BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12
Shen Qingyue stopped in her tracks, “Madam Qin.”
She was already prepared to divorce Qin Zhen, so she did not call her ‘mother’.
Madam Qin walked out of the store with Wei Jiu’er following behind her. Madam Qin stopped in front of Shen Qingyue with her usual superior tone. “Qin Zhen said you went back to your parents’ home. What’s going on?”
Shen Qingyue had been on a trip and had just returned today, unaware that she wanted to divorce Qin Zhen.
Shen Qingyue did not say much, only replied, “It’s a private matter.”
Madam Qin frowned. “What’s with your attitude?” She didn’t like Shen Qingyue because several close sisters who were friends with her said that Shen Qingyue marrying into their Gu family was a downward marriage, as if the Qin family was beneath them. A woman should support her husband; otherwise, why would he marry her?
When Shen Qingyue first arrived at the Qin family, Madam Qin had taught her many ‘rules’, and Shen Qingyue had obediently followed them. But now, after just a few days without seeing her, she seemed to have forgotten all about it. If it weren’t for knowing that Shen Qingyue was fond of her son, she would have already confronted her. However, she was still unhappy. “You’re already married, yet you keep going back to your parents’ home. If word gets out, people will think something’s wrong with our Qin family.”
Shen Qingyue suppressed her impatience. “It’s nothing important. I’ll be going now.”
“Wait!” Madam Qin did not let her go. “We just happened to bump into each other today. Come with me to the hospital.”
“Are you sick? Drink more hot water.” After Shen Qingyue finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Madam Qin was furious. “It’s for you to see a doctor! You and Qin Zhen have been married for a year, and you haven’t been to the hospital yet? If you can’t conceive, you should get treated early so that you won’t delay me from having a grandchild.”
Shen Qingyue smiled, a hint of playfulness in her eyes. “Madam Qin, why waste your time with me? Go find your son instead. If I can conceive with him, then it won’t be the Qin family’s lineage anymore.”
Madam Qin was shocked. “What do you mean?”
Shen Qingyue smiled mysteriously. “Just the literal meaning. He couldn’t perform when he was with me! Or, you can ask Wei Jiu’er?”
Wei Jiu’er, who was called out, changed her expression.
“What does this have to do with her?” Madam Qin asked suspiciously.
Shen Qingyue smiled and did not speak. She pulled Chen Ying and left.
After Shen Qingyue left, Madam Qin was not stupid. She quickly reacted and turned to Wei Jiu’er, “Explain to me!”
Wei Jiu’er bit her lower lip and said nothing.
…
As Qin Zhen entered his office, he saw Madam Qin waiting inside. “Mom, why are you here?”
Madam Qin looked at him. “Are you planning to divorce Shen Qingyue?”
Qin Zhen paused. “Who told you? Shen Qingyue?” His first reaction was that Shen Qingyue had changed her mind and sent his mother to persuade him.
“Wei Jiu’er told me,” Madam Qin raised her teacup, thought for a moment, and then put it down. “I know you like Wei Jiu’er! But she can’t become the wife of Qin Corporation’s President, and you can’t divorce Shen Qingyue. Initially, our Qin family borrowed five billion from the Shen family. Even though we have already paid it back, who doesn’t know that the Shen family has done us a favor? If you divorce Shen Qingyue and marry Wei Jiu’er, what do you think people outside will say about us? How much impact will it have on Qin Corporation’s stock price? True, Shen Qingyue has the temperament of a pampered young lady, but her sincere affection for you is something not many can match. Tell her to move back, forget about the divorce. She won’t hold it against you.”
Qin Zhen’s emotions in his eyes were dim and unclear. “It wasn’t me who brought it up.”
Madam Qin didn’t believe it. “Do you think your mom has become senile? Could it be anyone other than her who brought it up?”
Qin Zhen remained silent, effectively admitting it.
The office was silent for a while before Madam Qin frowned and asked, “Is it really her? How is that possible…”
Who did not know how much Shen Qingyue liked Qin Zhen? How many things did he do back then? She wanted to use the entire Shen Corporation to help Qin Zhen.
Although Madam Qin did not like Shen Qingyue, she could rest assured that Shen Qingyue would stay by Qin Zhen’s side. After all, she could not watch her son for the rest of his life, and Shen Qingyue would never hurt her son. However, if it was someone else, it might not be the case. She frowned. “According to Shen Qingyue’s love for you, if you don’t force her into a corner, she wouldn’t divorce you!”
For the first time in his life, Qin Zhen felt powerless. “I didn’t do anything… I splashed a glass of water on her. But that’s because she broke the watch Jiu’er gave me. I…”
“Don’t tell me you’ve been in contact with Wei Jiu’er all these years?” Madam Qin asked.
