Chapter 89: Who hasn't encountered a few ungrateful, heartless men when they were young?

Madam Chu could not catch her breath, her expression so ferocious she looked as if she wanted to devour Qin Xingwan and Qin Nainai alive.

"A pair of vixens, may you meet a wretched end."

She cursed, all elegance gone.

Old Master Chu had a stubborn temper and did not give an inch: "You can't even manage your own husband, yet you dare to manage my affairs? You've overstepped your bounds; if you don't agree, then get out."

Madam Chu trembled with rage; marrying such an unbearable husband was the most distressing thing in her life.

She had struggled to hold things together in this family, only to be met with disdain in return.

Qin Nainai sighed; she was someone who had been through it all, and she understood.

She said slowly: "Since everyone is here, I will make things clear today."

She first said to Madam Chu: "You can rest assured, I have no designs on your Chu Family."

She then looked at Old Master Chu: "As for you, I did have feelings for you when we were young, but that was decades ago; who even remembers that now?"

"I didn't even think about marrying you back then, let alone now."

She had the final word, and Old Master Chu was struck by it.

"I have always remembered you..." he explained eagerly.

For the first time, Qin Nainai could not restrain her emotions, giving Old Master Chu a mocking, contemptuous smile: "When you were young, in order to return to the Chu Family, you said to my face that you wanted to cut ties with me. You haven't looked for me in over forty years; you call this remembering?"

Back then, when she was suddenly abandoned, she had felt despair and hopelessness; she had even felt inferior when people pointed at her spine and mocked her, wondering if she just wasn't good enough, which was why he had chosen his future over her.

But she was lucky, and later she met a man who truly loved her.

Even though his family circumstances were average, he gave her the best affection of her life.

She would remember it for a lifetime.

Old Master Chu felt ashamed, and his whole person seemed to have aged significantly.

He apologized tremblingly: "I am the one who failed you."

Qin Nainai was indifferent: "There's nothing to apologize for; who hasn't encountered a few ungrateful, heartless men when they were young?"

Old Master Chu felt overwhelmed with shame.

"Now that both children are divorced, it is better for our two families to have less contact," Qin Nainai said decisively. "I, an old woman, will be discharged from the hospital immediately; I won't take advantage of your family."

Old Master Chu hurriedly tried to persuade her: "No need, just stay here; at worst, I will come less often."

He could still see her often here; if she really left, it would be hard to meet again.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been her in-law for three years without even knowing she was right here.

Qin Nainai was determined to be discharged, and she instructed Qin Xingwan: "Pack the things, we are leaving immediately."

Qin Xingwan agreed.

Chu Li said: "I live with Xingwan at Beicheng Villa, Grandmother should move there too."

"I am returning to the Qin Family," Qin Nainai said, shaking her head.

Her granddaughter was already divorced, so no matter what, she could not live over there.

Qin Xingwan wanted her to return to that small house from before, but Qin Nainai did not agree.

She gripped her granddaughter's hand tightly: "I want to go back to the Qin Family and wait for Ping'an."

Qin Xingwan knew then that her grandmother's mind was made up, so she packed the things with the caregiver.

Madam Chu had already left.

She was very angry.

After going out, she called Cheng Mingzhu and asked her to come to the coffee shop; she felt stifled and needed to vent.

Cheng Mingzhu arrived quickly, bringing Qin Yun Shu with her.

Madam Chu did not like Qin Yun Shu, but she endured it for Cheng Mingzhu's sake.

She spoke about Old Master Chu's feelings for Qin Nainai, and after cursing Qin Nainai, she cursed Qin Xingwan, her anger still not subsided.

Cheng Mingzhu looked at Qin Yun Shu.

Qin Yun Shu said leisurely: "If I were you, Madam, I would agree, and even host a grand celebration."

Madam Chu was furious: "Qin Yun Shu, your surname is Qin, you are her granddaughter, naturally you want her to marry the Old Master."

Who wouldn't want such immense wealth.

Qin Yun Shu was scolded, and though she felt resentful inside, her expression remained entirely compliant: "Madam Chu, listen to me. Grandmother is old, and she had a relationship with Old Master Chu when they were young; now that they have reunited in their old age, them being together would be a beautiful story."

"Besides..." she said slowly, "if Qin Xingwan wants to remarry my brother, it would be impossible."

Madam Chu was stunned.

In fact, this was the same logic as when Old Master Chu had originally wanted to recognize Qin Xingwan as his god-granddaughter.

She suddenly saw the light, and the way she looked at Qin Yun Shu changed, even revealing a hint of affection.

"If this matter succeeds, I will definitely treat you like my own daughter in the future."

Qin Yun Shu suppressed her inner excitement and acted extremely obedient: "I will also go back and persuade Grandmother."

……

Qin Xingwan sent her grandmother back to the Qin Family.

She had notified Qin Jianguo in advance, so Qin Jianguo was waiting at the door early, personally helping Qin Nainai out of the car.

Lady Qin also appeared respectful.

Qin Nainai's bedroom had been moved from the previous small bedroom to the large room next door, which had excellent lighting and ventilation.

As for the help, Qin Xingwan had the caregiver who looked after Qin Nainai stay behind, so that if there was anything unsatisfactory at the Qin Family, she would know in time.

Qin Jianguo asked Qin Xingwan to stay for lunch.

Qin Xingwan wanted to spend more time with her grandmother, so she agreed.

During lunch, Qin Jianguo brought up the matter of Qin Nainai and Old Master Chu at the dining table.

He was in favor of it with both hands raised.

One had to know that if this matter succeeded, he would count as half a son to Old Master Chu, which was a massive fortune.

He deeply regretted that if he had known about such a good thing earlier, he should have brought his old mother over from Bali Town sooner.

Qin Xingwan put down her chopsticks and said coldly, "I do not agree."

She knew what kind of scheme Qin Jianguo was plotting.

To sum it up in three words: shameless.

Qin Jianguo's expression darkened, "Xingwan, you cannot block Grandma's happiness just because of your relationship with Chu Li."

"Grandma raised you all by herself for so many years, which was not easy; now that you have grown up, she should pursue her own happiness."

He spoke these high-sounding reasons with righteous indignation.

Qin Xingwan sneered, "Now you know it wasn't easy for Grandma to raise me, but didn't you always clamor about having paid money before?"

They said the words "paid money" with a clear conscience.

Lady Qin was annoyed, "Why are you so petty?"

She just kept holding a grudge against the family, wishing for the family to do poorly.

Qin Xingwan tapped her fingers on the table, "Shouldn't you ask for Grandma's opinion?"

Qin Jianguo frowned, "With a wealthy family like the Chu family, and Old Master Chu constantly thinking of her, how could she be unwilling?"

Then Lady Qin chimed in, "Exactly, and she could help Jianguo; how wonderful."

Qin Xingwan sneered; this couple was driven solely by profit, and for the sake of benefits, they would even exploit their own mother.

Qin Jianguo looked at Qin Nainai, who had not spoken the whole time, "Mom, say something."

Qin Nainai's cloudy eyes swept over her son, "I am not willing."

She was very calm.

After all, she had long known what kind of character her son had.

Qin Jianguo stood up anxiously; with the wealth and glory within his grasp about to fly away, he could not sit still.
