Chapter 90: Do You Want to Remarry?

~8 min read 1,567 words

"What are you doing? This is such a good opportunity, why won't you agree?"

Qin Jianguo was desperate to have this marriage set in stone immediately.

Qin Nainai slammed her chopsticks down, her tone resolute: "I don't agree, no matter what. You all can give up on this idea."

She stood up slowly, and Qin Xingwan hurriedly and carefully supported her back to her room.

Once the door was closed, Qin Nainai sighed heavily, "That couple, they've been blinded by the power of the Chu Family."

"They don't even stop to think about how many illegitimate children that old man has, or what kind of person he is. If I agreed, they would never be able to hold their heads up in public again."

Qin Nainai did not want to be a laughingstock for the Qin Family in her old age.

Qin Xingwan gently stroked her grandmother's back to help her calm down, "If you stay here, they will harass you about this every day. You should just come with me."

Qin Nainai glared at her, "No matter what, he is still my son. It is only right and proper for him to provide for my old age. Surely he wouldn't throw me out at the doorstep of the Chu Family, would he?"

She did not want to trouble her granddaughter.

Besides, for the sake of Ping'an, she would also have to be strong.

Qin Xingwan could not persuade her, so she could only urge her to call if anything happened.

Two days later, Qin Nainai called to say that Qin Jianguo had booked a place to eat outside and wanted her to go along.

Qin Xingwan agreed.

At the best hotel in Yuncheng, the table was filled with a sumptuous meal.

Qin Xingwan helped her grandmother inside and saw Madam Chu and Old Master Chu.

Qin Jianguo and his family of three were also there.

Her heart sank; she had a bad premonition.

Qin Jianguo and Lady Qin pushed Qin Xingwan aside, one on each side, to help Qin Nainai sit next to Old Master Chu.

Qin Xingwan's eyelids twitched, and she walked over to an empty seat and sat down.

Madam Chu, a complete reversal of her angry demeanor in the hospital room, smiled and spoke about agreeing to the two elders being together.

"I was the one who thought about it the wrong way before, always considering the family. Now that I think about it, the old man's happiness is what's important."

"After all, this is a major event for the old man. Our family is willing to offer a dowry of one hundred million to welcome the old lady into our home."

"If you have any other conditions, you can bring them up, as long as you don't stand in the way of the two elders' happiness."

Qin Jianguo and Lady Qin had no objections; the immediate benefit was one hundred million, and the subsequent benefits were beyond what money could measure.

Qin Yun Shu congratulated Qin Nainai in a soft voice, "Grandma, congratulations. You must grow old together with Grandpa."

Qin Xingwan threw her wine glass onto the table with a clatter, a crisp sound ringing out, "Qin Yun Shu, aren't you disgusted?"

Qin Yun Shu felt extremely wronged, "I was just wishing Grandma well, how is that disgusting?"

"Did Grandma agree? Does she need your blessings?" Qin Xingwan retorted.

She was afraid of upsetting her grandmother.

But Qin Nainai's expression at this moment was calmer than she had imagined.

"Indeed, I do not agree." Qin Nainai's gaze swept over everyone.

Especially when she looked at Qin Jianguo, she was exceptionally disappointed.

"Without my consent, you arranged this privately. Qin Jianguo, are you planning to stop acknowledging me as your mother?"

Qin Jianguo panicked, "Mom, I didn't mean that. I just saw that you've lived alone for so many years and thought how nice it would be if someone were by your side to keep you company."

Madam Chu frowned, "Old Lady Qin, our old man is sincere."

"Whether he is sincere or not, I don't know, but you—you are full of malice." Qin Nainai didn't hold back and scolded her, "If I become family with someone like you, I'm afraid I won't live to see the next day."

She stood up, "Xingwan, let's go."

Madam Chu's face turned ugly instantly; Qin Nainai's words were practically calling her vicious in front of everyone.

And she had even gone to the trouble of arranging this meal.

She really thought she was something special just because she relied on the old man.

Qin Jianguo and his wife tried to stop them.

Old Master Chu threw his bowl, "Who dares to touch her?"

Qin Nainai looked back at the old man: "If you were behaving yourself, we could still be friends. If you insist on forcing this, we need not have any contact in the future."

Qin Xingwan helped her grandmother leave.

Old Master Chu left as well.

Madam Chu stood up, gave a contemptuous laugh, and said sarcastically, "It seems that Qin Xingwan is the one who calls the shots in your Qin Family. What a pity, there was a chance to become one family."

After she finished speaking, she left gracefully.

Qin Jianguo's expression was grim.

Qin Xingwan!

She was simply a stumbling block to the Qin Family's upward development.

On the way back, Qin Xingwan still tried to persuade her grandmother to come with her.

Qin Nainai shook her head stubbornly, "I have to wait for Ping'an. The Wen Family doesn't want him, but our Qin Family does."

She patted her granddaughter's hand, "Don't worry, for the sake of Ping'an, I have to live a few more years no matter what."

Qin Xingwan thought of Wen Ping'an's illness, and her heart ached.

Fortunately, he would be able to have surgery soon.

In the future, he would grow up healthy and strong.

Qin Xingwan sent her grandmother back to the Qin Family, and when she left, she noticed Chu Li's car in the Qin Family courtyard.

She walked over with light, slow steps, "A Li."

Her soft voice made Chu Li shed all his exhaustion, and he called for her to get in the car.

As soon as Qin Xingwan got into the car, Chu Li pulled her over and kissed her.

At the same time, the partition rose.

Qin Xingwan was forced to straddle his lap, an ambiguous atmosphere arising.

She hunched her shoulders and begged him in a low voice, "Don't."

The position was truly unbearable.

Chu Li buried his head deep into the side of her neck, inhaling deeply, restraining the restlessness of his body.

In front of her, he had no self-control at all.

Qin Xingwan pushed at his head, provoking him to turn his head and bite her on the neck.

She let out a small "Ah."

Both shy and angry.

"Chu Li."

Chu Li raised his head slightly, but his hands did not let go, holding her intimately just like that.

"I heard my mother arranged things for Grandma and Grandpa today?"

At that time he was in a meeting, and by the time he received the news, Qin Xingwan had already left with Grandma.

Qin Xingwan pursed her lips and stopped moving around, "She probably wants to come over; if my grandma and your grandpa get together, then we won't be able to remarry."

Chu Li pressed his forehead against hers and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to remarry?"

Qin Xingwan turned her head, leaning on his shoulder, her voice very soft: "Your mother won't agree."

She has been hoping for them to divorce all along.

Chu Li only asked: "What about you?"

He wanted her answer.

He used Wen Ping'an to threaten her and tie her to his side, but in his heart of hearts, he wanted her wholehearted devotion.

He even wanted to give her a grand wedding.

Qin Xingwan didn't speak; she closed her eyes and muttered, "Let's talk about it later."

Chu Li was a little disappointed, but he also knew he couldn't be too hasty.

After all, he actually knew how excessive the things he had done were.

Now that she was tied to his side, he would take it slow.

He simply kept kissing her like that, the heart-palpitating intensity constantly deepening.

The affectionate kiss hid tenderness.

"Go to the office and wait for me to get off work?" he asked gently.

It seemed he was becoming increasingly reluctant to let her leave his side.

Qin Xingwan's bright eyes held some anticipation: "Shall we go see Ping'an?"

He was Ping'an's savior, so Ping'an should properly meet him.

Chu Li was in a good mood, so he went along with her and agreed.

Yiyuan.

Wen Ping'an had returned to his lively self.

He threw himself into Qin Xingwan's arms, his eyes sparkling, "Mommy, Daddy said there is an uncle willing to save me, and I will get better very soon."

Qin Xingwan kissed his forehead, her eyes full of tenderness: "Yes, the uncle is here; will Ping'an thank the uncle?"

Wen Ping'an immediately climbed off the bed, his little face set in a serious expression.

"Uncle, my name is Wen Ping'an, thank you for being willing to save me."

Qin Xingwan stroked his hair, her eyes filled with a watery sheen.

At this moment, everything was worth it.
