Chapter 868 Did Not Care About It

“Yes.” Qiu Chenxi came back to the hotel. She bit down hard on her lip, her eyes brimming with tears.

Qi Minlan sighed. Her heart ached for her daughter. “Don’t be too hard on yourself. You are very outstanding. Zhai Sheng may have been engaged to another woman, but one day, he will regret choosing Qiao Nan over you. He lacks discerning power for not choosing you. He mistook the fish eyes for the pearls. He will pay a price for his foolishness. What you have to do now is to live your own life and do so much better than Zhai Sheng.”

Qi Minlan felt bitter as well.

Back then, although it was her family who arranged for her to marry Qiu Qin, she was the one who agreed to the marriage.

When she married Qiu Qin, she told herself that she must live a better life than Zhai Yaohui so that he would regret his wrong decision for having married Miao Jing instead of her.

She wanted to be the greatest regret in Zhai Yaohui’s life.

She had thought of many plans and had sworn to be happier than him. But in the end, it was Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing who led a blessed life, while she was the one who was sorrow-stricken and full of regrets.

Zhai Sheng was as good as the young Zhai Yaohui back then. In other words, like Zhai Yaohui, Zhai Sheng would have great achievements in the future.

It was not easy to find someone who was better than Zhai Sheng and to lead a better life than the Zhai family.

Qi Minlan was a very good example.

Qiu Chenxi let out a breath. “Mom, I will. I understand your words. It is difficult to find someone who is better than Zhai Sheng, but it is easy to be more capable than Qiao Nan. I will become stronger. I want Zhai Sheng to know that he has made a wrong decision. I am the pearl while Qiao Nan is just a fish eye. He has given up on the pearl for a simple fish eye. He will regret it!”

“Yes, Chenxi, I am relieved that you have sorted out your thoughts. Let’s go to Mo Du now. Your grandparents are waiting for us.” In the end, her parents were the only people that she could rely on.

“What about Dad?” Qiu Chenxi frowned at the thought of Qiu Qin, who was arrested.

“Regardless of what happens to your dad, it has nothing to do with us anymore. We are divorced. Besides, he has a mistress. As the saying goes, husband and wife might be living in the same forest, but when faced with adversity, they would fly away in different directions. Some say a friend in need is a friend indeed. I have left him. Let’s see if your dad has good judgment and whether the woman will face hardships with him. It is a pity that I will not be able to know the outcome.”

There was resentment in Qi Minlan’s words. It was an insult to her that the man that she had never liked would dare to betray her.

“Mom, are you no longer angry at Dad?” If not, why did her mother tip her father off on the day they divorced each other? Why would she help her father such that he was almost able to get away?

Qiu Chenxi still felt uneasy at the thought of that.

The first thought that crossed Qiu Chenxi’s mind when she learned that Qiu Qin had fled was whether Zhai Sheng would give her any trouble.

After all, she had all the information. She told her mother everything and therefore, she had the chance to tip her father off.

“How could it be possible that I am no longer angry with him? Your dad is the one person that I hate the most in this life. Back when your grandparents gave me to another family and I changed my surname to Qi, I did not feel as much hatred toward them.” She was betrayed and her dignity was trampled by the person that she spurned the most. Qiu Chenxi, who was still young, would not be able to understand her hatred. “Do you know why I helped your dad when he asked me for help outside the court?”

“Why?” It seemed to be for another reason that she had not thought of. Her mother should no longer have any feelings for her father. If so, what could be the reason?

“Because I want him to have a taste of being disowned dogs. The Qiu family has me to thank for their success today. He owes it to me for what the Qiu family has today. Without me, the Qiu family would not be what they are today. Your dad did not know what it is like to lose one’s house. That’s why he committed such mistakes. We all know what Zhai Sheng is like. If he has targeted someone, there is no way that one can get away from him. At most, your dad will be on the run for a few more days before he is arrested by Zhai Sheng. Do you think it is easy to be on the run? Even if he has a lot of money with him, he has no place to spend them. Do you think I am really helping your dad?”

The most ridiculous thing was that she treated Qiu Qin quite well, yet he dared to have another woman.

She schemed against him and set a trap for him when they filed for divorce. Qiu Qin was so stupid to fall for her trick and to be moved by her, believing that she was sincere in helping him.

Qi Minlan had a chilling look on her face.

It seemed that she had been too nice to Qiu Qin in the past. This was the reason why he dared to have another woman. He wanted a woman who was honey-mouthed and stone-hearted.

Qiu Chenxi sighed. It turned out that this was her mother’s real intention. “Mom, say no more. Let’s go. You have to keep this to yourself. If Dad learns about it…” If he knew the truth, he would hate Qi Minlan to the core.

Qiu Chenxi knew that it was sheer torture to be on the run.

“He will never know about it.” Qi Minlan smiled confidently. “This is the present that I leave for the woman. Since she dares to snatch your father from me, she has to pay a price for it.”

The woman had just started going out with Qiu Qin and he was sent to the prison. Qi Minlan wanted to know what the woman would do now that Qiu Qin was in prison.

She wondered whether the elderly in the Qiu family would be able to realize their dreams of having a grandson or not.

Shi Qing told Shi Peng that Qi Minlan was leaving with Qiu Chenxi. “Dad, Auntie is back to lick grandpa’s boots. What are your thoughts on this?” Shi Qing just realized that her grandpa who was concerned about keeping up appearances had some connections and influence.

Shi Qing was upset that her grandpa who liked to boast never brought this up to her. “Does he have to guard against me just because I am a granddaughter? He did not tell me all these but he was willing to tell them.” Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi were not better than her. Qi Minlan was his daughter while Qiu Chenxi was his maternal granddaughter.

“No, your grandpa did not share this with Qi Minlan. I was the one who told her. In this aspect, your grandpa treats everyone equally.” Shi Peng shook his head, clearing the misunderstanding for his father.

“Hehehe.” Shi Qing sneered. “I don’t care at all!”

Her father knew about her grandpa’s connections and influence, but he never once used them. It turned out that her grandpa might have shared it with her father, but it was never her father’s turn and right to make use of the connections.

Since her father was willing to tell her auntie, it meant that her father did not care about the influences that her grandpa had. He was willing to give the chance to his sister and Qiu Chenxi.
