chapter 65

“Why do you think so?” Ji Xiaoli pursed her lips, and she seemed to show a faint smile.

Qin Zhenyang hugged his wife tightly, then he said helplessly, “I know you’re not happy. I know my mom best. If she doesn’t like a person, she will try her best to say something to slander that person. You know I don’t agree with them. But in fact, I am also implicated by them. Xiao Li, I know you regret marrying me. Just like you said, you don’t want to be a member of Qin family. But we’re married. We can’t change that at all.”

Ji Xiaoli said indifferently, “You are not right. As your mother said, as long as we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorce procedures, you can get rid of me completely. Then you can marry a girl from respectable family who satisfies your parents. As for me…”

“It’s impossible.” Qin Zhenyang arbitrarily denied the possibility.

“Why not? I’m very happy with you. But even so, I can’t change the fact that your parents don’t accept me.” The Old Lady was determined not to allow Ji Xiaoli to destroy her son’s future.

Qin Zhenyang frowned, “I can follow your arrangements for everything else. But divorce is not possible. On the first day we registered for marriage, I told you that we would never get divorced. You can stay away from the Qin family for the time being. I will slowly convince my parents. Before that, we will live in this villa. Now my elder brother lives in the Qin family. I will move out sooner or later. The two of us will live in this villa in the future.’

Ji Xiaoli knew that her husband was very stubborn. To her surprise, he was so stubborn. Although she was a little angry with the Old Lady, seeing Qin Zhenyang’s resolute attitude, she had to follow his arrangement.

“You mentioned Concubine Chen just now. Does the Old Man really have two wives?” She was surprised, “In this society, a man actually has two wives.”

After listening to Ji Xiaoli’s words, Qin Zhenyang said calmly, “My father’s first wife was my mother. As you heard, Concubine Chen is just a concubine. My second brother was born by Concubine Chen.”

‘The second elder brother?’

She always knew that the Old Man had an oldest son, and she had never heard of his second son, ‘So this is why I haven’t heard of Qin Zhenyang’s second brother.’

“Isn’t your second brother in the Qin family now?”

Qin Zhenyang nodded, “My second brother is not at home now, and he has immigrated to the United States a long time ago. If my second brother is also at home, he will certainly join the Qin Family Group. At that time, there will be conflicts between the eldest brother and the second brother, which will be detrimental to the Qin Family Group.”

Ji Xiaoli understood Qin Zhenyang’s meaning, “Will they come back all of a sudden? After all, your second brother is also the son of the Old Man. And doesn’t the Old Man miss his son?”

As a child, Qin Zhenyang hated his second brother and Concubine Chen very much. But now, he didn’t hate them anymore. When he was very young, his second brother went abroad. However, he once met Concubine Chen. The woman was much younger than his father, beautiful and shrewd. If such a woman were in the Qin family, his mother would be very miserable.

His mother was a daughter of an eminent family, who was well matched with his father. So his mother was a traditional woman. Concubine Chen, born in an ordinary family, knew how to please men. So that was why his mother hated Concubine Chen most.

Hearing his plain narration, Ji Xiaoli finally understood why the Old Lady had been so mean, ‘It turns out that the Old Lady has a very traditional concept of family status.’ But even so, Concubine Chen, who was born in an ordinary family, still became the Old Man’s concubine and gave birth to a son.

This was the most irritating thing for the Old Lady. So she wanted to control her son’s marriage. She hoped to find a unmarried girl of a rich family for her son.

The corners of Ji Xiaoli’s mouth twitched. In addition to bemoaning the Old Lady’s experience, she was also more curious about Concubine Chen, “Is Concubine Chen still alive in America?”

“Concubine Chen is only fifty. She now lives in the United States, and her son is now well-known on Wall Street.” If the Old Man’s second son returned to the Qin family in the future, he would probably compete with the Old Man’s eldest son for the control of the Qin Family Group.

However, if such a thing happened, Qin Zhenyang would not sit by idly and remain indifferent. After all, he and his oldest brother were his mother’s own sons.

Ji Xiaoli didn’t know what Qin Zhenyang was thinking. She seemed a little tired. When she worked in the company before, she should have been drawing a design draft at this time. These days, she was preparing to set up a studio. Since she was in the initial stage of preparing the studio, she was not very busy. So she was sleepy before half past nine.

She yawned lazily. Suddenly she thought of Ji Xuewei. She couldn’t help laughing, “Now I can’t get the approval of the Qin family. I don’t know what Ji Xuewei is busy with these days… If she is really capable, she will hide it all her life. Sometimes, I really admire her means.”

Ji Xuewei could even sacrifice her health to frame Ji Xiaoli. Especially the last time, in order to create a miserable scene, she deliberately cut her own body with the scraps of the vase, which looked bloody and made people feel sympathetic.

After listening to Ji Xiaoli’s words, Qin Zhenyang said meaningfully, “Her tactics were really powerful, and she has succeeded in deceiving a lot of people. But I’m afraid it’s a little difficult for her to hide it all the time.”

After listening to Qin Zhenyang’s words, Ji Xiaoli grabbed him and shook his arm several times, “What do you mean? Has she been discovered?”

“As early as the moment Situ Liuli dealt with you, I warned her. But this woman refused to mend her ways after repeated education. Out of respect for Qin Zheng, I forgave her before. But this time, since she wants to make a big deal of it, I will help her.” Qin Zhenyang touched his wife’s smooth long hair. His grim expression showed that he would not be willing to take things lying down.

Ji Xiaoli didn’t know her husband’s plan. However, she intuitively thought that Ji Xuewei was definitely going to fall on hard time.

In fact, after Qin Zheng knew about it, Ji Xuewei was worried that he would expose her in front of the Qin family. If Qin zheng told the Qin family about this, she might not be able to marry into the Qin family.

On that night, during Qin Zheng’s short stay with her in the hospital, Ji Xuewei tried every means to make a good impression on Qin Zheng. She knew that Qin Zheng liked pure and lovely women. And during this time, she seemed to have become much quieter.

She took off her hospital gown and her long and soft hair fell scattered on her shoulders. Then she reached out and put her arm around Qin Zheng’s neck. But Qin Zheng avoided her.

“Put on your clothes. You are in the hospital now, and you are shameless!” Although he didn’t tell his family about it. But in his impression, Ji Xuewei had become a cruel woman. Because of this matter, his only little love for Ji Xuewei had already disappeared.

Looking at Ji Xuewei, he seemed to be looking at a stranger. Looking at Ji Xuewei trying to seduce him, he suddenly remembered what happened in that small apartment. At that time, Ji Xiaoli was his girlfriend. And Ji Xuewei hugged him from behind him when he was drunk. At that time, Ji Xuewei held him naked. He couldn’t stand this temptation, so they had sex.

At this time, Qin Zheng felt sick and irritable about such seduction. He even felt guilty about Ji Xiaoli. These were all evidence of his betrayal of Ji Xiaoli.

After hearing Qin Zheng’s words, Ji Xuewei couldn’t help crying, “Qin Zheng, how can you say that about me? Am I shameless? How many days have you not touched me? Even if I’m really pregnant, why don’t you come to see me? I’m your fiancee. Am I shameless to do such a thing? If Ji Xiaoli does the same thing to you today, was she shameless?”

She was pretending to be wronged, but what she said was also her innermost thoughts and feelings, ‘In what ways am I inferior to that woman? Why is he more and more indifferent to me?’

Qin Zheng sighed, “She’s already my third uncle’s wife. I can’t be with her anymore.”

“If they were not together, would I be abandoned by you as a matter of course? Will you choose her again?” Qin Zheng did not reply to her, but he already had a positive answer in his heart.

Breaking up with Ji Xiaoli was not the real intention of Qin Zheng. Now he still missed Ji Xiaoli, ‘But she has become my third uncle’s woman.’

Just as Ji Xuewei said, if Ji Xiaoli was the one who seduced him just now, he would be very happy.

But he knew Ji Xiaoli would never seduce him, ‘If she was reluctant to part with me, we couldn’t have broken up.’

‘But if she really seduces me, I’m afraid I’ve already been fascinated by her.’ However, Qin Zheng also knew that these assumptions could not happen.

“Put on your clothes. My mother may come to visit you in a while. I said that Ji Xiaoli and I couldn’t be together any more, so don’t make blind and disorderly conjectures.”

Ji Xuewei certainly didn’t believe Qin Zheng’s words. She could feel that he was still missing Ji Xiaoli, ‘Does he regret breaking up with Ji Xiaoli?’

Ji Xuewei knew that only after she got married with Qin Zheng, could she really become the daughter-in-law of the Qin family.

“A’Zheng, will you tell your mother about this?” She asked tentatively.

Qin Zheng was impatient and gave her a cold look. Then he said, “I didn’t tell my mother about it. It’s just that you’ve gone too far. You don’t like your sister, but she is my third uncle’s wife. Xuewei, I have respected my third uncle since I was a child. So I don’t want you to hurt Ji Xiaoli again to destroy my relationship with my third uncle. If you do that again, you will be punished as you deserve.”

Qin Zheng wanted to give her another chance to correct her errors and make a fresh start. But he didn’t know that some people didn’t know how to correct her mistakes.

Hearing Qin Zheng’s words, Ji Xuewei seemed to be very obedient. She nodded quickly, “I won’t do it again. This time I did something wrong because I was jealous of my sister. I really won’t do so again. I hope you give me another chance…”

In fact, for Ji Xuewei, if she failed this time, she would revenge Ji Xiaoli even more severely next time.

Qin Zhenyang had always pursued the principle of not to do anything more than three times. And he seemed to have guessed that Qin Zheng might easily forgive her. So before that, he had implemented a vicious plan.

This plan was the last move to deal with Ji Xuewei.
