When they were younger, Qiu Qin allowed Qi Minlan to keep running to the Zhai family’s house. This had long proven that Qiu Qin wasn’t a man with a backbone.

  Qi Minlan was old but she was still strong. What was the significance of dragging this marriage? If she refused to get a divorce and give up her position, Qiu Qin would chase after her every day and annoy her to death. He could similarly achieve his goal.

  He wanted a divorce? So be it!

  Qi Minlan didn’t like Qiu Qin, and she was still a rational person. When her parents-in-law were alive, she had already known that not only did Qiu Qin have a woman outside, but he was also providing for a son. In order to protect her own interests, Qi Minlan had long used Qiu Qin’s style of work as something against him such that the elders from the Qiu family would hand over everything to her. Even the house was transferred to Qi Minlan’s name.

  Later, when Qiu Chenxi married Zhai Sheng and then divorced him, Qi Minlan had some scheming thoughts. She got Qiu Chenxi to set up a separate account. As such, without Qiu Chenxi’s knowledge, Qiu Chenxi became the owner of the Qiu family.

  Everything in the Qiu family belonged to Qiu Chenxi alone. Since his status was removed, what was the penniless Qiu Qin left with?

  Qi Minlan didn’t have an active sex life with Qiu Qin. Rather than being suppressed by a half-hearted Qiu Qin, she’d rather think of ways to satisfy her not-so-strong desires. He was an old and useless rotten cucumber. Whoever wanted him could have him.

  \r \r \r

  After settling the divorce procedures, Qi Minlan initially wanted to chase Qiu Qin, his true love, and his beloved son out of the Qiu family. In the end, Qiu Chenxi was afraid that it would be more troublesome if she was entangled by Qiu Qin. As such, she thought of selling the Qiu family’s house and changing to another house.

  After discussing this, the mother-daughter pair moved out of the Qiu family’s house without saying anything. They even successfully sold the old villa. Both of them left Ping Cheng with a huge sum of money in their hands and returned to Qi Minlan’s hometown in Mo Du. They bought a house and lived there.

  By the time Qiu Qin, who thought that he had successfully snatched the old villa back from Qi Minlan’s hands, was happily searching for the real estate certificate in his house, the new owner of the house had already produced the new real estate certificate, wanting to collect the house.

  There was no doubt that Qiu Qin and his family weren’t qualified to continue living in this house. The new owner’s procedures for buying a house were completely legal. As the owner of the house, they could give Qiu Qin three days, during which the three generations of the Qiu family had to move out of the house.

  It was only then that Qiu Qin knew he had been tricked by Qi Minlan.

  Before Qiu Chenxi divorced Zhai Sheng, Zhai Sheng didn’t like to bother himself with the Qiu family’s matters. After the two divorced, the Qiu family’s matters had even less to do with Zhai Sheng. As such, after knowing the Qiu family’s situation, Zhai Hua didn’t mention a word to Zhai Sheng, let alone tell Qiao Nan.

  This was Qiao Nan’s first marriage but Zhai Sheng’s second. How would any woman feel comfortable upon hearing the news of her husband’s ex-wife? Qiao Nan helped her manage her daughter. How could she be so heartless to give Qiao Nan more trouble? No way!

  There was another reason why Zhai Hua was particularly unwilling to mention the Qiu family’s matters in front of the Zhai family. What reason was it? Qiu Qin was too shameless.

  People of the same family had similar personalities and temper.

  When Zhai Hua was young, Qi Minlan was the woman she hated the most. Now, Zhai Hua expressed that Qiu Qin was the old man she hated the most.

  Qiu Qin had already divorced Qi Minlan. Qiu Chenxi had also long divorced Zhai Sheng. After the divorce, they were ex-partners. In truth, they no longer had anything to do with one another. Qiu Qin insisted that the son he had with his third party was Qiu Chenxi’s younger brother. Although Qiu Chenxi didn’t want to admit it, they did have a blood relationship. She had to agree reluctantly.

  The problem was that Qiu Qin insisted that the son he had with his third party was Zhai Sheng’s younger brother as he was the younger brother of his wife. That was too overboard, right?

  Qiu Qin insisted on labeling this son of his as Zhai Sheng’s younger brother. Then, he went around pulling strings, trying to push his son up. When Zhai Hua received the news, she was furious. She had seen shameless people before, but not to this extent. Their Zhai family didn’t even know who this son was, let alone met him before. Even if they did, they were like strangers. How was he their younger brother?

  Zhai Hua’s temper was somewhat restrained. If it were more than twenty years ago that Zhai Hua encountered such a matter, she would have long gone to the Qiu family’s house and given Qiu Qin a beating. Even if someone liked to blow up their own trumpet, nobody did it like Qiu Qin. As a government official, he ignored his image and had improper relationships. He even dared to link this matter to the Zhai family. That was too bold of him.

  Wasn’t Qiu Qin worried that he might anger the Zhai family at all? If she made a move, that third-party’s son wouldn’t even be able to enter Ping Cheng, let alone try to work in the government sector.

  They really dared to throw everything under the sky to the Zhai family.

  Although Zhai Hua didn’t go to the Qiu family’s house in the end, she didn’t just leave this matter alone. Their Zhai family had always been in the clear. They didn’t have such improper relatives. Zhai Hua got someone to spread the news that Zhai Sheng was indeed married and had a wife. However, Zhai Sheng’s wife didn’t have a brother.

  If the brother didn’t exist, how would the wife of the brother exist?

  As for Qiu Chenxi’s name, Zhai Hua didn’t even want to mention it at all. Qiu Chenxi brought Qi Minlan to live in Mo Du and no longer disturbed the Zhai family. Of course, Zhai Hua wouldn’t keep clinging on to Qiu Chenxi and embarrass herself either.

  Qiu Qin wanted to borrow the Zhai family’s and Zhai Sheng’s face to help his son find a good job. The problem was that how would the people who wanted to give him face on account of Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family not pay attention to the Zhai family when handling this matter?

  Once they heard the news that Zhai Hua spread, they no longer hesitated. Whenever Qiu Qin brought his son to their houses, they would ask them to return with their cigarettes and alcohol. Nobody could help with this. It was better for Qiu Qin to let his son find a suitable job on his own based on his own capabilities. The Qiu family, who was now in a miserable state, really didn’t need to think about playing tricks.

  After resolving the Qiu family’s troubles, Zhai Hua didn’t even want to let Zhai Sheng know about this at all. She was afraid that if Qiao Nan heard this, she would misunderstand that Zhai Sheng was still in contact with the Qiu family. “Oh, right. You don’t have to worry about the Qiao family’s situation. I’ll help you monitor them. It’s been quite peaceful recently.” Nan Nan shouldn’t have to worry about the Qiao family’s matters.
