they will not hesitate at all. The reason why Qin Chao has not left is because he is thinking about what Xie Yinyin just said.
This was connected to his speculations over the past few years. "So you and Qin Fang teamed up to make it impossible for me to stay in the army, right? Uncle Xie has that ability? No, Uncle Xie won't do that, right, Brother Xie?"
Seeing the two of them panicking for a moment, he said, "You don't have to be like this. You know I'm a person with multiple relationships. With Yinyin here, you can just persuade me to leave the army and make way for Qin Fang, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Xie Yinyin was a little panicked. Is Qin Chao crazy? She is not stupid. How could she say such a thing to Qin Chao? She knows how important the army is to Qin Chao.
When they framed Qin Chao, she was also very reluctant, but she was in such a bad situation, how could she let Qin Chao have an easy life? Moreover, he was just a small deputy battalion commander, and he couldn't really make much contribution to the country. Didn't he want his own future? Wasn't he willing to give up everything for the sake of his integrity? Isn't this asking for benevolence and getting benevolence?
Qin Chao: "I have never regretted what I did. If I do regret anything, I only regret not killing Qin Li directly."
"As for you, maybe you were wronged when you married me. I admit that I didn't care too much about you, but even if I, Qin Chao, left the house, could I let you starve to death? You looked down on me and wanted to marry someone higher up, why didn't you tell me in advance? You wanted to marry someone higher up but someone plotted against you, and you blamed me? Your father's opponent spread your story and you blamed me."
"Xie Yinyin, you are calculating too loudly."
After saying this, Qin Chao felt a lot more relaxed, as if some shackles had been removed from him.
At first, Xie Yinyin came back hurt and asked him if he was willing to marry her. He agreed. Then the news that she had lost her innocence became known to everyone. Xie Yinyin cried in front of him, but he didn't mind because Xie Yinyin said that she was being plotted against.
But later she insisted on breaking off the engagement with him and marrying the illegitimate son. She kept saying that Qin Fang treated her badly and that he plotted against her because he wanted to take revenge on her. Qin Chao knew that he might not believe everything she said, but he also knew that one of the main reasons why Qin Fang married her was because of him.
Qin Fang is not a good match, and facts have proved this to be the case, so Qin Chao has been making up for Xie Yinyin in the past few years, also to commemorate the beautiful relationship he once had.
But the more he dug into many things, the more he realized that he was a fool. Even Xie Yinyin's current illness was fake. Was there anything about her that was worthy of his trust?
But it doesn't matter anymore, he has already paid back what he owes, and there will never be any intersection between the two of them again.
Xie Yinyin was still a little confused by Qin Chao's accusation. Seeing that he was about to leave, she shouted without caring, "Qin Chao, stop!"
Who would have thought that Qin Chao didn't even stop for a moment, but strode directly out of the Xie family.
Xie Yinyin staggered two steps and looked at the door in disbelief.
How dare he? I haven't even let him go yet, how dare he just leave like that?
Once Qin Chao made a decision, he would never stop, just like when he learned about his mother's death, he decided to fight to the death with Qin Fang and his son.
He was determined to shake off the past and didn't care about the hysterical voices coming from behind him. But as soon as he walked out of Xie's house, he saw four people from the Su family standing on the side of the road looking at him.
Waiting for him.
