Wang Qin had always been a strong woman,
She started getting involved in her family business since she was 20 years old, and she valued family bonds even more so than her romantic relationship. That was the reason why she decisively gave up on the man she loved and married Qi Qiming as per her family’s arrangement.
She never loved Qi Qiming all these years, and he never loved her either.
Both of them knew they loved other people. Wang Qin gave up on finding love ever again. On the other hand, Qi Qiming’s mistresses never stopped appearing, with Lu Xinlan being just one of the many.
Lu Xinlan mentioned that Mu Zi was Qi Qiming’s true love, but Wang Qin was quite doubtful about this. Although Qi Qiming did show Mu Zi quite a bit of attention and was particularly nice to Mu Lingtian as well, Mu Yuchen had already told her that Mu Lingtian and Mu Lingshi were not related to Qi Qiming at all.
That meant that Mu Zi’s lover was not Qi Qiming. He was not an idiot, but why would he be so nice to Mu Lingtian if he was not his child?
Wang Qin could not figure it out, and this question had been bugging her ever since.
Was it just because Mu Lingtian was Qi Feng’s good friend?
“There’s no point wasting your time if you know he’ll never change. Stop using me as an excuse after so many years. Divorce is the best option you can choose right now,” Qi Lei finally spoke up. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and continued, “Any stepfather you find for me is probably better than him. I’m not staying with you two anyway. I don’t care what the two of you are doing. You’re giving yourself a tough time, and I’m suffering the consequences.”
Qi Lei put on a wicked smile as sarcasm filled his tone. “If I were you, I’d collect evidence of him cheating. He also uses violence on you, doesn’t he? If you’re lucky, you might be able to get half of his assets if you present these pieces of evidence to the court.” His tone was casual and easy as if he did not care.
“No, Xiao Lei, you’d lose everything if I do that. Your grandfather has already proclaimed you as the successor of the Qi family. We’re not here to steal from others, but we should take what we deserve. I’ve endured this the whole time. I can’t involve my son as well!”
Wang Qin looked at Qi Lei with sorrow in her eyes. “Qi Qiming shifted his hatred towards me onto you. You’re innocent, Xiao Lei. It’s all my fault.”
Qi Lei turned away, his smile becoming cold, and eventually, his expression faded. He just looked outside the car window without saying anything.
“Xiao Lei, I just hope that you can be well. I hope you don’t have to become like me. I want you to lead a happy life, but you’re such a proud person. How could you...? I know you don’t like to listen to this since I’m sure you already know, but I suppose he never thought of you as his son, seeing how he treated you in Gu Lingsha’s office.”
“He has no right to be my father,” Qi Lei gave a brief reply. Wang Qin was heartbroken to hear that, so she assured him, “You still have me! I’ll protect you forever!”
“It’s fine. It really doesn’t matter to me. Just take care of yourself. Because of just one mistake, you’re suffering the consequences for the rest of your life. I’m really impressed by your courage and tenacity. If it were me, I’d have left a long time ago.”
Qi Lei took a deep breath and continued, “You don’t have to bother with Shasha as well. If not, that old man might mess with you. Shasha... She’s changed. If you mess with her, she might do something to you. I know her way too well.”
“Gu Lingsha! I told you she’s a scheming woman, Xiao Lei. Luckily, you didn’t go over that time, or else you might’ve been the one in the accident instead of Mu Lingtian! Mu Lingtian is really stupid, being fooled by Gu Lingsha. She was eloping together with Qi Feng and not him. I’m not sure if I should laugh or applaud his effort,” Wang Qin said.
“Mind your words. Lingtian is my good friend.” Qi Lei’s eyes darkened when he heard Wang Qin’s remark, and he shot Wang Qin an unhappy glance. “I’m sure he has his reasons. Maybe he doesn’t deserve the criticism.”
“I know you, Qi Feng, and Mu Lingtian were all under Gu Lingsha’s spell. Speaking of Mu Lingtian, he probably loved Gu Lingsha as much as you both. The way he looks at her can’t be faked. However, I never expected him to just hand her over to Qi Feng.” Wang Qin was reminded of some scenes from the past.
However, Qi Lei frowned. “Lingtian? What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know?” Wang Qin was confused. She took a pause before explaining, “On the day before Gu Lingsha and Mu Yuchen’s marriage, Mu Lingtian and Qi Feng had a fight. It was really intense. Qi Feng even punched Mu Lingtian. I was worried that you might be involved. That was why I made you go away.”
Wang Qin thought about what might have happened if she did not make Qi Lei go away. He might have been in the car, and it would have been disastrous!
“Did you say Qi Feng punched Lingtian?” Qi Lei squinted his eyes as he looked at Wang Qin. “Do you remember why they fought?”
Wang Qin gave it some thought before shaking her head. “Qi Feng was already hitting him when I noticed them. Lingtian even puked some blood. Qi Qiming found out and pulled them apart. When Qi Feng said Mu Lingtian was unforgivable, he was probably blaming Mu Lingtian for not being able to stop the marriage between Gu Lingsha and Mu Yuchen, or else they wouldn’t have run away. Gu Lingsha is really scary. She had so many men dancing around on her fingertips, yet she didn’t appreciate Mu Yuchen at all. Instead, she got together with Qi Feng, involving both you and Lingtian!”
