Chapter 393 - 392
Tian Qiu wanted to ask, but Beisitian wouldn’t say anything, and there was nothing she could do. She was also hesitant about whether to let her family know about this matter. She finally decided to tell her parents first, since the Weng Family was instigating things; she couldn’t remain silent, or they would suffer in silence.Tian Qiu returned home and told Tian Qingyi and Feng Yue about the matter. The two were immediately enraged, wanting to confront the Weng Family, but Tian Qiu stopped them.
Although Tian Qingyi and Feng Yue had strong vanity and loved boasting, they also had their pride, especially when it involved their only daughter; they certainly couldn’t be rash.
Tian Qiu decided not to wait for them to ask, so she just told them her plan. She didn’t mention Beisitian much, only saying it was her own idea.
Tian Qingyi and Feng Yue exchanged a glance. If it was truly confirmed that the child in that woman’s belly wasn’t Weng Yong’an’s, then they should indeed make a fuss. But how could they ensure it wasn’t Weng Yong’an’s?
Tian Qiu was silent; she couldn’t guarantee it. Beisitian had said so, and when she did, her tone was unquestionable, and she promised to explain the reason later, which was why Tian Qiu believed her for the time being.
But how could she tell her parents?
"Anyway, don’t worry about it. I’ll handle this myself." Tian Qiu frowned, saying, unable to explain, she simply chose not to.
How could Tian Qingyi and Feng Yue let their daughter handle such a troubling matter alone? After Tian Qiu left, they went to the main family and informed the elderly couple, as the Weng Family’s bullying couldn’t be tolerated by the Tian Family.
Tian Heming was furious upon hearing this, and Dong Fengzhen’s face turned gloomy enough to drip water; the Weng Family was really going too far!
Feng Yue felt sorry for her daughter and also informed the elderly couple of her daughter’s plan, finally saying, "This child cares for others. She knows there are many things going on in the family recently and even instructed us not to tell you two elders. But since the Weng Family has bullied us, if we endure it, it would make the Tian Family look incompetent."
Indeed, some things should be endured, but others shouldn’t be. If you endure, others will think you’re easy to bully and will continue doing so next time.
"Let Xiaoqiu stay here for now; we want to see what the Weng Family has to say." Dong Fengzhen said solemnly.
Feng Yue’s expression relaxed. She was truly afraid that the main family wouldn’t intervene during this time; she and her husband didn’t have much power to say anything in front of the Weng Family, nor could they stand up for their daughter.
Tian Qiu moved into the main family that very day. In the outer courtyard, there was the second family’s room, and she stayed in the suite.
After having lunch, Dong Fengzhen called Tian Qiu to the inner courtyard to talk, fearing she would feel bored alone. At this moment, Weng Yong’an came by, hoping to meet Tian Qiu.
Tian Qiu immediately refused. No matter what Weng Yong’an said, she wouldn’t agree to meet and stated that she would proceed with a divorce soon.
Weng Yong’an nearly went mad upon hearing the message conveyed by the Tian Family. He feared that Tian Qiu would propose divorce, and it indeed developed to this point. This hateful woman, why couldn’t she listen to his explanation!
Weng Yong’an pestered for a long time, but the Tian Family didn’t let him meet anyone, so he returned without success.
Shortly after he left, a woman came to visit, accompanied by two men in suits, who looked like bodyguards.
The woman was Wen Xianglai, a returned overseas Chinese from the Wen Family. The policies were already inclined towards them, and their business overseas was booming, with development thriving after returning, significantly surpassing the Weng Family in overall strength.
Wen Xianglai was a seductive woman, different from Tian Qiu’s fiery nature. She carried allure everywhere she went, with every move seeming to tempt people into sin.
Wen Xianglai’s long eyes carried traces of charm, and the beauty mark below her bright red lips added a touch of allure to her.
This third party, Wen Xianglai, brazenly came to the Tian Family to find Tian Qiu. They completely disregarded the Tian Family, even more so disregarding Tian Qiu.
Dong Fengzhen was furious upon learning this, her face turning ashen, intending to have her expelled. Unexpectedly, Tian Qiu agreed to meet her.
Dong Fengzhen was concerned, fearing Tian Qiu might suffer losses, so she summoned several people to stand guard in the courtyard.
Wen Xianglai looked at the ancient courtyard filled with antique charm with interest. She had always wanted to buy such a courtyard but hadn’t found a satisfactory place due to her high standards. She didn’t expect to see one here.
This place was indeed nice; she considered discussing with her mother about buying it.
After lingering in the courtyard enough, Wen Xianglai entered the house, with her demeanor, looking all around as if she had already considered this place hers.
Tian Qiu sat quietly without speaking, letting her wander enough.
Wen Xianglai finally finished looking around and confidently sat on the Grandmaster’s chair beside the table, with Tian Qiu separated only by the table.
"Does Mrs. Tian know why I came?" Wen Xianglai asked with a faint smile, her sunglasses hanging on the clothes at her chest, making her look very stylish.
She called her Mrs. Tian, not Mrs. Weng.
Tian Qiu suppressed her anger and said, "How would I know if you don’t tell me?"
Wen Xianglai seemed indifferent to her provocations and laughed, "Yong’an and I already have the fruits of victory. Mrs. Tian won’t be so heartless as to break us apart, right? I heard yours was a political marriage, so you and Yong’an could finally relax, and you wouldn’t have such pressure."
Pressure, referring, of course, to the pressure of having children!
Despite Tian Qiu being prepared, upon hearing Wen Xianglai’s words, she was still infuriated, her face turning ashen with veins bulging on her forehead. She restrained the impulse to slap Wen Xianglai, taking a deep breath.
Wen Xianglai had already prepared; having been slapped once by this woman, she planned to return the favor. Of course, she couldn’t do it at their home; she had to find an opportunity, or perhaps have Yong’an return the slap—it would seem even better.
Seeing Tian Qiu suppress her anger, Wen Xianglai felt somewhat smug, realizing she had already been warned by the Weng Family.
Tian Qiu said coldly, "Sorry, Yong’an and I love each other very much. I won’t divorce him. Every man makes small mistakes now and then; since he has returned, of course, I will forgive him!"
Wen Xianglai’s initial smile disappeared upon hearing her words. Perhaps the Weng Family didn’t know the truth about her and Weng Yong’an, but she was well aware; she had never conquered this man.
But precisely because she hadn’t conquered him, she was driven by the desire to conquer. She might not have much affection for Weng Yong’an, but she wanted to see how captivating she could be, to see if Weng Yong’an would fall under her charm and drift apart from his long-term wife, leaving them estranged like strangers!
"Yong’an is merely humoring you. The Weng Family and Yong’an both want a child. You can’t provide one, but I can!" Wen Xianglai knew precisely which words would strike a blow.
