Chapter 56: Qin Xingwan, Kneel Down and Apologize

Old Master Chu had no expression, "You've made quite a scene."

Qin Xingwan thought she had disturbed him and apologized immediately.

She still remembered Old Master Chu's words about making her leave Yuncheng for three years, and added: "I will leave once I get the divorce certificate."

Old Master Chu shook his head instead, his tone cold and sharp, "Qin Xingwan, you haven't done well enough."

Qin Xingwan was silent; she knew what the old man meant.

"This is your punishment."

Old Master Chu glanced at the person on the hospital bed; their face was unclear, but it was evident they were dying.

Qin Xingwan's chaotic mind cleared instantly; she opened her eyes wide in disbelief, having already understood.

"Was it you?"

No wonder Qin Jianguo was able to bring people in despite the visiting restrictions.

"Why?" She took a step back and leaned against the hospital bed, subconsciously protecting her grandmother.

On Old Master Chu's aged face was majesty and contempt, "This is the price for not being obedient."

He had already said it: he wanted her to leave Yuncheng and not return for three years.

Yet not only did she not leave, she even associated with Chu Li more and more frequently.

Chu Li had even rejected the Cheng Family's Mingzhu for her sake.

Qin Xingwan explained: "I will leave once I get the divorce certificate."

Her tone was full of anger: "If you think I am disobedient, you can target me; how could you do something like that?"

Even for someone of his advanced age, Old Master Chu was terrifyingly cold-blooded.

Old Master Chu's expression turned cold: "Do you think A Li will go get the divorce certificate once the cooling-off period is over?"

Qin Xingwan was speechless.

Everything Chu Li was doing now indicated that he wanted to save this marriage.

He would not go get the divorce certificate.

Old Master Chu dropped the threat and prepared to leave.

"Wanwan," the old woman on the hospital bed let out a weak call.

Qin Xingwan, face full of tears, turned around in surprise, "You're awake."

Old Master Chu looked over with no expression, but his demeanor suddenly froze, and then wild joy appeared on his face.

"Su..."

"Grandmother, please don't scare me, I'll go find a doctor right away." Qin Xingwan held her grandmother, who had fallen back into a coma, her face pale.

"Doctor, doctor."

Old Master Chu threw away his cane and ran out, regardless of his image, to call for a doctor.

Fortunately, Qin Nainai had only fallen back into a coma due to mental exhaustion.

Qin Xingwan held her grandmother's hand, her tears nearly run dry.

She could only pray to the heavens over and over in her heart; she was willing to endure any punishment in exchange for her grandmother's health and longevity.

Old Master Chu had not left yet; he stood by the bedside, his gaze fixed on the hospital bed.

Countless complex emotions flashed through those sharp eyes from time to time.

He had found her.

And had almost scared her to death.

Old Master Chu could not bring himself to speak, and his back looked somewhat flustered as he leaned on his cane and left.

Qin Xingwan was carefully tending to her grandmother after she finished her medicine when Qin Jianguo arrived with Qin Shen.

Qin Shen was in high spirits, and his gaze toward Qin Xingwan was full of contempt and hatred.

Qin Jianguo's purpose for coming was very simple; he was here to take Qin Nainai out of the Yiyuan.

Qin Shen said: "I owe it to Grandmother that I got out this time; I will be sure to be filial to Grandmother."

Qin Xingwan heard the malice behind his words.

She spread her arms to block the front of the hospital bed, "Grandmother is not fit to be moved right now; I am already contacting another Yiyuan, and we can transfer her tomorrow."

It was only to stay here for one more night.

Qin Jianguo was indifferent, "She can just recover slowly at home."

He didn't even intend to send his old mother to another Yiyuan.

Qin Xingwan knew what they wanted, and she felt desperate.

But she could not leave her grandmother to fend for herself.

"I will be obedient from now on, as long as you let Grandmother stay here for one night, and we will transfer her for treatment tomorrow."

The Qin Family wanted an obedient daughter.

She compromised.

Qin Shen looked at this twin sister who looked somewhat like him, a hint of malice appearing in his expression.

"Qin Xingwan, that's not enough."

"Because of you, I was locked up by the police for so many days; how are you going to pay for that?"

His heart was filled with anger and resentment, and since Qin Xingwan was right there, how could he let her go?

Qin Nainai had already gotten out of bed; her legs were already weak, and after being subjected to one shock after another these past few days, standing was exceptionally difficult for her at this moment.

Yet she still stood steady, shielding her granddaughter behind her.

"Ashen, it was you who bullied Wanwan first."

Qin Shen did not feel it was his own fault.

"Qin Xingwan, kneel down and apologize to me; once you apologize, I will let you and Grandma go home together."

Every day he stayed at the Police Station, he was thinking about how to make Qin Xingwan apologize after he got out.

Just kneeling was already letting her off too easily.

Qin Jianguo frowned, but he did not say anything.

Qin Nainai was disappointed in her son, and even more disappointed in her grandson.

She gripped Qin Xingwan's hand tightly to support her, "Wanwan and I will go back to Bali Town."

Qin Jianguo said coldly, "Don't think about going back to the old home; I am definitely going to sell the house in the old home."

Only if the house was sold would his old mother not think about going back.

Qin Nainai was furious; Qin Jianguo was always thinking about selling the house, but that house was the root of the old Qin Family.

Many memories were kept there.

"I have already said, the house is not allowed to be sold; that is my property, you have no right to make the decision." Qin Nainai gasped for air, and her chest began to feel stifled again.

"Then kneel down and apologize." Qin Shen clamored, his originally somewhat delicate face becoming incomparably ferocious.

He stared at Qin Xingwan like a vicious beast.

"Qin Xingwan, you kneel down and apologize, and I can help you persuade Dad to keep the house."

Qin Xingwan gritted her teeth; she could tell that even if she knelt, Qin Shen would not really persuade Qin Jianguo to keep the house.

He was only doing it to humiliate her.

"No." Qin Nainai's tears streamed down, looking aged and haggard.

She made up her mind and said tremblingly, "If you want to sell the house, then sell it, but you are absolutely not allowed to bully my Wanwan."

Losing the house pained her heart, but she had to protect Wanwan.

How could her Wanwan suffer such humiliation?

Qin Xingwan closed her eyes, biting her lip until she tasted the metallic tang of blood.

If the house were really sold, Grandma would have no thoughts left to hold onto.

Grandma could no longer withstand any more blows.

"Fine." She slowly agreed, her whole body tense, "As long as you promise not to sell the house, I can kneel and apologize to you."

"Wanwan." Grandma Qin cried out in pain, gripping her hand tightly, "Grandma doesn't want the house anymore."

Qin Xingwan's eyes were filled with moisture.

She was doing this for the person who loved her most in this world.

There was nothing she couldn't do.

She let go of Grandma's hand and walked in front of Qin Shen, "Qin Shen, I hope you can handle this kneel of mine."

Qin Shen laughed loudly, "Qin Xingwan, do you think you are still Mrs. Chu? I tell you, A Li doesn't want you anymore, and the Chu Family won't want you either."

"Otherwise, why else would they have notified us to come and pick Grandma up from the hospital?"

"They find it disgusting that you live there, dirtying their place."

Qin Xingwan's face turned pale, her fingernails digging deeply into her palms.

Her knees bent slightly, and she slowly, humiliatingly knelt down.

"Wanwan."

Qin Nainai wanted to come over to stop her, but her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.

She could only curse Qin Jianguo and Qin Shen.

"Qin Jianguo, you blind and heartless piece of trash."

"Qin Shen, you will have retribution."

Qin Shen did not care at all; his eyes flashed with an excited light, anticipating the scene of Qin Xingwan kneeling completely before him.
