Chapter 27: Who’s Spreading
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Qingyue continued, “Aren’t you curious about who is spreading these rumors online?”
Today, Wei Jiu’er helped her become a hot topic, so she should respond appropriately.
Qin Zhen quickly thought, “What? Do you want to accuse Jiu’er of doing this?”
Shen Qingyue smiled, “Am I accusing her? If you have a brain, go investigate it yourself.”
Qin Zhen coldly snorted, “Jiu’er is not like you. She doesn’t stoop to such dirty tactics!”
Shen Qingyue did not waste time arguing with him anymore, “Fine, your little sweetheart is the most gentle and kind-hearted, while everyone else is malicious. So, your little sweetheart should still be lying in the hospital, right? Why don’t you go and check if there are any injuries on her stomach?”
She did not say much more to him and turned to enter the gate.
Qin Zhen’s mind was disturbed by Shen Qingyue’s words. He wanted to ask further questions, but Shen Qingyue had already asked the security guard to see him off. He did not want to suspect Wei Jiu’er, but today’s incident happened at Shen Qingyue’s company. Even if Shen Qingyue lacked intelligence, she would not try to harm others so openly, afraid of going unnoticed. And when he mentioned going through legal procedures, she didn’t show any signs of panic. It was Wei Jiu’er instead…
With these thoughts in mind, he prepared to go to the hospital. However, on the way, he received a call from Madam Qin. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go back home first.
When he entered the house, Madam Qin immediately started questioning, “You got divorced, and you didn’t even tell me? Playing around while being married, you two are really impressive! Do you know how embarrassing it is for me because of your affair with Shen Qingyue?”
The family matters had always been kept tightly under wraps, but the news of Qin Zhen and an unknown woman staying outside had been circulating in the social circles for the past few days. Today, the news of their divorce and Shen Qingyue’s involvement with another man was trending, and there was no longer any way for the Qin family to hide their shame.
Qin Zhen pursed his lips and replied, “I will handle this matter properly.”
“How are you going to handle it? Even though we don’t know who removed the news, it has already spread. Now, everyone in the circle knows about it!” Madam Qin was so angry that she almost couldn’t catch her breath.
Because of Qin Zhen’s father in the past, she had always been mocked, given dirty looks, and pitied… She had had enough of those days. Now that it had come to her son, she had finally managed to establish a reputation of a loving couple for the next generation of the Qin family, and this was the result?
Thinking of this, Madam Qin couldn’t stay seated any longer, “You, right now, immediately bring Shen Qingyue back for me! Tell those people outside that you and she have no issues, and all the rumors are false!”
Qin Zhen, feeling annoyed, adjusted his tie, “Do you think she will agree to come back?”
“Why wouldn’t she? Shen Qingyue still has feelings for you. As long as you cut ties with Wei Jiu’er, she will definitely remarry you!” Mentioning Wei Jiu’er, Madam Qin suddenly found the scapegoat, “Yes, it’s because of Wei Jiu’er! From now on, you are not allowed to see Wei Jiu’er again!”
Today, when Shen Qingyue mocked Wei Jiu’er, Qin Zhen felt uncomfortable. His tone became heavier, “What’s wrong with Jiu’er? What about all the things you did to Shen Qingyue in the past? Constantly making things difficult for her, finding faults, setting rules at every turn. Who would be willing to be your daughter-in-law?”
Whatever a mother did to her daughter-in-law happened within the same household. Who could be blind to that? It was just that Qin Zhen could not be bothered to intervene!
“You dare to blame me?” Madam Qin struggled to keep her anger under control, “What I taught her was the responsibility she should fulfill as a daughter-in-law of the Qin family! Tomorrow, you will go with me to the Shen family again, and this time, you must bring Shen Qingyue back.”
“Mom!” Qin Zhen raised his voice, his face still calm, “Shen Qingyue and I are divorced, and we won’t remarry. Don’t mention her again in the future. As for those news, they were fake to begin with, so there’s no need to worry about them. I’m tired, and you should rest early.”
Madam Qin had nowhere to vent her anger, so she smashed the living room into a mess!
…
After finishing the morning meeting, Shen Qingyue returned to her office and saw Shen Yiyan searching for something inside. Her desk was in disarray.
“Yiyan, what are you doing?” she suddenly spoke up.
Shen Yiyan was startled and hastily tidied up the documents he had been flipping through, turned around, and pretended to be calm, “Did the meeting end so soon?”
“Yeah.” Shen Qingyue walked over and sat on the swivel chair behind the desk, “What were you looking for?”
“Nothing, I saw your things were a bit messy, so I wanted to help you organize them.” Shen Yiyan had originally wanted to see what projects Shen Qingyue was recently responsible for, thinking about whether he could create some obstacles for her. He did not expect Shen Qingyue to return so quickly.
“Thanks, but next time, please don’t enter or touch others’ things without permission when I’m not here. It’s uncivilized and lacking manners,” Shen Qingyue casually said.
“You!” Shen Yiyan gritted his teeth.
