After Xu Sijin left, the woman finally revealed a smug expression.
Watching the small medicine packet in her hand, her lips curved into a triumphant smile.
These educated cultural people, has their reading made them foolish?
But this suits her just fine.
With this foolish woman’s help, it’s much more convenient than acting on her own.
In the end, she can push all the blame onto this woman.
She’s just a poor helpless mother, solely surviving for her son.
“What are you so pleased about?”
A man’s deep voice sounded from behind.
The woman’s face changed drastically, she turned her head abruptly, only to see Qin Yang not far away; her hand trembled, and the medicine packet fell to the ground.
Qin Yang glanced at the medicine packet on the ground, a hint of mockery flashed through his eyes.
“So, were all those words you said at our workplace entrance fake?”
What about being driven out by the in-laws and having nowhere to go, saying it would have been better not to have saved them and let their whole family die together.
Now it seems it might have been better to let them die together.
Even resorting to such despicable tactics, thinking of his wife made Qin Yang’s eyes grow even colder.
“No… it’s not like that, benefactor, it’s all… it’s that woman…”
The woman subconsciously tried to argue.
Meeting the man’s cold eyes, she shivered again.
Only now did she realize that this man was not as easy to manipulate as she had imagined; he even had a murderous and cold-blooded air, as if he could crush her throat the next second.
Qin Yang sneered, “I think you needn’t worry about your son’s whereabouts anymore, come with me to the police station. Just on the charges of plotting against a major national project designer, you could be facing several years in prison. Perhaps by the time you get out, your son will be grown up.”
The woman retreated two steps and repeatedly shook her head, finally collapsing to her knees before Qin Yang.
“Benefactor, I really didn’t mean to harm you, I was forced, I did it all for my child, please spare me for my child’s sake.”
“I really had no other way, benefactor, even if that woman gave me this thing, I never thought of harming you, I just wanted to secure a way out for my child, he’s still so young, his father is dead, and his grandmother has disowned him, I as a mother do not have the ability to support him…, benefactor, he’s really too pitiable…”
The woman cried bitterly, at this moment, she was just a fragile helpless mother.
Qin Yang sneered again, “Pitiable? To speak of being pitiable, having you as a mother is what’s truly pitiable. Your husband was still bedridden, and yet you mixed with the bachelors in the village, your husband found out and died from anger, even before that, your unclear relationships with other men were discovered, which is why his family doubted your son’s bloodline and disowned him, am I wrong?”
The woman collapsed to the ground with a thud, her face full of disbelief.
How could he know?
Qin Yang said no more, “Never appear in front of me again, or the consequences might be beyond your imagination.”
It was only after Qin Yang left that the woman collapsed on the ground, her body drenched in sweat.
The only thought in her mind was that this man was not to be trifled with.
In such a short time, he had learned all her secrets, how could she possibly contend with such a man?
And Xu Sijin, that woman, knowing full well this man was not someone to provoke, still gave her such advice…
The woman looked at the medicine packet on the ground, slowly reaching out to pick it up.
……
Rapid footsteps came from outside the office, Zhang Dawei pushed the door and entered.
“Something’s happened, a big issue has arisen…”
Several people in the office simultaneously looked at Qin Yang.
Qin Yang slightly frowned and spoke displeased, “All this fuss, about this year’s work appraisal…”
Zhang Dawei immediately stood up straight and continued, “It’s not a big deal. It’s just that I heard something happened at the union.”
Li Wei and the others sighed in relief.
“I say, Da Wei, can you stop gasping so much when you speak?”
He thought that woman had come to trouble them again.
But ever since that woman showed up that day, Mr. Qin slammed her arguments so hard that even the union vice chairman was left speechless, and the matter was dropped.
They thought there would be a continuation, seeing that the woman was not someone to be trifled with.
Wu Zhenfa asked curiously, “What happened at the union?”
Zhang Dawei glanced outside the door and whispered mysteriously, “I’m not sure about the details, but as I was coming in, everyone outside was talking about it. Vice Chairman Sha Jianqi was caught in bed with another woman by his wife Xu Sijin. Initially, neither of them wanted to make it public, as family scandals are not to be aired, but that woman turned out to be tough; she made the whole thing public, even claiming that Vice Chairman Sha used force, and now she demands an explanation from the unit.”
He then glanced at Qin Yang, “You all won’t guess who that woman is?”
“Who is it?”
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued.
These days, ethical issues are no small matter; it could ruin one’s entire future.
This is also why Xu Sijin still chose not to publicize it even after catching them in bed.
Better to suffer in silence.
“It’s the woman who came with a child that day looking for Mr. Qin.”
Upon Zhang Dawei’s words, a murmur of disapproval spread through the office.
“I knew that woman was no good from the start. She brought her child that day just to latch onto Mr. Qin; it really was bad luck for him to have saved their family.”
“From my point of view, it’s not necessarily the case. Didn’t Vice Chairman Sha suggest that Mr. Qin adopt the child that day? Maybe Vice Chairman Sha is kind-hearted, felt pity for the mother and child, not only adopted the child but took in the child’s mother as well.”
That comment was laden with irony.
Sha Jianqi, being the union vice chairman, had no principles in his actions.
Everyone knew that his wife had a big part in this.
Now they were all happy to watch the drama unfold.
“With the scandal out, I think Vice Chairman Sha can kiss his chairmanship goodbye.”
“Not just that, I just heard on my way here that Vice Chairman Sha has been suspended and is under investigation by the organization. I think he’s really in trouble now.”
And this trouble isn’t just about his position; he might even lose his job.
Qin Yang was twirling his pencil rapidly in his hand, listening to everyone’s gossip with a relaxed expression; clearly, he was in a good mood.
………
Early in the morning, Lin Chuxia went to the Bun Shop at the train station to find Sun Lanlan.
Yesterday was the day Su Wensong went to the Sun Family to propose marriage. Initially, Su Wensong had asked Lin Chuxia to mediate, and Lin Chuxia had given Sun Lanlan three days to consider.
She thought that after consecutive emotional setbacks, Sun Lanlan would truly do as she said—set aside the idea of marriage for now and focus on making money.
But somehow, Su Wensong managed to change her mind in less than three days.
Not only that, but the marriage preparations between the two also proceeded without delay. After Sun Lanlan agreed, Su Wensong directly went to the Sun Family to propose.
Although Lin Chuxia initially mediated due to the Lin Family’s reasons, she did not participate in the subsequent events and instead asked an experienced matchmaker to go to the Sun Family.
Just yesterday, the relationship between the two was officially settled.
