Chapter 1872: Be Careful

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

If Zhai Sheng had not gotten a divorce from her and had instead given her a chance to live like a normal couple, she would never have gotten into such a lifestyle and thrown her health away after such a loss.

It was only because Zhai Sheng had divorced her that she had abandoned herself and allowed herself to fall into such dire straits. Zhai Sheng had to take up seventy percent of that responsibility. So was she wrong to demand that Zhai Sheng reconcile with her and take responsibility of her for the rest of her life? She had done nothing wrong. This was just what Zhai Sheng should have done in the first place!

Qi Minlan was rendered speechless. No matter how terrible she was, this was still her own daughter, after all. Qi Minlan felt pangs of pain in her chest. She could not say any nasty things to her daughter since she had been the one who had raised her daughter in this manner. As such, scolding her daughter would be akin to scolding herself.

Yet, if she did not scold her daughter, Qi Minlan knew that Qiu Chenxi’s mindset would remain wrong. It was horribly wrong. Not only would Qiu Chenxi never be able to get back together with Zhai Sheng, but she would even have to worry about whether her daughter, who should have become a grandma in a few years’ time, would live well up until her death. She worried that her daughter’s life would only get more miserable as she aged.

Qi Minlan, who was in a huge dilemma, had no choice but to press the button to end the call.

“Hello, Mom? Mom?” The dial tone beeped. Qiu Chenxi thought that the call had ended because the signal in Qingshui Town was not good. But when she tried to make another call, the person in question directly declined her call. When she returned from her trance, she finally realized that her mom had hung up on her. This had nothing to do with the signal.

“Everyone is trying to come against me one by one. Will they only be happy when they see that I’m leading a miserable life?!” Qiu Chenxi threw her phone onto her bed. Even her biological mother was acting in this manner. In an instant, Qiu Chenxi lost much of her previous confidence of being able to remarry Zhai Sheng.

If Qi Minlan had been in front of Qiu Chenxi, Qiu Chenxi would definitely have asked her mom, “Am I your daughter, or is Zhai Sheng your son? If even you don’t stand on my side at this point in time, how am I going to persevere?”

Of course, Qi Minlan was not in front of Qiu Chenxi. In fact, she had even refused to pick up Qiu Chenxi’s phone call. As such, Qi Minlan had very cleverly dodged this question.

The enraged Qiu Chenxi was obviously not going to let these small ‘setbacks’ and the discouragement of ‘outsiders’ get her down. She was not going to give up her dream of a bright and glorious future just like that.

That was all right. It did not matter if everyone thought badly of her plan. The only opinion that mattered was her own. Faith could move mountains. Had she not successfully gotten married to Zhai Sheng at that time because of this faith?

If she could succeed once, there would naturally be a second time. The difference was that she had had absolute confidence that begging for the Zhai family’s mercy and forgiveness would be more than enough before she had arrived here.

The problem was that the Zhai family’s caretaker had said some disconcerting things. If there truly was a woman by Zhai Sheng’s side, this woman was greatly disadvantageous to her.

Even if this woman had a hundred, or even a thousand, flaws compared to her, there was one thing that Qiu Chenxi could never match up to. That woman had never betrayed Zhai Sheng. That was Qiu Chenxi’s Achilles’ heel.

Moreover, given the Zhai family’s background, it was not at all difficult for Zhai Sheng to find a woman who was better than her in more than just one way. If Zhai Sheng did not even discriminate against a woman like that, what should she do to win Zhai Sheng back?

After contemplating it for a long time, Qiu Chenxi finally decided that the first thing she had to do was to find that woman. She had to soften her attitude toward the Zhai family. They would never give in to her just because of her headstrong attitude. But she could do that to this woman! She had to let that woman know that she was the third party, who had ruined her blissful marriage with Zhai Sheng. She had to make that woman take the initiative to leave Zhai Sheng.

As long as this woman left and was unwilling to marry Zhai Sheng, the Zhai family would have no other choice but to reconsider her. It was just that it would not be easy making that woman leave Zhai Sheng. No fool would give up a man like Zhai Sheng, who had such a good background.

Qiu Chenxi, who had had her fun outside, realized one advantage of Zhai Sheng. Compared to other men, Zhai Sheng would never betray her or do anything to put their marriage in danger. He would never get into a complicated relationship with other women, causing her to be called ‘an old hag’ by that third party either.

Because she had seen arrogant mistresses bullying the legal wives to tears, Qiu Chenxi had never agreed to marry any of those men whom she had slept with, even if they were willing to do so. All along, Qiu Chenxi had always been passionate in bed but did not care about them once she changed into her clothes. In fact, she was even more decisive than men in this aspect.

With those men as comparisons, Qiu Chenxi finally understood that Zhai Sheng might have spent very little time at home with her, but Zhai Sheng was, in fact, the most reliable one, who would never cause a scene for his wife. Qiu Chenxi had once been the one to cause a scene for a man’s wife, but Qiu Chenxi would never wish for a day when her husband would bring home a younger and more beautiful woman to provoke her and call her old and ugly.

Upon calming down, the first thing Qiu Chenxi did was to move to a different hotel—one that was nearer to the Zhai family’s old villa, from which she would be able to spy on the Zhai family’s old villa with a telescope. She believed that she would definitely be able to catch that vixen by keeping a close eye on the Zhai family’s old villa.

Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had been downright disgusted by Qiu Chenxi chasing Zhai Sheng all the way to Qingshui Town, even declaring to Sister Zhao that she was the family’s mistress.

“Is there anything wrong?” Zhai Sheng was surprised that Zhai Yaohui had come to find him. “Do you want to go back already?” Zhai Sheng did not make clear whether he was asking about returning to Ping Cheng or the capital, but Zhai Sheng thought that it was more likely for the elderly couple to return to Ping Cheng since they had got along well with Jiajia over the new year.

He could tell that Jiajia was more like the Zhai family than the Wei family and had a good temper. She was quite a good niece indeed.

“You can’t wait for us to leave?” Zhai Yaohui eyed Zhai Sheng from the corners of his eye. “But I’m not here with good news. Qiu Chenxi is in Qingshui Town. I’m sure you know quite a lot about her situation. She still hasn’t given up. Qiao Nan is quite a decent lady, though she lacks a temper. Given Qiu Chenxi’s way of doing things, be careful that Qiao Nan might just get frightened and bullied away by Qiu Chenxi if you don’t keep an eye on her!”
