Chapter 36: Chapter 36 The Lin Family and Qingwu have cut ties! Chapter 36: Chapter 36 The Lin Family and Qingwu have cut ties! “Wouldn’t it be improper to call off the engagement at Ms. Shen’s birthday party?”
After all, the Shen and Pei families have been friends for many years, and the engagement was meant to bring the two families even closer. Pei Jue calling off the engagement at Ms. Shen’s birthday party would undoubtedly embarrass the Shen Family…
Pei Jue spoke coldly, “I will definitely call off this engagement. I can’t wait any longer!”
Without breaking off the engagement, he couldn’t pursue Qingwu in a perfect state!
Even if Shen Yurou’s character wasn’t to his liking, they were still engaged, and breaking it off was the right thing to do for both her and Qingwu!
It was also the respect this relationship deserved!
Annie thought of Shen Yurou’s troublesome antics and couldn’t bring herself to like her.
Before she even married in, she wanted to fire her would-be mother-in-law, so Annie had no good feelings.
In comparison, Ms. Qingwu was far better!
“Yes, I understand!”
…
Ning City, Lin Family Villa
The maid handed Qian Yueqiang a bowl of bird’s nest soup and spoke in a hushed voice, “Ma’am, Mr. Lin seems to have gone to see Qingwu.”
Qian Yueqiang was well aware that the old lady of the Lin Family didn’t have any shares!
She secretly took the money that Lin Family lost to support her own family!
If Lin Jingsheng found out, there would be arguments again; just the thought of it gave her a headache.
“Ma’am, that girl Qingwu is as cunning as a fox. She has never been on your side since she was a child. I believe she’ll try anything to return to the Lin Family, and Mr. Lin is easy to sway. If Qingwu succeeds, what will happen to Miss Chengcheng?”
“What you say makes sense; Qingwu stays because she hasn’t let go of her feelings for the Lin Family. Last time, she flirted with Mingchuan right before my eyes… Contact the newspaper, we need to sever all ties with her officially in public!”
“Got it!”
…
Beijing, Shen Mansion
As Qingwu walked into the house, she saw Zuo Wanjun wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
“Mom, what are you doing? Let me help you.”
“No, no, I made a cake for you, but I just can’t get this little bunny right!”
Zuo Wanjun came from an intellectual family. Elder Zuo had once won the Huanor International Literary Award, and Mrs. Zuo had made significant scientific contributions to the country. Zuo Wanjun had never cooked for herself.
Qingwu watched as her mother’s flawless hands picked up a small knife and stabbed it into the chocolate, splitting the bunny right in half.
“Oh no, I messed up again! I’m really useless!”
The nearby trash can was filled with failed bunny carcasses!
“No need, it’s nice like this, it looks… very cute.”
“Really? I’m so glad you like it!”
Qingwu picked up a small cake and ate a bite in front of Zuo Wanjun, “It tastes great. Thank you, Mom. You don’t need to do this for me.”
“How can that be? I’ve done nothing for you, and you’ve suffered so much; just the thought of my baby having such a hard time makes my heart ache!”
“I’m not having a hard time.”
Zuo Wanjun patted Qingwu’s hand, “You eat first, I have a gift for you!”
“Okay.”
When Shen Yurou entered, she saw Qingwu sitting alone at the table, eating a cake that looked unrecognizable!
How pathetic!
As a daughter of the Shen Family, she always ate pastries made by Master Jakes. It was only a wild girl like Qingwu who would think anything tasted good.
“Sis, what are you eating? Ugh, what is that? I know you’re used to being poor and like to save, but not everything garbage should go in your mouth…”
Qingwu gave her a faint look but didn’t say anything.
“But come to think of it, even the home that raised you for eighteen years can abandon you, so I’m sure you haven’t seen anything good, have you?”
Shen Yurou’s face brimmed with arrogance!
“What do you mean by that?”
“Oh, you didn’t know? It’s pitiful; your foster parents have announced in the newspaper that they’re breaking all ties with you. They don’t want you pestering them!”
Qingwu replied lightly, “Oh.”
It was good that the Lin Family did this themselves; it saved her a lot of trouble.
Shen Yurou: “…”
What does ‘oh’ mean?
Shouldn’t she be crying her heart out upon hearing this?!
Even the family that raised her for so many years could abandon her, which shows how bad Qingwu’s character is!
If Shen Family’s parents knew about this, they would surely be disappointed in her. Then they’d know that she, Shen Yurou, was the most graceful daughter of the Shen Family!
Shen Yurou took out a newspaper, full of confidence!
Zuo Wanjun, who came down the stairs, snatched the newspaper from her hand and read it carefully.
“What is this?”
“Mom! Qingwu’s foster parents announced breaking ties with her in the newspaper! Doesn’t this mean…”
Zuo Wanjun said angrily, “That family is really too much! How can they treat my child like this? It makes me furious!”
Shen Yurou: “…”
Shouldn’t the blame be on Qingwu?
Why start scolding the Lin Family people?
Zuo Wanjun hugged Qingwu tightly, her heart aching terribly.
“Good daughter, don’t be sad, people who treat you like this will surely get their retribution! Mom will protect you!”
Qingwu patted her mother’s trembling back, feeling warm inside.
She didn’t care about the Lin Family; the only emotional attachment she had for them was already buried.
“Yes, I’m not sad.”
Thinking about the life Qingwu must have had before, Zuo Wanjun was so angry she wanted to tear the Lin Family to shreds!
“Xiao Wu, this is a necklace Mom just bought for you, wear it as you like. There’s an auction tomorrow, and Mom will bring back something else for you.”
Shen Yurou looked at the dazzling Pink Diamond in Zuo Wanjun’s hand, feeling a headache with envy!
Why was Zuo Wanjun still buying such an expensive necklace for Qingwu after all this!
Shouldn’t she have been kicked out already?
Shen Yurou was extremely disappointed with the scene before her!
While the mother and daughter weren’t paying attention, she sneaked to the corner of the room and dialed Mrs. Shen’s number, spicing up the story before telling her…
“Grandma, isn’t Sister Qingwu unlucky? Otherwise, why would they not want her? If Grandma suddenly said she wouldn’t raise me after all these years, I would be heartbroken, but Sister Qingwu isn’t sad at all, she looks quite happy…”
“Hmph! That heartless and unlucky girl! Even people from the countryside don’t want her, what makes her think our Shen Family would? If she wants to enter the Shen Family, it depends on whether I agree or not! Yurou, your priority is to get in touch with Pei San, securing the Pei Family is your reliable hope!”
Laying on the hospital bed, the old lady squinted her triangular eyes and sneered, “As for that girl Qingwu, I have plenty of ways to deal with her!”
“Grandma spoils me the most! I got it, I’ll call Pei San right away. Don’t worry, Grandma!”
“Hm.”
Mrs. Shen called Zuo Wanjun’s phone.
“I’ve been ill for so long, the kids don’t come to see me, but that’s fine; why doesn’t Qingwu, my granddaughter, come to take care of me? In the eyes of the Shen Family, do I still exist as a grandmother? Make Qingwu take care of me at the hospital tomorrow!”
Hearing her voice gave Zuo Wanjun a headache.
“Mom, aren’t there caregivers in the hospital? How could Xiao Wu know how to take care of anyone?”
“Stop with the excuses! She has nothing to do all day, not coming to take care of me, does she intend to flirt with men outside?”
“Mom, please don’t say such harsh words…”
“She must come tomorrow! Otherwise, let’s see how you’ll handle it!”
Mrs. Shen hung up the phone, leaving Zuo Wanjun with a headache.
That old hag, she bullied her enough when she was young, and now she’s targeting her daughter again!
But Mrs. Shen was an elder, and she didn’t want the kids to hold a grudge against their grandmother…
At worst, she’d grit her teeth and go herself, but she couldn’t let her daughter suffer!
“Xiao Wu, if you don’t want to go, then don’t, Mom will shield you!”
“It’s okay, I’ll go tomorrow.”
