Chapter 76: You Had Better Pray That There Is No Time When You Need to Beg Me
Whether Wen Lvzhong knows or not is unimportant.
But there is no need for Qin Xingwan to tell Chu Li these things.
"I only seek peace of mind."
"Peace of mind?" Chu Li repeated these two words in his heart, saying coldly, "Are you doing this for the child, or for Wen Lvzhong?"
"You married me back then because you were broken up with by Wen Lvzhong, right?"
He ultimately could not help but ask this question.
The jealousy hidden in the deepest part of his heart was finally revealed.
He was her second-best choice.
"Chu Li, we have already reached the point of divorce; what is the use of saying these things?"
Qin Xingwan did not want to be entangled in this relationship anymore.
She only wanted to treat Ping'an's illness.
Yet Chu Li insisted on an answer, "You only need to answer me, do you still like Wen Lvzhong?"
Qin Xingwan was silent.
"I heard that the probability of a successful match between siblings is higher; are you planning to have another child?"
Chu Li's voice was a bit trembling, a bit hoarse.
In front of Qin Xingwan, he could never control his emotions well.
Qin Xingwan pinched her palm, moisture welled up in her eyes, and her crimson lips trembled, but in the end, she said nothing.
Some things can only rot in one's heart forever.
Chu Li suddenly felt it was utterly meaningless.
What he had bitterly persisted in and pursued was a joke from beginning to end.
"Let's go get the divorce certificate," he said suddenly.
His expression was exceptionally cold.
Qin Xingwan was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight; she found it hard to believe.
"Are you really willing?"
That shock, in Chu Li's view, was pleasant surprise.
She had finally gotten the divorce certificate she had been longing for.
A cold glint hung in the corners of Chu Li's eyes, his indifferent gaze tempered with ice, "You had better pray that there is no time when you need to beg me."
"Otherwise, you will pay a price that will shatter your body and bones."
Qin Xingwan felt a chill in her heart, always feeling that there was more to his words.
She looked at Chu Li, only seeing his grim profile.
Thinking it over, she currently had no leverage in his hands.
As for Grandma, because of her relationship with Old Master Chu, Chu Li could no longer threaten her.
She was very certain that once she got the divorce certificate, she and Chu Li would be completely unrelated.
"I will remember that."
Inside the Minzhengju, the two of them each took out their identification cards.
Very quickly, they obtained the divorce certificate.
Qin Xingwan let out a complete sigh of relief; she had wanted to part on good terms and wanted to say goodbye to Chu Li.
But Chu Li had already strode away, seemingly not wanting to stay there for even one more second.
Qin Xingwan put away the divorce certificate, did not think much of it, and took a taxi to the Yiyuan.
Wen Ping'an was already asleep, tears still hanging on his pale little face, his small mouth pouting, looking very aggrieved.
Seeing her hurried and covered in sweat, Wen Lvzhong said, "If you have things to do, you don't need to rush over; the child is just throwing a tantrum, he'll be fine in a while."
Qin Xingwan said in a low voice, "I just went to get the divorce certificate."
Wen Lvzhong was surprised, "He agreed?"
Qin Xingwan nodded.
"Were there any conditions?" Wen Lvzhong asked again.
Qin Xingwan shook her head, "None."
When she said this, she suddenly thought of what Chu Li said about begging him, and she felt inexplicably uneasy, but soon, she cast those thoughts out of her mind.
She had nothing to beg him for.
Wen Lvzhong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
After all, fighting a divorce lawsuit against Chu Li would require a massive amount of energy, and with Wen Ping'an's condition worsening recently, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to spare himself.
"I'll watch over him," Qin Xingwan held Wen Ping'an's little hand, "You go get busy if you have things to do."
Wen Lvzhong nodded, "I'll go find the doctor."
The hospital room became quiet, with only the beeping of the instruments.
Chu Li did not hide the matter of getting the divorce certificate, and Madam Chu soon found out.
A few minutes later, Cheng Mingzhu also found out.
She had finally come to the end of her hardships and was very happy, making a phone call to Qin Yun Shu.
At the same time, she asked Qin Yun Shu to persuade Qin Jianguo and his wife to arrange a blind date for Qin Xingwan as soon as possible.
She wanted to completely cut off the possibility of Qin Xingwan and Chu Li being together again.
Qin Xingwan stayed at the Yiyuan to accompany Wen Ping'an for the night, and early the next morning, she received a call from Qin Jianguo.
"You are surnamed Qin after all; having done such a scandalous thing, I don't want to argue about it anymore."
"I have found a marriage candidate for you; go on a blind date. Whenever you get married, that is when we will go for the matching test."
"Marriage?" Qin Xingwan gripped her phone tightly, unable to believe what she was hearing.
She had only just divorced, and yet Qin Jianguo was already impatient to marry her off.
"What else? Do you still want to stay at home and drag us down for the rest of your life?" Qin Jianguo said angrily, "Or do you think you can marry Wen Lvzhong? I am telling you, stop dreaming; the Wen Family will not accept you."
Qin Xingwan had never even considered marrying Wen Lvzhong.
She did not know where those thoughts of Qin Jianguo's came from.
"I am only asking you to come for a matching test; Ping'an is... also your own kin." Qin Xingwan was very angry, and also very powerless.
The Qin Family was too cold-blooded.
Even if they did not know when the child was born, they were still connected by blood.
She did not expect them to dote on this grandson.
But this was about saving a life.
And they still had to set conditions.
"Once you are married, we will acknowledge him as our grandson, and we will naturally be willing to undergo the matching test for our grandson."
Qin Jianguo made the conditions clear.
Qin Xingwan looked at the child on the hospital bed, her heart twisting like a knife.
"You do the matching test first; if the match is successful and you agree to save the child, only then will I agree to go on a blind date and get married."
Qin Xingwan understood Qin Jianguo's character too well.
He was a businessman through and through, driven solely by profit.
If she agreed to him now, and the matching test was successful and he really had to donate his bone marrow, he would definitely propose even more excessive conditions.
Qin Jianguo had his own calculations, "No."
"Then forget it." Qin Xingwan refused without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Jianguo raised his voice, "Don't you think about the child? What if the matching test is successful..."
"It might not be successful." Qin Xingwan interrupted him.
Qin Jianguo was left speechless.
Qin Xingwan was too sharp-tongued.
He hung up the phone in a rage.
There were tears in Qin Xingwan's eyes; having such a family made her feel very sad.
"Mommy."
Wen Ping'an woke up, and seeing Qin Xingwan, he immediately burrowed into her arms.
"Mommy, I want to go out and play."
He was only three years old, but he was already very sensible.
But no matter how sensible a child was, they were still a child; having stayed in the Yiyuan for so long, he also longed for the sunlight and companions outside.
Qin Xingwan held him tight and softly comforted him, "When Ping'an is better, Mommy will take you wherever you want to go."
Wen Ping'an tugged tightly at Qin Xingwan's clothes with his small hand, feeling dejected, "Will Ping'an never get better?"
He felt like crying, "Will Ping'an be like Tongtong, and never see Mommy and Daddy again?"
"Tongtong?"
"Oh, Tongtong is my good friend; he is just like me, he is also sick."
Qin Xingwan guessed a little of what happened; she hugged the child tightly, trembling, and stroked his soft, tender face.
"Ping'an will always be with Mommy."
"Then why didn't Mommy come to see Ping'an for so long? Does Mommy not like Ping'an?"
"That's not it, Ping'an, Mommy loves you the most."
Qin Xingwan choked back sobs, letting the sorrow consume her.
