Chapter 76: The Qin Family? Who Do You Think You Are?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Qingyue speculated that it might be because of the incident last time that Madam Chen found out and restricted her movements. Shen Qingyue did not say much about it and directly took Chi Ming to choose a gift.
After browsing for a long time without finding anything suitable, she thought about going to the auction house directly. Unexpectedly, just as they left, they ran into Madam Qin and Wei Jiu’er.
They were also here to choose a gift for Shen Jun. Although the two families had divorced, they still had some cooperative ties. Moreover, the Shen family’s current status was crucial, and Madam Qin could not ignore them.
Upon seeing Shen Qingyue, especially with a man beside her, Madam Qin’s expression changed instantly. This man’s figure was unmistakably the same as the one in the recent news. He had found a man just one month after the divorce; what was the difference between this and having an affair? Where would their Qin family’s face be?
“Who is this?” Madam Qin questioned in her usual interrogative tone, showing no regard for Shen Qingyue’s feelings. In her view, Shen Qingyue was the one pursuing her son shamelessly, lowering herself and the Qin family. Regardless of what happened, Shen Qingyue had to bear it. Moreover, wasn’t that how it had been for these years?
Shen Qingyue was initially quite happy, but upon seeing the Qin family, she felt unhappy and ill-fated. Hearing Madam Qin’s question, she casually replied, “A friend.”
She had no intention of saying more. After all, there was no need to elaborate anything to the people from the Qin family.
However, Wei Jiu’er had a strange expression and said, “Really? I remember this is your boyfriend, Qingyue. Didn’t you say that? And you two…”
She intentionally left the sentence unfinished, letting others imagine the rest.
As expected, Madam Qin’s face turned unsightly, and she asked in a stern tone, “Shen Qingyue, did you get together with him before divorcing Shen Zhen?”
Shen Qingyue lazily adjusted her hair. “Madam Qin, let me say this once, I hope you won’t bother me again! I have a clear conscience regarding my marriage with Chi Ming. You can investigate it if you want! After all, I can withstand scrutiny, but the same can’t be said for your son. So, those who have affairs during their marriage shouldn’t come to trouble others, lest they bring trouble upon themselves.”
“You mean nothing happened during your marriage, and now you two are together?’ Madam Qin did not care about the rest; her son might not like Shen Qingyue, but Shen Qingyue could not treat her son this way, and her family’s reputation must not be tarnished.
The news of Shen Qingyue and Qin Zhen’s affair had quickly subsided before, but she still lived in constant fear. When she went out to have tea with other high-society women, she was always cautious, afraid that someone would mention Qin Zhen and Shen Qingyue’s affair, causing her to lose face.
Shen Qingyue sneered, “Why should I care about how people see your Qin family?”
Madam Qin choked with anger. “How can you say that! Our Qin family supported you for a whole year, and this is how you repay us, you ungrateful wretch!”
“The Qin family supported me?” Shen Qingyue burst into laughter. “Madam Qin, have you lost your mind? Who was it that disregarded the consequences and offered five billion to help your Qin family through a difficult time? If you put it that way, let’s calculate the interest on that five billion, shall we?”
“You!” Madam Qin was hit right in the most sensitive spot. She raised her hand, ready to slap Shen Qingyue across the face.
However, her hand was caught by someone.
Chi Ming’s eyes were icy cold. “I don’t hit women, but I hope you won’t make me break that principle.”
Madam Qin’s chest heaved with anger. “You!”
Chi Ming let go of her hand and stood in front of Shen Qingyue, his expression filled with hostility and a murderous aura.
Madam Qin unconsciously took a step back. “Vulgar! You are just as despicable as Shen Qingyue!”
Chi Ming took a step forward. “We might be considered vulgar, but what about the things your Qin family has done? Despicable, filthy, lowly? Not even as good as animals?”
Madam Qin’s lips trembled with anger.
Shen Qingyue pulled Chi Ming’s sleeve. “Let’s go. If a dog bites you, would you bite it back? This person is already going crazy, let’s not get involved with her.”
Chi Ming glanced warningly at Madam Qin and followed Shen Qingyue as they left. If it weren’t for Shen Qingyue’s sake, he would have wanted to level the Qin family’s ancestral tomb. Now, just seeing anyone from the Qin family made him sick to his stomach.
After the two had walked far away, Madam Qin finally regained her senses. “Who did you call a dog?”
However, the two were already too far to hear her shout. Even if they did, they would not bother with her.
Wei Jiu’er hurriedly stepped forward and patted Madam Qin’s back gently, speaking softly, “Auntie, don’t be angry
