Chapter 58: Is This How You Trample on My Sincerity?

"You say I'm base?"

Chu Li's distinct-knuckled hand gripped her chin, and he let out a cold laugh.

Her contemptuous insults were like sharp knives, scraping at the deepest part of Chu Li's heart.

Qin Xingwan smiled faintly, her voice exceptionally light: "Whether you are base or not, you know best yourself."

Chu Li was angry to the extreme, his baleful energy erupting.

Qin Xingwan even had the illusion that he would raise his hand to slap her the next second.

"So this is how you trample on my sincerity... Fine, I am the base one."

He flung his hand away and strode off.

Qin Xingwan watched that angry back, tears falling in large drops; she pressed her forehead firmly against the wall, suppressing her sobs.

Chu Li had returned to resolve the situation for her and had not favored Qin Shen; she had felt his feelings.

She had been shaken.

But once she thought of Old Master Chu directing Qin Jianguo to come and harass them one after another, nearly scaring Qin Nainai to death.

She found it very difficult to remain calm.

There would be a second time for Old Master Chu's warnings, and she could not bear the consequences of a second time.

Between Chu Li and Qin Nainai, she could only choose Qin Nainai.

Let it be this way.

Let it end this way.

End this marriage that was unequal from the very beginning.

Chu Li walked to the elevator door with an ugly expression; the elevator door opened, and Assistant Wu walked out.

He was carrying the medicine the servant had just delivered: "President Chu."

Chu Li's gaze stared heavily at the medicine, his mind filled with the image of Qin Xingwan's arrogant, mocking smile as she called him base.

He gave a self-deprecating sneer; in her eyes, his attempts to make amends and his devotion were only worth the word "base."

"Send all the medicine over, and let her decoct it herself," he ordered coldly.

Assistant Wu quickly realized that President Chu must have quarreled with his wife again.

"Yes, President Chu."

He sent the medicine into the hospital room and saw his wife sitting blankly on a chair, her eyes red and swollen.

He spoke in a low voice about decocting the medicine.

Qin Xingwan nodded blankly, her voice extremely hoarse, "I understand."

Assistant Wu left quietly.

Qin Nainai woke up in a daze several times; after Qin Xingwan fed her the medicine, her spirits improved a little.

Qin Xingwan breathed a sigh of relief and went out to arrange the transfer.

The doctor said in surprise: "Old Master gave orders that since the old lady is in poor health, she should stay here for more treatment."

Qin Xingwan pursed her lips; what was Old Master Chu plotting again?

She insisted on the transfer.

The doctor looked behind her and called out, "Old Master."

Qin Xingwan turned her head, showing no expression.

Old Master Chu said indifferently: "Your grandmother is in poor health and should not be tossed about."

Qin Xingwan's eye sockets turned red; her grandmother's poor health was clearly all thanks to him, yet here he was, hypocritically trying to make them stay—how ridiculous.

But she had learned to be obedient now; knowing she had no ability, she simply hid those thoughts in her heart.

She did not speak.

Old Master Chu was also regretful, yet he refused to admit his own mistakes and even now dared not face that person.

He promised: "Such a thing will not happen again."

"You stay and take good care of Grandmother."

Since Old Master Chu would not let them transfer, Qin Xingwan could only stay.

During this time, she received a call from Lady Qin, but upon hearing the voice, she hung up directly.

Lady Qin was pleading for Qin Shen.

But she would not forgive.

Moreover, going abroad was already the lightest punishment for Qin Shen.

Qin Family.

Qin Yun Shu was teary-eyed, her fair face full of regret, "It's all my fault; I shouldn't have offended Sister, yet I let Brother suffer for me."

Qin Shen was also very irritable, but seeing his younger sister, whom he had raised with love, apologizing with red eyes, his heart softened again.

"Brother, don't worry. I will go find Sister tomorrow and tell her the truth. Whether she wants me to go to jail or wants to punish me however she likes, this is what I should endure."

"At the press conference, I will also clarify everything and restore Brother's innocence. Brother did nothing wrong; Brother just loved me too much."

"I have already implicated Brother; I cannot let Brother suffer for me anymore."

Qin Shen's belly full of anger was washed away by her tear-streaked face.

He reached out and ruffled his sister's hair, his tone softening, "Don't cry. It's just going abroad for a few years; just treat it as gaining experience."

As the older brother, he naturally had to shoulder a bit more.

Qin Yun Shu's sobbing grew weaker, and she raised her misty, tearful eyes, "No, Brother, I don't want you to go; I am the one who should go."

Qin Shen's heart was soaked soft by the tears.

His eyes also reddened, "It is all because your brother is useless, unable to protect you, letting her bully you time and time again."

"Rest assured, when brother returns, brother will definitely drive her out."

Qin Yun Shu was extremely moved and threw herself into Qin Shen's arms, "Brother..."

A week passed.

Qin Nainai was often in a deep sleep.

The traditional Chinese medicine had also run out.

The doctor tactfully reminded them that the old lady was of advanced age and had suffered one shock after another, so it was best to slowly recuperate with traditional Chinese medicine.

Qin Xingwan then asked Assistant Wu for the address of Old Master Yu, deciding to go and find Old Master Yu.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

She arrived at Old Master Yu's house.

Old Master Yu was a famous master healer, and those seeking medical treatment came in an endless stream, but the old master had limited energy and only went to the Yiyuan to see patients for half a day each day; at other times, he did not see anyone.

Qin Xingwan was stopped outside by the housekeeper.

Without an appointment, she could not enter.

Qin Xingwan had no choice but to plan to try her luck at the Yiyuan tomorrow.

"Qin Xingwan." A voice filled with slight surprise rang out.

Qin Xingwan turned her head and saw Chu Li, as well as Cheng Mingzhu, who was holding Chu Li's arm.

Chu Li was expressionless, his gaze sliding over Qin Xingwan without any pause.

The housekeeper opened the door, "President Chu, please come in."

Qin Xingwan gritted her teeth, "Chu Li."

She wanted to beg him to take her to see Old Master Yu.

Chu Li turned his head, his brows and eyes cold to an extreme degree.

"Chu Li, can you take me inside?" Qin Xingwan pleaded in a low voice.

Chu Li sneered, "What relationship do you and I have that I should take you inside?"

He strode away with his long legs.

"Mrs. Chu... no, Miss Qin." Cheng Mingzhu stood at the doorway, her bright and elegant face filled with arrogance.

She would always remember the time Chu Li said she lacked upbringing for the sake of Qin Xingwan.

Now, she was finally vindicated.

She smiled contemptuously, "Miss Qin should know that A Li and I are currently dating; once you get your divorce certificate, I will be the legitimate Mrs. Chu."

Qin Xingwan dug her nails into her palms.

Had he already agreed to the arranged marriage?

It made sense; his wife should be someone of equal social standing.

That was good.

It was just that a wave of bitterness still surged in her chest, making her emotions unstable.

"Congratulations," she said in a hoarse voice.

Cheng Mingzhu was very satisfied; she warned Qin Xingwan not to approach Chu Li, then chased after Chu Li.

Chu Li was somewhat impatient and asked her what she had said to Qin Xingwan.

Cheng Mingzhu naturally would not say that she had threatened Qin Xingwan; she was currently trying to restore her image in Chu Li's heart.

"It's nothing, I just saw that Miss Qin was pitiful and wanted to help her, but I was afraid you would be unhappy, so I thought better of it."

Chu Li's eyes were dark; he naturally knew why she had come here.

The medicine had run out.

But Old Master Yu did not see people easily.

She could not get in without an appointment.
