Chapter 150 - 150: I Hope You Make a Choice
Ling Bing’er could not hold back any longer and burst out with a torrent of curses, “Shen Qingyue, are you doing this on purpose? You made me run so far to get my bag! Now you better give me my bag…”
Shen Qingyue hung up the phone directly and, as an afterthought, powered off her phone. She did not care how many times the other person called.
When Ling Bing’er called again, it showed that the phone was already powered off. Frustrated, she threw her phone on the ground, shattering her brand-new device. Thinking about the money she had just lost, she stomped her feet in anger.
Madam Qin arrived at the hospital carrying chicken soup. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Ling Bing’er stomping her feet in the corridor, uttering foul language. Her face displayed a hint of displeasure. She cared for Ling Bing’er, after all, she was her deceased sister’s only child. However, possibly due to her mother’s early passing and her father’s lack of attention, she became increasingly difficult to manage.
After Ling Bing’er had vented her frustration, she finally noticed Madam Qin and immediately put on a smiling face. “Auntie, you’re here.”
Madam Qin frowned. “Who has upset you again? We’re in public; can’t you be more composed?”
“I know… But it’s Shen Qingyue again. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so angry!” Ling Bing’er gritted her teeth. “Auntie, didn’t you suppress the Shen Group’s business before? How is it that Shen Qingyue seems to be just fine? She can still run around freely?”
Bringing up this topic made Madam Qin’s frown even more severe, and her tone became stern. After all, she had blocked so many business deals, but there were still people willing to cooperate with Shen Qingyue. She had worked tirelessly and even used many favors, and it was all for nothing. Now, with Ling Bing’er asking about it at this moment, she lost her patience. “Mentioning her is bad luck. Enough, let’s go inside and see Zhen.”
Ling Bing’er suddenly said, “Auntie, do you know about the situation where Shen Qingyue bullied my brother and Jiu’er?”
Madam Qin frowned. “What happened?”
Ling Bing’er quickly explained the incident about the car being vandalized. A shadow fell over Madam Qin’s face. “Is this true?”
Ling Bing’er nodded. “Why would I lie to you? The key thing is that… Brother didn’t even ask Shen Qingyue for compensation. I suspect he might still have feelings for her! Aunt, you can’t let this go easily. My brother is preparing to marry Jiu’er, and Shen Qingyue is trying to seduce him. This woman just can’t stand to see my brother happy. You mustn’t let her off lightly!”
Madam Qin’s face darkened, but she remained silent as she walked into the hospital room.
As soon as she entered, she saw a nurse changing the dressing on Qin Zhen’s wound.
Madam Qin suppressed her anger and said to the nurse, “Please step outside.”
This was a private hospital, and customer service was paramount. Even though the nurses hadn’t finished changing the dressing, they stopped and left the room.
The door to the hospital room was closed, and Madam Qin asked, “Shen
Qingyue vandalized the car you gave to Jiu’er?”
Qin Zhen glanced at Ling Bing’er, who was lingering near the door. “Did she tell you?”
Madam Qin didn’t hide anything. “Yes, Bing’er mentioned it. She also said you didn’t ask Shen Qingyue for compensation?”
Qin Zhen pursed his lips. “Yes.”
Madam Qin’s expression grew more serious. “Qin Zhen, what exactly are you thinking? You insisted on marrying Wei Jiu’er despite my objections. Now that I’ve finally agreed, are you having second thoughts? Do you want to rekindle things with Shen Qingyue?”
“I don’t,” Qin Zhen replied quickly. He had only briefly considered giving up on marrying Wei Jiu’er, but rationally, he still wanted to go through with it.
However, even though he said that, Madam Qin was not reassured. She knew her son too well. Just by looking at his expression, she could tell he was hesitating. She sighed suddenly. “Zhen, if you’ve decided to marry Wei Jiu’er, you should completely put aside any thoughts of Shen Qingyue. I don’t want you to be like your father! If you’re not sure, then don’t get married. It’s a responsibility to both you and the company. I don’t want Qin Corporation to have to manage public relations because of your personal life again.” Madam Qin remembered what Qin Zhen’s father had done in the past, and it still weighed heavily on her.
Qin Zhen remained silent for a long time. “I’ve made up my mind. I will marry Wei Jiu’er.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin fell silent for a while longer before finally leaving the room to allow the waiting nurse to continue with the dressing change.
Qin Zhen’s mind was in turmoil. He leaned back on the hospital bed and slowly closed his eyes.
In the afternoon, Shen Qingyue arrived in Jianghai City by plane at 2 0’clock. She went straight to meet with her clients without a break. When she finished her work and returned to the hotel, the night had already fallen. Despite the late hour, she did not rest. Instead, she took out a travel guide, planning to explore the city the next morning, even though she only had a few hours of free time. Nevertheless, she was content with her busy schedule..
