Chapter 1061: Knowing the Value of the Sheng Family Only After Being Restored to One's Position

Wang Yingzhi: "You need to have a life to spend money, so stop talking. In any case, I will absolutely not go to L Country."

She was very firm, stood up, and walked away.

Nianyin threatened her: "You have to go whether you want to or not. If you don't go, I'll send people to tie you up and take you there."

Wang Yingzhi had indeed seen the world; facing the fierce and menacing Nianyin, she was not afraid at all.

"Hmph! Even if you tie me up and take me there, it's useless. If I'm unhappy, I won't work. If you push me too far, I might even turn around and deal with you. You all should think clearly about that."

"Only letting the wolf get beaten but not letting the wolf eat meat—this logic works everywhere, and I'm not afraid. Let's see who is afraid when the time comes."

Nianyin:...

Since the hard approach didn't work, she could only try the soft one.

But the soft approach didn't work either; Wang Yingzhi simply didn't respond to soft tactics.

L Country.

Qi Fu.

Vice President Qi asked his wife to prepare some gifts and visit the Sheng Family in Jiangzhou in person.

He was busy with work and it was inconvenient for him to go abroad, so he asked his wife to go on his behalf.

His wife was very angry: "I'm not going. Why should I go to their house? A bunch of snobs, all of them are sycophants. When our family was down on our luck, not a single person from their family came, and they didn't even make a single phone call."

"Now that you've been restored to your position, you still want to associate with their family? Forget it, it's best if we never see each other again!"

The Vice President said to his wife: "You misunderstood the Sheng Family. Actually, Sheng Hanyu has been helping me all along, including his wife. If it weren't for the Sheng Family's all-out support, I would never have had a chance to turn things around in this lifetime."

"How is that possible?" Lady Qi was stunned.

He didn't tell her the deeper details because his wife wouldn't understand; he only picked simple things that she could figure out with a little thought.

This included the Sheng Family and the Chen Family's battle of wits, and Shi Youxuan sending people to cause trouble in A Country.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I'll prepare immediately."

Lady Qi suddenly realized the truth and happily prepared gifts to visit Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou, Sheng Family.

The coffee table was piled high with gifts. Lady Qi held Shi Youxuan's hand and didn't let go; her tears were like beads from a broken string, never stopping.

"Xuanxuan, you don't know how I've been getting by for such a long time. I really blamed you, thinking your family was like those other people, all snobbish sycophants... I shouldn't have done that. It turns out I was the one with the narrow mind..."

Shi Youxuan's expression was indifferent.

But that didn't work; the more magnanimous she was, the more guilty Lady Qi felt, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

A box of tissues was already empty, but Lady Qi's tears still hadn't dried.

Finally, Shi Youxuan's last bit of patience was worn thin.

"Alright, can't you change to some fresh words? How long have you been saying this sentence since you arrived? If you aren't tired of it, I am. My ears are developing calluses."

"You really don't blame me?"

She raised her head, her makeup smeared into a miserable sight.

Her eyeliner was smudged and smeared randomly; her two eyes looked like a panda's, yet the corners of her mouth were turned up, smiling very beautifully.

"If I said I didn't blame you, that would be a lie; I actually did a little bit. But seeing you cry like this, I don't blame you at all anymore."

"Xuanxuan, you are so good."

Lady Qi hugged her tightly, then raised her right hand to swear: "Xuanxuan, I swear here that from now on, I will unconditionally trust you and believe in you. If I break this promise, may I die without a whole corpse."

"Enough, just live well."

This oath was too heavy.

Shi Youxuan was not very accustomed to Lady Qi's personality, which was like a ball of fire when enthusiastic and like an iceberg when cold.

Her husband was also cold, but he was consistently cold.

He was always cold to others and always warm to her; he wouldn't blow hot and cold.

"Xuanxuan, are you still willing to be my best friend?" Lady Qi's gaze was very sincere, carrying a passionate flame in her eyes.

Her mind was very simple; after going through so many things, being able to maintain the innocence of a little girl was very rare.

Simple, with clear likes and dislikes.

If she liked something, she liked it; if she didn't, she didn't.

If she were an ordinary person or the wife of an average wealthy family, this personality would be no problem at all.

But she was the wife of a country's Vice President; it wasn't very good for her to still have this kind of personality.

Shi Youxuan answered firmly: "Of course, we have always been best friends. We were in the past, we are now, and we will be in the future!"

Lady Qi was moved to tears: "Xuanxuan, you are too good. The more you are like this, the more guilty I feel..."

Lady Qi stayed in Jiangzhou for one night, "occupying" Shi Youxuan for the whole night.

The two didn't close their eyes all night; they drank and talked the entire night!

Lady Qi had a high tolerance for alcohol and could drink a lot; Shi Youxuan didn't, so she kept her company with fruit juice.

Dawn broke.

Lady Qi said her goodbyes and took a private jet, not back to her country, but flying directly to A Country to find Chen Ran.

"Hello, Auntie."

"Good child, I have come to apologize to you."

Lady Qi sat down and, without even drinking a sip of water, apologized to Shi Ran. She told Shi Ran everything she had instilled in her son during this period, without hiding a single thing.

After she finished speaking, she asked if Shi Ran minded.

Shi Ran:...

Should she answer that she minded, or that she didn't?

"The past is in the past, please don't take it to heart." The reply was polite and measured.

"No, I must take it to heart. Ranran, you still haven't said whether you mind or not?"

She was really not going to let this go.

"I minded a little, but I don't mind now."

"Good girl, I will have Qi Heng come back immediately and have him apologize to you in person. Can't you two be as close as you were before?"

However, this time she disappointed Lady Qi.

Some things cannot truly be considered as having never happened just by pretending they didn't.

Shi Ran did not agree; no matter what was said, she would not budge, only stating that she was a student and her main task now was to study.

As for the future, that could be discussed later!

Lady Qi was already anxious, and hearing Shi Ran say this made her even more so.

But Shi Ran was a young woman with a very strong sense of her own mind; once she had made up her mind, nothing anyone else said was of any use.

Lady Qi had come to A Country in a flurry, and she returned in a flurry as well.

After returning to the country, she didn't even go home, going straight to the place where her son worked.

"A Heng, you are coming back with me, right now, immediately."

"What's wrong, Mom? Did something happen?" He was startled, thinking something had happened at home.

"Mommy misunderstood your godfather's family. Everything I told you before wasn't true; I was blinded by superficial appearances."

"The truth is that their whole family are good people... This can't be blamed entirely on me, it's all your dad's fault. He and Sheng Hanyu have been in contact in secret, and he didn't tell me..."

She said a great deal, only to discover later that her son was just smiling without saying a word.

"What are you smiling at?"

Qi Heng: "Mom, if you made this trip specifically for this matter, it really wasn't necessary. Actually, I had already guessed it."

Lady Qi:...

A moment later, she felt she had been deceived.

She slapped her son on the head; the hand was raised high, but it didn't hurt at all when it landed.

She chided him: "You child, why didn't you tell me if you knew?"
