"Why would I think that?" Ji Xiao Li pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth seeming to curve into a faint smile, but that smile didn't quite reach his eyes.

  Qin Zhenyang could only hold the person tighter, his deep eyes narrowing into an arc, "I know you're not happy, my mom is a person I'm all too familiar with, she doesn't like someone and will go to great lengths to say some unpleasant things, you know those aren't my true intentions... but in fact, I've also been implicated. Xiao Li, I know you regret marrying me, just like you said earlier that you didn't want to become a member of the Qin family, but we're already together, and that's an unchangeable fact."

  Ji Xiao Li's lips curled up slightly, "It's not like that. Your mom also said, as long as we separate, as long as we go to the civil affairs bureau again, everything will return to a starting point, you'll find your own family's daughter-in-law, and as for me, I'll..."

  "Impossible!" The man denied the possibility in a domineering manner.

  "Why not? Although I was very happy and at ease during this time, even so, it can't change some facts." Old Lady Qin would never allow such an orphaned girl to ruin her son's future.

  Qin Zhenyang hooked his lips and said, "I can do anything you want, but divorce is impossible! On the first day, I said that we can have a flash marriage, but flash divorce will never be possible! If you don't want to enter the Qin family gate, you don't have to enter! My parents' side I will slowly persuade them, before that, we will live here... At home, there is Lao Da guarding, and I will move out sooner or later. Now it's also what I want."

  Ji Xiaoli knew that this man was stubborn, but she didn't expect him to be so stubborn. Although she was a little angry with the old lady's attitude in her heart, he had always been like this, and she couldn't say anything about it.

  "What's going on with that Chen auntie you mentioned earlier? Does the old man of the Qin family really have two wives?" She just found it strange, in this day and age, how could one household possibly have two mistresses.

  Qin Zhenyang didn't seem to be angry when she mentioned Chen Ayi, nor did he show any surprise. "The old master only had my mom as his original wife, and Chen Ayi was just a concubine, like you heard, with the status of a secondary wife...my second brother is indeed born by Chen Ayi."

  Second Brother? She had always known that the Qin family only had an eldest son and had never heard of a Second Brother, so it turned out to be like this.

  "Isn't your second brother staying at the Qin's house?"

  Qin Zhenyang nodded, "The second house is not in the country, and has immigrated to the United States a long time ago. If the second house were also abroad, it would inevitably enter the Qin family, and when the time comes, the first and second houses will definitely have conflicts, which is not good for the Qin family."

  Ji Xiaoli also understood, "Will they suddenly come back one day? After all, the second house is also Qin's old master's bloodline, and the old master will feel heartbroken to see his son drifting outside, right?"

  If Qin Zhenyang still had any resentment towards Er Fang when he was a child, it has long since dissipated. Er Fang had left when he was very young, but he had met Chen Yiniang before, who was much younger than his father and very beautiful and clever. A woman like that would be impossible for his mother to get along with in the Qin family!

  Mother was born into a wealthy family and her marriage to Father was also a political alliance, so she had a rather narrow-minded view. Compared to Chen Yiniang who came from a humble background, the latter knew better how to please men, which was exactly why Mother detested Chen Yiniang.

  Ji Xiaoli only understood why the old lady was always so mean after he calmly recounted these events, it turned out that this was what they called a family status concept... But even if this concept was powerful, she still let Chen Yiniang take advantage of her and had a sweet time with Lao Yezi for a while, giving birth to Er Ye.

  To put it bluntly, that was an old thorn in the old lady's heart! So she wanted to control her son's marriage and hoped to find a noble young lady of equal social status for him, rather than a woman who could make her son fall deeply in love.

  Ji Xiaoli's mouth twitched, and although she lamented the not-so-clever methods of Old Lady Qin, she was still curious about Chen Ayi: "Is that American still alive?"

  "Mrs. Chen was only fifty years old and still living a good life in the United States, her son, who is the second child, is now quite famous on Wall Street." If she really returns to China in the future, it's likely that she will have a big conflict with her older brother.

  However, if such a thing really happened, he would not sit idly by, after all, he and the boss were brothers born of the same mother.

  Ji Xiaoli didn't know what he was thinking, his expression somewhat tired. She wasn't very fond of watching the melodramatic eight o'clock drama, usually during work hours she should be lying on the desk drawing design drafts. These past few days because of the shop's matters were quite idle, and before nine thirty she started to feel sleepy.

  She lazily yawned, suddenly thought of Ji Xuewei, and couldn't help but smile: "Now I'm excluded from the outside, and I don't know how my good sister is doing... If she's really capable, she'll keep this hidden for a lifetime. However, sometimes I really admire her means."

  Being cruel to others is nothing, being able to be ruthless to oneself is especially that one time in the room, in order to create a miserable mark, she deliberately used a vase to cut herself several times, looking bloody and evoking sympathy.

  Qin Zhenyang heard the three words 'Ji Xuewei', and a hint of playful smile flashed in his sharp eyes: "She's indeed formidable, able to deceive so many people, but wanting to keep deceiving forever might be a bit difficult."

  Ji Xiaoli suddenly felt that there was more to his words, and without realizing it, she grabbed his arm and shook it several times: "What do you mean? Has someone already discovered it?"

  "From the moment that Si Tu Liu Li laid her hands on you at that dinner party, I had already warned her. However, this woman never learns from her mistakes. Previously, I could let it slide for Qin Zong's sake, but since she wants to make a big deal out of this, then I'll just play along and give her what she wants. Won't that be exactly what she's hoping for?" Qin Zhen Yang toyed with his little wife's soft long hair, the sinister glint in his eyes telling her that he definitely wouldn't let things go easily.

  As for what she would do, she didn't know, but her intuition told her that this time Ji Xuewei absolutely wouldn't be able to get away with it so easily...

  It was indeed the case that after Qin Zong knew about it, Ji Xuewei had been worried and fearful, afraid that he would tell the Qin family members, at which point she might really be finished...

  That night, within the short time Qin Zong stayed, Ji Xuewei used all her tricks. She knew Qin Zong liked surprises and pure and lovely women, and after staying in the hospital for a while, she seemed to have become much quieter too.

  The patient took off his clothes, and his soft long hair fell on his smooth shoulders. He stretched out his hand to hug Qin Zong's neck, but was avoided by Qin Zong.

  "Put on your clothes, this is a hospital, do you know what shame is!" Although he didn't tell his family about it, in his impression, Ji Xuewei had already become a woman with deep mind and city, even though he still had some thoughts about her, but that little liking had long since dissipated.

  Looking at Ji Xuewei, he felt as if he was looking at a stranger. Looking at such clumsy seduction, he suddenly remembered his small apartment outside, when Xiao Li was still his girlfriend, and this woman took advantage of his drunkenness to hug him from behind naked, at that time he was just full of vigor and vitality, how could he resist such temptation, so everything that should have happened happened.

  Going through it again now, Qin Zong has long felt disgusted and annoyed by such seduction, even guilty! These are all evidence of his wrongdoing to Xiao Li!

  Ji Xuewei's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this, "A Zheng, how can you say such a thing to me! Am I not ashamed? Touch your own heart, how many days has it been since you last touched me? Even if I were really pregnant, why wouldn't you even come see me? I'm your fiancée, is doing something like this shameful? Then if Ji Xiaoli were doing the same thing today, would that be justified?"

  She was acting, but more than half of what she said came from her heart! What was wrong with her compared to that woman? She asked herself if she wasn't better than her, so why did he become increasingly cold towards her...

  Qin Zong sighed: "You are you, she is her, she is already the wife of Third Uncle, I and she have already become impossible."

  "If they weren't together, wouldn't I be naturally abandoned by you and would you choose her again?"

  Qin Zong did not respond, but in his heart, he already had an answer.

  At that time, breaking up with her was not her intention. Now, after all these years, he still misses her kindness, but she has become Third Uncle's woman...

  Just like Ji Xuewei said, if the person who was seducing him earlier was Ji Xiaoli, wouldn't that be a matter of course? Qin Zong thought about it many times, and he always felt that it was indeed so.

  But he knew that Ji Xiao Li was just Ji Xiao Li, she didn't even bother to entice him, if she would cling to him tightly, they wouldn't have broken up in the first place.

  It's just that if she really did it, I'm afraid I would have been enchanted by her long ago, and couldn't stop myself... But, there is no "but" in this world.

  "Put on your clothes, if mom comes back and sees us like this, it won't look good. As for her, I've told you before that it's impossible between us, stop thinking about it all day."

  Ji Xuewei didn't believe it, she could see the shadow of that despicable person in this man's eyes, see his nostalgia for her, what was this? Was he regretful now?

  She knew that just being engaged was not enough; only by marrying him and truly becoming a daughter-in-law of the Qin family could she change all this.

  "Ah Jiong, you won't tell mom about that, will you?" she asked tentatively.

  Qin Zong's expression was somewhat impatient, and he coldly stared at her for a moment before saying: "I didn't say anything! But what you did is really too much. Even if you don't like your sister in your heart, she is already my third uncle's wife! Xue Wei, I have respected my third uncle since childhood, and I don't want you to do anything else to ruin the relationship between us uncles and nephews! If there is a next time, you know what the consequences will be!"

  To say that he was softhearted, he just wanted to give her another chance, a chance to reform. But he didn't know that some people simply don't know what it means to change, and once they've done something, they'll keep doing it.

  Ji Xuewei heard the warning and seemed to behave even more obediently, nodding repeatedly: "I won't... This time I was blinded by jealousy, but it really won't happen again, as long as you're willing to give me another chance..."

  Opportunity? For Ji Xuewei, this time she didn't take down that cheap person, next time she will definitely become more ruthless!

  Qin Zhenyang has always adhered to the policy of "not going beyond three", so he seemed to have guessed that Qin Zhong would be soft-hearted, and before this, he had already made a ruthless move.

  A special move designed specifically for Juri Han!
