It seems he’s afraid of saying more and making mistakes, also to preserve his son’s future right to inherit the property, after all, it’s something he’s worked hard for. Passing it down to his son is acceptable, but it’s a pity that Lu Yunqing has to accompany him in rebuilding his fortunes.
However, he believes that Lu Yunqing loves him so much, she will surely agree.
Lu Yunqing only feels a sense of loss within her, yet she doesn’t say anything more. After all, even if she wanted to stop the divorce, she can’t. And if she continues to persuade, there’s a risk of exposing the truth. Although sooner or later, she will have to apologize to Yu.
But she hopes that day comes later rather than sooner.
For the remaining time, she’ll spend more time with Yu, trying to make her happy, as her final form of atonement.
Ji Fei caused a stir and then obediently stepped back, since she has no evidence, anything she says will not be acknowledged. She just hopes this situation will plant doubts in everyone’s mind.
Otherwise, these people will be at the Qin family’s residence, flirting when no one knows, which is just disgusting.
“Hey, what did you just…” Qin Yi quickly asks in a hushed tone from the side.
Ji Fei almost forgot about Qin Yi; she immediately activates her clever little mind to find an excuse. Then she hears her husband say: “Didn’t she just say it? She saw those two flirting, so she probably suspects something.”
Ji Fei immediately hugs her husband happily, “Yes, yes, that’s it.”
“Ah? There really was flirting?” Qin Yi is dumbfounded. “Could it be… true?”
“You can ask Fifth Aunt Qin later; does she know the mistress? If she doesn’t know who she is, then isn’t she the most suspicious?” Ji Fei suggests.
Qin Yi is baffled and asks, “Then why advise reconciliation? Does anyone willingly be a mistress?”
“Who knows what goes through a mistress’s mind. Maybe she thinks she’s a saint and wants to accumulate merits? But those merits certainly won’t be enough, haha.” Ji Fei says, unable to hold back her laughter, leaning against Qin Xian’s solid chest, her eyes sparkling with joy.
Qin Xian smiles gently, moving closer. “What are you looking at?”
“Looking at how handsome my husband is.” Ji Fei feels her heart flutter whenever Qin Xian does something.
Earlier, when he was scolding, she felt he was glowing, simply amazing.
Qin Xian can hardly resist his wife’s gaze; he kisses her forehead without caring about the surroundings.
Qin Yi can’t bear to watch, especially since they’re still discussing the divorce.
With everything settled, they plan to arrange for a lawyer.
The lawyer needs to prepare materials and contact foreign law firms, so they’ll have to wait a bit.
They’ll stay here for two more days.
Lu Yunqing, as the best friend, will naturally stay with Fifth Aunt Qin, while Zhao Chengle, still angry at the Qin family, stays as an external relative, so he cannot move out.
Logically, Zhao Jianghe should have no face to continue staying here.
Yet, he brazenly claimed to stay for one night, to handle things tomorrow, and pack his personal belongings, since he sometimes accompanied to visit the old master. If there’s anything with the lawyer, it’s easier to communicate immediately.
Fifth Aunt Qin didn’t expel him; although she has grievances, she isn’t ferociously enraged, so she arranged a guest room for him.
Before Lu Yunqing was scheduled to see a doctor, a guest room was prepared for her, which naturally will be where she stays.
This arrangement leaves the two of them alone in the guest-designated building.
Because Lu Yunqing stayed behind to have private conversations with Fifth Aunt Qin after the discussion, few took notice.
Even Ji Fei overlooked it, only seeing Lu Yunqing following Fifth Aunt Qin; then Zhao Jianghe carrying his luggage heading out.
Zhao Chengle, who had conflicts with them earlier, first went to the guest room with his father, then back to the building for the younger generation.
As he entered the hall where the group was talking, everyone turned to look at him, making him feel awkward but he had to greet them.
This time he was polite, even addressing Ji Fei as Second Sister-in-law, and apologized to Qin Yian and Ji Fei for the earlier conflict.
Although knowing he didn’t mean it and still felt Ji Fei was troubling Lu Yunqing, he was courteous.
Fifth Aunt Qin seems to have taught him well, though she failed unexpectedly.
Kids tend to resent those who strive for their future and appear more strict, even suspecting their motives. There might be some parents with impure intentions, but most worry about their children’s ability to handle risks in the future.
Fifth Aunt Qin was strict with Zhao Chengle because the Zhao family wasn’t harmonious, while he had Qin backing, making him a target. He needed to be excellent to stand his ground, so she never allowed him to indulge at a young age.
However, Lu Yunqing always took advantage of Fifth Aunt Qin’s strictness, showing pity and giving Zhao Chengle benefits, helping him evade, making him closer to her.
In this aspect, Fifth Aunt Qin is at fault ; Was Lu Yunqing really that good at pretending? Fifth Aunt Qin didn’t notice, considered her soft-hearted and needing guidance just like a child.
It seems Lu Yunqing completely understands this family of three; they are truly under her spell.
The most impulsive amongst them is naturally Qin Zhao. They meet annually at the old estate, so it’s familiar; he takes the lead: “I’ve never seen you side with outsiders like this before, defending a mistress and your father, are you out of your mind?”
Zhao Chengle isn’t too reserved with him either. He replies: “Don’t look at me like that, you don’t know the full story. But tell me, if you got married but then met a soulmate, and that soulmate is kind-hearted, refusing to destroy your family but is ready to give their life for you in times of need, can you guarantee you wouldn’t be moved?”
This hypothetical situation leaves many speechless. They listen carefully.
“And I think my dad is quite responsible, once he realized he couldn’t separate from the other, he faced the result decisively. The Zhao family didn’t want him to divorce, neither did she ask for it. But he didn’t want to involve my mom, wanted to give the other person an explanation, and he’s done that well, hasn’t he? I won’t deny my mom’s suffering, but I can also understand his situation. If it were you, could you do better?”
