“Get lost, don’t touch me!” Madam Qin shook off her hand. “What are you, a good-for-nothing? If it weren’t for you, Qin Zhen wouldn’t have divorced Shen Qingyue! And now all these troubles are happening!”

Wei Jiu’er’s family background, not to mention the Shen family, could not even compare to her maternal family, the Ling family. She was just a third-party trying to climb the social ladder, relying on her stepfather’s money. But her stepfather’s family was nothing more than a small and humble household. Marrying into the Qin family? What a joke!

Before, she did not know Wei Jiu’er’s intentions, and coupled with the fact that Wei Jiu’er had grown up with her mother, seen all sorts of people, and was very good at coaxing others, she treated her like a pet. As long as she could make her happy, it was fine. However, when she learned that Wei Jiu’er wanted to enter the Qin family, she felt nothing but disgust when she saw her.

The reason Wei Jiu’er had come together with her today was that they happened to meet halfway, and shamelessly followed her. Truly behaving like a third-party, not worthy of respect.

After being pushed away by Madam Qin, a trace of resentment flashed in Wei Jiu’er’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it. This old hag will pay sooner or later! “Auntie, I know there is a gap between me and the Qin family, but Zhen and I truly love each other…”

Madam Qin sneered, “If it weren’t for the current status of the Qin family, would you still love him so genuinely? Wei Jiu’er, your tricks are nothing in my eyes! Playing mind games with me, you’re still too inexperienced… Besides, it seems that Qin Zhen’s heart is not just for you alone.”

She was Qin Zhen’s mother, and she understood her son best. Although Qin Zhen seemed indifferent to Shen Qingyue on the surface, deep down he still had feelings for her, he just did not admit it. Even if Wei Jiu’er wanted to enter the family, it would not be that easy even if she agreed. Besides, she would not agree!

She was dissatisfied with both of these daughters-in-law, but if she were to compare them, in terms of looks and family background, Shen Qingyue surpassed Wei Jiu’er by far. Even if she wanted to change her daughter-in-law, she would not choose someone even worse, would she?

Wei Jiu’er had been trying to win Qin Zhen’s heart all along, how could she not sense his feelings? But on the surface, she still acted softly and weakly, saying, “Ah Zhen said that he only loves me…”

Madam Qin coldly snorted, “I don’t know what methods you’ve used to make Qin Zhen so obsessed with you, and I don’t want to know. But as long as I’m here, the doors of the Qin family will be closed to you! You won’t get in.”

Now she had no mood to pick gifts anymore. She turned and walked away, leaving Wei Jiu’er clenching her fists. That damned old hag, once she enters the Qin family, she’ll definitely torment her before sending her to the afterlife!

In the evening, Qin Zhen returned home and saw his mother sitting in the living room with a displeased expression, seemingly waiting for him. He unbuttoned his suit and sat down next to Madam Qin. “What’s wrong? You seem unhappy.”

Madam Qin was annoyed as she said, “Today, I ran into Shen Qingyue at the antique shop entrance, and she was accompanied by a strange man. They were chatting and laughing together! I criticized her, but she became even more spirited. It hasn’t been long since we divorced, and she’s openly going out with someone. She’s truly not maintaining her proper role as a woman! How can people look at our Qin family like this?”

Qin Zhen’s expression sank, and he stood up, saying, “Don’t mention anything about Shen Qingyue to me from now on. I don’t want to hear it.”

Madam Qin wanted to say more, but Qin Zhen had already walked out the door.

He called Zhou Sui and Han Xu, asking them to join him for a drink.

When the call connected, he learned that the two of them were already at their usual bar. A friend of theirs was having a small gathering, introducing his girlfriend to their circle of friends. Because Qin Zhen had been busy, they had not notified him.

When Qin Zhen arrived, the people in the private room were having a good time. They greeted him when he came in, and then continued their fun.

Zhou Sui laughed, “It’s rare for you to take the initiative to invite us for a drink. Is something wrong?”

“I just felt like drinking, that’s all,” Qin Zhen said as he poured himself a glass of wine and downed it in one go! It did not look like he was drinking; it seemed more like he was pouring out his frustrations.

Zhou Sui could sense something, “Is it related to Qingyue?”

Qin Zhen did not say anything, which was considered an acknowledgment.

Zhou Sui sighed, “I really don’t know what you’re making a fuss about! If you like Qingyue, then go after her. Qingyue sincerely loves you; after so many years of being together, how could those feelings just disappear? Don’t wait until you have no chance left and regret it.”

Qin Zhen poured another glass of wine and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly like her? I love Wei Jiu’er.”

Zhou Sui looked at him. “Do you think you’re in a state where you can distinguish between love and responsibility? I think you treat Wei Jiu’er more like a sense of duty, everything leans towards her, as if fulfilling an obligation! Such a sense of duty will only sacrifice your own feelings. When you regret it later, no one will wait for you forever.”

However, Qin Zhen coldly sneered, “Having a sense of responsibility only shows that I love her!”
