Chapter 55: Persuade Xingwan, Drop the Lawsuit

Chu Li went on a business trip and specifically called to urge Qin Xingwan to take her medicine on time.

Qin Xingwan stroked her lower abdomen; she also wanted a child, so naturally, she would take her medicine on time.

She was in a good mood, so she did not feel repulsed by Chu Li's urging.

"Mm, I know."

Chu Li imagined the picture of a family of three, his chest warming slightly, "Xingwan, wait for me to come back."

He could not wait.

He wished he could immediately take her into his arms and cherish her well.

It was just that this project was too important; he could not afford not to go.

Qin Xingwan held her phone, slightly dazed, her feelings for Chu Li becoming a fraction more complicated.

She could feel his changes, that he was trying hard to make up for those hurts.

But once damage is done, it is like spilled water that cannot be gathered back.

She was not sure if she could still trust him.

Moreover, there was still Qin Yun Shu, that childhood sweetheart, in the picture.

Thinking of Qin Yun Shu, Qin Xingwan thought of Ashen.

She had already found a lawyer to formally sue Ashen, and the court hearing would be soon.

This also meant that her relationship with the Qin Family had reached the point of a complete break.

She turned her head to look at her sleeping grandmother...

Although her grandmother had said many times that she should do whatever she had to do, she knew how sad her grandmother was inside.

A night passed.

A servant brought medicine over, and Qin Nainai had some too.

The grandmother and granddaughter looked at each other and smiled, both seeing the peace of the passing years in each other's eyes.

After finishing the medicine, Qin Xingwan washed the cups.

Just as she came out, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.

Qin Jianguo barged in with a few people.

Qin Xingwan's expression changed slightly, "How did you get in?"

Before the words were out, she had already been grabbed by the shoulders by the people Qin Jianguo brought and dragged to the bedside.

Qin Nainai was overcome with anger, patting the quilt and shouting, "Qin Jianguo, what are you doing?"

Qin Jianguo hesitated in his heart, but as soon as he thought of Ashen, he hardened his heart, "Mom, I don't want to be like this either, but I only have one son, Ashen. You persuade Xingwan to drop the lawsuit."

Qin Grandmother scolded, "He doesn't do proper work and goes to frame Wanwan; it's bad enough that you as parents don't discipline him, but you actually grabbed Wanwan. Let Wanwan go."

She had already gotten off the hospital bed, standing shakily, her eyes full of disappointment in her son.

"Ashen is your son, but isn't Wanwan your daughter?"

"Qin Jianguo, don't go too far."

She wanted to go save Wanwan.

Qin Jianguo reached out directly to block her, not letting her get close to Qin Xingwan.

"How can Xingwan compare to Ashen? Besides, she isn't close to us anyway."

"She listens to you; you persuade her to drop the lawsuit, and I will give her a sum of compensation."

He knew Qin Xingwan could not be swayed by soft or hard tactics, so this time when he came, he went straight to Qin Nainai; whatever Qin Nainai said, Qin Xingwan would surely listen to.

Furthermore, Qin Xingwan valued her grandmother's health the most; seeing her grandmother agitated, she would definitely compromise.

He had already calculated everything.

"Qin Jianguo, I will not persuade Wanwan; you can give up that thought." Qin Grandmother's breathing was slightly labored.

"If you have an issue, come at me; don't upset Grandmother." Qin Xingwan struggled hard, but was pressed directly down to the floor by someone.

Half of her face was pressed against the floorboards.

Her tears gushed out instantly, both from pain and anger.

"Wanwan." Qin Grandmother exclaimed, her aged face full of anxiety, tears falling helplessly.

Qin Jianguo blocked her from going over.

Qin Xingwan's face was stinging with pain, her eyes a red of pure hatred, yet she still gritted her teeth to comfort her grandmother.

"Grandmother, I'm fine."

Her hatred for Qin Jianguo had reached its peak.

For the sake of one Ashen, they were going to take her grandmother's life.

How could her grandmother, who was so gentle, have such a cold-blooded and heartless son?

Qin Jianguo hardened his heart, "Mom, if you don't agree, I will have no choice but to take her away."

Qin Nainai's face turned ashen, and she asked tremblingly, "Where are you taking her?"

"As long as Ashen is in prison, she will be locked up for just as long."

"You dare."

"What is there that I wouldn't dare?" Qin Jianguo's anger flared up, "Ashen is my only son, and you want him to go to prison, to prison!"

He had suppressed his anger for a long time.

He did not understand why his mother had to be biased toward Qin Xingwan.

Before, Chu Li was her husband and she still had value, but now Chu Li had divorced her and was going to marry into the Cheng Family, so she was nothing at all.

Qin Jianguo would have to be crazy to sacrifice his son for a daughter who had no value.

"You..." Qin Nainai clutched her chest, her body swaying and on the verge of collapsing.

Qin Xingwan felt as if her heart were being twisted by a knife, and she shrieked, "Nainai!"

"Qin Jianguo," she said through gritted teeth, calling him by his full name, "are you trying to kill Nainai?"

"The one trying to kill Nainai is you, you jinx," Qin Jianguo roared, "I should be the one asking you, are you going to just stand there and watch Nainai be angered to death?"

*Thud. * Qin Nainai collapsed onto the floor.

"Nainai, no!" Qin Xingwan screamed, all her persistence vanishing in that moment.

"I'll drop the lawsuit, just call a doctor to save Nainai."

She cried out, having yielded.

Qin Jianguo let out a long sigh of relief and signaled for the bodyguards to release Qin Xingwan.

Qin Xingwan scrambled over to Nainai's side, her hands trembling as she lifted Nainai's frail body.

"Nainai."

"Don't scare me."

"Call a doctor!"

Fortunately, Qin Jianguo was not so evil as to watch his own mother die, so he pressed the bell to call for a doctor.

Qin Xingwan was shooed out by the doctor.

She stood at the entrance, staring blankly through the half-open door of the Yiyuan room, her face covered in tears.

Nainai, you must get better.

Qin Jianguo said with disgust, "If you had agreed to drop the lawsuit earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

"Nainai really wasted her time raising you all these years."

He cursed angrily, masking his own guilty conscience.

Qin Xingwan remained indifferent; all her thoughts were on Nainai.

She regretted being so stubborn with the Qin Family.

Knowing full well they would use Nainai to manipulate her, why had she refused to bow her head?

Why did she have to drag Nainai into this?

For the sake of a lowlife like Ashen, she had almost killed Nainai.

The doctor came out, removed his mask, and said powerlessly, "If you want the old lady to live a few more years, stop agitating her."

He truly didn't know if they had brought her to the Yiyuan to save her life or to hasten her death.

Qin Xingwan couldn't wait to return to the room and gripped Nainai's hand tightly.

Qin Jianguo followed behind and asked her, "About Ashen's matter..."

"I will drop the lawsuit," Qin Xingwan said without looking back, her tone filled with a sense of resignation.

Qin Jianguo's attitude was not as forceful as before, "Xingwan, Ashen is your brother, you two are even twins, you should have the deepest bond, how could you treat him like this?"

"Besides, you and President Chu have already divorced; in the future, you will have to rely on the family and rely on Ashen."

Qin Xingwan didn't acknowledge a single word.

Her disgust and hatred for Qin Jianguo had reached their peak; she was enduring it now only for Nainai's sake.

She warned herself that she must endure.

Seeing that Qin Xingwan was ignoring him, Qin Jianguo couldn't be bothered to say more.

He was in a hurry to go pick up his son.

The room fell silent.

Qin Xingwan covered her mouth and wept silently.

She didn't know how much time had passed when a *click* sounded from outside again.

Qin Xingwan wiped away her tears, turned around, and saw Old Master Chu.

She stood up in silence.
