The next morning, Ji Fei heard that Zhao Chengle had come looking for her on his own initiative. However, Fifth Aunt Qin had made it clear that she didn’t want to see him, so Zhao Chengle was still waiting at the main gate, just a five-minute drive away.
In the end, only Zhao Jianghe managed to meet with Fifth Aunt Qin, signing the divorce papers and finalizing the divorce.
This time, Zhao Jianghe didn’t drag things out and opted to walk away with nothing.
As he watched Fifth Aunt Qin sign without hesitation, Zhao Jianghe sighed heavily, “It’s my fault for letting you down.”
“I don’t want to hear your voice. It makes me sick,” Fifth Aunt Qin said coldly.
Zhao Jianghe was momentarily speechless, letting out another deep sigh, as if he were the most helpless person in the world.
“Let’s not talk about me. What about our son? You really aren’t going to see him?”
“I don’t want him anymore. Why would I go see him?”
“Are you serious? You’re giving up on Le Le?” Zhao Jianghe exclaimed in surprise.
Fifth Aunt Qin let out a cold snort, “Your son is so biased towards the two of you. What use do I have for him? Take him back and let him show filial piety to the both of you.”
Zhao Jianghe immediately retorted, “You’re too cruel! He was just unsure of what to do at the time, wanting family harmony, so he kept it a secret.”
“And later? He supported the two of you getting together?” Fifth Aunt Qin sneered.
Zhao Jianghe paused, “You… you didn’t want to be with me anyway, didn’t you? What was wrong with him supporting that? Could it be that you still…”
“What I needed was his attitude, not his betrayal. Even if I didn’t want to be with you, he shouldn’t have supported a third wheel who destroyed his parents’ relationship. A child with such morals, I can’t bear to raise him,” Fifth Aunt Qin retorted coldly. “Let him call Lu Yunqing ‘mom’ instead.”
Seeing how resolute Fifth Aunt Qin was, Zhao Jianghe was furious. Unable to contain himself, he said, “With a personality so stubborn, you might end up regretting it later. If the boy doesn’t come back, repairing your relationship will be too late.”
“Once I make a decision, I never regret it. The three of you can go to hell for all I care!” Fifth Aunt Qin declared coldly.
She then proceeded to block and delete all contact information of the three of them right in front of Zhao Jianghe.
Zhao Jianghe was so angry his nose almost twisted. Feeling that Fifth Aunt Qin had gone too far, he said with a sneer, “Do you think I’ll live miserably just because I’m walking away with nothing? Even if you’ve taken over the company, you’ll have to sell it at some point. I’ll borrow money if I have to, and I’ll buy it back. I’ll run it even better than before.”
“Oh, that’s fine by me. Although I despise you, I don’t despise money. If you can gather the funds, I can sell it back to you quickly,” Fifth Aunt Qin replied matter-of-factly. She had no desire to let emotions cloud business decisions. Since she wasn’t planning to return, the company was just a burden, so getting rid of it as soon as possible was the best option.
Zhao Jianghe was nearly fuming by this point. Under the watchful eyes of the Qin family, he didn’t dare escalate the conflict further and could only turn and leave.
In the end, Zhao Jianghe took Zhao Chengle with him.
After all, Lu Yunqing couldn’t have children, and Zhao Chengle was Zhao Jianghe’s only son.
Zhao Chengle probably realized that his mother had made up her mind and that further pleading would be useless. He decided to temporarily return with his father to handle the company’s affairs.
With them gone, the Qin household returned to its lively atmosphere, preparing for an upcoming celebration.
However, the grapevine never stops growing, even while eating grapes.
Although Fifth Aunt Qin didn’t want to hear any news about them, Ji Fei was still curious about their fate.
While hanging out in the living room with everyone, she couldn’t help but occasionally check in on them.
[Wow, Zhao Jianghe really went all out to buy back the company. He even promised to continue running it but would share more profits with his brothers. It’s almost like he’s working for them! No wonder they were so willing to pitch in.]
[With Fifth Aunt Qin already knowing about their relationship, the two didn’t bother hiding anymore. They got their marriage certificate the next day after returning and are planning a grand wedding in just a few days. Despite plenty of gossip and criticism within their circle, they seem completely immersed in their love and don’t care. Let’s hope they get pelted with pigeon droppings on their wedding day.]
Qin Second’s family was also distracted by the gossip, wondering why there was no news about Zhao Chengle. Ji Fei didn’t disappoint and quickly brought the latest update.
[Is Zhao Chengle just trying to numb himself? He’s stopped going to school and is fully focused on helping his father with the company. It’s practically like he’s taking over Fifth Aunt Qin’s former role behind the scenes, but he’s not doing a great job. The company’s old guard isn’t too pleased. I wonder if he can still spout the line, ‘The other woman had it tough too,’ haha.]
Qin Second’s family joined in the laughter.
Days passed, and Ji Fei rarely indulged in such remote gossip anymore.
Just as she was about to forget about it all, Fifth Aunt Qin received a call from across the ocean one day, which was directly connected to the old mansion. After the call, Fifth Aunt Qin’s expression became somewhat enigmatic.
During dinner, someone asked her about it.
Fifth Aunt Qin simply said, “It’s no longer my concern.”
Naturally, no one pressed further.
Ji Fei sensed there was a juicy story and immediately became attentive.
Meanwhile, Qin Second’s family was on high alert, wondering what new drama would unfold.
[Holy crap, holy crap… holy crap!]
Hearing the increasingly loud exclamations, Qin Second’s family’s hearts were in their throats. So, what exactly happened?
[It seems like there really is a higher power, a cycle of karma that can’t be escaped. Justice finally caught up with them!]
Qin Second’s family: So, what exactly happened?
At that moment, Fifth Aunt Qin left the dining table early.
[Ahhh, I want to share this explosive and satisfying news so badly, but how do I even bring it up?]
Qin Second’s family was still waiting for Ji Fei to spill the beans.
Suddenly, Qin Xian spoke up, “Zhao Jianghe had an accident.”
Everyone at the table turned their heads in surprise.
Ji Fei looked at Qin Xian in astonishment. [How does my husband know?]
Qin Second’s family: Wait, Ji Fei hasn’t revealed anything yet.
Qin Xian calmly continued, “We can’t let anyone who wronged Fifth Aunt live too well, so I’ve always been keeping an eye on their situation. If they were to prosper, I would have prepared to step in, but that’s no longer necessary.”
The whole family: …
The whole family: !!!!!
The whole family: So that’s why you’re the head of the family. We feel so safe following you!
Ji Fei: [Ahhhh, my husband is so handsome. This is the kind of familial loyalty I love!]
Qin Xian smirked slightly and didn’t keep everyone in suspense, revealing the whole story.
