chapter 50

In fact, the news that Qin family would bond with Ji family through marriage was spread half a month ago. The Qin family was a famous family and had a very high prestige in the capital. Ji family was at best a scholarly family. And Professor Ji was a professor of the top university in the capital, but that was all. Ji family’s strength was not at the same level as Qin family’s.

The only possibility of the two families joining hands through marriage was that the two young people really loved each other and desired to live together, which was the only possibility that could be speculated by the mass media. Therefore, the mass media had high expectations for Miss Ji, who was married to Qin family.

However, it was surprising that when both of them were about to get engaged, Qin Zheng’s intimacy with many beautiful women was frequently reported by some media in the capital. In addition, according to an insider, Qin Zheng also had a female confidant who had been with him for half a year. However, the media did not take any photos of the woman.

As soon as the news came out, the public opinion of the media on the marriage between Qin family and Ji family changed. At first, some media commented that Miss Ji was a very capable woman and could fascinate the young master of the Qin family. But at that moment, that was not the case at all. It could only be said that a rich man fell in love with the woman who was born into an ordinary family, but he was impossible to only love this woman all the time.

Qin Zheng’s intimate contact with other women a few days before his engagement showed that he didn’t love this woman of Ji family anymore. So some media speculated that Miss Ji must be out of favor and that the engagement ceremony might have been cancelled.

At that time, Ji family, even Ji Chunlin, was also very angry. After all, he was Ji Ruoyun’s father, and he was very sad because his daughter had suffered so much grievance, “What’s the matter with Qin Zheng? He used to look like a good man, but these days he had done such a shameful thing. Does he find other women to meet his sexual needs because Xuewei is pregnant? My daughter can’t marry such a man.”

Ji Chunlin was rather old-fashioned and inflexible, so his first reaction to these gossips was to cancel the marriage. ‘Do the Ji family try to ingratiate themselves with the Qin family?’ Even if he had never experienced the dirty things of rich and powerful families, he had heard a lot of them. He didn’t want his daughter to suffer those setbacks.

Fang Youlan sighed, “What do you mean by saying that? If our daughter is not pregnant, the engagement can be cancelled. But now that our daughter is pregnant, we can’t easily cancel the engagement. Since the Qin family didn’t intend to cancel the engagement, the engagement could only be carried out according to the original plan.”

‘So we have to ignore the media’s insults to Ji family?’ Ji Chunlin couldn’t stand being insulted. But seeing that his wife and daughter had no objection to the engagement, he didn’t bother to think about all these troubles, and went back to his study to continue reading.

Fang Youlan asked her daughter secretly, “What do you think in your mind? I haven’t heard before that he likes to go to the nightclub to sleep around. When did he start going to the nightclub?”

Ji Xuewei was also flustered with anger, “Mom, if I knew when he started going to the nightclub, would I allow this to happen? In the past, when I was not pregnant, he seldom touched me. Now he doesn’t even bother to look at me. Now he would rather touch those filthy sluts. I don’t know what he’s thinking.”

“Don’t you feel aggrieved? Wouldn’t you regret being engaged like this?”

Jixuewei gritted her teeth, nodded and went back to her bedroom. She stayed alone for a long time and found that Qin Zheng seemed a little abnormal. Although she had only been with Qin Zheng for more than a year, she knew Qin Zheng well.

He didn’t like going to nightclubs, but he went there frequently when they were about to get engaged, and deliberately asked the media to report on his affairs. It was not an accident. It was more like an intentional act. ‘His purpose must be to provoke me.’

Ji Xuewei thought of the possibility that Qin Zheng was warning her. And she also knew what Qin Zheng was warning. Thinking of this, Ji Xuewei would like to run to Ji Xiaoli’s villa and interrogated her carefully, ‘She was already married, why does she still keep thinking about my betrothed?’

‘I just want to teach her a lesson, but Qin Zheng always defends that bitch. Why is it always me who get hurt?’ Ji Xuewei was very sad.

‘In fact, I don’t completely lose to her this time. But next time she won’t be so lucky. Qin family don’t accept her as a family member now. It’s not so easy for an orphan girl to survive in the most powerful family in the capital.’ Ji Xuewei suddenly lowered her head and looked at her flat stomach with a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes.

Since the news of those media was released, Ji Xiaoli knew who did it. So she interrogated Qin Zhenyang in bed that night, “Did you also participate in Qin Zheng’s news event?”

“Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” Qin Zhenyang caressed Ji Xiaoli’s smooth skin while pretending not to understand what Ji Xiaoli was talking about.

Even if Qin Zhenyang didn’t tell Ji Xiaoli the truth, Ji Xiaoli could guess the truth, “Qin Zheng seldom used to go to nightclubs before, but now he often goes to such places before he is engaged. I believe there must be a reason for this. Moreover, few media in the capital are not afraid of the power of the Qin family. The media should inform the Qin family in advance before reporting. So…”

Before Ji Xiaoli finished speaking, Qin Zhenyang used his body to press her and kissed her heavily. After a deep kiss, Ji Xiaoli gasped gently and said, “Don’t try to muddle through this matter. Tell me the truth.”

“My dear wife, your worries are unnecessary. Qin Zheng was willing to let these things happen even if I participated in it. But my wife, you know so well about my nephew. Aren’t you afraid I’m jealous of him?” Qin Zhenyang said to Ji Xiaoli in a gloomy way.

Ji Xiaoli felt both angry and funny. She gently beat Qin Zhenyang twice on the chest before saying, “Stop messing with me. I’m talking something serious. Qin Zheng is really my ex-boyfriend. But that is a long time ago. You also know that Qin Zheng and I have no contact at all now. But I think since I can think of it, Ji Xuewei should also be able to think that there must be a reason behind this.”

Qin Zhenyang narrowed his eyes and slightly raised his labial angles, seeming to be thinking about something, “What if she knows? This is a warning to her. You’re my wife now, and you’re not in her way. And she always provokes you, and if I don’t warn her, she may continue to provoke you. Since she likes Qin Zheng, she should pay more attention to her behavior in the future.”

Ji Xiaoli nodded, and didn’t say anything. After living in the Ji family for so many years, she knew more about Ji Xuewei than Qin Zhenyang and Qin Zheng. Ji Xuewei was definitely not the kind of woman who easily admitted defeat and compromised. She would hate anyone who hurt her, and sooner or later she would take revenge crazily.

Knowing her intentions, Ji Xiaoli decided to stay away from her, ‘I will stay away from her in the future to avoid unnecessary troubles.’

The engagement day of Ji Xuewei and Qin Zheng had finally arrived, and outsiders had to comment on the Qin family’s willingness to continue the marriage. But anyway, outsiders were still curious about how this Miss Ji looked.

“It’s your fault. I originally set the alarm at 7:30, but you turned it off.” Ji Xiaoli scratched her hair helplessly. Although she didn’t want to attend the engagement banquet, she was still a member of the Ji family. In addition, she had registered marriage with Qin Zhenyang. Anyway, she had to attend the engagement banquet, especially when she received an invitation.

Last night Ji Xiaoli was exhausted by Qin Zhenyang’s private parts, so she slept soundly. In the morning, Qin Zhenyang directly turned off the alarm clock. It was already nine o’clock when Ji Xiaoli got up from bed.

The time marked on the invitation was 10 a.m., so they had time to rush to the engagement banquet.

Only the Qin family’s attitude towards Ji Xiaoli had not been very friendly. If she was late this time, the Qin family’s attitude towards Ji Xiaoli would be even worse.

Qin Zhenyang didn’t think so, “We’re going to the engagement banquet, which is just a form, so it doesn’t matter if it’s earlier or later. I’ve negotiated with my parents. They won’t embarrass you.”

‘Embarrassing or not is not the same thing as liking or not.’ Ji Xiaoli didn’t expect Qin Zhenyang’s mother to like her. She just hoped that Qin Zhenyang’s mother wouldn’t hate her.

When on the road, Ji Xiaoli was inevitably nervous, “Our marriage has not been made public. Is it appropriate for me to be with you?”

“What are you worried about? You are my wife. It’s normal to stand with me. If someone asks about it, you can tell the truth.”

Ji Xiaoli hesitated. After all, their marriage had not been made public. And Qin Zhenyang’s parents didn’t approve their marriage. In addition, Qin Zheng and Qin Zhenyang were from the same family, and Qin Zhenyang was Qin Zheng’s uncle. The two sisters of Ji family married into Qin family at the same time, which would surely become the focus of media.

“Don’t think much about it. Although we only registered for marriage, our wedding will be held sooner or later. I’ll discuss it with my parents. There should be no big problem. Besides, you’re not alone today. I’ll be with you.” Qin Zhenyang reached out to catch her hand in an attempt to reassure her.

‘It’s no use worrying about what should come sooner or later.’ Ji Xiaoli tried to adjust her mood, ‘After all, today’s heroine is Ji Xuewei. I’m just an audience. Maybe things are not as bad as I imagine.’

But she always felt that something would happen.

By the time they arrived, most of the guests had arrived. Although it was just an engagement banquet, most of very important persons in the capital had been invited. The Qin family had no immediate family members in politics, so they didn’t need to worry too much and keep a low profile.

People were very curious about how the heroine looked today, and they wanted to see her face in person. Qin Zheng’s temperament was different from Qin Zhenyang’s. Qin Zheng had the demeanor of aristocratic children, unlike those dandies in the capital. In particular, he joined the family business of the Qin family, which attracted a lot of unmarried girls of rich families.

In any case, no matter how good Qin Zheng was, he was also a married man, and the unmarried girls of rich families could not help being disappointed of it. Then some people inevitably turned their attention to Qin Zhenyang.

“That young master of the Qin family is single.”

However, before long, Qin Zhenyang arrived at the engagement banquet with his female companion. Qin Zhenyang and Ji Xiaoli’s hand-in-hand etiquette surprised everyone.

Qin Zhenyang had always kept a distance from women. But at that day, he attended Qin Zheng’s engagement banquet with a woman. And that woman seemed to have an unusual relationship with Qin Zhenyang.

When the unmarried girls of rich families were curious about Qin Zheng’s wife, they were even more curious about the beautiful woman beside Qin Zhenyang.

Ji Xiaoli had always put a light smile. Especially when she saw the jealous expressions of those girls, she could not help but whisper to Qin Zhenyang, “Have you noticed that many people are coveting my position? These girls must hate me.”

“Do you have a sense of crisis?” Qin Zhenyang said cynically.

“What do you think?” Ji Xiaoli glanced at him.

Both husband and wife looked at each other implicitly. Qin Zhenyang naturally reached for his wife’s hand. The observant and conscientious persons would naturally see this sweet scene.

At that time, everyone’s attention was not on them, but on Ji Xuewei. The heroine of the engagement banquet came down gracefully from the upstairs holding Qin Zheng’s hand, and glanced at Ji Xiaoli slightly.
