Chapter 52: Cheng Mingzhu

Old Master Chu was satisfied, "You know that person, she is Cheng Han's younger sister, Cheng Mingzhu."

Cheng Han was the man Qin Yunshu had once loved, and he had also once been a good friend of Chu Li.

Later, Qin Yunshu ran away from her marriage for Cheng Han's sake, and the two went abroad together.

And the relationship between Chu Li and Cheng Han plummeted to freezing point.

Now, Cheng Han is returning to Yuncheng.

"You grew up with Cheng Han, and you have met his sister; she is beautiful and capable, and the key is that she has always liked you."

Old Master Chu is very satisfied with Cheng Mingzhu.

She has a family background, she has ability, and she is the most perfect candidate for a granddaughter-in-law.

Qin Yunshu and Cheng Han once had a relationship; although it ended in a breakup, she and Cheng Mingzhu had a good relationship.

After returning to the country, the two also kept in touch often.

After leaving the Yiyuan, she received a call from Cheng Mingzhu and learned that she had returned to Yuncheng.

The two met once.

"You are going on a blind date with A Li?" Qin Yunshu gripped her wine glass, surprised by this news.

Cheng Mingzhu was beautiful and glamorous, with a pair of eyes that were exceptionally charming and affectionate; she had liked Chu Li for many years, but because she had been abroad for several years, she was somewhat apprehensive about tomorrow's meeting.

Moreover, she knew that the person Chu Li liked was Qin Yunshu.

"Yun Shu, will you be angry?" she asked.

Qin Yunshu thought, so Cheng Mingzhu returned to the country to go on a blind date with Chu Li.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face, "Of course not. A Li having a good destination has always been my expectation. You two are a very good match, it's just..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

Cheng Mingzhu hurriedly asked: "Just what?"

Qin Yunshu sighed faintly: "It is a mistake I made back then."

She recounted the engagement between Chu Li and Qin Xingwan.

"My sister grew up in the countryside, has shallow knowledge and a strong sense of jealousy. Just because of those old matters between A Li and me, she has always been dissatisfied with me, and as for A Li, there is even less talk of respect."

"They are currently in the divorce cooling-off period, and I am very worried that she will refuse to go get the certificate when the time comes."

"Thinking about it, it is all my fault."

Cheng Mingzhu had heard of Qin Xingwan; she heard that she was a very capable Perfumer.

She knew they were going through the divorce process, so she hadn't taken it to heart originally.

At this moment, because of Qin Yunshu's words, she began to pay attention to Qin Xingwan.

Qin Xingwan got up early to go home, made breakfast for Qin Nainai, and brought it over.

She saw that the ward opposite was occupied and guessed that Old Master Chu had moved in.

However, she did not go to greet him.

She and the Chu Family were already even, and from now on, they would have to pretend not to know each other when they met.

Qin Nainai's spirits were much better than yesterday.

She had been a widow for twenty years and had long since seen through everything.

After eating breakfast, Qin Xingwan helped her walk around the ward twice, and Qin Nainai's phone rang.

After Qin Nainai answered, she gave the phone to Qin Xingwan, "Yun Shu is looking for you."

Qin Xingwan took it, her tone cold: "What is it?"

Qin Yunshu hoped to meet with her to talk about Qin Shen's matter.

Qin Xingwan did not want to agree, but thinking of Qin Yunshu's personality, if she refused, Qin Yunshu would have to call her grandmother every day.

Thus, she chose to agree.

When she arrived at the reserved restaurant, Qin Yunshu had already arrived.

She apologized cautiously, hoping that Qin Xingwan could forgive Qin Shen.

Before Qin Xingwan could speak, her gaze suddenly fixed on a pair of man and woman who had just entered.

The man was Chu Li.

She did not recognize the woman, but she was extremely beautiful and elegant.

The two were talking, and they looked like they had a good relationship.

Qin Yunshu naturally saw it too; hiding the little thoughts in her eyes, she said deliberately: "That is Cheng Mingzhu, Cheng Han's sister, the young lady of the Cheng Family."

"She has always liked A Li. This time she came back to go on a blind date with A Li. They are well-matched in social status, and both families are very satisfied."

She couldn't wait to see Qin Xingwan's sad expression.

But there was no expression on Qin Xingwan's face; she was very calm.

Qin Yunshu was disappointed and continued: "They are well-matched in social status and are a very good match."

Qin Xingwan was clear about Qin Yunshu's little schemes.

She found it ridiculous; Qin Yunshu only cared about Qin Shen to that extent.

Using the name of Qin Shen as a pretext, her heart was still filled with those romantic affairs.

"What does that have to do with me?" Qin Xingwan sneered.

She got up and left.

Both Chu Li and Cheng Mingzhu, who had just sat down, saw Qin Xingwan.

Chu Li's expression changed slightly, and he stood up almost immediately, "Xingwan."

Qin Xingwan's attitude was distant; she tilted her head slightly and said coldly, "Something the matter?"

Chu Li grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side.

Cheng Mingzhu kept a smile on her lips, maintaining her composure, "A Li, who is this?"

Chu Li tightened his grip, "My wife."

These four words represented his stance.

The smile on Cheng Mingzhu's face faded; she knew that Chu Li and his wife had a discordant relationship, but she did not know that Chu Li had already realized his own feelings.

"Miss Qin," she greeted.

Qin Xingwan had no intention of getting involved; she pulled her hand away with force and smiled politely, "We are already in the divorce cooling-off period, Miss Cheng, please don't mind."

"You two continue."

She walked away quickly.

Chu Li chased after her, "Xingwan, listen to my explanation."

He caught up to Qin Xingwan at the entrance and grabbed her wrist, refusing to let go again.

"It was arranged by Grandfather; I only came to meet her once. I have no thoughts toward her."

Qin Xingwan remained unmoved by such an explanation; after all, they would soon go to collect their divorce certificate.

She and he no longer had any relationship.

She did not care who he went on blind dates with.

"Let go," she said coldly.

"Xingwan."

"Chu Li, I no longer have any relationship with you; stop pestering me."

Qin Xingwan's heart was dead to him.

Chu Li's eyes darkened; he knew his wife was angry.

But he did not know the reason.

He did not understand why, when their relationship had clearly eased yesterday, she had become cold again today.

However, he refused to let go.

He dragged her into the car.

Inside the restaurant.

Qin Yunshu walked to her side and asked tentatively, "Mingzhu, are you going to give up?"

Cheng Mingzhu curled the corners of her lips, "Give up?"

She had flown back from thousands of miles away, not to give up.

A mere Qin Xingwan was not someone she took seriously.

She just hadn't expected that Chu Li had feelings for Qin Xingwan.

"Yun Shu, this sister of yours doesn't seem as simple as you described; no wonder you couldn't rescue Qin Shen."

Qin Yunshu sighed softly, her eyes moist, "That's right, she is truly formidable."

"In our family, no one dares to offend her."

Cheng Mingzhu patted her friend's shoulder, full of confidence, "No matter, once my affairs with Chu Li are settled, I will help you rescue Qin Shen."

After all, marriage alliances are about being well-matched in status, and Qin Xingwan, who has nothing, is destined to be eliminated.

Qin Yunshu was grateful for her friend's help.

"Also, my brother is coming back soon," Cheng Mingzhu reminded Qin Yunshu.

She liked Qin Yunshu and hoped that Qin Yunshu could become her sister-in-law.

Qin Yunshu was pleasantly surprised, her heart thumping.

"He... is he really coming back?"

Cheng Han was returning to the country.
