Chapter 1355 - 897:
First Watch—"What have I done to make you look down on me?..." Old Master Qian looked at his wife with a show of strength despite his inner fear, "You need to make it clear to me, what exactly did I do that you look down on?"
Yang Meiqing, I’m telling you, if you can’t give me a reasonable explanation, don’t blame me for being unkind. You know that I’ve hated being wrongly accused more than anything in my life."
"Do you really want me to say it?" Old Lady Qian stared at her husband with a face full of disappointment, "At this point, I practically have evidence in my hand of you interacting with that woman, yet you still pretend to be innocent in front of me, your heart must really be strong..." As she spoke, she walked over to the phone, pressed the speaker button, and dialed the redial...
"What ... what are you doing?" Old Master Qian anxiously grabbed the phone and quickly hung up, "What are you trying to do, causing such a storm between us?"
"Scared?" Old Lady Qian looked at him mockingly, "If you’re scared, just admit it. There’s no need for pretense. I just redialed the number you just dialed, and you’re already scared like this. How dare you say you haven’t done anything to make people look down on you?"
We’ve been married for more than fifty years. If I don’t know you by now, then these years were in vain. Just because I usually turn a blind eye doesn’t mean I’m oblivious to everything.
Just because I endure you doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you. Old Man Qian, do you think too highly of yourself? Do you really think that without you, my life would fall apart?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Old Master Qian stared at his wife angrily, "Listen to these incoherent things you’re saying. Didn’t you just say we’ve been married for over fifty years? Don’t you think saying such things disrespects the fifty years of our relationship?
Yes, I did just call Su Naiyue. I only wanted to tell her that our normal interactions have been exploited by some people and to beware of being trapped by someone’s schemes.
Then you came in, and I hung up quickly to avoid your misunderstanding. If you redialed now, how could I explain that to her?
Do I have to say, not only some people who don’t wish me well are misunderstanding me and throwing dirt on me, but even my own wife has believed them and is dumping that dirt on me too?
If you think that sounds right, go ahead and dial back to Su Naiyue right now. If I stop you, I’m no better than a grandson, truly, go ahead and dial, do it now..."
Old Lady Qian gave Old Master Qian a nonchalant glance, and really picked up the phone to redial. The arrogance on Old Master Qian’s face froze there, and by the time he snapped back to reality, the call had already connected. "Zhengjiang, thinking of me again?"
Old Lady Qian gave a half-smile towards Old Man Qian and said: "He wasn’t thinking of you, I was. I’m Yang Meiqing, the legitimate wife of Qian Zhengjiang."
"Beep beep beep..."
The tone of the disconnected call continued to ring, and the elderly couple stood there, neither speaking. Even someone as thick-skinned as Old Master Qian couldn’t deny anymore that something was amiss with Su Naiyue.
If there really wasn’t an issue, why would the other party answer the call asking if the other person was thinking of her, huh...
"What I’m curious about is, why did she answer the phone calling your name?" Old Lady Qian smiled at Old Master Qian, "Isn’t she afraid someone else might have answered the call?
Or did she only save your number on the phone, making this a direct line between you two? Qian Zhenghong, quite extravagant.
In this regard, our son can’t compare to you. Although he was with Yao Xinqing for so many years, for the most part, it was Yao Xinqing making the sacrifices.
You’re quite something, always saying you don’t have enough money, helping this one and that one— turns out it was all being spent here. Sigh, after all these years of marriage, how did I not see that you’re quite the romantic?
But did this romantic seed sprout in the wrong place? In all our years of marriage, when have you ever truly valued my opinion, when have you ever done this kind of thing for me?"
Old Master Qian’s lips moved, but he couldn’t say a word for a long time.
"Did I hit the nail on the head?" Old Lady Qian wore a face full of disappointment. The truth is, all she just said was conjecture. For so many years, she wasn’t unaware of what her husband was like outside, nor was she unaware of who the other party was, but she always turned a blind eye, only occasionally giving a gentle reminder.
In her view, men making mistakes in this area is indeed disappointing, but not unforgivable. Besides, airing these issues wouldn’t do anyone any good.
