Chapter 75: A Bit of a Serious Illness

Sang Wan is certainly not concerned, just very curious.

Song Huan Yan is also quite curious.

The two look toward Qin Jiao Jiao.

Qin Jiao Jiao has disheveled hair, a face flushed bright red, drenched in sweat, bristling with anger, and is overall quite a mess.

She immediately snaps at Sang Wan, "What does it have to do with you?"

Sang Wan shrugs, "Just asking, why are you so fierce?"

Qin Jiao Jiao retorts angrily, "You want to see me as a joke? No way! On what grounds do I get a divorce?"

Sang Wan laughs, "Alright, alright, whether you divorce is your business; you chose to sleep with a brute every day, nobody can blame you."

Qin Jiao Jiao explodes, "Who are you calling a brute? My husband was just momentarily misguided! If no one had tempted him, how could he have done this?"

Song Huan Yan: "?"

Song Huan Yan is thoroughly disgusted and says, "Get out quickly, go home and argue."

The three of them left.

Sang Wan is speechless, "Sure enough, they're a family of top‑tier oddballs. This is the little 'Jiao' wife, right? Tormented hundreds of times yet still like first love? She even flips the script, saying it's because you tempted Li Zihang? Damn, that's really sick. And I called Li Zihang a brute, and she turned around and insulted me?"

Song Huan Yan says, "If you can't understand, don't try to."

Sang Wan nods, "Hmm, can't understand at all."

Then adds, "I don't know how they'll handle it when they get home."

Song Huan Yan shakes her head, "I don't know either, and I'm not interested. Anyway they're a nest of snakes and rats."

To deal with Li Zihang, Qin Zi Mo didn't even go to the set, and brought him back to the Bieshu.

Back at the Bieshu, Qin Zi Mo was even angrier, threatening to maim Li Zihang.

Li Zihang quickly thought of an explanation, kneeling immediately, "Big brother, I did this to test Song Huan Yan for you!"

Qin Zi Mo doesn't believe his excuse at all, sneering, "Go fool around with ghosts. Suppose, suppose Yan Yan agreed? If she agreed to be with you, would you still tell me it was to help me? You're probably… already gathering evidence to hand to her, destroying our Qin Family, and then you, this high‑school dropout, would soar straight up! You're truly vicious; our whole family has bled for you, treated you as kin, and you want us dead!"

After finishing, Qin Zi Mo is even more furious, pulls out a belt and prepares to keep beating Li Zihang.

Li Zihang grabs his hand, "It's not, big brother, it's not like that. How could Song Huan Yan possibly look at me?"

"Stop defending yourself," Qin Zi Mo says, "You told her everything, just didn't snitch on Qiao An! You even explained clearly how our whole family plotted against her."

Qin Family parents were also present; when asked the reason, they got so angry they almost fainted to death.

Li Peilan points at Li Zihang and scolds, "So you're not really family at all, you… you're trying to ruin us, hogging all the wealth and honor for yourself! You don't even want a wife or children. Beat him, beat him to death, he's truly an ungrateful white‑eyed wolf!"

Li Zihang insists he was helping Qin Zi Mo test, begging Qin Jiao Jiao to forgive him.

But Qin Zi Mo doesn't listen at all, not even believing him even if he were dead, and directly hangs Li Zihang on a tree in the courtyard to beat him to death.

The beating is blood‑splattered, with continuous wails.

Qin Zi Mo, thinking of the snitching words Li Zihang mentioned, feels lingering dread and breaks into a cold sweat.

Fortunately Song Huan Yan didn't believe it, otherwise he would have been crushed to pieces.

Until Li Zihang is beaten half to death, Li Peilan finally says, "Alright, don't actually cause a death."

Qin Zi Mo himself is also exhausted from beating.

Qin Jiao Jiao keeps crying and sobbing.

Li Zihang has already fainted.

Li Peilan asks Qin Jiao Jiao, "How do you want to handle it?"

Qin Jiao Jiao cries, "What can we do? We can't just leave the child without a father, right? Besides, what he said isn't without reason; maybe he really wanted to test big brother. Anyway I won't let anyone make a joke of me; we already have a child, who would divorce!"

Li Peilan sighs, "Fine. You can protect him if you want. Anyway he now has leverage in your hands, so handle it yourself."

Turning, Li Peilan advises Qin Zi Mo a couple more sentences, "He committed such a mistake, so the only thing is for us to control him; considering Jianye's reputation, we can let it pass. Fortunately it didn't become a major disaster; hasn't Song Huan Yan believed not a single word? She certainly has you in her heart, it's impossible for her to ruin you, she even wants to lift you up to the clouds. So just treat Li Zihang as having helped you test."

Qin Jiao Jiao also says, "Exactly. Big brother, just forgive Zihang! The more they want to see me divorce, the less I will divorce; I still want to be loving with Zihang! Otherwise I can't swallow this. Tomorrow I'll show them my affection, I will never divorce. They themselves have no husband or children, they actually hope others end up like them."

Qin Zi Mo, however, doesn't want to keep Li Zihang, looks at Qin Jiao Jiao and scolds, "Are you now unable to live without a man? He's already done something like this; he'll abandon wife and child for profit at any time. You're about to become a star; why keep such a man? Divorce! Let him get out of our Qin Family, go beg for food. The child can't go to him either; let him crawl away alone. As for that big manager, once he leaves Qin Family he's nothing. If he can make it in Kyoto, that's my defeat."

Qin Jiao Jiao cries, "Big brother, just forgive him. After this, he won't do it again, trust me."

Qin Zi Mo tears off his tie, "Impossible. When he wakes up, let him roll away; I won't send him to a hospital, let him fend for himself!"

The next day.

Song Huan Yan and Sang Wan are both speculating about what will happen between Qin Jiao Jiao and Li Zihang.

Even if they don't divorce, they'll probably have a cold war for a while, or their relationship will break, just not divorce.

Tang Chenge heard this, was quite gossipy and happy, saying it's karma, after all the Qin Family are all villains, none good, they deserve it.

She was so gossipy today she didn't want to go to the set at all, letting the executive director watch, but she ran to the company herself, ready to see if there's any good drama to watch.

As a result… there really was good drama to watch.

Qin Jiao Jiao not only came to the company herself, but also brought Li Zihang to the company!

She didn't let him go to the set with Qin Zi Mo.

Not only did the couple come together to the company, Qin Jiao Jiao also voluntarily paid to treat the whole staff to milk tea, even the other filming locations got it.

Song Huan Yan's company has quite a staff, a mix of all sorts totaling two to three hundred people.

And for the sake of face they couldn't buy cheap milk tea.

Not only did she treat the whole company to milk tea, Qin Jiao Jiao also chatted with everyone about Li Zihang, claiming they are a young couple.

Especially the company's Baoye Ayi, who she pulled into the longest conversation.

Tang Chenge, while strolling around the company, saw this, and when she returned to the CEO's office she laughed uncontrollably.

Before she could gossip, the office door was knocked.

Song Huan Yan raised an eyebrow, Tang Chenge rubbing her laughing stomach, "It can't be that young couple, can it?"

Song Huan Yan and Sang Wan were at a loss as to why.

Song Huan Yan said, "Come in."

Qin Jiao Jiao pushed open the door, taking Li Zihang inside.

The three of them froze for a moment, and Qin Jiao Jiao stepped forward with a coquettish gait.

She held a milk‑tea bag in one hand and still had Li Zihang's arm in the other, looking like a deeply attached couple.

Unfortunately, Li Zihang's face was as if it were a pig's head, impossible to look at.

Song Huan Yan and Sang Wan both wore puzzled expressions, "This… can also be shown?"

Actually, it doesn't seem to hinder anything, just hard to explain in a word.

"President Song." Qin Jiao Jiao placed the milk‑tea bag on the Office Desk, "My husband and I are treating the whole company to milk tea today. Here, this is for you and Assistant Sang, and also Director Tang."

Qin Jiao Jiao said while eagerly opening the bag, thoughtfully handing it to Song Huan Yan, "The milk tea for the three of you, I ordered the most expensive kind. I know you wouldn't drink it if it weren't high‑grade."

Song Huan Yan looked at her and said, "Oh."

Afterwards she didn't know what to say; it didn't matter to her anyway—she and Qin Jiao Jiao were bound to be irreconcilable for life.

Sang Wan asked, "Did you two make up?"

Qin Jiao Jiao, arm‑in‑arm with Li Zihang, replied, "Of course, we're a young couple; we would never separate. We even have a child—what would happen to the child if we split? I'm not the type of woman who divorces after hearing a few words; I'm not that stupid!"

Sang Wan: "...."

"That's fine, congratulations." It was the first time Sang Wan said such a polite remark to Qin Jiao Jiao.

Qin Jiao Jiao also pretended, "Thank you."

Then she looked back at Song Huan Yan, "President Song, the earlier incident was a misunderstanding; don't take it to heart. It was Li Zihang who drank too much and babbled."

Song Huan Yan heard for the first time that someone got drunk early in the morning, but it didn't matter; it was just a cover excuse, say what you will.

Song Huan Yan nodded, "Alright, let's go out."

Qin Jiao Jiao said no more, and left, arm‑in‑arm with Li Zihang.

After a few steps she deliberately said, "Oh dear husband, my foot hurts, carry me."

"....."

Li Zihang remained silent but lifted Qin Jiao Jiao in a princess carry.

Qin Jiao Jiao happened to see the three behind her and waved at them, "President Song, my husband and I are leaving first."

After they left, the expressions on Song Huan Yan and the other two's faces were a mix of speechlessness and shock.

Sang Wan raised his thumb, "Impressive."

Tang Chenge clicked his tongue, "Having a husband is really something."

Song Huan Yan smiled wordlessly, "No need to worry; they're not important anyway. In a few months, they won't be able to jump up again."

Qin Jiao Jiao's move caused the whole company to gossip privately, whispering rumors.

Originally Qin Zi Mo never forgave Li Zihang, but Qin Jiao Jiao knelt at his door all night, pleading on Li Zihang's behalf.

Qin Zi Mo could only give up.

The next day, as soon as Song Huan Yan entered the company, she saw every employee holding a cup of coffee.

Moreover, it was that kind of expensive coffee.

Not only coffee, but also cake.

The small cakes also looked pricey.

Song Huan Yan raised an eyebrow, "Is Qin Jiao Jiao crazy?"

She showed off round after round.

And no one is forcing her to divorce Li Zihang, and it just keeps going on?

But it doesn't concern her either.

The employees, seeing her, greeted, "Hello, President Song."

Song Huan Yan nodded, glancing again at the coffee and cake.

She discovered it was a famous luxury dessert shop in Kyoto.

One cup of freshly ground premium coffee plus a handmade cake cost three thousand yen.

Song Huan Yan slowly raised an eyebrow, "If it's three thousand per person."

The whole company, over three hundred people… ninety… ten thousand?

Can Qin Jiao Jiao afford that?
