Chapter 19: She is unwilling to go against her grandmother's wishes

Qin Nainai insisted on seeing it, so Qin Xingwan had no choice but to roll up her pant leg.

Qin Nainai touched it lightly, feeling a deep ache in her heart, "How did it get like this?"

Qin Xingwan gently held her grandmother's hand, "The doctor used medicine, it's already much better."

Qin Jianguo glanced at Chu Li, "A Li, let's go outside and talk."

Chu Li nodded and went out.

Only after they had all left did Qin Nainai say that Qin Shen had thrown a huge tantrum at home, and eventually, Qin Jianguo and his wife came to find her, told her what happened, and hoped she would persuade Qin Xingwan.

Qin Nainai was very angry, scolding the couple for being biased, and also scolding Qin Shen for not acting like a brother, and finally blaming Qin Yunshu for not keeping her distance from Chu Li, causing such a scandal.

But scolding was just scolding; they were family after all.

She had no choice but to wrong her most beloved granddaughter.

"Wanwan, Grandma knows you've been wronged." Grandma Qin was extremely sad, "But they value Qin Shen; if Qin Shen's matter isn't resolved, they won't let it go."

Qin Xingwan was angry and helpless; they were certain that she would not be willing to go against her grandmother's wishes.

After all, her grandmother was old and should not be worried or anxious.

"Grandma, I know." Qin Xingwan leaned gently into her grandmother's arms, her eyes moist.

Qin Nainai stroked her black hair and smiled with relief: "I was worried about you and A Li before, but now that I see you two are getting along well, Grandma is happy."

Qin Xingwan's eyes felt sore; they hadn't reconciled, it was just that Chu Li was keen on playing the part of a devoted husband.

Her grandmother had misunderstood.

But she didn't want her grandmother to worry, so she tacitly accepted it.

Outside the hospital room.

Qin Jianguo spoke first: "You need to persuade Xingwan not to go too far."

This time, Qin Xingwan had dragged both of his children into the mess, implicating the Qin Family and making them a laughingstock.

Even the marriage prospect originally set for Qin Shen had backed out.

Qin Jianguo was angry, but thinking that the person who tied the knot must be the one to untie it, he had brought his old mother along.

There was a faint darkness in the depths of Chu Li's eyes, "This time, Qin Shen is in the wrong."

He stood on his wife's side.

Qin Jianguo was somewhat surprised by Chu Li's defense of Qin Xingwan.

"The video is a lesson for Qin Shen." Chu Li stood straight, his voice very calm, yet exceptionally oppressive.

He knew about the video, and he knew that Qin Xingwan had found someone to post it.

But this time, he chose to stand by and watch.

Qin Jianguo was speechless for a moment, "A Li..."

"Qin Shen needs to shoulder the responsibilities of the head of the family in the future; if he continues to be so willful, he won't be up to the task." Chu Li spoke directly, showing no face to Qin Jianguo.

Qin Jianguo was somewhat dismissive; Qin Shen was wrong, but there was no need to escalate conflicts between siblings to the internet.

But knowing that Chu Li said this for Qin Shen's own good, he did not refute him.

He said: "Yun Shu keeps saying that she implicated Ashen, and she is very sad."

Mentioning Qin Yunshu, Chu Li's expression softened slightly, and he said: "I will resolve this matter."

Qin Jianguo was very satisfied with Chu Li's promise.

He turned and entered the hospital room, putting on the airs of a father to lecture her: "What is it that you can't sit down as a family and discuss properly? You had to be so impulsive, making the whole family lose face along with you."

"Do you think you've won by doing this?"

"You also carry the Qin surname, and you will also be pointed at and mocked behind your back."

Everything he said implied that Qin Xingwan was being unreasonable.

After finishing his lecture, Qin Jianguo changed his tone and added: "In the future, if you have any issues, come directly to Dad, and Dad will make the decisions for you."

Qin Nainai frowned, her cane thumping heavily on the floor, "You, as a father, came in without asking a single word about how she is injured or if she is in pain, and the first thing out of your mouth is to lecture her. How could she dare to come to you?"

"Mom, I'm doing this for the good of the whole family. If everyone were as vindictive as her, the family would be in chaos."

Qin Nainai was upset, and her breathing became ragged.

"Grandma." Qin Xingwan gripped Qin Nainai's hand tightly and said quickly, "A Li is here, I'm fine."

Qin Nainai looked at her granddaughter's husband standing straight to the side, and thinking of their affection, she slowly calmed down.

Anyway, Wanwan and her husband had their own little home, so they could just visit the Qin Family less.

Thinking this, she found Chu Li a bit more pleasing to the eye.

"Stop disturbing Wanwan's rest here, take me home." Grandma Qin ordered Qin Jianguo crossly.

Qin Jianguo felt humiliated, but he had no choice but to obey, helping his mother up.

Qin Nainai looked at Qin Xingwan, her expression softening again, "Rest well, Grandma promises that no one will come to disturb you again."

Qin Xingwan felt a sting in her nose, "Thank you, Grandma."

Qin Jianguo helped Qin Nainai leave.

Chu Li lowered his head to pull out the pillow and lay it flat, kissing her soft lips, "Sleep."

He left on tiptoe.

Qin Xingwan tucked half her face into the quilt, turning slightly, tears spreading in her eyes.

That was all her grievance, her weakness.

In the car back to the Qin Family, Qin Nainai didn't give her son a good look: "Go back and tell Yun Shu, don't be oblivious to propriety, and stop going to find A Li for every little thing."

Wanwan and her husband were affectionate, and as an elder, she wanted to help them out.

Qin Jianguo's first reaction was that Qin Xingwan had said something to his mother.

"What nonsense has she been spouting to you again?"

Qin Nainai struck Qin Jianguo's leg with her cane, her tone icy: "Qin Jianguo, back then when Yun Shu fled the marriage, you made Xingwan take her place, and Xingwan agreed for the sake of the Qin Family."

"Now that the two of them are happily married, you are letting Yun Shu interfere; what kind of intentions do you have?"

Qin Jianguo rubbed the spot where he had been struck in pain, "Yun Shu and A Li grew up together, there is quite a bit of affection between them."

Qin Nainai understood her son and warned him: "Put away those filthy thoughts of yours; if you dare to bully Xingwan, I, this old woman, will be the first to object."

Qin Jianguo was dismissive; he had his own plans, but since his mother was biased toward Qin Xingwan, he did not want to say more.

Chu Li did not return to the Yiyuan until the second half of the night, and Qin Xingwan was already asleep.

He leaned over, wanting to kiss his wife, but saw her eyelashes dampened by tears and the tear tracks on her face.

She had cried.

Chu Li gazed at his wife's face, a touch of softness rising in the depths of his heart, his fingers resting lightly on the tear tracks beneath her eyes.

In these three years of marriage, they had supported each other.

She was his wife.

His feelings for her were more like those for a family member, rather than the kind of affection between a man and a woman.

He guaranteed that she would be a distinguished Mrs. Chu.

Yet she had trapped herself in the romantic feelings between a man and a woman.

Chu Li washed up with light steps and got into bed, gently pulling Qin Xingwan into his arms.

Qin Xingwan stayed in the Yiyuan for over half a month, and only after it was confirmed that there were no problems with her walking was she permitted to be discharged.

As for the matter of Qin Shen and Qin Yunshu, in the end, it was Chu Li who spent a large sum of money to suppress it.

Qin Xingwan knew this would be the result, so after that day, she did not pay attention to this matter again.

For her discharge, Chu Li arranged it very grandly, sending her favorite red roses and having a candlelight dinner prepared at the best hotel in Yuncheng.

Tipsy from red wine, Chu Li embraced her from behind and kissed her: "Xingwan, let's make up."

Qin Xingwan smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery: "If we make up, what will become of your Yun Shu?"

Chu Li's arms tightened, his thin lips landing on the side of her neck, "She has already stabilized and no longer needs me."

Qin Xingwan lowered her eyes, looking at the brilliant night view of the city outside the window.

So, it was Qin Yunshu who didn't want him, and only then did he return to her side.

How cheap.
